“Maybe the people inside are used to it.”
"They are both imperial capitals. The Xingluo Empire's imperial capital is far inferior to ours."
Finally, the carriage stopped outside the Xinghuang Hotel. After a group of people stopped, an old man with a dignified look on his face walked in front. Next to him was another older man who was slightly younger, with a whisker, tall stature, and short white hair like steel needles.
The two were none other than the team leaders of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Pan Tianxing and Ma Mingzhu.
Behind the two of them were fourteen students.
Under the guidance of the staff, a group of people entered the hotel and checked in. When they learned that they were from the Sun-Moon Empire, the hotel staff's eyes changed a little.
It was a look of displeasure. After all, the Sun-Moon Empire had been causing trouble on the border time and again, and the Star Luo Empire had been constantly publicizing the evil deeds of the Sun-Moon Empire, which would naturally affect the people.
No one paid attention to the expressions of these employees, but just as they were about to leave, a handsome young man smiled and asked one of the female front desk employees, "Excuse me, have we arrived at Shrek Academy?"
Although the female employee was unhappy, she still politely replied, "I've already checked in."
"Thank you." The boy nodded with a smile.
When the others heard the words "Shrek Academy", their expressions changed slightly. The Soul Fighting Competition was not important. What was important was defeating Shrek, and this was also their greatest desire.
Entering the accommodation area on the sixth floor of the hotel through the elevator, Pan Tianxing casually said: "It's a long journey, and everyone must have worked hard all the way here. Go and rest early. If you need to go out, ask me for permission."
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
"There's a tea room here, let's use it as a meeting room. Come in and have a chat?"
Pan Tianxing looked at Ma Mingzhu, then turned his gaze to Ma Mingzhu's grandson Ma Rulong, the handsome young man and the girl beside him.
Several people did not refuse and came into the tea room together.
"Snapped."
Suddenly, the handsome young man looked at the tea room vigilantly, took out a metal card that could be stuck on the wall from his storage ring, and after sticking it on the wall, a gray light quickly spread out.
This is a sound-collecting soul guide. The light film it forms can block sounds within this range to prevent eavesdropping.
Seeing him like this, the others showed a hint of puzzlement in their eyes.
Pan Tianxing said with a little emotion: "The Xingluo Empire is really lucky. We found a seriously injured and dying sea soul beast on the beach. This time we came here, in addition to defeating Shrek Academy, we also want to bring this soul beast back."
"Mr. Pan, is it worth giving up so much soul guide technology for a hundred thousand year old sea soul beast?" Ma Rulong was a little confused.
"Of course it's worth it." Without waiting for Pan Tianxing to respond, the handsome young man with a tall and slender figure interrupted. His eyes were blue and his skin was as smooth as jade, better than many girls' skin.
"Xiao Hongchen, I'm asking about Mr. Pan, why are you interrupting here?" Ma Rulong glanced at the handsome young man and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Hongchen smiled and said, "My grandfather is the head of Mingde Hall. I know as much as you do. The soul guide technology we brought out for exchange this time is just some outdated existence, which is nothing."
Ma Rulong snorted. "It sounds nice. Even if it's outdated, it can still help the Xingluo Empire's soul guide technology avoid many years of detours. Isn't this aiding the enemy? If it weren't for..."
"Like a dragon." Suddenly, the old man with curly beard changed his expression and interrupted Ma Rulong's words.
Ma Rulong looked at Xiao Hongchen unwillingly and closed his mouth.
There was a hint of teasing in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.
Pan Tianxing seemed to have not experienced the previous debate. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, let alone giving the Xingluo Empire outdated soul guidance technology, even if they are given the latest technology, they will not be able to make any waves. The three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent are nothing but chickens and pottery dogs."
With Pan Tianxing in the middle, Ma Rulong and Xiao Hongchen's expressions returned to normal.
"Mingzhu, you stay in the hotel. I'll go and register and find out some news about Shrek Academy." Pan Tianxing looked at Ma Mingzhu.
"Okay." Ma Mingzhu nodded.
Ma Mingzhu called Ma Rulong and left the tea room with Pan Tianxing. In a blink of an eye, only Xiao Hongchen and the girl were left.
"Brother, grandpa has paid a lot this time, please don't let grandpa down." The girl's beautiful blue eyes looked at Xiao Hongchen. Her appearance was only slightly inferior to Jiang Nannan's. She had fair and delicate skin, and long wine-red hair, which was like mellow grape wine, sparkling with a faint luster.
She is Xiao Hongchen’s sister, Meng Hongchen.
When his younger sister spoke, the teasing in Xiao Hongchen's eyes completely disappeared, leaving only doting, "Don't worry, Grandpa took on so much pressure to reserve a 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone for me, I will never let him down."
