Chapter 231 Bai Xiuxiu Arrives! Is Poseidon's Crime About to Be Exposed?
"Weiss, times have changed. Now, in front of the whole world, Chang'an would never do such a despicable thing! I want to stay and further my studies!"
Zhu Zhuyun's firm voice rang out, immediately enraging Davis.
"Zhu Zhuyun! What makes you so sure Chang'an won't?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun did not refute, but remained firm in her statement:
"I believe in Chang'an, and I believe in Lord Ye!"
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Ye Han, a hint of infatuation appearing in her eyes.
In her opinion, a man as perfect as Ye Han could never do such a thing.
"You! You!!"
Davis was trembling with rage, but he quickly noticed the hidden meaning in her eyes and felt as if he were being cuckolded. He roared:
"Zhu Zhuyun, I think your soul has clearly been bewitched by Ye Han!"
"If you insist on staying now, I'm afraid you also want to follow in Zhu Zhuqing's footsteps, betray Xingluo, and become Chang'an's dog!"
Zhu Zhuyun was taken aback, a look of disgust and revulsion flashing in her eyes.
"Davis! Is that how you see me? You've disappointed me so much!"
Having said that, she turned to look at Dai Xiaotian and Zhu Qingyue, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty and Empress, please allow me to stay and further my studies! Upon my return, I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to serving Xingluo, without the slightest disloyalty!"
Davis was so angry that he was about to speak.
But Dai Xiaotian interrupted him with an angry shout:
"Enough! Shut up, all of you! I've already made my decision!"
He was also worried that if Zhu Zhuyun stayed in Chang'an, she would be misled and eventually betray Xingluo.
In his view, if these two people stay, they should stay together; if one of them doesn't stay, neither of them should stay!
Before he could voice his decision, Empress Zhu Qingyue leaned closer to him and whispered:
"Your Majesty, I believe that their choices should be respected!"
"Weiss is impatient and is suitable to stay in Xingluo, where His Majesty can discipline him and entrust him with matters of state, so that he can become familiar with government affairs and prepare him for inheriting the throne in the future!"
"Zhu Yun is calm and resilient, making her suitable for staying in Chang'an for further studies. If she can achieve great things, she can return in the future and assist Davis in protecting Xingluo together!"
She paused, looked at Zhu Zhuyun, her eyes full of trust:
"Furthermore, I know Zhu Yun well. She is not the type to be fickle. Since she has sworn allegiance to Xingluo, she will never betray us!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaotian's anger gradually subsided, and he realized that it made perfect sense.
Without consulting Davis, he abruptly stood up and addressed Ye Han, who was seated at the head of the table:
"Lord Ye, our Star Luo Empire has left one person behind for further study, the future Crown Princess, Zhu Zhuyun!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying:
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations, dedicate myself to further my studies, and serve the nation in the future!"
Davis was frantic, but it was too late to stop them now.
At the same moment, above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School camp.
After discussion, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong quickly reached a consensus.
Ning Fengzhi slowly rose, his face bearing a gentle yet firm expression, and bowed to Ye Han, who was seated at the head of the table.
"Lord Ye, we at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School appreciate this generous gift, but due to certain uncontrollable factors, we regretfully have to decline it!"
"However, my little daughter Ning Rongrong has already joined Chang'an and is receiving meticulous training there. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is more than satisfied with that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chenxin and Gurong nodded in agreement.
Although they were reluctant to part ways, the current situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could not be separated from any of the three of them.
On the other side, above the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan's camp.
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian were discussing the matter, both filled with concerns.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin immediately said in unison:
"Grandpa, we want to stay and pursue further studies!"
Yu Tianheng spoke first to Yu Yuanzhen, his tone urgent:
"Grandpa, the cultivation resources and environment in Chang'an are unparalleled by the outside world. If I can stay, I will definitely be able to quickly improve my strength and lead the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to a whole new level in the future!"
Yu Tianxin quickly echoed, speaking to Yu Luomian:
"Grandpa, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I don't want to miss it, please let me stay and further my studies!"
Seeing this, Liu Erlong thought to himself:
"Right now I have no idea how to get the 'ultimate' spot. If I can secure a place, staying in Chang'an and figuring things out as they come will be the best option!"
Thinking about it, she immediately spoke up to Yu Luomian to try and persuade her:
"Father, please give me one of the spots. I will serve the sect to the death in the future!"
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian, however, frowned, their faces were solemn, and their eyes were full of worries.
Finally, Yu Yuanzhen slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Hmph! Chang'an's actions seem to be giving us an opportunity, but in reality, he has ulterior motives! With your talents, why do you need Chang'an's help? Even without Chang'an, you will definitely become Title Douluo in the future!"
Yu Luomian nodded in agreement:
"Brother is right! Chang'an is a wolf in sheep's clothing. They created this competition to set a trap and seize the treasures of our outside forces. Their actions are definitely not as simple as they seem!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin became anxious and wanted to try again.
Ke Yuyuanzhen spoke first, addressing Ye Han in the main seat:
"Lord Ye, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hereby forfeits our advanced study opportunity!"
They didn't even glance at Liu Erlong; their minds were entirely focused on Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.
Even if there were a spot available, they would never give it to Liu Erlong, since she doesn't possess the sect's pure martial soul.
"you!"
Liu Erlong was so angry that her face turned ashen. She never imagined that even if they gave up, they wouldn't give her a chance.
She was so disappointed!
Yu Luomian is unworthy to be a father and has already chosen death!
With these five major forces making their decisions, the final list was finalized.
The Min clan consists of only one person, Bai Chenxiang.
The Spirit Hall, Hu Liena and Ling Yuan.
The Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke.
In the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuyun stands alone.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, abandoned.
Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, abandoned.
A total of six people!
"Oh my god!!"
Upon seeing the final result, all living beings in the world immediately erupted into another round of discussion:
"I never expected the Spirit Hall to keep the Pope's disciple and elders here. Aren't they afraid that Chang'an might really have bad intentions?!"
"Moreover, the Heaven Dou Empire actually kept Crown Prince Xue Qinghe behind. It is said that he is the most likely person to inherit the Heaven Dou throne!"
"Huh, why did the Star Luo Empire only keep one future crown princess? Why didn't Crown Prince Davis stay? Could it be that he has some concerns?!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School have actually given up! The former is hard to understand, but why did the latter give up? Do they also think that Chang'an's move is a trap?!"
"How could there be no trickery involved? After all, Chang'an started the competition to win treasures, so it's hard to say what will happen this time!"
Upon seeing the result, Ye Han, seated at the head of the table, smiled slightly.
He certainly wasn't training them selflessly; rather, he was using them to gain access to external regulatory forces.
He had no intention of ruling the world, but he still needed to keep these powerful forces under control to prevent them from uniting and developing any unthinkable ideas!
"Good, very good!"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Han slowly spoke, his authoritative voice resounding throughout the entire venue:
"Since that's the case..."
But before he could finish speaking, a choked female voice suddenly interrupted him:
"Lord of the City! Please seek justice for Xiuxiu!!!"
People looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful blue-haired girl burst in and kneel down in the center of the arena!
She is none other than Bai Xiuxiu!
