Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 412 Between Emotion and Profit
The Shrek Academy members didn't react much, but Lin Xiao and Jing Hongchen, who were following behind Ju Zi, knew that Ju Zi's reason for coming here was definitely not for Xu Tianran.

Lin Xiao was involved in the attack on Xu Tianran. He only attacked Xu Tianran because he agreed to the deal with Ju Zi. It was his advice not to launch a direct attack on Shrek Academy.

As for Jing Hongchen, as the head of Mingde Hall, he holds a high position. Even if he doesn't fully understand the truth, he can probably guess some things.

Besides him, many people had various speculations about how Xu Tianran died. After all, even if it was Ye Xishui, the Limit Douluo, who made the move that night, it would have been impossible for her to break through the study's defenses silently.

The Tongming Sect and Lin Xiao, who suddenly appeared after that, became even more suspicious.

Unfortunately, once the outcome of Lin Xiao's battle with Du Busi was announced, these speculations remained just that—speculations hidden in the hearts of some people, never to be spoken aloud.

No one wants to offend such a master, much less offend such a master because of a dead man. Even if that man was once the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, he is still dead now.

"You may not know this, but my background is not exactly a secret in the Sun Moon Empire."

"When I was young, my family died in the war. After that, I worked with Your Majesty to make sure there was no more war on this continent."

Orange slowly put away the handkerchief she had used to wipe her tears, and when she spoke, the Shrek Academy students were once again caught off guard.

Is the goal to eliminate war altogether?
But this two-year-long continental war was started by the Sun Moon Empire, so what reason does she have to say such a thing?

Xian Lin'er, who had a bad temper, felt her eyebrows twitching wildly. If it weren't for Qian Duoduo holding her back, she probably would have already started cursing.

"If that's the case, then the Empress Dowager's way of maintaining peace in Douluo is indeed rather...unique."

Xuanzi thought for a moment and finally found a suitable word to describe it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao and Jing Hongchen, who were standing beside Ju Zi, both looked up at Xuan Zi. It seemed that he had changed a lot since Mu En's death; the Xuan Zi of the past would never have said such a thing.

Ju Zi's expression remained unchanged, seemingly oblivious to Xuan Zi's implied meaning. "The late emperor's methods were indeed somewhat radical. I had considered advising him, but I never imagined that he would leave this world before me in his efforts to eliminate evil spirit masters..."

As Ju Zi spoke, there was a hint of sadness in her voice.

Xuanzi wanted to refute, but looking at Ju Zi's grief-stricken appearance, he didn't know where to begin. For a moment, Xu Tianran seemed to have truly become a wise ruler who disregarded his own safety to eliminate evil spirit masters and maintain the stability of Douluo.

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over Xuan Zi discreetly, and he sighed inwardly.

In terms of cultivation and combat prowess, even a hundred oranges combined wouldn't be a match for Xuanzi. But when it comes to this kind of discussion, Xuanzi immediately found himself at a disadvantage against the oranges the moment he opened his mouth.

Before Xuanzi's banquet could even begin, the continental war launched by the Sun Moon Empire had already been completely distorted in Ju Zi's account.

Or perhaps, what Orange said wasn't entirely wrong.

When Xu Tianran, as the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, first launched the war on the continent, it was naturally to realize his ambition of unifying the Douluo Continent. However, as the war has continued to this point, the purpose of the war has become less pure.

The distance from the entrance of Shrek Academy to where Xuanzi was preparing the banquet was not far, but even in this short distance, the brief conversation between Ju Zi and Xuanzi made Xuanzi sweat profusely.

In fact, although Xuanzi is currently the most powerful Soul Master in Shrek Academy, he is not good at dealing with people like Ju Zi.

After all, with Mu En around before, Xuanzi didn't need to deal with such matters. Even when he needed to meet with people from the three great empires, they were always extremely respectful to Shrek Academy. No one like Ju Zi had ever appeared before him before him. With Mu En's passing, Xuanzi hastily took over the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master, but in reality, Shrek Academy's decisions were never solely his own.

In terms of cultivation, he was able to become a level 98 Super Douluo, which naturally shows his outstanding talent. He couldn't possibly be a stupid person, but in these aspects, he still has quite a few gaps compared to Ju Zi.

Seeing that they had arrived at the hall where the banquet was set up, Xuanzi hurriedly stepped forward and introduced Ju Zi to the members of the three imperial families, including Xu Jiawei.

Let the professionals handle this kind of thing.

"Greetings, everyone. I should have met you all earlier, but there have always been many misunderstandings between the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires, so I haven't had the opportunity until today. Finally, we are fortunate to have this chance to talk here."

Xu Jiawei and the other members of the royal family exchanged glances and simply nodded in greeting.

Although the territories of the three great empires no longer exist, they are still royalty and cannot lose face in front of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The experts following Xu Jiawei and his group became more vigilant after Lin Xiao entered the hall, constantly scanning the area with their eyes, but always keeping a portion of their attention on Lin Xiao.

After all, Lin Xiao is now quite famous, and even though he didn't show any imposing manner, he still commands respect.

Lin Xiao seemed oblivious, sitting behind Ju Zi with Jing Hongchen, listening to Ju Zi and the royal families of the three great empires exchanging meaningless pleasantries, while also quietly discussing the food prepared by Shrek Academy with Jing Hongchen.

until--

"If you all agree, you will still be able to manage the territories of the three great empires as lords in the future Sun Moon Empire."

As Ju Zi's voice fell silent, not only did the people from the three great empires fall silent, but Lin Xiao and Jing Hongchen also stopped their discussion and looked at her.

"What does this mean, Queen Mother?"

Among the three great empires, someone asked the question.

"My meaning is very clear: my Sun Moon Empire unified the continent only to ensure that there is no more war on this continent, and I have no intention of completely annexing the three great empires."

“From now on, we are all one family, but we can still preserve our original local customs. Just as some people like spicy food and some people like sour food, I have no intention of imposing too many rules on the people.”

"And there will probably be no one as suitable as you all to govern these territories."

Before Xu Jiawei could even speak, the other members of the royal family behind him began to stir restlessly.

Xu Jiawei felt a chill run down his spine.

He roughly understood Ju Zi's plan. The Sun Moon Empire did not intend to directly send people to manage the territories of the three great empires, but instead would choose the original officials of the three great empires to govern them.

However, it is no longer in the name of the Star Luo Empire, but in the name of the Sun Moon Empire's fiefdom.
