"Compared to Shrek, we are more willing to trust Master Kong and the noble people in your country who lent a helping hand in times of crisis."

As he spoke, Xu Jiujiu looked at Xu Tianxi meaningfully, his eyes moving and bright and charming.

Xu Tianxi laughed and didn't answer, with all kinds of thoughts in his mind.

What does Xing Luo mean by this? Does he think Shrek is useless and just give up on him, or is it just a polite remark?

Shrek has a strong foundation, and there should be more than ten Titled Douluo now, and there are also many masters who graduated from Shrek...

However, in the original novel, there was no situation where Shrek raised his arm and attracted a large number of graduated masters. Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion liked to let a group of younger generations fight to the death, and they rarely got involved themselves.

"It's a pity that the competition cannot be completed, so today, each of our three colleges can come out to compete. After the competition, the champion, runner-up and third place will be announced. What do you think?"

He led the Sun and Moon Team to their seats and told them about the surprise of this trip after a long time.

Xu Tianxi glanced at Xiao Hongchen who was almost laughing out loud, and said with a smile: "I tend to be rough with my attacks, so I don't have to leave, right?"

"Mr. Kong is too modest. Compared to some people who kill people at will, you are much more sensible."

Xu Jiujiu spoke as usual, and took the opportunity to make fun of the bad character who was killed by Xu Tianxi.

Now think about it, if Shrek had not made a fatal move against Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy, Cai Meir would not have been caught, and so many things would not have happened later.

Ma Xiaotao also deserves credit for Shrek's current situation.

After thinking for a long time, he continued:

"I invite you all here today. First of all, we want to justify the title of Sun Moon Team. We still have to go through the proper procedures. My brother has also prepared a thank-you gift for Master Kong. I hope you will not despise it when the gift is presented."

Xu Tianxi raised his eyebrows slightly and said politely.

The Xingluo Empire is an empire with a history of ten thousand years, and its foundation is the deepest among the original three kingdoms. The Xingguan Sect was also once a first-class hidden sect, and it is worth looking forward to.

Suddenly, Meng Hongchen beside him interrupted and said, "Your Highness, I wonder what the rules of our duel tonight are?"

"It's mainly one-on-one, anything else doesn't mean much." Xu Jiujiu replied.

Meng Hongchen nodded slightly and said hello.

Xu Tianxi and Xiao Hongchen noticed that there seemed to be a fighting spirit rising in Meng Hongchen's eyes, and his expression changed slightly.

Leading the Sun and Moon Team to a position just behind Xu Jiawei and the two ninth-level soul mentors, Xu Jiujiu said goodbye to Xu Tianxi and his party and left gracefully.

Before Xu Jiujiu had left for long, Meng Hongchen sent a message to Xu Tianxi: "Tianxi, I think the Xingluo royal family may not have good intentions. You have to be careful."

Xu Tianxi raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"I can't explain it, I just feel it's not good, intuitively." Meng Hongchen said in a depressed tone.

Xu Tianxi nodded and said nothing more.

Focusing his attention on Xu Jiawei and others, Xu Tianxi discovered that Dai Yueheng seemed to be interested in building good relationships with Ma Rulong and other students of the Sun and Moon Team, while Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu disappeared in the crowd at some point.

"Is it a delaying tactic? Weird." Xu Tianxi thought to himself that it was weird, but then he stopped thinking about it and took some fruits with his mind cleared.

The level of the Xingluo Empire's dinner was quite good, and all the things served were good things that could help improve one's cultivation.

…

In the palace's dark room, Xu Jiawei took a round bead glittering with starlight from his uncle who was at level 97, and said, "Second uncle, this time we, the Xingguan lineage, have to take a gamble."

Xu Heng looked serious and said, "Jiawei, do we really want to gamble so much this time? Let's put our hopes on the people of the Sun Moon Empire."

"There is no way. The strength shown by the Sun-Moon Empire is far beyond our imagination, and Shrek is too useless. If a war breaks out, I really don't have much confidence."

Xu Jiawei sighed and said, "Now that I think about it, my nephew wants to dismiss or even convict all those idiots in the intelligence department. They actually thought that the Sun Moon Empire only had three ninth-level soul mentors."

"There are more than ten level nine soul masters who took action this time, and these ten or so are definitely not the entire force of the Sun Moon Empire. The five great national protectors are well-known, and the total number of their level nine soul masters is probably more than thirty."

"With such strength, once a war breaks out, our Xingluo Empire really won't be able to withstand it. Our Titled Douluo will be killed like Shrek, just like melons and vegetables."

Now recalling the battle seven days ago, Xu Jiawei still felt palpitations. Not only were the evil soul masters powerful, but the Sun and Moon soul masters were also too powerful. At the end of the battle, no one from the Sun and Moon faction died, only some were injured, while Shrek was completely wiped out from the old dean down, and only the dean of the soul guide department escaped, and the rest were packed up by the Sun and Moon Empire.

Apart from the Palace Master, the strength of Shrek's group was not much weaker than the priests of Xingluo City, and the fact that they were completely destroyed really shocked Xu Jiawei.

During the day of recuperation, he was not only thinking about how so many evil soul masters came from, but also how the Xu family could protect their entire family once the war started.

