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

Chapter 348 Ye Xishui, Xu Tianran's Wisdom

Tap~ Tap~ Tap~

Half an hour later, heavy footsteps sounded outside the side hall of the palace. Looking up, everyone saw Ning Wuque walking towards them.

He had changed into a more formal outfit, and wore a colorful glass badge on his chest, symbolizing his identity and position at this meeting.

Coming alone, that takes guts!

Xu Tianran was extremely satisfied with this scene. He greatly admired Ning Wuque's behavior at this moment. However, a few words soon made him pause. Then, his gaze sharpened and he began to calculate and increase Ning Wuque's value in his heart.

Show yourself.

"Junior Gu Long greets Senior Ye Xishui."

Holy crap, how could this woman be in the palace? And I didn't even notice her!

The ancient dragon, hidden in the spatial crevice beside Ning Wuque, was extremely shocked. It was as if it could not discover Ye Xishui in the same way it had discovered Long Xiaoyao. Just how powerful was Ye Xishui?

Are there differences even between limits?

Indeed, those three words were spoken by Ye Xishui, but she was not actually in the side hall; she transmitted them directly using her soul power.

Gu Long instantly guessed the other person's identity upon hearing the female voice, and at the same time, he stepped out from the spatial rift and took off his hood to reveal his true appearance.

As for why he acted this way, it's simple: whoever has the bigger fist gets the respect. Besides, Ning Wuque was invited, and the other party would never rashly attack a junior. If he didn't show up and salute, it would be easy for this woman to find a pretext to use against him.

He originally thought that there was at most one Long Xiaoyao in this palace, so how could Ye Xishui, as the current leader of the evil soul masters, possibly appear in the palace?

That's why he agreed to let Ning Wuque come to the appointment. Otherwise, even if Ning Wuque wanted to come, he wouldn't have let him take the risk without being absolutely certain of success.

Not to mention Gu Long, even Ning Wuque was somewhat surprised by Ye Xishui's arrival. Even if she was recognized as Xu Tianran's godmother, she probably wouldn't rashly appear in such a dangerous place.

It should be noted that the Sun Moon Empire also has a Hall of Worship, where the combined efforts of the level nine Soul Masters might be enough to injure a Limit Douluo. In addition, those level nine fixed-position Soul Guidance Cannons would at least cause him to lose some flesh, even if he didn't die.

Especially that old man Kong Deming, whose strength in the original work was enough to contend with Ye Xishui at level 94. After breaking through to Super Douluo, he could even unleash the Silver Moon Divine Light Wave with power close to that of a god. Now, even if his strength has not reached its peak, together with the group of old guys in the Hall of Offerings, he is enough to make Ye Xishui extremely wary.

Cooperation requires both parties to be of equal strength; otherwise, they will only become puppets.

Clearly, the Sun Moon Empire, in its current state of total war, is fully capable of cooperating with the two Limit Douluos, especially since one of them is in a state of flux, half-awake and half-asleep.

"Okay, you guys chat, I'm listening."

Ye Xishui responded to Gu Long's salute with only these bland words.

In response, Gu Long gestured for Ning Wuque to enter the side hall alone, while he himself vanished into the space once more without disturbing him.

If he wasn't mistaken, Ye Xishui should have also escaped into the space. The prerequisite for becoming a Limit Douluo in this era is to condense a second resonance space soul core. Even if the martial soul doesn't have spatial properties, one can still come into contact with the mysteries of space, at most not as powerful as a Limit Douluo who specializes in space.

Upon hearing Gu Long's renewed disappearance, Ye Xishui, who was hiding nearby, glanced at Long Xiaoyao beside her and said nothing, tacitly agreeing to his actions.

Just as Ning Wuque and Gu Long had thought, if it weren't for Xu Tianran's invitation, there would only be Long Xiaoyao watching their every word and action.

Ye Xishui would never set foot in the Mingdu Imperial Palace, a den of dragons and tigers that could lead to her mutual destruction. As a Soul Master, she knew all too well the capabilities of modern Soul Tools.

It's no exaggeration to say that if she were hit at close range by several level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, even if she activated her Martial Soul True Form, she would hardly survive! She might even need to expose her second Martial Soul to survive.

Xu Tianran, on the other hand, had his own considerations.

Although she had taken Ye Xishui as her godmother, how could she gain Ye Xishui's trust when there was no blood relation or verbal connection? Moreover, Ye Xishui already had a son and an illegitimate child, and her maternal love had been worn away by the passage of time.

This invitation was a move by Xu Tianran to kill two birds with one stone. He needed Ye Xishui to trust him more so that he could carry out a righteous betrayal after using them!

Similarly, only with more trust can he better understand and utilize the relationship with Ye Xishui, allowing evil soul masters to fight for the Sun Moon Empire, which does not have sufficient troops, and to serve as cannon fodder to further reduce the losses brought to the empire by the war.

Putting aside other things, Xu Tianran may lack in interpersonal skills, but in terms of cunning and strategy, he is proud to be on this continent.

He's the kind of man who dares to scheme against even two Limit Douluos!

Putting everything else aside, even knowing that Ye Xishui was present, Ning Wuque calmly stepped into the side hall, sat down next to Xiao Hongchen with practiced ease, and glanced around at everyone present.

Then he bowed slightly to Xu Tianran and said, "I am Ning Wuque of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. I thank His Majesty the Regent for the invitation. I have come to pay my respects today with a cup of tea instead of wine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Wuque calmly took the teapot from the wooden table, filled a cup in front of him, then cupped it with both hands, gave a slight salute, tilted his head back, and drank it all down, showing his utmost sincerity.

afraid?

He has destruction protecting him, what is there to fear? He has the demonic possession of Electrolux, what is there to be afraid of?

So eat, drink, and chat as you please. Constantly worrying will only make life less interesting and surprising. Appropriate worry is called being prepared, while excessive worry is just needless worry.

-

"Your Excellency has quite the temperament. Oranges, fill them to the brim for me."

Xu Tianran smiled and instructed Ju Zi beside him, who obediently poured him a full cup of tea. He held the teacup high with both hands, pointing it at Ning Wuque: "To you!"

Xu Tianran tilted his head back and placed the teacup on the long table with a soft "clatter." If Ning Wuque had hesitated to approach him out of extreme fear of Ye Xishui, Xu Tianran would have had to reassess the situation. But now—

He found something in the other person that he didn't have, and his eyes were full of admiration and affection. He wished he could take him under his wing and make him fight for him!

Unfortunately, this is ultimately unlikely.

"Flawless".

At halftime, Xiao Hongchen, sitting next to Ning Wuque, raised his teacup and gave him a look, which Ning Wuque understood.

Clang!

Teacups clinked together.
