Chapter 102 Assassination
"Actually, you can bend down properly."
Zhu Zhuqing made this suggestion because she knew Chen Xuan relatively well and knew that he was referring to Yu Xiaogang and others.
During this period, he was severely suppressed in the Shrek team. The preliminaries and promotion matches lasted for more than two months, and he only played three times. Huang Yuan and Jing Ling, who played the least, each played no less than ten times.
Zhu Zhuqing is very smart and can always see clearly into many things. The main reason why she was forced by the academy was because of Chen Xuan’s own personality.
If he would bow his head, learn to be submissive, and follow the master's ideas like everyone else, instead of going against the master, then he would not be deliberately targeted.
"It's different, because I never agreed with his theory from the beginning to the end."
Chen Xuan naturally knew this. If he started to flatter the master, praise his theories, and treat him as a god-like being from the very beginning when he met the master for the first time, he would definitely not be excluded. Instead, he would be favored by the master and even be accepted as a disciple.
However, he is not that kind of person. He believed from the very beginning that Yu Xiaogang was a big liar. His core theory of the Ten Martial Spirits had too many loopholes. He only knew one side of the story and not the other. It was like taking a small section of countless books and copying it, and it became a theory written by Yu Xiaogang himself.
It seemed like a good thing, but in fact it caused great harm to people and misled many soul masters who had no family or background.
There are countless Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters, but not one can cultivate to the tenth level of soul power. Tang San has broken through the shackles, so how could he be an ordinary Blue Silver Grass?
Whether it is the Blue Silver Emperor or the Blue Silver Grass, its greatest characteristic is its powerful vitality, not control, nor toxicity.
It is obvious that in this competition, the poison of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was almost ineffective and had no restraining properties, while the Silver Grass was vulnerable in front of Feng Xiaotian. This was the ironclad reality.
Therefore, Chen Xuan firmly believed that the so-called masters were just liars from the beginning to the end.
This time, the biggest reason why Yu Xiaogang set out early was to find Bibi Dong and ask for the cultivation method of twin martial spirits for his disciple Tang San.
All the signs are enough to prove that Yu Xiaogang not only misled his disciples, but also shamelessly went to see his ex-girlfriend. He is really shameless.
Decades have passed and Yu Xiaogang has never thought about Bibi Dong. Now that he is in trouble, he thinks of his ex-girlfriend.
"You are too stubborn and get hurt easily." Zhu Zhuqing sighed. People like this are often the most likely to run into obstacles.
She was worried that Chen Xuan would be excluded, so she had no intention of educating him. Instead, she admired him and did things that she dared not do.
If things continue like this, they will still be maliciously oppressed by the masters in the knockout rounds. The Continental Soul Master Competition is an honor for every soul master, and it would be a pity if it is just a formality.
"It's a tragedy to remain silent and never resist." Chen Xuan said, staring at her as he spoke.
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. The other party seemed to be hinting at something. Was he pointing at her?
She shook her head, with a hint of sadness between her brows. The Xing Luo Empire was so huge that it was impossible for a small person like her to contend with it.
Chen Xuan didn't say much. It was too early to talk about this now. He wasn't strong enough yet, so there was no point in helping the other party.
For the next two days, he lived in Shrek Academy, walking around every corner of the academy to make his presence felt.
He had met each of the Seven Devils and their teachers and got to know them well, proving that he had indeed not left Shrek in the past two days.
Chen Xuan felt that it was about time, so he walked out of the academy and returned to his residence in the suburbs. He was preparing for a long journey and needed to explain some things to Chen Yiyi.
In two days, the shadow clone almost caught up with Yu Xiaogang. At the same time, the clone's limit should have been reached soon.
The day
Not long after Chen Xuan returned home, Xue Qinghe came to visit him and talked about some things in detail.
This surprised him. They found his residence accurately and came at this time, which was too abrupt.
