Chapter 200 Qian Duoduo Seeks Refuge in Mingdu
The princes and Xu Tianran showed completely different attitudes towards Huo Yuhao's absence from the banquet.
The princes were outwardly united but inwardly divided, each wanting to gain the greatest benefit from Huo Yuhao, and thus they were wary of each other.
Some were open about it, some were indignant, and many even harbored secret resentment towards Huo Yuhao.
The moment Xu Tianran received the news from Ju Zi, he smiled and said that national affairs were of utmost importance.
He stated that Lin Yineng's ability to dedicate himself to research is a blessing for the Sun Moon Empire.
Therefore, Xu Tianran immediately ordered Ju Zi to send various rare metals and ingredients from the Eastern Palace to the Offering Hall to show his support for Lin Yi.
Now, Ju Zi's storage soul tool is almost full of various resources that Xu Tianran provided to Huo Yuhao.
As long as Huo Yuhao needs it, Xu Tianran can ensure that Ju Zi can deliver the items to Huo Yuhao as soon as possible.
After learning of Ju Zi's actions through the eyes and ears of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the princes gritted their teeth and cursed Xu Tianran for being so omnipresent, even going so far as to try to curry favor with Lin Yi during his seclusion.
Fearing they would fall behind, the princes followed suit and ordered their men to send all sorts of rare materials to the Hall of Worship.
For a time, the area outside the offering hall was bustling with activity, and all sorts of precious items were piled up like mountains, making it as lively as the Chinese New Year.
As for the oranges, they wisely never came to the shrine again after giving the first gift.
Xu Tianran only needed to make the first move; the rest was just a way for him to give to Huo Yuhao.
Because he had already anticipated that these princes would follow suit and use every means to curry favor with Huo Yuhao.
Before Huo Yuhao arrived in Mingdu, these princes could unite as one to fight against Xu Tianran.
However, when Huo Yuhao appeared as Lin Yi, especially with the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps standing behind him, the princes began to get restless.
They each harbored their own ulterior motives and secretly competed with each other, all wanting to possess Lin Yi, this precious treasure.
Such an outcome would inevitably anger Wang Changming, who regarded Huo Yuhao as his adopted son.
As Xu Tianran had predicted, Wang Changming stood in front of the ancestral hall with a dark face, loudly rebuking the princes for disturbing Huo Yuhao's secluded meditation.
Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair, watching the departing orange with a smile in his eyes.
He announced to the world this morning that he would marry Ju Zi once he became a Title Douluo.
The prescription for the drug that Ju Zi was forced to take has also been secretly spread by him.
"My good brothers, you don't have any trump cards like oranges on your hands."
The princes were about the same age as Xu Tianran, but they were all already married.
There were absolutely no women of suitable age and high status around them who could get close to Huo Yuhao like Ju Zi did.
Ju Zi is Xuan Ziwen's student, which is Xu Tianran's biggest natural advantage in getting to know Huo Yuhao.
"The only person you have who can stand up to Ju Zi is my good cousin, but do you dare let him get close to Lin Yi?"
Xu He, who resides at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, is the only one who can surpass Ju Zi in status.
However, these princes, each fighting their own battles, dared not allow Xu He to come into contact with Huo Yuhao.
Xu He has now been sidelined by them and has become a living symbol.
If Xu He really gets lucky and gains Lin Yi's approval, then the situation that these princes have painstakingly built up will instantly become Xu He's assets.
Faced with Xu Tianran in front and Xu He behind, these princes had no chance of survival other than rebelling.
The problem is that with the Imperial Ancestral Hall overseeing the Ming capital, these princes could not possibly succeed in their rebellion.
There are no evil spirit masters to help them now.
However, just when Xu Tianran felt victory was assured, a message brought by Shadow Douluo Xue Chen disrupted Xu Tianran's plans.
Qian Duoduo, the exiled dean of Shrek Academy, has come to join the Sun Moon Empire.
Furthermore, he did not come alone, but brought three Title Douluos with him to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to pledge allegiance to Xu He.
The news struck like a thunderbolt over Mingdu.
"Money guzzler?"
Xu Tianran pondered the name repeatedly: "Could we learn the truth about Shrek Academy's destruction from him?"
Shadow Douluo shook his head: "According to the information I received from Xu He, Qian Duoduo announced her withdrawal from the academy during the Soul Master Competition."
"The reason is that his wife, Xianlin'er, died in the Star Dou Great Forest. He knew that Shrek Academy was powerless to avenge Xianlin'er at that time, so he chose to leave the academy and go overseas to find Seagod Island, Shrek Academy's ally from ten thousand years ago."
"But he lost his way at sea and was saved by the three brothers Zhong Tian, Zhong Di, and Zhong Ren, which allowed him to survive."
"The three Zhong brothers are said to be graduates of Shrek Academy. When the three brothers join forces, they can even hold their own against a Super Douluo for a while."
"In the Sun Moon Empire, apart from Elder Kong, the Master of the Red Dust Hall, and the five great protectors, no one can withstand the combined might of these three brothers for long."
"Later, Qian Duoduo had no choice but to return to Shrek City, only to find the ruins of Shrek Academy."
"Currently, the only country on the continent capable of rivaling the Heavenly Soul Empire is our Sun Moon Empire, which is why he came to seek refuge with a former student of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy."
Xu Tianran's eyes narrowed into slits.
He wasn't afraid that Qian Duoduo would join Xu He, an eighth-level Soul Master at the Title Douluo level, whom he didn't even consider worthy of his attention.
However, he was afraid that Qian Duoduo knew something about the Shrek Academy's martial soul system and would use that as a reason to win over Lin Yi.
Without the worry of needing elixirs, Lin Yi's Soul Master talent could be fully unleashed through Qian Duoduo and the three brothers.
With both Soul Master and Soul Instructor advancements, Xu Tianran feared that the young Lin Yi might not be able to resist such temptation.
If Lin Yi chooses to publicly support Xu He, then the Evil Monarch Soul Master Group and the Hall of Worship will likely side with Xu He.
Xu Tianran suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
He sent Shadow Douluo to the Hall of Worship to promote Lin Yi, hoping that the princes would resent him because they couldn't win over Lin Yi.
At this point, Xu Tianran could use Orange, or even Meng Hongchen of the Hongchen family, to tie Lin Yi to his own warship.
But now that Qian Duoduo has joined him, Xu Tianran suddenly feels that his previous arrangements might be futile and benefit Xu He.
Thinking of this, a shadow fell over Xu Tianran's eyes.
He absolutely cannot let the situation he has painstakingly built be ruined by a sudden appearance of someone with money.
Killing Qian Duoduo is not difficult; the difficult ones are the three Zhong brothers.
Xu Tianran tapped his fingers lightly on the wheelchair as he began to think of a solution.
If Qian Duoduo doesn't handle things properly, Xu and his own power could really rise up.
