Chapter 225 Conspiracy

"No need! I'm already here!"

Dai Mubai strode over, his sharp gaze sweeping over Tok beside him. Tok's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Dai Mubai's eyes.

"What brings Your Highness here?" Tok asked respectfully in a low voice.

"Hmph! What do we have to do with you where we are? Tok, I remember you're no longer the palace steward, are you? What are you trying to do by trespassing into the palace?!" Dai Mubai didn't speak, but Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing behind Dai Mubai, snorted coldly and shouted sharply.

"Your subordinate... I am terrified! I dare not! I will leave now!" Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's question, a twisted look of resentment flashed across Tok's lowered face, but he dared not show it on the surface. In order to prevent Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing from noticing the change in his expression, he even knelt down on the ground, his forehead pressed firmly against the ground!

"Get lost!" Dai Mubai looked down at him and sneered disdainfully.

Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tok felt as if he had been granted a pardon and actually scrambled out of the palace!

But Han Feng clearly saw the resentment on Tok's face!

Han Feng didn't believe that Dai Mubai couldn't see the malice in Tok's heart, but since Dai Mubai chose to let Tok go, he must have his own reasons.

Haha! Long time no see!

After Tok left, Dai Mubai laughed and walked over with his arms outstretched.

Han Feng rolled his eyes, grinned, and opened his arms, saying insincerely, "Long time no see, long time no see!"

As they spoke, the two walked towards each other, seemingly wanting to embrace, but they passed each other by. Dai Mubai's gaze remained fixed on Ning Rongrong, while Han Feng kept looking at Zhu Zhuqing!

boom!

"Holy crap! Kaede, what are you looking at!?"

"Hey, Old Man Bai! Keep your eyes to yourself!"

Just as the two were about to walk past, as if they had planned it beforehand, they tacitly threw a punch. The two fists collided in mid-air, and the powerful soul energy fluctuations turned into a strong wind that howled out, causing the stone bricks under their feet to crack!

But those who know Dai Mubai and Han Feng know that the two of them are just joking around.

Seeing the two of them making a fool of themselves, Ning Rongrong smiled awkwardly, stuck out her cute tongue, and looked somewhat helpless; while Zhu Zhuqing was more direct, rolling her eyes and snorting coldly, which made Dai Mubai tremble and quickly regain his usual handsome and serious appearance!

Zhu Zhuqing was also helpless. In the past six months, Dai Mubai had finally managed to resemble an imperial prince, but as soon as he met Han Feng, he immediately revealed his true colors!

"Ahem!" Dai Mubai withdrew his fist, straightened his clothes, and coughed.

Seeing this, Han Feng sneered disdainfully, but didn't continue fooling around with Dai Mubai. He simply asked, "Are you leaving the palace?"

"No, I came here especially to welcome you! How about it? Touched?" Dai Mubai blinked and smiled.

Han Feng completely ignored the question and instead asked, "How did you know we were coming back?"

"Haha!" Dai Mubai laughed smugly, pointing to the token Han Feng hadn't yet taken out, and teased, "I am the Star Luo Prince. How could I not know you entered the city with my token!?"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng gave a forced, insincere smile.

"Don't stare like that! Let me tell you, I, the Prince, now command all the Imperial Guards of Xingluo City! Everything in the city, big or small, is under my control! How about that? Impressive, isn't it!?" Dai Mubai familiarly put his arm around Han Feng's neck and laughed loudly.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing helplessly brushed her face with her hand, gave a bitter smile, and thought to herself, "I knew it would turn out like this!"

However, Zhu Zhuqing did not remind Dai Mubai this time. In the past six months, Dai Mubai has worked hard to regain his rightful position and even suppressed Davis to the point of being unable to raise his head. Zhu Zhuqing has seen all his efforts. Today, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong have finally come to Xingluo City. It would be good for friends to reunite and relax for a while!

"Zhu Qing... I'm sorry! You know, Han Feng and Boss Dai are always like this..." Noticing the change in Zhu Zhu Qing's expression, Ning Rongrong smiled ingratiatingly and said with a hint of helplessness.

Hearing Ning Rongrong's voice, Zhu Zhuqing smiled and said, "You silly girl! How could I not know all this? I'm not angry. Let's ignore them and let them fool around. I'll take you somewhere fun!"

With that, Zhu Zhuqing pulled Ning Rongrong away.

"But I want to wash up first!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.

"It's alright! It'll be the same when we get back!" Zhu Zhuqing insisted. While Dai Mubai and Han Feng were fooling around, Zhu Zhuqing herself was overjoyed to see Ning Rongrong.

Anyway, it's all about relaxation. Boys can play boys' games, and girls can play girls' games!

Watching Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing leave, Dai Mubai grinned mischievously and said, "Don't worry! Zhuqing just took Rongrong to see the garden. Zhuqing likes that garden and has always wanted Rongrong and Xiaowu to see it, but unfortunately Xiaowu didn't come!"

