Star Luo Imperial Palace.
The Star Luo Emperor, Dai Zhen, looked at the vigorous Dai Weisi, and the mood that had been weighing on him like dark clouds recently finally eased a lot.
When he learned of Dai Weisi's assassination, Dai Zhen's anger surged through his chest. After all, Dai Weisi was the Star Luo Empire's First Prince, and although not yet the Crown Prince, he was almost the designated heir.
If someone dared to assassinate Dai Weisi, wouldn't they want to assassinate the Emperor if they had the chance?
"Although Weisi, your health has almost recovered, this matter must not be tolerated! We must investigate thoroughly!"
"The trend of assassinating princes must be severely punished! If this trend is allowed to grow, my Star Luo court will surely become a mess!"
"Weisi, your suggestion is very good."
"It seems we really need to hold a banquet and have all the ministers and princes attend together, to warn them not to have similar petty thoughts."
Dai Weisi knelt on the ground.
"Thank you, Father Emperor!"
A flash of joy crossed his eyes.
Taking this opportunity, he could force Dai Mubai to leave his residence, thus giving himself a chance to strike.
If Dai Mubai chose to refuse to go out, not only would he incur the Star Luo Emperor's displeasure, but Dai Weisi would also take the opportunity to make a big deal out of it, saying that Dai Mubai must have a guilty conscience.
It could be said to be an offensive and defensive strategy.
This plan was told to Dai Weisi by Zhu Zhuyun.
"Zhuyun is truly my virtuous assistant!"
Dai Weisi couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Other women were good if they didn't trouble their fiancés, but Zhu Zhuyun not only wouldn't create trouble for Dai Weisi, but would also bring him a lot of help.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
...
The Third Prince's residence.
Dai Mubai received the news, and his soul was about to be scared away!
He strongly declined.
"I'm not going, I'm not going!"
"This is obviously Dai Weisi's conspiracy! Once I step out of the residence, I will be met with his retaliation!"
The power that Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai possessed were worlds apart. One was the First Prince with real power, who had been deeply rooted in the court for many years, and whose connections and strength were far stronger than Dai Mubai's.
The other was timid and useless, and even abandoned his fiancée in the Star Luo Empire to escape alone.
If he left Tang Xiao's protection and lost the support of the Titled Douluo, Dai Weisi would have a thousand ways to play Dai Mubai to death, it would only be a matter of minutes.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, His Majesty has ordered that everyone must attend this banquet, especially you, Third Prince."
"Don't worry, the royal family will protect your safety."
The eunuch who came to deliver the message smiled, but his voice carried an unquestionable determination.
Dai Mubai was distraught and looked depressed.
After delivering the message, the eunuch left.
Leaving the members of Shrek Academy looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
Tang San couldn't help but look at Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher, do you think Mubai should go?"
Yu Xiaogang hesitated and said:
"I don't know either."
"Can Howling Sky Douluo manage to sneak into the palace without being discovered and protect Mubai in secret?"
Tang Xiao shook his head.
"It would be natural elsewhere, but in the Star Luo Imperial Palace, the defenses are tight. At least during the banquet, I can't get in."
But what if he didn't go?
It was almost predictable that Dai Weisi would not miss this opportunity and would seize on Dai Mubai's refusal to leave the residence to slander him wantonly.
Then he would continue to make a fuss and soon put further pressure on him.
This was a naked conspiracy by Dai Weisi.
No matter what choice Dai Mubai made next, he would be extremely passive.
Dai Mubai was so worried that his hair was about to fall out.
Among the crowd, Yu Xiaogang once again turned his gaze to Tang Xiao, and suddenly pondered:
"Actually, this may not be an opportunity."
The others looked at him in surprise.
Yu Xiaogang enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention, stroked the stubble on his chin, and said confidently:
"Since it's a palace banquet, everyone must attend. Doesn't that include Dai Weisi? This is, after all, a conspiracy aimed at Mubai."
"But we might be able to seize an opportunity from it!"
Tang Xiao couldn't help but avert his gaze.
How could he not know that Yu Xiaogang was once again suggesting that he take action against Dai Weisi?
However, once the arrow is nocked, there's no turning back.
He still hadn't made up his mind.
Did he really have to go so far?
Yu Xiaogang was annoyed, but considering Tang Xiao was their only high-end combat power, he couldn't say much.
Brother, you've already defected to the Star Luo Empire and gotten involved in the muddy waters of the throne争夺, is there any possibility of extricating yourself and remaining aloof?
Yu Xiaogang sometimes couldn't quite grasp Tang Xiao's thoughts. On one hand, he greedily wanted the already destroyed and infamous Clear Sky Sect to rise again, and on the other hand, he was timid and extremely useless.
It was simply contradictory to the extreme.
Frankly, brother, what the hell are you afraid of?
A barefoot person isn't afraid of someone wearing shoes.
Your feet are already rotten, are you still afraid of dirtying your socks?
However, perhaps it was precisely because Tang Xiao was so conflicted that he naively harbored delusions about revitalizing the Clear Sky Sect, and even pinned his hopes on Dai Mubai.
In other words, if Tang Xiao weren't so foolish, they might not have been able to get this helper.
Yu Xiaogang secretly winked at Tang San.
Tang San immediately said:
"Uncle, you have to understand the principle that riches are found in danger. If you're not willing to take even a little risk, how can you get a rich reward?"
"As long as Dai Weisi dies, Mubai, as the only prince, inheriting the throne is a certainty. Then the clouds will part and the moon will shine."
Tang Xiao was extremely conflicted.
However, under the pressure of the gazes silently watching from around him, he finally sighed and agreed.
"I'll try."
A sense of sorrow suddenly welled up in Tang Xiao's heart.
Although he was a Super Douluo-level powerhouse, he was like a puppet, without his own opinions, and could only act according to other people's orders.
He suddenly felt a little regretful.
Compared to the members of Shrek Academy, or even his own nephew Tang San, Tang Yuehua seemed more worthy of his trust.
If he had listened to Yuehua earlier, would things have been different?
Dai Mubai had a bitter expression on his face. "What about me? This palace banquet is obviously fraught with danger. Dai Weisi will definitely not let me go."
Yu Xiaogang confidently said:
"It doesn't matter. Dai Weisi is now just a mere First Prince and can't mobilize Soul Douluo-level experts. Let Xiao San protect you closely. Whether it's poisoning or assassination, he can effectively prevent it."
Tang San's current realm was Soul Emperor, and he had already completed 4 Asura God's Trials. As an assassin by origin, he was naturally extremely sensitive to assassination.
Dai Mubai nodded helplessly, his gaze falling on Tang San's dark face, his voice tinged with pleading.
"Xiao San, I'm counting on you then."
"Don't worry, Boss Dai."
