"What about the other way?"
"Secret."
Seeing Qian Xunji cheating, Bibi Dong snorted, "You're still cheating on me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you seek justice. I will go to the Pope Palace to handle this matter."
Bibi Dong nodded with peace of mind, "Okay."
Pope Palace--
Qian Xunji is sitting on the main seat, and the two elders Qian Jun and Jiang Mo are standing below.
"Qian Jun Elder."
"Here."
"Send people to invite representatives of the major forces and ask them to come to the Spirit Hall to resolve this matter."
Qian Jun was stunned for a moment, "Invite them?"
"Well, tell them that they must arrive within three days. If they don't come, they will be considered suspects."
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo looked at each other.
Jiang Mo said with some worry, "Your Majesty, will this cause their dissatisfaction? What if they unite..."
Qian Xunji waved his hand, "Of course it will cause dissatisfaction, but they are not of the same mind."
He stood up and walked to the window.
"Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire have been fighting for hundreds of years, will they join forces?"
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been neutral, will you wade into this muddy water?"
He looked back at the two of them, "No one wants to be the first to provoke us."
"As long as we don't target a particular family, they will just be suspicious of each other and eventually cooperate."
Qian Jun thought for a while and nodded, "I understand."
Qian Xunji looked at them again, "By the way, there is one more thing."
The two pricked up their ears.
"Let the newly promoted Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo come to the main hall to perform the ceremony of being promoted to elders."
"They are both going to be promoted to elders?"
"Well, once they become familiar with the elder's work, you can join Worship Hall."
Jiang Mo and Qian Jun couldn't hide the joy on their faces.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qian Xunji waved his hand, "Go ahead, things will be done."
"Yes!"
The two of them bowed and left, their steps a little lighter than usual.
Two days later, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, meeting hall.
Ning Youcai was sitting in the main seat, holding a letter in his hand and frowning.
Gu Rong sits on his right hand side, and Ning Fengzhi sits on his left hand side.
"Two days later, Spirit Hall invites you."
"What do you think?"
Gu Rong took the letter and looked at it, also looking confused.
"What does this matter have to do with us? We were not the ones responsible for the poisoning."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "I think it's Hongmen Banquet."
Gu Rong looked at him, "Hongmen Banquet?"
"Hmm."
"Qian Xunji is trying to call all the forces to force us to express our stance."
Gu Rong frowned, "Why don't you just go?"
Ning Youcai sighed, "Hey, I can't go if I don't."
He looked out the window and said slowly, "If you don't go, firstly, you won't give Spirit Hall face, and secondly, I'm afraid he will be regarded as the murderer of his wife."
"When the time comes, they will spread the word that we are too guilty to come, and we will not be able to defend ourselves."
Gu Rong's expression changed, "But brother, your body..."
Ning Youcai waved his hand, "I'm fine."
At this time, Ning Fengzhi stood up and said, "I'll go."
Ning Youcai looked at his son, his eyes full of relief.
"Fengzhi..."
"Dad, don't worry."
"We don't do anything wrong, and we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Can they still eat us?"
Gu Rong also stood up, "I'll go with Fengzhi."
Ning Youcai nodded, "Okay, I can rest assured that you are here."
Heaven Dou Empire, Royal Palace Hall.
Xue Ye is sitting on the dragon chair, the letter in his hand has been crumpled by him.
"This is unreasonable!" He slapped his palm on the armrest, "This is simply unreasonable!"
Prince Xue Xing stood below, looking at his brother's appearance, feeling a little helpless.
"Your Majesty, calm down..."
"Calm down?" Xue Ye stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, "His wife Qian Xunji was assassinated. What does it have to do with us? Why should we go to the Spirit Hall to give him an explanation?"
He stopped and pointed out the window, "The queen is five months pregnant. I don't have time to take care of my own child, so I have to go to the Spirit Hall to solve his problem? Who is he?"
Prince Xue Xing listened silently.
After his brother finished venting, he said, "Then... what does your Majesty plan to do?"
"What do you think we should do?"
"Brother Chen feels... I'm afraid it won't work if I don't go."
Xue Ye said nothing.
Xue Xing continued, "Your Majesty, think about it, we are not the only ones invited this time."
"Heaven Dou, Star Luo Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Clear Sky Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon... all gone."
"If we don't go, wouldn't we look guilty?"
Xue Ye was silent for a while. He knew that what Xue Xing said made sense, but he just couldn't swallow it.
"Your Majesty, how about... asking my younger brother to go for you?"
Xue Ye looked at him, "Are you going?"
Xue Xing nodded, "Brother, I will go on behalf of Your Majesty. Anyway, it is just a meeting to listen to what they have to say. If you have something to worry about, I will just go to Spirit City for a walk."
Xue Ye thought for a while and finally nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Xue Xing clasped his fists, "Brother I understand."
Clear Sky Sect, meeting hall.
The atmosphere is a bit subtle.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao sit facing each other, neither of them speaking.
Sect Master Tang Yin was sitting on the main seat, looking at this and that, feeling a little headache.
"You two, just say what you have to say, don't hold it back."
Tang Hao spoke first, "I don't think you should go."
Tang Xiao frowned, "Why not go?"
"Why should you go?" Tang Hao stood up, "Spirit Hall can't mind his own business, so he has to call all the forces in the continent to go?"
"Who does Qian Xunji think he is? The common master of the world?"
Tang Xiao shook his head, "Second brother, this is not a matter of who is who. Now that someone has sent an invitation, if we don't go, we will be gossiped about."
"Just say it." Tang Hao sneered, "When have we Clear Sky Sect ever cared about what others say?"
"You--" Tang Xiao also stood up.
"Okay!" Tang Yin slapped the table.
The two of them shut up at the same time and looked at him.
Tang Yin looked at the six elders sitting on both sides, "What do you think, elders?"
First Elder pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly, "I think... Xiao'er makes sense."
Tang Hao's face changed.
First Elder continued, "If you don't go, you will be suspected. Although we Clear Sky Sect are not afraid of trouble, there is no need to be slandered by others."
Second Elder shook his head, "I think Hao'er is right. Spirit Hall is bullying others."
"If we go, will they ask us to go whenever anything happens in the future?"
"Besides, if we come just as soon as we wave, won't Clear Sky Sect lose his face outside?"
First Elder sighed, "It would be nice if uncle was here."
Hearing this, the entire chamber fell silent.
Tang Chen left Clear Sky Sect a few years ago and never came back. Clear Sky Sect looked for it over and over again, but couldn't find it.
For a time, Clear Sky Sect, who could compete head-on with the Spirit Hall, fell far behind. There were even rumors that Tang Chen was dead.
At this time, Third Elder broke the silence and said, "How about... let's see what the attitude of other forces is first?"
Tang Yin thought for a while and nodded, "The third child is right."
He looked at Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, "You two, stop arguing. Let's first see how Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Heaven Dou, and Star Luo Empire respond."
"If they all go, we will go too."
"If they don't go, we won't go either."
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao looked at each other and sat back down.
"That's it." Tang Yin said, "Let's wait and see."
