"What's going on? This child usually follows the rules." Old Chen frowned as he looked at the quiet scene outside the gate.

"Tap tap tap."

Suddenly, the sound of hurried running came from the other side of the artificial stream, and a little boy about nine years old came hurriedly.

When he saw him, Mr. Chen's face suddenly became serious.

"It's over, Grandpa Chen is waiting for me." When Dai Luoli came to the arched bridge, he noticed that Grandpa Chen was standing at the door. He immediately showed a trace of timidity. It seemed that he would be punished by being spanked on the palm.

Dear book lovers, today is the first round of recommendation PK. I am here to ask for a wave of follow-up reading and recommendation votes. Thank you all!

Chapter 15 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish (please read later)

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Chen, I'm late." Dai Luoli walked up to Old Chen obediently, lowered his head, and was somewhat afraid to look at people.

"You have never been late before. This is the first time. Grandpa Chen will give you a chance to explain." Although Grandpa Chen's expression was serious, he was actually pretending.

Dai Luoli's face flushed. "I just went to watch the fun, but then I realized I was late."

"Watch the excitement?" Old Chen was stunned. What excitement could there be in such a huge Duke's Mansion so early in the morning?

Dai Luoli quickly explained, "Grandpa Chen, I heard from some people that someone from the Duke of Lingmao's Mansion seemed to have come. Then I waited for a while out of curiosity and found that a very beautiful girl had come. The girl seemed to be of a high status, and a group of people surrounded her."

"The Duke of Lingmao's Mansion?" Old Chen seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. "Come in, I will spare you today."

"Thank you, Grandpa Chen." Dai Luoli became excited when he learned that he would not be beaten.

When the two returned to the living room, Huo Yuhao saw Dai Luoli again. But what made Huo Yuhao even more curious was that he noticed the thoughtful look on Old Chen's face, and thought that there was probably something going on.

"You are the person from last night." Dai Luoli quickly noticed that there was another person in the living room and stared at Huo Yuhao with wide eyes.

"He is one year older than you, you can call him brother." Old Chen noticed that Huo Yuhao was observing him. He quickly recovered his composure and said, touching Dai Luoli's head.

"elder brother?"

Dai Luoli's face stiffened and his eyes instantly became colder, as if the word "brother" was something he hated extremely.

Huo Yuhao secretly shook his head in his heart. It wasn’t just Huo Yun’er who was bullied by the Duchess, but also Dai Luoli’s mother. Of course, it wasn’t that serious. After all, Dai Luoli’s mother was a person of real status, and Dai Luoli had obviously come into contact with Dai Huabin too many times since he was a child. No wonder he hated his brother so much.

"Luo Li, go to the martial arts arena to warm up first, and Grandpa Chen will come over later." Old Chen obviously noticed that something was wrong with Dai Luo Li, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Yes." Dai Luoli looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression, then turned and left.

"This kid is just like you. He was bullied by that brat Dai Huabin before." After Dai Luoli left, Old Chen stroked his beard and said.

Huo Yuhao nodded calmly. He raised his head and looked at Elder Chen, asking, “Elder Chen, I saw you frowned just now. Did you run into any trouble?”

"You are quite observant." Elder Chen shook his head. "To be precise, this is a troublesome matter for the Duke's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately felt a little curious, but he did not ask too many questions. Instead, he stopped asking at the right time.

But Elder Chen didn't care about these things, and said casually, "Just now, the Lingmao Duke's Mansion sent someone over. In the history of our Xingluo Empire, the White Tiger Family and the Lingmao Family have always been intermarried, and the relationship between the two sides is very friendly. If I'm not mistaken, Dai Huabin should have merged with the martial spirit of a member of the Zhu family."

"According to past practice, the Zhu family's clansmen will be sent to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for training for a period of time. The main purpose is to allow the clansmen of the two families to live together, increase their feelings, and lay a good foundation for the future fusion of martial spirits and the development of fusion skills."

After hearing this, Huo Yuhao instantly understood. In the original novel, wasn’t it Zhu Lu who had the soul fusion skill with Dai Huabin?

No wonder Zhu Lu always followed Dai Huabin when they were in Shrek Academy. It turned out that she was sent to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion at that time to cultivate feelings.

