Douluo Dalu: White Tiger

Chapter 284 I almost believed it

Ye Xuan just chuckled and had no intention of speaking. He just waited quietly in the room.

Time passed bit by bit, and the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. A girl in a light blue dress, with a sickly pale face but very delicate features, walked slowly in from outside the room, holding a plate of snacks and a pot of tea.

The girl came to Ye Xuan, put down the snacks and tea in her hands, took out a teacup, and began to pour tea. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when pouring tea, the girl's hand trembled, and the teacup fell directly on the table, and the scalding hot water spilled on Ye Xuan.

Seeing this, the night shift immediately slapped the table in front of him, stood up and scolded: "How do you do your job? You can't even do something as simple as pouring tea. What's the point of having you?"

The girl did not speak, but quickly lowered her head, took out another teacup, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Ye Ming. But at the moment of lowering her head, a look of hatred flashed across the girl's eyes.

"Forget it, it's just a small matter, nothing serious." Ye Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly and began to look at the girl in front of him. To be fair, this girl is still very beautiful, especially the somewhat sickly pale face, which makes people feel pity for her.

But that was all. Ye Xuan didn't have much interest in her. He continued to close his eyes and rest, without touching the tea and snacks in front of him.

"Why are you still staying here? You can't even do such a small thing. Why don't you get out!" Ye Ming glanced at her and pointed in the direction of the door, signaling her to hurry out.

The girl glanced at Ye Ming, lowered her head without saying a word, and walked outside.

"Come back, you are my maid now. Who dares to let you go before I let you go?" Ye Xuan's indifferent voice sounded in the room.

After hearing Ye Xuan's words, the girl paused slightly, but Ye Ming did not speak, and she continued to walk towards the door.

"Your Holiness, I asked you to come back, didn't you hear me?" Ye Ming glanced at the girl, with a hint of anger in his voice.

The girl took a deep breath, clenched her fists, turned around and walked in front of Ye Xuan, and asked, "Your Holiness, if I am your maid, do I belong to the Duke's Mansion or to Your Holiness?"

"Watch your wording, you are not mine, you are from the Spirit Hall." Ye Xuan glanced at the girl and said, "You are still too naive to play word games with me."

The girl was slightly surprised when she heard this, but she soon calmed down and said, "Then will I still have any relationship with the Duke's Mansion in the future?"

"That depends on what you mean. If you say it matters, then it matters. If you say it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter." Ye Xuan's voice sounded a little indifferent. Anyway, the Duke's Mansion would no longer exist in the future.

As for whether this girl can survive, that depends on whether she is a spy of the Duke's Mansion. She does not have the talent to become a soul master. You are a five-ring soul king. You tell me that you do not have the talent to become a soul master. If it were not for my strong mental power that could see the strength of the girl, I would have believed it.

"Then I, Yeying, will have no relationship with the Duke's Mansion anymore. I am just the maid of His Holiness the Pope." While speaking, Yeying looked at Ye Ming with hatred.

"How dare you! You don't have any talent to become a soul master. My Duke's Mansion raised you, and this is how you repay the Duke's Mansion!" Ye Ming slammed the table in front of him hard, with soul power constantly surging in his body, and he seemed extremely angry.

"Haha, you raised me, but you just treated me as a tool." The hatred in Ye Ying's eyes grew deeper and deeper, as if they were mortal enemies.

Ye Xuan looked at the two men, took out a short sword, stuck it on the table in front of him, and said with a faint smile: "Looking at the way you two look, it seems that you want to fight to the death. What I hate most is internal fighting, so I decided to give you a chance for a fair duel."

"There is a dagger in front of you. You can pick it up and kill the opponent. Duke Ye Ming, you cannot use your soul power. Otherwise, I will kill you anyway!"

"You can start now. Let me see whether it's the daughter killing the father, or the father eating the son!" Ye Xuan spread his hands towards the two of them, indicating that they could start the performance.

Ye Ming and Ye Ying were stunned when they heard this. The room fell silent for a moment. Ye Ying even kept blinking, as if asking what to do.

After a while, Ye Ming slapped the table and said in a cold voice: "You are now the maid of His Holiness the Pope, so I will give His Holiness the Pope a favor and not kill you, but if you dare to step into the gate of the Duke's Mansion again, even His Holiness the Pope will not be able to protect you!"

"For the sake of your raising me, I won't fight with you. From now on, there will be no connection between you and me!" Ye Ying pulled out the dagger on the table and handed it to Ye Xuan again.

After Ye Xuan took the dagger again, Ye Ming sat back in his seat with an angry look on his face. Ye Ying walked behind Ye Xuan and pinched his shoulders, looking like a maid.

Ye Xuan closed his eyes and began to rest, with no intention of paying any attention to the two of them.

About two hours later, the door of the room was pushed open again, and people dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in one by one. When they saw Ye Xuan sitting in the main seat, they all had different looks in their eyes, but they all tacitly did not ask any questions, but found a seat and sat down.

Ye Xuan glanced at the people around him and found that everyone here was quite complete, at least most of the nobles on the list were here. He knocked on the table with his hand, signaling Duke Ye Ming to tell him the purpose of this trip.

When Ye Ming saw Ye Xuan's actions, he immediately understood what he meant, and stood up and said, "Everyone, I believe you have seen the attitude of the Empress of the Wuhun Empire. It is obvious that she is suppressing our nobles and supporting the common people."

"Now His Holiness the Pope is very interested in the position of Emperor, so he wants to cooperate with us nobles. When the time comes, His Holiness the Pope can give us everything we nobles want. You can tell us who wants to join and who doesn't."

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged glances and finally turned their eyes to Ye Ming, who nodded slightly.

"Our family will not participate in this operation. We will take our leave now." A middle-aged man glanced at everyone present, then stood up and walked out the door.
