Chapter 865 You dare take Xiao Nanye's things?
"Yao Yao Zai? You want to go back to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Little Ye No. 3 asked with a smile.
"I really miss Yao Yao, but Xing Dou isn't a place you can just go to whenever you want now; you have to wait for the boss to call you."
A hint of nostalgia flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes. "Speaking of which, I was the one who taught Yao Yao Zai his stealth skills. I wonder where this cheap apprentice has gone. I wonder if he's lost the set of '53' that I left him back then."
When he first witnessed the unique talent of the demon spirit in the Shadow World, he was thoroughly shocked.
Miracles continue to unfold on this continent, and the martial spirits have not yet been fully recorded. The documented martial spirits are thicker than the empire's chronicles.
If martial spirits are like this, then what about soul beasts? It's not unreasonable for some to be strange and special.
There are even ancient remnants, those silly roe deer that can only glow and influence fate.
"As for demon spirits, perhaps we can ask the big boss," said Xiao Ye No. 3.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly. The big boss is busy. He has been cultivating for countless years with his eyes closed. He doesn't know if he, the fox, will miss it.
"Speaking of which, besides Yao Yao Zai, there was also Mermaid Regent back then?"
"Regent, that's really quite far!"
"Speaking of which, the harbor we bought in Xingluo has already been built, we're just waiting for this matter to pass."
Xiao Ye No. 5 watched as her main body and No. 3 chatted, then took out a small table and the two sat down to drink tea, feeling somewhat helpless.
Weren't we supposed to be here to hand over intelligence?
"Number Five, don't just stand there watching, come sit down and have a drink with us!"
Ye Nanxiao sometimes thought that there was an old Chinese saying: "I examine myself three times a day."
Talk to yourself every day, examine your shortcomings, and then strive for improvement.
If I discuss things with my clone, does that count as self-reflection?
I guess so, since I can argue with my clone after all.
Xiao Ye No. 5 glanced at the two who had started chatting, a faint red light emanated from her body, and her figure shrank continuously until she finally transformed into a petite nine-tailed fox.
"Hmm, a new ability. Your beast form transformation ability has also come to us." Little Leaf No. 3 beckoned to Little Leaf No. 5, trying to lure Little Leaf No. 5 over to pet him.
Xiao Ye No. 5 didn't look at the two again. Instead, he leaped onto a high platform and ran through the night sky like a cat before disappearing into the night.
"If I turn into a small animal, no one will notice, right? Who cares about small animals anyway?"
"No, I'm a nine-tailed fox. Foxes with only one tail are rare, but foxes with nine tails are common, aren't they?"
"The third brother is right."
Sure enough, Ye Nanxiao could sometimes learn some mistakes by talking to his clone.
Of course, Xiao Ye No. 5 had also thought of the things that the two of them could think of.
A small, snow-white fox with a wagging, plump tail flashed by at various alley entrances.
The tail looked very fluffy, like nine tails pieced together.
Ye Nanxiao glanced in the direction of Xu Zhong's residence, frowned slightly in thought, and then said, "Is the eldest brother planning something big? The high-energy core hasn't been activated."
Then, as if suddenly enlightened, he realized what Xiao Ye No. 1 was thinking.
"Mu Shiyi's going to be busy again, after all, you're Xiao Nanye's nemesis!"
Ye Nanxiao's face broke into a gleeful smile.
As someone who enjoys life, the greatest joy isn't watching others' fun. You can only watch other people's fun for a short while. The real fun is creating your own fun!
Starting tomorrow, Xu Zhong will publicly announce that he has defeated Xiao Nanye and defended the dignity of his royal uncle. In addition, news will also circulate that Xiao Nanye's meticulously crafted level nine soul-guided giant cannon's contingency core has become Xu Zhong's spoils of war.
Soul-guided giant cannons—those are weapons of war!
It also serves as a guarantee of strong military power.
Xiao Ye No. 3 reluctantly finished the tea in his cup and ran out with Mu Shiyi's face on his back.
The following day, despite it being during the competition, Xu Tianran still convened a morning meeting.
This was all because of the battle that occurred at Xu Zhong's residence.
The firelight of Xu Zhong's residence could be seen from half of Mingdu.
If it were only once or twice, Xu Tianran could still announce to the public, based on Ju Zi's suggestion, that the explosion was caused by a crisis in the soul tool experiment at Xu Zhong's residence.
However, when several groups of people gather together to fight, and even use soul-guided cannons, this is no small matter.
Xu Tianran leaned back on the dragon throne, looking languid.
Minister of Justice He Xun was the first to step forward. After bowing to Xu Tianran, he said, "Your Majesty, the matter of the fight that occurred yesterday in front of General Xu Zhong's residence has been investigated. It turns out that it was a conflict between several officials."
Xu Tianran nodded slightly and then gave Xu Zhong, who was standing at the front, a look.
Xu Zhong, who had been watching Xu Tianran closely, immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply, and cried out, "Your Majesty! I have been wronged!"
"Your Majesty, I was merely fulfilling my duty and obligations, but Xiao Nanye dared to disrupt the laws of Mingdu! And he dared to provoke me! He disregarded Your Majesty's authority! I had to intervene to uphold the law and protect Your Majesty's reputation!"
