Chapter 6 Soul Guidance Hall, the reformed Star Luo Empire, Xu Xinghan attempts to communicate with
Xu Xinghan lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
The warm sensation in his chest came rather suddenly, and he didn't even have time to suppress it.
The chill that had accumulated over twenty years in my previous life was somewhat loosened by this one sentence.
He mentally berated himself for being sentimental, then calmly composed himself and raised his head again.
Xu Jiawei had already turned to look at Fire Cloud Douluo, and said calmly:
"Your Majesty Huoyun, I accept your surrender."
He paused, then continued.
"The position of head of the Soul Guidance Hall has been vacant for a long time. From today onwards, you will assume the role."
Upon hearing this, it was as if the air in the hall had been sucked away for a moment.
Xuanji Douluo suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, his gaze gleaming like two knives slashing at Huoyun Douluo.
Nebula Douluo snapped his fan shut.
The two titled Douluo exchanged a glance, their faces filled with disbelief.
Soul Guidance Hall.
Several years have passed, and now, the name of this institution carries great weight in the Star Luo Empire's court.
This was established by the reformists led by Xu Xinghan.
On the surface, it is affiliated with the Hall of Offerings, but in reality, it is an independently operating research and development institution for soul guide devices.
In addition to being Soul Masters, the worshippers in the Hall of Worship were also forced, no, "encouraged" to learn how to make Soul Tools.
The position of hall master has remained vacant.
It wasn't that no one wanted to sit; it was that neither Xu Jiawei nor Xu Xinghan, the brothers, had agreed.
For the past three years, it has been the healer Douluo Wang Xian'er who has been in charge of maintaining the operation as the deputy hall master.
just now.
His Majesty the Emperor casually gave the position of Hall Master to an outsider.
An outsider from the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Your Majesty," Xuanji Douluo spoke, her voice dry and hoarse like sandpaper, "Should this matter be discussed again?"
Xu Jiawei waved his hand, his gaze never leaving Fire Cloud Douluo.
"Trust those you employ, and do not employ those you distrust."
Eight words, slammed hard onto the ground.
Fire Cloud Douluo was stunned.
For the first time, a clear emotional fluctuation appeared on that dark face.
His lips parted slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, as if he had a lot of words stuck in his throat, but in the end he only managed to squeeze out two words.
"His Majesty……"
His voice was hoarseer than before.
He stood up, the cuffs of his dark robe trembling slightly, and bowed deeply to Xu Jiawei.
"Thank you for your trust, I... will certainly do my utmost!"
Xu Jiawei chuckled softly, picked up his teacup, and casually added a comment.
"At this time, I would like to trouble Your Majesty to coordinate with my younger brother. He is more familiar with the affairs of the Soul Guidance Hall."
Fire Cloud Douluo turned to Xu Xinghan and bowed again.
Xu Xinghan stood up, picked up the tea in front of him, as a return gift.
The atmosphere inside the hall subtly eased a bit.
Xuanji Douluo closed his eyes again, but his brows were furrowed.
Nebula Douluo opened her fan, and the nebula on the fan surface swirled twice as fast as usual, clearly indicating that she was also not at peace.
After a long while, she recovered from her shock, secretly tugged at Xu Xinghan's sleeve, and lowered her voice.
"Second brother, isn't eldest brother being a little too hasty?"
Xu Xinghan didn't answer, but picked up his teacup and took a sip.
His gaze went beyond the rim of the cup and landed on the dark-skinned old man.
A level nine Soul Master who surrendered and became the head of the Soul Guidance Hall.
Xu Jiawei's move was much more ruthless than he had anticipated.
The phrase "trust people without doubt" is easy to say, but in reality, it would be enough to drown a person in the spittle of the entire court.
But Xu Jiawei did it anyway.
This shows that his older brother was even less willing to accept the status quo than he had imagined.
This was also within Xu Xinghan's expectations.
The Baihu Dai family has been passed down for tens of thousands of years without interruption. Although it is now in decline, it is still related to the imperial throne and must be guarded against.
Although historically, it was the Dai family that voluntarily abdicated the throne to the Xu family.
But that was because during the great war with the Sun Moon Empire, the Dai family's high-end combat power was almost entirely wiped out, while the Star Crown Sect intervened at the last moment, greatly winning over the hearts of the people, which forced the Dai family to abdicate the throne.
As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Dai Mubai, the White Tiger who inherited the God of War ten thousand years ago and ascended to the God Realm, has always been a thorn in the side of the Xu family.
Therefore, on the surface, neither Xu Jiawei nor any of the previous emperors of the Xu family dared to do anything to the Dai family, and they might even entrust them with important responsibilities.
Xu Jiawei's gaze flickered slightly as he looked at Fire Cloud Douluo, and he added a comment.
"Your Majesty Huoyun, what about this Conferred God Platform...?"
Fire Cloud Douluo was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.
"Oh dear, I really am getting old."
He picked up the Conferred God Platform from the table, put it back into the gray ring, then took it off along with the ring and handed it to Xu Xinghan with both hands.
"Your Highness, please."
Xu Xinghan didn't stand on ceremony, took the ring, and put it on his finger.
A silver storage ring and a gray ring stood side by side, one bright and the other plain.
He silently sensed it in his mind.
The interior of the gray ring was not large, and it was completely empty except for the Conferred God Platform. Clearly, Fire Cloud Douluo had cleared the area specifically for this purpose.
"Thank you, senior."
Fire Cloud Douluo waved his hand, a smile appearing on his dark face.
"It is this old man who should thank Your Majesty and Your Highness."
……
With that in mind, tonight's banquet is coming to an end.
Xu Jiawei yawned, and two shallow lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.
The emperor, who never lost his composure in front of outsiders, rubbed his temples like an ordinary person.
"Senior Xuanji, please arrange accommodations for His Majesty Huoyun. Let's stay at the Vermilion Bird Pavilion near the Soul Guidance Hall; it'll be convenient."
Xuanji Douluo opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
Fire Cloud Douluo bowed again and followed Xuanji Douluo out of the hall.
Although Xu Jiujiu usually acts carefree and irresponsible, he comes from the royal family and is a shrewd and capable person.
She stood up, patted off non-existent dust from her skirt, and waved to Xu Xinghan with a grin.
"Second brother, I'm sleepy, so I'll head back now."
"Also, you owe me one because I didn't manage to buy that bracelet today."
Without waiting for Xu Xinghan's reply, she skipped and hopped out of Mingyue Palace.
The footsteps faded into the distance, and only the two brothers remained in the hall.
……
It was already late at night when Xu Xinghan returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Although he had been up most of the night, Xu Xinghan was still very energetic and couldn't fall asleep at all.
Upon returning to his bedroom in the palace, the first thing he did was close the door and draw the curtains tightly. Then, he took out the Conferred God Platform from his gray storage ring and carefully placed it on the floor.
Xu Xinghan sat cross-legged on the floor, his silver hair falling over his shoulders, his hands resting on his knees, and slowly closed his eyes.
Consciousness sinks.
After passing through layers of mental barriers, I arrived at that gray-white space.
The sea of the spirit is not large, but it is very stable.
A gray, intense light floated on the sea surface.
Xu Xinghan's consciousness stood on the sea surface and spoke to the silver-gray light.
"Old Yi."
The gray light flickered.
An aged voice came from not far away, filled with doubt and curiosity.
"Speak, what do you want now?"
Xu Xinghan smiled.
"I'd like to meet the 100,000-year-old soul beast inside the Conferred God Platform. Could you do me a favor?"
There was a three-second silence.
"You want to see her?"
"Yes!"
