Chapter 287 286. Introducing Huo Yuhao!
"Since you said so, Jiujiu will not be polite..." Xu Jiujiu raised the small and exquisite wine glass, and toasted Ye Qingcang across the wide round table. Then, he raised his head and his face became more red. It was unknown whether it was fake or real. In short, his attitude and tone were quite sincere: "Xingluo Royal Family needs your support. If you don't know the details, please allow me to explain it in detail."
"Princess Jiujiu is being modest."
"I had anticipated the details when I came here last time."
"However, regarding Princess Jiujiu's statement, I still want to nitpick and correct the inappropriate words in it."
"That is to say... what the Xingluo royal family needs is not my support, but the support of a divine examiner, a divine examiner chosen by a god who has no relationship with the original Shrek Seven Devils... I wonder if Princess Jiujiu agrees with me?"
While Xu Jiujiu was raising his glass, Ye Qingcang also raised his glass as a token of his appreciation.
After talking for a long time, he also took a gulp.
However, it was different from the blood and energy that appeared on Xu Jiujiu's face. Let alone this small cup of wine, even if it was a jar of wine, it would not cause Ye Qingcang to have any reaction after entering his stomach.
Stellar Martial Arts, first chapter, the first part about Qi and Blood.
As long as you get started, you won’t get drunk.
After entering the body, the Qi and blood will be automatically transported. As long as the poison is not fatal or erodes the Qi and blood, all other types of poison can be excreted. It is impossible to get drunk no matter how long you drink alcohol.
Therefore, Ye Qingcang was quite sober at this moment.
Continue with what Xu Jiujiu just said.
He put down his glass and responded.
Xu Jiujiu smiled. He did not deny what Ye Qingcang had corrected him, nor was he surprised by Ye Qingcang's correction of him.
He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it on the plate, but did not eat it immediately.
Instead, after answering Ye Qingcang, he picked up the food on the plate and put it into his mouth. His every move showed his elegance without realizing it. "Your eyes go to the essence. I feel ashamed of myself for a long time. To be honest, the Xingluo royal family really needs a divine examiner. I'm sure you've also seen that the world today is no longer dominated by empires, sects, academies, and other major forces that dominated or flourished for thousands of years. The ones who can decide the situation are gods, divine examiners, and people who are related to gods or divine examiners, just like the Wuhun Hall thousands of years ago."
Sheng Caier listened quietly.
The same is true for Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao and others.
The same goes for Hu Liena.
Even though Xu Jiujiu mentioned the Spirit Hall, she had no intention of interrupting.
Ye Qingcang likes to make things clearer.
So, when Xu Jiujiu expressed his attentiveness by eating, he talked about the reason why Xu Jiujiu had not mentioned it: "Different times, different backgrounds, the pattern and the way to change the pattern will naturally change accordingly. The current Xingluo royal family is the Xu family. It was obtained from the original Xingluo royal family, the Dai family, more than 4,000 years ago, when the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided and a war broke out. Although in name the Dai family abdicated to the Xu family, the truth can be guessed by anyone who has understood the military lord system of the Xingluo Empire, because it is not difficult..."
Xu Jiujiu smiled bitterly and nodded, remaining silent.
Foolish things our ancestors did.
What can her descendants say?
Even though Ye Qingcang exposed his shortcomings in person, what Ye Qingcang said was still the truth.
If you can't even tell the truth.
The so-called talk can only be a joke.
However, Ye Qingcang did not deliberately expose the shortcomings. Before clarifying the situation, he just mentioned the cause of the incident, which was an unavoidable link. After briefly talking about the origin of the current disaster, he took the opportunity to introduce the main topic: "Before, the Xingluo Royal Family did not take action against the Dai family of the former Xingluo Royal Family. On the one hand, they were concerned about the military power in the hands of the Dai family, which had fallen into the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and the military power in the hands of many small nobles attached to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. On the other hand, they were concerned about the Dai family's ancestor, the God of War Dai Mubai... Now, the Xingluo Royal Family The reason why the House did not attack the former Xingluo Royal Family Dai Family is because Mu Lao of Shrek Academy has become the Divine Examiner selected by Sea God Tang San, and Phoenix God Ma Hongjun has contacted Ma Xiaotao, and there is no trouble in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but no trouble does not mean no contact. The current Xingluo Royal Family Xu Family is frightened and wants to play against the gods as mortals. No matter how many Titled Douluo there are, or how many sects and academies there are, it is difficult to stop the indirect interference of the God of War Dai Mubai, for example: giving someone in the Dai family the identity of a Divine Examiner. "
Having said that, Ye Qingcang took a sip of wine.
Pick up the chopsticks, don't say anything for now, and pick up the food.
Xu Jiujiu also took over the topic with understanding.
His tone was steady, without any embarrassment, which fully reflected his good upbringing and mentality: "So, please forgive my rudeness. Before you showed up, after I arrived at Shrek Academy with the imperial delegation, I learned through investigation by my subordinates that Miss Jiang Nannan had a relationship with you. After the scandal that happened in Shrek Academy half a year ago, I boldly set my sights on you."
