Father-Son Scheme: Dai Yutian's Unconventional Investment
Chapter 14 Father-Son Scheme: Dai Yutian's Unconventional Investment (Please continue reading)
Seeing his adoptive father reveal a rare, sly smile, Dai Yichen was speechless. This was the art of the emperor's mind.
No, this is a classic case of shifting blame; he's all too familiar with it.
Dai Yichen sighed inwardly. He didn't intend to waste any more time arguing with his father. He wasn't very satisfied with the competition system to begin with and was thinking of bringing it up again when he was stronger.
However, he still had to put on an act. Dai Yichen immediately put on a bitter expression and looked at Dai Yutian, saying, "Father, I'm just a child who has just awakened my martial soul. How can you bear to treat me like this? Whatever you say goes. If you want to reform the competition system, as your son, I will definitely support you one hundred percent!"
Zhu Ming watched as Dai Yichen began to throw a tantrum, his heart pounding, and he felt his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Dai Yutian chuckled, watching his fourth son perform before him. As the emperor, he knew his son's character all too well!
From the time he can remember until now, he has devoted himself to the library whenever he has time. Moreover, he is very intelligent and is the smartest of his four sons. That's why his father made an exception and allowed him to have appropriate contact with the three daughters of the Zhu family. His courage yesterday pleased his father even more, so his father made an exception and asked him to come and share his thoughts.
Dai Yutian said calmly, "Alright, today is a father-son contest. You don't need to be so nervous. I've watched you grow up; I know what you're like. Tell me your thoughts. This is your only chance today. After today, the competition rules of our royal family won't be so easy to change!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Was this the true value of the "Innate Full Soul Power" talent?
Even the eldest prince, Davis, was extremely respectful in front of Dai Yutian and dared not make such a joke.
Having known Dai Yutian for so long, this was the first time he'd heard the phrase "father-son scheme." Was it inappropriate for him to stay here? Was he the father or the son?
Seeing that his father had spoken, Dai Yichen could only put away his fake bitter smile and regain his composure. "Father, since you've asked me to speak, I'll offer my humble opinion for your consideration!"
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"
Dai Yichen: "Father, I think the overall framework doesn't need to be changed. We just need to add some humanity to it. There's no need for those who lose the competition to have their cultivation abolished or to die. As for the battles between the two sides, those who can use the Netherworld White Tiger can fight in pairs, while those who can't use the Netherworld White Tiger, such as my third brother and me, will fight one-on-one with my eldest brother when they reach a certain age."
Dai Yutian shook his head: "This is too lenient. You should know the situation of the Tiandou Empire's royal family. Two of the four princes died from poisoning. The fourth prince is arrogant and dissolute and a good-for-nothing. Although the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, has good political achievements, he is also a good-for-nothing in terms of strength. If this continues, they will perish even without our country's intervention."
It must be said that Dai Yutian, as an emperor who fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, did have a broad vision.
Ten thousand years later, the Heavenly Dou Empire did indeed cease to exist, but their Star Luo Empire was not much better off; the royal family had changed.
"Father, I understand what you're saying, but our royal family can't rely on so-called Martial Soul Fusion Techniques forever. The Netherworld White Tiger is powerful, but it also has many drawbacks, as you should know, Father, right?"
Dai Yutian nodded. Of course he knew that. As the Netherworld White Tiger, which had been passed down through generations of the Star Luo Empire, it was renowned throughout the continent. Its strengths and weaknesses had probably already been thoroughly studied by the major sects and the Spirit Hall.
Dai Yichen continued, "The main reason Father summoned me here today is because he values my potential and wants me to break this deadlock, right? Although it sounds a bit narcissistic, my appearance could very well make me the first person in our royal family to achieve the title of Title Douluo, and given the unique nature of my martial soul, my potential is definitely not low!"
Having his thoughts exposed, Dai Yutian looked at Dai Yichen, who was grinning smugly, and felt inexplicably annoyed: "Oh? You're really confident, aren't you? How about this, when you turn twelve, you fight your older brother. If you win, I'll agree to your suggestion, how about it? After all, this matter is of great importance, and if you don't achieve some results, I can't push it through."
In the end, Dai Yichen and Dai Yutian discussed for a long time in the study, and he naturally accepted Dai Yutian's proposal.
As for his second brother and the two daughters of the Zhu family three years later, Dai Yutian also stated that even if they lose, their cultivation will not be abolished. Instead, they will be secretly sent to the border of the Star Luo Empire for training. However, the two must wear masks and cannot use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
With Dai Yutian's statement, Dai Yichen naturally had no worries.
As for whether his second brother and the two Zhu family girls' identities would be discovered because of their martial souls, that was naturally impossible. After all, they weren't the only two in the army who possessed the White Tiger Martial Soul and the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.
In recent years, Dai Yutian promised not to restrict his movements, which is the most crucial point. After all, once he becomes a little stronger, he will have to go to the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire!
In the study.
Dai Yutian said expressionlessly, "Zhu Ming, do you think my decision this time was right?"
Zhu Ming knew that Dai Yutian wasn't actually asking for his opinion, so he said, "Any decision Your Majesty makes is correct. It's not easy for the royal family to have a prince with innate full soul power. It would be a real pity if he were to be deposed because of this competition rule in the royal family."
Dai Yutian chuckled: "Old man, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just feeling sorry for your three daughters, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down: "I dare not, I dare not! It is their blessing that the three of them can share the burdens of the royal family!"
Regardless, you must say the right things!

Dai Yutian: "Hahahaha, you don't need to be so nervous. If Yi Chen's strength really grows to the point where he can suppress the Netherworld White Tiger in the future, then this rule can be abolished!"
Dai Yutian glanced out the window, hoping his decision was right.
Initially, when he learned that Dai Yichen possessed innate full soul power, he had a thought in his mind: perhaps he could train him to become a royal guardian and assist the future emperor and empress, namely Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Davis and Zhu Zhuqing will likely win due to their age advantage.
