Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 299: The favor is written off, Xue Xing's uncle and nephew are grounded
"Any last words?" Chen Lei approached them step by step.

Out of fear, Prince Xuexing stood there in a daze, unable to move.

Facing a powerful Soul Douluo, how could he resist with his limited strength? Moreover, he had been a good-for-nothing for too long, and apart from his soul power level, he did not have much fighting power.

Chen Lei couldn't really kill the other party. According to the agreement, she needed to make a big fuss about the matter, preferably one that everyone in the city knew about.

Therefore, she deliberately slowed down her pace and waited for people to come out to rescue Xue Xing's uncle and nephew.

Soon, a stern voice came from behind her, "Stop, this is Tiandou City, under the feet of the emperor, how dare you act so recklessly."

The first person to arrive was not Dugu Bo, but the Tiandou City Guards.

Xue Xing seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and shouted like a madman: "Quick, catch this crazy woman, she wants to kill me!"

The captain of the city guard team was shocked when he heard this.

Xue Xing is a prince of the empire. If he is killed, the whole Tiandou City will be in panic! Moreover, their team is likely to be held accountable.

Without time to think, the city guards quickly protected Prince Xuexing behind them and confronted Chen Lei.

"Senior, you are a powerful Soul Douluo, but you committed an assassination. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Tiandou Empire?" The captain of the city guard said in a deep voice.

Chen Lei laughed in anger, "I am going to assassinate this prince? Haha, why don't you ask him why these people on the ground died and why I want to kill him!"

Prince Xuexing has always had a bad reputation. Upon hearing this, the captain of the city guard roughly understood the reason.

It was highly likely that Xue Xing wanted to attack this strong man, but ended up kicking the steel plate and was nearly killed.

"This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make the decision. I will report it to His Majesty, and His Majesty will make the final decision. If what you said is true, His Majesty will give you a satisfactory answer."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Take His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince away and wait for His Majesty's decision."

Doing so is essentially also to protect the safety of both people.

However, how could Chen Lei let them do as they wished?

The scimitar in his hand flew out, blocking their retreat.

"You can go, but this prince and this prince cannot. I am here to attend an academic exchange conference. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect promised to protect our safety, but something like this happened today. I want to ask for an explanation."

The captain of the city guard suddenly felt the situation was difficult.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is a sect that protects the country and must not be offended.

Prince Xuexing could do anything else, but he had to pick on such a tough guy. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Seeing the situation escalate, the captain of the city guard left a few people to look after Xue Xing's uncle and nephew, and then quickly took people to the palace and the prince's mansion to report.

Prince Xue Xing knew very well that once Xue Qinghe and Xue Ye heard about this, he would be doomed.

Xue Qinghe and his cronies will definitely impeach him for this matter.

Under pressure, Xue Ye would definitely dismiss him from his post and put him under house arrest. By then, the uncle and nephew would have completely lost their competitiveness for the throne.

However, the empire had provoked a powerful soul fighter, and this person was invited by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to attend the academic exchange conference. This matter could never be easily exposed.

You know, the Tiandou royal family also attaches great importance to the academic exchange conference, and even decided to let Xue Qinghe go there in person to show their support.

This time, the relationship between the uncle and nephew and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was already bad, and now they were completely offended.

Just when Xue Xing looked as pale as death, a figure flashed and appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Dugu, please save me!"

Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo, so it would be great if he was willing to come forward to mediate this matter.

But Dugu Bo will not let him get it for free this time.

This game that Ning Tianchen had carefully designed must not be wasted.

Dugu Bo pretended to be on his side and spoke harshly to Chen Lei.

Chen Lei cooperated very well with him and put on a good show, "You are a Titled Douluo, how can you be so unreasonable! Haha, it's obviously Prince Xuexing..."

Her words caused Dugu Bo's attitude to "waver".

Moreover, Prince Xuexing did not make any excuses about this matter, so the other party must not have lied.

With a sigh, Dugu Bo said, "Your Highness, I have said that I can help you with some things without violating principles. But this matter has touched my bottom line. Please forgive me for not being able to intervene."

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

Xue Xing was completely panicked.

