Chapter 1070 The Great Emperor's Expedition
Heavenly Soul Empire, Heavenly Battle City.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly received a message from his underground laboratory in the Tang Sect.
After checking, he learned that Huo Yuhao had searched through the soul tools in his laboratory and then left.
Judging from his appearance, it seems he will be away for quite some time.
Ye Nanxiao marked the information as read, allowing the terminal to detect it.
"Old Yi's typing is so fluent this time? No wonder he's a genius from another world, he learns things so fast. Next time, I'll show him a book on Soul Guidance Technology, maybe we can even train a genius old man who can master Soul Guidance devices."
Ye Nanxiao put away his communication device, walked out of the restroom, and returned to the reception hall.
They rushed back to Tiandou City, first comforting Xu Sanshi, who was crying because he had encountered some troubles in the middle of his struggle, and then followed Long Aotian directly into the palace to meet Princess Vina.
At this moment, they were in Princess Vina's palace, the Weiyang Palace.
Princess Vina pulled Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan to sit on a light gold leather sofa, where they chatted enthusiastically.
Beibei sat on the other side, holding a teacup and deep in thought, as did Long Aotian; the two grown men remained silent.
On the way back, Ye Nanxiao quickly explained the important matters to Long Aotian.
It's simply that the largest lineage sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire has already been brought on board, and the remaining aristocratic families and sects are not worth worrying about.
The Tang Clan has already exerted its strength. With the backing of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce's secret channels, dealing with the businesses behind the princes' forces is like fighting monsters in a beginner's village.
I heard you resell soul tools and materials?
Dude, we have the latest Soul Guidance Devices on sale. If you recharge your membership card with 10,000 Gold Soul Coins, you'll get a 9.9% discount coupon and a free delicious lunch.
My buddy also secretly imports rare metal materials from the Sun Moon Empire, ensuring they're foreign goods.
Is the Tang Clan being blocked from a commercial standpoint?
Impossible Brothers.
Ye Nanxiao returned to his seat, looked at the two silent men, and joked, "You know what? The way you two are right now is like men shopping with their wives. The wives are having a great time, while you two are just resting in silence."
Beibei rolled her eyes at him, while Long Aotian looked at Ye Nanxiao and said, "How about we do something more meaningful? How about a couple of sparring matches?"
"No way! I'm finally getting some peace and quiet. If you're so bored, why don't you think about going home and having some fun? Your wife's position isn't very secure right now," Ye Nanxiao said in a low voice.
Long Aotian coughed twice and glared at him. Could you please speak a little quieter?
Ye Nanxiao smiled, a playful look on his face, and took out an old manual from his storage ring. It was inscribed with the name "Indestructible Kidney Technique".
Long Aotian knew that his image was now beyond redemption.
"Ahem, well, Vina doesn't have that idea yet. Let's deal with those guys, Vit and the others, first."
But he still obediently took the secret manual that was on the table.
It wasn't for any particular reason, but mainly because he knew that anything he got from Ye Nanxiao was definitely something good!
"By the way, does the Tang Clan have any new body-training equipment lately? I feel like the ones you gave me last time are no longer effective."
"Brother Long, the Tang Sect doesn't have any research and development plans for this right now, but if you have any suggestions, you can let us know. These body-forging devices are very popular, especially among Soul Masters with Beast Martial Souls," Bei Bei said.
"Sales are quite good, and Brother Long, you guys are professional enough! Your bodies are your weapons, and you definitely know best which parts to train and how to train them! We can definitely launch targeted training sets! We can even arrange for a construction team to come and customize them!" Ye Nanxiao thought about it, realizing that his knowledge in this area was still somewhat shallow, after all, the people in this world were different.
Long Aotian and his group of outstanding members of the Body Sect must know how to target specific training methods.
The three men huddled together, discussing what seemed like a promising new business opportunity.
A series of silvery laughs mingled with the sounds of discussion.
It felt like a leisurely day.
But a short while later, a palace maid came in and presented an invitation with both hands.
"Father is ready, let's go." Princess Vina picked up the invitation and placed it in Tang Ya's hand.
Aside from discussing some important matters, Princess Vina's other purpose in inviting the Tang Clan was to gain their support.
When the Emperor goes on an expedition, all forces will gather at Tiandou Square, facing Zhenwu Sect, to see off the departing soldiers.
At the same time, having the opportunity to be sent out to compete is also a chance to showcase one's strength.
Ye Nanxiao straightened his gorgeous clothes.
"Princess Vina, is it too much to charge her an appearance fee for every three meals?"
Princess Vina smiled slightly, "Then you can owe it to my husband. Go ahead and eat Aotian out of house and home!"
Long Aotian's expression changed slightly, showing a hint of bitterness. Ye Nanxiao was a Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul, and he also honed his bones and muscles, so he must be able to eat a lot.
Can my wallet hold up?
