Although he did not express his intention to compete for the throne.
But Xu Jinyu did not waste this time.
In five months, in addition to secretly wooing officials who once belonged to Xu Tianran's lineage in the court, he also gained a lot of reputation among the people and the court through his contribution to the monster siege.
Xu Han also took this opportunity to build momentum for him.
The sun and the moon are now stable, and his contribution is obvious to all.
Therefore, under this operation, Xu Jinyu jumped directly from the transparent prince that no one cared about to a hot young talent in the Sun and Moon Empire. Reversing the original image in one fell swoop.
For a time, it can be said that he was famous and in the limelight.
Nowadays, almost everyone knows the prince of Prince Heng's palace who has made a name for himself even without making a name for himself. I saw the skills and abilities of His Royal Highness.
As for the officials who originally belonged to the prince's lineage...
At first, when Xu Tianran disappeared, the officials of the prince's faction were not panicked and thought he was feeling unwell. Just rest for a few days.
But since that day, Xu Tianran has never appeared in public again. As the crown prince and heir apparent, leaving so suddenly at such an important moment feels wrong no matter how you look at it.
After all, at such a sensitive moment, the prince disappeared from the world, which is really easy for people to have some bad associations. For example, it is possible to depose the prince and replace the crown prince.
As a result, these officials began to search for information about Xu Tianran. But whether it was the Prince's Mansion or the Royal Palace, the news was tightly blocked by Kong Deming, and they could not get any news at all.
So as time went on, more and more gossip started getting passed around at all levels. For example: Prince Xu Tianran was possessed by a demon, attempted rebellion and was abandoned, etc.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
After all, only a small number of officials had feelings for the prince. For others, the most important thing is profit. And Xu Jinyu can just bring enough benefits.
So during this period, Xu Jinyu's team was rapidly expanding. After the fall of Xu Tianran, almost 50% of the forces of the former prince's lineage were absorbed by him.
Unconsciously--
In terms of reputation, power, and influence, Xu Jinyu is no longer weaker than any of the princes in the Sun and Moon Court, and even surpasses them.
All that's missing now is the opportunity for a formal showdown.
But it was still early, and Xu Jinyu was not in a hurry.
He will only make his intentions clear when he can ensure he takes the initiative.
And after labeling the evil soul masters with the poison of faith, the power of the Holy Spirit Sect in the Sun and Moon Empire was steadily retreating. Their life was not easy without Xu Tianran's help.
"..."
besides--
I don’t know what Kong Deming was researching during this period. In addition to gathering all the senior soul masters in the Enshrinement Hall, all the major soul master corps and Mingde Hall were also transferred there.
My own teacher, senior sister, Jing Hongchen, Xuan Ziwen, Lin Jiayi and many other familiar teachers were among them. And since being transferred, Su Luoheng has never seen them again.
It seems... Mr. Kong is preparing for some big move.
…
…
Underground training room.
"Qiang Qiang——"
The sound of gold and iron clashing kept ringing.
For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and the chill was overwhelming.
I saw Su Luoheng and Snow Emperor clashing their swords, attacking and defending each other.
As the sword light flashed, the two had fought countless times.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the sword in Snow Emperor's hand shook.
A silver-white sword flower flashed out, bringing with it a biting chill, and stabbed directly towards Su Luoheng's chest.
Facing this sword, Su Luoheng, who had enough time to dodge, was delayed for some reason. When he reacted, the sword in the Snow Emperor's hand was already less than three inches away from him.
Unable to avoid it, Su Luoheng had no choice but to block it with his sword.
"clang--"
A crisp crash sounded in the basement.
The moment the sword blades collided, the huge momentum was transmitted, causing Su Luoheng's jaw to crack and hurt. His whole arm went numb, his palms trembled violently, and the long sword in his hand actually flew away.
At the same time, Su Luoheng flew backwards.
There was a muffled sound of "Peng" and it hit the wall.
"Zheng!"
The blade fell to the ground with a sound.
At this time, Snow Emperor had already put away his sword and stood up.
When she judged that Su Luoheng could not resist, she had already withdrawn half of the power of the sword. If not, Su Luoheng's body would definitely be stained by this sword blow.
Although there is a tardigrade soul bone that can be healed, after returning from the far north, the Snow Emperor rarely strikes hard.
"..."
moment.
"Ahem——"
Su Luoheng moved his sore right arm a few times.
After a slight adjustment, he stood in front of the Snow Emperor again.
"Sister Xue, come again."
He continued to challenge, but his wandering eyes clearly showed that he had something else on his mind. Even the defeat in the battle just now was due to this distraction.
You must know that when the Snow Emperor competed with Su Luoheng, their strength was controlled at the same level. Even if he was inferior to Snow Emperor in swordsmanship, he would not be defeated so easily.
"You are not in a position to continue now."
The Snow Emperor pointed at the long sword in Su Luoheng's hand and said, "Your sword tells me that you are very confused right now. It has affected your sword moves and you are unable to show your true level."
"Under this situation, if you continue, it will only get worse like before. So before you calm down, continuing to compete will not improve you in any way."
"Sister Xue..."
"It seems that I can't hide anything from you..."
Su Luoheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
Immediately afterwards, he put down the long sword in his hand and sat on the ground.
Seeing this, Emperor Xue didn't say anything, but just accompanied him quietly.
