Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1307 Let's break out of prison!

"Why is there still homework?!"

Xu Tianzhen walked back to Kong Deming's laboratory with a sullen look on her face and picked up the homework gift bag that Kong Deming had prepared for her.

Kong Deming sat to one side, sipping tea. Seemingly sensing Xu Tianzhen's resentful gaze, the old man's composure crumbled, and he quickly shifted the blame, "This was all done according to the tutorial left by your master, little Tianzhen! Don't blame me, it's all your master's fault!"

Seemingly in an effort to shift the blame more completely, Kong Deming even produced the tutorial sheet left behind by Ye Nanxiao as proof.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tianzhen did not transfer her resentment as she had expected. Instead, she took the tutorial sheet and showed a complex expression of sadness and nostalgia on her face.

Seeing this, Kong Deming sighed.

Sorry?

He also felt regret.

Putting aside his own status, Ye Nanxiao was the junior he admired most, and he even wanted to pass on his mantle to Ye Nanxiao.

Although that brat doesn't seem to need it, it's his wish.

Xu Tianzhen looked at the familiar handwriting on the tutorial chart, her eyelids slightly lowered. She had already made up her mind to rescue her master and clear his name.

This is Princess Tianzhen's master!

Ye Yulin, still looking like a gossipy old man, watched the two of them looking sad, shook the melon seeds in his hand, and said, "Let me tell you, you two, one is a pioneer of soul tools who fears no one in the empire, and the other is a princess who fears neither heaven nor earth, why don't you just break them out of prison?"

"His Majesty? He's not here right now?"

"If we really wait for him to come back, the deed will be done!"

Kong Deming blew on his beard, annoyed. "You really are fearless!"

Ye Yulin was indeed fearless, not only because of his profound cultivation, belonging to the level of a Guardian Douluo, but also because all the high-altitude soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire were made by him alone.

If he's unhappy and quits picking up the mules, the Sun Moon Empire's defenses will be weakened by at least half.

Therefore, Xu Tianran could only put pressure on Kong Deming at most, and didn't dare to say anything harsh to Ye Yulin.

The Ming capital, which is said to not need city walls, relies on one of its defensive networks of high-altitude soul guides.

Ye Yulin, who is full of confidence but often teeters on the edge of courting disaster, prefers to be direct.

Let's break them out of prison!

Anyway, there aren't many capable fighters in the palace dungeon.

The best fighters are all sitting here drinking tea.

A sharp glint suddenly appeared in Xu Tianzhen's eyes.

This method doesn't seem to be a bad idea?

Kong Deming looked at the eager Xu Tianzhen and the roguish Ye Yulin, and rubbed his temples.

This is truly a case of one daring to speak and the other daring to act!

Taking out a ruler, Kong Deming lightly tapped Xu Tianzhen on the head to subdue this troublesome princess. He sighed and said, "Alright, you two, stop making things worse. That guy is living a very leisurely life now."

"No! Teacher! What if my master is persecuted in prison! When His Majesty was still alive, those guys wouldn't be so arrogant, but now Jing Hongchen is in charge of state affairs! Will he care?" Xu Tianzhen said.

"That kid is invulnerable to swords and spears, and he's a clone, what are you afraid of?"

Kong Deming really wanted to say that, but it wasn't that important.

That kid Ye Nanxiao is probably waiting for me to make a move.

"Alright, that kid will be fine."

He has even more troublesome things to worry about.

"I want to go see Master, is that alright?" Xu Tianzhen asked, her face showing a mixture of grievance and anticipation.

Kong Deming thought for a moment, then took out his token and handed it to Xu Tianzhen.

"Although I am no longer the Grand Master, I still have some influence."

He holds several titles, including Kong Deming, pioneer of soul tools, and imperial tutor.

How dare He Xun refuse to give him face?

"Tsk, Elder Kong, no offense, but how much face do you have now compared to wartime regulations? He Xun is a rigid man; he might actually dare to disrespect you, or even lie down at the door of your lab," Ye Yulin warned.

He Xun was able to stand out in the Sun Moon Court and become the Minister of Justice with Xu Tianran's backing, all because of his absolute loyalty to Xu Tianran.

They used to be wary of Kong Deming's status as a high-ranking official, but now...

Old Confucius, what other position do you hold?

Could anything be more powerful than Xu Tianran's orders?

Kong Deming remained silent.

Given his current status, He Xun certainly dared to directly stop Xu Tianzhen.

However, given his status, the loyal Minister He Xun would probably not stop this man from receiving his token.

Kong Deming then took out another token and handed it to Xu Tianzhen.

Ye Yulin glanced at it, her eyes widening. "Master Kong, how do you have the Imperial Preceptor's token?"

The current Imperial Advisor, Jing Hongchen, is a loyal subject who has pledged allegiance to Xu Tianran. To demonstrate his status as a member of the imperial family, he has arranged for his grandson, Xiao Hongchen, to marry Princess Zuo Jin of the Sun and Moon Royal Family.

It can be said that the Hongchen family, led by Jing Hongchen, has completely boarded Xu Tianran's big ship.

