Niu Tian smiled lightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wutong, I'm glad you're awake. Your father is busy, so we can only take care of you."
The girl nodded slightly and said, "I don't care about him. It's good to be busy. No one will care if I go out to play by myself."
Niu Tian smiled and gestured: "Go see your Uncle Titan."
"it is good."
The girl nodded, tidied her long hair, and jumped off the bed lightly.
Divine Council.
Tang San, who was debating in a deep voice with the God of Destruction, was suddenly stunned and frowned.
The God of Destruction said coldly: "Sea God, what's wrong with you? Don't you know that you are making excuses and can't refute me?"
Tang San concentrated and sensed it, but didn't seem to find anything unusual.
Is it an illusion?
His eyes flashed, and he looked at the God of Destruction again.
"God of Destruction, the reason you just mentioned..."
Sun and Moon Empire, Xishan.
Huo Yuhao, who was walking on the ruins of West Mountain, suddenly felt his body shaken. He shouted subconsciously, staggered and almost fell, scaring Huo Qiuer who was standing next to him.
"what happened to you?"
"it's okay no problem."
Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hands and asked in the sea of spirit: "Master Yin?"
Tian Meng was laughing on the snow with an octagon on his head. When he saw Yin Lex's strange behavior, he asked hurriedly, "Wow, old man, are you okay?"
Yin Lex's body suddenly became extremely illusory in an instant, as if it was almost transparent.
Yin Lex made a weak sound and shook his head, saying, "The intense consumption over the past few days has been a bit too much for this old man. I will return to the undead demiplane and fall into a deep sleep for a while."
"Then have a good sleep, old man..." Tian Meng said foolishly.
First, he went through Qiankun Wenqing Valley's efforts to break the impasse, and then he summoned the powerful dragon soul of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Yin Lex fell into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption, which did not arouse her suspicion.
The Two Ice and Snow Emperors and Huo Yuhao felt that there was something else going on, because they seemed to find Yin Laix's smile a little... cunning?
Yin Lex stood quietly on the black land of the undead demiplane, looking into the distance, and spoke slowly to someone who did not exist.
"Let me guess, who is the child you sent to get close to Yuhao to you?"
"That kind of soul-to-soul homology, could she be your blood relative, your daughter?"
"You are indeed very powerful, but I am not someone who will not take revenge."
"Hahaha……"
"Don't worry, I won't kill her. You will definitely find out if I do that. Besides, I don't want to do anything to a little girl now. But you will definitely not like the result."
"Hahaha……"
……
Haotian Castle.
"Wutong, are you really planning to go to Shrek Academy?" Titan laughed.
"Yes, it's the best college in the continent. I'll go and see it no matter what I say."
The girl with pale blue hair nodded.
Tai Tan said mysteriously: "But to join Shrek Academy, the requirements are very high."
As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of dragon wings opened behind the girl, and a total of six black soul rings lit up behind her.
"With my current strength, it is an honor for Shrek to join."
Niu Tian smiled and said, "Wait until you get the seventh soul ring before going."
"Can't we go now?" the girl said dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, okay, let's go now. We will make arrangements with Shrek." Niu Tian felt a little defeated by her and could only agree helplessly.
"Then I'm going to go down the mountain to play first, and I'll go to Shrek Academy by myself in a few days."
"Go."
Niu Tian and Tai Tan waved goodbye to the girl with long pink and blue hair.
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go back and have a drink."
"Okay, big brother."
The two brothers returned to Haotian Castle. Titan drank a pot of wine in one breath and looked at Niu Tian in confusion, who was holding the wine bowl and remaining silent.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Is it because of Wutong and Dong'er? We are just following orders, so take it easy."
Niu Tian exhaled lightly, drank the wine in the bowl, and said indifferently.
"nothing."
"drink wine."
Countless complex emotions and struggles intertwined together, and finally turned into one word: "drink".
The girl walked down the mountain alone, ignoring all the scattered Haotian Sect disciples around her.
Her steps became faster and faster, as if she was fleeing in a hurry from the place she once called home.
Finally, there was no one around and the sea of clouds was vast. The girl could no longer hold back her tears and cried out in confusion and grief.
"Big Daddy, Second Daddy, I'm not Wu Tong..."
"I am Dong'er..."
Chapter 420 I want to steal the country!
Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Palace.
In the magnificent hall, the person sitting on the luxurious dragon throne was no longer the Crown Prince Xu Tianran who was in charge of state affairs, but the original old emperor.
