Douluo Continent's Spirit Empire

Not long after Dai Mubai went upstairs, David Qing also came out of the corridor, preparing to leave.

David Qing's face was expressionless, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. David Qing felt eyes on him in the waiting room, so he looked at Xu Junfang.

David Qing withdrew his gaze when he realized that Xu Junfang was only a child of about 10 years old. He did not go to the ballroom on the second floor like his elder brother Davis and younger brother Dai Mubai.

David Qing seemed not to want to stay here for too long.

Xu Junfang watched helplessly as David Qing walked out of the waiting room door and was swallowed up by the darkness of the night.

Xu Junfang had nothing to do, so he sat down on the sofa in the waiting room and looked at the strange nobles going up and down the stairs and coming in and out.

There were not many people in Hou's living room, but there were seven or eight people besides Xu Jun's room.

Perhaps the waiting time was a bit long, and Xu Junfang was a little unbearable sitting on the sofa. Half of the time for burning incense had passed, and Luo Yixue hadn't come back yet.

Xu Junfang propped up his legs, stood up from the sofa, and said to the two people behind him: "Come upstairs with me and take a look."

Mosca and Lusilia followed silently.

The stairs on the first floor and the second floor are on both sides of the waiting room, Xu Junfang walked up step by step along the side where Dai Mubai went up.

The second floor is different from what Xu Junfang imagined. He thought it was a so-called masked dance hall when he went upstairs, but in fact, it was a small floating half-floor without glass. Standing on the second floor, he could directly look down at the bright lights at night.

Xu Junfang who just came up did not see the ballroom, but saw a bleak figure from the back on the small rooftop.

Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai, who was only 10 years old, put his arms on the guardrail, overlooking the empty darkness, giving people a feeling of sadness and vicissitudes.

Xu Junfang stepped on the last step on the second floor, Dai Mubai realized that there was someone behind him, turned around to take a look, then turned his head back to continue looking at the night sky.

Xu Junfang didn't let go of this time of talking alone with Dai Mubai, after all Xu Junfang traveled through time, and had a special feeling for Dai Mubai, an important supporting role in the original work.

"Your Highness the Third Prince doesn't go to the masked ball, why are you feeling melancholy on this rooftop?" Xu Junfang didn't approach any further, and asked at a distance from Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai slowly turned around when he heard Xu Junfang's question: "I remember you, are you from the Luo family?"

"Yes."

"Oh, Luo Family," Dai Mubai laughed self-deprecatingly, "Are you here to pity me? That's unnecessary."

The reason why Dai Mubai said this was because the Luo family was not too close to Davis, and he saw the pity look in Xu Junfang's eyes, which hurt him deeply.

If it was ridicule or suppression, Dai Mubai would follow suit, but this kind of pity in his eyes made Dai Mubai feel extremely ashamed.

"Not really, but your situation is indeed not good."

"You don't have to worry about it!" Dai Mubai gave Xu Junfang a look that didn't mean anything, and then he was about to turn around and leave. The only peace he could enjoy was broken.

"Your Highness, since there is no hope in your heart, why don't you indulge yourself?" Xu Junfang didn't mean to stop Dai Mubai, but he believed that Dai Mubai would want to hear what he said next.

Sure enough, Dai Mubai who was about to leave stopped, without turning his head: "What do you want to say?"

"What I mean is, since you can't compete, why don't you take advantage of your golden age to indulge and enjoy the life you want? In the first half of your life, it doesn't matter what happens in the second half of your life."

"If this life is spent in misery even when you can enjoy your own life, isn't this life too suffocating?" Xu Junfang's face was full of smiles, "You think so? Your Highness..."

"........."

Dai Mubai remained silent on the spot for a while, and left without looking back.

Xu Junfang looked at Dai Mubai's disappearing figure with a smile. He spent a lot of time at the dinner inquiring about the gossip and news among the nobles. What surprised him a little was that Dai Mubai was not nicknamed a playboy, nor did he miss him day and night. and inappropriate places.

This is somewhat different from what Xu Junfang knew about Dai Mubai, Xu Junfang reckoned that Dai Mubai hadn't completely lost hope for the future, hadn't fallen.

In this case, why not let him point out a clear path for Dai Mubai. If Dai Mubai fell earlier, he might not even go to Shrek.

Xu Junfang didn't believe in the butterfly effect. For example, if he really succeeded in instigating Dai Mubai to prevent him from becoming Shrek, he didn't believe that someone would pop up to replace Dai Mubai in Shrek.

Butterflies will indeed bring about some changes, but they cannot be unfounded and illogical changes.

Meeting Dai Mubai on the second floor was just a brief interlude. Xu Junfang began to wander around the entire second floor, killing time waiting for Luo Yixue.

................................................

The woods to the south of the Star Luo Royal Hotel.

The faint moonlight shines through the dry branches, leaving ferocious fangs on the dark soil. The thick shadows of the branches are like a big black net all over the forest, engulfing all the creatures that break into it.

tap!tap!tap!

