Douluo's Long Night

Chapter 137 The Assassination Plan of Prince Xingluo
Xu Junfang was carrying a sliding rod box and stood at the gate of the Spirit Hall Elite Academy.

"Lena, are you really not going back with me?"

Xu Junfang let go of the hand holding the handle of the suitcase, folded his arms in front of his chest, and leaned against a pillar at the door.

"No."

Hu Liena looked at Xu Junfang with clear eyes and shook her head.

"I have to go to the teacher's place this holiday."

Who is this teacher, only Xu Junfang knows.

Xie Yue and Yan were still standing behind Hu Liena.

"Then... okay, I'm going back, see you at the beginning of school."

Xu Junfang lowered his arms from his chest.

"Bye-Bye!"

Hu Liena, Yan and Xie Yue all bid farewell to Xu Junfang.

Xie Yue and Yan are about to be promoted to the fourth grade, and both of them are orphans adopted by the Wuhun Palace. The best choice for the holiday is to live in the academy.

Because we will see each other again at the beginning of school, Xu Junfang turned around and left without nostalgia.

There is a luxurious carriage waiting not far from the school gate.

"Master, you are here." A familiar face appeared in front of Xu Junfang, Lu Liang.

"Long time no see, Uncle Lu!"

Because Xu Junfang is in frequent contact with Lu Liang, the two are already very close.

"Haha, that's fine, young master, get in the car! Master Xu is looking forward to your return!"

Lu Liang opened the door of the carriage and welcomed Xu Junfang in.

The two sat down in the carriage, and Lu Liang yelled at the driver: "Let's go!"

The carriage was dusty all the way.

...................................................

seven days later.

Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

Wuhun Temple.

bump!
The door of the platinum main classroom in the Wuhun Temple was pushed open with a bang.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

As soon as Xu Junfang entered the door, he saw Xu Huangchen sitting in the master's room, aloof.

"Hey! Look who's back! It's my precious grandson!"

Seeing that it was Xu Junfang, Xu Huangchen grinned involuntarily, and instantly came to Xu Junfang from the platinum bishop's chair.

Xu Huangchen patted Xu Junfang's shoulders with both arms, and his gentle soul power walked around Xu Junfang's meridians. He felt Xu Junfang's deep soul power and healthy body, and let go of his breath.

"Fang'er, there are so many things that happened this year!" Xu Huangchen sighed.

"First of all, the Qiao family assassinated you. I have already punished Qiao Mu's family, and all Qiao Mu's immediate family members have been killed by grandpa. Anyone who dares to touch you will not be spared!"

What Xu Huangchen said was straightforward, but Xu Junfang was very useful. This kind of family affection was something he didn't have in his previous life.

"Thank you, grandpa, for your concern, for letting grandpa worry."

"Hey, how can you worry about Fang'er." Xu Huangchen said, "It's Grandpa's fault for failing to protect you. I hope you didn't blame Grandpa."

"How can you blame grandpa? No one could have predicted what happened to Qiao Mu. Fortunately, he has become the fertilizer for my growth."

"Ugh"

Seeing that his grandson didn't mean to blame, Xu Huangchen was relieved and also blamed himself, but he didn't want to talk about this unpleasant topic anymore.

"I heard that your martial soul has mutated? Show grandpa, what does the mutated look like?"

Xu Huangchen had long received the news that Xu Junfang's martial soul had mutated, but after learning that it was a benign mutation, he did not visit the Pope's City in person.

"Okay, Martial Soul Possession!"

After a burst of lightning and thunder, Lei Di stood proudly behind Xu Junfang.

"Oh? It's consistent with what was written in the report, the martial soul mimics. I never thought that your martial soul would turn into such an appearance."

You know, the martial souls of Xu Huangchen and Xu Wanggong are both the crown of weapon martial soul Thunder Star.

Therefore, the Tianzun mask weapon Wuhun displayed by Xu Junfang before is still reasonable.

But this mutation, directly changing from a weapon spirit to a mimic beast spirit, is really a major subversion of the theory of soul masters.

If it weren't for Xu Junfang's special status, he might have been studied as an experimental body by the researchers of Wuhundian at this time.

Xu Huangchen could feel the majestic power emanating from Lei Di, and he, who is also a thunder-attribute soul master, had the urge to pay homage to him.

