Chapter 503: Tiandou Empire's Plan

Hearing this, Lu Yu turned around and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes standing not far away, looking at him with surprise.

This person was Ning Fengzhi, who had met Lu Yu once before at Tiandou Royal Academy.

Lu Yu looked at Ning Fengzhi and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Sect Master Ning. What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward quickly, bowed and said, "Master Lu Yu, you are too polite. It is my honor to meet you again."

Lu Yu waved his hand gently, "Master Ning, there is no need to be so polite. Let's find a place to sit down."

Ning Fengzhi nodded happily and took Lu Yu to a teahouse.

After the two sat down, the waiter quickly brought them tea.

Ning Fengzhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Lord Lu Yu, I wonder why you came to Tiandou City this time?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Nothing much, just strolling around. But Sect Master Ning, why are you here?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly when he heard this, "I was just wandering around with nothing to do, and I didn't expect to meet Lord Lu Yu."

Lu Yu looked at Ning Fengzhi's expression and couldn't help but guess secretly in his heart. He naturally understood that Ning Fengzhi couldn't really be strolling around, he must have something to do.

But he did not point it out, instead he changed the subject, "Sect Master Ning, I wonder how your sect is doing recently?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression became serious when he heard this. "To be honest with you, Master Lu Yu, the situation in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is not very good recently."

Lu Yu frowned when he heard this, "Oh? Why is that?"

Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "Ever since that woman Qian Renxue took control of the Tiandou Empire, she has begun to suppress the major sects. Our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has also suffered a considerable impact."

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded secretly in his heart. He had already guessed that after Qian Renxue came to power, she would definitely take action against the major sects. After all, these sects were the backbone of the Tiandou Empire. If she could not control them, it would always be a hidden danger to her.

He looked at Ning Fengzhi and said slowly, "Sect Master Ning, does your sect have any countermeasures?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly, "What else can we do? Qian Renxue is a powerful woman with vicious means. We are no match for her at all."

When Lu Yu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Master Ning, perhaps, I can help you."

Ning Fengzhi was shocked when he heard this. He widened his eyes and looked at Lu Yu in disbelief. "Lord Lu Yu, are you...are you telling the truth?"

Lu Yu smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true. There will be a battle between Qian Renxue and I sooner or later. If I can take this opportunity to weaken her power, why not do it?"

Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Lord Lu Yu, if this is true, then our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect owes you a favor."

Lu Yu waved his hand gently, "Master Ning, you are too polite. We are all from the same Heaven Dou Empire, so it is only natural for us to help each other."

After he left the teahouse, he went directly to Shrek Academy.

At this time, everyone in Shrek Academy was practicing.

Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and landed in front of everyone.

Everyone looked up and saw a young man in a green shirt standing there, looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Lu Yu!"

When everyone saw this, they cried out in surprise.

Lu Yu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Don't be so surprised, I just came to see you."

Hearing this, Tang San and the others hurried forward to salute, "Greetings, Master Lu Yu."

Lu Yu gently waved his hand, "No need to be polite. Everyone continue to practice, I'm just taking a look."

After hearing this, everyone continued to practice.

Lu Yu walked around the college for a while and then came to Dean Flanders' office.

He knocked on the door gently, and after getting a response, he pushed it open and walked in.

I saw Dean Flanders sitting at his desk, handling some matters.

Seeing Lu Yu coming in, he showed a look of surprise on his face, "Lu Yu, why are you here?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Nothing, just came to see you. How is the school going recently?"

Dean Flanders sighed and said, "Since Qian Renxue took power, the situation at the academy has not been good. Many students have chosen to leave for fear of being implicated."

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded secretly in his heart. He had already guessed that after Qian Renxue came to power, she would definitely take action against Shrek Academy. After all, Shrek Academy has trained many talented soul masters. If she cannot control them, it will be a big threat to her.

He looked at Dean Flanders and said slowly, "Dean Flanders, you don't have to worry. There will be a battle between Qian Renxue and I sooner or later. If we can take this opportunity to weaken her power, it will be a good thing."

