Kapitel 76: What do you want?
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were a bit surprised.
How could they not be surprised?
The difference in strength was akin to the difference in social status.
Would an emperor eat with a beggar?
The gap between a Titled Douluo and a Soul Elder was even larger than the difference between a human and an ant.
Yet Zhongli actually invited them to eat together…
The three exchanged glances and quickly cupped their hands towards Zhongli, saying, "Thank you, Your Excellency!"
"No need for such formalities."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Zhongli: "…"
Are all the people on Douluo Continent this stubborn?
When he asked Chi Yu to call him Zhongli, she insisted on calling him Master.
When he told Hu Liena and the others to not be so formal, they became even more respectful.
After the three sat down, they were like students who had done something wrong, sitting upright and staring straight ahead.
They were only here to gain some experience, not to negotiate.
Besides, with their current status, representing Spirit Hall in negotiations with a Titled Douluo would be like openly disrespecting the other party.
Even if Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's disciple, it was still the same.
Unless she could become the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, only then would she have the qualifications to directly converse with a Titled Douluo.
"Your Excellency is indeed as kind and approachable as the rumors say."
"The most important thing is, he's even more composed and handsome than the rumors..."
Hu Liena thought to herself.
Compared to her brother Xie Yue and Yan, who were so "out of style," they seemed like children who hadn't grown up in front of Zhongli.
Alright, it's true that someone who can become a Titled Douluo can't be too young.
Zhongli looked very young, his age should be about the same as Chrysanthemum Douluo or her teacher, Bibi Dong, right?
Xie Yue and Yan sat rigidly. Before meeting Zhongli, Yue Guan had instructed Yan to speak less.
Given Yan's personality, Yue Guan was worried that he might say something wrong and cause the mission to fail.
It wasn't just Yan; Yue Guan had given the same instructions to Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
After all, they were just juniors. If juniors spoke when the seniors were talking, it would create an awkward atmosphere.
It was better to quietly play the role of passersby.
Except for necessary greetings, they should avoid talking too much.
"Grandpa, why are you looking for Zhongli?"
Suddenly, Paimon seemed to have thought of something and spoke up first.
She is the mouth of the gods… No, no…
She is Paimon, the best guide!
They didn't come to the restaurant just to eat; there was something important to discuss.
"Yes, it's a very important matter."
Yue Guan said seriously. In his view, or rather in everyone's view, this was indeed a very important matter.
As an elder of Spirit Hall, he naturally knew the importance of a twin martial soul, and he could vaguely guess Zhongli's purpose.
Of course, it was also possible that Zhongli didn't know the secret of twin martial souls!
Before Bibi Dong, there was another recorded twin martial soul master.
After reaching a high level of cultivation, that master successfully added spirit rings to the second martial soul.
At first, everything was fine, but after adding a few spirit rings to the second martial soul, he died from his body exploding!
That master failed to solve the problem of twin martial souls.
But Bibi Dong succeeded!
Before Yue Guan set out, Bibi Dong had communicated this to him.
If Zhongli intends to use the second martial soul to break through to the divine level, then Zhongli must have mastered the secret of twin martial souls.
If Zhongli was afraid of dying from an exploding body and thus didn't dare to add spirit rings to the second martial soul…
Then, as long as Zhongli joins Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong would be willing to share the secret of twin martial souls with him!
"Sigh…"
Paimon blinked her eyes. Why didn't this old man just get to the point?
Another person speaking in riddles?
"What important matter is it?"
Hearing this, Yue Guan glanced at Paimon and then at Zhongli before nodding and saying, "I've come this time to invite you, Zhongli, to join the Spirit Hall as a guest elder."
Yue Guan spoke frankly.
After saying this, he paused and then continued, "And regarding the matter of acquiring your spirit rings!"
Yue Guan was confident, believing that Zhongli would definitely be interested in this matter!
However, to his disappointment, Zhongli only casually sipped his tea without speaking, as if he didn't care at all.
"???"
Yue Guan was full of questions, glancing at Zhongli in confusion.
Could it be that Zhongli already knew how to absorb spirit rings with a twin martial soul without dying from an exploding body?
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were all startled. Was this something they were even allowed to hear?
The three of them quickly adjusted their breathing, trying to make their presence as low as possible.
"Me, acquiring spirit rings?"
Paimon scratched her head. Why would she need to acquire spirit rings?
She wasn't a Spirit Master…
Wait, although she wasn't a Spirit Master, she had signed a contract with Zhongli. In Douluo Continent, she was supposed to be Zhongli's martial spirit.
Spirits could absorb spirit rings to grow.
But she was fake, not a real spirit!
Thinking of this, Paimon let out a nervous laugh.
"Hehe…"
She then flew to Zhongli's side and said, "Zhongli, Grandpa is inviting you to join Spirit Hall…"
Although Paimon hadn't been tainted by knowledge, she wasn't foolish. She knew how to change the subject.
She had signed a contract with Zhongli and couldn't break her word, but she didn't know how to respond. Changing the subject was the best approach.
Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand, his expression unchanged, still as calm as ever.
"Elder Yue, please return and inform your Pope."
"I am merely an unremarkable guest official at the Crown Prince Palace."
"A guest elder invited by Qian Renxue."
After saying this, Zhongli leisurely picked up his teacup and took another sip.
Having Qian Renxue's name behind him could reduce many troublesome matters.
Moreover, wasn't it Qian Renxue who invited him to be a guest official at the Crown Prince's Palace?
There was nothing wrong with this statement; it just depended on how the other side interpreted it.
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan immediately stood up from his chair, his face filled with shock.
His eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Zhongli actually knew Qian Renxue!
He…
Regaining his composure, Yue Guan quickly said, "I apologize for my loss of composure earlier."
"I will certainly convey Zhongli's words!"
Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue!
What a long-forgotten name. She had been in Heaven Dou City for about a decade, right?
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan exchanged glances.
Why was Chrysanthemum Douluo so excited upon hearing a single name?
No, to be accurate, why did he lose his composure?
Given their status, they hadn't even heard of Qian Renxue, let alone seen her!
Zhongli's words made Yue Guan "understand." There was no need to discuss the invitation any further.
As long as he relayed this message, he believed the Pope would understand.
If it were the guest elder of the Crown Prince's Mansion invited by "Xue Qinghe," then Zhongli would belong to the Heaven Dou faction.
But this was Qian Renxue's invited guest elder!