Xu Huangchen stroked his beard: "Well, generally speaking, it's a benign change."

"After the change of Wuhun, the academy has arranged for you to train in a new fighting style? How is it? Are you still used to it?"

Xu Junfang nodded: "It's okay, it's a bit weird at first, but after practicing a lot, you'll get familiar with it."

"Very good, just follow the academy." Xu Huangchen sat back on the Platinum Bishop's seat.

"Fang'er, we haven't seen each other for nearly a year. Tell grandpa about any interesting things that happened in your life this year? Grandpa wants to hear."

"If you are willing to listen, then I will tell you."

Xu Junfang began to talk about his life this year.

Xu Junfang's lecture lasted for an hour.

He gave Xu Huangchen a detailed account of his experience in the first test, the experience of being assassinated, the experience of winning the championship in the freshman assessment, the experience of obtaining the third soul ring, etc.

Xu Huangchen listened very seriously to his grandson's experience, and occasionally raised some questions and opinions
"Hahaha! Freshman champion! Golden chamber! 11-year-old soul master! Hahaha!"

These three news made Xu Huangchen laugh from ear to ear.

"Fang'er, your talent can be said to be rare in the world!" Xu Huangchen stroked his beard with emotion: "My grandson, Junfang, has the qualifications for a title!"

"Grandpa, there is one more thing I need to tell you, the Pope accepted me as an apprentice..."

Xu Junfang told Xu Huangchen the truth and waited for Xu Huangchen's judgment.

"The Pope has accepted you as an apprentice." Xu Huangchen's laughter faded away, quite dignified.

"Fang'er, remember, don't mention this matter to anyone again, it will attract prying eyes."

"Being targeted by someone with a heart will cause unnecessary trouble."

Xu Huangchen's heart is not as calm as it appears on the surface, he is very contradictory, with mixed joys and sorrows,
The joy is that the grandson was accepted as a disciple by the Pope.

The position of pope in Wuhundian has always been inherited by the pope's disciples, Xu Junfang was accepted as a disciple by the pope, and has half his foot on the position of the future pope.

Even if Xu Junfang loses the election and Hu Liena becomes the next Pope, with the relationship between Xu Junfang and Hu Liena, the future is bright.

Of course Xu Huangchen deserves to be overjoyed about such a thing, but a cloud of gloom also appeared in his heart.

He is a Title Douluo, although he is only level 92, he is indeed a genuine Title Douluo.

As a supporter of the Pope's lineage, he knows that the most powerful part of the Wuhun Hall is not the Pope's Hall, but the Enshrinement Hall,

That is the essence of Wuhundian.

The elders of the hall of worship are the highest-level figures who have the decision-making power over the hall of spirits. If the pope is not capable enough, he will become a puppet pushed by the hall of elders.

What's more, becoming the Pope's successor also requires the approval of the Elder Hall.

Moreover, the pope did not issue a formal notice to him about accepting apprentices.

Xu Huangchen also just learned about this from Xu Junfang, is the Pope still investigating?
Not thinking about the haze in his heart for the time being, Xu Huangchen said seriously to Xu Junfang:
"Fang'er, what I want to tell you is that basically all previous popes choose the next pope from among their own disciples. Fang'er, work hard and shine on the lintel!"

"Grandpa, I know, I should fight for it myself."

After Xu Junfang was selected as Bibi Dong's disciple, he had this guess, and now it was confirmed by Xu Huangchen.

But in fact, he was somewhat unwilling.

He didn't want to compete with Hu Liena for the position of Pope, and he didn't want to have a relationship with Hu Liena because of this position.

"Fang'er, the most important thing in our palace is meritorious deeds. The tasks and things you do for the Wuhun Palace will be recorded in the form of meritorious deeds. When the deeds reach a certain level, meritorious medals will be awarded."

After Xu Huangchen knew that Xu Junfang might succeed the pope, he began to preach to Xu Junfang.

"The meritorious medals are divided into the White Record Medal, the Yellow Record Medal, the Purple Record Medal, the Black Record Medal, and the top-level Red Record Medal."

