Douluo: The Second Lady of the Worship Hall, decisive in killing

Chapter 319 Star Luo Empress
Time passes bit by bit.

Ye Xi and Duke Youming were chatting in the hall when a maid walked in.

The maid bowed to Duke Youming: "Your Grace, the banquet is ready."

Duke Youming nodded, waved for the maid to leave, and then turned his gaze to Ye Xi.

"Pavilion Master Ye."

"Your Excellencies, please proceed to the banquet."

Duke Youming stood up, gestured for him to proceed, and led the way.

Ye Xi, accompanied by Ling Yuan and Gui Bao, followed Duke Youming forward.

Before long, the group arrived at the banquet hall.

Upon entering the banquet hall, the first thing that catches the eye is the tables on both sides laden with various delicacies, followed by the maids standing on either side.

After everyone had settled down according to their status, they waited in the banquet hall.

The Duchess arrived first, followed by the two sisters, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.

After the three of them took their seats, there was still one empty seat in the banquet hall.

Ye Xi turned her gaze toward the entrance of the banquet hall, her azure eyes filled with curiosity.

She knew very well who the people from the Star Luo royal family would be.

The sound of light footsteps came from the doorway.

Everyone's attention seemed to be drawn by the sound, and they all looked towards the doorway.

A woman dressed in a magnificent long gown, bearing a resemblance to the Duke of the Underworld, and exuding elegance and nobility in every movement, entered the banquet hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

Duke Youming, Duchess, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and others rose from their seats and bowed to Empress Xingluo.

Ye Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then stood up and bowed slightly to Empress Xingluo to show his respect.

"I heard that Pavilion Master Ye of Frost and Snow Pavilion is visiting the Duke of Netherworld's mansion, so I came to see Pavilion Master Ye. I hope I haven't disturbed you all."

Empress Xingluo's voice was gentle, yet carried a hint of authority.

With a gentle gesture of raising her hand to signal everyone to stand up, Empress Xingluo turned her phoenix eyes to Ye Xi, meeting his deep blue gaze.

Neither Ye Xi nor Empress Xingluo spoke, but their eyes were very calm, like the calm before a storm.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat quiet.

After a while.

Empress Xingluo was the first to withdraw her gaze, a faint smile appearing on her exquisite face.

"I have long admired the name of Pavilion Master Ye."

"Seeing it today, I realize the rumors were somewhat conservative."

As Empress Xingluo spoke, she sat down in her seat, but when she glanced at Ling Yuan and Gui Bao out of the corner of her eye, a hint of apprehension flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty is too kind."

"They are nothing but exaggerated and empty names."

Ye Xi also sat down, her expression calm, but the look in her eyes kept changing.

The banquet officially begins.

Duke Youming lowered his head to eat the delicacies in front of him, glancing at Ye Xi or Empress Xingluo from time to time, while Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Empress Xingluo and Ye Xi respectively.

Even Zhu Zhuqing's hands involuntarily clenched.

Judging from the current situation, the next battleground is between Empress Xingluo and Ye Xi. Whoever gains the upper hand is crucial for Zhu Zhuqing. "Your Majesty, I was just thinking that I should visit Emperor Xingluo at the Xingluo Palace tomorrow to ask about some small matters."

Ye Xi spoke softly, a faint smile appearing on her fair face.

"Oh?"

"I wonder what matters Lord Ye wishes to ask His Majesty? If it is not a major matter, I may answer on His Majesty's behalf."

A hint of caution appeared in Empress Xingluo's eyes.

"It's not a big deal."

"It's just that I want to find a place in the Star Luo Empire to establish a branch of the Frost Snow Pavilion."

“But if we establish a branch temple, I am worried that someone might attack the temple’s master. Therefore, I would like to ask the royal family to help look after it.”

Ye Xi looked intently at Empress Xingluo.

"when……"

Empress Xingluo was about to agree, but when she caught a glimpse of Zhu Zhuqing's somewhat nervous expression out of the corner of her eye, she changed the subject: "Pavilion Master Ye is joking."

"Since the destruction of the Haotian Sect, who doesn't know about the Frost and Snow Pavilion? Who would dare to lay a hand on the head of the Frost and Snow Pavilion? Why would we, the royal family, need to take care of it? But if Pavilion Master Ye needs any help, I will naturally lend a hand."

"However, I have recently encountered a rather troublesome matter. Pavilion Master Ye, would you be so kind as to listen to my advice?"

A gentle voice came from Empress Xingluo's mouth.

But the caution in Empress Xingluo's eyes grew heavier and heavier.

She almost fell into the trap just now. If she really agreed, and Ye Xilai made Zhu Zhuqing the palace master, how would their royal family's rules continue?

If this doesn't continue, the royal rules will become meaningless.

If this continues, and she has promised to help look after things, what would happen to the branch hall master under the very nose of the royal family? Wouldn't that be tantamount to slapping Frost Snow Pavilion in the face and offending Frost Snow Pavilion?

Although the Star Luo royal family in the Star Luo Empire is not afraid of the Frost Snow Pavilion, they are still wary of it, and they have no way to deal with the Frost Snow Pavilion.

Within the Star Luo Royal Family, there are very few experts at the Title Douluo level. They mainly rely on their nearly one million-strong army. However, if things really come to a head, this million-strong army poses almost no threat to the Frost Snow Pavilion.

After all, Frost Snow Pavilion was established in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Star Luo Empire couldn't possibly fight its way all the way to Heaven Dou City and destroy Frost Snow Pavilion, could it? If the Star Luo royal family really had such strength, the Heaven Dou Empire would no longer exist on the continent.

The situation with Frost Snow Pavilion is different. If things really come to a head, Frost Snow Pavilion can send Title Douluo to cause trouble in the Star Luo Empire and see who can't withstand it first.

Therefore, neither the current Empress Xingluo nor the Emperor Xingluo would want to offend Shuangxue Pavilion if they could avoid doing so.

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

Ye Xi pretended to listen attentively, but inwardly she couldn't help but sigh.

Just now, it seemed that Empress Xingluo was about to agree.

Once you agree, the rest will be much easier to handle.

Now we can only take it slowly.

"You should have heard of our royal family's rules, Pavilion Master Ye."

"Although it is a bit cruel, the struggle for the crown prince has always been like this. Even if I am reluctant, I have no choice."

"Recently, the Imperial Palace has received some information that some forces seem to be trying to interfere in the affairs of our royal family. What does Pavilion Master Ye think we should do?"

Empress Xingluo's voice was soft, but her gaze was quietly fixed on Ye Xi in front of her.

Ye Xi tapped the table in front of her with her finger, her eyes constantly shifting.

"Your Majesty, I am not knowledgeable enough to know how to handle this. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Ye Xi pretended not to understand.
