"Uncle Gu, this Brother Gu is Gu Han, the disciple of Uncle Jian, and the lady beside him is Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall."

"Senior Bone."

Gu Han and Bibi Dong greeted the other party respectfully.

"Yeah, you're pretty good."

Bone Douluo carefully examined Gu Han and found that the other party was indeed quite good. At such a young age, his soul power was already at least level 55. Sword Man was right; the other party had indeed struck gold.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

"Oh, no need for that. Since you and Feng Zhi are brothers and you are also the Sword Master's disciple, you can just call me Uncle Bone."

Then Gu Rong turned his gaze to Bibi Dong and said with a smile, "I've heard Jian Ren say that the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall is also exceptionally talented. Seeing her today, I can confirm it. Remember to call Jian Ren 'Uncle Jian,' and you can call me 'Uncle Gu' just like Gu Xiaozi."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has fully aligned itself with the Spirit Hall, and with the Spirit Hall's help, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School even shows signs of rising to a higher level. Even without Chen Xin's connection, Gu Rong would not have been cold to the people of the Spirit Hall.

"Uncle Bone".

Gu Han and Bibi Dong greeted each other again.

"Well, the auction items are about to be announced. Let's find somewhere to talk after the auction is over."

Bone Douluo responded and then spoke.

This is an auction house, not a place for casual conversation.

The group nodded in agreement and turned their gaze to the platform below.

The auctioneer was naturally a beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure, wearing an evening gown. A rectangular platform was raised next to her, on which a jade pendant was placed.

"This is a soul tool with a space of fifty cubic meters. The starting bid is 30,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 5,000 gold soul coins higher."

Fifty cubic meters is indeed quite a large amount.

Moreover, it is an extremely rare soul tool.

There were naturally many people taking pictures.

But in the end, the wealthy Ning Fengzhi won it for 100000 gold soul coins.

Chapter 84 Snow Star: I'm Not Interested in the Throne

No one really cared about the soul tool; if they didn't manage to get it, so be it.

Soon someone brought it up, and the person who came was quite unexpected. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, tall and thin, dressed in luxurious clothes.

"Sect Leader Ning, I didn't expect to see you here."

The visitor greeted them warmly.

Gu Han and Bibi Dong recognized this person; he was Xue Xing, the fourth prince of Tian Dou.

This is the person who accompanied Prince Xueye to Wuhun City to attend the Pope's wedding last time.

"Your Highness Snow Star."

Ning Fengzhi smiled elegantly and politely, and at the same time reached out and put the jade pendant away.

Xue Xing had sharp eyes and spotted Bibi Dong almost immediately. She was stunningly beautiful, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, without a doubt, and impossible to look away from.

Gu Han stepped forward, blocking the other person's view, and looked at them with a forced smile: "Your Highness Xue Xing, do you still recognize me after we parted ways in Wuhun City?"

Xue Xing was taken aback for a moment, then carefully examined Gu Han, her eyes widening as she recognized him.

"You, what are you doing here?"

There was no way around it; Gu Han was just too amazing in that competition, so much so that he clearly overshadowed Tang Hao. Xue Xing was also there at the time, and the impression was too deep for her to miss.

"Hmph, Princess Xuexing, if you've come to deliver something, you can leave. If you've come to curry favor, there's no need for this."

Gu Rong showed no respect whatsoever to the other party, even if they were royalty.

On this continent, strength is always the most respected. Every Title Douluo-level being holds a transcendent status. As for the royal family, they can give them face if they want, or they can only swallow their pride if they don't.

Xue Xing immediately stared at Bibi Dong, which made Gu Douluo, who loved Bibi Dong so much that he lost his goodwill towards her and spoke to her without any respect.

Although being stared at made Bibi Dong unhappy, she was also pleased when her junior brother stepped forward to shield her, so she didn't immediately lash out.

Otherwise, she would have already slashed him with her sword.

"Uh, Your Excellency Bone Douluo is joking. I would like to invite Sect Master Ning to a private room for a chat."

As she spoke, Xue Xing, fearing that the other party would refuse, quickly added, "This concerns matters of the Empire, so please, Sect Master Ning, do not refuse."

Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to Gu Han and Bibi Dong: "Brother Gu, Your Highness, may we go together?"

"nature."

Gu Han nodded slightly, understanding Ning Fengzhi's refusal. He had only brought up the two of them to make Xue Xing back down.

"This……"

Xuexing hesitated for a moment, but then nodded as if she had made up her mind.

"Alright, in that case, please follow me."

Gu Han and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. However, since the other party had said so, they became curious.

Ning Fengzhi gestured, "Please lead the way, Your Highness."

"Alright, please follow me."

Xue Xing nodded and led the group to the lounge set up in the auction house.

Inside the room, Ning Fengzhi and the others sat on the sofa, looking at Xue Xing with suspicion. She lingered suspiciously around the door, and only closed it after making sure no one was around.

Bone Douluo frowned slightly and asked, "Xue Xing, what exactly are you up to?"