"The reason why it is troublesome is that the marriage between the two families will cause the other party's people to be wary." Old Chen sighed.

"The royal family?" Huo Yuhao asked subconsciously.

Elder Chen raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise. "That's right. But you must remember not to talk about these things outside."

Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully, but a special seed was planted in his heart: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Old Chen twirled his beard and said, "Alright, get ready and go to the martial arts arena. Although I don't have much to teach you, I can still lay a good foundation for your future training."

"Yes." Huo Yuhao responded respectfully, then followed Dai Luoli and left.

Suddenly, only Old Chen was left in the huge living room. He looked at the clear sky outside the window, shook his head and sighed, "The royal family is becoming increasingly weak and is no longer as powerful as it was in its heyday. The two great dukedoms, one controls a large number of troops and the other controls money. If the royal family and the dukedoms fight secretly, the only one who will benefit will be the Sun-Moon Empire."

……

Star Luo Palace.

"After a hundred years, the two great duke houses have a pair of clansmen who can fuse their martial spirits. The timing of their arrival is just right."

Behind a huge dragon-shaped desk sat a handsome young man, who was the Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei who had officially ascended the throne a year ago. But when he said this, there was no emotion on his face, and his deep eyes concealed his inner thoughts.

"Brother, the two dukedoms are showing signs of merging again. They are already powerful, and the nobles clinging to them are countless. This is not a good thing for us. Now our royal family's prestige is weakening, and there is a lack of talented people within the family. The nobles within the empire are ready to make a move, and the crisis is not far away. We must take strong measures to suppress some of the people who want to stand out."

"Otherwise, by the time the Sun-Moon Empire is free, it will be too late."

Opposite Xu Jiawei sat a young girl with long golden hair. She had an extremely beautiful face. Although she was only a little over sixteen years old, one could already foresee her stunning beauty in a few years. She was the eldest daughter of the late emperor, the imperial princess, Xu Jiujiu.

But when she was speaking, Xu Jiujiu's face couldn't help showing some worry. She was still young and couldn't hide many of her emotions.

On the other hand, Xu Jiawei showed a smile on his face. "You have to know when to use your powerful punches. I just ascended the throne, so it's not appropriate for me to use these."

"But if you, my royal brother, don't take any action, these people will become more unscrupulous and rampant." Xu Jiujiu frowned.

"That's why I attach so much importance to the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition." Xu Jiawei said with hidden meaning.

Xu Jiujiu's eyes moved slightly, "Brother, are you planning to..."

Xu Jiawei said in a deep voice: "If you want to suppress the nobles, divide the power of the White Tiger Duke, strengthen centralization, and promote soul guides, the competition is the most appropriate time."

Xu Jiujiu wanted to continue asking, but suddenly stopped. Obviously, she suddenly understood something. If she could think of it, how could her royal brother not think of it?

Xu Jiawei stood up, stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the Douluo Continent map hanging on the wall behind him, his eyes were sharp, "Fishermen on the sea all understand that before the storm comes, the sea is calmer, but correspondingly, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish."

"Then let's take advantage of this storm to clear out a batch of expensive fish."

Dear book lovers, today is the first round of recommendation PK. I am here to ask for a wave of follow-up reading and recommendation votes. Thank you all!

Chapter 16: The Cowardly Haotian Sect

Chapter 16: Coward - Haotian Sect

She stared at Xu Jiawei's back in silence for a long time, and she finally understood what her brother was thinking.

Today, the empire seems stable, but in fact it is like a shaky old house that may collapse at any time.

The Duke of White Tiger controls the extremely powerful Northwest Army Group, where the emperor's edicts are not as effective as the words of the Duke of White Tiger.

The people of the Duke of Lingmao's Mansion are also very smart. If there is no one among their clansmen who can perform martial soul fusion techniques with the people of the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion, they will not get too close to the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion. But once such a person appears, they will immediately stick to them and do their best to get close to them.

Although the Nether White Tiger's martial soul fusion technique is powerful, it is not enough to make them so fearful. What really makes the royal family fearful is the significance of this martial soul fusion technique. It is like a glue that sticks the two largest aristocratic groups in the empire together.

