Douluo: I am the true master

Chapter 772: Apprenticeship Banquet Part
On the day when the news of the apprenticeship banquet came, Emperor Xue Ye solemnly summoned Princess Xue Ke.

Princess Xue Ke, who is about the same age as Xue Beng, has two older brothers who are still around, so the issue of succession to the throne will never fall on her shoulders. So she usually receives etiquette instruction in Yue Xuan. The image of a princess who is portrayed as spoiled and arrogant in some vulgar works does not appear on her, and she looks graceful and elegant.

"Father, what is the matter that you want to see me about?" Xue Ke asked innocently.

Due to health reasons, Xue Ke hasn't seen Emperor Xue Ye for a long time. It's a rare opportunity to meet him today, so Xue Ke is quite happy.

Looking at the youngest child, Xue Ye's eyes were dazed for a moment, but soon became firm again.

"Xue Ke, I called you here today because I have something very important to tell you."

Xue Ke, who was originally thinking about how to find some topics to talk about with Xue Ye, suddenly froze. The heavy atmosphere made her think of bad things.

Xue Ke said nervously, her tender and fair little hands were tangled together.

"Father, please speak."

"Xue Ke, your father has chosen a good son-in-law for you. As long as you can marry him, you will definitely be happy in the future."

Xue Ke's face turned pale when she heard that. She was only a girl of eleven or twelve years old. She shouldn't be in a hurry to get married like ordinary children.

Although she had long heard from some of her aristocratic classmates that the nobles were ruthless, Xue Ke had always been doted on by Xue Ye. Even Xue Qinghe, who was disguised as Qian Renxue, was very fond of her, which made Xue Ke never feel a sense of crisis in this regard.

But things have come to this point. Although Xue Ke wanted to refute, looking at the eyes of Emperor Xue Ye that were not as gentle as usual, Xue Ke was ultimately cowardly and listened quietly.

"This man's name is Ye Wen. He is the founding disciple of Poison Douluo, who will be holding a disciple-apprentice banquet in a while. You will meet him at the disciple-apprentice banquet in a while.

Because of Poison Douluo's special status, I cannot directly arrange the marriage of his disciples, so Xue Ke, you should try to get close to Ye Wen on that day and make him feel good about you, and then I will find a chance for you two to get engaged."

Looking at Xue Ke, who looked so broken, Emperor Xue Ye finally sighed with a soft heart.

“If it really doesn’t work, you can take your time. The little guy is the same age as you, and father has investigated his character and personality for you.

This person is gentle and elegant by nature and does not like fighting. Although he is not a nobleman, he has a noble demeanor.

As for his character, Xue Ke, you don't have to worry. He is a man of loyalty and righteousness. As long as you are truly accepted by him, he will never leave you."

Xue Ke didn't hear anything Emperor Xue Ye said.

Although Xue Ke is still just a girl, many of her classmates have already made marriage arrangements and complain to her about them, saying in advance that their partners will be this and that, but once they get married, they will find that they are completely different things.

What’s more important is that Xue Ke was overwhelmed by the feeling of powerlessness that she could not resist, and she was in a daze.

Looking at the dazed Xue Ke, Emperor Xue Ye felt a little heartbroken but still spoke majestically.

"That's quite clear, Xue Ke!"

At this time, Xue Ke woke up from her dream and nodded woodenly. "I understand, Father. I will work hard."

Xue Ke pursed her lips again, lowered her head and said, "If everything is alright, Father, I will go down first."

Emperor Xue Ye nodded slightly, "Well, go ahead, go back and prepare well, don't lose face for our Xue family."

Xue Ke finally left in a daze. She didn't know how she returned to her residence. But looking at the originally warm pink bedroom, it was now lonely and cold. Finally, Xue Ke collapsed weakly on the soft bed, covered her face and began to cry bitterly.

There are many similar situations. In such a barbaric era, even the nobles want to get as close to the strong as possible, and marriage is the only best way their small brains can think of.

The apprenticeship banquet arrived as scheduled.

But there was a small incident during this period.

As if it was fate, at this time, Shrek and his crew went through a series of trials such as seeing blood and finally arrived at Tiandou Royal Academy.

Entering the forest outside Tiandou Royal Academy, looking at this beautiful environment, Flanders listened to the constant praise from the teachers beside him, and muttered unconvincedly, what's so great about a big place, have they cultivated any strong people? It's not as good as our Shrek Academy, although we are small, but there are many monsters.

But Flanders forgot one thing. Even the most outstanding graduate of Shrek is only Soul Emperor now. The real strong ones of Shrek are still those guys who can only reach Soul Sage at best. Now they are not even a little bit inferior to Tiandou Royal Academy.

As for Flanders' lie that one of the graduates had become an elder of the Spirit Hall, only common people who had not seen the world would believe that.

Xue·Disguise·Real Person·Scum·Beng was feeling depressed at this time because Xue Qinghe had gained another powerful ally, and felt that the lofty throne was getting further and further away from him.

But because Ye Wen is Dugu Bo's apprentice, and Xue Beng's big brother at the moment, Prince Xue Xing, is very close to Dugu Bo, Xue Beng has to attend the dinner tonight. This feeling of being unfree makes him even more depressed.

At this moment, the scoundrel Xue Beng and his group of useless followers saw the Shrek people who were dressed in rags and didn't even have the time to spend some money to tidy up their appearance before visiting.

"Stop, who are you? Don't you know that this is not a place where beggars can just come in?" Xue Beng said maliciously.

Flanders frowned and looked at the Tiandou students who were dressed in luxurious clothes. The humility in his bones did not make him angry directly, but he whispered.

"We are from Shrek Academy, not beggars. We are here to exchange ideas at the invitation of your Tiandou Royal Academy. Could you please take us to visit the Education Committee?"

Xue Beng's face suddenly darkened. Even his useless followers knew that the three education committee members were the prince's men, and the prince had always been at odds with Xue Beng.

Then Xue Beng narrowed his eyes. Although he couldn't see Flanders's cultivation level, he actually dared to come to the Education Committee to communicate. He must be very capable. When he thought that his big brother had so many more helpers, Xue Beng became even more unhappy and spoke sarcastically.

"Exchange? Look at how unsophisticated you are. You are so dirty, you are no different from beggars. Do you think you are worthy of communicating with our college?

Get out of here now! Otherwise, don't blame us for using force!"

At this moment, except for the fool, everyone in Shrek could see that Avalanche had ill intentions.
