Chapter 3082: Speculation_1

Seeing Xu Sheng's expression, Bi Bidong once again spoke, "That's right, but there's no need for you to worry excessively!"

"Although the Worship Hall plans to cultivate Tang San as the Saint Heir, I was against this proposal!!"

Returning to his senses, Xu Sheng bowed with his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Holiness, for your trust in me, it's just that... my worries are not about this..."

What he was worried about was not that Tang San would take away his position as Saint Heir!

But why the Worship Hall wanted to cultivate Tang San, and what the purpose was in doing so!

Bi Bidong, upon hearing this, also revealed a hint of confusion, "What then are you worried about?"

Could it be that Xu Sheng still remembered that Tang San was his friend?

Seeing this, Xu Sheng replied without changing his expression, "Your Holiness, before I joined the Martial Soul Hall, Tang San studied in the Moon Pavilion of the Tiandou Empire!"

"I'm just curious why he suddenly left and joined the Martial Soul Hall!"

Bi Bidong, as if coming to an understanding, nodded and explained, "I see, but as it happens, I can actually give you an answer."

Xu Sheng turned his gaze to her, "If Your Holiness is aware, please enlighten me!"

If she did not speak, he would find time to return to the Tiandou Empire Palace himself and find out what had happened!

Of course, if she were to tell him directly, it would save him a lot of effort!

Bi Bidong did not conceal anything and immediately elaborated, "It is said that Tang San offended Her Royal Highness the Princess, Xue Ke!"

"Therefore, the Chief of the Moon Pavilion, in order not to offend His Majesty the Emperor, ordered him expelled!"

Xu Sheng was stunned, "Offended... the Princess of the royal household?"

What was this situation, during the time of his departure, he remembered that Xue Ke and Tang San's relationship was quite good!

Why did it evolve into this?

Bi Bidong couldn't help but stand up, speaking indifferently, "Xu Sheng, you seem to be doubting the truth of this matter?"

Xu Sheng shook his head, "I did not mean that, it's just somewhat unexpected!"

"How could Tang San, a mere commoner, come into contact with the Princess and manage to offend her?"

Hearing this, Bi Bidong stepped forward to him, looking down from above and staring intently at him...

Why could Tang San come into contact with Xue Ke?

Don't you know best?

Xu Sheng felt inexplicably guilty and couldn't help but counter asking, "Your Holiness, is there a problem?"

Bi Bidong sneered once and then refocused her gaze...

"No, I have told you all there is to tell, if there is nothing else, you may leave."

"Oh, and I must remind you here, without my command, do not leave Martial Soul City!"

"Otherwise, I will not let it go lightly!"

She certainly did not want a repeat of the last incident!

"Yes, I will bear it in mind!"

After responding carelessly, Xu Sheng quickly left...

Watching his retreating figure, Bi Bidong's expression turned much more serious...

"Now that I've told Xu Sheng this news, surely he will soon go to the Worship Hall to inquire about Tang San's situation, won't he?"

Just hope that things don't get out of my control!!

...

The next day!

Imperial Palace!

The people of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect have arrived as expected!

Sitting on the throne, Emperor Xue Ye, looking at Ning Fengzhi who was leading the group, spoke first, "Sect Master Ning, it's been a long time, how have you been?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded in acknowledgment, "Emperor Xue Ye, it's kind of you to say so. I hope our visit has not disturbed you!"

It seemed that the former was not plunged into sorrow by the death of the fourth prince!

Xue Ye waved his hand, "What are you saying, Sect Master Ning? We are more than delighted to have you all here!"

"Please take your seats," he said.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and the others took their seats on the chairs that had been prepared in advance...

Only then did Xue Ye speak again, "Sect Master Ning, how has the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect been faring recently?"

Ning Fengzhi answered casually, "Responding to Emperor Xue Ye, the sect is currently all well."

With that response, Xue Ye couldn't help but express some sentiment...

"Hmm, that makes sense. With the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo, two Super Douluo level experts, stationed at your sect, of course, no one dares to provoke you!"

Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow, "Emperor Xue Ye, it seems there is another deeper meaning in your recent words?"

It appeared that the other party's praise for the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect was not simply flattery!

Xue Ye did not deny it but showed a trace of helplessness...

"You are indeed sharp, Sect Master Ning. I can't hide anything from you."

After a pause, he continued, "Let me be frank. During this period, some troubling matters have arisen in the imperial palace!"

Ning Fengzhi feigned surprise, "Oh? It must be no trivial matter to cause Emperor Xue Ye such a headache, right?"

Xue Ye's gaze grew deeper, "Yes, this matter involves my son!"

"The fourth, after he left the imperial palace, fell victim to an attack by an unknown Soul Master and was murdered!"

Ning Fengzhi pursed his lips, "I heard about this matter, but I did not expect it to be true!"

"Emperor Xue Ye, please accept my condolences!"

I was still worried about how to steer the conversation to this topic, but I didn't expect Emperor Xue Ye to bring it up himself!

Xue Ye gave Ning Fengzhi a look and bitterly smiled, "There's no need. As the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, I've long been prepared for such incidents!"

"It's just that I haven't been able to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes to avenge the fourth, which leaves me feeling somewhat ashamed!"

After contemplating for a moment, Ning Fengzhi changed the subject, "I wonder if Emperor Xue Ye has found any clues about the identity of the murderer?"

"Should you require the assistance of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, please do not hesitate to ask!"

"Your concern is well received by me!"

"However, there are no clues about the identity of the murderer!"

Xue Ye shook his head helplessly...

To reveal the true cause of the fourth's death would be utterly absurd!

Ning Fengzhi sighed, "In that case, it will be quite difficult for Emperor Xue Ye to seek revenge for the Fourth Prince..."

It was no wonder that nothing could be extracted from the emperor of the Tiandou Empire!

Xue Ye coughed lightly, "Although no clues regarding the murderer have been found, according to Prince Xue Xing and the Poison Douluo's speculation, the Soul Master who killed the fourth must have a considerable background."

Ning Fengzhi seemed to have guessed something and said with suspicion, "A considerable background, Emperor Xue Ye, could you possibly mean..."

Xue Ye nodded affirmatively, "Exactly, it's just as you are thinking, Sect Master Ning!"

"Those capable of nurturing powerful Soul Masters and bold enough to act against the royal household are very likely to be from Martial Soul Hall!"

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, "That shouldn't be the case. Martial Soul Hall should be well aware that taking action against the royal household could lead to grave consequences!"

Moreover, the relationship between Martial Soul Hall and the royal household should not have deteriorated to the point of outright hostility!