"So, the current Xingluo royal family Xu family is not going to bow their heads?"
"Instead, you want to have a fair fight with the Dai family, who have the support of the God of War Dai Mubai, have a close relationship with Shrek Academy, control more than one-third of the military power of the Xingluo Empire, and want to restore the Dai family?"
"Is this what you mean... or what your brother the emperor means?"
Ye Qingcang's words were like steel knives, tearing through Xu Jiujiu's defenses and fiercely stabbing into Xu Jiujiu's seemingly hard heart. The sound of putting down the chopsticks was like a heavy hammer. The moment it fell, it seemed to have pronounced the result, causing Xu Jiujiu's heart to skip a beat unconsciously. Together with the rhetorical question, Xu Jiujiu fell into deep thought: "Besides, what makes you think that I would be willing to fight against Sea God Tang San, Phoenix God Ma Hongjun, War God Dai Mubai and others for your Xingluo Royal Family Xu Family?"
Xu Jiujiu was not the only one who was dragged into deep thought by Ye Qingcang's rhetorical question.
Jiang Nannan was thinking about this question.
Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao were also thinking about this question.
Including the Titled Douluo from the Xingguan Sect who was accompanying him.
For a moment, I couldn't answer this question.
Yes.
Isn’t Shrek Academy’s attitude obvious enough?
If the Sea God Tang San intended to become an enemy of Ye Qingcang, Jiang Nannan might not even have a chance to run away, not to mention that after Ye Qingcang arrived, he killed Xuanming Douluo, Tianyang Douluo, the Douluo Princess Xue Lingxun and Xu Sanshi in public. What did Shrek Academy do during this process?
Try to smooth things over?
Or a professional floor cleaner?
No matter which one it was, when Moon, the Seagod examiner who lived in the Seagod Pavilion, chose not to show up, it silently explained Moon's attitude, and also indirectly explained the attitude of the Seagod Tang San!
Put yourself in their shoes.
Is it really necessary for Ye Qingcang to offend the Sea God Tang San for the Xingluo Royal Family?
What price will the Xingluo royal family have to pay to convince or win over Ye Qingcang to stand on their side and become enemies with Seagod Tang San and others?
You know, Seagod Tang San is not just one person!
Behind him is a faction jointly built by Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Ma Hongjun and others. In this faction, the Dai family, the Zhu family, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect are all still alive. Not to mention the Haotian Sect, the background of the Sea God Tang San himself, and the Tang Sect, which is already in name only, can also be ignored. Just to say that the above three mentioned forces and Shrek Academy are not something that the Xingluo royal family Xu family and Ye Qingcang can match!
In the face of absolutely powerful strength, those who turn against their own side in the middle of a battle will never be an exception. No one will mind currying favor with the descendants of a god at the cost of offending a Xingluo royal family that is doomed to perish. Even for a divine examiner like Ye Qingcang, according to common sense, he would not offend the Sea God Tang San for this!
Would anyone make an enemy of a stranger over a strange dog?
No! That’s the truth!
As for using benefits to win over Ye Qingcang.
This path was denied from the very beginning.
Confused!
If Ye Qingcang really wanted the benefits, he could have discussed it with the Sea God Tang San. I believe that the God of War Dai Mubai would also agree to Ye Qingcang's conditions. Even if it meant giving the Xingluo Empire to Ye Qingcang and handing it over to Ye Qingcang's descendants to manage, the God of War Dai Mubai would be willing to do so, because the current White Tiger Duke's Mansion is only the descendant of Davis' lineage. For the sake of his eldest brother's descendants for who knows how many generations, no normal person would offend a colleague!
This is the origin of the common saying "Even if I kill you, these things will be mine too". At most, there are some changes in details from the original version.
For Xu Jiujiu, who has lived in the palace since childhood.
Having been influenced by what she saw and heard, she could naturally imagine these dirty things.
Moreover, no matter what, she didn't think that mere interests could move Ye Qingcang, because with Ye Qingcang's strength and talent, even if he asked Ning Tian, the legitimate daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, to be his concubine, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would agree. Basically, he could marry whoever he wanted. Even if the woman he was targeting disagreed, the people around her would force her to agree, because no one wanted to die, because everyone wanted to curry favor with someone, and because this was an opportunity.
Therefore, power, wealth and beauty are really within Ye Qingcang's reach. Using these things that Ye Qingcang even disdains to bribe Ye Qingcang himself, Xu Jiujiu believes that if she is not stupid, she can't think of such a heaven-defying operation.
So, what should she use to convince Ye Qingcang?
Take yourself?
He glanced at Jiang Nannan for a long time.
Then, he glanced at Sheng Caier again.
Finally, he glanced at Hu Liena.
I silently determined that I was not competitive.
Take sincerity?
A mortal's sincerity can never match a god's casual promise.
Live in this world.
