Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

The door to the private room was gently closed, and Ju Zi and Xue Chen left.

The space became eerily silent.

Xia Die walked to the table and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the elixir.

The soul tool flashed, and it was stored inside.

"Two spiritual herbs, plus 5000 million gold soul coins."

"This prince is really generous!" Xia Die shook her head slightly.

Although it couldn't compare to Xu Jiawei's parting gift, it was still quite generous.

"What does Alliance Leader Shangguan think?"

"How much do you know about this Crown Prince?" Xia Die's gaze fell on Shangguan Wei'er, and Wang Xian'er followed suit.

"That's quite a generous gesture," Shangguan Wei'er said, coming back to her senses. "It seems that his physical disability has had a significant impact on him."

"As for his personality," Shangguan Wei'er was silent for a long time, "six months ago, he was gentle and refined, quite like a prince, but after that incident, his personality became somewhat unpredictable."

"Is this a case of being overly suspicious?" Xia Die asked.

"Yes." Shangguan Wei'er nodded.

"If Xu Tianran were still the same person he was six months ago, I would have recommended my disciple to him in the future, but now..."

"Eh, Alliance Leader Shangguan has disciples?" Xia Die asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, she's in the Heavenly Soul Empire now."

"Do you think the Crown Prince will take the elixir we provided?"

Seeing that Shangguan Weier was unwilling to talk about her disciple, Xia Die casually changed the subject.

"Probably not." Shangguan Wei'er shook her head.

"Perhaps he will come to see you soon, but that's just my guess."

Xia Die nodded gently upon hearing this.

"That's true. After being attacked once, it's not so easy to trust others."

Shangguan Weier's speculation coincided with Xia Die's thoughts.

As the leader of the Ordinary Alliance, Shangguan Wei'er has frequent contact with various high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire, so it's no surprise that she has a strong ability to judge people. As for Xia Die...

In over thirty million reincarnations, she also served as Aglaia's deputy in Ohma many times, helping to deal with those old fogies in the Elder Council, so she naturally had the ability to judge people.

Actually, when I first met Xu Jiawei...

Xia Die could roughly judge the other person's personality from their conversation.

They know how to weigh the pros and cons, but are also somewhat indecisive.

If it weren't for the Sun Moon Empire's presence, a constant thorn in their side, given the complex situation within Star Luo, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion would have ousted Xu Jiawei long ago.

Xia Die pulled herself out of her thoughts and shook her head. In any case, to confirm Xu Tianran's personality and way of doing things, she would have to actually meet him in person.

Judging from this contact, the other side will probably focus on intelligence gathering in the coming days.

The auction gradually came to an end. Xia Die did not buy anything more and left the auction house with Shangguan Wei'er.

Just before leaving the passageway, Xia Die sensed the aura of a Title Douluo.

This titled Douluo's life level is slightly stronger than Shangguan Wei'er's, roughly the same as Xue Chen's, and is probably the Jing Hongchen that Shangguan Wei'er mentioned.

It was a near miss, and the three of them left the auction venue.

now,

Inside Box 2 of the auction.

Ju Zi and Xue Chen stood in front of Xu Tianran, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Xu Tianran has a refined appearance and an extraordinary temperament.

Judging from her appearance alone, she looks to be about twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

"I roughly understand." Xu Tianran pondered, resting his chin on his hand. "A level 97 Title Douluo, who is also the number one healing Soul Master on the continent, who escaped from the Star Luo Empire."

"Whether this is exposed or kept secret, it has its own significance."

"Your Highness." Xue Chen stepped forward and cupped her hands in greeting.

"It's unlikely that we can win over the Healer Douluo. Even if she leaves the Star Luo Empire, she probably still has some feelings for Star Luo."

"And that girl named Xia Die..."

Xue Chen was silent for a moment, then said,

"I don't know if Miss Orange noticed, but the way Wang Xian'er looked at that girl was with equality and even a hint of respect, not like an elder looking at a junior."

"Oh?" Xu Tianran raised an eyebrow. "Ju Zi, what do you think?"

"Um……"

Orange fell into deep thought, clearly reminiscing.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't notice."