Han Feng rolled his eyes and didn't answer.

Dai Mubai didn't mind. After glancing at Han Feng, he said, "Alright! Rongrong and Zhuqing are gone too. You don't come here without a reason. So, tell me, why did you suddenly decide to come here to freeload? Don't tell me you and Rongrong are on your honeymoon!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng gave a half-dead sneer and, without hiding anything from Dai Mubai, told him what had happened in Tiandou City.

After listening, Dai Mubai clicked his tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "Heavenly Dou City is actually this chaotic? But don't worry, now that we're in Star Luo City, no one can harm Rongrong in the slightest!"

Dai Mubai's words were not empty talk. Although there may be no Title Douluo in Xingluo City, in reality, almost everyone in Xingluo City is a soldier. There are countless Soul Douluo with profound foundations, and they also have powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skills to back them up. If you don't have the strength of a Peerless Douluo, it is just wishful thinking to make a scene in Xingluo City and get away unscathed!

Han Feng nodded in agreement, then said, "Don't just talk about us, you're quite the impressive prince! But that Tok seems to still have designs on you, aren't you going to teach him a lesson?"

"Hmph!" Dai Mubai sneered, his heterochromatic eyes flashing with disdain. "A living Tok is more valuable than a dead Tok! With him around, I have even more reason to suppress my good brother!"

Han Feng understood. It was precisely because Tok harbored ill intentions that Dai Mubai wanted to keep him alive. Otherwise, since all of Davis's men were without desires, Dai Mubai would have a harder time taking action against them!

"Let's not talk about that now! I've been itching to practice lately, come on, let's have a go!" Dai Mubai clearly didn't want to discuss such dark matters with Han Feng, so he laughed heartily and pulled Han Feng toward the training ground.

Han Feng naturally agreed. In the past ten months, due to the Divine Trial and Yuexuan, Han Feng had hardly fought anyone in soul battles. After completing the second and third trials and obtaining the Divine Soul Ring and Divine Soul Bone, Han Feng was even more unsure of his own strength limit. He also urgently needed a reference!

Meanwhile, Tok, who had been kicked out of the palace, did not leave. Instead, he returned to the palace through another gate and knelt before Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

"You mean, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong entered the palace?" Davis looked at Tok in front of him, his brows furrowed deeply, and asked solemnly.

Tok nodded and quickly said, "Your Highness, I would not dare to deceive you!"

Seeing Davis deep in thought, Tok quickly said, "Your Highness! This is your chance to turn the tide!"

"What do you mean?" Davis narrowed his eyes and asked, his expression unreadable.

Tok took a deep breath, recalling the humiliation he suffered at the palace gates, a chilling resentment rising in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, think about it. Han Feng and Ning Rongrong represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If the court officials find out that the Second Prince is even acquainted with the young sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they will surely side with the Second Prince. At that time, Your Highness will truly have no chance of winning!"

"On the contrary, if Your Highness can sow discord between the Second Prince and Han Feng, causing them to both suffer heavy losses, it will not only damage the Second Prince's prestige built up over the past year, but also curb his growth, preparing for the decisive battle a year from now!"

Today, from nobles and court officials to ordinary people, no one in the Star Luo Empire believes that Davis will be Dai Mubai's opponent a year from now!

Davis is six years older than Dai Mubai, but Dai Mubai broke through to Soul King a month faster than Davis. As the gap widens in the future, it is clear to everyone that Davis will inevitably lose!

Davis himself was aware of this, so when Tok finished speaking, Davis's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "You have a way?"

Upon hearing this, Tok was overjoyed and quickly explained his plan.

Roar!

But to everyone's surprise, as soon as Tok finished speaking, Davis's expression changed drastically. In a fit of rage, he let out a deafening roar and unleashed his soul power, crushing towards Tok!

Although Tok was a Soul Saint, he didn't dare to resist at all and was directly sent flying by Davis!

"Tok! Are you looking for death?!" Davis's anger remained undiminished. He disregarded Tok's Soul Saint cultivation level, grabbed Tok's collar, and shouted coldly with murderous intent.

"Your Highness! Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Time waits for no one. If we miss this opportunity, we may never have a chance to turn things around!" Tok quickly explained.

A strange light flashed in Davis's eyes, clearly indicating that he was wavering.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun, who had remained silent until now, gritted her teeth, glared at Tok with disgust, and then struggled to say in a low voice to Davis, "Wess! As long as you can inherit the throne, I am willing to sacrifice myself for you!"

Upon hearing this, the murderous intent in Davis's eyes vanished. He stared blankly at Zhu Zhuyun for a moment, then, as if making a vow, said, word by word, "Zhuyun! If this succeeds, you will be the only Empress of Xingluo!"
