“Whether the Heavenly Dou royal family sends someone or not, it means they don’t know that things have been exposed,” Xiao Chenyu said confidently.
"What does this mean? Then why are we asking them for our people back?"
Upon hearing this, the Porcupine Douluo's face was filled with confusion.
He is old, but he spends most of his time cultivating and fighting.
In terms of controlling the battle situation, it's no exaggeration to say that, disregarding strength, he alone is worth a hundred Xiao Chenyus.
But the strategies and intricacies behind this are not his forte.
With the backing of the Spirit Hall, there are people specifically in charge of this aspect.
Xiao Chenyu smiled slightly and said naturally:
"If Uncle Pig were Emperor Xueye, and knew that there were people from the Spirit Hall around the Crown Prince, and that they were far away in Notting City and couldn't do anything about it, what would Uncle Pig do?"
"Of course, we should send someone back immediately!"
Uncle Pig finished speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
Xue Qinghe is Xue Ye's own son; there's absolutely no reason for him to be a lamb to the slaughter.
If it were him, even if he couldn't sever Xue Qinghe's cooperation with the Spirit Hall, he would definitely keep him under his nose, at least making the matter controllable.
If the Crown Prince were to remain in Notting City, which is far from Tiandou City, who knows what he would become in the future?
“If Emperor Xueye doesn’t know, then the question facing him is whether to send someone or not, and it will definitely not be to recall Xue Qinghe. At most, he will just ask Xue Qinghe to take more people with him when he goes out,” Xiao Chenyu said.
This is a normal question; there's no reason to send someone back to their hometown just because they've been attacked.
Doesn't this make the Heaven Dou royal family seem incompetent, only able to cower in Heaven Dou City to protect themselves?
Only when faced with a major problem that cannot be solved will there be a situation where returning to Tiandou City is inevitable.
"Understood."
The Porcupine Douluo grinned, his opinion of Xiao Chenyu rising even higher.
With Qian Renxue and Xiao Chenyu as the duo, he couldn't even imagine what the Spirit Hall would be like 30 years from now.
After the morning chat ended, the Soul Emperor surnamed Li disappeared from the group ahead of time, obviously having been assigned to handle today's matters.
As expected, the others followed suit: the Porcupine Douluo drove the fake prince's carriage, Xiao Chenyu drove the carriage for Qian Renxue, and finally, Ye Qingqin's carriage.
Although Xiao Chenyu had no experience driving a carriage, fortunately his carriage was in the middle and the horses were very docile, so he didn't have to worry too much.
The group traveled at a leisurely pace, and after a few days they finally returned to the area of Nottingham.
As soon as you enter the city of Nottingham, the city's vibrant colors replace the natural hues of the past. Houses with red roofs and gray tiles stand in rows, their chimneys billowing overhead. Vendors hawk their wares with great enthusiasm, and the laughter of children chasing and playing can be heard from time to time in the streets and alleys.
As Xiao Chenyu drove by, laborers carrying timber or stones would always pass by, their sweat dripping down their necks and soaking their coarse cloth vests.
His gaze lingered briefly on the materials carried by the laborers, then shifted to the distance, where the entire area around Nottingham was filled with the same dusty, bustling construction scene.
It wasn't until they were near Notting City that the Soul Emperor surnamed Li returned to the group and whispered something to the Porcupine Douluo.
Less than five minutes later, the Soul Emperor surnamed Li took over driving the fake prince's carriage, and the Porcupine Douluo floated to Xiao Chenyu's side:
"It has been confirmed that the Black Mountain Wolf Bandits are backed by the Star Luo Empire. The Soul Saint is named Dai Moheng, and his Martial Soul is the Black Cloud Evil Tiger, a variant of the White Tiger Martial Soul."
"It's directly under the Star Luo Royal Family, that's quite a generous move."
Xiao Chenyu remembered this grudge.
He can't do anything to the Star Luo Empire now, but we'll see how things go in the future.
"What about the Heaven Dou royal family?"
"Put the Star Luo Empire aside for now," Xiao Chenyu pressed for details.
"There was no response. Emperor Xueye showed no intention of sending more men; he merely deployed troops to conduct a cleanup operation near the location of our attack," said Porcupine Douluo.
"That does fit Emperor Xueye's personality, and it also shows that Xiaoxue's status in his heart has plummeted." Xiao Chenyu chuckled.
"That's a good thing."
The Porcupine Douluo seemed indifferent; compared to the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince, he valued Qian Renxue and Xiao Chenyu's cultivation talents more.
Xiao Chenyu agreed with him: "It is indeed a good thing. Let's keep everything normal for now. We should also think about taking a break in Notting City for a while."
As the two were talking, the carriage clattered into Nottingham City.
"Come out and take a look."
Xiao Chenyu glanced at the wooden frame of the carriage and smiled as he called out to the person opposite him.
A commotion erupted inside the carriage, and the curtain was lifted slightly, revealing Qian Renxue's face, which was filled with curiosity.
She stared intently at the street scene outside, her mouth slightly agape as she exclaimed in surprise:
"It's only been a little over a month since I came back, but the changes are so huge."
Watching a city grow from small to large filled her with immense satisfaction.
The changes in this city, in particular, all stemmed from the boy beside her, who was also the person she admired most.
Thinking this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Qian Renxue's fair and delicate face.
"The basic structure of the inner city is almost complete. With the participation of Soul Masters, the construction speed is very fast," Xiao Chenyu said to her.
In recent days, a large number of outside Soul Masters have arrived in Notting City. These Soul Masters did not come alone; most of them brought their families.
In just over half a year, the population of Nottingham City has at least doubled, and the quality of the new residents is extremely high.
In terms of expenses, the daily consumption of building materials and labor in the City Lord's Mansion is an astronomical figure.
Fortunately, the presence of people stimulates consumption. The Xiao family controls almost all the food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation in Nottingham City, and the funds they have collected have made up for the previous shortfall.
