Xi Yao really dares to think.

It would be fine if he just thought about it, but he dared to do it immediately.

He thought that while everyone from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was here, he could express his stance here and acknowledge her as his goddaughter. They would be his relatives from now on. Wouldn’t this Soul Douluo be securely hooked up with him?

As a result, when he opened his mouth, not only Ning Susu and the others disagreed, even the people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect who were sitting there disagreed.

"Ah, no, you guys..."

Xi Yao really wanted to yell at Luo Yu and Xie Wenqing who were opposing him, “What does this have to do with your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?” But when he saw the sudden darkening expressions on Luo Yu and Xie Wenqing’s faces, he immediately wilted.

"Su Su's parents are still alive, so the decision about foster parents... still has to be made by them."

Chen Xin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

When he heard Xi Yao say that just now, he almost wanted to point the Seven Killing Sword at the other party and ask:

“What gives you confidence?”

Hearing Chen Xin's words, Xi Yao was stunned at first, then asked in surprise: "Su Su's parents are still here? Then, why aren't they with us?"

When Xi Yao first heard that Chen Xin had been taking care of Ning Susu since she was a child, he thought that Ning Susu's parents had passed away. But it turns out that her parents are still alive?

"Because my sister is still young, she needs someone to take care of her at home."

Ning Susu helped to complete Chen Xin's words.

"Oh, Susu has a younger sister."

Xi Yao smiled awkwardly. This was really a bit of a misunderstanding.

Luo Yu and Xie Wenqing on the side looked at Xi Yao as if he was looking at something rare.

This man has only met Ning Susu and the others a few times, and he already wants to be someone’s godfather?

Xi Yao felt extremely embarrassed when being stared at by everyone present, but the embarrassment disappeared just as quickly as it came.

Soon, Xi Yao himself said with a chuckle:

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll meet Su Su's parents when I have time. Maybe they'll agree when they see how nice I am.

Even if I'm not a godfather, it won't affect my love for Susu. I've already promised to find a good school for Susu~"

Xi Yao then turned the topic back to the admission qualifications.

Luo Yu secretly glanced at Ning Susu, then met Xi Yao's gaze, and of course agreed to the admission qualifications.

Xi Yao was very happy to hear this. After the transaction between the two parties was successful, Xi Yao saw that he had returned to his own pocket after going around in circles, and he also got an admission qualification. Xi Yao was so happy.

Ning Susu, who was standing by, saw this and didn't know what to say.

"Even if the Earl accepts twice the money and asks for a place in school, they probably won't refuse, right?"

Ning Susu didn't mean to cheat her family out of money, but she was still curious about Xi Yao's behavior.

"But that's not a good attitude to give people."

At this time, there were only three of them left in the VIP room. Xi Yao leaned on the sofa and said,

"Sometimes money isn't everything. At my level, money is no longer the main thing. No matter how you spend it, it's the same. You can't bring it with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die."

Ning Susu didn't expect Xi Yao to say such words.

"Besides, in Douluo Continent, it is said that strength is respected. As long as the strength is strong, His Majesty will win them over at all costs."

Xi Yao turned his head to look at Ning Susu and couldn't help asking, "Has Susu been to watch the Elite Soul Master Competition?"

"No." Ning Susu shook her head. She really didn't have that.

"Do you know what the reward for this Soul Master Competition is?"

It's the prince.

Ning Susu knew this.

Generous.

The original book only mentioned the session held by the Spirit Hall, where a huge amount of money was spent to give out soul bones as rewards.

The previous rewards offered by the two empires were also very attractive.

Wangjue.

Reach the sky in one step.

Ning Susu didn't say anything, Xi Yao continued to speak to himself:

"This year's organizer is Xingluo Country, and the title of King was also given by Xingluo Country. Otherwise, it would be placed in Tiandou..."

Xi Yao didn't finish his words, but Ning Susu understood what he meant.

Since Xingluo was given to the King, it is impossible for Tiandou to be stingy.

But where can we get so many royal titles in this world?

The answer is obvious.

"I am just a duke..."

Xi Yao couldn't help feeling a little sad as he spoke.

You can say that he is worrying too much or that he is short-sighted.

In his opinion, whether it is Tiandou or Xingluo, in order to win over soul masters with bright futures, they are willing to give up even the title of king.

If something really happens in the future, can't they, the dukes and marquises, just abandon them?

They are like cannon fodder.

He has to plan for himself. Whether it's clinging to someone powerful or finding a backer, he has to give himself or his descendants a way out, right?

Not to mention the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, if you can avoid offending them, you should do so, and it is also right to give people a good impression at the same time.

"I also want my descendants to be able to succeed and stand on their own, but... oh!"

Xi Yao sighed just thinking about this. This was his talent, otherwise why would he ask for admission without taking a test?

He said so much, and didn't care what Ning Susu was thinking. He looked at Chen Xin eagerly and said:

"Mr. Chen, I really don't have bad intentions. If you are willing to join our Xi family and become the Xi family's tribute, I can agree to any conditions you set as long as I can meet them!"

Xi Yao had said so much, and it seemed inevitable that Ning Susu and Chen Xin would say something.

but--

"But because of our martial spirit, we have to travel around and can't stay at your Xi's house every day. You asked my grandfather to serve as a priest at the Xi's house, but it may not be possible to keep him guarding all the time."

"Besides, you have already obtained admission, so why not put more effort into your offspring?"

How could Xi Yao, an adult like him, not understand what Ning Susu said?

But Xi Yao's words made Ning Susu nervous, and she said, "But there is no time! Even if my child can grow up in the future, it will take time. I don't have so much time..."

"what on earth is it?"

Ning Susu saw the panic in Xi Yao's words and became more and more aware that something was wrong.

Now, Xi Yao has come to the end of what he wanted to say.

He met the concerned gazes of Shang Chenxin and Ning Susu, so he confessed directly: "Mr. Chen, do you know why I always feel that someone wants to harm me and want you to protect me?"

"Could it be that you already knew someone was trying to harm you?"

Chen Xin asked and Xi Yao nodded.

"Your enemy?"

"No, I don't know who it is either. I just have some guesses."

Xi Yao shook his head, a very forced smile appearing on his face.

He continued, "I never thought about this before, but in recent years -

I just realized that some of the nobles I know don’t seem to live very long.”

“Most of them died when they were only in their fifties or sixties. Most of them were not very talented like me, and there were no soul masters above the Soul Saint level guarding them in their families.

Once the person left, the family somehow quickly declined.

Until last year, a soul master sect in the Barak Kingdom was wiped out overnight, and I discovered a problem."

When Xi Yao talked about exterminating the whole family, Ning Susu felt a sudden fear in her heart.

She subconsciously recalled that last year, because of the assassination attempt by the Spirit Hall, their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect secretly massacred some sects that colluded with the Spirit Hall.

Could it be that Xi Yao was talking about one of these?

Ning Susu tactically drinks water.

"That sect is in my territory. I originally thought it was some kind of robbery, so I specifically counted their property when I arranged to collect the bodies. But when I counted them—

There are actually quite a few treasures in that sect that I have seen more or less elsewhere.

And their former owners have all passed away..."
