"Feng Zhi, do you mean that Wind Snow Pavilion also has some kind of ambition towards the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?" Gu Rong asked thoughtfully.
"Hmm, it's hard to say. Wind Snow Pavilion established itself not long ago, but it has already established a relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and has been openly supporting his forces. I can't think of any other explanation for the Wind Snow Pavilion's tireless support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince except that they have designs on the royal family." Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and said softly.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi felt that his speculation was quite reasonable. You see, with each new emperor comes a new court, and now the only heir to the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Family is Xue Qinghe. Once Xue Qinghe ascends the throne, the Wind Snow Pavilion, which has always spared no effort in supporting Xue Qinghe, will naturally see its status in the Heaven Dou Empire rise accordingly.
"Fengzhi, do you mean that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot accept this competition?" Chen Xin asked Ning Fengzhi softly.
"Uncle Sword, we can't refuse now. We don't even know what the Wind Snow Pavilion's purpose is. If we back down, we'll be even more confused. Moreover, one wrong step can lead to another, and one careless move can lead to total defeat." Chen Xin slowly exhaled, his eyes full of thought.
"It seems that Jun Xuehan is no pushover either." Gu Rong nodded slightly, crossing his arms over his chest.
"He has never been an easy person to deal with. The waters in the Wind Snow Pavilion may be very deep. The only Titled Douluo in the Wind Snow Pavilion on the surface is the Poison Douluo, but as far as we know, there is definitely more than one Titled Douluo in the Wind Snow Pavilion." Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a smile, his voice full of indifference.
"The competition is tomorrow. I'll go and make some preparations first." Chen Xin slowly stood up, one hand behind her back, and walked towards the gate of the main hall.
"Get ready, get ready. Tomorrow, it might not just be Jun Xuehan coming, but also the Heaven Dou Imperial Family." Ning Fengzhi smiled gently, slowly stood up, and walked out of the main hall with Gu Douluo Gu Rong.
In front of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Jun Xuehan walked slowly into the palace with his hands behind his back. With the Crown Prince's token, he could be said to have no obstacles along the way.
Walking through the palace, taking in the surroundings, and led by a special attendant, I arrived directly at the study, where Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was standing quietly waiting.
Upon seeing Jun Xuehan arrive, Xue Qinghe immediately went to greet him, saying, "Brother Jun, why are you so late? I've been waiting for a long time."
Jun Xuehan smiled and said, "Some things delayed me on the way, but I don't think I'm too late, Brother Xue."
Xuehan smiled gently and nodded slightly, saying, "It's not late, not at all. Father is in his study. Let's go in."
As he spoke, Xue Qinghe gestured for Jun Xuehan to enter the study with him.
Jun Xuehan agreed and entered the study with Xue Qinghe.
The study is luxuriously furnished, with various precious woods displayed throughout. The overall decor is predominantly gold, giving it a magnificent and opulent feel.
Directly in front of them, Xue Ye sat quietly. However, Xue Ye did not look well. His pale face gave him a weak appearance, and he coughed occasionally.
After Xue Qinghe and Jun Xuehan bowed slightly to Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe said, "Father, the Pavilion Master of the Wind Snow Pavilion, Jun Xuehan, has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Xue Ye nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Jun Xuehan. Compared to when he first met Jun Xuehan, the childishness on Jun Xuehan's face had completely faded.
His handsome appearance gave him an ethereal air, and his aura was completely concealed, making it impossible to detect even a trace of his Soul Power, just like an ordinary person.
If Jun Xuehan a few years ago was a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, radiating boundless brilliance, then now, that sword is sheathed, its sharpness concealed. Although its brilliance is now restrained, you will never know just how much sharpness is contained within the sheath.
"Pavilion Master Jun, what brings you here to my palace today? Please, don't stand, have a seat." Xue Ye gestured for Jun Xuehan and Xue Qinghe to sit down.
"To be honest, I have come here today because I need the royal family's help. That is why I have taken the liberty of asking Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help me arrange an audience with His Majesty," Jun Xuehan said softly to Xue Ye, who sat in the main seat.
"Oh, Brother Jun, you need help? Why didn't you tell me? With our relationship, I would definitely help without hesitation if I could," Xue Qinghe said, feigning surprise.
"Pavilion Master Jun, as the most outstanding prodigy in our Heaven Dou Empire, please feel free to speak if you need any help. As long as our royal family can help, we will naturally not stand idly by." Xue Ye nodded slightly and said in a conciliatory tone.
Jun Xuehan sighed and said softly, "Brother Xue, Your Majesty, since that's the case, I'll be frank. Our Wind Snow Pavilion has only been established for a few short years, but in terms of strength, it has completely surpassed the Lower Four Sects and is comparable to the Upper Three Sects."
"However, while our strength has increased, the shortcomings of our Wind Snow Pavilion have also become apparent. In terms of funds and resources, we are already far from sufficient. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Xue and His Majesty for help to help our Wind Snow Pavilion overcome its difficulties. Please feel free to make any requests."
As she spoke, Jun Xuehan sighed, her voice filled with deep helplessness.
A glint of light flashed in Xue Ye's eyes. If he hadn't misheard, he seemed to have heard the exact strength of the Wind Snow Pavilion, which was comparable to the Upper Three Sects.
Such strength is far greater than the apparent strength of the Wind Snow Pavilion.
"Brother Xue may not have many resources, but helping Brother Jun is no problem. However, the resources I have are still a drop in the ocean for the Wind Snow Pavilion." Xue Qinghe offered his help without much thought. However, there was also a sense of helplessness in Xue Qinghe's voice.
"Pavilion Master Jun, if it's a private sponsorship, we'd be happy to help, and there's no need to discuss any requirements. But our private resources are just a drop in the ocean for a huge Wind Snow Pavilion."
"But if it's not private sponsorship, then our royal family needs to discuss the terms. After all, our royal family has used countless resources to help your Wind Snow Pavilion overcome its difficulties, and it's impossible for us to do so without any return. We hope that Pavilion Master Jun can understand." Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe with an appreciative gaze, his somewhat weak voice carrying Sisi trace of majesty.
