Chapter 272 Lies Don't Hurt (Part 1)
Are you going or not?!
"No way! I'd rather die than go!"
"I command you, you must go!"
"No, I don't want to. This is my seventh blind date this month, and I really don't want to go anymore..."
…………
Inside the main hall, Luo Yu and Xu Tianran were arguing heatedly, their faces red and necks bulging.
"This time it really won't work. I've already promised. A promise is a promise. How can I go back on my word? Just bear with it, it won't take long." Xu Tianran pleaded, looking at Luo Yu's resistant expression.
"No, I absolutely refuse to go!!!"
Being pressured to get married by Xu Tianran was painful enough, but now she was being forced to go on blind dates. Luo Yu had never felt so miserable before.
If it weren't for the fear that things might spiral out of control, Luo Yu would have wanted Yan Lingshu to cover for her, but...
I think I'll pass on it. Some things will gradually get out of control over time and then develop uncontrollably.
The argument didn't last long, and Xu Tianran eventually compromised because Luo Yu boldly brought out Kong Deming and many offerings from Mingdetang.
Putting everything else aside, which of the worshippers in Mingde Hall wouldn't want to send their family's descendants under Luo Yu's command?
The matter was dropped.
Luo Yu is now twenty years old, and Xu Tianran hopes that he can marry into the royal family or that his offspring will be descendants of the royal family, because only in this way will Luo Yu be completely bound to the interests of the royal family.
He was certain that Luo Yu would stand by him, but once the next generation came along, the future was uncertain. If he died of illness or left for various reasons, and Luo Yu retired, the Sun Moon Empire would face internal strife in the future.
If the next generation of heirs does not have someone like Luo Yu or the Hall Master to fully support them, the empire will fall into internal strife. Even before he ascended the throne, the empire had already experienced various uprisings and rebellions, large and small.
Once this kind of thing starts, it's bound to happen again in the future. Uprisings have occurred in the three great empires, but they were quickly suppressed.
"I just wonder who will ultimately win the prize?" Orange said calmly, looking at Xu Tianran.
"What, do you have someone to recommend?" Xu Tianran asked, looking at Ju Zi who was still reviewing memorials.
After a moment of silence, Ju Zi said, "If I were to say there is someone, then currently, besides the royal princess, there is only one other person who would be suitable."
"Dreaming of the Mortal World?"
The name popped into Xu Tianran's mind: one of the future heirs of the Hongchen family, Xiao Hongchen's younger sister, and the granddaughter of the hall master.
"Let me think about it some more. Some things can't be decided too soon..."
…………
"Dean Yan, I think I can graduate from Shrek Academy now. I completed my graduation assessment during this inspection team operation."
After Shrek Academy launched its rescue operation, Luo Jing officially submitted his graduation application to Shrek Academy.
The last time he faced Su Yu, he felt that Su Yu seemed to have made almost no progress. Based on his analysis, Su Yu probably didn't get the Snow Emperor.
Su Yu doesn't have Electrolux, nor does he possess twin martial souls, and he lacks the resources to subdue the Snow Empress. Although Su Yu has always been deified by the Shrek Academy, judging from all the situations Su Yu has shown so far, he is currently searching for ways to improve his combat power.
It is precisely because his own strength is insufficient to continue that Su Yu rarely shows himself now. As for Su Yu's Mirror Martial Soul, although it has certain magical aspects, its future potential is not yet at that abnormal level.
As a transmigrator, it's not surprising that Su Yu has the strength to challenge opponents of higher levels, but since the last competition, Su Yu's situation has obviously been very bad.
Luo Jing lay in his dormitory analyzing the situation. He strongly suspected that the Su family had faked their deaths and fled to the Sun Moon Empire, but how could the Sun Moon Empire have quietly taken in this group of people from the Su family?
Given the nature of the Sun Moon Empire, wouldn't it be normal for them not to launch a massive publicity campaign, force Su Yu to lose his reputation, and then have him join the Sun Moon Empire?
The situation was far too complicated. Luo Jing felt like his CPU was about to burn out. There was only one transmigrator between Luo Yu and Su Yu, but no matter how he tried to deduce the situation based on the original plot, he felt that the problem was too complicated.
Moreover, judging from the current timeline, the Sun Moon Empire will declare full-scale war within two years.
In two years, Su Yu could only reach level 70 at most, not to mention that he is currently only level 60.
"Luo Jing, your graduation application has been approved by the Sea God Pavilion. Where do you plan to work in the future? Have you considered staying at the university to teach?" Yan Shaozhe asked, looking at Luo Jing.
Luo Jing shook his head and continued, "Dean Yan, I plan to join the military of the Star Luo Empire. My family is also in the military, so I plan to inherit the family business after graduation."
