Martial Soul City, Tuoba Mansion.
Tuoba Xi listened quietly to the news coming from his family members far away in Tiandou City.
"Master, the Power Clan has gone too far. Although the young master has not suffered any loss, as members of the Spirit Hall, it is our duty to uphold justice. Should we teach these bullies a lesson?"
"What happened to the old gorilla?"
"The Tai Tan of the Power Clan has negotiated with the young master and reluctantly agreed to compensate him with two million gold soul coins. I heard..."
"What did you hear?"
"I heard that after the young master left, roaring sounds were heard in the hall. Tai Tan was afraid of you and the Spirit Hall, so he humiliatingly agreed to all of the young master's conditions."
"He's really a bully who only cares about the strong." Tuoba Xi said with disdain. He didn't take Tai Tan seriously.
"Master, are you going to the Power Clan?"
"Since he gave Yan'er and me face, I have no reason to continue going to his door to demand an explanation. Yan'er didn't suffer any losses in the two conflicts. Besides, I'm going to try to reach level 90 next."
In terms of age, Tuoba Xi and Tai Tan are not much different, both are grandfathers.
Their talents are also similar.
Ever since Tuoba Xi received the help of the horse talisman, all the old injuries in his body have healed, and his physical condition has also undergone a qualitative change.
Now Tuoba Xi's soul power has reached level 89 and is about to reach level 90.
Level ninety is a huge mountain that a soul master wants to cross in his lifetime.
Once one becomes a Titled Douluo, his social status and family status will skyrocket.
"But the young master hopes that you will go to Tiandou City to meet him."
"Now?"
"Yes."
"What happened to him again?"
"The young master didn't say it explicitly. He just sent a message saying he's waiting for you when you wake up!"
"Is it that urgent?"
Tuoba Yan tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, pondering for a moment. He only had this one precious grandson, and dared not delay, saying, "Alright, I'll go to Tiandou City!"
...
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong sat in her chair, reading a secret letter handed to her by her subordinate. A smile spread across her face as she read the contents, thinking to herself, "Very good, Tuoba Yan, you really didn't disappoint me. You might be the person who can help me realize my dream!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo opened the door and walked into the room.
Bibi Dong asked, "Yue Guan, what is it that requires you to report to me so late at night?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's tone was ambiguous: "Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is September 18th."
"Then what?"
"Your Majesty, you've forgotten again, the day after tomorrow is Miss's birthday."
"she?"
When talking about Qian Renxue, a soft light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.
Chrysanthemum Douluo continued, "Yes, Your Majesty. Every year around this time, the High Priest asks me to deliver a gift to Miss. Before I leave, the High Priest asked me to ask you if you have any gifts for Miss to deliver this year?"
"No."
Bibi Dong had an indifferent expression and responded to Chrysanthemum Douluo coldly.
Every year, the great priest Qian Daoliu would ask Yue Guan to go to the Pope's Palace, but every year the response he received was a cold "no." Bibi Dong did not prepare a birthday present for Qian Renxue.
After a while, Chrysanthemum Douluo got used to it.
Chrysanthemum Douluo wasn't surprised and turned to leave the room. Just as he was about to step out, a sound came from inside.
"Happy birthday to her!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't stop at all. During Qian Renxue's period of hiding, Bibi Dong never took any concrete action except for verbal blessings.
The so-called blessings are more like perfunctory ones.
...
Tiandou City, East Palace.
The Eastern Palace is within the Imperial Palace, and ordinary officials are not allowed to enter.
Officials in the imperial capital were as numerous as the white clouds in the sky. If anyone could be invited by the crown prince to attend a banquet in the Eastern Palace, even just once, many officials would consider it a lifetime honor worth showing off.
Many officials, including the glorious soul masters, tried to curry favor with the prince but to no avail.
The current Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, never considered himself a Crown Prince, giving people the impression of being approachable. His Majesty Xue Ye also trusted Xue Qinghe and, aside from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, allowed him to participate in all other areas.
Xue Qinghe was also very tactful and never dabbled in military power or the Ministry of Personnel.
Looking around the court, the only person who can check and balance Xue Qinghe is His Majesty Xue Ye's younger brother, Prince Xue Xing.
Tuoba Yan stood in front of the vermilion gate of the East Palace, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the jade pendant on his waist.
The eaves are upturned like phoenixes about to take flight, and the glazed tiles gleam with a warm luster under the sun. The entire mansion stretches out, as if it has gathered the majesty of half the imperial city within its red walls.
He took a deep breath, and the air seemed to be filled with the scent of a mixture of ambergris and sandalwood, a unique scent belonging to the royal family, solemn yet a bit aloof.
"Get out of the way! What are you doing standing here blocking the way!"
A gruff roar broke the silence.
Tuoba Yan looked back and saw an ebony carriage coming along the bluestone road. The corners of the curtains were embroidered with dark golden cloud patterns, and it was obvious that it was of extraordinary specifications.
The driver was a slightly overweight middle-aged man, wearing a brocade robe unique to Yuexuan, with a somewhat arrogant expression on his face.
Shui Bing'er whispered, "They're from Yuexuan. The person who spoke was Yuexuan Supervisor Aude. I didn't expect that they were also invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Ma Hongjun frowned slightly. Although he wasn't a high-ranking official, he was still a man of some status. How could he tolerate his boss yelling at him like that? He didn't move. Instead, he said calmly, "Who are you? What are you shouting about at the gate of the East Palace?"
Aude was momentarily speechless, then his eyes widened, and he cracked his riding whip: "Do you know who's in the carriage? How dare you be so insolent! Madam Tang of Yuexuan has privileges bestowed by His Majesty, allowing her to enter and leave the Eastern Palace as if it were flat ground. Asking you to make way is already giving you face!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes turned cold, and the aura around him suddenly became fierce.
Aude raised his whip with a timid look on his face: "What? You want to fight? You dare to cause trouble in front of the East Palace? I think you are tired of living!"
