Handling the Rumors

On this day, Gu Yuena and the others were busy in the office as usual, processing documents related to the recent remarks, when suddenly a silver light began to flash in the room.

This prompted Jiang Nannan and Xu Jiujiu to immediately activate their Martial Soul and enter a state of alert. Xu Jiujiu even considered calling over the guards outside the door, but at that moment, Gu Yuena spoke up, "Don't be so tense, they're not enemies."

Jiang Nannan and Xu Jiujiu were stunned by Gu Yuena's words, but before they could ask what was going on, Gu Yuena continued to mutter to the silver light, "It seems that your control over Power of Space is becoming more and more proficient. I think it's only a matter of time before you reach my level."

As if in response to Gu Yuena's words, a voice came from within the silver light. "Not at all, I'm far inferior to Sister Na'er."

A figure slowly emerged from the silver light. It was a handsome and dashing young man. The moment Jiang Nannan and Xu Jiujiu saw the young man, their wary eyes turned into surprise.

Jiang Nannan rushed towards Xu Xingyu, hugged him tightly, and shouted, "Xingyu, you're finally back!!!"

Feeling the warmth of Jiang Nannan's soft body, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, I'm back. I'm sorry for being gone for so long this time."

Jiang Nannan said somewhat angrily, "Come on, I heard from Sister Nana that you went to find Sister Dong'er as soon as the First Trial was over. I guess you came so late because you couldn't bear to part with Sister Dong'er, right?"

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu, with a teasing expression, looked at Xu Xingyu and said, "My dear fiancé, looking so radiant, have you completely won over Dong'er? If so, would you like to share your thoughts with us?"

This startled Xu Xingyu, who asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan and Xu Jiujiu, whose faces had been filled with joy, sharpened their eyes. Jiang Nannan, with a cold smile, said, "So you've already made a move on Dong'er? But that doesn't make sense in the order we've been talking about."

Faced with this, Xu Xingyu Jiang Nannan only stammer, "Uh, it was due to circumstances. I didn't originally plan to have a relationship with Dong'er so soon."

"Forced by circumstances?" Xu Jiujiu said sarcastically, "Is there anyone in this world who can force you? Sister Nana said that your current strength is only slightly weaker than hers."

Seeing the expressions on Jiang Nannan and Xu Jiujiu's faces, clearly saying "I'm not convinced, it was supposed to be my turn next time, "Xu Xingyu was at a loss for what to do.

This kind of Asura situation is the inevitable consequence of starting a harem, and this is only a small part of it!

To be honest, both Xu Jiujiu and Jiang Nannan knew in their hearts that they could never become Xu Xingyu's number one because that position was firmly controlled by Gu Yuena, but that did not mean they dared to fall behind others.

Gu Yuena's first time was normal because she was theoretically the main wife. Ma Xiaotao got it a second time and they didn't say anything because it was purely an exception. But the third time wasn't supposed to be in order of age!

In that case, it should be Xu Jiujiu first, then Jiang Nannan, and finally Wang Dong'er! Here, Wang Dong'er's lack of martial ethics and her overly advanced actions have greatly displeased the two women, who wish they could launch their own attack right now!

Fortunately, Gu Yuena, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore (after all, she was the rightful wife, and these newcomers were constantly flirting with Xu Xingyu in front of her, were they not taking her, the rightful wife, seriously?), so she spoke up, "Alright, alright, if you want to launch your own offensive, please do so tonight."

As soon as Gu Yuena said that, the two girls thought to themselves, "You've already eaten so many times, why are you so stingy when it comes to sharing a little with us?"

However, they ultimately suppressed their desires and did not make things difficult for Xu Xingyu in this regard. But judging from their expressions, they had not given up their ambitions.

Xu Xingyu could only wipe away her cold sweat and try to change the subject, saying, "So I see you guys are quite busy right now. Is there anything I can help you with?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said that, because the three women immediately rolled their eyes at Xu Xingyu. Gu Yuena even said irritably, "You were having a Xiaoyao out there, and now you remember you have work to do?"

"Uh..." Xu Xingyu explained, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead again, "I didn't go to Sea God Island for fun..."

Fortunately, although Gu Yuena was still annoyed that her home had been raided by a mere Wang Dong'er, she patiently recounted everything that had happened at the Spirit Contract Pagoda in the past few days.

Upon hearing the questions raised about the arguments facing Spirit Contract Pagoda, Xu Xingyu scratched her head with one hand and said, "Couldn't they just use those Evil Soul Master as shields or something?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Yuena asked, frowning.

"I think you could arrest the Evil Soul Master you've found, put them on stage, and claim that these Evil Soul Master were the ones spreading the rumors these past few days. If they continue to spread these rumors, they'll be treated as accomplices of the Evil Soul Master. After that, find out some of the nobles who were making these rumors behind the scenes and behead them along with the Evil Soul Master to intimidate others."

"Of course, we can't just suppress them; we also need to give them a treat. So, after that, we can launch some promotional activities, such as reducing the price of Soul Spirit by 20% or 30% for the next month."

Xu Jiujiu was listening to Xu Xingyu's plan, also spoke up at this moment, "This plan is acceptable, but it can only suppress the public opinion for the time being, right? After all, the seeds of discontent have already been sown in people's hearts, and sooner or later, something will happen again."

Xu Xingyu simply shrugged and said, "You're not wrong, but I don't think many people will focus on this in the next few years. After all, war will start in a few years."

"War?" Jiang Nannan asked with a worried expression, "Are you talking about the Sun Moon Empire? How can you be so sure they'll start a war in just a few years?"

"The reason is simple," Xu Xingyu explained calmly, "Because, excluding our Spirit Contract Pagoda, their Soul Guidance Technology is the most advanced on the entire continent. Furthermore, as far as I know, the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire is already old and will pass away soon."

"Among all the princes, Xu Tianran is the most likely to ascend the throne. Unlike his father, Xu Tianran is full of ambition. Once he ascends the throne, given his relationship with the Holy Spirit Cult and the Soul Guidance Technology possessed by the Sun Moon Empire, it will only be a matter of time before he launches a war."
