Seeing Xue Ye's departing figure, even with Xue Qinghe's composure, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh...
"Sigh... Fortunately, I woke up in time before Xue Ye came in, otherwise my identity would have been exposed!"
Xu Sheng, who rarely witnessed such an entire scene, joked, "That's why, Ren Xue, you shouldn't easily disable the camouflage ability of the Spirit Skull."
Xue Qinghe gave him a slight glare and admonished, "Xu Sheng, it's... it's because of you that I fell into deep meditation in the first place."
He paused, then muttered softly, "But the effect was indeed very good; it allowed my soul power rank to break through by one level!"
She had thought Xu Sheng was just kidding, but every step he directed turned out to be very effective!
At least, her cultivation had never been so effortless before!
While they were talking, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo burst in with murderous intent, hastily scanning the surroundings...
As if they were searching for something...
On seeing this, Xue Qinghe said with full confusion, "Porcupine Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, what is this?? Why are you showing so much killing intent?"
If it were any greater, it might be sensed by the powerful Soul Masters at the Tiandou Empire Palace!
Upon hearing this, the two of them regained their composure, their expressions turning grave, "Holy Daughter, Xue Ye didn't discover your identity, did he? We were about to eliminate him!"
Xue Qinghe nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I woke up in time, and he shouldn't have discovered anything!"
Serpent Spear Douluo patted his chest immediately, "That's good, that's good. Otherwise, our plan to take over the Tiandou Empire Palace would have failed!"
The anxiety in Porcupine Douluo also dissipated, "Exactly, Grand Elder would definitely be furious in such a case!"
Remembering the scene when the Grand Elder was enraged, a hint of apprehension appeared on their faces...
Xue Qinghe coughed behind her hand, "Alright, let's leave the matter at that. But next time someone approaches the sleeping chambers, Porcupine Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, you'll have to inform me in advance!"
The two said in unison, "Yes, Holy Daughter!"
After getting confirmation, Xue Qinghe looked towards Xu Sheng with a complex gaze and said hesitantly, "That... Xu Sheng?"
Xu Sheng asked casually, "Hmm? Is there anything else?"
Gathering her courage, she pressed on, "Well... that is, could you please instruct me in my cultivation in the future? I don't know what level of power you used to have, but it must have been extraordinary!"
She wanted to increase her strength as quickly as possible!
Xu Sheng agreed without any hesitation, "Of course! You can ask me any time you encounter problems in your cultivation!"
Xue Qinghe, with ears turning hot, barely audible, replied, "Thank... Thank you."
Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo standing beside them didn't know what to say...
In their eyes, the Holy Daughter was clearly becoming intensely curious about this young man...
Totally unaware that she was being strategized step by step...
After exchanging a glance, they reached a tacit agreement!
This matter must be reported to the Grand Elder!
...
At this moment, at the Martial Soul Hall!
Yueguan pointed to the three children standing not far away and said, "Your Holiness the Pope, these three are the most excellent children recruited by the Martial Soul Hall!"
"And they have defeated their peers with ease!"
Indeed, they were Hulena, Evil Moon, Flame!
Gui Mei spoke coldly, "What are you standing there for? Haven't you met His Holiness the Pope yet?"
Realizing what was expected, Hulena and the others greeted him with an incredibly respectful tone, "His Holiness the Pope!!"
Bi Bidong merely "hmm" without any expression and then commanded, "Now, release your Martial Souls and Soul Rings!"
```
After he finished speaking, they did not hesitate to release their Martial Souls and Soul Rings...
Even Bi Bidong, with her Beautiful Eyes, shone with a glint of light at this sight...
She made an evaluation in her heart!
Both their appearances and their strengths were extremely outstanding!
Then, she indifferently said, "All right, retract them now!"
Only when they retracted their Martial Souls did Yueguan carefully ask, "Your Holiness, they..."
Bi Bidong glanced at him, "They're quite good. They are qualified to become my disciples!"
Yueguan then gave Gui Mei a look...
The latter immediately announced, "Hulena, Flame, Evil Moon, from today on, Her Holiness will be your teacher. Do you understand?"
The three of them couldn't help but show looks of astonishment...
Flame anxiously said, "What... What? Her Holiness will be our teacher?"
Evil Moon rubbed her eyes, "This... This can't be fake, right? To actually... actually become a disciple of Her Holiness!"
Hulena said excitedly, "It's... It's fantastic, to become a disciple of Her Holiness is our honor!"
Gui Mei reminded them again, "Cough cough... Mind your behavior!"
Only then did the three of them come to their senses, and they knelt down in front of Bi Bidong, excited, "Thank you, Your Holiness... Teacher!"
Bi Bidong allowed herself a rare smile, but it was fleeting...
She added, "Not only that, Hulena, from now on, you will be trained as the Martial Soul Hall's Holy Daughter!!"
Hulena looked up, gazing earnestly at her, "Yes, Teacher, I will not disappoint you!"
Only then did Bi Bidong turn towards Gui Mei and the others, ordering, "Gui Mei, Yueguan, announce this at once!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
...
Worship Hall!
Qian Dao Liu, upon receiving the news, spoke with a hint of surprise, "Oh?? Bi Bidong has actually taken three disciples?"
The Serpent Spear Douluo beside him nodded, "Yes, Grand Elder, they are said to possess exceptional talent, having easily defeated soul masters of the same age, and are called the Golden Generation of the Martial Soul Hall!"
Qian Dao Liu pursed his lips, "Golden Generation, huh? Interesting!"
The Serpent Spear Douluo hesitantly added, "There's actually another matter!"
Qian Dao Liu seemed to sense something and said coldly, "Speak!"
The Serpent Spear Douluo had no choice but to steel himself and reply, "Bi Bidong... she, has taken it upon herself to train that child named Hulena as the Holy Daughter!"
"It seems she intends for her to be the next Pope!"
"This might affect the current Holy Daughter..."
Qian Dao Liu scoffed, "I see, Bi Bidong really doesn't hide her intentions, but it doesn't matter. No matter how outstanding that child is, she cannot be compared to Ren Xue!"
"And she definitely won't get recognition from the Worship Hall!"
Because his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, had an Innate soul power that reached a terrifying rank of twenty!
This was no longer a matter of being a genius!
The Serpent Spear Douluo then suggested, "The talent of the Holy Daughter is indeed unmatched, but shouldn't we warn Bi Bidong? Although she serves as the Pope, we all know that the one truly qualified to control the entire Martial Soul Hall is you!"
Qian Dao Liu waved his hand dismissively, clearly unconcerned, "No need. Let Bi Bidong do whatever she wants, as long as it doesn't affect my plans!"
