Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin walked out of the Tiandou Palace side by side.
There was confusion between Chen Xin's brows.
The scene just now is still lingering in my mind.
Xue Yunlan actually promised in person that all the benefits gained by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the process of competing for the 100,000-year soul beast would not have to be shared with the Tiandou Empire.
This operation is puzzling.
Previously, the empress pressed forward step by step and spoke with sharp words. Wasn't it just to gain more benefits for the Tiandou Empire?
The situation had clearly turned to the side of the Tiandou Empire, and Ning Fengzhi had almost no way to retreat under her oppression.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was even prepared to have its flesh cut off.
But in the end... she actually gave up?
"Feng Zhi, what do you think about this matter..."
Chen Xin just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Ning Fengzhi's low voice:
"Uncle Jian, if we really get a hundred thousand year soul bone, we will take a few ten thousand year soul bones from the sect's treasury and present them to the Tiandou Empire."
Chen Xin was startled and asked with a puzzled look:
"Why?"
"Didn't the Empress say that we don't need to share the profits we gain with the Tiandou Empire?"
Ning Fengzhi slowly turned around and looked towards the towering palace.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone calm but firm:
"Uncle Jian, you only need to understand one thing."
"The Tiandou Empire is about to rise."
Until this moment,
Ning Fengzhi finally saw clearly:
What Xue Yunlan had always wanted was not a hundred thousand year old soul bone.
But it was the submission of the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
She had the upper hand in the confrontation, pushing him into a corner, but let go lightly at the last moment.
This is a silent declaration:
In front of me, you have nothing to fear.
I can give it to you, and I can also take it back.
Put away those unnecessary thoughts.
What you should do is to serve the Tiandou Empire honestly.
It is also the way for your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to survive and protect itself.
As for why Ning Fengzhi still wanted to offer his soul bone?
It was because from the moment this empress ascended the throne, it was destined that Tiandou would usher in a new era.
If the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wants to continue to be the empire's "partner", it must take advantage of this opportunity.
To show submission by making offerings.
At least on the surface, the Tiandou Empire will still give the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect its due status.
If the Tiandou Empire really rises,
Then their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would naturally also enjoy great glory.
Ning Fengzhi planned his whole life and never did anything without preparation.
But this time,
He took a gamble.
Let's bet that Empress Yunlan can lead the Tiandou Empire to a comeback.
——————
After returning to the bedroom, Xue Qinghe immediately locked the doors and windows.
Her heart was in turmoil.
Unexpectedly, the apprentice senior was actually the swordsman Chen Xun who defeated her grandfather.
If so,
In the battle in the Star Dou Great Forest a month later, wouldn't his grandfather be giving Chen Xun a head if he went there?
"no!"
"We must inform Grandfather of Chen Xun's situation and ask him to bring a few more priests with him."
Qian Renxue was just about to write a letter.
Suddenly,
The Wanfajing on the table rang.
On the other side, the empress's bedroom.
Xue Yunlan entered text in the dialogue box and sent it out.
[Wutong Luoxue]: @All members, have you heard? It seems the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will also be heading to the Star Dou Great Forest in a month to compete for that 100,000-year-old soul beast.
[Never stop here]:???
[I Won't Stop Here]: How did the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect know about this? Could it be that any of you Daoists are from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
Tang Chen, who was in the Haotian Sect, was stunned when he saw the message sent by Xue Yunlan.
The identity of Fellow Daoist Poison God is almost certain, he is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Then the only things left are [It's snow, but not snow], [Snow falling on the parasol tree], and [An apprentice who yearns for the way of the sword].
Whether it is Xue or not, it can be confirmed that she is from the Tiandou Empire. The Tiandou Empire and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect have always had a good relationship, and it cannot be completely ruled out that she has two identities.
Wutong Luoxue was the one who proposed this message.
There's a high probability that she's not from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that she's deliberately leaking false information to fool people.
As for the apprentice fellow Daoist...
For some reason, Tang Chen always felt that he was the most suspicious.
Chen Xin, the swordsman of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, is the one who wields the sword.
only,
He vaguely remembered that his fellow apprentice once said that he had been defeated by him.
Chen Xin's generation is obviously wrong...
etc!
Tang Chen's expression suddenly changed!
"Apprentice Daoist fellow... could it be the swordsman Chen Xun?!"
He has the right strength and age, and has fought with Tang Chen before.
No wonder Chen Xun threatened to challenge him to a duel.
After all, he had just defeated Qian Daoliu and was already strong enough to compete with him.
However, Tang Chen did not make a high judgment.
What if this fellow Daoist Luoxue deliberately spread rumors?
In fact, there is no one from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the chat group?
Besides, doesn't that old guy Qian Daoliu also yearn for the way of the sword?
It's possible that this fellow apprentice is actually the old fox Qian Daoliu.
He's of the right age and seniority, and was once defeated by Tang Chen.
Let's wait and see what happens.
[Target Not Just the Poison God]: Really? Are there people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in our group?
Dugu Bo frowned when he saw this message.
If there really is someone from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect,
Who could that be?
Dust heart?
Or...Chen Xun?
When Chen Xun saw the message from Xue Yunlan, he was stunned for a moment.
"How did Fellow Daoist Luoxue know this information?"
"Didn't I only tell Xin'er and the other three?"
"They shouldn't leak the information, right?"
Chen Xun was confused at the moment.
He started typing in the dialogue box in disbelief.
[A Disciple Aspiring to the Path of the Sword]: Fellow Daoist Luoxue, how did you learn this information? If the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect were going to compete for the 100,000-year soul beast, wouldn't they have leaked this information?
[The target is not just the Poison God]: This makes sense. Ning Fengzhi is not someone who would be so careless in doing things.
[So handsome that he got chopped off]: (silently eating melon)
[A student who yearns for the way of the sword]: Huh? Has the senior come back to life?
[The target is not just the Poison God]: @Shuai to the point of being hacked, it's been a long time since I last saw you, Taoist friend. How are you these days? (Bow fist)
[I won't stop here]: @So handsome that I got hacked, long time no see, fellow Taoist (fist bow)
[Too handsome to be hacked]: Haha, don't mind me, you guys continue, I'm just here to eat melons (eat melons)
Inside the bookstore,
Chen Luo couldn't help but eat melons as he watched this suspenseful crime-solving drama.
About identity matters,
No one in the chat group ever mentioned it.
No one wants to use their real name to go online.
Now that Xue Yunlan had said this, the health chat group instantly turned into a suspense drama.
In the Empress's bedroom,
Xue Yunlan frowned and stared at the ID on the screen.
[Too handsome to be chopped]
Who is this person?
She saw this person sending a message again.
But judging from the attitudes of other group members towards him, he seems to be a hidden master?
Xue Yunlan was very surprised by Chen Luo's sudden appearance, but this did not hinder her plan.
Facing Chen Xun's questioning, Xue Yunlan raised the corners of his lips slightly.
[Snow Falling on the Wutong Tree]: I got this information from the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, but I don't know whether it's true or not.
As soon as this message came out,
Qian Renxue, who was watching the show silently behind the screen, could no longer hold back.
Qian Renxue: ???
Have I told anyone?