"Jing Hongchen, don't underestimate this old guy. He sees the true path very clearly," Kong Deming said, feigning profundity.

Xu Tianzhen looked at the Imperial Advisor token in her hand, then at Kong Deming, who stood with his hands behind his back and looked profound.

"So, Your Excellency the Imperial Preceptor is also a good friend of my master?"

Sun and Moon Palace, dungeon.

"I say, General, you keep your eyes closed all day, unable to sleep or cultivate. Why don't we have a chat?"

Xiao Ye No. 1 is holding a small cup in his hand, which he is using as a microphone.

The other end of the connection leads to the most sturdy cell in the dungeon.

The "dead" general.

Inside the prison, a small ice cup was stuck on the railing, constantly emitting the sound of "Little Leaf No. 1".

The general looked up at the small ice cup countless times, his fist clenching tightly beneath his prison uniform.

This person is so annoying.

"What exactly do you want?"

The general asked helplessly.

This person can talk nonstop; it's been going on for several days in a row.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Ye No. 1 chose the right time to speak instead of chattering all day long, the general might not have paid any attention at all.

"Hey, buddy, you've replied. My name is Ye Nanxiao. May I ask your name?"

"I have no name anymore."

"You can call me by a code name, I'll call you General, or you can call me God of Wealth."

The latest novel is first published here!

The general raised his head and looked down into the prison corridor.

"I suppose I know you."

Xiao Ye No. 1 was surprised that this general recognized him. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to get closer to him?

Unexpectedly, the general's next words turned Xiao Ye No. 1's expectant eyes into dead fish eyes.

"I've heard from people here that you're a... shrewd businessman."

Xiao Ye No. 1 really wanted to know if it was just a rumor spread by that old man Kong Deming, since he was clearly an honest entrepreneur!

"Fine, call me a shrewd businessman if you want, General, have you ever thought about this?"

"I'm no longer a general!"

The general, who had been speaking haltingly and seemingly weakly, suddenly shouted.

"Then I'll call you Dajun! Dajun, what do you think?"

With Ye Nanxiao's memories of his deceitful nature, Xiao Ye No. 1 quickly calmed down the general's anger.

Chat with them and cater to their interests.

The fact that this general has been imprisoned here for so long without any action being taken indicates what?

A super talent recognized by Xu Tianran!

Even if we can't get them, we are unwilling to let them go, and we are even more reluctant to destroy them!

Moreover, Xiao Ye noticed that Kong Deming knew this general.

This indicates that this person's status is at the very top of the Sun and Moon Dynasty.

General, realizing he couldn't stop Ye Nanxiao verbally or remove the ice cup that was transmitting the sound, closed his eyes and tried to chant an incantation in his mind to dispel the distracting thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye No. 1 changed the subject, "Da Jun, I heard you used to fight in wars. I have a little gadget here that's from my hometown, something used to help children develop their intelligence and simulate battles. Would you like to try it?"

"For children? Brain-boosting and intelligence-enhancing? Like war?"

The general didn't understand why these three things could be combined.

"This thing is simple and easy to use. I'll tell you, and you remember: the chessboard is square with horizontal and vertical lines."

As a cultivator, the general possessed a vast spiritual sea, and quickly formed a chessboard in his mind based on the information provided by Xiao Ye No. 1.

In the center of the chessboard, Xiao Ye No. 1 uttered the four large characters "Sun and Moon - Douluo".

The general immediately realized that he represented the Sun Moon Continent and the Sun Moon Empire, while Xiao Ye No. 1 belonged to the original continent, the Douluo Continent.

"The horse moves in an L-shape, the elephant flies across the field, and the cannon fires at the gap."

Each chess piece takes shape in the general's spiritual sea.

Xiao Ye No. 1's lips curled up slightly. The general was interesting. Then let's have a match on the chessboard.

Chess was a game he carefully selected.

The main advantage is that a game can last either long or short, unlike Go where a game can take too long.

The general listened attentively and, after trying it out himself, understood the rules.

His eyes, hidden beneath his disheveled hair, seemed to ignite, and a long-dormant surge of passion welled up in his chest.

"Kid! You've got guts!"

"Dare to fight me!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and place your bet! You're playing red, you're a newbie."

The general clicked his tongue, but since he was indeed a novice, he spoke first.

On the chessboard formed by the spiritual world, the general, trapped in shackles, once again experienced the thrill of commanding battles.

Although Xiao Ye No. 1 is not a terrible chess player, his chess skills are not particularly high.

Soon, the situation between the two sides began to reach a stalemate.

The general, leveraging his professional expertise and familiarity with the rules, caught up with them.

Xiao Ye No. 1 also felt the strain, as he was playing against a true general with a vast army.

The dungeon was instantly filled with a series of incantations.

The two jailers guarding the dungeon entrance rolled their eyes, covered their ears with their soul power, and fell asleep immediately.

They had no interest in listening to the two prisoners' conversation; if they weren't outmatched by Xiao Ye No. 1, they would have already pulled out their sticks and attacked.

At the dungeon entrance, a guard silently appeared. (End of Chapter)
