Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 206 Response

After Duke Lingmao finished reading the letter, he looked up at Dai Zhen and asked, "Your Majesty, judging from the contents of the letter, the other party is obviously fearless. I just don't know if it's just bluffing or if they really have real skills."

"So, what should we do? If the other party is just bluffing, it's easier to handle. But if they are truly fearless, we'll be at a disadvantage if we take any action."

"Moreover, if we send a large army to attack, the Kingdom of Barak can be easily dealt with. However, this could trigger a chain reaction, and the Heavenly Dou Empire will definitely not sit idly by and will intervene."

"Furthermore, we are not afraid of the intervention of the Heaven Dou Empire. After all, in terms of military equipment and combat power, we are stronger and not afraid of fighting a major war with the Heaven Dou Empire."

"However, the Spirit Hall is watching us closely. If the Spirit Hall allows our two great empires to fight a war, and then intervenes and forces us to stop when we are exhausted, it will definitely be a loss for our Star Luo Empire."

After listening to Duke Lingmao's analysis, Dai Zhen nodded and said, "I know all this too. Moreover, when the Spirit Hall finally intervenes, it's definitely not with good intentions. This will only deepen our hatred for the Heaven Dou Empire. If major changes occur on the Douluo Continent in the future, this will be a thorn in our side."

"However, even if we don't use a large army to deal with this matter, we should ignore what the letter says for the time being until we have figured out the truth about the other side."

Duke Lingmao nodded in agreement, then asked, "Your Majesty, how do you intend to resolve this matter?"

Dai Zhen thought for a moment and said, "We can't just agree to their conditions because they wrote a couple of letters. Otherwise, where would the dignity of my Star Luo Empire be? Where would the dignity of the royal family be?"

"However, since the other party can make such confident statements in the letter, their strength must be quite considerable."

"Furthermore, I think the other side may have guessed that we wouldn't use a large army to resolve our family matters, which shows that they have capable people on their side, otherwise they wouldn't dare to provoke our two families like this."

Then, Dai Zhen stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "As for the other possibility we've guessed, it's probably unlikely. However, we can't be too careless. Let's find out more about the other party first!"

After listening to Dai Zhen's analysis, Duke Lingmao also felt that it made sense. With the Star Luo Empire's intelligence network, all the major forces on the Douluo Continent had long been thoroughly investigated.

Right now, they just haven't figured out where Zhu Zhuqing is. If they knew that Zhu Zhuqing was at Yuan Changqing's house, Dai Zhen and the Lingmao family wouldn't have to think about it so much.

Although Yuan Changqing kept a low profile and did not do anything earth-shattering on the Douluo Continent after becoming a Title Douluo, few people outside of the major powers knew that he was already a Title Douluo.

However, the Star Luo Empire knew that Yuan Changqing was a Title Douluo. It's just that the Star Luo Empire hadn't traced Yuan Changqing to this matter yet, and the two letters didn't mention him. This was to save face for the Star Luo Empire and avoid a complete falling out, so that they wouldn't think that Yuan Changqing was threatening the Star Luo royal family.

Duke Lingmao added, "In that case, let's make two plans. First, sending ordinary people to investigate might not be very effective and could even result in significant losses. Therefore, let's send experts to investigate directly!"

"Secondly, once we've investigated their strength, if they're just bluffing, we won't say anything more and will eliminate them first. But I think that's very unlikely. Otherwise, we'll have to see their actual strength and whether it's worth our time to take action."

Dai Zhen agreed to this plan and finally decided, "Okay, let's do it this way."

Finally, Dai Zhen dispatched two Soul Douluo-level powerhouses, a married couple named Dale and Zhu Ling. They were a combination of a royal collateral branch and the Netherworld Cat family, and were capable of using the Soul Fusion Technique. Dai Zhen was at ease entrusting this matter to them.

...

When Dale and Zhu Ling arrived in Soto City, they didn't rush to complete their mission. Instead, they found a hotel to stay in and planned to explore Soto City properly first.

After settling into their hotel room, Zhu Ling asked Dale, "Dale, what do you think of the person we're investigating this time?"

Dale shook his head and said, "Judging from the information His Majesty gave us, it's hard to say. However, it must be something extraordinary, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent two Soul Douluos like us to do this."

Zhu Ling nodded and said, "Then it seems our mission this time will be a bit difficult!"

"Yes, I didn't expect that someone in your Zhu family would have the courage to do such a thing. I just don't know if the person she chose can protect her." Dale also didn't quite understand Zhu Zhuqing's actions.

Zhu Ling said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "So what? It's still better than your Dai family's third prince, right? At least our Zhu family has the courage to do it. I think that third prince is a good-for-nothing. We know what's really going on here."

"Also, so what if the Third Prince is talented? With his appearance, choosing him as a contender for the throne is worse than not choosing him at all."

Dale sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Of all the princes in their generation, only the eldest and third princes have the highest talent. That's their fate, and it's not something we can decide."

Zhu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, the fate of those with high talent in our two families was already predetermined. It's just that thinking about it, such a fate is really cruel. Fortunately, we don't have to participate in that kind of competition."

"Yes, perhaps that's what it means to give up something to gain something. After all, if you want to gain something, you will definitely lose something else," Dale remarked.

Zhu Ling then said, "Dale, I heard that the Third Prince is in Soto City. I wonder what he's like now. Why don't we go and see how he is?"

Dell shook his head and said, "Forget about it for now, let's finish this mission first!"

"All right."

After discussing it, Dell and Zhu Ling carefully searched for useful information in the days that followed.

Before the two arrived, Dai Zhen had told Dale and Zhu Ling that the other party might have considerable influence in Soto City, and that if they were not careful, they might expose themselves.

Therefore, when Dell and Yuan Zhuling were investigating, they chose a rather subtle approach, trying to find out useful information without leaving a trace, so as not to inadvertently attract the other party's attention.

Of course, this method takes longer, but it is safer.

After some time, both of them investigated the more powerful families in Soto City, but found no trace of Zhu Zhuqing.

However, this is still some news, because it eliminates these families. But the next piece of news is bad news.

Dale and Zhu Ling discovered that there was only one force left in Soto City that they hadn't yet investigated: the Yuan Changqing family in Blue Silver Village.

The two also learned from Soto City that this force was very powerful. Although the people in Soto City did not know the exact strength of Yuan Changqing's family, they knew that the other families in Soto City were unwilling to face them.

Yuan Changqing had never displayed his Title Douluo strength in Soto City, so the families here were unaware that he was already a Title Douluo.

However, just because the people in Soto City don't know doesn't mean the Star Luo Empire's royal family doesn't know.

Therefore, Dale and Zhu Ling no longer dare to investigate Yuan Changqing's family. If Zhu Zhuqing is really in Yuan Changqing's family, what use would it be even if they found out? They might even suffer a great loss.

So Zhu Ling asked, "Dale, what do we do now? Should we continue? If we continue, we might both be in danger."

Dale knew Zhu Ling was telling the truth. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's not investigate any further for now. Let's report it and see what His Majesty says. Let's stay here for now."

Upon hearing Dale's words, Zhu Ling replied, "Sigh, that's all we can do. I really didn't expect that Zhu Qing would have such good luck. It seems that she might be able to escape her fate this time."
