Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 50 Attending the court meeting
The engagement is off? Am I freed from this nightmare?
After hearing what Xingluo Patriarch said, Zhu Zhuqing did not feel too happy, but rather a little confused.

Even though she had reawakened her dark attribute in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, she had not relaxed her training at all over the past six months, as she was preparing to continue competing with Zhu Zhuyun after she returned.

But now Patriarch Xingluo told her that since her dark attribute was restored, she no longer needed to compete. She only needed to inherit the position of the Duke of the Netherworld and pass on the complete Netherworld Spirit Cat martial spirit.

This naturally made Zhu Zhuqing confused. After all, her previous goal was to defeat Zhu Zhuyun, but now she had won without even fighting, which made her lose her goal.

And when Zhu Zhuqing heard the Xingluo Patriarch say that she was not suitable to marry into the Dai family in the future, for some reason, she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Don't think too much." Dai Yaochen realized that Zhu Zhuqing was a little uneasy and comforted her softly.

On the other hand, after finishing talking about Zhu Zhuqing, Xingluo Patriarch said to Dai Yaochen, "And Yaochen, since you have recovered your light attribute and your White Tiger Martial Soul has returned to its original state, you will naturally inherit the throne and pass on the complete White Tiger Martial Soul. I will explain your situation to Tianyu and ask him to appoint you as the crown prince."

Well, not only Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Yaochen is also going to win easily this time.

But this is normal. The so-called competition for the throne of the Xingluo Empire is just to select royal children with better talents, which is obviously not as important as restoring the complete White Tiger Martial Spirit. Therefore, as long as the light attribute is awakened, this kind of competition does not have much meaning.

Dai Yaochen had no objection to being the crown prince. After all, as the crown prince, his status in the Xing Luo Empire would be greatly improved, and it would be easier for him to do anything.

Moreover, even if he becomes the crown prince, he will not be confined to the palace. For example, in the original novel, when Dai Mubai becomes the crown prince, he can still travel around the continent.

As for whether he can inherit the throne in the future, that is uncertain. It is possible that Dai Yaochen has become a god before inheriting the Xingluo throne...

After saying this to Dai Yaochen and Zhu Zhuqing, the Xingluo Patriarch hurriedly went to find Dai Tianyu, the current emperor of the Xingluo Empire. After all, Dai Tianyu was the one in charge, and such a big thing as the return of the royal family's spirit to their ancestral home must be informed as soon as possible.

With the departure of Patriarch Xingluo, only Dai Yaochen and Zhu Zhuqing were left in the huge martial arts hall. They did not stay here for long and left soon.

Walking in the palace, they were both silent for a while, and then Dai Yaochen spoke first: "Zhu Qing, don't go back to the Duke's Mansion for the next few days. Wait until your uncle and the others have informed your father, then go back, to avoid any accidents during this period."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently.

Although she has now reawakened her dark attributes, it does not mean that everything is fine. If Zhu Zhuyun takes the risk and attacks her, her situation will become even more dangerous. Therefore, it is better for her to wait until everything is settled before returning to the Duke's Mansion.

Because Dugu Yan would be staying in the Xingluo Empire for a long time, Dai Yaochen naturally could not arrange for her to live in the palace for a long time. Zhu Zhuqing would only stay in the palace for a few days, so it was not difficult to arrange a residence for her in the palace. Dai Yaochen did it without much effort, and then returned to his residence to wait for news.

Dai Yaochen didn't have to wait long. Before it even got dark, a waiter came to convey the emperor's intention to him.

The waiter didn't say much, but just told Dai Yaochen that the Emperor wanted him to attend the court meeting three days later.

"Let me go to court?" Dai Yaochen smiled when he heard the waiter say that. "What about Davis? Will he go?"

Even in front of the waiter, Dai Yaochen was too lazy to call Davis "Brother" for show.

"The eldest prince will naturally go as well." The waiter bowed slightly and said softly.

"Interesting." Dai Yaochen waved his hand, "I see, you can go back."

Combined with what Xingluo Patriarch had said to him before, Dai Yaochen had roughly guessed what would happen at the court meeting three days later. He just hoped that Davis would be able to accept the result by then and not be too devastated.

Three days is neither short nor long. Dai Yaochen did not feel that a long time had passed before three days were up.

Early in the morning, after a night of practice, Dai Yaochen put on his clothes and walked along the road towards the central hall of the palace.

Along the way, a team of patrolling soldiers passed by from time to time. When they saw Dai Yaochen, they subconsciously cast curious glances at him.

That direction is the imperial court, right? Why is the second prince going there at this time? Is he going to court? This is really strange.

Dai Yaochen paid no attention to the soldiers' curious gazes and soon arrived at the platform in front of the court hall.

With the arrival of Dai Yaochen, the princes and ministers who had been waiting here looked at him one after another. Some of them who seemed drowsy because they had gotten up too early also woke up at this time and looked at Dai Yaochen with surprise.

It is almost time for the court meeting, and irrelevant people are not allowed to come here casually. The fact that Dai Yaochen can appear here obviously means he has the emperor's approval, which is why the princes and ministers are surprised.

The Second Prince has always been obscure and mediocre. How could His Majesty the Emperor allow him to attend the court meeting?
Under the gazes of countless people, Dai Yaochen remained calm. He just greeted a few people he knew, and then waited quietly by the side.

After a while, before the court meeting began, another person arrived. Unlike Dai Yaochen's arrival, this person caused quite a commotion when he arrived, and some princes and ministers took the initiative to greet him.

"His Royal Highness the First Prince."

That’s right, the person who came was the eldest prince Davis.

Davis looked tall, with a faint purple light flashing in his eyes. At this moment, he was smiling like a superior and greeting the princes and ministers surrounding him.

Although Davis is the eldest prince of the Xing Luo Empire, he is not the crown prince after all, and he does not normally have the power to attend court meetings. He did not expect to get the emperor's permission to come today, which naturally made him somewhat proud, and he took the opportunity to build good relations with the princes and ministers.

But at this moment, Davis suddenly saw Dai Yaochen waiting here, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
