Chapter 621 Borrowing Brother Long to Set the Stage
"That useless young master of the Shen family?" Mu Xue murmured these words softly, then realized, "That illegitimate son of the Shen family?"
The Shen family's affair caused quite a stir back then, and even became a topic of gossip among the residents of Tiandou City.
As an elite member of the Snow Demon Sect, Mu Xue was somewhat aware of the truth behind that incident.
"That's right, Miss Luo wouldn't easily step into Tiandou City. She must have something important to discuss with her!" Vina said.
The royal family has secret guards who keep a close watch on the powerful families of Tiandou City and Wucheng, and they will report any suspicious activity.
"The Shen family? That Taoist priest Shen Tuo?" Du Busi said thoughtfully.
"Master, it is Prime Minister Shen, and that useless young master of the Shen family, Shen Ciyuan," Long Aotian reminded him.
"Oh, so that's the son of the guy who was kicked out of his house by the old man. What happened? Did he come back to seek revenge on the old man?" Poisonous Death became interested.
He enjoys watching fights and watching the excitement; he never thinks things are getting out of hand.
"Shen Ciyuan and Luo Xinyao were Ye Nanxiao's classmates when they were in the outer academy, and they had a pretty good relationship. So I guess Ye Nanxiao wants to help Shen Ciyuan and Luo Xinyao," Vina said confidently.
Long Aotian clenched his fist slightly. "He's trying to win me over to his side!"
"It seems that this soul tool is the bargaining chip for the young sect master in this transaction," Elder Jin said, shaking his head.
"No way, do you think they can scheme against my Body Sect?" Poison Undying said.
To think that he, a powerful and influential figure who once dominated the continent, would lend his support to a cunning young man and his old rival.
Doesn't this mean he compromised with Xuanzi?
Does his original form, Douluo, still have any dignity?
When Du Busi denied it, the elders dared not speak again, even though they felt the matter was still controversial.
Looking at the charged crossbow, Long Aotian felt a little sentimental. He hadn't expected that the technology of soul tools would develop so quickly, and that soul tools that did not rely on soul masters had already appeared.
Vina and Muxue exchanged a glance, realizing the incredible uses of this charged crossbow.
"Master, I think we can give this a try," Vina said, stepping forward.
"Since this soul tool doesn't require a soul master to inject soul power, it means that ordinary civilians can use it! It can even reduce military supply consumption by at least 30%!"
Currently, there are still ordinary civilians serving in the army. If these soldiers could also possess combat power and destructive force equivalent to that of a Soul Master, the army's combat strength would be greatly enhanced.
Furthermore, Vina also thought of a crucial issue: time. The fact that Ye Nanxiao could generously give Long Aotian a charged crossbow meant that he not only guessed the identity and status of the Body Sect, but also planned to vigorously develop other clients.
The Heavenly Soul Empire is not the only one on the continent; the neighboring Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling Empire are also vigorously developing their military strength.
If the other two great empires were to seize the initiative, the status of the Heavenly Soul Empire would plummet.
The continental war that broke out with the Sun and Moon Empire thousands of years ago taught Vina a lesson: weakness invites aggression.
"Master, I want to meet Ye Nanxiao. These soul tools are of great significance not only to the sect, but also to the empire!" Vina said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Du Busi fell silent for a moment. Personally, he had no intention of bowing down to Xuanzi and Shrek Academy, but Vina's words indicated that this soul tool would be of great benefit to both the sect and the empire.
The Body Sect is rooted in the Heavenly Soul Empire. If it weren't for the fact that Poison Undying was blacklisted by the continent, the Body Sect would have emerged long ago to intimidate other countries.
But the fist marks on his face still throbbed with pain, fueling the rage in Du Busi's heart.
Long Aotian was very familiar with Du Busi's temperament. Seeing Du Busi's uncertain expression, he immediately said, "Master, let me go. I am Vina's fiancé, and Ye Nanxiao is here for me."
Du Bu Si turned to look at Long Ao Tian, and after a moment, nodded.
Seeing this, Vina also spoke up, "Master, I will go with Aotian. There are royal retainers here, and this is Tiandou City, so there's no need to worry!"
Hearing Vina's confident words, Du Busi's agitated mood finally calmed down a lot.
Tiandou Plaza.
Ye Nanxiao stood at the edge of the square once again, silently gazing at the stone tablet.
Because of the changes that had occurred to the stone tablet, it was now surrounded by patrolling soldiers, and several elderly men with gray hair were constantly inspecting it.
"Why didn't you choose a better place?" Old Master Xuan said quietly.
"This place is very conspicuous, where else would we go?" Ye Nanxiao smiled, having removed his disguise mask to reveal his true face.
Elder Xuan glanced around and saw many frenzied people standing outside the encirclement.
Under the cover of Xuan Lao's soul power, the two of them stood openly in front of the patrolling soldiers.
"Only two out of the teams are equipped with soul tools, but the type and level of the soul tools are not high. Some of the guys even have their soul tools upside down. What do you think, Elder Xuan?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"This is the ancient capital of Tiandou, which has existed for thousands of years. It's normal for it to have a sense of history," Elder Xuan said, shaking his head slightly.
Ye Nanxiao gave a thumbs up, saying that Elder Xuan's answer was perfect.
Low emotional intelligence: This place is so backward
High emotional intelligence: This place has a strong sense of history.
