Chapter 13 Dai Yutian: You probably don't want Zhu Zhuqing to die or be heartbroken, right? (Please continue reading!)

Dai Yichen asked directly, "Father, why did you call me here so early today?"

Dai Yutian said calmly, "I called you here today not only to inform you that you will be enrolling at the Star Luo Royal Academy in half a month, but also for another matter."

After Dai Yutian finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Ming beside him.

Zhu Ming smiled, walked up to Dai Yichen, and squatted down: "Yichen, let me ask you, what do you think of Zhu Qing?"

Dai Yichen was completely confused, but after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Zhu Qing is great, she's very cute, and we get along well."

Zhu Ming nodded in satisfaction and said, "But do you know that according to the original plan, after Zhu Qing awakened the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, she was to be given priority to marry the Third Prince Dai Mubai? Originally, His Majesty was thinking that as long as you awakened the White Tiger Martial Soul and your talent was better than the Third Prince's, he would change his mind because of your good relationship. However..."

Dai Yichen: Tsk, I get it. These two came so early just to get the CPU?

He had seen too much of this when he first entered society in his previous life!

Dai Yichen remained calm and composed, saying, "Uncle Zhu, and Father Emperor, please stop beating around the bush. I prefer to be direct."

Immediately, Dai Yichen looked at Dai Yutian and said, "Father, you said in the main hall yesterday that you would not betroth Zhuqing to Third Brother. Your word is law."

Zhu Ming: Goodness, you're not playing by the rules. Shouldn't you be nervously asking questions under normal circumstances?

Dai Yutian:

Originally, they planned for Dai Yutian to play the good cop and he to play the bad cop, which should have given them a firm grip on the situation, but their plan was completely disrupted.

Dai Yutian glanced at Zhu Ming before turning to his fourth son, Yichen: "Yichen, what are your thoughts on the rules of competition within the royal family passed down from our ancestors?"

For some reason, Dai Yutian suddenly wanted to hear what his youngest son had to say.

Zhu Ming stood to the side, feeling extremely nervous. He hoped that Dai Yichen could bring more humanity to the competition within the Star Luo royal family.

Throughout history, the Zhu family has always been tied to the Dai family. The women of the Zhu family were the weaker party. Even if they succeeded in the competition, they would only become empresses in the end, and the benefits they received were not as great as those of emperors.

Moreover, he has three daughters in this generation, which means two of them will die. Each one is precious to him, and he doesn't want to...

It wasn't that he wanted to see his daughter die so he kept having more children; the main reason was that there wasn't a male heir in their lineage to inherit the future title.

But to his surprise, all three were women, which almost drove him to a breakdown.

Yesterday, when Dai Yutian privately discussed this matter with him, he was incredibly excited!

Faced with Dai Yutian's question, Dai Yichen appeared to be pondering, but in his heart he was trying to guess what Dai Yutian was thinking.

A few minutes later, Dai Yichen said, "Father, the reason why our Star Luo Empire has such a strong national power today, and why the royal family can crush the Heaven Dou royal family, is all thanks to the competition rules passed down from our ancestors."

Dai Yichen first put it in a positive light, and then said, "However, in my opinion, these competition rules lack humanity and are not fair to us princes who started cultivating late."

Father, look at this! My eldest brother started cultivating so many years earlier than us, and he's already a Soul Master. My second and third brothers are a Great Soul Master and a Soul Master respectively—the gap is enormous. In three years, the competition between my eldest and second brothers will begin. If nothing unexpected happens, my second brother will definitely lose!

The consequence of failure is the abolition of one's cultivation, or even immediate death. Isn't that a bit too inhumane?

Dai Yutian frowned, his tone cold: "Oh? Yichen, you were born into royalty, and you've often studied alone in the royal library these past few years. You should understand that life is inherently unequal, especially in the royal family. The winners advance, the losers are eliminated!"

"Since you were born later, you need to cultivate even harder; this is also to put pressure on you!"

Dai Yichen cursed inwardly, "What do you mean by cultivating even harder?"

That's easy for you to say!

If someone was born earlier than you, and after seeing you competing fiercely, they also start competing fiercely in their training, even if your talent is slightly higher than theirs, how easy would it be to catch up? It's easy for you to say that when you're not in their shoes!

Originally, according to his understanding, the royal competition was a duel between the princes and the women of the Zhu family who were capable of performing a martial soul fusion technique.

But now, because of his appearance, a slight change has occurred. Zhu Zhuqing will not be paired with Dai Mubai. When they reach the right age, will Dai Mubai have to fight against both Davis and Zhu Zhuqing alone, or will he lose the right to compete?

Facing Dai Yutian's indifference, Dai Yichen remained unfazed: "Father, there's something wrong with what you're saying. Look at Second Brother—doesn't he work hard in his cultivation? But can he defeat Eldest Brother? Obviously not, unless Eldest Brother slacks off!"

Dai Yutian appeared indifferent, but he greatly admired his youngest son's attitude. As the Star Luo Emperor, he had also fought his way out of a bloodbath and knew the cruelty of the competition.

He had considered abolishing it before, but he was afraid it would cause internal strife.

Now that the Clear Sky Sect is in seclusion, without external support, and with the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire still outside, the Star Luo Empire may seem glorious on the surface, but only he knows that every major decision he makes is like walking a tightrope, and the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin!

But Dai Yichen's awakening yesterday gave him a glimmer of hope; he still had that much insight.

"So what's your opinion? As a prince, you should know that historical reforms have almost always been accompanied by bloodshed. Our royal family's greatest reliance right now is the Netherworld White Tiger. As for the other losers, you should also know that their cultivation has been abolished or they have been executed. This can greatly reduce the occurrence of internal strife!"

It must be admitted that Dai Yutian's words make some sense. This can be seen from Qian Renxue's choice to infiltrate the Tiandou Empire instead of coming to the Xingluo Empire.

Although Qian Renxue can disguise her appearance and martial soul, she cannot disguise her soul skills. Once she uses them, she will be exposed. Moreover, due to the special nature of the Star Luo Empire's "two-person" system, she cannot do it either.

As for the Heavenly Dou Empire, it was much easier to make a move.

At this moment, Dai Yichen had some guesses about why Dai Yutian had summoned him.

"Is it because Father saw my talent that he wants me to try to change?" Dai Yichen asked tentatively.

Dai Yutian shook his head: "No, it's not that I want to, it's that you want to! You probably don't want Zhu Zhuqing to die or be saddened, right?"

Dai Yichen: ? ? ?