Maybe the White Tiger Family has no idea of ​​rebellion, but that doesn't mean the Spirit Cat Family has no idea of ​​rebellion. The Nether Spirit Cat doesn't have a very powerful martial spirit, at most it's just a high-level martial spirit. The reason they have been able to exist for ten thousand years is because of the White Tiger Family. As long as the White Tiger Family is stronger, the better they will live.

So what is the best way for the White Tiger Family?

Don’t forget, the former master of the Xing Luo Empire was named Dai.

The nobles who share the same idea as the Lingmao family also hope that the Dai family will return to the throne. In fact, the conflict between them and the royal family has existed for four thousand years. After all, the Xingluo Empire is the only empire among the four major empires on the entire continent where the nobles have no fiefdoms.

Even the Dai royal family, who treated the nobles equally harshly, did not have such a choice.

"I'll take care of this matter, you don't have to think too much." Xu Jiawei turned around and interrupted Xu Jiujiu's contemplation. He looked at Xu Jiujiu and asked, "Did the group of people from Shrek Academy go to Sea Breeze City?"

Xu Jiujiu nodded and said, "Sea Wind City is connected to the sea area of ​​the Sun Moon Empire. There are many islands there, and a large number of pirates have bred there. The people from the Shrek Academy Supervisory Group are going there to wipe out a group of pirates who like to come to the land to burn, kill and plunder."

"The pirate problem is too thorny. The people from Shrek Academy are willing to help, which relieves the pressure here." Although Xu Jiawei did not like Shrek Academy interfering in the affairs of imperial officials, he still highly appreciated Shrek Academy's efforts to suppress bandits everywhere.

"But pirates are like leeks. When we wipe out one batch, the next batch will come immediately. Once the Shrek Academy Supervisory Group leaves, they will all pop up again. Now it's just a relief." Xu Jiujiu said in a serious tone, "I propose to build a navy in Sea Breeze City to prevent pirates. At the same time, we can take this opportunity to train a group of powerful navy. In the future, if we go to war with the Sun Moon Empire and it's difficult to fight on land, we can still go to the sea."

"Of course I have thought about what you said, but have you ever thought about why there are so many pirates?" Xu Jiawei had a complicated expression.

"Why?" Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment.

Xu Jiawei sighed and said, "I can tell you very clearly that among these pirates, at least 60% of them are created by the Sea Soul King of the Sun-Moon Empire. The Sun-Moon Empire is very aware of the importance of the ocean. Once we establish a navy, I am afraid that the rampant pirates will increase many times. By then, all the major cities along the coastline will suffer."

"At the same time, the chances of our ships trading with the Sun and Moon Empire being attacked will increase dramatically."

"This is also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties did not establish a navy, but only established coastal defense forces in major cities along the coastline. It's not that we don't want to do it, but we are really powerless."

Xu Jiujiu stood there in a daze. She had only been involved in national affairs for a year and was still unclear about many things. After Xu Jiawei's explanation, she understood everything.

Xu Jiawei said in a deep voice: "The importance of the sea is not only known to us, but also to the Sun-Moon Empire. However, no one has the ability to build warships for ocean voyages, so we are almost evenly matched at the moment. However, the Sun-Moon Empire is the empire with the strongest soul guide technology, and I am afraid that the gap between us will become larger and larger in the future."

"To be honest, in a sense, if there weren't so many powerful sea soul beasts in the ocean, the Sun-Moon Empire might have already developed ocean-going warships. I have been promoting soul guides not only because they represent the future of our soul masters, but more importantly, four thousand years ago, the strongest soul guides could barely threaten ordinary Title Douluo. What about today, four thousand years later?"

"I'm afraid that even a Super Douluo can be killed. The times are changing. Who knows if the restrictions on the sea will be broken by us humans one day. By then, it also means that the powerful soul masters that we, the three countries of the original Douluo Continent, are proud of will no longer have an advantage. Internal and external troubles can no longer be underestimated."

"The Douling Imperial Family is incompetent and the entire empire is like a dry, dead tree. Although the Tianhun Imperial Family also has the ambition to make progress, the tide of the times has left them behind. No matter how hard they try to catch up, they can only see the tail of the times. They can see it but cannot touch it."