Meng Hongchen smiled sweetly, but soon seemed to remember something and frowned slightly, "I don't know how strong this year's Shrek Academy is."
“No matter what, we’ll know after a match on the field.” Xiao Hongchen said calmly, “As long as there is no Soul Sage, our pressure will be reduced a lot. If we can defeat Shrek Academy, not only will our reputation be enhanced, but also Grandpa’s reputation will be honored, and our Hongchen family will be able to move to a higher level.”
There was a hint of anticipation and fighting spirit in Meng Hongchen's eyes. Their team this year was almost the strongest in history, and the chances of winning were not small.
Outside the tea room, Ma Rulong left with a very unhappy look on his face. He and Ma Mingzhu came to an empty balcony. Ma Rulong couldn't help but asked, "Grandpa, isn't the hall master afraid of doing this..." As he spoke, he made a gesture.
Ma Mingzhu shook his head and said with soul power: "Your Majesty is ill now, and the prince's party and the emperor's party are fighting to the death. As for the hall master, I only want to recruit him and will never take action against him. Besides, those outdated soul guide technology were developed by the hall master himself, which also saves a lot of people's gossip."
"Don't mention this matter anymore. Just focus on the competition and strive to make a breakthrough in your performance. I have already asked His Majesty the Starry Sky Douluo to accept you as his disciple as long as you win the championship."
Hearing this, Ma Rulong's eyes instantly showed a strong surprise. Who is Starry Sky Douluo? He is a royal worshiper, a ninth-level soul engineer. His ability to master the Sun and Moon Needles is well known in the empire. In terms of strength, even the current Red Dust Hall Master is a few points behind him.
If his teacher was Starry Sky Douluo, how could Xiao Hongchen, a mere man, rely on his background to suppress him?
"Pa." Ma Mingzhu patted Ma Rulong on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
……
No matter whether it was the heart-warming conversations at Shrek Academy or the mutual dislike at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, they were no match for the eerie atmosphere in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
In the huge White Tiger Hall, the members of the White Tiger Family sat together, but they sat there for more than twenty minutes without anyone speaking. It was truly puzzling.
Dai Yuheng, who did not return to the team, sat alone on one side, but his eyes kept looking at Zhu Yuhan, who had a faint smile on her pretty face, and did not seem to be very close to him.
"Third brother, tell me what we should do about this?" Finally, the Duchess spoke, covering her forehead with her hands as if she had a headache.
Zhu Changming glanced at Dai Yuheng, the corner of his mouth twitched. How come the clan member who could fuse martial spirits with that kid Hua Bin, you, Dai Yuheng, can also fuse them.
But there was one thing that made him excited. If Dai Huabin and Dai Yuheng could fuse their spirits with the girls in their family, then the future of their Zhu family would be more secure.
But the only problem is, there is only one girl right now, it's impossible for you two brothers to each have half, right?
"In my opinion, since we have already decided to marry Yu Han to Hua Bin, we can't go back on our word. As for Yu Heng, I will look for him within the family and try to find one for him as well."
Zhu Changming looked around and expressed his thoughts.
The Duchess and the second-generation elders of the White Tiger Family also mostly agreed with this idea, which was considered the best solution.
"Mother, Third Uncle, Grandpas, I have something to say."
Suddenly, Dai Yuheng stood up abruptly, his expression solemn, and said: "Although what I did is against my brother's principles, I still want to say that I fell in love with Yu Han at first sight, and I don't want to give up on her. I hope that my third uncle will help me. Besides, Yu Han hasn't officially signed a marriage contract with Hua Bin yet, so she is a free person."
"Dai Yueheng, what do you want to do?"
Just as Dai Yaoheng finished speaking and everyone in the room was stunned, an angry roar came from outside the hall.
Everyone looked and saw a young man who looked somewhat like Dai Yuheng, but slightly younger, running in angrily.
He came in front of Dai Yuheng like an angry tiger.
Damn it, I was given a grassland-colored hat not long ago, and I was so embarrassed. How long has it been? You want to put it on me again, and this time it was even put on by my own brother.
If he hadn't thought that they had the same mother, he would have wanted to curse out that national quintessence.
"Hua Bin, calm down." The Duchess frowned and said in a deep voice, "The elders are still here, who do you want to embarrass?"
Perhaps it was the deterrent power from his mother, Dai Huabin looked at Dai Yueheng and snorted coldly, but his eyes saw Zhu Yuhan, and he subconsciously compared her with Zhu Lu.
Although she is also a top beauty, Zhu Lu is slightly more beautiful. Dai Huabin couldn't help but see a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Zhu Yuhan frowned. She followed her parents to manage the family business, but she had seen many looks from people coming and going. How could she not notice the change in Dai Huabin's eyes just now?
