The Eye of the Storm
"A bunch of idiots, Mingdu know the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is just around the corner, yet you still dare to cause trouble outside."
Inside the Xue Xing's Prince Mansion.
The Xue Ye so thick with anger that it felt like smoke was rising from the top of my head.
I just dealt with the impact of Lin Xuan's affairs this morning.
That afternoon, the terrible news came that the Xue Beng victim had been kicked and seriously injured.
That night, a devastating attack was launched, and his younger brother, Xue Xing, had his limbs crippled.
And the person who made the move was the same child who caused such a stir this morning.
That's the kind of existence that could force two Titled Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to simultaneously choose to back down.
And how dare his own son and brother indirectly or directly offend the other party?!
His Heaven Dou Empire is indeed vast and rich in resources, but he must also know who he can and cannot afford to offend!
She Long's intelligence also revealed that if the enemy were to launch a long-range attack with that terrifying Soul Tool, it would be devastating if they fired it at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Without the protection of Titled Douluo, how could the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace possibly withstand the attack?
The more Xue Ye thought about it, the angrier she became, and she slapped Xue Xing across the face.
It's just that I lost five limbs; after a period of rest and recuperation, they can be reattached and I'll still be able to use them.
Um...
His fifth limb was completely blown off, but he was already in his forties or fifties, so it was pretty much useless anyway.
Why did you have to mess with that Fierce God?
"Father, shouldn't we consider another issue now?!"
Just then, Xue Qinghe suddenly stood up and spoke.
This is now a disguised version of Qian Renxue.
After arranging for Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu to stay at the Spirit Hall and requesting that Salas treat them with the highest level of hospitality, Qian Renxue rushed back and switched places with her substitute without stopping.
Xue Xing, who had just been slapped, gave Xue Qinghe a rare look of gratitude.
"What's the problem?"
Xue Ye said somewhat impatiently.
The numerous heinous incidents occurring within Heaven Dou City have dealt a severe blow to the prestige of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
"Forgive my bluntness, but right now we shouldn't be thinking about blaming anyone, but rather about finding ways to repair our relationship with Lin Xuan as much as possible."
A child carrying weapons, especially at an age when he can't control his emotions, what if he misunderstands my Heaven Dou Imperial Family because of this, and then quietly launches an attack?
That would be a terrifying blow to our Heaven Dou Empire.
As Xue Qinghe spoke, his fingers unconsciously rubbed the Level 7 Defense Soul Tool in his pocket.
"That's a weapon that even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo fear!"
Xue Qinghe used the word "fear" to describe it, imagining that Xue Ye should be able to understand the horror of that thing.
"Moreover, if he were to side with the Star Luo Empire because of what I've done to the Heaven Dou Empire, wouldn't that be an even greater blow to us?"
Therefore, what we need to do now is to eliminate his misunderstanding of my Heaven Dou Imperial Family as much as possible."
Xue Qinghe's combination of coaxing, deception, threats, and intimidation instantly turned Xue Ye and Xue Xing's faces pale with fright.
They simply couldn't imagine what would happen if the scene Xue Qinghe described actually occurred.
"Then, what should we do?"
Xue Ye's voice trembled slightly, and Xue Xing was even more distressed, her blanket soaked with sweat.
"Given the current situation, he and his companions must have reached some kind of agreement with the Spirit Hall, so we must speed things up."
Otherwise, if he were recruited by the Spirit Hall, that would be a real problem with the future.
My idea is to open the Imperial Treasury and prepare some decent gifts for them as a token of apology.
"At the very least, we must show him the sincerity of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
Xue Qinghe's true intentions were finally revealed when he finally showed his true colors.
He and Lin Xuan had a very pleasant conversation. Although Lin Xuan had no intention of joining the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall, he spoke highly of it.
Even Xiao Wu, who was by Lin Xuan's side, had a good impression of her.
Therefore, he naturally wanted to secure more benefits for Lin Xuan.
It's not like he's the one paying for it, is it?
"Good!"
After thinking for a while, Xue Ye finally nodded.
There's no way around it; Lin Xuan isn't just any ordinary Soul Master. He's practically a level 98 or 99 Titled Douluo.
If I offend him and don't appease him, I won't be able to sleep peacefully on Xue Ye.
"Very well, Father, I will go and make the arrangements immediately."
Xue Qinghe bowed slightly, but as he turned around, he seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped, turning to look at Xue Ye.
"By the way, Father, you also need to discipline Fourth Brother properly. It would be best to announce the punishment publicly, as a way of showing sincerity."
Xue Qinghe hadn't forgotten about Xue Beng.
If he didn't say much, the punishment for Xue Beng on Xue Ye would probably just be a matter of talking.
Xue Beng's reputation is already ruined, so verbal punishment is probably meaningless to him.
"Um...
Upon returning, I ordered him to be imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, and forbidden from stepping outside the Imperial Clan Court for three years."
Upon hearing this, Xue Ye remained silent for a while before finally making a decision.
Xue Qinghe nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
Xue Xing's face turned pale.
Anyone familiar with the Imperial Clan Court knows that it was incredibly ruthless in its dealings with imperial heirs.
They don't care about personal feelings when punishing imperial heirs, because that's their livelihood.
If Xue Beng were locked up for three years, he'd probably be lucky to escape with his life, if not dead.
Meanwhile, Ning Feng Zhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was experiencing the same thing.
Ning Rongrong's misdeeds not only caused heavy losses to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but also damaged its reputation.
If Ning Rongrong didn't possess innate level nine Soul Power, then even if she were Ning Feng Zhi's daughter, she would still be sentenced to death at this point.
However, Gu Rong and Chen Xin were still on Ning Feng Zhi's side, which meant that even if the Elder Council were furious, they dared not vent their anger.
Ultimately, the punishment for Ning Rongrong was dropped.
After all, the entire sect was hoping that she could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
However, Ning Feng Zhi was burdened with a huge debt, and until the sect's losses were fully recovered, Ning Feng Zhi, as the Sect Master, had no right to use any of the sect's resources.
This punishment could be considered severe, but it could also be considered lenient, given that Ning Feng Zhi had two Titled Douluo supporting him.
Moreover, they are the only two Titled Douluo within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Then there are my thoughts on Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu.
After all, this was a villain who had robbed his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect of 55 million Gold Soul Coin.
They wished they could tear Lin Xuan to pieces.
But none of them were willing to take action.
There's no other reason than that its deterrent effect is too strong.
Not only did they dare not make a move, they even had to ensure the safety of Lin Xuan and his group.
Otherwise, if someone were to launch a sneak attack under the banner of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
If the sneak attack succeeds, all will be well. But if it fails, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will likely have to face an attack that even the two Titled Douluo, Sword and Bone, find terrifying.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been established for many years; when has it ever been so timid and hesitant?
They had never felt so humiliated, not even when facing the Spirit Hall.
But facing Lin Xuan...
It can only be said that the youthful vigor of this young man is still increasingly valuable.
If these Soul Tool fell into the hands of the Spirit Hall, they would be wary, but not to this extent.
But Lin Xuan is just a child.
Just look at Ning Rongrong; with her fearless and reckless nature, they don't care about the consequences!
It's safe to say that very few of the higher-ups in Heaven Dou City were able to sleep that night.
Almost everything revolved around discussing various matters with Lin Xuan.
