Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

As the saying goes, it takes three days to catch 100,000 pigs, so the difficulty of eliminating 100,000 evil spirit masters is naturally not low.

Just then, in the distance, the sound of hooves and neighing mingled; someone was approaching.

"Hai Zang!"

Facing Xue Luochuan, who was covered in stubble and travel-worn, rushing towards him, Xue Haicang did not hesitate and kicked him in the plate armor on his chest, sending him flying and rolling at least dozens of meters away.

"You brat! What are you doing?!" Seemingly exhausted, Xue Luochuan, covered in dirt and mud, sat down on the ground and refused to get up.

"What are you doing here? Coming to your death?!"

"I came here to save you! Do you know how far I ran?! You come up and start hitting me. I treated you like a younger brother, but you treat me like a cousin, right?!"

Xue Haicang, already exasperated, was at a loss for words. Ning Rongrong knew to rush back to Tiandou City, so why was his foolish brother so eager to die?

"Your other brother wants us both dead! He can't do anything unless you come and bring the army back!"

Xue Qinghe elevated the tactic of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements to near-mythical status through a single, unified battle.

In Xue Haicang's view, the other party was doing the same thing; their goal was to surround and kill him, and it would be even better if they could lure Xue Luochuan out.

If Qian Daoliu doesn't come, after killing Xue Haicang, their next target will be Xue Luochuan. The best option for the Second Prince is to march on Tiandou City, cut off their supply lines, and wait for the situation to change.

Taking off his helmet, Xue Luochuan scratched his head. "Avalanche... surely he wouldn't be in that situation..."

"Oh right! Big brother is still alive?!"

No one knows what the Second Prince was thinking. After all, after Xue Qinghe's death, he was lost in thought for a while and directly withdrew his troops back to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

With the western defense line almost completely empty, this gave Dai Mubai room to retreat.

That battle made Ning Rongrong famous, but it almost ruined the reputation of the second prince. After all, he was the first person to see Xue Qinghe die and was the biggest witness.

Without exposing his communication soul tool, his words and subsequent actions led to rather serious consequences.

If it weren't for his lack of power within Tiandou City, his status as the second prince, and Ning Rongrong's recent ascension to the throne, this alone would have been enough to wipe him out completely.

"Xue Luochuan, what's wrong with you? Does it really matter whether our elder brother lives or dies?" Xue Haicang grabbed Xue Luochuan's collar and roared, "Times have changed! What good would it do if he really came back?"

"Times have changed? Xue Hai Cang, you're still eyeing that position, aren't you?!"

Xue Hai Cang Qi laughed, but he suppressed his anger. "Come with me!"

With Chen Xin present, there were some things I couldn't say.

After apologizing to Chen Xin, Xue Haicang pulled Xue Luochuan and headed into the city.

Once they reached the secluded spot, Xue Hai Cangcai said to Xue Luochuan, "Xue Luochuan, it's fine if you lead your army north, but you might still be able to contend for the throne!"

Being insulted by his younger brother, Xue Luochuan was naturally indignant. "Xue Haicang! Do you know what you're saying?! Let me tell you, this throne will always belong to the eldest brother!"

Xue Haicang wanted to beat his idiot brother to death. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. "Big brother, big brother! All you know is your big brother! The Douluo Continent is now under Ning Rongrong's rule! The entire Star Luo Empire is about to be taken over by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Not to mention the domestic ones, your old subordinates!"

Who can you command in the frontline legions? Chen Sha? Yin Jin? Or Huan Hongchen?

"Xue Luochuan, oh Xue Luochuan! What was the point of my desperate defense of Xilu City?! You idiot, you've missed your last chance to ascend the throne!"

The moment the news of Xue Qinghe's death arrived was the best opportunity. At that time, Xue Luochuan chose to march north directly and seize control of everything in Tiandou City with overwhelming force. The Tiandou royal family could have survived, but he did not.