He twirled his beard with his hand, looked down at the hall with a smile, and accepted the worship of civil and military officials. He looked like a kind and wise king in his old age, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was already terminally ill.
In fact, the old emperor's health was already very poor, but in front of all the officials, he still had to maintain a calm image.
There are many people in the court today, including civil and military officials, prime ministers, princes and nobles, all lined up in an orderly manner. The lower-ranking officials kneel at the back, while the higher-ranking princes, princes, dukes, and servants sit in the front and have the privilege of not kneeling.
At the front of all the officials were Xu Tianran, several princes and several other relatives, who were standing slightly closer to each other according to their respective factions.
Xu Tianran was still sitting in the wheelchair, with Juzi on his right, and behind him standing the Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen and his sister.
There was only one person who was qualified to stand beside the old emperor, and even the old emperor treated him with respect, and that was Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming.
Jing Hongchen had obviously lost a lot of weight. The destruction of Mingde Hall was too much of a blow to him. After the competition, he immediately devoted all his energy to the reconstruction work.
A cloud of gloom covered his heart.
Karma is a cycle, and the destruction of Mingde Hall may be attributed to his choice back then, but it is meaningless to argue about right or wrong now.
The only thing to be thankful for is that although Mingde Hall was destroyed, most of the talented people survived.
However, many important data and experimental plans were not preserved or transferred in time and were directly burned in the explosion.
This includes Plan No. 1, which Mingdetang has been researching for many years and has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
The experimental subjects and experimental data are all gone. The excavation of the ruins has been completed, but nothing has been found.
There are still many secret studies that have to start from scratch. Mingde Hall's research on soul guide technology will be stagnant for at least ten years.
After learning about this, Crown Prince Xu Tianran gave great support to Jing Hongchen and took on a lot of pressure for him in front of the old emperor.
Jing Hongchen sighed in his heart. Now the Hongchen family had to stand on Xu Tianran's side.
But he also knew in his heart that Xu Tianran did this only because he saw that he and the Hongchen family still had value. Once Xu Tianran completely controlled Mingdetang, he, Jing Hongchen, would probably be the first to be abandoned.
However, Jing Hongchen had no choice at the moment. The power controlled by Xu Tianran had completely overwhelmed the other princes.
Behind Jing Hongchen, the Hongchen brothers and sisters all had solemn expressions. Even if they were geniuses who stood out among their peers, they dared not hide their pride in such an occasion.
The court is not a competition stage, but the tense atmosphere and solemn feeling around it are far beyond the reach of the Soul Master Competition arena.
Everyone listened carefully to the words of an old man in front of the dragon throne.
He was a ninth-level soul guide and a close confidant of the old emperor. The decree he conveyed now represented the old emperor's entire attitude.
The ninth-level soul master announced in a loud voice: "This year's All-Continent Youth Soul Master Elite Competition has come to a successful conclusion in Mingdu. The young talents of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy defeated powerful enemies during the competition and won the championship, ending the legend of Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year championship."
"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has made great contributions in defending the glory of the Sun Moon Empire. Dean Jing Hongchen is named Grand Duke, Sun Moon Team Captain Xiao Hongchen, and Vice Captain Meng Hongchen are named Marquis. Receive your rewards."
“I hope the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will achieve more success and continue to defend the glory of the Sun Moon Empire.”
After the rewards were bestowed, not only Jing Hongchen and his sister, but all the officials in the court also cheered together.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise."
The Hongchen brothers and sisters thanked the Lord for his grace, but they hid the resentment and anger in their eyes very well.
What kind of honor is this?
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Sun and Moon Team's championship was simply an easy win.
The three games after entering the quarterfinals all ended in a hurry. The Sun Moon Team didn't play a single game. Such a championship was not glorious at all. The two captains didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.
Shrek Academy, Body Sect, Huo Yuhao... He didn't meet any of the opponents that Xiao Hongchen thought were worthy of fighting and taking seriously, and the competition ended in a mess.
As the captain and the chosen one of heaven, he was not happy at all and only felt endlessly frustrated.
Not only the Hongchen siblings, but all the civil and military officials and the people of Mingdu also thought so, but no one in the court dared to raise any objection.
The old emperor was reporting good news but not bad news, praising peace and making great statements about the outcome of the game.
Although he is old, few officials have forgotten that this king is as ruthless as the current Crown Prince.
After the thanks were over, the ninth-level soul engineer paused and began to announce the second item.
"From now on, the Minister of the Interior will oversee the construction of the Sun and Moon Temple."
