Douluo: After transforming into a soul beast, I will roll inward to save my life

Tiandou Auction House.

"Didn't Sect Master Ning lead the sect in retirement? Why is he back in Tiandou City?" Nan Li walked to Ning Fengzhi under the guidance of the waiter. There was no one behind her, so she didn't sit down. She stood still and asked Ning Fengzhi why he was here.

Luo Gu had reminded her long ago, and Nan Li knew what Ning Fengzhi was doing, but after not seeing him for a long time, she couldn't say it too clearly.

Although Nan Li doesn't like to flatter others, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand politics. It's just that because Dong Yun was around, she was too lazy to deal with others.

Nan Li also figured out on the way here that the only place where she could be exposed was in Tiandou City. She just bought a string of candied haws and stayed at a roadside vendor's stall for a while, and was reported to their master by the eyes in the city.

Nan Li had no enemies other than the Spirit Hall, so she naturally wouldn't be suspicious and live in fear all day. There were so many people on the commercial street, and if one of them looked at her twice and their gaze stayed for a short time, she wouldn't be noticed.

I just don’t know how many people are watching her behind these eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already graduated and no longer needs a teacher to teach him. Naturally, Fengzhi has to know what to do. But now Princess Xue Ke has reached age and it's time for her to learn some politics, so Emperor Xue Ye summoned me to the palace again." Ning Fengzhi pushed the matter to the Tiandou royal family in a few words without mentioning his own purpose.

"Master Ning, there's no need to explain it so clearly." Nan Li adjusted his headband, feeling a little uncomfortable with it.

Before leaving the Four Elements Academy, Danqing mentioned that it would be better to cover up the divine test mark, so Nanli took out a headband from her soul guide and put it on. You know, in the past, even if Dongyun gave her a set of accessories for each piece of clothing, she was too lazy to wear them, and just praised Dongyun for a long time, and then put the things away.

Emotional value is given, and things are not necessarily done as required.

Dong Yun was helpless.

Ning Fengzhi withdrew his gaze from the auction items in front of him and said to Nan Li, "Tiandou Royal Academy has sufficient teaching staff, and Princess Xue Ke is a woman, so it will be inconvenient. Fengzhi thinks it is better not to take this job. What do you think?"

Nan Li had already vaguely guessed what Ning Fengzhi wanted to say next. She didn't respond, but smiled without saying anything.

Ning Fengzhi said that it was inconvenient for him as a man, but wouldn't it be much more convenient for Nanli as a woman?

"You don't hide your edge and don't show your strength. Even I can't detect the fluctuation of your soul power. Your change is truly shocking." This time it was Sword Douluo Chen Xin who spoke.

In the past, he could not tell Nan Li's specific soul power level, but he could feel the fluctuation of soul power, thinking that the other party had some secret method. But now, he could not detect any soul power in Nan Li, and Chen Xin would not think that the person standing in front of him was an ordinary person with no soul power.

The genius of the last elite competition, the youngest soul king, gave the Four Elements Academy the qualifications and confidence to be allowed to settle in Tiandou City. In just four years, what unimaginable things happened to Nan Li?

Nan Li's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said, "Everyone in the world is struggling, and I just want to save my life."

"My friend, you are joking." Ning Fengzhi did not take this seriously. "You are about the same age as Rongrong, less than 20 years old, which is the best time of your life. Princess Xue Ke heard about your deeds and said she wanted to meet the champion of the elite competition. I wonder if my friend has time?"

The champion of the elite competition was obviously the Blazing Academy team, not Nan Li alone. This was not about whether he had time or not, it was clearly about asking Nan Li if he was willing to enter the palace to be the princess's teacher.

Luo Gu and Zhu Zhulang, two crazy people, had both gone in. What else could Nan Li do? He couldn't just watch them kill themselves. Nan Li patted the beast on the head, reminding Hong Yun to stand firm, and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Let's go."

***

Tiandou Palace.

Ning Fengzhi did not follow him into the palace. Nan Li met Emperor Xue Ye under the guidance of a special person, not in the majestic palace, but in Xue Ke's residence.

After taking off his court robes, Emperor Xue Ye looked more like an elderly father, paving the way for his daughter step by step. He did not say any polite words to Nan Li, but only said that Xue Ke needed a teacher, and did not even say what Nan Li needed to be taught.

Emperor Xue Ye only asked Nan Li two questions. The first was Nan Li's actual cultivation level, and the second was what kind of power could wipe out all traces of the Haotian Sect.

When nine soul rings with extremely strong impact, four black, four red and one blue and gold, appeared in front of everyone, there was no need to explain Nan Li's soul power.

As for the second question, Nan Li smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you already have the answer in your mind?"

Xue Ye's face gradually darkened.

"Your Majesty, I also have a question. Who recommended me to enter the palace?" Nan Li was more straightforward than Dong Yun. What's more, she was not afraid of the imperial power in this world at all.

"It's Sect Master Ning."

