Chapter 280: The Truth is the Sharpest Blade (Part 2)

The silence of Xu Jiawei seemed deafening at this moment; he and the Prime Minister locked eyes, and for a time, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Carefully reflecting on their past actions, all were conclusions reached after the two had consulted, but looking at it today, one could not help but feel a sense of lament.

Isn't this just lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet? Who would have known that this kid, a fellow with only innate level five soul power, could reach such a level today.

Sure enough, sometimes, the greatest obstacle is always oneself.

"Cough, cough..."

Xu Jiawei subconsciously changed the subject. He looked at the map and slowly said, "There are still some exchange students from the Sun Moon Empire in Shrek Academy; should we..."

"This matter can be discussed with Shrek. My suggestion is to abandon this plan..." The Prime Minister had considered the feasibility of Xu Jiawei's plan, but he had also considered the exchange students in the Sun Moon Empire.

In such a plan, both sides hold hostages; if the Three Great Empires were to strike first, then the Three Great Empires would have no moral standing whatsoever.

"Forget it, let's wait. We can only pin our hopes on the Shrek party. I hope the princess can be safe in the Sun Moon Empire..."

Actually, the situation of Xu Jiujiu is still considered relatively good. She, along with Weina and Muxue, were awarded to Luo Yu by Xu Tianran as spoils of war. Compared to others, the safety of the three of them has, to a certain extent, received some protection.

From the perspective of ownership, the three of them now belong to Luo Yu as private property.

Of course, to put it more aptly, slaves...

Of course, given Luo Yu's character, he still wouldn't do that sort of thing; it is nothing more than having them wear Soul Power Restriction Bracelets and ordering people to keep them under strict guard at the estate.

"Tell me, where do you think Su Yu is right now?" Xu Jiawei looked at the Prime Minister, who was still handling various affairs, and asked.

The Prime Minister put down the memorial in his hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "High probability in the Sun Moon Empire, low probability in Shrek Academy."

Xu Jiawei continued to ask, "If he is in the Sun Moon Empire, will Su Yu participate in the operation?"

"It is possible. Judging from Su Yu's style of conduct, although Su Yu has some grievances against the Star Luo Empire, everyone knows that Su Yu deeply loves a student in the Shrek Inner Court. According to the information sent by Dai Huabin, the team acting as the overt force is led by Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, and among them is a student named Wang Dong'er; this is the person Su Yu cherishes. If the overt operation fails, it is highly probable that they will be assisted by Su Yu from the shadows. If the situation is urgent, he will directly step forward. From the information we have mastered, he has always pampered Wang Dong'er to the bone, so..."

The Prime Minister pondered for a while, searched through his Soul Guidance Storage Ring, and then handed a book to Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei opened the book. The content inside had been revised several times; it recorded Su Yu's learning situation within Shrek Academy. Although it focused on recording Su Yu's learning situation in class and news learned from others, its authenticity was absolutely beyond doubt.

"In other words, if the overt operation fails, we can at least increase our chances of escaping by a few points?" Xu Jiawei looked at the book in his hand; he suddenly realized the importance of Wang Dong'er.

"Judging from Dai Huabin's account, Su Yu's feelings for Wang Dong'er are extraordinary, so we can fully believe that this overt operation will not suffer too great a loss even if it fails. After all, although Su Yu's strength has never been revealed, as the heir of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Huabin's words cannot be wrong. Back during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, when Wang Qiu'er invited Su Yu to help formulate tactics, Su Yu defeated the Shrek Battle Team single-handedly; looking at that, his strength is very likely above Luo Yu's, or perhaps on par with Luo Yu."

The Prime Minister looked at the information he had sorted out from his notes and continued to read: "If we assume Su Yu's strength is not as good as Luo Yu's, judging from Su Yu's performance, he is very likely to have other trump cards that have not been revealed. However, the Sun Moon Empire also has someone who could shake the Soul Guidance Giant of Xuan Lao. Although it was Luo Yu who piloted the Soul Guidance Giant, Luo Yu also suffered extremely serious injuries at the time. From this point alone, it is estimated that Luo Yu currently has serious hidden injuries on his body. Even if the Sun Moon Empire treats him with all their might, his strength will at least be far inferior to before in the short term."

The Prime Minister's analysis was actually very accurate, but he had never thought of another direction.

What if Su Yu and Luo Yu were the same person?

Actually, regarding this point, it was not just the old Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire who had such a conjecture; many people in the Three Great Empires almost all had this conjecture, until Luo Yu and Su Yu appeared in the same place at the same time and had a clash, which dispelled it.

Just as Su Yu had thought before, the limitations of thinking not only appear in oneself, but also appear in others.

"Even if we know, so what? If the current Luo Yu cannot become a Title Douluo because of Xuan Lao's intervention, he is still destined to be a Soul Guidance genius of the Sun Moon Empire in the future, a supreme commander. By his side, there will be countless powerhouses of the Sun Moon Empire personally guarding him. If he has offspring, they are destined to marry into the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire in the future. The potential for growth of such a person in the future is enough to influence more than one generation of the Sun Moon Empire."

It is not that Xu Jiawei does not know, but even if he knows, there is no way. His only savior now is Luo Jing, but the current Luo Jing's strength is too far behind Su Yu's; there is simply no way for him to come to the forefront.

Even now, as long as he reveals even a little bit of his edge, he will immediately be detected by Su Yu. Once Su Yu detects it, Su Yu might not necessarily take action, but Luo Yu will definitely use the Holy Spirit Cult as a sword to launch a frantic attack on Luo Jing.

Luo Jing has an understanding of Su Yu, but he may not know that Su Yu's backup is Luo Yu. Who could have known that the person who masterminded the Mingdu defense battle that shocked the continent was actually a clone of Luo Yu!

"So, our plan is not only to rescue the hostages, but also to find an opportunity to kill Luo Yu once and for all?" Xu Jiawei looked at the Prime Minister, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

No Soul King can remain unscathed in the hands of Xuan Lao, not even Luo Yu, who borrowed the Number Two test subject.

"Not necessarily. Although we had such intentions at the beginning, we cannot ensure that we can get close to Luo Yu. After all, if the person piloting the Soul Guidance Giant at that time is a Level 9 Soul Engineer, then they can definitely hold off Xuan Lao before reinforcements arrive. Let alone Xuan Lao, even Du Busi, who once wreaked havoc at Shrek, couldn't do it. This is the terrifying aspect of the Sun Moon Empire."

The Prime Minister handed the secret letter in his hand to Xu Jiawei. The moment he opened the envelope, Xu Jiawei's expression became complex.

"Your Majesty, we should put down our prejudices and estrangements and unite with the Three Great Empires..."

"I know..."

At this moment, Xu Jiawei was full of sorrow. The news on the secret letter consisted of only a few words, but it made Xu Jiawei once again feel the pressure from a young man!

Luo Yu has lost contact...

Once Luo Yu loses contact, it must be accompanied by even greater events happening in the Sun Moon Empire.