"Your Majesty Bone Douluo, please wait a moment."

As Xue Xing spoke, she took out a soul bone that shone with the light of a gem from her soul tool.

"This is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!?"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened in astonishment. Moreover, it was a gemstone-type soul bone. The aura of this soul bone was no less than 50,000 years old. Even the powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not have a soul bone of this quality.

Holding the soul bone in her hands, Xue Xing knelt down beside Ning Fengzhi, pleading, "Please, Sect Master Ning, save me!"

Ning Fengzhi seemed to sense something, pretending not to understand the other party's intentions, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the other party up, looking flattered.

"Your Highness Xuexing, what do you mean by this? You are a prince of the Heavenly Dou Dynasty, who would dare to threaten your life?"

"And what's this talk of saving lives?"

Xuexing refused to get up, keeping his head down so that his expression was not visible, and his voice was slightly choked.

"Sect Leader Ning, if you don't agree to save my life, I... I won't get up."

"Junior brother, could this guy have failed in his power struggle with the Crown Prince and is afraid that the Crown Prince will kill him after he ascends the throne?" Bibi Dong tugged at Gu Han's arm and whispered in his ear.

Gu Han put his index finger to his lips and said, "Senior sister, let's just watch the show."

No one present was a fool. Xue Xing was definitely trying to make a final stand by relying on the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The fact that the other party is in such a hurry today, and that it is Crown Prince Xueye who is attending the competition, not the old emperor, suggests that the old emperor's health is probably failing.

With the old emperor nearing his end, if Xue Ye wants to ascend the throne smoothly, Xue Xing, who is known as a wise king but refuses to go to his fiefdom, will inevitably become a thorn in his side, and he will want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Xuexing found Qibao today, probably because the military has no support for her.

Either they have fewer people than Xueye, making their chances of winning slim, so they want to seize power by relying on external forces.

"Oh."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and remained silent, watching Xue Xing's performance quietly.

"Oh, Your Highness Xuexing, please speak frankly. I will help if I can."

Ning Fengzhi sighed. This dragging on wasn't going to work; he should let the other party make their point clear.

Xue Xing's heart stirred slightly. She was helped up by the other party, let out a long sigh, and her expression was slightly sad.

"Alas... Sect Leader Ning, you may not know this, but my father's health is failing. I have already consulted the imperial physician, and I'm afraid he won't live past this month."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, then he flicked his sleeves and turned away with an air of grandeur.

“Your Highness Xuexing, what do you mean by this? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no interest in the royal family’s struggles. I’m afraid I can’t keep this soul bone. Let’s pretend that today’s events never happened.”

"No, Sect Leader Ning, you must help me!"

Xue Xing knelt down again, grabbing Ning Fengzhi's thigh, tears streaming down her face: "I have no interest in the throne, but I have always disagreed with my elder brother on politics. I'm afraid he won't keep me after he ascends the throne. You must save me, Sect Leader Ning!!"

Ning Fengzhi believed the latter part of what the other party said, but he was not interested in the throne, so he just sneered in his heart.

Those who are not interested in the throne and are not obediently staying in their fiefdoms, instead of lingering in Tiandou City?

He has no interest in the throne, yet he has cultivated so many of his own people in the court and among the people, and he still opposes the crown prince?

If you're not interested in the throne and are only begging to save your own life, why not take your experts back to your fiefdom sooner?

He has no interest in the throne, so he uses a gem-like soul bone that is over 50,000 years old to save his life?

Chapter 85 Desiring to Help Xuexing Seize Power

"Alright, Your Highness Xuexing, stop pretending. If you want us, the Seven Treasures, to help you seize power, just say so. Why beat around the bush like this?"

Gu Rong couldn't stand it anymore and bluntly exposed Xue Xing's thoughts.

Xue Xing was stunned. Seeing everyone's amused expressions, he knew his plan had been exposed. However, since he had chosen to ask Qi Bao for help, he was determined to succeed or die trying.

"Since that's the case, then I won't hold back anymore. If your esteemed sect can help me ascend the throne, I will acknowledge Qibao as the national sect leader of my Heavenly Dou Empire and Sect Master Ning as the national advisor. In the future, Qibao can develop the resources of the Heavenly Dou Empire however he wishes!"

"After this is accomplished, I am willing to share the world with Sect Master Ning!"

Prince Xuexing kept throwing out big promises, saying that as long as he could ascend the throne, what did it matter if he gave up some benefits?

At that time, the interests of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire will be intertwined. Even if the Star Luo wants to declare war again, it will have to consider whether it can stop the two Title Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Anyway, even the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Heavenly Battle is helpless, so it doesn't matter if it gets any stronger, it's all the same.

But now he has to face his older brother.

Although my elder brother has been presiding over the competition, the Imperial Guards in the entire Tiandou City have been properly deployed. They are just waiting for Father to die so that all those who have opposed him in the past will be arrested on charges of treason.