If he could handle this matter by himself, the punishment he received would be much lighter. But if he relied on the Empire to intervene, it would be a big trouble.

Even Xue Ye would give up on him completely!

"Uncle, please think of a solution quickly." Xue Beng was in a panic and kept urging him.

Chen Lei had a murderous look on her face. If Dugu Bo left, there was no guarantee that the other party would not do something extreme.

Xue Xing was extremely conflicted.

If he used this favor, Dugu Bo would definitely come out to help him. But after that, Dugu Bo would no longer pay attention to his dispatches in the future.

Of course, he was sad to lose Dugu Bo, but if he completely lost the chance to compete for the throne, Dugu Bo could only ensure their safe departure from Tiandou City. From then on, he would have to live in fear of Xue Qinghe for the rest of his life.

With this in mind, Prince Xuexing decided to give it a try. If he could settle the current situation, he would still have a chance to take the throne in the future.

"Mr. Dugu Bo, help me deal with that crazy woman, and all the favors between us will be written off!"

……

at the same time.

In front of the Prince's Mansion, the city guards quickly reported the situation to Xue Qinghe.

"Brother Tianchen, the fun is about to begin. I will go and handle the affairs first, and you return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect now. No one should suspect that you are involved in this matter." Xue Qinghe was in a very good mood.

Xue Ye intended to support Xue Ye to compete with him. His purpose was naturally to prevent all the court officials from turning to him and thus undermining the former's power.

After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and Xue Ye is older than Xue Qinghe. For the sake of their future careers, these officials will definitely try their best to curry favor with Xue Qinghe.

And supporting Xue Xing and Xue Beng is to send a signal to the outside world that the throne may not be inherited by Xue Qinghe.

Therefore, some ministers who are willing to take risks or want to get higher returns will choose to board Prince Xuexing's pirate ship. In this way, the forces in the court will restrain each other and achieve the balance that Xueye wants.

Now, Xue Ye's physical condition is getting weaker and weaker. This is his most sensitive period. Xue Qinghe must not use this incident to completely suppress Xue Xing's faction.

After explaining the pros and cons, Ning Tianchen said goodbye.

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "I really hope you can enter the court to assist me."

Ning Tianchen spread his hands, "You know, I'm not interested in the affairs of the court."

After saying this, he disappeared outside the Prince's Mansion.

Qingluan Douluo came to Xue Qinghe and said with a smile: "He is right. We can't rush this matter. We are getting closer and closer to our plan. We need to be cautious in all deployments."

the other side.

When Ning Fengzhi learned that the scholars attending the conference were attacked and killed by Prince Xuexing, he was immediately furious.

"Feng Zhi, Xue Xing is so bold, does he really think our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is just a decoration!" Gu Rong was about to rush into the palace to demand an explanation.

Chen Xin sneered, "Xue Xing is used to being arrogant and domineering, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself at this critical moment. I think he doesn't take the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect seriously at all, and he even wants to take this opportunity to test our attitude."

In their opinion, no one benefited from this incident. Therefore, they did not think that this was a conspiracy set up by someone secretly, but a sudden incident.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect attaches great importance to this academic exchange conference.

You know, once this conference is successfully held, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will be a beacon of the academic world in the future. The influence of the sect can even surpass the Haotian Sect at its peak.

Although a big tree attracts the wind, as long as this tree is big enough, the focus of the entire continent will fall on them, and the sect will no longer have to worry about being surrounded by major forces in the future.

Ning Fengzhi looked grim. "Uncle Gu, come with me to the scene. Uncle Jian, tell Uncle Ke to calm the other scholars down first. The sect will definitely give all the participating scholars a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

……

Hearing Prince Xuexing's words, Dugu Bo did not show any excitement on his face, but asked: "Your Highness, have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to use the favor this time?"

Xue Xing nodded heavily without hesitation.

If it is delayed any further, the matter will surely cause a great disturbance in the city. By then, the news that he broke the law knowingly will spread throughout the empire, causing public outrage, and Xue Ye will probably have to punish him severely.