Without Xue Qinghe, Xue Luochuan became like a headless fly, not knowing what to do.

Now that he's heard Xue Qinghe is still alive, he's acting like he's taken a stimulant again.

This time, however, it was Xue Luochuan who grabbed Xue Haicang by the collar. "I said! This throne will always belong to my eldest brother! I won't fight for it! Neither you nor Xue Beng can even dream of it!"

"What the hell..."

The two brothers argued for a long time. It was a good thing they were brothers. They argued from eating to showering, and even when they slept in the same bed, they still argued. It wasn't until Ning Rongrong arrived in Tiandou City, went up to the Golden Hall, and broadcasted her entire process of calling a sheep a horse.

"I, the Second Prince Xue Luochuan, agree to the Supreme Ruler's request!" After saying this, Xue Luochuan glanced at Xue Haicang with extreme arrogance.

Xue Haizang was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand what kind of poison this guy had been poisoned with. Whenever Xue Qinghe was involved, his mind seemed to have been eaten by Ning Rongrong.

He had no choice; forcibly placing Xue Hong on the throne was already the best option. "I, the Third Prince Xue Haicang, agree to the Supreme Ruler's request!"

It's important to understand that it wouldn't be impossible for Ning Rongrong and her group to destroy the Heavenly Dou Empire, so whether or not they fight for the throne is meaningless.

In the Douluo Continent, whoever is in charge doesn't really care about that position anymore. Xue Beng probably understood this, which is why he wanted to go all in, but Xue Luochuan didn't.

Ultimately, the nephew, who was second in line to the throne, still managed to claim the legitimate claim.

However, Xue Luochuan remained stubborn. "Third brother, it seems that eldest brother is really still alive. How about we go back to Tiandou City?"

"We can't go back! We must go to the front lines! The struggle within Tiandou City is bound to escalate to a fever pitch. If we go back, we'll likely become the target of everyone's attacks, and the situation will become even more difficult to control! Only by returning to the front lines can we have a glimmer of hope!"

Two powerful princes led their troops back to the capital. Even if you have no ulterior motives, others will assume you do.

Even if you don't have the idea of ​​profiting from the conflict between the snipe and the clam, it's best to stay on the sidelines and watch.

Both sides will inevitably have accounted combatants on the field. What do they have? Are they just going to go and get themselves killed?

Xue Luochuan was still hesitant, "Not going back? What about my older brother..."

Left with no other option, Xue Haicang could only be more direct: "Second Brother, we can't go back now. We have to go back with the others. Do you understand?"

"Oh."

-----------------

Inside the former Crown Prince's council hall, the short meeting among the group was almost over.

With a slight sigh, Ning Rongrong concluded, "The storm will not stop, so I urge everyone to work together with me."

Then everyone bowed to each other.

Before leaving, Chen Sha asked out of the blue, "Rongrong, who is the child by the Crown Prince's side?"

Ning Rongrong didn't pay much attention. After all, women always love to gossip, and she liked to talk about this kind of thing too. "Oh, that's my brother, Ning Yunfei's child, so he's my nephew."

But then the beautiful, mature woman with long, straight black hair narrowed her eyes and said in a strange tone, "Ah~ As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a great family is indeed different~"

"Ah...right..."

Ning Rongrong didn't pay much attention, and Chen Sha turned and left after she finished speaking.

But upon opening the council chamber door, they saw the tiny Qian Shui, accompanied by a silver-haired beauty and a tiny angel lady. On her shoulder was the unconscious Xiao Wu, who had already broken free of the spider silk.

Facing Qian Shui's serious face, Chen Sha's eyes darted around, "Haha... Little Shui, you're definitely going to give yourself away, it doesn't matter whether I say it or not, right?"

I don't know how many times I've cursed the peeping tom behind my back. It's just a matter of identity, is it really that big of a deal?

