Douluo: Interpretation of Sky Dark Star shocked Qian Renxue!

Chapter 18 Don’t worry, I’m here with you [3K big chapter, please give me a monthly pass for reading recommendation]

The old man raised his head, his cloudy eyes reflected Gongsun Xuanyuan's appearance, and he slowly spoke:
"Three years ago, many people spread rumors that no matter who they were, they would disappear as long as they passed by Prince Bernard."

"At first, everyone said that it was those people who spread rumors and wanted to earn some gimmicks. After all, Prince Bernard is not only a seventy-three-level soul saint, but also has impeccable moral character. Everyone said that he has a kind heart."

"But later, it was not only rumored that people were missing outside the prince's palace, but also many people were missing inside the palace, and this made everyone understand that the previous missing persons were probably not groundless."

"Because, we have seen with our own eyes that every once in a while, the Royal Palace will send people out to recruit young girls to work."

"To this day, they have recruited a total of thirty times, with a total of twenty people each time."

"No one knows how a prince's palace needs so many people to serve, and they don't know... why no one has seen the girls who entered before."

"Since then, rumors of cannibalism in the Royal Palace have completely spread throughout the Tiandou Empire."

"I didn't believe it at first, until that day when tragedy happened."

Speaking of what happened in the past, the old man's voice began to tremble: "Sir, if you don't mind, can I tell you a story?"

Gongsun Xuanyuan did not say anything, but nodded, indicating that the other party was free to do so.

The old man's eyes were red and his voice was broken: "Once upon a time, there was a girl who got encephalitis when she was only eight years old."

"Today, curing this disease requires at least hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. His parents died early, and he only lives with his grandfather."

"His grandfather has no ability. He tried his best and could only scrape together 10,000 gold soul coins..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gongsun Xuanyuan frowned slightly.

The old man didn't notice the fluctuations in Gongsun Xuanyuan's expression. His eyes were even more miserable, and his voice gradually contained a cry, and his heart felt like a knife:
"Thanks to the grandfather's hard work from dawn to dusk, the granddaughter finally lived to be thirteen years old, but by this time, her grandfather had no money to continue her treatment."

"Once the treatment drugs are stopped, it is equivalent to pronouncing the granddaughter's death. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the ancestors."

"His granddaughter seemed to understand grandpa's difficulties. She didn't say anything at first, but then she secretly left alone."

"On the night before that day, the grandpa clearly saw the way my granddaughter pretended to be happy and reluctant to give up."

"At that moment, his heart was like a knife being cut, and he couldn't say a word!"

"But he didn't know that this was the last time he saw his granddaughter, because now he can't find his granddaughter at all!"

After saying the last sentence, the old man's tears suddenly burst out of his eyes:

"Because his granddaughter just disappeared from the world. Even though the grandfather searched the entire imperial city, he still couldn't find her!"

Gongsun Xuanyuan listened quietly, but his eyes stirred up ripples.

What a coincidence...

He secretly thought in his heart that the girl also disappeared, and everything that happened here was no different from what he had seen in the Qiankun Sect before.

Vaguely, Gongsun Xuanyuan felt that this matter was not that simple.

Because this is not the Qiankun Sect where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

If that place was a place where even if bandits and bandits took over the mountain and became kings, Emperor Xueye might not know about it, let alone manage it.

This place is at the feet of the emperor, the residence of the emperor, and the place where hundreds of officials, nobles, and royal families are all looking at it.

To take a step back, someone is missing here, even if the officials and nobles don't know about it.

But, would Emperor Xueye know?

Gongsun Xuanyuan felt that this possibility was very small.

Emperor Xueye is still a majestic emperor no matter what. Not to mention being the supreme being in charge of the Tiandou Empire, he is also a Contra himself!

If he didn't know what was happening under his nose, he might as well not call him Emperor Xueye, but change his name to Eyeless White Goose.

But if the other party knows about it, they do nothing.

Then the person involved behind this is probably not just a prince...

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with horrifying murderous intent, and his emotions fluctuated for a while before returning to normal.

So what if he's not a prince?

It's nothing more than the difference of killing one more person.

To him, it's pretty much the same...

After thinking this, Gongsun Xuanyuan did not say anything to disturb the old man's mind, because he knew that the old man in front of him had not finished speaking.

【…】

Emotions of guilt, self-blame, and pain surged out, and the old man's voice gradually weakened:

"That grandpa searched for a long, long time. Finally, I learned from someone that he had seen a lonely girl entering the palace of Prince Bernard."

"But how can a commoner girl be taken seriously by the prince when she disappears? What's more, the prince has done good things, but has been criticized by the whole city."

