Xu Sheng responded with a faint smile, "Actually, even without an explanation, Your Holiness the Pope should already be aware of the specific situation, shouldn't you? After all, from the moment Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo arrived, you and Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have been secretly observing!"
Upon hearing these words, Yueguan and Gui Mei were suddenly shocked...
You see, they had completely concealed their soul power fluctuations, and even Chen Xin and his companion had not detected them!
But this Xu Sheng, he actually sensed them, so how strong must his spiritual power be?
Bi Bidong's eyes shimmered with a strange light, "Oh? How did you detect our presence?"
She felt that the other party was still hiding a lot!
For example, the bizarre body techniques he used during the fight with Chen Xin were not taught by the Spirit Hall at all!
Xu Sheng knew that the other party was fishing for information and shook his head, "Your Holiness the Pope jests, I just assumed that, with such powerful individuals descending upon Your Holiness, both Senior Chrysanthemum and Ghost could not possibly remain unaware!"
"And the fact that you haven't shown up for so long, I presume, was because you were secretly observing the situation!"
Bi Bidong looked at him deeply and followed his line of reasoning, "Indeed, both Yueguan and I noticed their arrival at the time Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo came!"
"We did not show ourselves before because we wanted to see the purpose of their visit to the Pope Hall!"
In an instant, both Flame and Evil Moon felt somewhat dissatisfied...
At the moment Chen Xin made his move against Hulena, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo had not appeared!
That meant, in their eyes, the latter was not as important as they had imagined!!
And Hulena herself, of course, was also feeling emotional, but did not dare to express it openly!
After all, the other party was her teacher, who had provided ample cultivation resources and guidance!!
Bi Bidong frowned, "Alright, now that the people from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect have gone back, let's leave this matter at that, Nana, you continue your cultivation!
Then, she turned to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, come to the great hall later, there's news about that matter"
It seemed it was time to inform him about the abyssal creatures!
At least to secure his willingness to stay in the Spirit Hall!!
Otherwise, if he became a part of any other power, or even the Worship Hall's side, it would pose a huge threat!!
Xu Sheng understood and nodded, "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"
The so-called matter was nothing but something related to the abyssal creatures!
Bi Bidong did not say more and left with Ghost Charm and Yue Guan...
Flame, who had not dared to speak up until now, finally patted his chest and said with a sigh of relief, "Phew, it's finally over. But why did the Pope glare at me just now?"
Evil Moon rolled her eyes and said with exasperation, "You still dare to ask why the Pope glared at you? If it were me, I'd slap you to death!"
Hulena also spoke with conviction, "That's right, the teacher must have her reasons for her actions. At that time, your interjection would have only complicated matters!"
Flame said somewhat unwillingly, "But Nana, wasn't I speaking up for you? The reason we let the Spirit Hall Soldiers take action was because Ning Rongrong made statements that insulted the Spirit Hall!"
"And yet, the Pope turned right and wrong on its head, blaming everything on you!!"
"Xu Sheng, tell me, was I really in the wrong?"
Xu Sheng sighed, "Flame, fundamentally speaking, defending Nana was the correct thing to do, but in that situation, if we were to blame Ning Rongrong, I fear it would only escalate the conflict between the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and Spirit Hall!"
"Just imagine, two Hyper Douluos launching full-force attacks inside the Pope Hall—it would be terrifying!"
"Even you, me, and everyone else might die here!!"
Flame seemed to realize something too, as cold sweat broke out on his forehead...
Yes, that's right!
Based on the attitudes of those two Hyper Douluos just now, they were completely indulgent of Ning Rongrong!
If they really got angry, they would definitely wreak havoc in the Pope Hall!!
He indeed had been a bit rash!
Evil Moon saw his gaze becoming clear again and said, "Well? Do you understand now? Next time, use your brain before you speak!"
Perhaps the reason Flame didn't become the Saint Heir is that his intelligence just isn't up to par!!
Otherwise, his innate talent is stronger than both Hulena's and mine!
Flame nodded to show he understood, "Got it! If I make the same mistake again, Nana, Flame, and Xu Sheng, you must remind me!"
Otherwise, who knows if I'd mess up something big at some point and be eliminated by the Martial Soul Hall!!
...
Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Ning Rongrong excitedly pushed open the door, "Dad, I'm back!!"
Following her, Chen Xin and Gu Rong also entered…
Little did they know, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting in the main seat, had an unusually cold look in his eyes…
He immediately said, "Rongrong, kneel down!!"
His words were filled with undeniable authority!!
Ning Rongrong was so frightened that she paled and knelt down subconsciously…
With a trembling voice she said, "Dad... Daddy"
It was the first time she had seen him so angry, completely different from his usual self!
Seeing this, Chen Xin immediately scolded, "Feng Zhi, what are you doing? Rongrong has come back with us, hasn't she?"
Gu Rong was even making up outright lies, "Yeah, Rongrong did go to the Pope Hall, but she didn't cause any trouble!!"
But Ning Fengzhi was not having any of it…
He said coldly, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, can you refrain from speaking today? I am educating Rongrong!!"
Chen Xin's eyes widened, "Feng Zhi, how dare you…"
He never expected the other to speak to him like this!
Gu Rong, sensing something off about Ning Fengzhi's emotions at the moment, said calmly, "Feng Zhi is probably really angry this time. Let's step out for now and talk about this later!"
Chen Xin hesitated, "But…"
Gu Rong took a deep breath, "Don't worry, Rongrong is his daughter. At most he'll scold her; he won't do anything!"
"Besides, you don't want Rongrong to become a spoiled and willful girl, do you?"
Spoil her when it's appropriate, but not when it isn't!
On this point, he had a very clear understanding!
Hearing this, Chen Xin had no choice but to step back, "Fine, but if Feng Zhi really does anything to Rongrong, don't blame me for not giving him face as the Sect Master!"
Gu Rong made perfunctory remarks, "Of course, of course, who in the entire Seven Treasures Glaze Sect has more face than you? Let's go."
Without waiting for a reply, he pulled Chen Xin along and left!
Only then did Ning Fengzhi turn his gaze toward Ning Rongrong, who was kneeling on the floor, and said expressionlessly, "Do you know what you did wrong today?"
Ning Rongrong straightened her chest, "Dad... Daddy, I don't think I did anything wrong today!"
Ning Fengzhi sneered, "You don't know?? Don't you realize how dangerous it was to go to Martial Soul City alone?"
"Do you know how worried I, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa were??"
"Also, do you think I don't know about the trouble you caused in the Pope Hall just because they didn't say anything?"
