Chapter 150 Kong Deming's Probing, Liu Yuan's Attitude.
After some thought, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon felt that what Kong Deming said made a lot of sense.
After all, it's now basically certain that Liu Yuan is the strongest Soul Master on their Sun Moon Continent and even the Douluo Continent.
Whether it's Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and others from their Sun Moon Empire side, or Xuanzi and Du Busi from the Douluo Continent side... none of them could possibly be a match for Liu Yuan.
Because last time, Liu Yuan single-handedly wiped out the Holy Spirit Cult and two Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. This matter perfectly explains everything.
In the eyes of the current Sun and Moon Emperor, Liu Yuan's strength should be even greater than that of Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest, because even Di Tian might not be able to accomplish the various feats that Liu Yuan had previously made.
Aside from this, all of Liu Yuan's disciples also became titled Douluo-level powerhouses.
Ling Luochen, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Ning Tian, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen...
All of them had become Title Douluos, and they weren't just ordinary Title Douluos. They had already demonstrated extraordinary combat power during the Soul Master Competition.
Therefore, the Sun and Moon Emperor was very clear that each of them had the ability to fight beyond their level.
So don't be fooled by the fact that Liu Yuan may not seem to have any military power now; he is actually the strongest force in the entire Sun Moon Empire and even on the Douluo Continent.
After being reminded by Kong Deming, the Sun and Moon Emperor indeed felt that what he said made a lot of sense. The Sun and Moon Emperor immediately turned to Kong Deming and said, "Elder Kong, what you said makes perfect sense..."
"Indeed, we need to ascertain Professor Liu Yuan's attitude before we can act rashly."
He continued speaking to Kong Deming, "Well then, Elder Kong..."
"You have a close relationship with Teacher Liu Yuan, otherwise this matter would be entrusted to you for help."
"Could you please help me find out what Teacher Liu Yuan's opinion is on this matter?"
"Let's discuss this again later."
The Sun and Moon Emperor looked at Kong Deming with a sincere expression.
Kong Deming did not refuse the Emperor's request, because that was indeed his intention.
Therefore, upon hearing the words of the Sun and Moon Emperor, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"good."
"In that case, I will go and sound out Teacher Liu Yuan's opinion."
"Please wait for my news, Your Majesty."
The Sun and Moon Emperor replied to Kong Deming again, "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Kong."
After waving to the Sun and Moon Emperor, Kong Deming quickly turned and left.
He then quickly prepared to meet Liu Yuan.
Of course, one cannot go to see Liu Yuan empty-handed.
So he went home and brought back a pot of good wine. He also went outside to kill a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. After that, he took the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and the good wine directly to Liu Yuan's house to find Liu Yuan.
After arriving at Liu Yuan's house, he immediately ordered his servants to process the flesh and blood of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and cook it into dishes. Then he went directly to find Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's relationship with Kong Deming has become very good, so when he saw him arrive, he smiled slightly and said, "Old Kong, what brings you here to see me today?"
Kong Deming laughed: "I suddenly felt like having a drink with someone, so I came to find you, Teacher Liu Yuan. I even went outside to kill a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and I've already had the servants cook the dishes. I'll come over later to try out the taste of this new wine I just acquired."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan laughed heartily: "Excellent, excellent, wonderful!"
The two sat down and started chatting about everything under the sun, from strange sights and sounds to soul tools, and then from soul tools to cultivation.
Finally, the meal was ready, and Liu Yuan, his disciples, and Kong Deming went to the table to eat. Halfway through the meal, Kong Deming casually remarked, "Speaking of which, Teacher Liu Yuan, are you aware of the news that Mu En from Shrek Academy has died?"
Liu Yuan smiled faintly: "Of course I know, I heard it caused quite a stir."
Kong Deming said, "That's right. But I don't know how things are on their end."
"But in the imperial court, many ministers were starting to get restless."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan burst into laughter, for he finally understood Kong Deming's purpose in coming.
Ever since Kong Deming arrived, he had been wondering what Kong Deming wanted from him.
He was very good at judging people; he could tell at a glance whether Kong Deming had come to have dinner with him or if he had something else to discuss.
However, Kong Deming had not revealed anything before, so he didn't know what Kong Deming was there for.
But now that Kong Deming has said that, he guessed it and burst into laughter on the spot.
Seeing Liu Yuan laughing, Kong Deming felt somewhat annoyed: "Teacher Liu Yuan, what are you laughing at?"
Liu Yuan said, "Is His Majesty sending you to sound me out? Does His Majesty intend to wage war and unify the continent?"
Kong Deming was surprised that Liu Yuan saw through it so quickly. He could only take a sip of wine and say helplessly, "I didn't expect that I could hide this from you! Well then, I won't hide it anymore."
"His Majesty does indeed have this idea, after all, now is the best time for us to unify the continent. But His Majesty also knows that your identity is rather special, so he intends to hear your thoughts before making a decision."
Liu Yuan then directly stated his opinion: "Then I will speak frankly."
Kong Deming nodded: "You're right."
Liu Yuan replied, "Actually, I am against war. The harm caused by war is too great. Besides, the families of my disciples are also Douluo people."
He touched on the subject briefly and didn't elaborate. He then quickly changed the subject.
Kong Deming quickly learned what Liu Yuan's attitude was.
Therefore, he did not continue to discuss the matter.
Everyone enjoyed their meal together. After finishing, Kong Deming stayed for a while to drink tea. It wasn't until midnight that he bid farewell to Liu Yuan and headed directly to the Sun and Moon Imperial City to report.
And Xu Tianran happened to be there at that moment.
Kong Deming originally wanted to wait for the Sun and Moon Emperor to let Xu Tianran leave, but unexpectedly the Sun and Moon Emperor said that there was no need for such trouble and that Kong Deming could just speak.
Kong Deming directly stated Liu Yuan's attitude.
The Sun and Moon Emperor sighed helplessly: "As expected... I had already guessed this would be the result. If I were Teacher Liu Yuan, I would have thought the same thing."
However, Xu Tianran, standing to one side, spoke up in dissatisfaction: "Hmph! That wretched Liu Yuan! Father, you are the rightful ruler of the Sun Moon Empire! This is our best chance to unify the continent!"
