Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

Chapter 346 This younger sister is no longer acceptable

"Brother, did you look for me and Sister Meng?"

The following morning, Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen, led by Jing Hongchen and accompanied by Xiao Hongchen, arrived at the Crown Prince's side hall in the palace.

At this moment, Xu Tianran, dressed in a purple crystal dragon robe, sat on a wooden recliner. Beside him was Ju Zi, who was kneeling on a futon, dressed in light clothes, serving him tea and cutting fruit. In front of him was a slightly low long table of fragrant wood, the faint woody fragrance of which was no less than that of top-grade incense, making people feel refreshed and relaxed at first whiff.

"Good morning, Your Majesty." x2

"Please be seated, my two esteemed ministers. Today, I would like to trouble you, Master Hongchen and Minister Xiao, to act as my intermediaries."

Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen bowed first, and then, at Xu Tianran's invitation, sat down on the left side of the long table.

Meng Hongchen also very politely asked Xu Tianran for permission first, and then sat down on the right side with Ju Zi at the latter's suggestion.

Xu Tianzhen, however, jogged over to Ju Zi's side without saying a word. After sitting down, she reached out and picked up a bunch of grapes from the long table, holding them to her lips and taking small bites.

"Naive, mind your manners. Important guests are arriving soon; today is not the time for you to fool around!"

"Tch~ I know, I know, it's the same as waiting for people to arrive before I cook~ Speaking of which, did my brother call me and Sister Meng here today to see that important guest? Who is it that has such a big face?"

Xu Tianzhen casually waved her right hand and said dismissively, then continued to savor the delicious grapes one bite after another, completely ignoring the important guest her brother had mentioned.

Xu Tianran's lips trembled slightly at this, and he suddenly felt as if he had made a mistake. His younger sister's status was indeed extremely noble, but her personality was truly somewhat...

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Meng Hongchen, who was sitting upright. Although she did not have the gentleness of a lady, she was not bad at all, as she possessed a heroic spirit that could only be cultivated through years of training and combat.

Look at others, then look at my own sister, sigh—it's true what they say, comparisons are the best policy!

If it weren't for Xu Tianzhen's special martial soul, her age at the time, and her usefulness, he would have already been ruthless enough to kill her, given her disrespectful and undisciplined behavior!

Don't think he can't bring himself to do this. He slaughtered almost all the heirs of the Xu family royal family of his generation, as well as their relatives. What's a mere woman? Great men don't concern themselves with trifles!

"The reason I've summoned you and Miss Meng today is to ask for your opinions on—an arranged marriage."

"You're planning to sell me off? I won't! I already have someone I like!"

Upon hearing the words "arranged marriage," Xu Tianzhen jumped up as if on cue, pointing at Xu Tianran's face and angrily objecting. She even flung the bunch of grapes in her hand away, with several grapes rolling to the ground. Seeing this, the latter had no choice but to suppress his anger and lower his head, refusing to glance at his sister's rude behavior.

He is now the Regent, the emperor who will definitely ascend the throne within two years in the entire Sun Moon Empire, and he has a group of generals with titles of Douluo level following him. Doesn't he have any dignity?

But in order to complete his grand plan more smoothly, he endured it!

However, upon hearing Xu Tianzhen's reply, Xu Tianran's heart skipped a beat. He then slightly tilted his head and looked at Jing Hongchen with a questioning gaze, clearly implying, "What do you mean?"

He had only two purposes in arranging for his younger sister to study at the Royal Soul Master Academy. First, he didn't want to discipline her during the Year of the Tiger and wanted someone to help keep an eye on her. Needless to say, this surrogate parent was Jing Hongchen.

Another purpose was to ensure she had a relatively happy childhood so that she would be more obedient when she became his political tool in the future, and wouldn't make things difficult for him.

When he sent Xu Tianzhen to the Royal Soul Master Academy, he specifically instructed Jing Hongchen that anyone who tried to do something wrong could be punished according to the circumstances, such as—castration! Then disappear from the world, and it would be best not to let Xu Tianzhen, who was in his adolescence, have any such thoughts.

Some political resources are only truly valuable when they are clean, and marriage is a prime example of this.

Now—you're telling me my carefully prepared tool for marriage is tainted? And right at this crucial moment, just before it begins today?!

What are you trying to do, Jing Hongchen?

The saying "serving a ruler is like serving a tiger" couldn't be more true. Jing Hongchen, who was to Xu Tianran's left, was also terrified by Xu Tianzhen's words and broke out in a cold sweat. This—this isn't right, is it?

"Your Majesty, I—I do not know!"

After racking his brains for a long time, Jing Hongchen still couldn't figure out where he had made a mistake. Thanks to the existence of the soul tool, he was monitoring Xu Tianzhen's every word and action in all aspects except when he was sleeping or washing up. Over the years, he had castrated at least seven or eight Siberian sausages, so how could anyone have kidnapped Xu Tianzhen right under his nose?

That's impossible! It shouldn't be like this! Who would dare?

Seeing the interaction between the two, Xu Tianzhen, who was furious, realized that she was being watched. She was both angry and annoyed, but looking at Jing Hongchen, who usually took good care of her, she couldn't bring herself to get angry. Then she directly turned to her brother, Xu Tianran, and said in a spoiled manner, "It's the one I fell for yesterday, that guy named Ning Wuque. I'm determined to marry him now, what can you do about it!"

"Huh? Ah—oh~ that's good, that's great."

The expected outburst of anger did not occur. Xu Tianran's expression changed several times before he calmly took a segment of orange from Ju Zi's hand, put it in his mouth, and even nodded slightly with pleasure.

This scene left Xu Tianzhen speechless. She stood there for a long time, unsure of what to say, before turning to look at Meng Hongchen sitting beside her.

But the latter had already lowered her head with her cheeks flushed, her expression as if she were completely absorbed in her own world and ignored what was happening outside.

She reached out her left hand, scratched the back of her head, and for a moment couldn't quite process what she was seeing. She sat down awkwardly.

"Phew~"

Across from her, Jing Hongchen sighed in relief. It turned out she had only scared herself. It was good that she liked Ning Wuque; that would save her a lot of trouble.

Xiao Hongchen, standing next to him, seemed to know everything perfectly well, calmly pouring himself tea and drinking it without paying any attention from beginning to end.

He was quite satisfied with Ning Wuque becoming his brother-in-law, but in his calculations, the probability of this was so small that he could even make a mistake in imprinting the core magic array when making a level one soul guide ray gun.

It's simply impossible for them to be.

"I'll have to clean up this mess again. I'll get to have another good drink with him tonight."

He felt as if everything was under control, and he could already see the scene of him drinking and chatting with Ning Wuque tonight.

Inside a small side hall for receiving guests, several people were preoccupied with their own thoughts.
