Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

"Let's go into the city."

Looking at the silver-covered Xingluo City, Dai Yao said in a deep voice. Walking through the shallow snow, Zhu Zhuqing and Feng Wutong slowly walked into Xingluo City.

As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo did not have to hide his existence. After notifying the Star Luo Empire, he was personally welcomed in by the royal family. As for Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, Bai He and others, they hid their identities and entered the Star Luo Empire.

Although the Star Luo royal family has more control over Star Luo City than any other city, the defense of Star Luo City is not monolithic. Under the mediation of Wuhun Palace and Qibao Glazed Sect, some greedy guards acted as Dai Yao's internal collaborators and let the people from Qinglian Sect in.

These defenses will inevitably be exposed, but during the period before they were exposed, Dai Yao had already left the Star Luo Empire.

After strict inspection by the soldiers, Dai Yao, Zhu Zhuqing, and Feng Wutong passed through the long corridor of the city wall. As the light returned to the field of vision, Xingluo City came into view, and Dai Yao felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. His body gradually began to tremble.

Memories that have faded keep flashing back in my mind.

The entire Xingluo City brought him nothing but pain.

A pair of soft jade hands gently touched Dai Yao's fist. Dai Yao turned around and saw Zhu Zhuqing smiling sweetly.

"Brother Yao, don't worry, I'll be with you."

Dai Yao stroked Zhu Zhuqing's long, silk-like hair and smiled softly. On the side, Feng Wutong stood beside Dai Yao calmly.

The annoyance in Dai Yao's heart was swept away, and he pulled the two girls towards the pre-arranged place.

Not long after, the three of them came to a teahouse. After Dai Yao walked in, he said a few code words to the shop owner, and the shop owner personally led the way and took the three of them to a dark room.

In the dark room, Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Bai He had been here long ago, waiting for Dai Yao's arrival, but everyone frowned. Hearing the noise outside the door, the three of them were alert at first, and then relaxed after seeing Dai Yao.

As for Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin, under the arrangement of the Xingluo Royal Family, they stayed in the Xingluo Royal Family's hotel. This is Dai Yao's bright card, using Dugu Bo to find out information about the Xingluo royal family.

"Three elders, why do you look so depressed? What happened?"

Seeing the expressions of the three elders, Dai Yao smiled and asked.

The three of them looked at each other, Yang Wudi clasped his hands and said, "Old Rhino, please tell me."

Niu Gao nodded, glanced at Dai Yao, and then said in a deep voice:

"Sect Master, after arriving in Xingluo City, under the investigation of the sect disciples, we discovered a very strange thing."

The three of them sat down and Dai Yao asked calmly:

"whats the matter?"

Niu Gao explained: "You came to the Star Luo Empire this time to save Prince Hengyu, but as far as we know, Prince Hengyu is still in the Star Luo Royal Academy and can still move around freely. It seems that he is not subject to any restrictions. .So, the three of us discussed it here for a long time and came up with a guess."

Niu Gao's words set off a storm in Dai Yao's heart. If his uncle was not restricted from freedom, what about the so-called execution?

He suppressed the fear in his heart, maintained a calm expression on his face, and asked:

"Elder, please tell me your speculation."

Niu Gao took a deep breath, met Dai Yao's gaze, and said in a deep voice:

"Sect Master, please forgive us for being presumptuous. What we say next may offend you, but please forgive me. We discussed it all night and came to the possible conclusion that Prince Hengyu is deliberately attracting you back. As a bait for the Star Luo Empire, Prince Hengyu has already betrayed you..."

Dai Yao's eyes flickered, he waved his hand, and said deeply:

"Needless to say, I already understand what you mean. Your speculation is indeed reasonable, but I believe that Uncle Hengyu will not betray me."

Niu Gao wanted to say something more, but he closed his mouth under Dai Yao's sharp gaze.

On the side, Bai He glanced at Niu Gao and immediately interjected:

"Sect Master, people will change. I wonder if you have ever thought that the relationship between you and Prince Hengyu has changed after being separated for so long. This mission is related to the lives of the five hundred soul masters in the sect. Life, please think twice."