Xue Qinghe didn't beat around the bush and came straight to the point, inviting Chen Xuan to join the Tiandou Empire.
"Brother Chen, talents like you are exactly what our empire needs."
Chen Xuan didn't like beating around the bush, so he asked, "Would you like to join Tiandou, or become part of your faction, Prince?"
Xue Qinghe's face looked strange, and his heart tightened. Could it be that this kid had seen through his true identity?
Soon, he dismissed the idea. It was impossible. If he had such eyesight, he would have seen through it long ago.
"Of course I will submit to my father, His Majesty Xue Ye."
"Forget it, I've already joined another sect." Chen Xuan declined politely. He wanted to see how the woman would react.
"Brother Chen, don't be in a hurry to refuse. If you want to change, you can come here to find me." Xue Qinghe didn't ask any more questions, but gave an address. Watching the other party go away, Chen Xuan was deeply suspicious and always felt that there was something wrong with Xue Qinghe.
He didn't ask what he should have asked, but asked what he shouldn't have asked. It seemed like he came here just to test the waters. Something was wrong.
"Brother, who is this person?" Chen Yiyi appeared, wearing a home dress, standing tall and graceful with a sweet smile on her face.
Chen Xuan explained, "The current crown prince."
"Ah!" Chen Yiyi covered her mouth, staring with wide eyes, her face full of surprise.
For ordinary people, a high and mighty figure like the prince is hard to meet, let alone see his portrait.
"Yiyi, I'm going to Wuhun City the day after tomorrow, so it's not convenient to take you with me. Do you want to continue staying in Tiandou City or somewhere else?" Chen Xuan spoke, focusing on the arrangements to come.
The journey to Wuhun City, plus the time for the competition, would probably take one or two months, and he was worried about his sister's safety.
"Brother, I'll just stay here and not go anywhere." Chen Yiyi's eyes were firm. This was her home and it meant a lot to her.
"it is good."
Chen Xuan didn't force it. It didn't matter what Yiyi liked, and he would try his best to arrange the rest of the things.
……
In the afternoon, just after Chen Xuan left home, he received a letter from that woman.
"Is there a mission so soon?" He frowned slightly. It turned out that promises made in promises cannot be trusted. There will be no mission within a year.
Chen Xuan opened the envelope and read it carefully. There were only a few lines of small words on it, which were concise and clear.
"There really is a problem."
The content of the letter was very simple, asking him to pretend to accept Tiandou or Xue Qinghe's invitation, climb to the top position, and become an important general of the empire.
"Spy on me?"
Chen Xuan had this thought, but then rejected it. If that was the case, it only meant that the woman was extremely wealthy and had all the means to do anything.
It was a bit outrageous that Xue Qinghe had only been gone for three hours and the news had already reached their end.
Chen Xuan always felt that the whole thing was not right, very abnormal, and he now began to doubt the identity of that woman.
He planned to find Xue Qinghe again tomorrow to find out the truth. Only by doing what the woman said could he know her true intentions.
"The shadow clone has probably caught up with Yu Xiaogang now."
……
the other side
Tiandou Empire Border
The endless yellow sand is a vast desert, vast and high. When the red sun sets in the west, the end of the horizon is deep red, giving a sense of desolation.
Yu Xiaogang was riding a white horse in the desert, leaving a trail of horse hoof prints behind him. He had walked almost two hundred miles.
He looked at the crimson sunset, and for some reason, he felt a sense of desolation and uneasiness in his heart.
"Master, we've been traveling all day, let's take a break." The two knights in armor spoke up.
The two men rode two black horses, wearing neat armor and carrying sharp swords. They were the bodyguards that Yu Xiaogang had hired at a high price.
"Row."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, indeed feeling a little tired, and prepared to dismount and rest.
However, the moment he dismounted, he felt a chill on his back and his whole body tensed up.
Suddenly, a black dagger appeared, flew across the sky, and shot towards his head, sharp and fierce, intending to kill him with one blow.