"As for our Xingluo Empire..." After saying this, Xu Jiawei fell silent for a rare time. He didn't want to tell Xu Jiujiu that he had had nightmares about the empire's demise several times.

Xu Jiujiu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out. She knew what her family's situation was like.

"Although it's helpless, we still have enough time to make some arrangements in advance." The silence on Xu Jiawei's face disappeared, and turned into a faint smile. "Jiujiu, you are still responsible for leading the Star Guards to monitor the nobles. When the day of the competition comes, we will settle the accounts together."

"I understand." Xu Jiujiu nodded solemnly.

"But it's not just us who are anxious, they are too." Xu Jiawei turned around again and looked at a huge city on the map that was adjacent to the Star Forest.

Xu Jiujiu obviously knew who Xu Jiawei was talking about. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Huang, if a war breaks out on the continent again, will those hidden sects come out?"

"Some will, some won't." Xu Jiawei said sarcastically, "I don't know about other sects, but the Haotian Sect, which has also existed for ten thousand years, definitely won't. They have been turtles for so long that their necks have degenerated inside their shells and can't be stretched out."

"puff."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help laughing.

Ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Hall was so powerful that the Haotian Sect was scared back to its home and dared not go out. In the end, it waited until the situation was favorable before coming out to fight.

You know, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, which are both among the top three sects, dared to compete with the Spirit Hall. You can say that they were trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm and overestimating their own capabilities, but they still went up. However, the Haotian Sect, as the strongest sect, actually retreated. It would have been fine if they couldn't win, but the key is that they were scared before the fight even started.

Of course, if you say that the Haotian Sect is hiding its strength to protect itself and wait for the right time to come out again, that's a matter of opinion.

Then there was the continental war four thousand years ago. The Haotian Sect closed its mountains in the early stage, and finally when Shrek Academy turned the tide, restored the situation and gained the upper hand, the talents of the Haotian Sect came together at the command, and... Of course, it was this situation that created the identity of Shrek Academy as the core of the continent.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Haotian Sect is so great, after all, it has produced a god.

But the Xu family is different. Ten thousand years ago, they were a powerful hidden sect recognized by the Spirit Hall, the Xingguan Sect. They have many historical materials that have not been modified.

"Then you go ahead and do your work, my royal brother. I'm going to go to my sister-in-law's place to see my little niece first." After laughing for a while, Xu Jiujiu said seriously.

"Ah."

Xu Jiawei nodded.

Xu Jiujiu turned around and left, and suddenly Xu Jiawei was the only one left in the huge palace.

Looking at the various things that needed to be dealt with on the Long Shu case, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

The new emperor had too many things to face and he was a little tired.

But when he began to deal with government affairs seriously, his eyes suddenly became serious, and his gaze moved down to the dragon desk, where there was a schedule with several large words on it.

"Plan for the Transformed Soul Beast - Signed by Xu Jiujiu"

Their Xingguan Sect has a secret that only they know, which is that they can use the power of the Xingguan Prayer by relying on hundreds of clansmen in their ancestral land.

The effect of this prayer power is very simple. At night, the stars will randomly guide them to find good opportunities.

This opportunity might be to find a soul bone, a valuable medicinal herb, or it might be to help them find the coordinates of a soul beast that can rebuild into a human being.

This ability looks extremely exaggerated, but it is actually useless. Many opportunities for guidance are not that easy to get.

For example, soul bones. It is possible that these soul bones are in the deep sea. How do you find them?

Another example is extremely valuable medicinal materials. Wherever these things are, there are always dangerous places. The only way to succeed in the end is to find out the coordinates of the soul beast that is about to choose to rebuild into a human being.

However, in the past ten thousand years, this has only been successful once, four thousand years ago, and they obtained a hundred thousand year soul bone and a hundred thousand year soul ring.

It was at that time that they came out to help the empire defeat the invading Sun and Moon Empire.

As the times change, they have also developed new means to obtain this transformed soul beast.

But I don’t know if it will go smoothly.

Please read on and give me your recommendation votes.

There isn’t much plot about the Duke’s Mansion. After this one, it will be a long time before I write about the Duke’s Mansion again.

Another point is that regarding Huo Yuhao’s hatred, I agree with everyone else.

Kill those who deserve to be killed, and never let a single one go!
