Douluo: The Pope at the beginning, suppressing Haotian

Chapter 51: The Handkerchief Embroidered with a Small Sword, the Duke of the Netherworld's Doubts

Coming back to her senses, little Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but step back timidly.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing who looked like a frightened little rabbit, Pei An didn't care.

Beside him, Ning Rongrong said in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid. The teacher is a very kind person."

Recalling what Pei An had just said, little Zhu Zhuqing mustered up a little courage, but her eyes were still a little vague.

After all, the scene of the royal enshrined head falling to the ground is still vivid in our minds.

For the young Zhu Zhuqing, the impact of that scene was too great, so it was understandable that she was a little afraid of Pei An.

Pei An didn't care what Zhu Zhuqing thought of him.

The reason he said those words was simply because Ning Rongrong pulled his sleeve and because the little cat girl in the original novel liked him a little.

He took out a white handkerchief from the storage soul guide and handed it to Xiao Zhu Zhuqing.

An exquisite long sword was embroidered with gold thread on the corner of the hand.

"Wipe it off. Remember, relying on others is not a good idea. Only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong."

After saying this, he didn't stay any longer and left with Ning Rongrong.

Before leaving, Ning Rongrong turned around and clenched her fist to encourage him: "Keep going, Rongrong doesn't like those people either!"

Under Xiao Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, the two figures gradually disappeared among the crowd on the street.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked away.

Little Zhu Zhuqing looked at the white handkerchief in her hand, and the small sword embroidered with gold thread was particularly eye-catching.

She did not wipe away her tears with a handkerchief, but folded it carefully and put it in her arms.

Wiping away the last tear from the corner of her eye with her little hand, little Zhu Zhuqing stood up and walked towards the Zhu family.

She won't just accept her fate like that.

Her father was unreliable, and the fiancé arranged for her by her family and the royal family was also unreliable.

But so what?
The brother in white was right, she still had herself.

Maybe the result wouldn't change, but she at least wanted to try it.

…………

Star Luo Palace.

"That's how it is. For the sake of the empire, I had no choice but to let Consecrator Song suffer some injustice."

The Duke of the Netherworld reported what happened in the Great Soul Fighting Arena.

Emperor Xingluo sat high on the throne, listening quietly to the report of Duke Youming, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

After a long pause, he nodded slightly: "Very good, Lord Zhu, thank you for troubling me this time."

"The Empire cannot break off relations with the Spirit Hall yet."

"As for Song Gongfeng, I will give him some compensation. Of course, superficial punishment is still necessary. Please tell Song Gongfeng about this and don't think too much about it."

Xing Luo Emperor said lightly.

Emperor Xingluo was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Pei An's behavior of slapping their royal family in the face.

But there was nothing he could do.

In terms of personal strength, the Xingluo Empire has not been able to suppress this powerful man.

In terms of the power of both sides, it is impossible for the Xingluo Empire to fall out with the Spirit Hall.

Even though the relationship between the Xingluo Empire and the Tiandou Empire has eased a lot in recent years due to the events of the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the two empires are still hostile to each other.

No matter what, the Spirit Hall is now just a spirit master organization. The only ones who can be regarded as thorns in the eyes of the empire are still those who are also members of the empire.

The Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall are at odds, and the Heaven Dou Empire must be the happiest, and there is a high probability that they will not take no action.

Today on the continent, the two empires and the Spirit Hall are at a balance point.

Emperor Xingluo did not want to, nor did he dare to, actively break this balance.

Pei An is a madman, but he is not. He can't be so crazy and unscrupulous.

For this reason, we have to inconvenience Song Wuyou, the royal priest.

Even if Song Wuyou was just going there on his orders.

But how could the emperor make a mistake? As for the other priest who died under Pei An's sword, neither the Duke of the Netherworld nor the Xingluo Emperor mentioned it.

There is no need for them to worry about people who are already dead and worthless.

After that, give some compensation to the family of the donor, and then secretly spread the news to win over the hearts of the people.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I believe that Lord Song will definitely understand Your Majesty." The Duke of the Netherworld bowed slightly and said with a smile.

It doesn’t matter whether Song Wuyouli understands or not.

He could only swallow this anger.

After explaining this matter, Emperor Xingluo changed the subject and brought up another matter:
"Your Excellency Zhu should have attended the spirit battle between Weiss and Mu Bai today. I wonder what you think?"

The Netherworld Duke remained calm and replied calmly, "As a subject, I dare not criticize the affairs of the royal family."

Emperor Xingluo smiled slightly, hinting, "What about your two daughters?"

The Netherworld Duke replied respectfully: "Zhuyun is fine."

The two looked at each other, and their meaning was clear to both sides.

The Star Luo Emperor actually has the same idea as the Duke of the Netherworld.

He also believed that Davis was more likely to inherit the throne.

But according to the rules, there is still time, maybe things can still change?
Emperor Xingluo doesn't care about this little bit of time.

…………

Zhu family
After leaving the Xingluo Palace, Duke Youming went straight back to the Zhu family.

As for Song Wuyou, he didn't need to say much, as the priest himself should know it very well.

Passing by the courtyard, the Duke of Netherworld noticed that his daughter, whom he had almost given up on, was sitting blankly on the swing, holding something in her hands.

He didn't care.

Zhu Zhuqing no longer had any value in his heart, and he couldn't pay much attention to her.

He was just surprised that Zhu Zhuqing was so calm.

According to his expectations, Zhu Zhuqing should have a frown on her face and cry.

But the surprise only lasted for a moment, and the Duke of the Underworld did not intend to investigate further.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something and stopped.

That handkerchief...

The Duke of the Underworld's vision is far superior to that of ordinary people due to his Soul Fighter cultivation.

With just a quick glance, he noticed the pattern on the handkerchief.

That pattern...

The Duke of the Netherworld frowned slightly, turned around and walked towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Little Zhu Zhuqing sat blankly on the swing, her petite body swaying slightly with the swing, and she was unaware of the arrival of the Duke of the Netherworld.

It was not until a hand forcibly snatched the handkerchief from her hand that little Zhu Zhuqing suddenly came to her senses.

"give me back!"

She raised her little face and spoke excitedly.

Seeing the familiar face of the Duke of the Netherworld, a hint of fear clearly flashed across little Zhu Zhuqing's face.

But when she saw the handkerchief in the Nether Duke's hand, she mustered up the courage and continued speaking:
"Father, give me back my handkerchief."

The Duke of the Underworld ignored it and just opened the handkerchief and looked at it carefully.

When he saw the small sword embroidered with gold thread in the corner, the Duke of the Underworld's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

He knew this little sword very well.

Isn't this the martial spirit of the Judgment Douluo?

This small sword is almost a symbol of that person's status.

But how did that person’s handkerchief end up in Zhu Qing’s hand?
