Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 11 Younger Brother and Uncle

"Luo Yun, what's wrong with you? This is a real combat exercise, not your private teaching session. You don't need to hold back."

Not only Coach Yan Feng, but Xu Mingxi also looked at Luo Yun across from him with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Yun, don't hold back, I can do it."

I'm not holding back not because I'm afraid you'll get hurt, but because I'm afraid I'll get beaten to death.

Luo Yun was also helpless. Ever since he learned that Xu Mingxi was his uncle, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

If I beat him and he gets seriously injured, my mother will definitely not let me off the hook.

"Mingxi, do you have time tonight? My father and mother would like to invite you to our home for dinner."

Ok?

The King and Queen of the Star Luo Kingdom? What do they want with me?

However, it's likely that Brother Yun told them about the Star Crown's amplification effect on the Star Tiger.

That's why they called me over to ask, and it seems there's nothing seriously wrong.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there tonight."

"Then it's settled. I'll send a carriage to pick you up tonight."

"Alright, send a carriage to the imperial residence when the time comes, I'll wait there."

Xu Mingxi planned to call Grandma Chao, as he was a little scared to go into the palace alone.

The imperial court? Does the Xu family still have this connection? Luo Yun didn't ask anything and simply agreed.

"Hey, you two, are you pretending I don't exist? Get back to training right now!"

Seeing that the coach was already waving the scoreboard and about to hit them, the two quickly continued training.

Luo Yun finally had something on his mind, even though it didn't even last a day.

After school, Xu Mingxi waited for Chao Tianxiang at the entrance of the teachers' office and went home with her under the shifty gaze of her colleagues.

"Cousin, couldn't you have come to see me tomorrow? Really."

"What, you have plans today?"

Before Chao Tianxiang could answer, a figure suddenly darted out from the side and stood in front of Xu Mingxi.

"Kid, stay away from Tianxiang."

Chao Tianxiang quickly separated the two and pulled the newcomer aside.

"Don't get the wrong idea, this is my cousin."

Xu Mingxi then saw the person's face clearly. His expression was serious and he didn't smile. This must be Lord Long.

"Hello, Xu Mingxi, Chao Tianxiang's cousin."

"Meng Shu, hello cousin."

Long Gong Meng Shu, a commoner, would have to treat her family well if he wanted to win the heart of the beauty.

It was the forced smile on his serious face that made Xu Mingxi snort. He didn't have to smile if he didn't know how.

The Dragon God and Snake Goddess walked ahead, chatting away as if they had endless things to say.

Xu Mingxi followed slowly behind, enjoying the scenery around her, preferring to ignore it.

"Tianxiang, I'll leave you here."

"Brother Long, be careful."

Long Gong Meng Shu is currently only a minor Soul Emperor. If he wants resources, he can only risk his life to fight in the Soul Beast Forest.

Xu Mingxi ignored the two people who were whispering sweet nothings at the entrance of the government office and walked straight in.

"Mingxi? Why are you back? Did something happen?"

As soon as Xu Mingxi entered the door, she saw Grandma Chao watering the flowers in the courtyard and told her about Luo Yun's invitation.

"Oh dear, look at my memory, I forgot to tell you."

Our queen shares the same surname as you, Xu, so you can go in peace.

The Queen's surname is also Xu? Grandma Chao wouldn't bring this up for no reason. Could it be that the Queen is also a member of the Star Crown Sect?

However, Xu Mingxi had largely lowered his guard, and the Chao family still dared not deceive the Xingguan Sect.

If Xu Mingxi were to encounter any trouble in Xingluo Capital, the Chao family would be unable to extricate themselves from the consequences.

Since Grandma Chao had said so, Xu Mingxi boarded the carriage bound for the palace.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, opposite the king and his family of five, sat someone they never expected.

"Grandma Yue, what brings you here?"

"Ya'er, I didn't expect you to look so much younger after becoming queen."

Xu Mingya's parents died in an accident when she was young, and she was practically raised by the Second Elder. Now, looking at the old man sitting opposite her, she almost burst into tears.

"You're joking, but you look much younger than I do. Could it be...?"

The Second Elder nodded reservedly. He had come to support Xu Mingxi, so he naturally had to demonstrate his strength.

Xu Mingya certainly believed him, but he didn't believe Luo Yi.

The mind of someone who can secure the throne is beyond the comprehension of those who live in seclusion.

Only true strength would prevent Luo Yi from harboring any ulterior motives.