Dean Flanders' eyes flashed when he heard this, "Lu Yu, what do you mean?"

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "I can help you fight against Qian Renxue."

Dean Flanders was overjoyed when he heard this. “Lu Yu, if that’s true, then Shrek Academy owes you a favor.”

Lu Yu waved his hand gently, "Dean Flanders is too polite. We are all from the same Tiandou Empire, so it is only natural for us to help each other."

After he left Shrek Academy, he went straight back to the Prince's Mansion.

At this time, in the Prince's Mansion, Xue Beng was sitting in the study with a serious expression.

He recalled what Lu Yu had said to him before, and his heart was filled with waves.

"Xiaoyu, how is your injury recovering?"

As Xue Qinghe stepped into the room, the first thing he did was look at Lu Yu with concern.

Ever since Lu Yu was attacked by a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall and was seriously injured, Xue Qinghe has visited Lu Yu almost every day.

This concern is not pretended, but real.

"Your Highness, my injuries have almost recovered." Lu Yu said gratefully.

If Xue Qinghe had not appeared in time and saved him, he would probably have died at the hands of the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall.

Lu Yu will never forget this kindness.

"That's good, that's good." Xue Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in confusion, "Xiao Yu, how did you suddenly get attacked by a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall?"

"I don't know either." Lu Yu shook his head and immediately analyzed, "But I guess it's probably because I have a grudge against the Spirit Hall, so they sent someone to assassinate me."

"Have you had any grudges against the Spirit Hall?" Xue Qinghe frowned. "As far as I know, you don't seem to have any grudges against the Spirit Hall, right?"

"It's a long story." Lu Yu sighed, "I once studied at Tiandou Royal Academy for a period of time. At that time, I had some conflicts with the golden generation of Wuhun Hall."

"So that's how it is." Xue Qinghe suddenly realized, "No wonder the Spirit Hall sent someone to assassinate you."

"By the way, Your Highness, the Spirit Hall is very powerful, especially the number of Titled Douluo under their command, which is countless." Lu Yu said solemnly, "You must be careful of the Spirit Hall."

"Yes, I will." Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, as long as I, Xue Qinghe, am still alive, I will never let the Spirit Hall hurt you."

Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Lu Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart.

There are not many people in this world who can truly care about him, and Xue Qinghe is undoubtedly one of them.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Yu said gratefully.

"Okay, we don't have to be so polite." Xue Qinghe waved his hand, "Xiao Yu, since you are fine now, come with me to the palace. Father is also very worried about your injury."

"Okay." Lu Yu agreed.

A moment later, Lu Yu followed Xue Qinghe into the palace.

……

Emperor Xue Ye was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. When he saw Xue Qinghe and Lu Yu coming together, he was immediately surprised.

"Qinghe, Xiaoyu, why are you here?" Emperor Xue Ye asked in confusion.

"Father, I heard that Xiaoyu's injury has healed, so I brought him to see you." Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

"Oh? Has Xiaoyu's injury healed?" Emperor Xue Ye looked at Lu Yu, his eyes full of concern, "Let me take a look."

Lu Yu stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. I am sorry for causing your Majesty to worry. My injury has healed."

Emperor Xue Ye carefully examined Lu Yu's body and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Lu Yu's injuries were truly healed.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Emperor Xue Ye said "it's okay" twice, which shows his concern for Lu Yu.

"Father, Xiaoyu was able to escape death this time thanks to the token you gave him." Xue Qinghe spoke at the right time.

"Oh?" Emperor Xue Ye looked at the token in Lu Yu's hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "My token can actually save your life?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Yu nodded. "At that time, I was being hunted by a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall. At the critical moment, I took out the token Your Majesty gave me. After the Titled Douluo saw the token, he left immediately."

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Xue Ye was shocked. "My token is so powerful?"

