Nan Feng spread his hands, analyzing as if he were lecturing a primary school student:
"At that time, beset by internal and external troubles, Tian Dou will surely perish. The army of the Star Luo Empire will march straight in and swallow up Tian Dou."
What's in it for me?
"Did I go to all this trouble just to help Xingluo gain the world?"
"Furthermore, once Star Luo truly destroys Heaven Dou and establishes a unified and powerful empire, do you think that new empire would allow an organization like the Spirit Hall, which possesses independent armed forces and even surpasses imperial power, to continue to exist?"
"That's obviously impossible, isn't it?"
Nan Feng chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "Besides, I'm not that despicable."
"But it's your Haotian Sect..."
"You've always been quite close to the Star Luo royal family, haven't you? Everyone knows what you're up to."
"Isn't it just because the Star Luo Empire is stronger and its people are more fierce that they think they have a greater chance of winning the world in the future, so they're thinking of choosing sides in advance and betting on both sides?"
"If a war really breaks out between the two great empires in the future, I think your Haotian Sect will probably turn around and help the Xingluo Empire to charge into battle and make a name for itself, right?"
Chapter 120 This is the Pope's order
……
Seeing Tang Yuehua's increasingly unpleasant expression, Nan Feng's mockery deepened:
"I really don't understand."
“Although I am a ruthless person who will stop at nothing, at least I keep my word and do what I say. Whatever my purpose may be, in the past three years, I promised to protect the Haotian Sect, didn’t I do that? I promised to exonerate you, didn’t I do that?”
"But why..."
Nan Feng stood up, walked up to Tang Yuehua, and looked down at her:
"Why do you guys, who spout benevolence and morality but are actually two-faced and say one thing and do another, think you're more noble than me?"
"How dare you stand on your moral high ground and criticize me?"
"How dare you look at me like that, like I'm looking at a devil?"
Nan Feng reached out and gently patted Tang Yuehua's stiff cheek, his voice utterly contemptuous:
"What's this?"
"A whore laughing at a prostitute?"
"Prostitution is often driven by the necessities of life; people are forced to do it in order to make a living. People despise them, but they should also pity their helplessness."
Nan Feng's voice was soft, yet every word pierced the heart:
"But what kind of person wants to be a prostitute while also maintaining a virtuous image?"
"So that's just being born a masochist, right?"
He turned around and poured himself a cup of tea. "I am indeed a man who will stop at nothing. Call me despicable and vile, call me scheming and manipulative, I'll admit it all."
"But I am self-aware."
“I never deceive myself. I know exactly who I am and what I’m doing.”
"But what about you bunch of self-righteous bastards?"
"While engaging in speculative and double-dealing activities, they also claim to be doing it for the greater good of their sect and for the sake of all living beings."
Don't you guys feel disgusted with yourselves?
Tang Yuehua bit her lip tightly, unable to refute.
Because the Haotian Sect... is indeed making preparations for both possibilities.
Although my elder brother is an elder over there, it doesn't prevent the sect from secretly contacting the Star Luo Empire. This is the law of survival in chaotic times, and the sect's interests come first.
But when Nan Feng so bluntly exposed it, this "wisdom of survival" instantly turned into a disgusting act of "two-facedness".
Seeing that Tang Yuehua remained silent, Nan Feng also felt bored and casually tossed the unfinished teacup back onto the table.
"Alright, I'm too lazy to discuss moral philosophy with you guys."
Nan Feng turned around, his gaze passing over Tang Yuehua, and looked out the window at the bustling Tiandou City. His tone returned to its initial indifference and domineering:
"Summon Xueye to Yuexuan."
"No matter what reason you use, whether it's listening to music, sipping tea, or even just saying you miss him, it's fine."
Nan Feng held up three fingers and waved them in front of Tang Yuehua:
"Three days."
"I want to see Yukiya in this room within three days."
Tang Yuehua looked up abruptly, about to say something, but was silenced by Nan Feng's cold, heterochromatic eyes.
"I understand, Lady Yue."
"This is not a discussion with you, nor is it a request."
"This is an order."
"It's an order from the Pope of the Spirit Hall to his subordinate sects."