"However, the Doctor Immortal Douluo is indeed led by that little girl named Xia Die."

"Like a real guardian."

"Also, she mentioned the teacher behind her."

"I don't blame you."

Xu Tianran waved his hand, indicating that Ju Zi didn't need to be so reserved.

"Xuechen, go and investigate when they arrived in Mingdu, and what happened before and after that."

"Yes," Xue Chen nodded in response.

"And this pill." Xu Tianran shook the ceramic bottle in his hand, and a slight vibration could be heard as the pill touched the bottle wall.

"Let's wait and see, it won't make a difference if it takes a little more time."

"Brother, are you worried about something unexpected happening?"

Xu Tianzhen is naive, but not stupid.

She knows who is truly good to her.

"Hmm." Xu Tianran didn't refute, and patted the girl's head. "I'm sorry, I couldn't buy you the Crimson Flame Fruit this time."

"Hehe, it's okay." Xu Tianzhen enjoyed Xu Tianran's caress. "Brother, if it's inconvenient for you, I can help you test them out."

"No." Xu Tianran shook his head. "I'll keep an eye out for other elixirs that might suit you. Little sister, you don't need to get involved in what's happening here."

"Alright," Xu Tianzhen sighed.

"Knock knock knock".

An untimely knock sounded on the door.

Xu Tianran frowned.

Through the transmission of the soul tool, Xu Tianran learned who the person outside was.

"Master Xuechen, go open the door."

"Yes."

Xue Chen went to the door and unlocked it.

"Huh?" The old man, who hadn't come in yet, was surprised when he saw Xue Chen's face.

"Long time no see, Jing Hongchen."

"You, you are Shadow Douluo!?" Jing Hongchen exclaimed in surprise.

It should be noted that Shadow Douluo achieved the title of Title Douluo more than ten years earlier than him.

Unexpectedly, the supposedly missing Shadow Douluo has joined the Crown Prince's ranks.

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, His Highness is inside."

Xue Chen stepped aside to make way for Jing Hongchen to enter.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Princess." As fellow officials of the Sun Moon Empire, even though Jing Hongchen was a Title Douluo, he still had to bow to the Crown Prince to show his respect.

"The Master of the Red Dust Hall came for the spiritual medicine, didn't he?"

Xu Tianran's voice echoed in the private room, his expression unreadable.

"Yes."

Jing Hongchen told Xu Tianran about her granddaughter's situation.

Although he was not from the Crown Prince's lineage, as the head of Mingde Hall, he still considered himself to have some influence.

Xu Tianran removed the two spiritual herbs, and Xu Tianzhen was here again. Thinking of Xu Tianzhen's martial spirit, Jing Hongchen knew that there was probably not much hope for the Crimson Flame Fruit. He couldn't possibly compete with the princess for a spiritual herb.

But we should still be able to try for an 80,000-year-old snow lotus.

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, you are about to return empty-handed."

"I traded two medicinal herbs for a pill with another seller."

"Pills?" Jing Hongchen was taken aback.

He had only asked who had the two medicinal herbs and knew nothing about the elixir.

"Yes." Xu Tianran nodded. "That pill can regenerate severed limbs, which is why I was able to persuade the auction house manager to remove the two spiritual herbs."

"This..." Jing Hongchen saw Xu Tianran sitting in a wheelchair, and his legs, which were covered by a cloth and had already been lost, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Master Hongchen, those two came with Shangguan Weier from the Ordinary Alliance."

"If the hall master has any ideas, he can ask Shangguan Weier; perhaps he can find them."

"Alright." Jing Hongchen became excited. "Then I won't disturb Your Highness any longer."

Jing Hongchen turned and left, and the door to VIP room number 2 was slowly closed.

"Shouldn't we tell him about the Title Douluo?" Orange asked with some concern.

"The Ordinary Alliance will say so." Xu Tianran looked into the distance. "If she didn't say anything, or if something happened to Jing Hongchen, then the Ordinary Alliance can be sure that it has sided with the Star Luo Empire, and what those two said can be inferred to be false."

"The pills I'm auctioning off may also have problems."
