Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Mingdu
Inside the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, Jing Hongchen stroked the envelope presented by Director Lin, her expression puzzled: "Is this really a letter from Elder Kong?"

“It’s absolutely true, Master Hongchen. I’m afraid His Majesty and Elder Kong have noticed something.” As Jing Hongchen’s confidant, Director Lin had already been secretly serving the Jin Tianming family.

Jing Hongchen tapped her fingertips on the sandalwood table, pondering how to explain things to His Majesty and the Hall of Imperial Sacrifices.

The Crown Prince has been missing for several days; this is no small matter.

While it's not unusual for the crown prince to occasionally disappear, the fact that he vanished within his own jurisdiction inevitably arouses suspicion, and some people will certainly seize the opportunity to make a big fuss about it.

What's more troublesome is that he knows the inside story of the Crown Prince's disappearance, but since he has already pledged allegiance to Jin Tianming, he can only try to fabricate a story.

"Director Lin, immediately send a message to Jin Tianming to inquire whether things have been handled properly over there." Jing Hongchen made a decisive decision, "I will go and meet with Elder Kong myself."

"Yes, sir!" Director Lin accepted the order and left.

Jing Hongchen hurriedly left the office and used a level nine flying soul tool to fly swiftly towards the Hall of Worship.

Jin Tianming walked out of the secret room and went straight to Ye Xishui's room, raising his hand to knock on the door.

A moment later, Ye Xishui opened the door from the inside.

She looked at Jin Tianming with a cold gaze and asked in a flat tone, "What is it?"

"There is something I hope Senior Ye Xishui can help me with."

Jin Tianming was already used to Ye Xishui's indifferent attitude towards him, and didn't even care.

In his opinion, Ye Xishui would probably only show a crazy and worshipful expression when talking about Sheng Yangyue, which might be a different kind of star-chasing behavior.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui did not refuse directly, but asked, "What is it?"

"I would like to ask you to turn Xu Tianran into a puppet."

"Turn him into a puppet?" Ye Xishui frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but suggest, "Instead of turning him into a puppet, you might as well kill him and support a more obedient puppet emperor. That might be more conducive to achieving your goal."

“That would be too much of a waste of time.” Jin Tianming’s lips curled up slightly, a gentle smile gleaming in his eyes. “Besides, you must be quite skilled in this area, senior, right?”

Ye Xishui stared at Jin Tianming's familiar smile, her pupils contracted slightly, and her tone was somewhat complicated: "Your smile is seven or eight parts similar to Sheng Yangyue's, but your personalities are completely different."

"Really?" Jin Tianming raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with doubt, which quickly turned to curiosity. "Senior, could you tell me more about your story with Sheng Yangyue?"

"Didn't you already know everything?" Ye Xishui rolled her eyes in annoyance, feeling quite helpless at the other party's knowing-it-all act of asking questions when she recalled reading Sheng Yangyue's memories.

Jin Tianming shook his head solemnly, his gaze sincere: "Those memories are just cold fragments. I would rather hear Senior Ye Xishui tell me his true evaluation of him personally."

Ye Xishui remained silent for a moment, then looked up into the distance and finally sighed softly, "Let's talk as we walk."

The fact that someone was willing to listen to her pent-up emotions over the years, especially the one she hated about her family, provided an opportunity for her to vent.

Jin Tianming lowered his eyes to conceal the triumphant glint in them, and a barely perceptible smile curved his lips.

They've taken the bait; now we have free labor in our hands, right?
"That guy Sheng Yangyue is very handsome, his looks are no less than yours. I heard him say that the heirs of your family are either handsome men or beautiful women, is that true?" Ye Xishui said, her eyes full of curiosity.

Jin Tianming nodded slightly. Indeed, Tian Mucheng was handsome to begin with, so his clone's looks were naturally outstanding as well. "No wonder he doesn't like me." A look of sadness suddenly appeared on Ye Xishui's face.

Seeing this, Jin Tianming was at a loss for words, thinking that this person's emotional changes were too unpredictable.

But the next second, her expression suddenly changed, and her tone was filled with resentment: "He was not only a handsome man of that era, but also a top genius. Me and those two mudskippers were like children facing an adult in front of him."

"Aren't there two dragons?"

“They were originally two dragons, but when they encountered the true dragon, Sheng Yangyue, they became like eels.” Ye Xishui curled her lips, her words full of disdain, and even rolled her eyes, as if recalling some unpleasant past.

Jin Tianming almost burst out laughing when he heard this explanation.

What would Mu En and Long Xiaoyao think if they heard their goddess belittle them like this?
But thinking about it carefully, given Long Xiaoyao's personality, he probably wouldn't care even if he heard what Ye Xishui just said.
"It was then that I truly understood the difference between a genius and a monster. The so-called monster geniuses of Shrek Academy were nothing more than ordinary geniuses in his eyes."

At this point, Ye Xishui couldn't help but look at Jin Tianming, "In this era, I feel that you are the next him, because I see his confidence in you, but you are more humane."

"And he is a truly cold and ruthless person."

After she finished speaking, Ye Xishui fell silent, a hint of pain flashing across her face, and she stopped talking.

Jin Tianming did not intend to ask any further questions.

The real purpose of all this discussion is simply to get Ye Xishui to take action and turn Xu Tianran into a puppet.

However, Ye Xishui suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Jin Tianming, abruptly asking, "Is he plotting something again? Was that memory you mentioned back then also part of his scheme?"

Upon hearing this question, Jin Tianming's expression remained calm and unchanged.

He had long anticipated that Ye Xishui would ask this question, and had made preparations for it many times.

Ye Xishui stared intently at Jin Tianming, who was expressionless and simply shaking his head.

A moment later, she revealed a sickly smile and stared straight into Jin Tianming's golden eyes: "Next time you need to act more convincingly. There was a flaw in your eyes just now."

"However, if I can see him one last time, I'm willing to be tricked by you. Although I don't know what your family is thinking, as long as you do what you promised me, this old woman won't bother asking any more questions."

After saying that, Ye Xishui went into the secret room first, leaving Jin Tianming standing there alone.

As Jin Tianming watched Ye Xishui enter the secret room, a hint of apprehension finally appeared in his usually calm gaze.

This woman really does know everything, but she's capable of anything for the sake of Sheng Yangyue's clone.

She truly deserves to be called the super "crazy woman" of Dou Er.

Thinking it over, he stepped into the secret room.
Today, Xu Tianran, known as the Prince of Sun and Moon, is about to die, and the one who will end his life is none other than his newly recognized godmother.

Faced with such an outcome, how would he feel?