If Su Luoheng wanted to say something, he would definitely say it to himself. The reverse is also true. So she didn't need to say anything more.
"..."
There was silence for a while.
"Sister Xue, I don't know..."
"The poison of faith has affected the mainland. Just one transformed monster has made it difficult for the Sun and Moon Empire to deal with it... Then what can I do when the golden ancient tree really breaks out?"
"..."
Su Luoheng looked at Snow Emperor with a low voice.
The monster incident is just the prelude to the outbreak of the poison of faith, and a prelude can have such an impact. It was really hard for Su Luoheng to imagine what would happen when he really broke out?
In that case, what should I do?
So ever since the monster appeared, Su Luoheng has been feeling anxious because of this matter. And as time goes by, this worry becomes more and more serious.
After all, he is just a fifteen-year-old boy now.
Normal soul masters are still thinking about breaking through to the soul master or soul master at this time, but Su Luoheng is facing a crisis that can destroy the entire Douluo Continent.
He was suddenly under so much pressure. If he had been busy all the time, he wouldn't have noticed it, but when he had some free time, he couldn't help but think of those images.
Although Su Luoheng is a genius, he can also feel anxious and confused. They will also be influenced by this emotion.
"..."
Seeing this, Emperor Xue felt distressed.
She knew exactly what kind of pressure was on the shoulders of the young man in front of her.
"stand up."
Suddenly, Snow Emperor walked up to him.
Su Luoheng stood up without knowing why.
Just as he was doubting, a wisp of fragrance floated into his nose.
Immediately afterwards, he fell into the embrace of the Snow Emperor.
Her delicate body, as gentle as jade, is as close to her as weak and boneless.
"Snow. Sister Snow..."
Su Luoheng suddenly froze on the spot and raised his head in confusion.
Then he saw the Snow Emperor's beautiful face, so close to Chi Chi.
Suddenly, an elegant and sweet fragrance entered Su Luoheng's mind, causing his mind to sway slightly. Snow Emperor's hug was not forceful, and her warmth made him feel inexplicably at ease.
At the same time, a soft voice sounded in his ears.
"Luo Heng, you have done a good enough job."
"Because of your advance notice, the Sun and Moon Empire was able to prepare for this crisis in advance and avoid the spread of the poison of faith causing more serious losses. You won this confrontation."
"You have the ability to change the effects of the poison of faith. And no matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side. I will always believe that you can do it."
"so……"
"Stop putting too much pressure on yourself, okay?"
The Snow Emperor wrapped her cool hands around Su Luoheng's waist, and her gentle and whispering voice was as clear and distant as spring water in the winter. Slowly flowing into the deepest part of the young heart, giving strong support to the anxious young man.
"Sister Xue..."
At this moment, although Su Luoheng was confused and anxious, he was relieved and relieved by the Snow Emperor's comfort. He opened his arms and hugged Snow Emperor back, resting his head on his shoulders.
That warmth dispelled some of the haze buried in my heart.
Snow Emperor patted his thin back, a flash of emotion in his eyes.
At this moment, Su Luoheng's lips inadvertently landed on his fair and smooth neck. Feeling the warm breath coming from his neck, Snow Emperor groaned, a blush appearing on his cheeks.
She wanted to raise her hand to push Su Luoheng away, but her fingers touched
When he arrived at Su Luoheng, he couldn't help but think of his appearance just now, and finally stopped his movements, but looked away slightly embarrassed.
"..."
In this way, the two of them hugged each other.
There was silence for a long time, and the atmosphere became unusually peaceful.
Finally, Snow Emperor took the lead to break the silence.
"That Luo Heng..."
"Is that okay?"
"..."
After a period of silence, the Snow Emperor lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Su Luoheng with a slight embarrassment. Only then did he realize that at some point, the young man had already fallen asleep on his shoulder.
Su Luoheng's spirit has been tense these days due to worries about the golden ancient tree, and his meditation and rest have also been affected. So as soon as he relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep without any warning.
"..."
Seeing this, the Snow Emperor sighed helplessly.
So, she took Su Luoheng back to the bedroom upstairs and placed him smoothly on the bed. After doing all this, the Snow Emperor looked at the sleeping boy.
He was lying on the bed like this, his hair gently blowing on his forehead, and there was a hint of fatigue in his slightly wrinkled brows. But his breathing was even and he slept peacefully. It's like all the baggage has been lifted off.
"..."
The Snow Emperor sat beside the bed, his slender jade hands slowly brushing away the messy hair covering the young man's forehead. The young man's handsome face was reflected in the ice-blue hole.
Suddenly, she leaned close to the young man.
After a while, Snow Emperor stood up and left the room.
There was just a hint of blush on her face, and even her snow-white skin was stained with a layer of rouge-like pink. It has not yet returned to its original indifferent appearance.
It seems that...the lips have become a little rosier, and there seems to be a faint flash of crystal luster.
"..."
At the same time, the spiritual sea.
"Luo Heng, you must never let me down..."
Mr. Yin, who had witnessed everything secretly, smiled and stroked his beard with an expression as if he had been hit.
Mr. Yin didn't mean to watch them exchange feelings. It just happened to happen that he happened to catch up. He was just about to observe the recent situation of his apprentice, but unexpectedly he saw this scene.
All I can say is... it's purely a coincidence~
However, Mr. Yin was still very pleased to see this scene.
