Douluo Continent: Copying Ya Li, the Carefree King of the Sun and Moon

Hyotei stood behind them, grinning, a hint of mockery flashing across their faces.

Xu Yanli acted as if he hadn't heard anything at all and quickly walked into the courtyard.

Soon, Huo Yuhao and Tang Ling's voices slowly reached Xu Yanli's ears.

"My children, I'm back." Xu Yanli quietly walked up behind the two of them, patted their shoulders, and whispered in their ears.

Huo Yuhao had actually noticed it long ago, but seeing that his teacher seemed very interested, he didn't say anything.

But Tang Ling was genuinely startled.

"Teacher, what do we do next?" Huo Yuhao asked Xu Yanli.

"Next, we'll head to Star Luo City. Also, I'd like to give that Duchess of White Tiger a proper visit," Xu Yanli said with a cold snort.

At the same time, you should also ask the other party what grudges you have against them.

With Long Xiaoyao by his side, even if he does something reckless, it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, I may have to return to the Sun Moon Empire in a while. Although it seems that I have a good relationship with Xu Tianran, I should still be wary.

Who knows if the other person's mood has worsened again after a year?

To be honest, my older brother...

He doesn't seem like a wise ruler.

However, his older brother has never wronged him so far, and has always been helping him.

Forget it, as long as this person doesn't harm him for now, he has absolutely no interest in the throne.

Xu Yanli sighed softly. Every family has its own troubles, especially the royal family.

Xu Tianran is a madman, and judging from the information coming from Xiaoyao Pavilion, he seems to be even mader.

Most of his brothers were probably dead, and in the end, it was very likely that only he and Xu Tianran, the two princes, would be left.

One is a prince with blood from an enemy country, and the other is a cripple...

That's really a great choice.

Xu Yanli shook his head helplessly: "Yuhao, you shouldn't go to the Body Sect for a while. There will soon be a turmoil in Douluo Continent. I will take you to the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire so you can learn about soul tools."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded seriously.

“Actually, the teacher Xuan who taught you before was also quite skilled. It’s just that he was more interested in civilian soul tools and not so much in developing war soul tools,” Xu Yanli said with a smile.

"I know, teacher." Huo Yuhao nodded. "Teacher Xuan is very powerful."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Could you two lead the way? I want to take a bath and change." Xu Yanli said with a smile, one hand dangling over the shoulders of the two men.

He didn't have that air of nobility; instead, he seemed like an ordinary teenager, playing around with his two or three friends.

"Sigh, this kid is finally starting to look like a teenager," Kong Deming remarked from the side.

"It's all because of those perverts in your royal family that we had to do this," Long Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.

"Heh, that's still better than being a naive and innocent girl." Kong Deming shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

"Your cultivation has broken through." Long Xiaoyao glanced at Kong Deming, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Kong Deming nodded, looked at the sun in the sky, and said with a smile, "I never thought that I, an old man, would still have a chance to break through to level 96."

"With your second martial soul, you might have a chance to reach level 99," Long Xiaoyao suggested earnestly.

Kong Deming shook his head: "Forget it, I still have to protect His Highness's safety, how can I have time to cultivate?"

Xu Yanli was taken to the bathing pool by Tang Ling and Huo Yuhao.

There is a huge hot spring inside, and the water is naturally flowing.

Xu Yanli took off his outer robe, then suddenly looked at the two people beside him, his eyes darting around a couple of times.

Then, the arm that had been on the shoulders of the two people was placed on it again, and then he walked to the edge of the pool and suddenly exerted force.

All three people fell into the water at the same time.

Xu Yanli quickly reached the shore and looked at the two people next to him who were struggling to get up.

The hot spring pool is not deep; it can only slowly submerge half of your body.

Or rather, this level of depth is hardly a problem for Soul Masters.

At this moment, Xu Yanli leaned against the shore, his arms casually resting, and slowly closed his eyes.

However, he was woken up by a bucket of water that Tang Lin splashed on him before he could even doze off for two minutes.

"Hey, hey, don't pounce, I was wrong," Xu Yanli said with a smile, covering her face at first.

However, seeing that the other person was still splashing water on him, he hesitated for a moment and then joined in, splashing water on each other.

However, Huo Yuhao was all alone watching the two of them play around.

The two looked at each other and then nodded instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them quickly scooped up water and rushed towards Huo Yuhao.