There was the sound of disobedient horseshoes in the silent woods, and the broken dead leaves on the ground swayed chaotically with the vibration of the ground.

Snapped!

The black whip waved against the moonlight and lashed at the running horse.

The roaring carriage passed through the woods covered with dead leaves on the ground, and two horses with helmets attached to them pulled a black carriage through the forest.

David sat silently in the carriage, propped his face with his right fist, stared at the moon through the window of the carriage with blank eyes.

He was thinking, thinking about the conspiracy behind his extraordinary behavior at today's dinner.

The royal family is indeed cruel, even if he is not selected as a prince competing for the throne, his situation in the palace is still not very good.

Davis's suppression of him gradually transitioned to Dai Mubai, but this is also the saddest thing, after losing the qualification to compete for the throne, he didn't even have the right to speak in the palace.

Davis, who had been wary of him in the past, didn't bother to talk to him at this time.

The more David Qing thought about it, the more his anger surged up, and his nails sank deeply into the palm of his hand.

But even though he was so angry, he didn't have the urge to make a big fuss at the banquet at this time, he was always more rational.

And at the dinner just now, although he was sitting opposite Davis trying to suppress the dark fire in his chest, the flames of depression and anger seemed to be out of his control.

Then he lost his composure.

David Qing didn't have to doubt it, he knew that he must have been drugged, and he had been given drugs similar to urgency or veritaserum.

After he made a fuss, his brain gradually came to his senses, and he realized with horror that he had actually done such a thing at a noble banquet.

At the banquet, he pretended to be watching a play, but he was actually thinking and observing.

Think about who gave him the drug, and who will benefit from it; observe who casts his gaze at him frequently, and who will pay attention to his reaction at this time.

At first, he suspected that Davis did it. Davis has always liked to use dirty tricks. He thought this was another blow from Davis to him.

But he thought about it himself and felt that something was wrong. Davis is a very rational person. It is impossible for him to drug himself at the dinner party in order to suppress himself, let alone doing so would be detrimental to Davis himself.

He could feel that Davis' anger towards him at that time was real, not feigned, and Davis really didn't seem to know the truth.

Who else could have given the drug?

Third brother Dai Mubai?No, he is not such a person, and he has to rely on me, let alone do such a thing.

David Qing began to think about who he had made enemies with recently, or what would attract other people's attention.

Spirit Hall!

When David Qing thought of this at the banquet, he broke out in a cold sweat. He was indeed feared by Wuhun Palace because he had recently caught a Wuhun Palace spy hidden inside the palace by chance.

Originally, this spy was hiding very deep, but as fate would have it, he was interrupted by Davis while exchanging intelligence with Wuhundian's boss.

As soon as Wuhundian, who had been dealing with this secret agent, came online, David Qing caught the spy.

David Qing thought he had discovered a big secret. Wuhun Palace had spies inside the palace, which meant that Wuhun Palace might have bad plans and intentions against the Star Luo Empire. He had discovered a spy, but who knew in the dark? How many more spies are there?

He originally planned to torture this Wuhundian Anzi to extract confessions from Wuhundian's other spies in the Star Luo Empire, so that with such important information, he could reverse the decline in the face of Davis.

As a result, before the torture started, the spy of Wuhundian was very stubborn and committed suicide directly.

The clues were broken, and even the only evidence in his hand was gone. If David Qing insisted that he was a Wuhundian spy, no one would believe him. This spy was very clean, leaving no doubts that could be used.

In the end, David Qing just got a corpse and got into trouble.

At the dinner party, David Qing thought of this, and he began to panic. He didn't think that drugging him to make him make a fool of himself would benefit the people behind the scenes.

Although it is not completely certain that Wuhundian was the one who administered the medicine, Wuhundian does have a high probability.

David looked around for a long time, but there were quite a few people whose eyes fell on him, and they were all nobles who wanted to see why he lost his composure.

He didn't observe anything. He couldn't even guess who might have drugged him. David Qing didn't know what he ate or drank to be drugged. At the royal dinner, everyone had separate meals. Every dish and wine is suspect.

Faced with this situation, David Qing had no clue, sitting on pins and needles in his seat at the banquet.

David Qing was afraid that if he stayed here for a long time, some conspiracy would be blamed on him, so he left in a hurry as soon as the dinner was over.

Only by returning to his own palace and being guarded by many guards in the palace can he feel a little bit safe.

David Qing regained consciousness from his thoughts, staring blankly at the night scene speeding outside the carriage and the only motionless crescent moon.

Hurry up and go back to the palace, and don't have any accidents on the way, Davis secretly prayed.

The carriage drove another distance, and Davis frowned vigilantly.

He stuck his head out of the carriage bed, his whole body bathed in the moonlight.

when?When did all the sounds made by the soul beasts at night stop?

The crescent moon in the sky looked very peaceful, and the woods around the carriage were eerily quiet, and there was only the sound of the evening wind blowing the leaves when you savored it carefully.

David's heart trembled for no reason, what will happen in the middle of the night?

night, moon, woods,

really quiet...