After receiving a positive answer, Dugu Bo stood firmly in front of him, "My friend, I have some friendship with Ning Tianchen of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Can you please let this matter go for the sake of me and him?" Chen Lei sneered, "Who is Ning Tianchen! Does he have such a big face? Haha, Your Majesty is a Titled Douluo, even if I don't agree, what can I do!"

Dugu Bo said in a strong manner: "With this old man here, you can't do anything to His Royal Highness, no matter if you are willing or not!"

"Haha, you old poisoner, you are so arrogant that you actually dare to threaten the guests of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

A space wormhole opened in mid-air, and the figures of Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi slowly emerged.

Dugu Bo frowned.

He had no good feelings towards the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and only had a good relationship with Ning Tianchen.

Since Xue Xing had used favors, it was reasonable for him to protect the other party.

Dugu Bo was firm in his attitude, "Gu Douluo, Sect Master Ning, I will never go back on my words. This time, I will protect Prince Xuexing!"

Xuexing breathed a sigh of relief.

With this favor, Dugu Bo helped him resist the pressure from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Next, he apologized to Xue Ye, and this matter might be resolved.

"Master, when did the old poisonous creature become so tough? Did he have a deal with Prince Xuexing?" Gu Rong couldn't help but ask in a voice transmission.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

When Dugu Bo appeared in their field of vision, he was mixed with Prince Xuexing. It was not surprising that he was now standing up for the latter.

"Teacher, His Majesty the Bone Douluo, His Majesty the Poison Douluo, and this senior. It's so lively today." Xue Qinghe arrived at the scene with his guards.

Xue Ye had already known the news, but he had not taken any action, which made it clear that he wanted Xue Qinghe to come forward and resolve the matter.

Xue Qinghe is Ning Fengzhi's disciple, so the other party will more or less give him some face.

"Teacher, I already know about this matter. Can I take my uncle back to the palace first? Later, my father will definitely give the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect a satisfactory answer."

Ning Fengzhi did not refuse his face.

This matter could be big or small. If the Tiandou royal family could give a satisfactory answer, it would save him the trouble of making a trip to the palace.

"I wonder what this senior thinks?" Xue Qinghe looked at Chen Lei with a smile.

Chen Lei waved her hand. "Since you have expressed your opinion on this matter on behalf of the royal family, there is no reason for me to hold on to it. Haha, besides, I cannot afford to offend His Majesty's strength."

Since both parties had no objection, Xue Qinghe took Xue Xing and his nephew to the palace.

Gu Rong looked at Dugu Bo deeply and said helplessly: "Master, this old poisonous creature."

Ning Fengzhi said: "Forget it, after all, he is only protecting Prince Xuexing, and he has not touched our core interests. Besides, he has a good relationship with Tianchen, so there is no need for us to be enemies with him."

After saying that, the two left together.

Next, they need to wait for the royal response to appease the many scholars.

……

Tiandou Palace, in the Imperial Study Room.

Xue Ye was wearing a cloak and sitting at the desk, anxiously waiting for Xue Qinghe's decision.

The academic exchange conference was of great significance to the Tiandou Empire. This conference brought together scholars from the two empires, as well as major kingdoms, principalities, and even the Spirit Hall.

After this sign is released, the Tiandou Empire can also take the opportunity to shape Tiandou City into a city of soul master theory. In the future, it can attract more talents to join the Tiandou royal family.

But Xue Xing's disturbance not only brought shame to the Tiandou royal family, it also destroyed the layout of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

How can this be good?

Just as he was thinking about this, Xue Qinghe led Xue Xing and his nephew to the imperial study.

Before the meeting, Xue Qinghe specially changed the clothes for the emperor's younger brother. Otherwise, the smell on his body might have triggered Xue Ye again.

The uncle and nephew entered the imperial study, lowered their heads, and knelt down in front of Xue Ye.

Xue Ye was weak, so he took a few deep breaths and asked softly, "Qinghe, how is the situation going?"

Xue Qinghe said truthfully: "Because His Majesty Dugu insisted on protecting the uncle, the senior decided not to pursue the uncle's offense. However, the teacher needs to give a satisfactory answer. After all, the impact of this matter is very bad."

Xue Ye frowned and suddenly felt exhausted.