This fox will definitely take the opportunity to rip me off.
Ye Nanxiao laughed and put his arm around Long Aotian's shoulder, his steps light and quick.
Rake in the big spenders! We must rake in the big spenders!
The group made no attempt to conceal their identities and reappear at the end, chatting and laughing with Princess Vina and Long Aotian along the way.
Some of the patrolling soldiers on the road, after bowing to Princess Vina, had a change of expression and hurriedly tried to find a way to inform her.
Princess Vina saw these people and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Ye Nanxiao quickly noticed some unfriendly stares directed at him and his companions.
Several officials dressed in the official robes of the Heavenly Soul Empire, with distinctive snow lotus patterns embroidered on their robes, stood at the front of the road, accompanied by several armored soldiers.
"Your humble servant greets Princess Vina!"
Several officials greeted each other first, then their malicious gazes fell on Ye Nanxiao, who was walking at the front.
"Who are these gentlemen? Do they have invitations? We are here to oversee the grand ceremony before the expedition; may we first inspect them?"
Ye Nanxiao smiled, took out the invitation, and handed it to the official who had spoken.
He hadn't opened the invitation, but he seemed to understand what was going to happen next.
Princess Vina instantly thought of the palace maid who had brought her the invitation earlier, but now that she thought about it, that person was not a familiar face.
As Ye Nanxiao expected, the leading official, after reading the invitation, wore a fake smile and said, "Distinguished guests, this invitation does not indicate the number of people, so it counts as one person. There are four of you distinguished guests. Why don't you choose one of them, and the rest of you please follow us to the arranged lounge?"
A murderous intent flashed in Princess Vina's eyes in an instant.
Two thunderous sounds emanated from within Long Aotian's body.
The latest novel is first published here!
Several officials were somewhat afraid, but the thought of the soldiers behind them gave them a bit of courage. They put on fake smiles and bent over to meet Princess Vina's gaze.
Several soldiers also revealed themselves at the opportune moment, their hands resting on the swords at their waists.
Princess Vina's mind raced. Anyone who dared to trip her up meant that her own people had been diverted. They were using the departure ceremony to dampen her spirits while also trying to sow discord between her and the Tang Clan.
I estimate that as soon as Ye Nanxiao and the others are separated from me, they will be taken to the prepared reception room and then bribed and sown apart.
Regardless of whether he and Ye Nanxiao and the others believed in each other, there would still be a crack in the relationship in the end.
Even the strongest shield can develop into a fatal wound if it develops a crack, even a tiny one.
What should we do? None of our people are here.
Princess Vina narrowed her eyes slightly; no matter what, a countermeasure had to be taken.
Ye Nanxiao said "Oh," with a hint of apology, "What a forgetful me! I forgot I put the other invitations away!"
As if by magic, he produced three more invitations.
Several officials instantly gaped and stared wide-eyed.
Princess Vina was also surprised for a moment, but then she regained her composure.
"Vice Sect Leader Ye, with such a bad memory, you mustn't forget the time for the big meal later."
"Haha, how could I forget the princess's feast! I'll write it down in my notebook right now."
After Ye Nanxiao finished speaking, he took out a small notebook, picked up a pen, and began to take notes carefully.
The leading official stood there, bewildered, holding the three extra invitations.
He was convinced that the invitation in his hand was fake, but he couldn't open it to check it in front of Princess Vina.
We've already displeased the princess; if we were to refuse her request now, we would be utterly disgracing the royal family.
Moreover, they had already sensed the murderous intent emanating from Princess Vina.
They all risked their lives and now they had to beg Princess Vina for a chance.
The leading official instantly grasped the entire process.
He quickly smiled apologetically, bending even lower.
"It was our department's inadequate handling of the matter. Someone should have accompanied us to explain things. Your Highness and distinguished guests, this way please. I will immediately hold a meeting in the department to conduct an inspection! We will thoroughly investigate officials who have failed to perform their duties effectively!"
Ye Nanxiao and the others understood the meaning behind the words. The leader immediately absolved himself of his power and begged for mercy, handing over power to Princess Vina.
Princess Vina gave a faint "hmm" and left with Ye Nanxiao and the others.
The leading official kept his head bowed, and even after Princess Vina and her companions had disappeared from sight at the end of the road, he still moved very slowly and carefully to straighten up.
Several soldiers snorted and were about to question him when they discovered that they had lost all feeling in their thighs.
A thin wisp of frost climbed onto their armor.
If they had spoken up or even tried to stop them, they might have been subdued immediately.
None of the officials blamed the leader. After losing a round of bargaining, they shouldn't be thinking about what to do next or how to give an explanation, but rather how to extricate themselves from this vortex. At the very least, they should try to express their stance to Princess Vina, no matter the cost.
Those who become officials, unless they were simply assigned to slack off and wait to die, are all shrewd and resourceful individuals.