Dai Yao was trembling in his heart. The guesses of the three elders were reasonable, but he didn't want to believe it. Back then, if Uncle Hengyu hadn't helped him, he would have had no chance of living.

Feeling the excitement in Dai Yao's heart, Zhu Zhuqing and Feng Wutong looked at each other, and immediately held Dai Yao's hands, trying to give him strength.

Yang Wudi was straightforward and said directly:

"Sect Master, I won't beat around the bush. The matter is urgent now. You must have a plan. Should you save Prince Hengyu or not? If so, how to save him? If not, should we go back or help you get revenge? Star Luo royal family?”

Dai Yao fell into silence. After a moment, he raised his head, scanned the faces of the three elders, and slowly said:

"Don't worry, elders, I will give you a satisfactory answer. I will go see Prince Hengyu in person and ask him what's going on? Only then can I make the next plan."

Hearing this, Niu Gao immediately said anxiously:

"Sect Master, no! If anything happens..."

Although Niu Gao didn't say it, Dai Yao already understood what he wanted to say. If Uncle Hengyu really betrayed him, wouldn't he have thrown himself into a trap? He will be trapped in a tight siege, but no one can save him.

On the side, Zhu Zhuqing and Feng Wutong couldn't help but grasp Dai Yao's hand.

Dai Yao smiled and patted his two jade hands gently to tell them not to be nervous. He looked at the worried faces of the three and said with a smile:

"Elders, don't be nervous. I am not a fool and will not put myself in danger. Don't worry, there is no danger this time."

Everyone was doubtful, but Dai Yao's words were still quite convincing, so everyone still chose to believe him.

······

Star Luo Royal Academy, in a teaching building.

In the spacious teaching hall, a burly middle-aged man was flipping through books and teaching the basic knowledge of soul masters to the children below.

Suddenly, a strange man came outside the teaching hall and greeted the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was a little confused because he didn't know this person, but the stranger kept gesturing for him to get out. He frowned and asked the children to study by themselves, then walked outside the door, looked at this strange guy, and asked in a deep voice:

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"

His voice was very powerful, as deep as a lion.

The stranger did not answer the middle-aged man's question. Instead, he handed the middle-aged man a note.

There was only one line written on the note: Today at Xu Shi, White Tiger Hotel, Wangyue Waterfall.

The White Tiger Hotel has long been famous throughout the Star Luo Empire. It is named after the White Tiger, and its relationship with the White Tiger family goes without saying. Mochizuki Waterfall refers to a room in the hotel.

After reading the note, the middle-aged man frowned deeper and asked:

"What exactly do you mean? Tell me clearly!"

The stranger smiled and said: "Your old friend is waiting for you here. I hope you will come to your appointment on time."

"Old friend? Who is it? Tell me clearly! If you don't tell me clearly, I won't go!"

The middle-aged man said angrily. This person pretended to be a ghost again and again, which really made him a little disgusted.

The stranger sighed softly and said:

"Friend, some things are not suitable to be explained clearly. As for who it is, isn't there already an answer on the note? As for whether you can see him or not, that's your business. That person finally came back, so you'd better go and see him. one sight."

Immediately, he said no more and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man stared blankly at the guy's leaving figure, and for a moment, he fell into huge doubts.

"White Tiger Hotel, Moon Falls. Moon Falls, waterfalls..."

Thinking of this, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a waterfall flowing down reappeared in his mind.

······

Xu Shi, White Tiger Hotel. Looking at the magnificent and dazzling hotel, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a little confused. As a civilian, he had never been to such a place. After calming down, he told the waiter the name of the room. Immediately, under the leadership of the waiter, the middle-aged man bypassed many courtyards and came to a secluded place.

Opening the door, a rockery comes into view, with an artificial waterfall flowing down. The bright moon in the sky reflects the waterfall. It is exactly like the name of this villa, Wangyue Waterfall.