If the parties involved do not pursue the matter, the Tiandou royal family will not have to pay much. After the compensation is paid, a reasonable explanation must be given.

Prince Xuexing is Xue Ye’s brother, so it is reasonable for him to protect him.

But this matter concerns the empire and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and there must be no ambiguity.

After calming down, Xue Ye questioned, "Xue Xing, I asked you to teach Beng'er well, and this is how you taught him? You have caused so many troubles over the years, and you still don't know how to restrain yourself!"

Xue Xing lowered her head and dared not say a word.

After all, he had no reason to argue.

Xue Qinghe said, "Father, no one is perfect. My uncle's actions may not be his original intention. He must have been overwhelmed by the other party's actions. As for my brother, although he is a little naughty, his heart is not bad."

There were some surprises on a snowy night.

Logically speaking, the brothers were in a competitive relationship, so it was not wrong for Xue Qinghe to take advantage of the situation. Unexpectedly, he spoke for the other party.

When the second prince and the third prince died one after another, although Xue Ye did not find the murderer, all signs indicated that the deaths of these two people were most likely related to Xue Qinghe.

In order to protect her youngest son, Xue Ye doted on him very much, but she didn't expect that he would become such an uneducated guy.

The comparison between Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng's performance clearly shows who is better.

However, Xue Ye was very happy to see this scene of brotherly love and respect, whether it was sincere or false.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "You two will be fined for five years and hand over one million gold soul coins to pay compensation. In addition, you two will be confined to your respective homes for two years to see the effect!"

"Father, I know I was wrong. I will never cause trouble again. Please don't confine me."

Being confined at home means it is difficult to contact the outside world. Not being able to arrange the fight for the throne is a small matter, but the big issue is delaying fun.

Xue Xing did not object and accepted the punishment sincerely.

They were only confined to their respective houses. If they wanted to do something, they could just ask their subordinates to do it for them. Whether they could leave the house or not was not important at all.

As for the fine of one million gold soul coins, although it is a bit painful for them, they can still make up for it by using their savings over the years.

With such a light punishment, he had no reason to bargain, which would upset Xue Ye and might even increase their punishment.

At Xue Xing's signal, Xue Beng stopped making a scene, and the uncle and nephew accepted their punishment, then left the palace and returned to their respective residences.

On the way, Xue Beng was extremely anxious and whispered, "Uncle, I'm afraid my father's health won't last for two years. If we are confined to our homes, won't the throne be handed over to Xue Qinghe?"

Xue Xing shook her head, "No. My brother needs to give an explanation to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It is the attitude of the empire to confine us for two years. Wait until the academic exchange conference is over. If my brother is willing, he can use any excuse to reduce the time of our confinement."

"Besides, you and my trusted aides have not been dismissed, so we can move from the front stage to the backstage. In short, it won't be easy for Xue Qinghe to ascend the throne!"

After hearing this, Xue Beng was undoubtedly reassured and stopped making trouble.

……

The Tiandou Empire's handling results were quickly sent to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

With the royal family's attitude and the high compensation, Ning Fengzhi was very satisfied and took the opportunity to stabilize other scholars.

As for the compensation gold soul coins, all of them will be compensated to Chen Lei.

That night, Ning Fengzhi summoned Ning Tianchen and asked him to ask Dugu Bo why he helped Prince Xuexing.

After Ning Tianchen agreed, he immediately went to find Dugu Bo.

At this time, Dugu Bo was sitting on the roof of the villa, looking at the starry sky.

Feeling Ning Tianchen's aura, he smiled and said, "Thank you, little guy."

Having repaid a debt of favor, he had never felt so relieved.

Perhaps, this is what it means to be debt-free.

Ning Tianchen sat next to him: "Uncle Ning didn't find out that someone was behind this, so he kept it a secret."

Dugu Bo smiled and said, "I have offended Sect Master Ning today. You must help me to ask for mercy. Apart from owing favors, I can agree to everything else."

Ning Tianchen said unhappily, "How can I let you owe me another favor? Don't worry, I've already prepared an excuse. As for Senior Chen Lei, you don't have to worry, I've already talked to her about it."
