Chapter 1016 Ye Fox, Openly and Honestly Poaching People
"Hey, where am I going to stay tonight? I'm not going to sleep in the dungeon, am I?" Xiao Ye No. 1 had anticipated Xu Tianran's reaction.
The art of rulership lies in its manipulation.
Kong Deming was determined to protect him, so Xu Tianran naturally couldn't refuse to give the Grand Master face.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Kong Deming was half a member of the Sun Moon Royal Family, and he dedicated his life to the glory of the empire.
Ye Nanxiao will not miss the opportunity to learn Kong Deming's soul tool technology, and there is an 80% chance that he will not cause trouble.
If Kong Deming and Ye Nanxiao really do discover something, it won't be a loss for Xu Tianran, as long as the security of the offering hall is ensured.
"Are you really that comfortable with this? Why don't you come up and touch my face to see if it's really human skin?" Xiao Ye No. 1 looked up at Xu Tianran.
The cold glint in Xu Tianran's eyes never faded; he was also wondering whether the Ye Nanxiao in front of him was the real Ye Nanxiao, or just an avatar.
"If you're real, what are you doing here? If you're fake, what are you doing here?" Xu Tianran uttered a thought-provoking question.
Faced with riddle-like questions.
Xiao Ye No. 1 replied with just two words: "Guess?"
Xu Tianran showed neither sadness nor anger, as if he had expected this answer.
"Go down. You are in full charge of this matter, High Priest."
Kong Deming nodded and placed his hand on Xiao Ye No. 1's shoulder. A pair of Soul-Locking Stone Shackles locked his shoulders and passed under his armpits, like a half-body armor.
"It's quite heavy. Locking the collarbone is quite effective." Xiao Ye No. 1 tried to circulate the soul power in his body, but it was suppressed by the large area of soul-locking stone on his back, and the circulation speed was slower than a snail.
"Let's go. Remember to keep the soul guidance experiment table in my laboratory from now on," Kong Deming said, walking forward on his own.
Xiao Ye No. 1 stretched his body. This Soul-Locking Stone Shackles was just a set of weighted armor, and it didn't have much of an impact on him.
Xu Tianran returned to the Great Sun Palace. The Sun Moon Empire had begun to amass troops, and the entire country had entered a state of war. There were a great deal of affairs that he needed to handle.
"Your Majesty, why did you keep Ye Nanxiao here?" Feng Rong asked, puzzled.
The gates of the Great Sun Palace were not closed, and Feng Rong did not leave, so she saw everything that had just happened.
Xu Tianran patted his thigh, looked at Feng Rong with a burning desire in his eyes.
"Don't stand there like an idiot, I wasn't done enjoying myself yet!"
Feng Rong swallowed hard and quickly bent down in front of Xu Tianran. Fortunately, she had profound cultivation, otherwise...
The evil fire within him was gently soothed, and Xu Tianran's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"Keeping him alive is naturally useful. For example, I want to see why Ye Nanxiao went to such lengths to return and walk right into our trap."
"This is my territory, my domain. He's just a nobody who's not even a Title Douluo; he can't cause any trouble!"
A cold glint flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes; he was the true emperor here.
With the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace under his control, Ye Nanxiao, without the support of the Limit Douluo Elder Xuan, was destined to be unable to stir up any trouble.
Moreover, the latter does not have any storage soul tools, so it is most likely just a clone.
So what is the purpose of creating a clone?
Intelligence, data, and every move Xu Tianran himself made.
Could we use this clone to send false information to Ye Nanxiao and turn the tables on him?
"So that's how it is! Your Majesty! You truly are a person who surpasses all previous emperors of the Sun and Moon!" Feng Rong said with a look of admiration.
"Um!"
As Feng Rong spoke, Xu Tianran felt a sense of novelty once again.
He ripped off the hem of his robe, grabbed Feng Rong's chin, and said, "Become him! Hurry up!"
Xu Tianran allowed Ye Nanxiao to stay there, just as he had said, to find an opportunity to leak false information to Ye Nanxiao and seize the chance to turn the tables on him.
At the same time, there was another purpose, which was to test Kong Deming.
Although Kong Deming was loyal to the Sun Moon Empire, he had a lot of opinions about him as emperor, especially after he chose to use the Holy Spirit Cult. Kong Deming practically had the words "You are not a qualified emperor" written all over his face.
Fortunately, because of the dragon throne under Xu Tianran's buttocks, Kong Deming did not actually take action.
This is also what Xu Tianran is worried about. How can he sleep peacefully in the palace when there is someone who can pull you off the throne at any time!
Therefore, Xu Tianran chose to keep Ye Nanxiao, who had been brought back by Kong Deming. If Kong Deming really had something in mind, he would immediately reveal a flaw to Ye Nanxiao and lure him into taking action.
Whether it's stealing classified information, appearing in a classified area, or attempting to assassinate the emperor, Xu Tianran could pin the blame for inadequate surveillance on Kong Deming.
By then, Xu Tianran will be able to invoke the clan law!
Kong Deming was tried in the name of destroying his family.
The royal family is the root of the Sun Moon Empire, and Kong Deming, a man of principle, will absolutely not resist!
Thinking of this, Xu Tianran could no longer hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Whether you are a Grand Elder or the father of the Empire's Soul Tools, if you threaten my throne, you cannot be allowed to live!"
