Regarding the stranger standing outside the door, Xia Linyuan looked calm, without any surprise, as if he had expected it.
His spiritual consciousness has long covered every corner of the Illustrious Virtue Hall. Every move made by everyone, no matter how subtle, is invisible to him, including naturally the person standing in front of the secret laboratory.
As early as the moment this person stepped into the Illustrious Virtue Hall, Xia Linyuan had already noticed him.
Because this person is none other than Kong Deming who is currently closest to Level 10 Soul Engineer in the entire Douluo Continent!
When Kong Deming saw Xia Linyuan coming out, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He looked at him subconsciously, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Black hair, golden eyes, surly...
It seems that the little guy in front of me who looks no more than fifteen years old should be the one Star Luo Empire who became famous at a young age.
Kong Deming instantly had an answer in his heart.
But thinking about it, the first person known to have proposed the concept of forging is Xia Linyuan. At the same time, he also entered Illustrious Virtue Hall for study and research.
So who else but him could be forged in the secret laboratory?
Xia Linyuan naturally knew the purpose of Kong Deming standing in front of the secret laboratory, but he pretended to think that Kong Deming wanted to wait for the users who were using the secret laboratory to finish using it before using it. His face and eyes showed just the right amount of surprise to see someone waiting.
With stunned eyes and expressions, Xia Linyuan made a gesture of invitation to Kong Deming, and then walked towards the public experimental area where his experimental table was.
Kong Deming looked at Xia Linyuan's leaving figure, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and revealed a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After roughly browsing through the daily letters from Gu Yuena, Xia Linyuan took up pen and wrote a reply to each of them.
"Young Master."
As an old, rich voice sounded, the light in the room dimmed instantly, and a figure stepped out from the shadow in the corner.
Hearing this voice, Xia Linyuan said without raising his head, "Mr. Gu, you are here."
The old man known as Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Young Master's life is the most important thing, how can I ignore it?"
Mr. Gu, whose full name is Gu Ruixue, is a guest official who has lived in Duke Molong's Mansion for decades. He is also one of the dozens of guest guests in Duke Molong's Mansion, one of the titled Douluo who can be counted on one hand.
It can even be said that Xia Linyuan has been watched by Gu Ruixue since he was a child since he was brought back from the front line by Abyss by Xia Yanqing.
As the status of the Molong Duke Mansion has skyrocketed over Star Luo Empire and even the entire Douluo Continent in recent years, the strength of the Molong Duke Mansion is also increasing day by day.
First, Duke Molong Xia Yanqing successfully broke through to the Titled Douluo level. At this time, Duke of White Tiger Dai Hao, who was known as the first person in the Star Luo Empire army, was still at the Soul Douluo level.
Then dozens of powerful Spirit Master came here to join Molong Duke Mansion. Although most of them were Soul Emperor and Soul Saint level Spirit Master, there were also some Soul Douluo level experts.
In recent years, Molong Duke Mansion's elders and guests who had been stuck at the Soul Douluo level for a long time have also broken through. Molong Duke Mansion, who did not have a single Titled Douluo level expert, also suddenly had four Titled Douluos in just three years.
At this point, the strength of the Molong Duke's Palace has faintly surpassed that of the White Tiger Duke's Palace, and it has suddenly become the most powerful person in the Star Luo Empire. Its strength is second only to the Star Luo royal family, which has several titled Douluo in the Enshrinement Hall alone, and a ninety-eighth-level great enshrinement.
Whether before or after the breakthrough, Gu Ruixue has been the protector responsible for secretly protecting Xia Linyuan from beginning to end.
Xia Linyuan collected the replies to Gu Yuena and stuffed them into the envelope, "Mr. Gu, Duke's Mansion, how is the situation over there?"
Gu Ruixue sighed, "In the past few months since the young master went to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy to study, there have been at least thirteen spies near the Duke's Mansion. It seems that His Majesty is still worried."
"Only thirteen?" Xia Linyuan murmured.
Hearing Xia Linyuan's muttering, Gu Ruixue subconsciously asked, "What?"
"It's nothing." A smile appeared on Xia Linyuan's face, but this smile seemed to Gu Ruixue full of reluctance, "I just thought of my father and I fighting on the Abyss front line. We are working hard, and behind the scenes we are also working hard to end the Abyss war and make the empire strong. I, Molong Duke Mansion, have devoted my heart and soul to the empire, but His Majesty is still so wary of us, which is a bit chilling."
