The intelligence in Zhi Lin's eyes, which had finally calmed down, turned exceptionally fierce...
"Damned Du Gu Bo, daring to humiliate me like this, if only I could break through to the Title Douluo in this life, I would make you pay a hundredfold!"
As a member of the Education Committee, he was usually high and mighty, when has he ever suffered such humiliation!!
And Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan, who had been hiding in the shadows, took this as the right moment to come out...
The former couldn't resist teasing, "How about it, Zhi Lin, we told you from the start, being enemies with Du Gu Bo isn't a wise choice!"
"Besides, he's Prince Xue Xing's most trusted man, you're really asking for trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Zhi Lin coldly glanced at them, "Shut up, you guys have no spine at all!"
If I'm not mistaken, these two have been hiding and eavesdropping from the very beginning!
Bai Baoshan stroked his beard and retorted, "If you had any backbone, Zhi Lin, why didn't you propose in front of Du Gu Bo to revoke Dugu Yan's eligibility to stay in the first team?"
"In the end, you chickened out! What right do you have to talk about us!"
That remark left Zhi Lin speechlessly choked up...
He could only respond with a vicious tone, "You!!"
Meng Shenji shrugged his shoulders, interrupting, "Zhi Lin, if you've got anger to vent, go find Du Gu Bo, it has nothing to do with us!"
Bai Baoshan chimed in, "Yeah, we are all members of the Education Committee, we followed you here because we were worried!"
Zhi Lin's mouth twitched a few times, "Well, thank you very much. Appearing neither early nor late, but just after Du Gu Bo has left!!"
Despite what they say, deep down they must be mocking me viciously!
Meng Shenji gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject, "What do you think, any interest in going back with us to discuss? Maybe we can alleviate some of the tension between you and Du Gu Bo?"
The former promptly turned away, "Not interested, and besides, I don't want to see the two of you for a while!"
Meng Shenji sighed helplessly, shaking his head, "This guy is really stubborn, but after this warning, he probably won't trouble Dugu Yan anymore!"
Bai Baoshan affirmed it, "Yeah, after all, Du Gu Bo's methods are quite ruthless. Even if he secretly took care of Zhi Lin, Prince Xue Xing might not blame him."
"But I don't think it has come to that!"
...
Pope Hall!
Xu Sheng, called here once again, looked at Bi Bidong with a hint of confusion, "Your Holiness, what business do you have with me this time?"
The events that happened after I left should have been explained in great detail!
Bi Bidong tapped her Purple Crystal Scepter lightly on the ground, her expression indifferent, "Xu Sheng, this time it's not me who has something for you, but them!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng directed his gaze towards Yueguan and Gui Mei, who were standing on either side...
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo??"
Yueguan nodded slightly, "It was us who asked Her Holiness to have you come over!"
"There's something we wish to confirm with you!"
Gui Mei remained silent, as if he felt it was unnecessary to speak.
Xu Sheng nodded in understanding, "What is it? Please speak freely, Chrysanthemum Douluo!"
The upcoming questions are probably related to our departure from the Martial Soul Hall!
Yueguan took a deep breath and began, "Here's the thing, Elder Gui and I were tracking an abyssal creature when we encountered it in a major battle!"
"After a prolonged struggle, we were completely outmatched, and we were on the brink of defeat!!"
"But at that moment, Elder Gui accidentally discovered one of the abyssal creature's weaknesses. Taking advantage of this, we managed to slay it and escape back to Martial Soul City!"
After hearing this, Xu Sheng propped up his chin in thought and said, "I see... you happened to find its weakness? That is indeed fortunate!"
However, Yueguan and Gui Mei joining hands was still no match for an abyssal creature, which was something he had not anticipated!
The only explanation is that they had become stronger by absorbing the essence and blood of Soul Masters or soul beasts!
Gui Mei furrowed his brow, "Fortunate? Xu Sheng, what do you mean by that?"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly and explained, "Although abyssal creatures each have their weaknesses, they are extremely subtle and usually go undiscovered!"
"To put it simply, Elder Gui, you finding the weakness was due to the abyssal creature's carelessness!"
Seemingly understanding, Gui Mei pondered and said, "Xu Sheng, are you suggesting that, in a normal battle, abyssal creatures would conceal their weaknesses very well?"
Xu Sheng shook his head, denying this statement, "No... The weaknesses of abyssal creatures generally cannot be identified with the naked eye!"
Hearing this, Yueguan and Gui Mei exchanged glances...
It seemed they both sensed the apprehension in each other's hearts...
It was hard to imagine that if not for good luck at the time, they probably would have both perished!!
Without their protection, Bi Bidong, as the Pope, might even face impeachment!!
But soon, a new question emerged...
"But if that's the case, why were the two abyssal creatures that appeared in Martial Soul City instantly killed with a single strike by their opponents?"
"Without knowing the exact weakness, even an Ultimate Douluo might not be able to do that, right?"
Xu Sheng's expression did not change, "As for this matter, I am not sure!"
He couldn't possibly answer that he had identified the abyssal creatures' weaknesses in a mere instant during the battle, could he?
Bi Bidong, having observed the former's actions, asked indifferently, "Yueguan, Gui Mei, do you have any other questions?"
It seemed that the slaying of the two abyssal creatures within Martial Soul City was unrelated to Xu Sheng!
Although he was a Titled Douluo, his Martial Soul was of the plant type, and achieving a one-hit kill was simply impossible!
Yueguan and Gui Mei bowed and said in unison, "No!"
Bi Bidong did not waste words and ordered, "If that's the case, you may leave now!"
Soon, Yueguan and the other disappeared from the great hall...
Only then did Bi Bidong continue, "Xu Sheng, actually there is something that I think I need to tell you!"
Xu Sheng showed no emotion, quietly waiting for the other's explanation...
"It's about Tang Hao's son, Tang San; he is currently in the Worship Hall being trained as the Saint Heir!"
Xu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Tang San is being trained as the Saint Heir by the Worship Hall??"
What was this situation, wasn't that guy supposed to be studying at the Moon Pavilion?
Could it be that he discovered my whereabouts and thus followed me to the Martial Soul Hall??
No, that's unlikely!
Given the relationship between Tang Hao and the Grand Elder of the Worship Hall, it was already a miracle that Tang San wasn't killed immediately!
How could they possibly go to great lengths to train him!!