The most foolproof way is to surrender directly, but that would be too embarrassing and too unsafe, so Xu Jiawei directly ruled it out.

The second way is to step down as soon as possible and find a scapegoat to take his place, such as the Dai family. However, this matter involves too many things and it is difficult to accomplish at the moment, and there is also the risk of being hunted down.

The idea of ​​taking his family and escaping from Douluo Continent and going out to sea to avoid disaster also appeared in Xu Jiawei's mind, but there was too much uncertainty in this matter, and Xu Jiawei felt a headache no matter how he thought about it.

At this moment, the Prime Minister mentioned Xu Tianxi's charity work. Xu Jiawei immediately thought of Xu Tianxi's various feats that day: bombarding two Super Douluos, beheading three important figures of Shrek, and it seemed that he was still at odds with the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire...

Very good, very worth winning over. Xu Jiawei knew that he could not change the general trend, nor did he want to change it. His goal had been narrowed from preserving the Xingluo Empire to preserving the safety and inheritance of the Xu family.

To achieve this, Xu Jiawei believes that he still has a lot of bargaining chips.

"Second Uncle, our Xingguan family has enjoyed peace for more than 4,000 years, and we have enjoyed enough wealth and honor. I am now sitting on this throne, and I often feel like I am walking on thin ice, and I am gradually unable to do what I want..."

Xu Jiawei smiled bitterly and said, "If there wasn't someone who could take over for the time being, I wouldn't want to persist. The old nobles in the country are deeply rooted, Shrek is too useless, and the Xuanming Sect is powerful, but it is only interested in killing evil soul masters. I feel powerless..."

"The battle between Sun and Moon woke us up. I wanted to give chase, but the gap I saw was too big. In order to preserve the Xu family's inheritance, I had to make preparations for both situations. After all, I am not only the emperor, but also the current head of the Xu family."

Xu Heng nodded, and then said with some concern: "Even so, is it worth it for you to pay such a huge price for that person? This is the unique inheritance treasure of our Xingguan lineage, and you want Jiujiu to..."

Xu Jiawei closed his eyes and shook his head: "It's useless to keep the inheritance treasure if it can't play its best role. As for Jiujiu...it's hard to find a suitable choice for her with her identity. The only one in Xingluo Empire who is qualified to match her is the eldest son of Dai Hao's family, and now he is mostly useless."

"There's no need to think about the Douling Empire. There are no outstanding princes in the Tianhun Empire this generation. With Jiujiu's talent, it would be good for her to stay in the royal family for life. But since Sun and Moon have produced an unpredictable person like Kong Tianxi, we have no choice but to make a choice."

As he spoke, Xu Jiawei opened his eyes and smiled calmly, "And Jiujiu himself has no objection to this matter; although Kong Tianxi is from the Sun Moon Empire, he is not a pure soul mentor. He is willing to help our citizens, so there must be no problem with his character."

"Even if we take a step back, he and Jiujiu's descendants will destroy Xingluo, and the inheritance of my Xu family will not be cut off."

"You still want to help him become emperor? Is this appropriate?" Xu Heng looked surprised.

"That's a matter for later. It depends on how the future contacts turn out. Anyway, I don't think being an emperor is a good thing. If he can give my Xu family enough conditions, what's wrong with me helping him? Palace coups in the Sun Moon Empire are commonplace."

Xu Jiawei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Uncle, you need to pay more attention to the safety here. My nephew will go first."

Xu Heng said "hmm".

…

Xu Jiawei returned to the main seat and the dinner officially began.

After a speech consisting of chicken soup and clichés, the participating colleges and universities got down to business.

Not only will there be geniuses from the three major academies competing, but there will also be geniuses from some academies that were not matched during the competition.

Under Xu Jiawei's personal hosting, the scene was unexpectedly harmonious.

Ma Rulong defeated the Soul Emperor Captain of Diao Academy and said with a triumphant smile: "Without Shrek here, the atmosphere is surprisingly relaxed."

Xiao Hongchen smiled in agreement, and couldn't wait to go up and find Huang Heyun, the Dark Demon Tiger Fighting Soul Emperor of Xingluo Royal Academy. After a fierce battle, he returned victorious.

Xu Jiujiu smiled and invited the Sun and Moon Team to fight. Ma Rulong accepted the challenge, but was unexpectedly defeated because the opponent's Star Crown Martial Spirit was incredibly powerful.

Meng Hongchen came to the end, and the five-ring battle was between the six-ring. Xu Jiujiu released the Star Crown's magical skill, Star Guardian. No one could break it unless the Seven-Ring Soul Saint came out.

Meng Hongchen used poison when his attack failed, but Xu Jiujiu was carrying a poison-proof soul guide. The soul power of both of them was exhausted one after another, and Xu Jiawei was determined to be in a draw.

Just as Xu Tianxi was wondering whether he should leave the field, Xu Jiawei took the initiative to announce the rankings of the three major colleges and presented the championship awards on the spot.

Xu Tianxi led the Sun Moon Team to the stage to receive the award. Xu Jiawei smiled and said:

"My dear friend Tianxi, you have helped me a lot this time. I have prepared a special thank-you gift for you. Would you like to come over and take a look?"