"Your Majesty has the utmost confidence in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, who has been married to the Prime Minister's family for thousands of years, and Duke of White Tiger, who commands the three armies, but he is not willing to give that little trust to me, Molong Duke Mansion."
Speaking of this, Xia Linyuan couldn't help but flash an imperceptible desolate look in his golden eyes.
Although this desolate look was well concealed by Xia Linyuan, it was still clearly captured by Gu Ruixue, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
No matter how smart this kid is, no matter how good he is in front of others, he will never be able to withstand people's suspicion.
What Xingluo Emperor did is really chilling.
"What about the situation in the Duke's Mansion?"
"Steward Liu who is in charge of accounting, the cook Erfu, the maid Jin Ying..." Gu Ruixue named seven or eight people in one breath. "These people all entered Duke's Mansion in the year when the young master was canonized as a general. Now it seems that they are all hidden spies planted by His Majesty in the Duke's Mansion."
"Keeping accounts, eating, living..." Xia Linyuan closed his eyes weakly, "What did father and mother say?"
Gu Ruixue was silent for a while and said, "Molong Duke Mansion has a clear conscience."
"No more?"
"Go back to Young Master, it's gone."
"Haha..." Xia Linyuan couldn't help but chuckle, "What a clear conscience. It would be great if His Majesty thought so too."
Gu Ruixue could hear a heavy feeling of exhaustion from Xia Linyuan's words, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Xia Linyuan is someone he has seen since childhood, and this was the first time he saw the former showing such an expression.
"Mr. Gu." Xia Linyuan suddenly said, "How many years has Molong Duke Mansion been inherited on the Douluo Continent?"
Gu Ruixue thought for a while and said, "Molong Duke Mansion has been inherited for one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two years."
"One thousand eight hundred and ninety-two years is considered a long time." Xia Linyuan looked at Youyou, "I just don't know if Molong Duke Mansion can have another one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two years."
Hearing this, Gu Ruixue felt horrified at the moment.
Xia Linyuan What does this mean?
Does Xingluo Emperor really want to...
"Mr. Gu, tell me... what should I do to satisfy everyone?" Xia Linyuan asked melancholy, a look of confusion flashed across his handsome face.
Gu Ruixue was silent.
Because he knows that no matter what Xia Linyuan does, it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
Because he is so dazzling, dazzling enough to compete with the bright moon.
It is precisely because of this that some people don't want him to compete with Haoyue forever.
After sending Gu Ruixue away, Xia Linyuan put away the confused look on his face and became indifferent again.
"Thirteen spies, eight secret chess pieces, and all the important gates of the Molong Duke Mansion. You really think highly of me."
"A summer insect can't talk about the ice, and a well frog can't talk about the sea. It's really boring. This game of chess would be more interesting if it were replaced by a chess player who can play chess."
At the same time, inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
"Brother, are you still worried?" Xu Jiujiu asked.
Putting down the information in his hand, Xingluo Emperor rubbed his temples as if they had been hit by someone, and said, "The first-hand information from the front line was not sent to me, but to Xia Linyuan who was far away from the Shrek Academy. The information was only sent to me the next day. How could I not be worried?"
"But..." Xu Jiujiu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is it necessary to be so defensive about the Molong Duke Mansion? From sister Yi Han to every elder of the Molong Xia Clan, down to the basic necessities of life..."
"Why is it not necessary?" Xingluo Emperor said, "If it was not necessary, how could I know that a small Molong Duke Mansion actually produced four Titled Douluos? Even the Worship Hall of the Star Luo Empire only has ten Titled Douluos!"
"But..." Xu Jiujiu said, "Duke Molong hasn't been stuck at level 89 for a long time, hasn't it? In addition, these years have often been on the edge of life and death. Isn't it normal to have some insights and breakthroughs?"
"The other three Titled Douluo also broke through recently, and Molong Duke Mansion didn't hide it intentionally. It seems there is no problem, right?"
"Brother, I think you are just too suspicious. Instead of doubting the whole Molong Duke Mansion, you should focus on that guy Xia Linyuan."
