The Coronation Ceremony: Xue Ke Ascends the Throne
Clear Sky Sect.
Blazing flames roared on the buildings of the Clear Sky Sect, sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky.
Bai Wanwan looked at the Clear Sky Sect, which was about to be reduced to ashes, without any emotion in her eyes. She silently turned around and walked towards Heaven Dou City with Qian Renxue.
Guibao, Moxiong, Ling Yuan, She Long, Ci Xue, and other Titled Douluo, along with about three thousand Soul Master, followed quietly behind them.
The Clear Sky Sect has been completely destroyed.
From that moment on, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul ceased to exist in the world.
However, the spoils of war seized from the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect were not as many as Bai Wanwan had imagined. After being divided equally with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they received even fewer spoils.
Back to Heaven Dou City.
The group then returned directly to the King Canglan's Mansion.
After arranging the compensation for the fallen soldiers and a series of rewards at the King's Mansion, Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue headed deeper into the King's Mansion.
In the garden.
Bai Wanwan lay on Qian Renxue's lap, her gaze fixed quietly on the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a thoughtful look occasionally flashing in her eyes, as if she were pondering something.
Qian Renxue gently stroked Bai Wanwan's hair.
After a while.
Bai Wanwan withdrew her gaze from the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, looked up at Qian Renxue, and asked, "Sister, do you think Yu Luomian can persuade Yu Yuanzhen?"
"Wanwan, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
"Whether Yu Luomian can persuade Yu Yuanzhen or not, it won't have any impact on us right now."
"If we can persuade Yu Yuanzhen, we'll gain another Titled Douluo rank to help us. If we can't persuade Yu Yuanzhen, we can just send someone to eliminate Yu Yuanzhen and let Yu Luomian take the position of clan leader, isn't that enough?"
"As for whether Yu Luomian can subdue the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, that's something he needs to consider."
Qian Renxue's voice was very calm, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
In reality, Qian Renxue didn't really care about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even less about Yu Yuanzhen. Although Yu Yuanzhen's strength was among the best of the level 95 Titled Douluo, in the vast Spirit Hall, he was just another face in the crowd.
The Clear Sky Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, has been destroyed.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is currently in a cooperative relationship with them.
Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Luomian belongs to them.
Once Yu Luomian is helped to become the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will also gravitate towards their side.
When the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire becomes a fait accompli, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect probably won't jump out and oppose them. More likely, they will follow them to the end.
Therefore, whether Yu Luomian could persuade Yu Yuanzhen was completely unimportant to Qian Renxue. If they didn't want to suffer more casualties, they were fully capable of directly crushing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Then let's wait for Message from Yu Luomian."
Bai Wanwan got up from Qian Renxue's lap and walked towards her boudoir.
"Wanwan, where are you going?"
Watching Bai Wanwan's actions, Qian Renxue asked softly.
Go back to your room, take a shower, and go to sleep.
I haven't slept all night, I'm a little sleepy.
Bai Wanwan winked playfully at Qian Renxue.
Seeing Bai Wanwan's actions, Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened slightly, as if she had been teased.
Qian Renxue rose from her seat and quickly followed Bai Wanwan, heading together towards her boudoir.
Two days later.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace
Around nine o'clock in the morning.
The Coronation Ceremony officially began.
In the magnificent and grand Main Hall, Xue Ke sat upright in the main seat, her gaze sweeping over the civil and military officials below.
On the lower left, there were two chairs, where Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan were sitting with their eyes closed, resting.
This was a small privilege that Xue Ke granted them, and it also reflected their status and position.
Behind Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan stood Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the new National Teacher of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Next up are the original civil and military officials.
After a series of complicated procedures were completed, a minister took the edict written by Xue Ke and read it aloud to the public.
The decree essentially contained the content of bestowing titles and rewards.
The titles and rewards bestowed upon some ministers, as well as Ning Fengzhi, Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and others.
Among them, Ning Fengzhi served as the National Teacher while also handling various affairs of the court.
Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan were put in charge of the military in the Heaven Dou Empire and were granted the titles of Grand Princess and Princess, as well as a new Fief Vast Sea City.
The Coronation Ceremony has concluded.
After handing over the court affairs to Ning Fengzhi, Xue Ke adjourned the court session and led Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan toward the Rear Hall.
Watching Xue Ke, Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and the others leave, Ning Fengzhi's eyes showed a hint of contemplation and helplessness.
Hmm~
He obtained the position of National Teacher in the empire as he wished, but in terms of real power, he had much less than he had expected.
In other words, they do the most work, but receive the least real power.
If there were ten people with real power in the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Fengzhi hold two, Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan would hold seven, and the remaining ten would be in the hands of the other civil and military officials.
As for Xue Ke, she is the mascot with the highest public status.
The Rear Hall of the Imperial Palace.
In a beautifully situated pavilion.
Xue Ke sat at a stone table, eating the cut fruit in front of her with a smile on her face.
Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan sat on the left and right sides respectively.
"Sister Bai, Qian-jie, this fruit is very sweet, you should try some."
As Xue Ke spoke, she pushed the fruit in front of her forward.
"Your Majesty, did you summon us here just to eat fruit?"
Bai Wanwan picked up a piece of fruit, put it in her mouth, and tasted it.
"Hmm~"
"Yes and no."
Xue Ke nodded first, then gently shook her head.
"Sister Bai, I have an idea that I think is necessary to discuss with you first."
Xue Ke took a bite of fruit, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"What is it, Your Majesty? Please speak freely."
Qian Renxue turned her gaze to Xue Ke, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Qian-jie, Sister Bai, I know my own capabilities. I owe my position to your support."
"But I know neither politics nor military affairs. I can't manage such a vast empire, nor do I have the ability to sit in this position. So, Qian-jie and Sister Bai, if you are interested in this position, just let me know, and I will issue an edict to abdicate."
"When the time comes, just leave me a pair of chopsticks and a bowl in your residence."
Xue Ke rested her chin on her hand, a faint smile playing on her lips.
