First Meeting with Xue Ye

Lu Yuan smiled slightly after being glared at by Qian Renxue, but his gaze did not soften at all. Instead, he rolled his eyes and looked her up and down.

"Ahem!" Qian Renxue coughed and said, "Hall Master Lu, please come with me."

He then took the lead and walked ahead.

Knowing Lu Yuan's shameless nature, she was too lazy to argue with Lu Yuan. No matter how she fought him, she would only suffer in the end. So Qian Renxue simply stopped trying and left.

But I must say, this trick actually works quite well.

Seeing Qian Renxue lead the way, Lu Yuan could only call out to Long Xiaoyao behind him before following behind Qian Renxue.

Following Qian Renxue, turning left and right, crossing countless palaces, they finally arrived at their final destination. It must be said that the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace was indeed very large, no less so than the headquarters of the Spirit Hall.

Since it was a private meeting, Xue Ye would not greet Lu Yuan in the main hall of the palace. Instead, he met Lu Yuan in a pavilion in the imperial garden of his palace.

"Father, Hall Master Lu has arrived." Qian Renxue bowed slightly to Xue Ye and said softly.

"Oh, has Hall Master Lu arrived?" Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Xue Ye turned slightly and stood up. Beside him, a middle-aged man also stood up.

"Hall Master Lu is a young and outstanding talent, and I have long admired him. Today, I am finally fortunate to meet Hall Master," Xue Ye said with a slight smile.

"Your Majesty is too kind. I have long admired Your Majesty, and seeing you today, I can confirm that you truly live up to your reputation and possess the demeanor of an emperor."

Lu Yuan said softly.

It's all just empty talk; everyone's just trying to take advantage of each other. It's all just polite talk, and whoever believes it loses.

Everyone present was a shrewd person; they could immediately tell the truth or falsehood in each other's words.

However, everyone pretended not to notice. After all, what high-ranking leader doesn't have a bit of acting skills?

Lu Yuan's gaze shifted and landed on Ning Fengzhi standing to the side. "Uncle Ning is here too?"

"Haha, Xiao Yuan, your meeting with the Emperor is such a memorable scene, how could I not be there?" Ning Fengzhi chuckled softly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying. He knew very well what Ning Fengzhi was thinking. He was simply trying to facilitate the alliance between the Dragon King Hall and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, hoping that Heaven Dou Imperial Family would help persuade him while he hesitated.

After all, the Dragon King Hall and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family have joined forces. As a mutual ally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can reap considerable benefits. This old fox is quite shrewd.

Lu Yuan had already figured this out, so he wasn't surprised at all that Ning Fengzhi was there.

"Hall Master Lu, please have a seat!" Xue Ye pointed to the seat opposite him and said with a light laugh.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Yuan did not refuse and sat down directly.

Long Xiaoyao stood behind Lu Yuan.

Seeing Lu Yuan sit down, Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi also sat down.

As soon as the group sat down, a maidservant brought them tea and snacks.

"This must be the Dragon Emperor Douluo." Xue Ye glanced at Long Xiaoyao, then turned his gaze to Lu Yuan and asked softly.

"Yes, this is Old Long." Lu Yuan nodded and said.

"As expected of the Dragon Emperor Douluo, he is indeed one of the top experts of this era. His aura is truly as deep and imposing as a mountain, as deep and as imposing as a prison," Xue Ye praised.

"You flatter me, Your Majesty," Long Xiaoyao said calmly.

"Qinghe, prepare a seat for Dragon Emperor Douluo," Xue Ye instructed Qian Renxue.

"Yes, Father!" Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded and quickly arranged for the surrounding maids to also give Long Xiaoyao a seat.

"Please sit down, Old Long," Lu Yuan said.

"Yes, my lord." Only after receiving Lu Yuan's permission did Long Xiaoyao sit down.

"Hey, isn't that Senior Sword with Uncle Ning today? This senior is unusually tall. If I'm not mistaken, this should be Bone Douluo, Senior Bone, right?" Looking at the figure standing behind Ning Fengzhi, who was at least two and a half meters tall, Lu Yuan asked with great interest.

"It is indeed Bone Uncle. Sword Uncle had something to do today, so Bone Uncle accompanied me," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Oh, I see!" Lu Yuan nodded and looked away from Bone Douluo.

Bone Douluo was a level 95 Super Douluo, and his strength was decent, but he was far inferior to Sword Douluo. Lu Yuan only paid attention to him because he was surprised by his height of over 2.5 meters, so he glanced at him casually and then looked away.

On the contrary, Bone Douluo looked at Lu Yuan with great interest, as if trying to see what kind of magic Lu Yuan possessed that could bewitch Ning Rongrong so much.

Lu Yuan naturally noticed Bone Douluo's scrutiny, but he didn't pay it any mind.

"Why didn't Elder Dugu come with Hall Master Lu today?" Xue Ye asked Lu Yuan softly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Elder Dugu doesn't want to see acquaintances these days, for fear of awkwardness."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi immediately realized that it was because of the incident involving eating the chair. Thinking about it, the two couldn't help but smile at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I heard from Sect Master Ning that you requested to meet with me to discuss matters of cooperation?" Taking a sip of tea, Lu Yuan no longer concealed his intentions and went straight to the point.

"Indeed, I wonder what Hall Master Lu thinks?" Seeing that Lu Yuan had made his point clear, Xue Ye stopped with the formalities and got straight to the point.

"Sect Master Ning has also spoken to me about these matters. I have no major objections to the cooperation, but I wonder what benefits our Dragon King Hall will gain from supporting the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?" Lu Yuan said slowly.

"Hehe, Hall Master Lu really gets straight to the point," Xue Ye laughed upon hearing Lu Yuan's words.

"I'm straightforward in my words and actions. I don't like playing games. After all, talking about other unimportant things is useless. These things are the most important," Lu Yuan said calmly.

"What Hall Master Lu said is true. In this world, interests are the most important thing, and our cooperation is a win-win situation."

"As long as the Dragon King Hall is willing to support our Heaven Dou Imperial Family, then the benefits will naturally be plentiful. Our Heaven Dou Imperial Family is very sincere towards our allies," said Xue Ye.

"Oh?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Then I'd like to see how sincere Your Majesty is."