Xu Yanli said with a smile, "Yuhao, let's all have fun together. Don't think too much. It's a rare opportunity to relax."

At this moment, Xu Yanli didn't seem like the scheming Prince Xiaoyao, but just an ordinary boy playing in the water with his classmates.

However, this relaxing time passed quickly.

Xu Yanli put on his expensive-looking outer robe once again, and his expression instantly became serious, as if he had become a different person the moment he put on that outfit.

After resting for a day, Xu Yanli and his group headed towards Xingluo City.

It must be said that the overall situation in Xingluo City is not bad; at least in terms of soul tools, there is not much shortage.

Of course, it still has a considerable gap compared to the feeling of a modern metropolis like Mingdu.

"Is this the place?" Xu Yanli looked at the map in his hand, then at the small courtyard in front of him with some confusion.

Xu Yanli did not let the others follow, but instead had them all go to Xiaoyao Pavilion in Xingluo City to stay first.

However, Long Xiaoyao hid himself and followed behind Xu Yanli.

Xu Yanli took a deep breath, looked at the building that resembled Xiaoyao Pavilion, and gasped twice.

Xu Yanli raised his hand and gently knocked on the vermilion gate.

"Who is it?" A clear female voice came from behind the door. It sounded somewhat familiar and was obviously more mature than Xiao Xiao's voice.

Chapter 70 Her Highness the Eldest Princess, named Wang Shu

Xingluo City, deep in a small alley in the west of the city.

The vermilion gate in front of me now bears the marks of history, and the rust on the door knocker looks as if it hasn't been cleaned in a long time.

Xu Yanli stood in front of the door and tapped the door three times again with her fingers.

The door creaked open after he knocked, and a woman in her early twenties with delicate features opened the door.

She looks about 70-80% similar to Xiao Xiao, but she is much more mature than Xiao Xiao.

Xu Yanli thought that if he wasn't mistaken, this person might be Xiao Xiao's older sister or mother.

The moment the woman's gaze slowly fell on Xu Yanli's face, she was as if struck by lightning, and stood frozen in place.

The thing in the woman's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the entire bowl shattered completely.

"You...you..." The woman's voice trembled violently. She opened and closed her mouth several times, but could not utter a complete sentence. She looked extremely shocked.

Xu Yanli bowed slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Hello, young lady. My name is Xu Yanli. I am Xiao Xiao's classmate. I am here today to pay my respects to Uncle Xiao."

The woman didn't respond, but her eyes immediately reddened, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

"So similar...too similar..."

She murmured to herself, raising her hand to touch Xu Yanli's face, but just as her fingertips were about to touch him, she suddenly pulled back, as if afraid that if she touched him, the person in front of her would shatter.

Seeing his expression, Xu Yanli instantly understood that the person who delivered the documents must have made a mistake; his mother and they must be old acquaintances.

And judging from how excited the other person is, they must have a good relationship.

"Xiaoyue, who is it?"

An old but steady voice came from the courtyard.

The girl snapped back to reality, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and stepped aside, saying, "Please...please come in."

Xu Yanli stepped over the threshold and glanced around the small courtyard.

It wasn't big, but it was kept very clean.

Several plum trees were planted in the courtyard, and the plum blossoms on them were blooming proudly in the cold wind.

In the middle of the courtyard stands an old locust tree, its trunk so thick that it takes two people to encircle it; it must be at least a hundred years old.

There was a stone table and benches under the tree, and a plate of freshly washed fruit on the table.

Xu Yanli looked around in disbelief at the building and its atmosphere...

My own mother...

An elderly man with gray hair came out of the house.

The old man was dressed in a simple gray cloth robe. He walked very steadily and stood up straight. Although he was dressed in ordinary cloth, he carried an aura of authority that was hard to conceal.

Those eyes looked somewhat cloudy, but the moment they fell on Xu Yanli, they suddenly became as sharp as knives.

Immediately afterwards, sharpness turned into horror.

Then came the overwhelming excitement.

The old man's hands began to tremble, and his lips quivered; at that moment, it seemed he couldn't utter a single word.

He staggered forward two steps, his knees buckled, and he was about to kneel down.

Xu Yanli reacted quickly and stepped forward to support him.

"Old man, you mustn't."

His voice was gentle, but he used force in his hands to prevent the old man from kneeling down.

The old man raised his head, and murky tears streamed down his wrinkled face.