Make more friends and fewer enemies.
Therefore, all she can prove is her own worth.
Even though her value is probably not as great as a casual remark from the Sea God Tang San.
"Well, let me make a condition." Ye Qingcang had been paying attention to Xu Jiujiu, observing Xu Jiujiu's unpredictable eyes until Xu Jiujiu's eyes gradually became firm. Then he suddenly spoke, interrupting what Xu Jiujiu wanted to say but hadn't said yet: "If you can agree, that would be better. If you can't agree, or if you want to agree but are not qualified to agree, then let everything go with the flow..."
"Please tell me!"
He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt happy.
Although she knew that her happiness was a bit hasty.
But having a way to go is better than her groping in the dark.
Seeing Xu Jiujiu answered so straightforwardly, Ye Qingcang did not keep him in suspense and looked at Huo Yuhao, mainly because the seats around him were full, with Jiang Nannan on the left and Sheng Caier on the right. Xiao Xiao sat on the other side of Jiang Nannan, and Hu Liena also sat on the other side of Sheng Caier. The poor little Huo Yuhao could only be squeezed aside by Xiao Xiao and become neighbors with the Titled Douluo of Xingguan Sect. The Titled Douluo of Xingguan Sect was quite happy to do so, sitting next to Xu Jiujiu on one side and Huo Yuhao, a male, on the other. He did not have to worry about any actions that would offend the other girls present, because he did not understand what the relationship between these girls was with Ye Qingcang, so he focused on avoiding suspicion.
“Yuhao?” Ye Qingcang didn’t pay attention to these unimportant details. He looked at Huo Yuhao and frightened the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that was yelling in Huo Yuhao’s spiritual space with just one look. Then, he gestured, “If you don’t mind, you can tell me about your life experience... If you mind, then tell me about your dream!”
“My life experience… and my dream?” Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but be in a trance for a moment. Looking at Ye Qingcang’s eyes that made him believe, he nodded firmly: “My mother was the maid of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao. Unfortunately, she passed away due to the suppression of the Duchess… So, my dream is to avenge my mother and make the Duchess pay with her life, or make White Tiger Duke Dai Hao pay with his life. At worst, I will destroy the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion and make Dai Huabin die without a burial place… Of course, this is just a dream.”
"Are you Dai Hao's son?"
Xu Jiujiu's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Connect this to what Huo Yuhao just said.
I realized something instantly.
He quickly changed the topic: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect your life story to be so complicated. If I'm offended, please forgive me, Yuhao."
Glory and shame will be passed down to the next generation through blood.
Some people naturally feel proud because they are descendants of heroes.
Some people feel inferior to others because they are the descendants of traitors.
Huo Yuhao’s surname is Huo, not Dai.
This can already explain a lot of problems.
However, Xu Jiujiu was not stupid enough to misunderstand Ye Qingcang's intention to use Huo Yuhao, so after looking Huo Yuhao up and down, Xu Jiujiu decided to ask Ye Qingcang directly: "Do you want me to invest in this little brother?"
However, Ye Qingcang's answer made Xu Jiujiu's heartbeat speed up again.
"I said it before..." Ye Qingcang gave Jiujiu a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words: "What Xingluo Royal Family needs is not me, but a divine examiner who can stand firmly against Sea God Tang San... Didn't Princess Jiujiu deny it?"
Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath.
The Titled Douluo from the Star Crown Sect who was sitting next to Huo Yuhao also immediately looked at him differently, sizing him up uncertainly out of the corner of his eye.
Huo Yuhao himself was also confused.
I was about to explain.
But suddenly the perspective was switched.
A dead, vast and empty aura emanated from the spirit group belonging to the Holy Undead God Alex in Huo Yuhao's spiritual space. For a moment, even the million-year-old soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was suppressed and unable to move. In the outside world, especially for Xu Jiujiu and the Titled Douluo of the Xingguan Sect who were not covered by Ye Qingcang's aura, it was like an ordinary person suddenly encountering a tiger. Their legs became a little weak, and a sense of inferiority and panic from the life level swept over their hearts. They watched Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually turn gray, and a strong feeling of suffocation entangled them tightly.
“Ahem… Senior Alex, please be careful of the impact!” Ye Qingcang coughed twice and reached a silent consensus with Alex, who was staying in Huo Yuhao’s spiritual space. He watched the gray in Huo Yuhao’s eyes slowly fade away, and introduced to Xu Jiujiu, who was gasping for breath, and the Titled Douluo of the Star Crown Sect: “As you can see, Yuhao’s experience is very strange. Although he is not a divine examiner, he is a disciple of a god. This senior Alex is the Holy God of the Dead. Because he was betrayed, his body was broken, and only a wisp of soul was floating in the world, entrusting himself to Yuhao. Maybe it was because of fate that he and Yuhao formed a master-disciple relationship. Although he is not a divine examiner, I think Princess Jiujiu and Yuhao’s needs just happen to complement each other. Otherwise…you two can exchange ideas?”