Elder Xuan shook the wine jug and pulled a chicken leg from his robes. "You know anything about the Body Sect?"
"I know some things, but I'm not sure. The Heavenly Soul Royal Family may have some kind of cooperative relationship with the Body Sect," Ye Nanxiao said.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan looked thoughtfully in the direction of the Heavenly Soul Palace, thinking, "Could it be that old bastard Du Bu Si is under the protection of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family? But where does the Heavenly Soul Royal Family get the confidence to travel with Du Bu Si?"
Before he could think for long, Elder Xuan suddenly turned his head to look in another direction. "They're here."
Ye Nanxiao turned his head upon hearing the sound and saw an old woman dressed in ancient clothes flying over with a young couple, who were none other than Long Aotian and Vina.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Senior." Ye Nanxiao clasped his hands together and bowed slightly in greeting.
Vina and the other two first bowed to Elder Xuan, and then looked at Ye Nanxiao.
"Young Master Ye, there's no need for such formalities. Vina doesn't appreciate complicated etiquette. However, there's something I don't understand, and I hope Young Master Ye can enlighten me," Vina asked with a smile.
"What do you want to do?" Long Aotian asked directly, without any politeness.
"I have a friend who's run into some trouble, but I'm outnumbered and would like to ask Brother Long to help me out." Ye Nanxiao took out an envelope from his pocket and floated it toward Long Aotian.
Long Aotian grabbed the envelope, checked it, and handed it to Vina beside him. He glared at Ye Nanxiao, trying to intimidate him. Who did he think he was?
The latest novel is first published here!
Vina took the envelope and opened it; the contents of the paper froze the smile that had been on her face.
The envelope contained the following message: "To compensate for the delay in your cultivation and romance during these few days, I, in my capacity as the Vice Sect Master of the Tang Sect, hereby offer the following soul tools..."
Vina quickly read through the list of soul tools Ye Nanxiao mentioned. Many of them were soul tools she had never heard of before, which must be unique weapons of the Tang Clan. But hadn't the Tang Clan declined?
Until she saw the crooked little words below the last line: "All the above-mentioned charged soul tools are of the same type as the soul tools that Brother Long brought back."
Vina instantly recalled the excellent performance of the charged crossbow, her breathing quickened, and she looked up at Ye Nanxiao, asking, "Young Master Ye, is this true?"
"Of course, it also has my signature on it," Ye Nanxiao nodded and smiled.
Vina then realized that the thing in the bottom left corner that looked like a scribbled pattern was Ye Nanxiao's personal signature. She glanced at Ye Nanxiao, who looked like a banished immortal, and a strong sense of incongruity rose in her heart.
"I told you your handwriting was terrible, didn't I?" Elder Xuan laughed upon seeing this, having guessed the reason for Vina's strange expression from her reaction.
"What do you know? That's called wild cursive art!" Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes at Elder Xuan. His art was unique in the world!
"Vina?" Long Aotian asked his fiancée in a low voice.
Vina nodded emphatically at him.
"Okay, I agree. Are you going to take me to the Shen family?" Long Aotian asked.
"Brother Long is indeed clever. Let's talk as we walk so we can make it to dinner," Ye Nanxiao gestured.
"You don't mind if I come along, Young Master Ye?" Vina asked playfully.
"Your Highness, please come this way." Ye Nanxiao thoughtfully pulled out a parasol from behind his back and handed it to Long Aotian.
Shen family.
As Shen Tuo's first child, Shen He naturally received the family's upbringing and has now taken over some of Shen Tuo's rights, possessing the qualifications to manage some of the Shen family's businesses.
At the same time, Shenhe was also one of the proponents of strongly advocating cooperation and development with the Luo family, and even forming a marriage alliance.
"Young Master, the Luo family has arrived in their district. It seems they intend to oppose our district and go against the Shen family." A lean middle-aged man knelt before Shen He. He was Xiang Zhirong, the current steward of the Shen family.
"Luo family, has Yao Yao come?" Shen He casually toyed with the exquisite wine glass in his hand, his long hair loosely draped over his shoulders. His sculpted features earned him the title of handsome young master in Tian Dou City.
A hint of regret flashed in Xiang Zhirong's eyes as he said, "Miss Luo led the team herself, but Young Master Yuan was also among them, and it seems..."
Upon hearing this, Shenhe's expression turned cold, and he asked, "And what?"
"And she was traveling with Miss Luo, and they were even quite intimate!" Xiang Zhirong said, bowing his head deeply, pretending to be sad for his master.
"Snapped!"
Veins bulged on Shenhe's forehead as he crushed the wine cup in his hand, flicked his robes, and stood up, unleashing a powerful surge of soul energy that shattered all the furniture in the hall.
"My bastard 'brother' is back. How can I, as the elder brother, not go to greet him?" Shenhe's tone was gentle, but it concealed a surging murderous intent.
"Young Master, should this old servant take some men over there?" Xiang Zhirong said hurriedly.
"Take this with you, come with me, and prepare a gift that I want to give to Yao Yao myself." Shenhe laughed wildly.
Shen Ciyuan, Shen Ciyuan, how dare you, a piece of trash, stand beside Yao Yao?
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhirong lowered his head deeply, sighing inwardly, "Young Master Yuan, you shouldn't have come back at this time!"