Passing around the screen formed by the rockery, a wide courtyard comes into view.

In the middle of the courtyard, there is a set of stone tables and chairs. On the stone chairs, a man and two women are sitting. The man has blond hair, which is particularly dazzling in the dark night.

The faces of the two women were covered with gauze, so their appearance could not be clearly seen. However, judging from their elegant figures, they must be women of natural beauty.

Looking at the middle-aged man who finally came, Dai Yao smiled and said:

"You are finally here, Brother Nantian."

The person who came was none other than Ye Nantian, who was once one of the "four people not to be messed with" at Xingluo Royal Academy.

Ye Nantian stared blankly at the man in front of him. The contours of his face could still be vaguely distinguished. He walked closer and looked at Dai Yao carefully for a few times. Finally, he confirmed Dai Yao's identity and punched him. He hit Dai Yao on the chest and said excitedly:

"Dai Yao, it's really you!"

However, this fist hit Dai Yao's chest, as if hitting an iron block, and he let out a muffled groan. Feeling the pain in his hands, Ye Nantian took a breath of cold air. He was an attack-type soul master at the soul king level. How strong was Dai Yao's current body? !

"Sure enough, he lived up to his reputation. He led a little-known team back then to defeat the golden generation of Wuhun Palace and won the championship of the Mainland Soul Master Competition."

"I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing you today, I really believe it. How on earth do you practice?!"

Dai Yao smiled, but it was hard to answer. A large part of his abilities came from Chaos Qinglian. If it was with other people, he wouldn't mind telling lies, but in front of Ye Nantian, he was unwilling to tell lies.

"Don't ask me, I want to ask you, you were the top student in Xingluo Royal Academy back then, how come you are now a teacher?"

Dai Yao asked with a smile.

Ye Nantian sighed quietly, drank all the wine on the table, and waited for the spicy taste to rise in his throat before he slowly said:

"You also know that I am a civilian soul master. A noble person like you will not understand the difficulties of a civilian soul master."

"Without a backer, it's difficult to move forward on this continent. Among civilian soul masters, I can be considered a genius. But if I don't join the forces of noble soul masters, then I can never hope to get their help. Of course. When I graduated and left the academy, I had to start coming to terms with reality.”

"Without the help of powerful people, I won't be able to get training resources, and even soul rings and soul bones can only be used make-shift. I want to get help from those nobles, but the conditions of those guys are difficult for me to accept."

"They asked me to join their family and become their servant."

After hearing what Ye Nantian said, Dai Yao fell into silence.

Indeed, without the help of a strong person, ordinary soul masters would never be able to obtain the soul ring they want. Isn't that what I was like back then? I tried my best and fought to the death to get the first soul ring.

Don't be misled by Shrek Academy, which considers itself a civilian in the original book. None of them are real civilians, either with noble status or with extraordinary talents. Let me ask them which soul ring they obtained through their own strength? Ye Nantian might have been able to get help from the college when he was a student, but after graduation, the college would not care about them.

Dai Yao could imagine how much hardship Ye Nantian, a proud man like him, had to go through in the society before he chose to return to Xingluo Royal Academy and become a teacher.

"Brother Nantian, you have worked really hard for so many years."

Ye Nantian laughed:

"You can't say that, but I have figured it out now. Now that I am a teacher in the college, I will help those civilian students, let them obtain the soul rings that are most suitable for them, and unite them. One day, we civilian souls will Masters can help each other and no longer be threatened by those nobles!"

In a daze, Dai Yao saw the once high-spirited Ye Nantian again.

Although Ye Nantian's ideas are still very naive, there are some things that you know the answer to, and you have to do them so that you will have no regrets.

Dai Yao raised his glass and gave a toast.

While the two were chatting, Zhu Zhuqing picked up the wine pot and filled the two with wine.

Ye Nantian finally came to his senses, looked at the two veiled women, and asked Dai Yao:

"Who are these two?"

Dai Yao smiled: "These two are your acquaintances."