"This is normal." Xue Qinghe explained, "After all, father, you are the emperor of the Tiandou Empire. Your token naturally represents the imperial power of the Tiandou Empire. Although those Titled Douluo are powerful, they dare not openly defy the imperial power."

"I see." Emperor Xue Ye nodded, and then looked at Lu Yu, "Xiao Yu, you have made great contributions this time, I must reward you well."

"I dare not." Lu Yu bowed quickly and said, "It is my honor to serve your majesty."

"You don't have to be modest." Emperor Xue Ye waved his hand, "I said I would reward you, so I will reward you."

After saying this, Emperor Xue Ye ordered the eunuchs around him to prepare rewards.

After a while, the eunuch came in holding a tray with a token and a secret book on it.

"Xiao Yu, this is my gift to you." Emperor Xue Ye pointed to the token and secret book on the tray, "This token allows you to enter and exit the palace at any time, and this secret book is a treasure of my Tiandou Royal Academy. Take it and practice well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Yu bowed to express his gratitude, then reached out to take the token and secret book.

"Okay, you guys can leave first. I have to continue reviewing memorials." Emperor Xue Ye said.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Lu Yu and Xue Qinghe left the imperial study together.

……

After coming out of the imperial study, Xue Qinghe invited Lu Yu to visit his East Palace.

Lu Yu did not refuse and followed Xue Qinghe to the East Palace.

"Xiao Yu, please sit down." Xue Qinghe pointed to a chair beside him.

Lu Yu nodded and sat down.

"Xiao Yu, you are lucky to be alive this time." Xue Qinghe said with emotion, "You know what? When I heard the news that you were attacked by the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, I was worried to death."

"I'm really sorry for making Your Highness the Crown Prince worry." Lu Yu said apologetically.

"You don't have to be so polite to me." Xue Qinghe shook his head. "Xiao Yu, you are already a Soul Emperor now. Your strength has improved so quickly. It's really amazing."

"This is all thanks to the cultivation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Yu said gratefully.

"Don't be so modest." Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, "I have seen your talent with my own eyes. It's your ability that you can become a Soul Emperor so quickly."

"By the way, Your Highness the Crown Prince, what do you think of the Spirit Hall?" Lu Yu suddenly asked.

When Xue Qinghe heard Lu Yu mention the Spirit Hall, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.

"The Spirit Hall is a major threat to our Tiandou Empire." Xue Qinghe said in a deep voice, "They are extremely ambitious and have always wanted to annex our Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire and unify the entire Douluo Continent."

"Indeed." Lu Yu nodded. "The Spirit Hall is very powerful. If they really want to unify Douluo Continent, I'm afraid few forces can resist them."

"So, we must find a way to curb the expansion of Spirit Hall's power." Xue Qinghe said with a firm gaze.

"Your Highness is right." Lu Yu agreed, "However, it is not easy to curb the expansion of the Spirit Hall's power."

"It's not easy." Xue Qinghe sighed, "But no matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

Having said that, Xue Qinghe suddenly looked at Lu Yu, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Xiao Yu, are you willing to help me?" Xue Qinghe asked.

He understood that Xue Qinghe was testing him.

If he agreed to Xue Qinghe, it would mean that he would stand on the side of the Tiandou Empire and become the enemy of the Spirit Hall.

This is not a trivial matter, Lu Yu must consider it carefully.

However, Lu Yu had already made a decision in his mind.

Since he has decided to help Tang San, it means he is standing against the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he directly agreed to Xue Qinghe's request.

"Your Highness, I am willing to help you." Lu Yu said solemnly.

"Good! That's great!" Xue Qinghe was delighted when he heard this. "Xiao Yu, I feel relieved when you say this."

After saying that, Xue Qinghe reached out and patted Lu Yu on the shoulder, as if to express his trust in Lu Yu.

"Your Highness, how do you plan to curb the expansion of the Spirit Hall's power?" Lu Yu asked.

Since he has decided to stand on the side of the Tiandou Empire, he must understand the Tiandou Empire's plan in order to cooperate better.
