Douluo: I am the Heavenly Azure Dragon, the God of the World

Chapter 99: The Conflict Between the Temple and the Nobility
"Xue Qinghe" suppressed the throbbing in his heart and stepped into the temple.

Outside the temple, many believers are queuing up and kneeling devoutly after entering.

There was only one little girl in the temple, the little priestess Cui'er.

Although she was small, the believers respected her very much.

"Xue Qinghe" stepped into the temple, and none of the believers raised any questions.

In front of the temple, no one dared to lose their temper, even if it meant praying a little late.

This is true faith.

"Xue Qinghe" did not kneel down, but bowed slightly.

After all, she is the heir of the Angel God, and even a descendant.

Cui'er looked at "Xue Qinghe" in confusion, her big watery eyes full of curiosity.

"You are……"

"I'm Xue Qinghe. I have something important to discuss and need to see the High Priest."

"Um, my brother isn't here."

Cui'er said embarrassedly.

Xue Qinghe frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Is there no other way for me to contact the High Priest? This matter is really important..."

Cui'er shook her head in confusion. Although she was blessed by Yu Mengzhang, her wisdom did not increase much. Moreover, it was impossible for a little girl to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

"Xue Qinghe" became a little anxious when he saw this.

If we can’t contact Yu Mengzhang, what will happen if the nobles attack the Azure Dragon Temple?

As the crown princess of the Tiandou Empire, it is impossible for her to stand against the nobles.

Even Emperor Xue Ye has to consider the impact.

At this moment, a feeling of being watched suddenly arose from the bottom of my heart.

"Xue Qinghe" immediately looked over, but found that the one "looking" at him was not someone else, but... a statue!
It is clearly a wooden statue, a dead object, yet it has a kind of active gaze?
"Xue Qinghe" looked at the statue, opened his mouth, and was hesitating whether to ask.

It must look silly from the outside...

The believer who was kneeling stood up and left, and before the next believer could come in, the wooden door of the temple suddenly closed.

The light inside the temple remained unchanged.

Both women were shocked.

"Xue Qinghe" stared at the statue closely, feeling as if something was about to come out from inside.

The next second, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Why did you come?"

"!!!"

"Xue Qinghe" was stunned for a moment, then looked at the statue in disbelief.

Surprisingly... it was the statue that made the sound? !

This is clearly just a wooden statue.

What soul skill has this effect?
No, that's not right. There was no soul power fluctuation around, she couldn't sense anything!

This statue...

"It's Brother Meng Zhang's voice! Brother, I'm Cui'er!"

Cui'er jumped up excitedly and waved hello.

A golden light flew out from the chest of the statue and landed on Cui'er's head.

This is a good deed that nourishes Cui'er's body.

Xue Qinghe reacted and said, "High Priest, it's like this..."

"...My father doesn't want to go against the temple, but it's difficult to control the nobles. There's no guarantee what they'll do, so I hope to communicate with the high priest..."

"Xue Qinghe" still hopes that Yu Mengzhang can give up punishing the nobles.

Otherwise, the temple will sooner or later stand against the Tiandou Empire and even the entire Douluo Continent.

Of course, what we are talking about here is the Douluo Continent ruled by those vested interests.

The statue was silent for a moment, then said:

"No matter who they are, guilty people should be punished. Under the law of heaven, all are just straw dogs, no one is treated differently."

"..."

"Xue Qinghe" opened his mouth, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Since Yu Mengzhang said this, the conflict between him and the nobles will inevitably be irreconcilable.

Even if the nobles gave in now, what about the future? There would always be a time when the truth could no longer be hidden, and the conflict between the two sides would surely erupt!

Xue Qinghe hesitated and said, "High Priest, if that happens, even Your Majesty won't be able to suppress the nobles' revenge and will inevitably be swept up in it. What will we do then?"

“…” The statue fell silent.

In other words, the answer has already been given.

Any noble who targets the temple will be retaliated by the temple.

And the strength of the temple...

"Xue Qinghe" couldn't help but worry about the Tiandou Empire.

Will the temple be destroyed in the future before she succeeds to the throne?
She looked at the statue with complicated eyes, knowing that it could not be changed.

"I understand, High Priest. I will do my best to restrain those nobles, but..."

"Xue Qinghe" bowed slightly, saluted, and then turned and left.

Only Cui'er was left in the temple, staring at the statue with wide eyes and curiosity.

The statue suddenly emitted golden light, and soon, a golden figure emerged from it. It was Yu Mengzhang.

This is his golden body of merit, carrying his consciousness.

It also has some power.

"elder brother!"

Cui'er jumped up excitedly and threw herself on Yu Mengzhang.

But it missed and passed through Yu Mengzhang's body.

Yu Mengzhang rubbed her head and shook his head slightly.

He looked up at the sky again.

There is very little dragon energy left in this place. With the current golden body of merit, the energy of heaven and earth that can be attracted is still too little.

He had to draw in some of the dragon energy in order to deal with the problems here.

If the Tiandou Empire wants to be his enemy, it will use many drastic measures.

"Brother, are there any bad guys trying to bully us?"

Cui'er asked curiously.

Yu Mengzhang came back to his senses and looked down at Cui'er.

"I can protect my brother! I'm very strong now!" Cui'er raised her arms and punched hard.

Yu Mengzhang smiled and said, "No one can bully us."

Cui Er nodded, "Of course, because my brother is the best!"

……

"Xue Qinghe" returned to Tiandou City with a worried look on his face.

She stopped the carriage in front of Prince Xuexing's residence.

Make a home visit.

The other party also knew the power of the temple. Although the two were "political enemies" in the court, they were on the same side at this time.

Although "Xue Qinghe" considers himself smart, he still feels inferior to others in the officialdom.

She was welcomed into the lobby and looked inside.

Prince Xuexing was drinking tea, and there was a teacup on the table, steaming.

Someone just came over...

"Xue Qinghe" suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Uncle, what do you think of the relationship between the temple and the nobility?"

"Xue Qinghe" asked impatiently.

Prince Xuexing shrugged and said slowly, "What else can I do? So many nobles have died. Even I wouldn't let this go..."

Xue Qinghe frowned and asked, "Are you targeting the temple as well?"

Can those nobles even persuade Prince Xuexing, this old fox?
There must be some "reliable" method!
Prince Xuexing shook his head. "No, no, no, I am from the Tiandou royal family. How can I end up like this? I just won't help either side. Prince, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Be careful not to get into trouble."

Prince Xuexing smiled, suggesting something.

"Xue Qinghe" was silent for a moment, knowing that he couldn't ask any more questions.

She doesn't have a good relationship with the other party.