Because Xia Linyuan took action to snatch Snow Empress Embryo from Titled Douluo who captured Snow Empress Embryo, even in the world line Douluo World Pearl, who appeared when it was restrained, was also snatched away by him, so the plot line of the Body Sect sneaking up on the Illustrious Virtue Hall in the original novel with the intention of snatching the treasure did not continue.
The reward for information about "Black Pharaoh Apostle" has also been increased to three million Gold Soul Coin by the Shrek Academy. Even if someone comes to claim the reward with the head of "Black Pharaoh Apostle", they will receive an additional piece of Soul Bone donated by the Shrek Academy.
As soon as this news came out, the whole Douluo Continent was boiling.
After the Shrek Academy raised the reward, the families of the White Tiger Duke Mansion and those Inner Court students who were killed or seriously injured in the battle also spoke out one after another.
If there is anyone who can provide information or kill of "Black Pharaoh Apostle", they will be grateful.
It is rare for a Soul King level Evil Spirit Master to get the mainland's number one Soul Master Academy and several big family forces to promise such generous rewards as long as they can provide information.
The reward for just providing information is so generous, let alone the reward for killing this evil person.
While I was shocked by the generous rewards, I was also accompanied by harsh ridicule towards the Shrek Academy.
Because everyone knows that "Black Pharaoh Apostle", who was given such a generous reward by the mainland's number one Soul Master Academy--Shrek Academy, after killing two Inner Court disciples of the Shrek Academy and seriously injuring others, not only used the power of Soul King from Level 98 Super Douluo, and another powerful Soul Douluo's subordinates escaped, and almost killed the injured Young War God Xia Linyuan in front of him.
Later, this "Black Pharaoh Apostle" went to the Shrek Academy's territory openly, killed several Shrek Academy students, and stood the students' corpses in front of the Shrek Academy's gate to provoke Shrek Academy.
This alone was not enough, this "Black Pharaoh Apostle" actually successfully plotted against the Shrek Academy's teacher under the noses of several Titled Douluos, and finally escaped under the roundup of two Titled Douluos.
"Black Pharaoh Apostle" originally only relied on the Mingdou Mountains's geographical location and the fact that it was difficult for the armies of the two border countries to take action personally, but it was targeted by the Shrek Academy.
And not only did he not die, but it was as if his life had been screwed up. Not only did he complete the counterattack, but he also went to other people's territory to make a big fuss. It can be said that he is a legend in the life of a generation.
And with the longing for Spirit Master, which was once recognized as the holy land, but now is the Shrek Academy that is ridiculed by thousands of people, some people raised their doubts in the face of the ridicule,
"Why was a small five-ring Evil Spirit Master able to escape from Level 98, Super Douluo, Soul Douluo, and two Titled Douluos?"
"If Evil Spirit Master, who is also at the Titled Douluo level, had not taken action, I am afraid that Evil Spirit Master, who was only at the Soul King level, would not have been able to do that."
His doubts initially had a good effect on the voices mocking Shrek Academy, but he was soon slapped in the face by the person involved's testimony.
That "Black Pharaoh Apostle" ran into the city at some point and happened to hear these gossips, so he laughed at the Shrek Academy regardless of his identity.
According to him, although he was indeed protected by two strong men, before he escaped under the cover of the two strong men, he had been captured by the Shrek Academy's Level 98's Super Douluo.
When he was captured by Xuan Zi, he relied on his fifth Spirit Skill to easily escape with Xia Linyuan and another Shrek Academy soul Emperor Rank and other Inner Court disciples.
Later, Xuan Zi turned on Martial Soul Avatar and fought against two strong men. In the end, he was defeated and had half of his hand cut off. The legs of the Inner Court disciple he was protecting in his hands were also cut off completely, and he took Xia Linyuan away safely.
The reason why he failed to kill Xia Linyuan was because that Soul Douluo suddenly arrived, single-handedly suppressed the two strong men, and forcibly took away Xia Linyuan.
Although a Level 98's Super Douluo is not as strong as a Soul Douluo, this is simply the biggest joke in the world.
Now, instead of suppressing the ridicule of the Shrek Academy, those who raised doubts did the opposite, making the ridicule even louder.
After more than two years, Shrek Academy has once again been pushed to the forefront.
Mu En They never expected that they originally wanted to use the reward information to regain some face for themselves, but now it has become their biggest joke and was laughed at by everyone.