It was really Ning Fengzhi, the old fox was very bad. Nan Li could understand after a little thought that Ning Fengzhi recommended her in order to get herself out of trouble and avoid a direct conflict with the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and the Spirit Hall. The reason why Emperor Xue Ye accepted her advice was simply because he saw her potential and the Four Elements Academy behind her.

After all, Nan Li is a soul master who graduated from Blazing Fire Academy. In the last elite competition, the Blazing Fire Academy team members showed their preference and care for her. Letting Nan Li be the princess's teacher is also a gesture of goodwill to the Four Elements Academy. As long as Emperor Xue Ye gives the Four Elements Academy some support and honorary awards in the future, wouldn't the relationship be established?

Now that he had seen Nanli in person, the potential that Emperor Xue Ye had seen had turned into astounding strength, which was undoubtedly another surprise.

Hong Yun stretched himself and turned to look at Nan Li's expression. He saw Nan Li's undisguised smirk, which gave him a feeling of "ill-intentioned", "cunning", and "sly and treacherous". For no reason, Hong Yun was secretly a little excited. What bad things were he going to do? What was so fun about it?

"Your Majesty, in fact, the destruction of the Haotian Sect is not a bad thing." Nan Li curled his lips, looking like Dong Yun setting a trap for someone.

Emperor Xue Ye perked up and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Haotian Sect is the leader of the seven major sects, but it has always been an independent force, not subject to the control of the empire. The existence of this sect does not have much practical effect on the Tiandou Empire. It only serves to stabilize the people's hearts in name. At least this has been the case for the past few decades that the Haotian Sect has retreated."

"The Tiandou Empire has divided into several kingdoms and principalities, which govern large tracts of land within the empire, and the imperial power has been weakened. Now that the Haotian Sect has been destroyed, Your Majesty can use this incident to consolidate the imperial power and enhance the authority of the Tiandou Empire. 'All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects'. In Tiandou, the authority of the empire should be the only one. For an existence like the Haotian Sect that relies on its own strength and is not under the control of the empire, why should Your Majesty feel sorry for it?"

If Tiandou and Wuhun Hall go to war, the Haotian Sect might come to help. But if it is a conflict between the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, the Haotian Sect will most likely not provide any substantial help.

Emperor Xue Ye was thoughtful. "That does make sense. According to you, what measures should the empire take next to consolidate Tian Dou's authority?"

Nan Li only said two words: "Be crowned king."

Since Tiandou has so many princes and nobles, it is not difficult to confer two more titles.

The topic jumped too quickly, and Xue Ye couldn't keep up with Nan Li's train of thought for a moment. She asked with a little confusion: "A crown king? Who?"

"Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen."

The leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect.

After the fall of Haotian Sect, who will be the next? At this time, facing the imperial decree of the Tiandou Empire, the two sects can only accept it. If they refuse, even if the Tiandou Empire does not do anything to them, the two sects cannot continue to stay at the foot of the imperial city. At this time, whether the Xingluo Empire will accept the relocation of the sect is still uncertain, and whether they can reach their destination alive is even more unknown.

Among the three forces on the continent, Tiandou is the weakest, but compared with the sects, the empire is a behemoth. It would be good for both sides to be sensible and submit to Tiandou.

Emperor Xue Ye obviously thought of this as well. His eyes gradually became deep and sharp, transforming from a father to a king.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Xue Ye nodded, agreeing with Nan Li's idea, "Nan Li, I remember that you are already a Viscount of the Empire. In this case, I will confer you the title of..."

"Your Majesty, the title of prince is of no use to me, so don't bother me." Nan Li didn't care about these empty titles. She didn't plan to stay in Tiandou forever. When things were over, she would still go back to Sun Island.

"Your Majesty, if you confer a title on me at this time, wouldn't that make me a target for all parties? I will stay with the princess from now on, so it's better not to expose myself."

Emperor Xue Ye did not care about Nan Li's decisive and rude refusal. He thought about it secretly, felt that it made sense, and agreed.

……

Princess Xue Ke is one year younger than Nan Li and is only seventeen this year.

The first time Nan Li saw her, she saw two contradictory attitudes from this princess: arrogance and humility. The former was due to her status as a princess, and the latter was probably due to her awe for the Titled Douluo.

Xue Ke is a bit like Xue Qinghe, trying hard to make herself look gentle and approachable, but she has never seen the cruelty of reality, lacks some experience and connotation, and cannot disguise herself as perfectly as Xue Qinghe or Qian Renxue.

Nan Li was not arrogant, and Xue Ke gradually changed her address to "Sister A Li" from "Teacher", and their words were more intimate. "Zhu Lang said that Sister A Li is very powerful."

Zhu Zhulang is now Xue Ke's chief personal bodyguard and is inseparable from her.

Hearing Zhu Zhulang actually praising him, Nan Li said, "It's really rare."

Zhu Zhulang stood aside with his arms folded. He looked calm, but his eyes were sharp. The closer he got, the more fierce he looked. She said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Master's daughter, of course she is powerful. She must be powerful."