It was a look of slight disappointment.
Is he disgusted with himself?
Zhu Yuhan's mind was full of surprise. She didn't dare to boast that she was a super beauty, but she was definitely one in eight hundred. What's more, she knew that she could no longer decide her marriage by herself, and she had already made up her mind to assist her future husband wholeheartedly after getting married.
But at this moment, Dai Huabin's disappointment made her angry. She even despised him and said, "I'm not going to get married yet."
Anyway, everyone knows that the Netherworld White Tiger today is more of a symbol of mutual help between the two families, and it is no longer as important as it was ten thousand years ago.
Zhu Changming looked unhappy on the surface, but he was actually very happy inside. He said in the tone of an elder: "Aren't you two ashamed of such a farce? Again, since Yu Han's fate has been decided, there is no need to change it. I will go back and look for another one for Yu Heng."
Dai Huabin breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhu Yuhan was unhappy.
She stood up suddenly, bowed to the elders, and then said, "I also have something to say."
Everyone looked at her.
The next moment, Zhu Yuhan spoke up, "I've fallen in love with Brother Yueheng, and I want to marry him."
Dai Huabin: “???”
Dai Yueheng's eyes suddenly widened.
He just said that he fell in love at first sight because he noticed that someone was eavesdropping outside the White Tiger Hall. He thought it was probably Dai Huabin and wanted to provoke him, so he said that he fell in love at first sight. He didn't expect that this girl would actually...
"boom."
At this moment, a terrifying spirit energy aura spread out, and Dai Hao's second uncle Dai Dianchen smashed the table with a slap, and said with a cold look, "This is the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the White Tiger Hall, not a place for you to have love affairs."
When the elder who was second only to Dai Qingnan spoke, everyone present shut up.
Especially the Duchess, as the mother of the two brothers, she is the most shameful.
"You don't feel ashamed, but I do. If this matter cannot be resolved, then we can cancel the marriage between the two families and resume it in the next generation."
Zhu Changming's expression changed and he wanted to say something.
But Dai Dianchen's sharp eyes happened to see it.
Zhu Changming's breathing tightened and he closed his mouth.
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, when everyone in the hall had different thoughts and the atmosphere was weird, the sound of passionate drums suddenly rang out in the Duke of White Tiger's mansion.
Zhu Yuhan might not understand it yet, but everyone else knows it.
This is the White Tiger Drum that is played only when the Duke of White Tiger returns home.
Dai Hao is back.
Dai Dianchen stood up and flicked his sleeves, "Dai Hao is back, let him handle the troublesome matters."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The other second-generation members of the White Tiger family did not stay and followed him away.
The Duchess glanced at her two sons and said coldly, "Come with me to the gate to greet your father."
"Yes." The two brothers didn't dare to say any more nonsense.
"Third brother, please take Yu Han with you." The Duchess looked at Zhu Changming again.
"Okay, let Dai Hao, the father, decide." Zhu Changming nodded and waved to Zhu Yuhan.
Take a day off
I feel unwell in my heart and panic. Taking leave will affect the mood and reading experience of book lovers, but my life is more important and I dare not continue. I am very sorry.
It's almost half past one, and I've only typed 240 words. I've been rubbing my heart at this moment, and I dare not breathe too hard because it feels too stuffy. I'm afraid that if I take a breath, I won't be able to come down.
Chapter 150: Father sees his son is still alive, draws out seven wolves
Armored cavalry guards were surrounding the carriage, and on the carriage, there was an extremely conspicuous white tiger emblem, symbolizing who the owner of the carriage was.
Looking at the warm scenery along the way, Dai Hao's eyes were deep. Not long ago, His Majesty specially ordered him to come back to participate in this year's Fighting Spirit Competition, but for some reason, he always had a feeling of uneasiness.
"Dong dong dong."
The exciting drumbeats continued and became louder and louder, reminding Dai Hao that he had arrived home.
He withdrew his gaze and temporarily suppressed the wandering thoughts in his mind.
Outside the main gate, dozens of guards stood in an orderly manner, and the white tiger flag fluttered in the wind.
"Master, we're here." A voice came from outside the carriage.
Dai Hao stood up and walked out of the carriage. As soon as he came out, he saw Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin and the Duchess. Beside the three of them, Zhu Changming and Zhu Yuhan were also there.
"Father." The Dai Yaoheng brothers hurried forward.
Dai Hao glanced at the two of them, nodded calmly, and then turned his gaze to Zhu Changming, "Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Haha." Zhu Changming laughed, "It's been a long time since we last met. The last time was about two years ago."
"Let's go in and talk." The Duchess looked at Dai Hao calmly. The problem now was to deal with the affairs of her two sons.