Chen Sha also considered that Qian Shui's current identity must be fabricated, and it wouldn't be difficult to cover up the lie; she could just find Ning Fengzhi.

But if this were truly possible, Qian Shui would have already sought it out. He is a descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and not seeking out Ning Fengzhi was his own choice.

With the intention of getting a little revenge after being scolded, which wouldn't cause any harm, Chen Sha gave Ning Rongrong a little something to wonder about. Whether she could get what she wanted depended on the child's intelligence.

Having too strong a sense of perception isn't always a good thing, because Qian Shui was no longer able to care about Sheng Chen Sha's energy.

Feeling something was amiss, Ning Rongrong finally realized a crucial question, one that Qian Qingyu had diverted her attention from and that she hadn't thought about in detail.

Who are Ning Qian and Ning Qianqian? Are they really children of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and really her brother Ning Yunfei's children?

The child had copied her words exactly, which almost made her lose her temper, so she didn't think about it too much.

But now that I think about it, something still doesn't seem right. For example, he's too smart! He's too smart for a six-year-old.

Also, how did he know that I had run away from home?

At the same time, that girl doesn't seem right now. She may be childish, but why didn't Ning Fengzhi mention such a cute girl before?

It should be noted that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has many male members but few female members; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so pampered.

In a split second, deciding to stick to the simplest method, Ning Rongrong took out her communication soul tool and dialed Ning Fengzhi's number.

Ning Rongrong: "Dad, are you free?"

Ning Fengzhi: "What's wrong?"

Ning Rongrong: "I want to ask, does Brother Yunfei have children?"

Ning Fengzhi: "You silly child, you know too little about what's happening in the sect. He's not even married, how could he have a child? Our sect is busy..."

Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong's thoughts had already drifted away.

Without a doubt, Ning Qian does not exist in this world!

But what about his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda? How did he know her brother's name? And how did he end up by Xuehong's side?

What horrified her even more was that Dugu Yan said Xue Qinghe and Ning Huahua were not dead, but how could they not be dead?

Yin Jin was present at the time, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

She hadn't thought about this matter carefully yet. She originally thought that Qian Shui had saved Xue Qinghe and Ning Huahua's lives, but the key point was that they seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Qian Shui and Qian Renxue also disappeared, as if these four people had never existed in this Douluo Continent.

What did Chen Sha mean by what she just said?

Ning Fengzhi: "Rongrong, Rongrong? Are you listening?"

Ning Rongrong's thoughts were interrupted by Ning Fengzhi's questioning voice coming from the communication soul tool.

Ning Rongrong: "Oh, Dad, I'm listening."

Ning Fengzhi: "You child, have you been working too hard lately? You need to get some rest."

Ning Rongrong: "It's okay, Dad, I have something to do!"

After saying that, Ning Rongrong turned off the communication soul tool, and then she stared intently at it.

Even this seemingly magical object was shrouded in mystery in Ning Rongrong's eyes; everything that happened to her seemed to be filled with enigma.

It can even be traced back to the appearance of Ning Huahua.

She recalled that when Qian Shui appeared at Shrek Academy in Soto City, it was very strange. For example, Ning Huahua's attitude towards Qian Shui was as if she were a stranger, without even saying hello.

What's even stranger is that the people around her have very strange attitudes towards Xue Qinghe and Ning Huahua, such as Xiao Wu and Qian Shuishui.

When Xiao Wu returned to the former Crown Prince's residence that day and said she wanted to see Xue Hong, her reaction after opening the main door was very strange. It was as if she knew something and instantly lost interest.

Returning to the child, it was so strange. A child shouldn't be so quiet, much less so intelligent. Even when he went to court, he didn't look around curiously, nor did he seem afraid.

What if he's not really a child?

Ning Rongrong couldn't figure it out for a moment, but she could ask the person in question. Before she knew it, she had already arrived at the entrance of the council hall and opened the door.

What came into view was Chen Sha with a strange expression, and that strange child Ning Qian.
