Chapter 1540: Dai Tianling's Calculations (Seeking Subscriptions)_1
Xu Sheng did not expose it, but smiled and said, "It seems, Crown Prince, that you might have misunderstood something!"
This action caused Dai Yueyan's pupils to suddenly constrict, and his whole person became somewhat distraught...
But in the next second, he abruptly came to his senses and quickly shook his head...
His heart raced as he thought, "This man... his charm is like poison, almost enchanting even to myself!"
If it weren't for his strong willpower, he would have had his soul sucked away by now. It seemed understandable then that Yun'er would be captivated by Elder Xu!
He then candidly admitted, "Indeed, I initially thought that something happened between Elder Xu and Yun'er. It seems it was just my speculation!"
Just as he was about to discuss something else, a servant from the imperial palace approached with his head bowed and respectfully said, "Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor summons you!"
Dai Yueyan's eyes slightly furrowed. "Father... what does he need me for now?"
He had invited Elder Xu for a chat, and leaving now would seem extremely discourteous!
Xu Sheng seemed to notice his hesitation and said with a faint smile, "It's alright, Crown Prince. Go and attend to your urgent matters. I can rest here alone for a while, as I haven't had the chance to take a good look around."
Dai Yueyan stood up and nodded, "Then... I must beg your pardon. If Elder Xu needs anything, please feel free to tell the servants of the palace, and they will fulfill your requests as much as possible!"
Truly worthy of being an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, despite appearing very young, his sagacity is likely no less than anyone else's!
From beginning to end, his thoughts must have been clearly foreseen by the other party!
Having said this, he turned and hurriedly left...
Watching his departing figure, Xu Sheng, sitting in the chair, curled the corners of his mouth slightly and picked up the teacup from the table to take a light sip...
Leisurely, he thought, "Enjoying this once in a while might not be too bad!"
Consider it a return gift for saving the Princess of the Star Luo Empire...
...
After leaving, Dai Yueyan went straight to the palace where Dai Tianling resided...
As he stepped inside, he immediately saw Dai Tianling sitting on the bed with deep eyes...
He started with a serious expression, "Your Majesty!"
The man was his father, but also the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, naturally filling his heart with reverence!
Dai Tianling came back to his senses and smiled at him, "Yan'er, you've come? Take a seat first..."
Dai Yueyan stood firm, his head high and chest out, "Your Majesty, may I know why you have summoned me? Is there something you wish to discuss?"
This caused a trace of helplessness to cross Dai Tianling's face, "Yan'er, I've told you before, there's no need to be so formal when we're alone!"
Dai Yueyan pursed his lips and then took a seat in a nearby chair, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Dai Tianling took a deep breath and calmly said, "I've called you here primarily to discuss something about Yun'er."
Upon hearing this, Dai Yueyan's expression immediately became solemn. He urgently asked, "My sister? What's happened to her? Has she developed a hidden ailment after being captured by the evil Soul Master?"
Dai Tianling gave a wry smile, "Don't get so agitated. Yun'er is in good health; Elder Xu personally checked her!"
Hearing this, Dai Yueyan finally breathed a sigh of relief...
If anything had happened to his beloved sister, he didn't know how he would cope!
After a short pause, he inquired further, "Your Majesty, then what did you want to discuss?"
Dai Tianling did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "Not long ago, Yun'er told me she wants to find a teacher for herself!"
Dai Yueyan showed a look of surprise, "Find a teacher? Haven't you found many teachers for her already, Your Majesty?"
Although they all left because they couldn't tolerate Dai Yun'er's personality!
Dai Tianling gave a bitter smile and said, "That's what I think too, but as you know, Yun'er is extremely stubborn. Not a single teacher from the Xingluo Imperial Academy is to her liking!"
Dai Yueyan's expression turned strange as he said, "Does that mean Yun'er has finally found a teacher she approves of?"
Dai Tianling nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, you've probably met Elder Xu from the Sea God Pavilion, right?"
Dai Yueyan replied, "Yes, Father, Elder Xu's strength and methods are unfathomable! They are beyond my comprehension!"
In an instant, it seemed he had thought of something, and he took in a sharp breath of air...
"Father, you don't mean to say that my sister wants Elder Xu to be her teacher, do you?"
Dai Tianling said nothing, but the expression on his face said it all...
The corners of Dai Yueyan's mouth twitched, "For an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion to become a teacher of the royal family, isn't that a bit too willful of my sister?"
"Father, surely you didn't agree to it?"
Although they were the Royal family of the Star Luo Empire, they didn't have the right to force an Elder from the Sea God Pavilion, who stood at the pinnacle of the Continent!
But Dai Tianling had a smile on his face as he counter-questioned, "Why shouldn't I agree? I think this matter is not implausible. If successful, our relationship with the Sea God Pavilion... no, even with the entire Shrek Academy, would be further enhanced!"
"Even if we're rejected, there's no loss!"
Dai Yueyan was ready to argue, but after careful consideration, he realized that this was indeed the case!
"Your reasoning is sound, Your Majesty. Given the rapid rise of the Holy Spirit Cult, which has started to spread into our Xingluo Empire, it's impossible to eradicate them without asking Shrek Academy for help!"
Upon hearing these words, Dai Tianling revealed a look of gratification...
Yan'er has matured a lot, maybe in just a few years, he would be able to inherit my throne...
...
Within the Soul Beast Legion!
Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts were all seated together...
One of the ferocious beasts said coldly, "What are these evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult up to? Didn't they say they wanted to erode our legion? Yet, they've all left overnight?"
Another ferocious beast licked its lips and said, "Isn't that a good thing? We've been worrying about not finding an opportunity to drive these evil Soul Masters out of the legion, haven't we?"
"That may be true, but it's a bit too odd. It wouldn't be long before they could take complete control of the legion!"
"Exactly. Those despicable evil Soul Masters, how could they willingly give up such a great opportunity? There must be some unknown plot!"
Di Tian, whose expression remained calm, turned his gaze to Bi Ji and inquired, "Bi Ji, what do you think?"
Bi Ji came back to her senses and spoke gravely, "To my knowledge, not long ago, forces like Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda seem to be secretly amassing power, as if intending to join forces!"
"Therefore, I suspect that the only factor that could induce many forces to join hands and act is the Holy Spirit Cult; it's highly likely that their stronghold has been discovered!"
Upon hearing this explanation, all the ferocious beasts showed expressions of sudden realization...
So that's it. The evil Soul Masters in their legion left overnight because they had to return to the Holy Spirit Cult to protect their stronghold!
