Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 341 The Answer from Mirror of the Mortal World, Dream of the Mortal World Declares War on Xiao Xiao

"Your Highness, the message you asked me to convey to my grandfather three years ago has now been answered. His answer is 'Tomorrow's Dream'. Is Your Highness satisfied with this answer?" Meng Hongchen asked.

Yuwen Tuo smiled and said, "It's not the best answer, but it's definitely enough to satisfy me. Then please continue to observe, Master Hongchen."

In fact, what Yuwen Tuo conveyed to Meng Hongchen back then was to ask her to rank the things that were important to her.

He himself, his granddaughter Meng Hongchen, the Sun and Moon Empire, and Mingde Hall.

Meng Hongchen's answer means that in Jing Hongchen's heart, his granddaughter is more important than himself, the Sun Moon Empire is more important than his granddaughter, or rather, the power given to him by the Sun Moon Empire, and even more important than that is Mingde Hall.

In fact, the reason why he sided with Xu Tianran in the original work was ultimately for the sake of Mingdetang.

Even if the Sun and Moon Empire is destroyed, Mingde Hall cannot be destroyed, for it embodies his life's efforts.

After thinking it through, Jing Hongchen took an outsider's perspective and compared the current powerful Yuwen Tuo with the chaotic Sun Moon Empire, where the emperor was seriously ill, the crown prince was a eunuch, and the empire was colluding with evil spirit masters.

Why does he feel that Yuwentuo has a better chance of winning?
Yuwen Tuo's progress was incredibly fast, so fast it was terrifying. Not to mention, he also had the terrifying ability to control 100,000-year-old soul beasts and even ferocious beasts.

If I continue to stand on Xu Tianran's side and join forces with the evil soul master, I'm afraid I'll also end up on Yuwen Tuo's blacklist.

But since Yuwentuo had Meng Hongchen convey this message to him, it means that at least for now, he is not Yuwentuo's target. If he can extricate himself in time, he may be able to save Mingdetang in the future.

Because he knew very well that no matter which side the world ultimately belonged to, as long as the monarch had a little bit of sense, he would understand the necessity of the Mingde Hall's existence.

He is no longer afraid that Xu Tianran will take action against him because of this. Given the current chaos in the Sun Moon Empire, why would he have the mind to deal with him? Isn't he afraid that he will bring Mingde Hall to join his royal uncle or some royal brother?
Jing Hongchen had completely figured it out. Since he was in a superior position and no one could touch him at the moment, he might as well stay out of it for the time being, neither helping Xu Tianran nor causing him any trouble, and continue to observe one thing.

That was the competition. He knew that Xu Tianran had his own plan for this competition. If successful, his prestige would be greatly enhanced, which would be very helpful in stabilizing the domestic situation.

However, if they fail, the Sun Moon Empire will not necessarily collapse, but the current domestic chaos will only escalate.

Whether it's Yuwen Tuo or Xu Tianran, it all depends on the outcome of this competition. Jing Hongchen will then make his choice.

Actually, being a fence-sitter doesn't seem so bad.

When Meng Hongchen heard Yuwen Tuo say he was satisfied, she couldn't help but smile. "So, will we still be friends from now on?"

“I didn’t think so at first, but the Red Dust Hall Master’s answer seems to tell me that we will still be friends. Let him see how I perform in the future!” Yuwen Tuo said with a smile.

After saying that, he took out a medicinal herb and a prescription from his soul tool. "Xiao Meng, this is my return gift to Master Hongchen Hall."

"What is this?" Meng Hongchen asked. "This is called Zhu Lian, a kind of spiritual herb that can cure pill poisoning. You should brew it for your brother according to my prescription," Yuwen Tuo said. "Your Sun Moon Empire's cultivation method relies too much on pills, but as the saying goes, every medicine has its side effects. Although pills can make you advance rapidly in the early stages of cultivation, as the pill poisoning accumulates, it will also greatly affect your foundation. That's why it's difficult for your country to produce a true Super Douluo. Your brother is taking pills a bit too early now. He shouldn't have taken too many in order to break through to Soul Saint. It will be very difficult for him to break through to Title Douluo in the future. Fortunately, the pill poisoning is not too severe yet, and I can resolve this hidden danger."

"How did you know?" Meng Hongchen was surprised. She hadn't told anyone outside the Sun Moon Royal Academy about her brother breaking through to the Soul Saint realm by taking drugs.

"Don't pry into this. I'll trade your brother's future for these eyes. That should be enough, right?" Yuwen Tuo said.

“Of course it’s enough. It seems you were prepared all along. My prince hasn’t changed at all. He never likes to owe anyone favors. If I hadn’t come today, you would have brought this to Grandpa anyway. It seems I came to the right place today,” Meng Hongchen said with a smile.

If Yuwen Tuo comes to exchange, it will have a completely different meaning than if she sends the Evil Eye over herself.

The former is a pure transaction, while the latter is a reciprocal exchange. Although the result is the same, the latter involves a friendship in addition to the transaction.

"Then I'll take my leave now." Meng Hongchen turned her head and looked at Xiao Xiao, who was holding Yuwen Tuo's hand. "You must be Xiao Xiao. Let me tell you, I will not give up on His Highness. Sooner or later, I will fight you head-on."

Given her current status, it's inconvenient for her to openly pursue Yuwen Tuo, as that would affect her grandfather's current neutrality plan. However, she believes that no matter how fickle a person is, they will eventually be blown away by the wind. At that time, she won't care whether Yuwen Tuo has a lover or not; her view on love is that once she's chosen, she will never give up.

"Hmph, let's fight then! Who's afraid of who!" Xiao Xiao wasn't afraid of any rivals in love, after all, she was Yuwen Tuo's wife who had been by his side through thick and thin during his most desolate times.

Meng Hongchen left satisfied.

Vina walked to Yuwen Tuo's side and said, "Junior brother, it seems that your biggest gain from your last trip to the Sun Moon Empire was not causing chaos in the Sun Moon Empire or killing so many evil soul masters, but rather demonstrating your strength and foundation, which made Jing Hongchen have different ideas."

“For Jing Hongchen, nothing is more important than Mingde Hall. As for us, even if Tianhun can destroy the Sun and Moon in the future, it will not destroy Mingde Hall. He found a way to ease the conflict with us from this,” Yuwen Tuo said.

Vina nodded. "That's right. The more I study soul tools, the more I realize their importance. It doesn't matter if the sect leader and the others don't care about soul tools, but I can't be like that. The significance of Mingde Hall's existence is that it is the ladder for the continent's progress."

"Senior sister, it seems you will be a good empress in the future." Yuwen Tuo was very satisfied with Vina's understanding of her.

He will help the Heavenly Soul Empire unify the continent, but he does not want the continent to fall into the hands of a tyrannical ruler.

Vina smiled slightly, "I can't do without your help, Grand Tutor Yuwen."

While Yuwentuo was secretly colluding with Mingdetang, Xingluo also quietly reached a cooperation agreement with Tangmen.

Xu Jiujiu used a large amount of money to purchase a large number of Zhuge Divine Crossbows from Huo Yuhao. All the major forces had a slight sense of the upcoming war and were thinking of strengthening themselves as much as possible.

This competition, though called a competition arena, is actually a small battlefield.
