Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 86 The Dai Family's Compromise

In a themed hotel within the Heavenly Soul Empire's Heavenly Dou City.

With a thud, a blond youth was thrown out like a rag doll.

If Han Ruoruo and the other Shrek Academy students were here, they would definitely recognize that the person in front of them was none other than their teammate Dai Tianyong.

He received a message from the Dai family at the last minute and left immediately, without going with Han Ruoruo and the others to watch the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's match.

Of course, if he were there, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan probably wouldn't have gone, since some people are really disgusting.

"Why should I?! Since he dared to provoke me, I was supposed to kill him! What did I do wrong?! Why should I be punished?!"

Standing beside Dai Tianyong, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties with long blond hair and a face somewhat similar to Dai's said with a grim expression, "Why? Just because someone said one thing, they summoned me back from the border of the Empire? If it weren't for the absolute control my Dai family holds over the military camps of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo royal family would have been the first to strike us down!"

Dai Tianyong sneered, "Then I'm not wrong either. Dai Hao, you're just twenty years older than me, otherwise the position of Duke would never have been yours!"

Indeed, the person before us is Dai Hao, who just inherited the title of Duke of White Tiger and the position of Marshal of the Star Luo Empire a few years ago.

Dai Tianyong was his half-brother, who was twenty years younger than him.

Hearing Dai Tianyong's stubborn words, Dai Hao laughed in anger, "My dear brother, you don't actually think our Dai family is so strong that we can ignore Super Douluo!"

Immediately, Dai Hao's expression turned cold. "Let me tell you, our Dai family is very weak. If it weren't for the protection of more than 80% of the Star Luo Empire's army, the Xu family wouldn't dare to provoke us. Do you think the Xu family would allow a foreigner like us to control military power?"

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you succeeded? The Ye family could wipe out my Dai family without lifting a finger. They wouldn't care about the stability of the Star Luo Empire like the Xu family did!

A white dagger flashed swiftly in Dai Hao's hand, striking Dai Tianyong like a streak of light.

An expression of disbelief flashed in Dai Tianyong's eyes. "You—"

"You brought this on yourself. For the sake of the Dai family, I had no choice but to do it!"

Dai Hao's expression was indifferent, his face devoid of any emotion.

He casually wiped the blood off the white dagger with a piece of silk, then kicked Dai Tianyong's corpse aside.

"Alright, tell His Majesty that I have taken care of everything. Remember to dispose of the body properly. I also need to give you some instructions regarding Shrek Academy."

Dai Hao seemed to be talking to thin air. After giving his instructions, he changed his clothes and left.

After Dai Hao left, a figure with graying temples appeared in the room. "Heh, just like the legends say, the Dai family doesn't hesitate to stab their own brothers."

The moment the old man appeared, there was a noticeable fluctuation in the space inside the room. It was hard to imagine that his martial soul could actually interfere with space!

He could easily dispose of Dai Tianyong's body, after all, the old man was a Super Douluo.

Explaining this to Shrek Academy was giving the old man quite a headache. "Never mind, I'll go to the Sea God Pavilion for a while and pick up that little guy."

The light and shadows have faded, and everything has vanished, except for the faint smell of blood, which still tells the story of a tragic scene of fratricide that once took place here.

Several days have passed, and Shrek Academy has successfully advanced to the next round as the top team in its group.

However, Dai Tianyong, one of the regular team members, has not been heard from since he asked for leave.

Apart from Old Song, who already knew the truth, everyone else was very anxious, especially Han Ruoruo, who was the team leader.

With the round of 16 about to begin, they still haven't managed to gather all their players.

"Well, you don't need to wait anymore. Something came up in the Dai family, and Dai Tianyong has already returned to the Star Luo Empire. I just received the news from the academy."

Old Song casually explained, then turned his gaze to Zhang Lexuan, "There is currently one vacancy in the regular selection. If you are willing, Zhang Lexuan, I can give you the spot and we won't have the academy send anyone else."

This surprised Zhang Lexuan, and her beautiful eyes immediately turned to Ye Ying.

Ye Ying nodded and said gently, "Sister Xuanxuan, this is your chance. Besides, do we need to be so formal with each other?"

He understood Zhang Lexuan's meaning perfectly well.

However, he was also well aware that he was indeed much weaker than Zhang Lexuan in terms of strength.

With his mere Soul Venerable strength, facing opponents who were at least high-level Soul Masters was far too difficult.

Finally, regarding their relationship, Ye Ying really didn't need to compete with Zhang Lexuan for anything.

After Zhang Lexuan was confirmed to be promoted from the reserve team to the main team, before Shrek Academy's team could even take the field, several uninvited guests arrived at the scene.

Ye Ying's father, Ye Qiukong, along with his four cousins, sat down right next to Ye Ying. "You brat, you didn't even tell us Le Xuan was participating in the main competition!"

"that is!"

"Well, we elders are here to cheer on our nephew's wife, aren't we?"

While Ye Qiukong was reprimanding Ye Ying, Ye Ying's third uncle, Ye Qiufeng, and youngest uncle, Ye Qiulei, also stood up and joined in the commotion beside Ye Qiukong.

"Can I say that this was a last-minute decision by Elder Song?"

He was usually very tired of dealing with his two uncles. Ye Qiufeng and Ye Qiulei's personalities, to put it nicely, were pure of heart, but to put it bluntly, weren't they just simple-minded?

While the two were arguing, Ye Ying's fourth uncle, Ye Qiuyun, took the opportunity to send a telepathic message to Ye Ying, which was nothing more than the matter of Dai Tianyong being expelled from the family by Dai Hao.

As for what happens next, it's about how to arrange for the pre-selected wolf to bite the rabbit.

No, the Tang Clan shouldn't be considered a rabbit; it's more like a hedgehog.

While Ye Ying and his two nephews were arguing, the Shrek Academy competition should have started.

Zhang Lexuan, who was selected as a replacement player, still stood out among the crowd despite not having worked with others before.

It's hard to imagine that she is a girl who is five years younger than the average age of the other team members.

Relying on his second and fourth soul skills, as well as a level-five soul-guided longsword that he had purchased from the Soul Guidance Department and modified by Ye Ying, he managed to eliminate two opponents in a short period of time.

This remarkable performance has drawn attention to Tianyue City, where Zhang Lexuan hails from, with even the royal family of the Tianhun Empire considering a marriage alliance.

Unfortunately, when they saw the materials laid out on the table, they were quite frightened, as some of the people involved were completely outside their reach!