Zhu Zhuqing took off her veil, revealing her peerless face, and chuckled:

"I am Zhuqing."

On the other side of Dai Yao, Feng Wutong also took off her veil and said with a smile:

"Why, Brother Nantian, have I forgotten you?"

Ye Nantian was a little surprised at first. Zhu Zhuqing had become so beautiful after not seeing him for several years. When he heard this familiar tone, he immediately turned his eyes. When he saw Feng Wutong's appearance clearly, his eyes widened.

"You...are you Wutong?! Are you still alive? Did you really go to find Dai Yao? Also, how did you become like this?"

Back then, Feng Wutong went to the Tiandou Empire alone. He thought that Feng Wutong had died on the way, but he didn't expect to meet him in such a place.

After many years of separation, Feng Wutong is completely different from when he was in the Star Luo Empire. There is a huge difference. The nobility that was faintly revealed on his body now made him afraid to get close.

Feng Wutong couldn't help but look at Dai Yao tenderly and said with a smile:

"Brother Nantian, it's a long story at this point. He didn't lie to me. He saved my life and completely eliminated the side effects of my martial arts. Because of this, my appearance has also changed drastically."

Seeing Feng Wutong's behavior, Ye Nantian was shocked again and said in disbelief:

"Dai Yao, Wutong, you two are together? What about Zhuqing?"

Feng Wutong wanted to explain, but Dai Yao stopped her and explained to Ye Nantian:

"They are all my wives."

Ye Nantian was stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to allow another woman to be around Dai Yao. However, he was also happy for Feng Wutong.

"That's good. We all saw Wutong's feelings back then. It's just a difference in status, so we can't say anything. Now that lovers are getting married, we have to worry about it."

Ye Nantian thought sadly.

Dai Yao straightened his expression, then wiped the Ruyi Treasure Bag with one hand, took out a red soul bone from it, placed it on the stone table, handed it to Ye Nantian, and said solemnly:

"Brother Nantian, this soul bone is the ten thousand-year red flame tiger soul bone, which is very suitable for your black armored mad lion martial spirit. After absorbing it, your strength will be greatly improved."

This red flame tiger soul bone was given to Dai Yao by Dean Jackson of Oakland College. However, Dai Yao did not like this ten thousand year soul bone, so he did not absorb it. At that time, after he received the soul bone, he decided to give it to Ye Nantian in return for his guidance.

Ye Nantian stared straight at the red flame tiger soul bone, his Adam's apple rolling. After struggling in the world of soul masters for so many years, he certainly understood how precious the soul bone was, but just because it was precious, he couldn't accept it.

He looked at the soul bone with nostalgia, suppressed his heavy breathing, and said:

"Dai Yao, this soul bone is too precious, I can't accept it."

After saying that, he was about to push the soul bone to Dai Yao. Dai Yao refused to give in and continued to push it to Ye Nantian, saying in a deep voice:

"Brother Nantian, if it weren't for your guidance back then, I would have died on the duel field long ago. I can't forget the kindness of your guidance back then. Do you think this soul bone is more important than my life? ?”

Ye Nantian smiled helplessly.

At that time, he only gave advice to Dai Yao at the invitation of Feng Wutong, and it was just an unintentional intervention, and it did not have any decisive effect. But Dai Yao said such serious words, and he was extremely eager for this soul bone. He swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth and said:

"In that case, I'll accept it shamelessly."

Seeing Ye Nantian accept it, Dai Yao smiled, understood the grudges of the past, sorted out his mood, and immediately asked the purpose of this time:

"Brother Nantian, I actually have something to ask you this time. You are from Xingluo Royal Academy, so you should know about Prince Hengyu. It is said that he can move around freely in the academy now. I want to know if it is true. of?"

Ye Nantian was stunned, met Dai Yao's gaze, was silent for a moment, and said:

"You heard it right. Prince Hengyu can move around freely in the academy, or in other words, he is not restricted at all. In fact, he has been waiting for you, waiting for you to see him..." (End of chapter)
