Mortal Epic of Douluo

Night, the prince's tent.

"It's really weird..." Xue Qinghe walked in the tent, his face full of thoughts, but the voice he made was not the gentle male voice in the daytime, but a cold female voice with a hint of crispness and grace.

"Uncle Bloodsucker, why do you think her temperament changed so drastically and she suddenly accepted Atreus as her disciple? Hasn't she always been extremely disgusted with men?"

Qianxue was sitting on a small stool, sipping a small drink and murmuring: "Who can understand His Majesty the Pope's thoughts? But to be appreciated by her, doesn't it mean that you, my young master, are worthy of you?"

Do you have good vision? It's best to get this Atreus into your hands."

"Ha..." Qian Renxue shook her head, "Why don't I want to win over him? But every time I talk to him, he always talks about him and pretends to be stupid. What's more...

He and Fraser like each other, and old man Xue Ye wants Xue Qinghe to marry Fraser, what do you think we can do?"

"..." Xie Xue took a big sip, opened the wine compartment, and said dullly: "Young Master, you also know that I don't like to use my brain. I can't answer this kind of thing."

Qian Renxue sighed helplessly, but suddenly thought of something again, and asked: "By the way, Uncle Sanxue, you just followed the convoy today, is there any news about him in the Pope's Palace?"

Qianxue held the wine glass to his mouth, looking hesitant, not knowing how to speak.

"What? Is there anything you can't say?" Qian Renxue urged.

"Yes, yes. But... don't be angry after hearing this."

"Angry?" Qian Renxue said amusedly, "What news can make me angry? I really want to hear it."

"Uh...how should I say..." Zhang Xue was still hesitating, but facing Qian Renxue's gaze, he finally said it: "Young Master, you still remember that boy was in the side.

Did you spend two days and three nights with His Majesty the Pope?"

"Of course I remember," Qian Renxue asked doubtfully, "Why did Uncle Bloodthorn also believe that rumor? This is impossible. When Elder Ghost Leopard went to meet her, he saw Atreus absorbing soul bones with his own eyes.

With his level of cultivation, two days and three nights were just the right amount of time to absorb a fifty- to sixty-thousand-year-old head soul bone. It was probably because she deigned to protect Atreus for so long that she was able to recruit him.

, I didn’t expect that she could actually let go of her figure, which really surprised me.”

After saying that, Qian Renxue frowned and said, "That's what you want to say?"

"Ahem -" The bloodsmith seemed to have suddenly choked on the strong drink. He coughed for a while before he recovered, and said with a slap in his mouth: "On the morning of September 1st, His Majesty the Pope summoned the senior officials in the palace to formally announce the resignation in public.

That Atreus is a disciple. After the discussion, Hu Liena and three others were arranged in the side hall to go to the Lost Grand Canyon to practice. After that, they drove away the rest of the people and left the two of them alone in a room for nearly...an hour and a half.

.”

"What's the matter? Being alone in a room cannot be used as evidence that they...that. As her disciple, Atreus is following us back to Tiandou. Maybe they were just trying to stay in Wuhun.

There was a dispute over whether to go to the palace or return to heaven. Otherwise, why did he run back to the hotel without even saying hello or eating lunch? "

Qian Renxue smiled while stroking her hands, confirming her guess, "Yes, that must be the case! I know her temperament very well, she is very domineering, and she wishes she could have everyone and everything under her control. But Atreus

He is a man who pursues freedom. He has written "Ode to Freedom". How can he get along with an old-fashioned person like Bibi Dong? This is my good opportunity. No matter what method I use, I must win him over. It is best if I can

Let him get involved in the future palace change plan and let him become a sharp blade in my hand. Even if I reveal my identity, he will have no choice..."

Upon seeing this, Sashixue put back the information that he had originally planned to say: "After the Pope came out of the side hall, there were obvious signs of cleaning in the hall", and according to the maids: "The Pope was radiant that day, more beautiful than usual" and other information

Into the stomach.

Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, the senior officials of Wuhun Palace now regard Atreus as the Pope's forbidden love, and the so-called recruitment of disciples is just to cover up others' eyes.

But it's best not to talk too much about this kind of thing to the young master. After all, the pope is the young master's biological mother. With her arrogant temperament, if she really got angry, she couldn't chop the boy into a pulp?

————————————

Twenty days later, Tiandou City, the Imperial Palace.

After bathing and changing clothes this morning, the members of the two teams of Tiandou Royal Academy will follow Prince Xue Qinghe into the palace to participate in the tenth day of the dynasty.

The political system of the Tiandou Empire is quite unique. Since it was once the most powerful empire on the continent, it naturally inherited the original centralized system.

Today, in the center of the Tiandou Empire, a major court meeting is held every ten days. However, the small court meetings on weekdays have been abandoned for a long time and have been replaced by an aristocratic political discussion system headed by Prince Xuexing. After the political decisions are approved by the emperor, they are then handed over to various parties.

executive officer.

The Great Court Meeting sounds very majestic, but in fact it is just a formality. For the emperor, as long as the throne is stable and the empire remains, it seems to make no difference whether power is handed over to a group of nobles or a group of officials.

However, today's imperial meeting seems destined to be different from the past.

After some basic political instructions, Xue Qinghe came out from the front of the team, saluted Emperor Xue Ye on the throne and said: "Father, one month ago I was ordered to lead eight academy teams to Wuhun City to participate in the National Army.

The finals of the Mainland Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. Fortunately, all the teams performed well and made great progress compared to the previous years. Among them, the two teams from our Tiandou Royal Academy won the championship and the second place respectively. Now there are two teams

The team members are waiting outside the palace, hoping that Father will spare no effort to reward me."

"Well, very good." Emperor Xueye stroked his beard and smiled, "Let them come in."

Immediately, an attendant shouted loudly: "Xuan—everyone from Tiandou Royal Academy!"

Outside the main hall, Atreus and Yu Tianheng looked at each other and set off together, leading the team members into the main hall, standing among the ranks of officials, and bowing to Emperor Xueye.

After they were saved, Emperor Xueye expressed his appreciation and asked his attendants to read out their rewards.

The rules of rewards have been established after the promotion competition. Yu Tianheng and the others are the top four, so their titles have not changed, but the gold and silver rewards are quite generous. In addition, when they advance to the next level, they can obtain the Tiandou Royal Family.

With help, obtain a soul ring with a lifespan of up to 20,000 years.

When it was Atreus's turn, there was nothing unusual in the initial announcement. According to regulations, the team's knighthood was promoted to one level. So except for Fraser and Atreus, the other main players were promoted to one level.

Viscount of Military Merit, substituted by Second Viscount.

Fraser's reward was not announced and jumped directly to Atreus. This was expected, but what the aide read out caused a huge wave in the hall.

"Captain Atreus, who came from a poor background... led his team to win the championship of the elite competition of the entire continent's advanced soul master academies, making the Heavenly Dou proud! Granted: the title of earl, the fiefdom of Pancheng, and the settlement of 2,000 households."

As soon as the decree was announced, the hall suddenly fell silent, and it wasn't just whoever spoke first, but it suddenly seemed like a bustling city, with nobles and officials whispering to each other, and people buzzing.

When Emperor Xue Ye couldn't bear the noise and was about to scold him, Prince Xue Xing stood up, raised his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty——, I object!

"
