NOVEL NEXT Chapter 899: Chapter 250 What? The gods were defeated_1
"Hahaha, the Duchess indeed has a discerning eye," he said.
"Today, apart from those two matters, there truly is another issue for which I seek the help of the Duchess," Xu Jiawei said, his smile fading considerably, replaced by a serious demeanor.
The people behind him exchanged glances upon hearing this.
So there was indeed a hidden reason behind His Majesty's humble approach.
But what could the matter be?
Everyone subconsciously pricked up their ears,
eager to discover the secret.
However,
Xu Jiawei hadn't intended to hide anything by bringing them here.
He spoke solemnly, "My Martial Soul is somewhat special, and I've detected some unusual auras erupting within Xingluo City.
This aura is very powerful and sacred, which I find quite foreign.
Yet, it also faintly resembles something from the White Tiger Clan."
He stopped there, hesitant to continue.
After all, speculation is just speculation until it's confirmed, and some things are better left unsaid.
It would be quite embarrassing if he were wrong.
More importantly, it would be incredibly offensive.
The Duchess didn't immediately respond to Xu Jiawei's words.
Instead, she took her time sitting down before extending her hand in a welcoming gesture.
A complex look flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes, but he eventually took a seat on a chair, clearly a level below the Duchess.
However, considering the mysterious presence, he could only bear it.
At that moment, the Duchess spoke, "Your Majesty, your perceptive abilities truly are unmatched.
I must say, you aren't wrong.
Indeed, just now, an ancestor of our White Tiger Clan has descended.
That is what caused some disturbances and drew Your Majesty's attention."
Hiss...
An ancestor has descended?
Are you serious?
No wonder His Majesty would humbly submit, ready to face some humiliation with a smile.
Xu Jiawei's body quivered as he cautiously asked, "May I know which ancestor it is?"
In fact, he already had a guess.
There was only one person in the White Tiger Clan who had achieved greatness, and that was Dai Mubai.
He suspected it was very likely to be Dai Mubai.
Of course.
There was another who could be considered their ancestor, and that was Zhu Zhuqing.
However, Xu Jiawei felt this possibility was slim.
Because the aura of that mysterious presence gave him a sense of familiarity,
a sensation very similar to that of the White Tiger Clan.
The Duchess had meanwhile adopted a serious expression, her eyes filled with reverence, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you've ever heard of the name Dai Mubai?"
Dai Mubai?
Xu Jiawei was taken aback before replying, "Of course, I have."
"Dai Mubai was one of the most outstanding members of the Shrek Seven Monsters, a powerful leader who overthrew the rule of the Martial Soul Hall millennia ago.
His friendship with Sea God Tang San was stronger than gold..."
Xu Jiawei continued to heap praise after praise.
His expression was one of utter veneration.
It was as if he truly believed Dai Mubai was their ancestor.
That expression would make anyone give a thumbs up and remark on the sincerity.
Indeed.
Xu Jiawei had also guessed that the mysterious presence was none other than Dai Mubai.
A slight smile appeared on the Duchess's lips.
Xu Jiawei's words were in praise of Dai Mubai, but it seemed as if he was praising her, filling her with delight.
Yes... satisfying.
And as for those Titled Douluo powerhouses brought by Xu Jiawei, they were no ordinary characters either.
With their acumen, they had already inferred the truth of the matter.
```
They were utterly shaken.
Dai Mubai had descended upon Soul Land!
It was just too damn astonishing.
..
After a long while.
Xu Jiawei had already used up all the words of admiration he could think of, right or wrong, and had said them all.
He also felt some regret that he had been too distracted by state affairs over the years and hadn't spent much time reading and studying, or else he could have praised a few more sentences.
"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, the ancestor who descended from the distant Divine Realm is none other than the ancestor Dai Mubai."
"May I know where the ancestor is? Could I be so fortunate as to meet him and listen to his teachings?"
Xu Jiawei eagerly climbed the pole.
At this moment, his true intentions were laid bare.
He had come for Dai Mubai.
So...
If not now to make his intentions clear, then when?
"Your Majesty's timing is really not coincidental, the eminent ancestor just left to take care of some matters."
The Duchess shook her head slightly, still with an indifferent demeanor.
What?
He left?
Xu Jiawei was stunned.
He had spent all this time spouting flattering words until his lips were dry, without even a sip of water, all to offer a flattery powerful enough to shock the heavens and move ghosts and gods.
But as it turned out... the other party hadn't heard a word.
You're telling me this, brother, is simply outrageous.
Xu Jiawei's face turned somewhat ugly.
"Ahem," the Duchess coughed lightly, then said, "Your Majesty, the eminent ancestor did have some matters to deal with, not that he has directly returned to the Divine Realm.
If there's anything you wish to do or say, you may tell me, and I can relay it for you."
The Duchess was a smart woman.
She knew that after her pretense had been exposed, it was no longer suitable to put on airs.
Otherwise, she would be the one to lose face.
Xu Jiawei would no longer indulge her.
After all.
The respect he just displayed was intended for that ancestor Dai Mubai, who was not in the Duchy Residence.
Upon hearing the Duchess's words, Xu Jiawei's expression eased somewhat.
"The Duchess has the right of it, Jiawei indeed has a request.
Please speak kind words in front of ancestor Dai Mubai on my behalf," he said.
Xu Jiawei internally harbored disappointment, but he still held onto hope.
After all, didn't the Duchess say so?
The eminent ancestor would return.
"Your Majesty, please speak of the matter first," said the Duchess.
The Duchess didn't immediately agree.
Xu Jiawei's eyes flickered as he slowly spoke, "The situation of our Xingluo Empire, as the Lady must have seen, is indeed precarious.
Tossed and turned by the stormy winds.
The Sun-Moon Empire and the evil Soul Masters are critical factors disrupting the stability of the Empire and must be eliminated.
Hence, I came to see if I could perhaps request ancestor Dai Mubai's assistance to help stabilize our Empire?"
Hmph, as expected, it's for such matters... The Duchess inwardly sneered.
They were all smart people. When Xu Jiawei came to the mansion and lowered his posture so much, she knew there must be important matters he needed help with.
And the only problem that Xu Jiawei, with all his capabilities, couldn't solve, was currently the Sun-Moon Empire.
Soon.
A troubled expression appeared on the Duchess's face.
"Rest assured, my Lady, I won't let the great ancestor lift a finger for nothing.
If you can convey my thoughts to the great ancestor, I am willing to offer five million golden soul coins as compensation.
If the Lady can persuade the great ancestor to aid us, I am willing to offer tens of millions of golden soul coins as thanks," Xu Jiawei said urgently.
The Duchess shook her head slightly, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, both the Evil Soul Master Organization and the Sun-Moon Empire have Title Douluo of the Ninety-Ninth Rank. These are top-tier existences.
You'll need to pay more."
