บท 3384: Chapter 3234: Investigation

Arriving outside the door, Sect Master Ning spoke softly, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, may I come in?"

Soon, a response came from inside...

"It is Sect Master Ning, ah, please come in quickly!"

After receiving permission, he then pushed the door open and went inside...

The first thing that caught his eye was the overly calm Xue Ye!

Clearly, the other party had anticipated his visit today!

He immediately greeted with a fist wrapped in the other hand, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, I apologize for coming so late!"

Xue Ye nodded and signaled, "Sect Master Ning is too kind, please take a seat before we discuss your concerns."

As expected, the day before the friendship match ended, Sect Master Ning would surely come to discuss!

He felt that his wait had not been in vain!

Sect Master Ning was also accustomed to the former's way of doing things and casually found a seat to sit down...

Immediately after, he tried to start the conversation, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, if I'm not mistaken, you must have foreseen my visit, hadn't you?"

Xue Ye just chuckled, "You, Sect Master Ning, had also anticipated that I would be here waiting, so you came at night, didn't you?"

Sect Master Ning did not deny it, but followed the former's words, "Indeed, but since Your Majesty Xue Ye had already guessed, you must also know why I am here, right?"

In a moment, Xue Ye's expression turned solemn...

"Hmm, is it because the final match of the friendship competition is tomorrow? Once it's over, the Martial Soul Hall might do something!"

"Especially that Bi Bidong, with her ruthless nature, it wouldn't be impossible for her to send someone to attack us even now!"

Sect Master Ning tried to keep his tone light, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, you needn't worry so much. Although Bi Bidong is the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, with the current situation, she wouldn't dare act rashly against you, lest she offend the entire royal household!"

"However... to say she might do something in secret, that is still very likely!"

At present, the Martial Soul Hall could not afford the infamy that would come with attacking the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, as it would greatly diminish their credibility!

But in the future, that might not be the case!!

Xue Ye nodded slightly, "What you say does make sense, Sect Master Ning. She, Bi Bidong, indeed does not yet have the guts to strike at me directly!"

"But..."

Perceiving his hesitation, Sect Master Ning patiently asked, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, do you have any other concerns?"

Xue Ye did not hold back, speaking candidly, "Sect Master Ning, do you remember what happened during the times you spoke with Bi Bidong before? I am worried the Martial Soul Hall might turn their sights towards the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"

Sect Master Ning suddenly realized, then reflected, "Hmm... To tell the truth, my Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and the Martial Soul Hall have already had considerable discord for some time"

"Plus the confrontations a few days ago, Bi Bidong indeed may see the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect as a thorn in her side, and attacking is likely just a matter of time!"

Xue Ye pursed his lips, "But Sect Master Ning, you seem not to be worried at all??"

Clearly aware that the Martial Soul Hall might move against the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, the former showed no trace of fear!

Could it be that he had made complete preparations?

Sect Master Ning took a deep breath and said word by word, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, although Bi Bidong is the Pope, there is someone within the Martial Soul Hall who holds even greater power!"

Xue Ye narrowed his eyes, "Are you referring to the father of the former Pope, the current Hall of Worship's Grand Worshipper, Qian Dao Liu??"

That level 99 entity, just the thought of him sent shivers down the spine!!

Sect Master Ning affirmed this, "That's correct, it's that Qian Dao Liu. As long as he's around, aside from Ghost Charm and Yue Guan, her two trusted aides, all the other powerful elders will follow the former!"

"In other words, even if Martial Soul Hall makes a move against the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, without a sufficient number of Hyper Douluo experts, the end result can only be mutual destruction!"

She just didn't believe that Bi Bidong would risk the stability of her position as Pope to attack the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!

Only then did Xue Ye understand, "So that's how it is. Sect Master Ning has given this careful thought, to have come up with this point!"

"I am also aware of Qian Dao Liu, with him there, Bi Bidong truly wouldn't dare to make a move against the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"

Sect Master Ning didn't waste any more words, "Therefore, His Majesty Xue Ye, instead of worrying whether you or the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect might be attacked by Martial Soul Hall!"

"It would be better to consider whether Martial Soul Hall might launch an attack on the way back to the academy for the competing students!"

If these competing students and their accompanying teachers were all ambushed and killed, even the royal household would be unable to blame Martial Soul Hall!

Xue Ye coughed into his hand, "What do you suggest, Sect Master Ning??"

True to form as Sect Master Ning, with just a few words, he took control of the conversation!

At that moment, Sect Master Ning's gaze became serious, "Have the people from various academies return with us. In this way, there will be no need to worry about safety issues!"

He didn't want to see so many talented students die before they had the chance to grow!

Xue Ye didn't hesitate to make a decision, "Hmm... alright, we will do as Sect Master Ning suggests. Tomorrow, I will notify people from the other academies to return together!"

…

Yue Guan, who was hiding and watching Gu Rong, said with an unsightly face, "Damn it! To think that Gu Rong is the one on guard, even I can't sneak in!"

He had been ordered by Bi Bidong to find out news about Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye!!

But unexpectedly, Gu Rong was guarding outside, and once he entered the range of spiritual power perception, he would be exposed immediately!!

However, the next second, Gu Rong suddenly turned around, his ice-cold eyes looking in this direction, he coldly shouted, "Who's there??"

Yue Guan's heart tightened instantly, "This isn't good, I've been discovered!!"

Without any hesitation, he erupted with full strength and instantly left the area…

A few seconds later, Gu Rong, who appeared at the position where he had been, scanned the surroundings. After confirming that no one was hiding...

He made a disdainful remark, "Hmph, a rat showing its tail but not its head. But to be able to escape from my spiritual power tracking in time, it must be either Yue Guan or Ghost Charm!!"

But this also indicated that Bi Bidong was indeed planning to do something during this period!

Otherwise, why would he risk exposure to send Yue Guan to investigate the situation!

Disciples of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, who were not far away, also rushed over, asking with great confusion, "Bone Douluo, may I ask what has happened?"

They had only heard his roar just now, with no clear idea of what had occurred!

To this, Gu Rong gestured with his hand and calmly replied, "Nothing much, just a bug that suddenly appeared, and I've scared it away!!"

"You all go back. Make sure to guard every place well!!"

Hearing this, the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect naturally didn't dare to object, "Yes, Bone Douluo!!"