"He invited that grandfather out and closed the door from then on. No matter who it was, even the prince would not open it."

"That's the end of the clues... But that grandfather was unwilling to accept it, so he joined the mercenaries, doing the hardest and most tiring work with the cheapest money, in order to one day be able to impress the king with money."

"But I waited and waited. That grandfather's head turned white, but he still didn't receive a letter. He didn't even hear a verbal message promising to search..."

[...] After telling the story, the old man had already burst into tears. At this moment, he no longer looked as cold as before. He pillowed his head with his hands, covered his face and cried softly.

Gongsun Xuanyuan lowered his eyes, and his voice stirred up some emotions.

"I have been looking for him for three years. Everyone in the Imperial City should know about it."

"Even if the king doesn't take action, other princes, princes, and even Emperor Tiandou should come forward."

"Why did something that happened three years ago drag on to today?"

The old man still cried softly and raised his head when he heard the words.

Only then did Gongsun Xuanyuan realize that the old man's mental state had become crazy and decadent in this short period of time. The same appearance, according to his eyes now, had deteriorated by more than a few years compared to before!

The old man smiled bitterly and said lonelyly: "That man is just a commoner. He has not even arrived as a great soul master. How can he make this noble person look down on him?"

"Three years have passed. A tragedy like that for that man is not the first thing to happen in this imperial city."

"Countless people know it, but who wants to cause trouble?"

Gongsun Xuanyuan was silent.

Indeed, sometimes whether something is important or not depends on the person.

If the missing person was a princess or a prince, would the Tiandou Empire always be so peaceful?

That must be impossible.

The reason why the old man's daughter disappeared without anyone taking care of her was not because he was at fault, but because no one wanted to take care of her.

After all, there is no benefit to this matter. On the contrary, it is easy to make a prince unhappy, but everyone knows what to get.

【…】

Looking at the lonely old man in front of him, Gongsun Xuanyuan could clearly sense the death intention in the other man's heart and sighed slightly in his heart.

Old age, loss of sons and daughters, now even the only hope has disappeared, but no one cares.

Who can bear such a desperate situation?

The other party should obviously have a healthy family, but because of some beasts, the family is separated and even has no peace in his old age.

Whose fault is this?
Is it the old man's fault? Or is it the fault of being a commoner and of low blood?
No! neither!
This is the fault of the times!

The noble didn't care about the well-being of the people, and even trampled on their dignity wantonly.

Enjoy your position but don't know how to pay for it. Just rely on your unfounded bloodline and expect the people to live and work in peace and contentment?
How ridiculous!

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xuanyuan's eyes were filled with a cold light.

Blood theory? This is completely contrary to the theory in his body!
Of course, he respects bloodline very much, but that is based on the merits of his ancestors, and he is not honored.

And the Tiandou nobles here are all feudal princes who rely on the merits of their ancestors, act recklessly, and have unworthy morals!

This was also the reason why he wanted to eliminate the Tiandou Empire before.

Because Tiandou is completely broken.

He can no longer sit back and watch these nobles cause harm to them for thousands of years without doing anything!
Now, things here are challenging his bottom line!

Then, he looked at the old man in front of him, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared. He was also a miserable man, a tragedy created by the times.

With a sigh, Gongsun Xuanyuan said: "Can the old gentleman still walk around? Do you want to go to see the palace with me?"

Hearing this, the old man looked at his hands with cloudy eyes and murmured: "Sir, I can still walk."

"Before I die, I naturally want to go to the palace to see with my own eyes whether my lovely granddaughter is still alive..."

"Even if she is captured by that prince, as long as she lives, I will be willing to die."

"But there is a soul saint in the palace, and he does not allow me to enter. I have tried many times, but I have never been able to enter..."

【…】

"Ha ha……"

Gongsun Xuanyuan just smiled, and his smile was extremely cold.

But facing the old man in front of him, the indifference in his laughter was gone, replaced by the gentlest kindness in the world.

He stretched out his hand, his voice calm and full of confidence.

"As long as the old gentleman can move around."

"You can go to the palace with peace of mind to look for your granddaughter."

"The rest is with me."

　I’m really sorry that I dare not publish it until now, but the book is confirmed to have 50,000 words before it will be released on the shelves! ! !
　　But it’s okay, I originally wanted to put 50,000 words on the shelves.

　　After all, the plot still needs to be transitioned in the middle. If it is just to speed up the production, it will not be beautiful.

　　Fifty thousand is on the shelves, which can also make the original impatient plot more reasonable.