I, Xu Zhong, am an uncle of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, and a worthy subject of His Majesty! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I am one of His Majesty's most respected figures.
Xu Tianran ignored Xu Zhong's show of loyalty.
Instead, they asked, "I heard you defeated Xiao Nanye and obtained the core of his soul-guided cannon? Is that true?"
Xu Zhong immediately understood. Xu Tianran had his eye on his spoils of war. But was that thing the core of a soul-guided giant cannon? Wasn't it stolen from his own residence? Wait, he didn't have a soul-guided giant cannon either.
Strange as it was, Xu Zhong still bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I did indeed obtain spoils from Xiao Nanye, but I do not know what kind of soul tool it is. I request Your Majesty to send someone to appraise it!"
If the emperor asks me for something, then I will give it to him!
I am Your Majesty's loyal subject!
Orange, standing in the ranks of military officers, stood with her eyes down, seemingly lost in thought, pondering Ye Nanxiao's intentions.
"Core? Something's not right. That bastard fox's soul tool core always breaks down automatically when the power supply connection is lost. Could it be a bomb? Given that bastard fox's personality, it could indeed be a bomb. Is Xu Zhong really that stupid? Daring to take Xiao Nanye's things?"
The latest novel is first published here!
Xu Tianran was satisfied with Xu Zhong's response. He casually dealt with the disputes between the various families, then handed the matter over to He Xun. He looked at Xu Zhong again and said meaningfully, "Minister Xu, that Xiao Nanye might be a rare genius. If he could be placed in the army, he would be of great use, wouldn't he?"
Xu Zhong immediately nodded, "Your Majesty is right!"
"By Your Majesty's decree! This old minister will do everything in his power to search for Xiao Nanye! And with Your Majesty's benevolent and lenient policies, he will be won over and put to service by our Sun Moon Empire!"
Xu Tianran nodded, but considering that Xu Zhong had been completely outmaneuvered by Xiao Nanye this time, he still let Ju Zi participate in the task as well. Afterwards, he declined a few court affairs and left the court.
He only mentioned Xiao Nanye casually, but felt that Xiao Nanye was a genius and might be useful in dealing with Ye Nanxiao.
By recruiting a genius from elsewhere, we can save our own resources from wasting them on dealing with Ye Nanxiao.
Although Xu Zhong was unhappy that others were interfering with the task assigned to him by His Majesty, he had one advantage: he would never offend those who were currently favored by His Majesty.
Although Ju Zi is not as favored by the emperor as she was when she was the crown princess, she has still been granted the position of Grand Commander, making her a semi-favored person.
Xu Zhong will not turn against his partner unless there is an absolutely certain opportunity.
He approached Ju Zi with a smile. "Commander, this matter is troublesome. That Xiao Nanye is quite cunning. Commander, please be careful!"
Orange nodded. "I will be careful, but this mission will still be led by Lord Xu. I will just assist from the side. After all, I still have a lot of work to do and I am not as familiar with Xiao Nanye as Lord Xu is. The credit will still go to Lord Xu."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhong was overjoyed. It was good that Ju Zi didn't try to steal the credit from him!
He was secretly pleased, but his face still wore an expression that was seven parts serious and three parts regretful. "In that case, I hope the Commander-in-Chief will take good care of me."
After saying that, Xu Zhong turned and left without showing any regret.
As the vice leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, Fire Phoenix Douluo is also a martial general and is positioned right after Orange.
Seeing Xu Zhong's pretentious attitude, Fire Phoenix Douluo was furious. "Commander, this old dog Xu is a hypocrite! He acts all smug! He's actually hoping we won't steal his credit! He doesn't even know who he is!"
Orange quickly comforted the hot-tempered Fire Phoenix Douluo, "Alright, Grandma Fire Phoenix, there's no need to be angry. This is not a good job to begin with. I don't even want to deal with Xiao Nanye. Xu Zhong is going to have a lot of trouble this time. Xiao Nanye is a person who will definitely seek revenge, and he has the ability to appear and disappear unpredictably. It will be a real headache to run into him."
"He's just a level seven Soul Master, why do you say that, Commander?" Fire Phoenix Douluo asked, puzzled. In her eyes, a level seven Soul Master was just a kitten, someone she could easily deal with.
Orange smiled and shook her head, saying mysteriously, "Just wait and see the show. Xiao Nanye is not only a level seven soul master, but also a high-level terrifying madman."
She remembered that Xu Zhong had mentioned capturing a high-energy core of a soul-guided giant cannon when he submitted his report earlier.
If she wasn't mistaken, this high-energy core was a hidden flag.
Hearing Ju Zi's tone, Fire Phoenix Douluo realized something.
"Could it be that Xiao Nanye has set a trap for old man Xu Zhong to fall into?"
"Shh, the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group still has important matters to attend to." Orange put a jade finger to her lips, her eyes filled with schadenfreude.
Was a trap set?
That bastard fox really did set a trap, using me as a pawn.
But the real reason he's called a terrifying madman is that he himself became a pawn, manipulating the chessboard that encompasses the entire continent.
By taking the initiative and strategizing, one can gain a significant advantage over fate.
These are the craziest words Orange has ever heard, and also the most admirable words.
Damn fox, you're not the only one playing chess, but I will become your most steadfast chess piece.
