Notting Arena.
This Grand Soul Arena, jointly funded by Notting City and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, is of a higher level than the Divine Wind Grand Soul Arena.
The entire building is 150 meters high and is divided into one main arena and 36 sub-arenas, which can accommodate 70,000 spectators at the same time. There are also as many as 150 VIP boxes.
From the very beginning, it was built to the level of a royal city, only one level below the capital.
"So this is what it looks like inside."
Walking along the long, narrow VIP passageway covered with a red carpet, Ning Rongrong looked around curiously.
There are many empty picture frames on the wall, most of which do not contain any portraits, and only a few contain portraits of people.
Among them, Ning Rongrong saw Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, whom she had visited yesterday, as well as Lord Xiao of Notting City.
“These are portraits of celebrities. As long as someone is famous enough, they have a chance to be hung here.”
Xiao Chenyu smiled and looked at Chen Xin beside him:
"The place Rongrong mentioned yesterday is Douluo Square, where there are stone figures of contemporary or former titled Douluo. If Grandpa Jian would like, I will hang your portrait there as well."
"No need, it's too flashy." Chen Xin shook his head.
He understood what Xiao Chenyu meant. Yesterday was a public place, and people would only have worship and admiration for the high and mighty Title Douluo.
Today, this place is a stage for fame and fortune. Behind every portrait of a celebrity lies the profound heritage of this great arena.
After thinking for a moment, he didn't want to be too definitive, so he said:
"Compared to me, Old Bone prefers the atmosphere of the Great Soul Arena. You can ask him for a ticket then."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also has a part in this Great Soul Arena, so it wouldn't be right not to have their name on it.
"You're still making excuses and passing the buck. If it were me, I would have hung myself up long ago."
Ning Rongrong, unable to bear the two of them blaming each other, pouted and interjected.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenyu and Chen Xin laughed at the same time.
“Rongrong, if you want, I’ll have someone hang your portrait up tomorrow with the words ‘Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’ on it,” Xiao Chenyu said.
"Hehe, let me think about it."
Ning Rongrong laughed a few times, but instead of giving a definite answer, she cheerfully quickened her pace.
She's not really stupid; if Sword Douluo and Xiao Chenyu are both so quick to shirk responsibility, how could it possibly fall on her shoulders?
If he actually hangs up the portrait, he'll probably get a lecture from his father when he gets back.
Xiao Chenyu didn't mind, smiled and shook his head, and followed Ning Rongrong.
A few minutes later, the group arrived at a spacious room with a wide view.
Compared to the conventional decor of the Kamikaze Grand Arena, this place features extremely comfortable modern home furnishings, striving to provide VIPs with the ultimate experience.
Since it was the first day of business, Xiao Chenyu did not arrange any services. The only person in the room was Xue Qinghe, who had arrived early.
The Grand Soul Arena is nominally a product of discussions between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Crown Prince's Mansion, and Xue Qinghe, as one of the main characters, naturally has to be present today.
However, Xue Qinghe, played by Qian Renxue, still appeared aloof. She simply nodded to the group of people who entered, then sat cross-legged and began meditating.
"The Crown Prince is still obsessed with cultivation."
Seeing that Xue Qinghe needed to meditate even in such an environment, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh.
The room was large, and so as not to disturb Xue Qinghe, they deliberately sat on the other side. In addition, Chen Xin's voice was very soft, so they weren't worried that Xue Qinghe would hear them.
Of course, it wouldn't matter if she heard such words. And with Qian Renxue's hearing, she would just pretend she didn't hear them.
After all, she performs like this for the audience.
Otherwise, all her hard work in impersonating Xue Qinghe would be meaningless.
“Yes, the Crown Prince is almost always engrossed in cultivation. This was especially true after he learned of the Third Prince’s death. He even lamented that his own strength was insufficient and that he might die at any time.” Xiao Chenyu said with a wry smile.
"The matter of the Third Prince...sigh..."
Chen Xin originally intended to talk about the Third Prince, but suddenly realized that the person in front of her was also a member of the Crown Prince's faction, so in the end she could only sigh.
"There's no need to hold back. The Third Prince died at the hands of others, and we should thank Sect Master Ning for informing us of this."
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
Xiao Chenyu's words were not wrong. For some unknown reason, after Chenxin and the others set off, Ning Fengzhi sent a letter to Notting City. In addition to announcing the arrival of Chenxin and the others, the letter also mentioned the matter of the Third Prince.
Although Xiao Chenyu didn't know why the other party brought up the Third Prince, they had done this so perfectly that they weren't afraid of any problems.
The intelligence was gathered by Consort Lan, the mole was planted by Consort Lan's family, and the person who did the job was sent by the Spirit Hall. It had nothing to do with Xiao Chenyu and Xue Qinghe.
Tong Chenxin briefly explained Ning Fengzhi's letter, and Xiao Chenyu then said:
“My opinion is the same as Sect Leader Ning’s. The person who can do this is either the Spirit Hall or the Star Luo Empire. But I think the Spirit Hall is more likely.”
While they were talking, they deliberately sent Ning Rongrong away and had A Yin show her around.
It's alright if Ning Rongrong knows some things, but it's better for her not to know things that concern the royal family; it's a way to protect her.
"The Spirit Hall... It seems you already have an idea?" Chen Xin frowned.
Xiao Chenyu is a key contributor to Notting City's development to its current state. The fact that he built Notting City to this extent in just a few years is enough to prove his ability.
Xiao Chenyu nodded and said seriously:
"Because of this, the Spirit Hall benefits the most."
"How so?" Chen Xin asked, intrigued.
“The family behind the Third Prince is a military noble family of the Heaven Dou Empire. Most of them are high-level Soul Master families and they are more inclined to go to war with the Star Luo Empire,” Xiao Chenyu said.
"I see," Chen Xin said, suddenly understanding.
Xiao Chenyu's words were simple and direct, but they also directly ruled out the Star Luo Empire as a suspect.
The Star Luo Empire also tends to wage war on both sides, but the Spirit Hall may intervene at any time without a reason.
In addition, the Heavenly Dou royal family did not want to start a war, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan mediated between them, which allowed the two empires to remain outwardly safe and sound.
If the Star Luo Empire were to take action, it would target the Second Prince, who is supported by civil officials.
The ascension of a prince who favored fighting on both sides was a great boon to the Star Luo Empire, at least they had no motive to secretly kill him.
"Why would the Spirit Hall do this?" Chen Xin asked a new question.
He and Ning Fengzhi had discussed the reasons why the Spirit Hall did this, and they basically identified several possibilities.
The reason for asking Xiao Chenyu this time was to see if he had any new ideas, or if a certain possibility could be ruled out.
Upon hearing this question, Xiao Chenyu chuckled inwardly, but maintained a serious demeanor on the surface:
"If I were a member of the Spirit Hall, I would support a prince."
