Then he roared: "Those damned Evil Soul Masters! To think they could secretly influence my daughter without anyone noticing!"
"Not only that, they even dared to try and destroy the friendship between Star Luo and the Douluo Federation!"
Holy crap, what a swift distancing!
Arthur was impressed; as expected of an Emperor.
Dai Tianling looked at the Federal Delegation with a solemn expression: "Rest assured, my Star Luo Empire will go all out to suppress the Evil Soul Masters!"
As his voice fell, he waved his hand and gave a loud command: "Pass down the order! Starting today, a special operation to purge Evil Soul Masters will be launched nationwide! The Imperial Palace, Star Luo City, and all major military districts are to conduct strict inspections!"
"Understood!" The captain of the guards responded loudly, turned, and walked away quickly to begin arranging the lockdown and search.
The Federal Vice Speaker hurriedly stepped forward with a look of "relief": "Your Majesty is truly wise and just. This is a blessing for Star Luo and for the entire continent. As long as the Evil Soul Masters are not eradicated, the world will never know peace."
Arthur nodded in agreement at the right time: "We deeply approve of Your Majesty's actions."
Tang Wulin was cleared of blame, Dai Yuner was taught a lesson, and the surveillance of Evil Soul Masters was strengthened.
"How am I so clever?" Arthur felt he was truly amazing... After the ceremony ended, in a side hall deep within the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere was completely different from the solemnity of the front hall.
Dai Yuner knelt on the cold floor, her eyes red and the tip of her nose still carrying traces of undried tears.
She held her head in her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly, looking quite pitiable.
Dai Tianling sat in a high position, looking at her with a darkened face that also held a hint of helplessness.
He had originally intended to give his daughter a good "education."
Pulling a prank like that at a national ceremony almost caused a diplomatic incident. If it had been his father, his legs would have been broken long ago.
But seeing his daughter's aggrieved look, the fire in his heart was doused like it was hit by cold water.
There was no helping it; he had over a dozen sons but only this one daughter.
"Do you know your mistake?" Dai Tianling said in a heavy voice.
Dai Yuner muttered in a low voice: "I'm not wrong. Who told him to sleep during the ceremony?"
"And that Arthur, why did he have to be so serious? It's all his fault."
Dai Tianling was almost driven to fits.
He took several deep breaths. No, if this continued, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back.
"Fine, go back and reflect on yourself. I'll deal with you once this storm has passed!"
The side hall finally fell silent.
Dai Tianling leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, but his mind was filled with images from the ceremony.
Arthur's series of maneuvers were clean and decisive; even he couldn't help but call them "professional" in his heart.
"Just how old is this kid..." Dai Tianling murmured to himself. "And he just happens to be from the Douluo Federation."
"Teacher," Dai Tianling suddenly spoke.
From the shadows on one side of the side hall, a tall figure slowly stepped out.
The newcomer was an old man in a long white robe. He was the strongest expert of the Star Luo Empire, the Holy Dragon Douluo, En Ci.
Dai Tianling stood up, his tone carrying a hint of respect: "Teacher, you saw everything."
En Ci's gaze was like lightning as he said slowly: "Arthur... is not simple."
"Just that Martial Soul Domain alone—there isn't a second person who can manifest it."
"Most importantly, his Spiritual Power has reached the Spirit Abyss Realm." En Ci sighed: "And he has gone extremely far within the Spirit Abyss Realm."
"Spirit Abyss Realm..." Dai Tianling smiled bitterly. "I thought our generation of monsters had already caught up with the Douluo Federation."
"I didn't expect Arthur to suddenly pop up."
"He really gave me a wake-up call."