"That's strange. Xu Tianran didn't lock me up in the dungeon? He let me stay here all this time?" Little Ye No. 1 muttered.
"Old man Confucius, do you think he's gone mad with anger? Your emperor is usually such a petty and narrow-minded person!"
"Is the place you're taking me now the place of my final moments? Are you going to use me for experiments?"
Kong Deming walked ahead step by step, his steps steady and his breathing even, completely undisturbed by the noise from Xiao Ye No. 1.
On the road leading from the Sun and Moon Palace to the Hall of Worship, there were many heavily armored soldiers and secret guards keeping watch.
Xiao Ye No. 1 was not blindfolded; instead, he followed Kong Deming openly, surveying his surroundings.
One by one, the soul guide soldiers on patrol secretly cast curious glances at Xiao Ye No. 1.
They were all wondering who this important figure was, that the Grand Elder would personally lead the way.
However, Xiao Ye No. 1 was wearing those special soul-locking shackles, which clearly indicated that he was not a normal person.
The combination of the two piqued the soldiers' curiosity.
After passing through a series of security-protected passages, Xiao Ye No. 1 finally saw the so-called top secret location of the Sun Moon Empire: the Hall of Offerings.
That was a huge military base.
However, it is used in various laboratories, and the user is quite unconventional, leaving soul tools, raw materials, and forged metals scattered all over the place.
"No wonder Old Xuan likes to leave everything on the ground, so that's why!"
Xiao Ye No. 1 muttered to himself, not consciously controlling his volume, so Kong Deming heard him.
Kong Deming had a good impression of all the brilliant researchers from the Imperial Key Academy.
The latest novel is first published here!
Upon hearing the name "Old Xuan," Kong Deming quickly recalled a researcher who had once caused a sensation in the imperial court.
"You poached Xuan Ziwen?" Kong Deming asked with a hostile look in his eyes.
"Huh? You mean Lao Xuan? It's me, what's up?" Xiao Ye No. 1 didn't pretend and admitted it directly.
This isn't exactly a close-range ultimate attack; the main issue is that he's currently in a clone. If Kong Deming were to slap him to pieces, he'd have to go back!
"you!"
Even with Kong Deming's excellent manners, he was somewhat unable to maintain his composure at this moment due to Xiao Ye No. 1's arrogant attitude and response.
They openly and brazenly poached researchers trained by his Sun Moon Empire, and with such a self-righteous attitude.
Kong Deming moved his right hand, took a deep breath, and told himself that this was a clone left behind by Ye Nanxiao. If he attacked it, it would be gone.
Moreover, Ye Nanxiao would be holed up in Shrek Academy, so I couldn't break in to catch him.
My new theory on soul tools still needs Ye Nanxiao's help.
Kong Deming kept reassuring himself not to get angry.
But at the same time, I was still very unhappy.
It wasn't just targeting Ye Nanxiao, but also Xuan Ziwen.
The talents that the empire has carefully nurtured have just run away?
Is it that the Empire isn't providing you with enough resources, or that your laboratory isn't well-equipped?
Is the promotion system inadequate?
Kong Deming, harboring resentment, voiced his question.
"How exactly did you manage to poach Xuan Ziwen?"
"You seem surprised?" Xiao Ye No. 1 laughed.
Xuan Ziwen is just a senior researcher and shouldn't deserve Kong Deming's concern.
The old man was probably frustrated, wondering why Xuan Ziwen still ran away despite the Sun Moon Empire providing such good resources.
"Help me remove these shackles, and I'll tell you my secret recipe, how about that?" Little Ye No. 1 tapped the Soul-Locking Stone shackles on his body.
Kong Deming looked at Xiao Ye No. 1 and sighed, "If this thing could really trap you, you wouldn't be negotiating with me. You'd better hurry up and tell me, or I'll call Ju Zi later."
Xiao Ye's smile froze instantly. This old man was actually looking for outside help?
Has Orange Little Han been exposed?
Taking in the subtle changes in Ye Nanxiao's clone's expression, Kong Deming glanced around, entered the key, and opened the soul guide gate.
At this moment, there were not many people in the ancestral hall, and the doors of all the laboratories were open.
"To mobilize for this war, the emperor used all the tribute to declare war on the three former empires. He wanted to capture the main force of the three empires and released the Protectorate. It was because of this that Little Orange was exposed. You two..."
Xiao Ye No. 1 fell silent, and the frozen flower on his forehead flashed by.
He didn't want to do this.
When Ye Nanxiao opened his eyes again, his mind reconnected.
"What you brought me here for, I'll bring Lao Xuan here for the same reason. What Mingdetang gave me, my Tang Clan gave me even more of."
Hearing Ye Nanxiao's answer, Kong Deming nodded. That made sense. He brought Ye Nanxiao here to improve his theory of soul tools.
Xuan Ziwen, who was pursuing his own goals, would naturally choose the place that would be more helpful to him, especially since Xu Tianran had not yet launched a war mobilization at that time.
Given the complex structure of Mingdetang, Xuan Ziwen, lacking a powerful backer, had no choice but to gradually build up his seniority step by step.
"Master Kong, I've said what I needed to say. You don't just want to know about Teacher Xuan, do you?"
"Tell me how you kidnapped Little Orange."