…………
Border of the Sun and Moon Empire.
A group of uninvited guests quickly approached the border.
Leading the group was Elder Xuan, followed by Elder Song, and then four other senior elders. Also present were Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy, and Qian Duoduo, Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department.
Qian Duoduo recently advanced to level 95, officially becoming a Super Douluo. This group is Shrek Academy's main force; their mission is to cause trouble in a grand manner.
However, what puzzles everyone in the original story is that a group of Super Douluo sent a group of Soul Saints to the Sun Moon Empire to rescue people, without any concern that they would be wiped out by the evil Soul Masters and Title Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire...
The eight individuals unleashed their soul power, relentlessly bombarding the border defenses of the Sun Moon Empire.
This behavior did not last long and stopped quickly.
"Shrek people, listen up! You have violated the agreement we reached. If you continue to sabotage us, we will send the remaining corpses of your three great empires to the border for your viewing pleasure."
A level nine Soul Master used a Soul Guidance Device to amplify his voice, and Shrek Academy fell silent for a moment.
"Ignore them, they won't dare to kill. Let's keep attacking and draw their fire. Only in this way will Yuhao and the others be safe."
The explosions began in the middle of the night and did not stop until dawn.
The destruction caused by the combined efforts of eight Super Douluos was immeasurable. When this news reached Xu Tianran's ears, he showed no emotion and simply replied with two words: "Kill them."
The following day, at the border, more than fifty corpses were hung high on the border flag.
The familiar clothes and badges gleamed in the sunlight, so bright they hurt everyone's eyes.
"Listen up, Super Douluos of the Three Great Empires! His Majesty has issued an order: if you continue to cause trouble, next time it won't be just fifty people."
The general guarding the border knew that no matter how large an army he sent, he couldn't hold back the eight Super Douluos from Shrek Academy, so he didn't put up much resistance. The casualties were only a few dozen people affected, but the loss of soul tools was extremely heavy.
"Those beasts from the Sun and Moon Empire actually dared to kill people! Aren't they afraid of retaliation from the three great empires?!" The elder of Shrek clenched his fists and roared furiously.
"Alright, since it's already happened, there's no point in arguing anymore. Our operation this time is also to put pressure on the Sun Moon Empire. Since they dared to kill, it means they can't handle us. We've already prepared for the worst in this rescue operation, so we can't back down!"
These were all agreed upon in advance by the three great empires, because they were certain that the Sun and Moon Empire would not dare to attack the royal family, since attacking the royal family would result in a declaration of war against all three great empires at the same time.
This rescue operation consumed the resources of all the sects in the three great empires, excluding the royal families...
Sun and Moon Palace.
Xu Tianran's face was somewhat pale. "Those guys from the border army are actually quite smart; they only suffered a few dozen casualties. Although they lost a lot, they didn't lose many important Soul Masters. Do those guys from the three great empires really intend to start a war with us?"
Ju Zi frowned slightly as she looked at the battle report. "Your Majesty, the three great empires will likely continue their attacks. Although we have already killed a number of people, the three great empires have not yet responded. Clearly, this time their targets are the royal families and core members of the three great empires."
Xu Tianran also had his own guesses about this, but his guesses differed from Ju Zi's.
In terms of deterrence alone, he has a bigger trump card than the three great empires, but the actions of the three great empires are too abnormal. Their reckless retaliation and deterrence alone speaks volumes.
However, even though he knows things are very unusual, he can't figure out what the problems are.
Human thinking is always limited, and Xu Tianran knew very well that he was not some kind of infallible genius.
"Check the recent situation of various shipping companies for me, and see if anyone outside the Sun Moon Empire has chartered any ships. At the same time, send people to negotiate with the three great empires. The exchange and study will end in six months. Although the data collected is not complete, it will be enough for us to study."
This time, Xu Tianran did not ask Luo Yu as usual. According to his usual habits, he did not need to worry about these things.
"At the same time, spread the news that the titled Douluo of the three great empires broke the agreement and attacked the border of the Sun Moon Empire, resulting in the death of a large number of hostages held by the three great empires. We hope that the three great empires will give a reasonable explanation and spread the video of the attack by the three great empires yesterday and the video of our warning to them. Don't worry about the cost, make sure that the important cities of the three great empires see this news."
Ju Zi looked at Xu Tianran with some surprise. This time, this incredibly clever madman was starting to exert his strength.
"What about those members of the royal family?" Orange asked Xu Tianran. "Transfer them to another prison, or..."
"Pick a few pretty ones and send them to Luo Yu." Xu Tianran revealed a strange smile.