The moment the words fell.
"Om-"
The purplish-black light flashed again, and the suffocating pressure from the adult instantly dissipated.
The light faded, and standing in front of Tang Yuehua was once again the delicate, six-year-old little girl in a black trench coat.
Xiao Nanfeng, hands in his pockets, wore a mischievous smile that seemed out of place on his youthful face, and waved to Tang Yuehua, who was still in a daze.
"Goodbye."
……
After leaving Yuexuan, Nanfeng strolled leisurely towards the Tiandou Royal Academy outside the city.
Although the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest was a good place, he didn't plan to plunge into that primeval forest to play a "treasure hunt".
Sunset Forest is so vast, with complex terrain and miasma everywhere. Who knows where Dugu Bo hid that herb garden?
Instead of wasting time and effort searching for a needle in a haystack, it's better to just let that old poisoner obediently come to us.
To control Dugu Bo, besides the poison in his body, the best weakness is naturally his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo's son, who died young, had been living in the Tiandou Empire for several years and even held a minor noble title. Therefore, Dugu Bo's family had always lived in Tiandou City.
Dugu Bo is currently in seclusion, diligently cultivating to break through to the level 90 Title Douluo, but his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is genuinely studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
If you catch the young one, you won't have to worry about the older ones not showing up.
……
The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is nestled amidst mountains and water, boasting beautiful scenery.
As the highest-ranking Soul Master Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, its access control is naturally very strict. But Nan Feng's current appearance—a delicate, exquisitely beautiful little girl who clearly comes from a top-tier noble family—is practically a pass that allows her to pass without any obstacles.
The guards at the gate assumed he was a lost child from the household of some nobleman and didn't dare to stop him.
Upon entering the academy, Nan Feng randomly grabbed a passing student and asked, quickly learning where Dugu Yan was.
After all, she is the granddaughter of a Soul Douluo powerhouse and the inheritor of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. Dugu Yan is definitely a prominent figure at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and it would be difficult for her not to attract attention.
It was afternoon, the college's free time.
In the small square in the center of the academy, a group of elegantly dressed young students were gathered in a circle, surrounding a little girl in a dark green school uniform like a star surrounded by a moon.
The girl was about nine years old. Although she hadn't fully grown up yet, it was already clear that she was a beauty in the making. She had short, deep purple hair and unusual emerald green eyes. She exuded an innate pride and wildness.
It was Dugu Yan.
"Sister Yan Yan, I heard your grandfather is about to break through to the Title Douluo level? Is it true?"
"Of course! If Sister Yanyan's talent is this strong, Senior Dugu must be even more amazing!"
A group of sycophants, several years older than her, were enthusiastically praising her. Although Dugu Yan's face was tense and she pretended not to care, she couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes and brows.
Just then.
An untimely, childish voice suddenly broke in, shattering the harmonious atmosphere of flattery.
"Hey."
Everyone was taken aback and turned to look.
A little girl, dressed in a black trench coat, who looked no more than six years old and resembled a delicate porcelain doll, walked over with her hands in her pockets and stopped directly in front of Dugu Yan.
Nan Feng raised his head, his purple eyes scanning Dugu Yan up and down.
"Was your grandfather named Dugu Bo?"
Dugu Yan was stunned.
She looked at the little girl in front of her, who was even smaller than herself but had an air of maturity beyond her years, and subconsciously frowned:
"who are you?"
Who I am is not important.
Nan Feng shrugged. "The important thing is that I need to talk to Dugu Bo about something, but I'm too lazy to make the trip, so I'm planning to borrow you for a bit."
"Can I borrow it?"
Dugu Yan was amused and annoyed by these nonsensical words. She was used to being domineering in the academy and had never seen a brat dare to talk to her like that before.
She crossed her arms, striking a bossy pose, and looked down at Nan Feng:
"Little sister, judging from your appearance, you're probably not a student at our academy, are you? This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, not a place where you can run wild. Before I lose my temper, hurry home and go find your mother to nurse!"
"Oh?"
Nan Feng raised an eyebrow. "Not much skill, but quite a temper."
Before he could finish speaking...
Before anyone around could react, Nan Feng suddenly moved!