"The large and small positions in the Wuhun Hall are basically arranged according to meritorious service, and medals are the most glorious manifestation of meritorious service. Like grandpa, he is eligible to become a platinum bishop only after he has received the Red Record Medal."

"So, Fang'er, if you want to get ahead as soon as possible, you still have to make meritorious deeds!"

Xu Junfang listened silently, keeping everything his grandfather said in his heart, this is the old man's experience in the Wuhun Temple, and it will be of great benefit to him after listening carefully.

As he spoke, Xu Huangchen's face suddenly became serious: "Fang'er, I need to ask your opinion on something..."

Xu Junfang hadn't seen Xu Huangchen ask his opinion on anything before, and he still had such a solemn expression, and immediately said, "You tell me."

Xu Huangchen said slowly: "You just came back from the Elite Academy today, and there will be a grand dinner for the nobles in the Star Luo Empire in two days. It will be held by the current Emperor of Star Luo. It is obviously a marriage contract between two juniors, but in fact it is to determine the next Star Luo Empire. Two pairs of candidates for those in power."

"As a descendant of Xing Luo's Luo family, you are naturally qualified to participate. A few days ago, someone from the Luo family also sent an invitation card, asking if you could go."

Xu Huangchen paused.

Xu Junfang was about to speak after hearing this, but was interrupted by Xu Huangchen.

"Don't rush to answer, it's not over yet."

"The relationship between us and the Star Luo Empire is getting more and more tense, and I'm not afraid to tell you that the Wuhun Palace has plans to expand in the future." Xu Huangchen looked at Xu Junfang.

Xu Junfang was a little shocked. He never thought that his grandfather, who never liked to talk about politics, would talk to him about this. I'm afraid...

"Wuhundian has decided to get rid of a prince from the Star Luo Empire."

Xu Huangchen spoke thunderous words in a calm tone.

"This!?" Xu Junfang was shocked.

This is a plot that was not in the original book.

Unexpectedly, Wuhundian even thought of attacking Prince Xingluo, the Xingluo Royal Family is not the same as the Heaven Dou Royal Family.

"Surprised?" Xu Huangchen smiled, "But in order to weaken the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall must take risks, otherwise the Star Luo Empire will become stronger and stronger, which will definitely affect the development of the Spirit Hall in the end."

"After discussion this time, His Majesty the Pope is going to take advantage of the chaos at the dinner party to get rid of the second prince Xingluo, David Qing!"

The shadow on Xu Huangchen's face made him a little dark.

"Why not the eldest prince Davis or the third prince?" Xu Junfang asked, in his opinion, getting rid of Davis would be the greatest help to Spirit Hall.

Xu Huangchen shook his head after hearing this: "The risk is too great. Davis's talent is far superior to that of David Qing. He was established as the first heir by the current emperor early on, and most of the ministers in the palace support this eldest prince. He The defense force around them is really not weak."

"It doesn't matter whether we can kill him or not. Even if he succeeds, the Hall of Spirits will be exposed. A war is inevitable. This is something we don't want to see."

"And the most important point is that David Qing vaguely discovered some arrangements of the Spirit Hall in the Star Luo Empire. Although this has not been confirmed yet, it will be troublesome when he investigates further."

"The second prince, David Qing, has been attacked by Davis in recent years. Although he has the name of a prince in the Star Luo Empire, there are not many people who really listen to him. He secretly reported on the dark son of the Wuhun Palace and had insight into the layout of the Wuhun Palace. It will strengthen his voice in the empire, and there's no reason why he shouldn't."

"David Qing doesn't have any decent defensive force around him, so getting rid of him is relatively easier and more concealed."

"The third prince, Dai Mubai, is not inferior to Davis in talent. According to my estimation, this dinner is to establish Dai Mubai as Davis' competitor, to put pressure on Davis."

"The purpose of killing David Qing at the dinner party was to put the blame on Davis. Davis assassinated his younger brother quite a few times, but none of them succeeded, and David Qing escaped them all."

"This time, what we have to do is to help Davis make a fake show."

What Xu Junfang heard was heart palpitations.

Grandpa has confessed all these important things to him. Could it be that he wants to find an opportunity to kill David Qing at this dinner party?

"What I want to ask you is, would you like to come to this dinner party?"

Xu Huangchen looked directly into Xu Junfang's eyes.

"........."