"That's wonderful, Grandma Yue, your wish has finally come true."

Xu Mingya burst into tears of joy, and Luo Yi also straightened his posture slightly.

Titled Douluo, that's the pinnacle of combat power on the Douluo Continent. "I wonder what business the Star Crown Sect has with us, Elder, that you've come to our Star Luo Kingdom?"

Xu Mingya is unable to think clearly when faced with family ties, while Luo Yi has to consider the impact of a Title Douluo.

"Hehe, I've come here only to protect Xiao Mingxi. Everything else is none of my business."

Protecting Xu Mingxi, Xiao Yun is no ordinary student; not everyone is qualified to be protected by a Title Douluo.

"Rest assured, Elder, we will absolutely not interfere with Mingxi's studies and life."

"Thank you very much, King Xingluo. I will take my leave now."

The Second Elder disappeared from the main hall, leaving Luo Yi and his family alone, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Your Majesty, I remember this elder was ranked second in your Star Crown Sect, wasn't he?"

Xu Mingya glanced at Luo Yi, understood his meaning, and nodded.

Although Luo Yun didn't know what riddle his father and mother were playing, he knew the importance of the old lady from earlier.

To earn such respect from his father and mother, he must be a powerful figure; if not a Title Douluo, he must at least be a Soul Douluo.

And this powerful figure was actually Mingxi's protector.

Luo Yun instantly recalled Xu Mingxi's appearance and seemed to understand something.

"Father, Mother, I think I know why that old lady came."

My new classmate, although he was seventeen years old according to the enrollment information.

However, judging from his appearance and height, he is at most fourteen years old.

This was something that King Xingluo and his queen hadn't expected.

Although they heard some information about Xu Mingxi from Yun'er, they had never actually met him.

"Yun'er, you must take good care of your uncle."

"Yes, I know what to do."

King Xingluo nodded. He believed in his son and was certain he would not let him down.

When Xu Mingxi entered the palace in a carriage, King Xingluo was already waiting there.

"Mingxi is here, come and sit down."

Xu Mingxi was in a daze when she was pulled to sit down in the guest of honor's seat.

Looking at the King and Queen of Xingluo sitting on either side of him, and then at the three Luo brothers sitting below him, Xu Mingxi was a little confused.

"Um, Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. Brother Luo Yun helped me a lot at school."

"Hey, Mingxi, you should call me brother-in-law. My Empress Xu Mingya is your sister."

What? Not your aunt?

"Oh, hello sister and brother-in-law."

"Oh, and there's Luo Yun, your nephew. Just tell him what to do if you need anything."

Xu Mingxi felt embarrassed for Brother Luo Yun; the generational hierarchy was really messed up.

"No need, no need, I'll just call him Brother Luo Yun. He's taken good care of me at the academy."

"Alright, Mingxi, just treat this place like home. Let Luo Yun know whenever you need to come."

Xu Mingxi turned to look at Luo Yun, and the two looked at each other awkwardly before looking away.

"Thank you, sister and brother-in-law."

"It's alright, come on, have some food."

Today's event can be considered a family feast. As soon as the news spread, all the families in Canghui City labeled Xu Mingxi as someone not to be trifled with.

Even though the City Lord's Mansion was set up to monitor the Star Luo Kingdom, the City Lord himself did not want to offend a powerful kingdom.

Numerous forces have warned the students of Canghui Academy not to provoke those they cannot afford to offend.

Now that Xu Mingxi has found a powerful backer in Canghui City, no one will bother him anymore.

The Star Luo Kingdom also established contact with this genius who was protected by a titled Douluo.

A win-win situation for both sides.

Only Luo Yun spoke up awkwardly when he was taking Xu Mingxi home.

"Um, um,"

"Brother Yun, please just call me Mingxi."

"Oh, Mingxi, call me anytime if you need anything."

Luo Yun seemed relieved, as if he had finally completed a task, and let out a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Brother Yun, why did you go to Canghui Academy? Why aren't you studying at the academy in Xingluo Royal Capital?"

"Don't even mention it. I just want to stay away from my father and mother. They're just too nagging."

Don't tell them, okay? I'm only dropping you off here. I'm leaving now.

Xu Mingxi couldn't help but laugh as she watched Luo Yun flee in disarray.

Luo Yun usually takes care of everyone in the team like an older brother, including Ye Zhi Qiu.

This was the first time Xu Mingxi had seen him like this, and it was quite funny.
