Chapter 10 Tribute
While they were still investigating Di Hong, the real culprit had already left the new city under the cover of night. There was no such thing as a curfew in this world.

When he returned to his courtyard, a man wearing black armor, with a resolute face and appearing to be only in his thirties was sitting in the yard.

"uncle?"

Di Hong walked quickly forward and looked at the other party with some confusion.

This man is Shen Yi, Shen Ning’s brother and Di Hong’s uncle.

"Why are you here?"

In the past six years, Shen Yi had hardly ever come to his courtyard. He knew that Di Hong was practicing every day, so he would not come to disturb him. At most, he would just watch from afar.

"Wait for you." Shen Yi said.

"wait for me?"

"Is there something wrong?" Di Hong immediately realized that something must have happened, otherwise Shen Yi would not have come.

"The king sent a message asking you to go back. Since you were not here, I have been waiting for you here."

"Did something happen?" Di Hong asked. Why did they suddenly send him a message to go back?

"Okay, uncle is leaving first. You just came back from the New City Fighting Spirit, so take a good rest."

After Shen Yi left, Di Hong sat alone in the yard thinking. If he was asked to go back at this time, it must be that something serious had happened, otherwise he would not have been allowed to go back.

After a night's rest, he returned to Silves City the next day under the escort of Shen Yi.

After returning to the palace, he did not go directly to find Di Yuan, but went to see Shen Ning first. After meeting Shen Ning, he went to find his elder brother Di Yang.

In the study room.

Di Yang was sitting there reading a book. The first thing Di Hong did when he pushed the door open was to ask.

"Brother, what happened?"

Glancing at Di Hong, Di Yang said calmly, "Nothing."

"Ah?" Di Hong was confused. Why did they call him back for no reason?

Di Yang smiled and said, "Isn't it the day of tribute coming soon?"

"Father plans to let the second son lead the team to Tiandou City."

"What does that have to do with me?" Di Hong was even more confused. Tribute was something that happened every year, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with him, even a copper soul coin.

Di Yang didn't say anything, but took out a letter. This letter was written privately by Xue Ye to Di Yuan.

After receiving the letter, Di Hong walked to the side and sat down. The first half of the letter was nothing special. It was all words addressed to Di Yuan. His words were all asking him to firmly support him and that he would definitely take the throne.
When he becomes emperor, the status of the Kingdom of Silves will be equal to that of the Kingdom of Barak.

It was basically all useless nonsense, but the second half was different. After the emotional connection was over, Xue Ye got down to business. He hoped that Di Hong would also go to pay tribute this time.

This time Di Hong was a little confused.

He is only twelve years old, what is he going to do?
He can't go to fight, although he will definitely go to Tiandou City, but there is no point in going now. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire are in the Sunset Forest, and it is useless for him to go now. The soul beasts in the Sunset Forest are not comparable to the soul beasts in ordinary places. There is no shortage of powerful ten thousand year old soul beasts there.

So he thought about going when he was a few years older and his soul power level reached Soul Emperor or Soul Saint.

"What is Prince Xue Ye doing?" Di Hong asked after putting down the letter.

Di Yang shook his head: "I don't know."

"What did the father say?"

"Now that you're back, what else can father say?" Di Yang said with a smile.

Di Hong sighed helplessly, a little speechless. "I am not afraid of being exposed if I go to Tiandou City. I am only twelve years old now, and my soul power level has reached level 53. If people know this, how can they not be suspicious?"

Di Yang said: "Don't worry, I have already thought of the reason for this."

"Just tell me the truth about how you practiced. Of course, I don't want you to tell me the level of your innate soul power."

"After all, Douluo Continent is so large, there are people who have reached the Soul King level at your age."

"For example, the genius of Haotian Sect, he is only eight years older than you, and he is almost reaching the Soul Emperor level at the age of twenty."

"And his innate soul power is only level nine."

Di Hong understood who Di Yang was talking about. The talented disciple of Haotian Sect he mentioned was Tang Hao. He was not surprised that Tang Hao could achieve such success. After all, he would become the youngest Titled Douluo in the future.

However, his name is not that famous yet, but it has spread.

No matter what, Tang Hao is also hailed as a genius that is rare in the Haotian Sect in a century.

At the age of twenty, he is about to reach the Soul Emperor level. This speed of cultivation is beyond the reach of many people and has surpassed almost ninety-nine percent of soul masters.

But now that he has traveled through time, it’s still unclear who the youngest Titled Douluo will be in the future.

He has an innate soul power of level 20. If he cannot cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo by the age of forty, then he might as well bang his head against the wall and die. He is even confident that he can cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo by the age of thirty.

The talent is here.

And this is without relying on divine test.

"It seems that we have to go to Tiandou City now."

"It's worth a visit. After all, it is the largest city in the empire and one of the top cities in the entire Douluo Continent."

"But when you go with your second brother, you must keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious, especially keep an eye on your second brother."

There was nothing Di Yang could do about it. Di Ming was a typical playboy in Silvester City, who spent his days in debauchery and did not do any work. Although he had never done anything too outrageous, it was under their noses, and with him, Di Yuan and Shen Ning watching, he did not dare to make any trouble.

But if he goes to Tiandou City, no one will know what he does, after all, no one will care about him there.

So he hoped that his fourth brother could keep an eye on Di Ming.

"Brother, are you sure I can keep an eye on the second brother?" Di Hong shook his head. No matter how powerful he was, he was still a younger brother in front of Di Ming. How could he control him?

"You can just let go. If he does something out of line, just break his legs. Don't feel any psychological burden."

"Father, mother, and I all agree to this."

"Father also said that if he gets into trouble and does something like bullying men and women, I will just say one thing: if you can't kill him, then beat him to death."

"Okay." With his elder brother's words, Di Hong felt relieved and no longer had any psychological burden. However, he did not think that his second brother would do anything out of line. In his opinion, Di Ming was a playboy, not a hooligan.

There is an essential difference between a dandy and a hooligan. You can say that he is immoral, but you can never say that he is rude. Moreover, although he lives a life of debauchery, he will never even go to places like brothels.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen Di Ming do anything evil that would be condemned by both humans and gods. He had to pay for drinking when he went out.

Unlike some nobles, some of whom are the kind who would never pay for watermelon in the south of the city.

the next day.

The convoy heading to Tiandou City for tribute was ready to set off.

In the past six years, Di Ming has gained a lot of weight. He is chubby all over and looks silly and even a little cute.
