Chapter 2756: Return to Martial Soul City_1
Court Etiquette Academy, Moon Pavilion!
Tang Yuehua immediately sought out Tang San...
With a hint of displeasure, she said, "Tang San, why didn't you return to the Moon Pavilion yesterday? If something had happened to you, how would I explain it to your father?"
Tang Hao trusted her, which is why he sent Tang San to the Moon Pavilion!
If something had happened to Tang San along the way, given Tang Hao's temperament, he would definitely cause an uproar at the Tiandou Empire Palace!!
That was something she didn't want to see!
Tang San hung his head low, "Sorry, Aunt, I had some matters, so I couldn't make it back in time!"
Tang Yuehua pursed her lips but didn't continue to scold. Instead, she seriously advised, "You must remember, nothing is more important than your own safety!"
Tang San took a deep breath, "Yes, Aunt, I understand. It won't happen again!"
Only then did Tang Yuehua nod in satisfaction, "Well then, tell me, where did you go yesterday?"
Hearing this, a subtle change came over the latter's expression...
He hadn't expected to not be able to avoid this topic...
Tang Yuehua seemed to sense something and asked with suspicion, "What, can't you tell your aunt about this matter?"
Tang San quickly waved his hands, explaining, "No... it's not that, it's just that this matter is a bit difficult for me to discuss."
This made Tang Yuehua even more curious, "What's so hard to talk about? Your aunt guarantees that she won't tell anyone else!"
Tang San had not been at Moon Pavilion for long; what important matters could he possibly have!
Tang San hesitated for a moment but decided to come clean...
"Aunt, the truth is, I didn't fail to return to Moon Pavilion yesterday, it's because I was compelled!"
"Compelled? Did someone bully you? Tell your aunt!"
Although the noble scions at Moon Pavilion looked down on Tang San, there was nothing she could do!
But if they had laid hands on him, as his aunt, she absolutely couldn't let it slide!
Tang San denied, "No... It's not that. Last night, after leaving Brother Sheng, I was attacked by a group of Soul Masters!"
"They were very strong; even the weakest among them was a Soul Elder. I was no match and was knocked unconscious!"
"It wasn't until I woke up that I found myself in the palace of His Majesty the Emperor!"
Tang Yuehua's expression turned to one of disbelief, "What?? His Majesty the Emperor? Xiaosan, you're not joking, are you?"
The very emperor of the Tiandou Empire, in his first meeting with Tang San, had actually used force to bring him to the palace!
That was somewhat hard to believe!
Upon hearing this, Tang San earnestly said, "Aunt, I know this sounds unbelievable, but it is indeed true!"
Having received confirmation, Tang Yuehua pressed further, "Did His Majesty the Emperor do anything to you?"
Given that Tang San had returned safely, without any injuries, he probably hadn't been mistreated!
Sure enough, Tang San immediately replied, "No, that didn't happen. His Majesty the Emperor merely inquired about Brother Sheng and then let me go!"
Tang Yuehua propped her chin, "He asked you about Xu Sheng? Just for that?"
"It seems that your Brother Sheng is not as simple as he appears, to be given such importance by His Majesty the Emperor, even resorting to this method of coercion."
Tang San seemed to remember something again, his tone growing heavier, "Right, Aunt, His Majesty the Emperor reminded me not to tell anyone about this incident!"
The former ruffled his hair, "I understand, this matter will rot in my brain!"
"Alright, enough chit-chat, come with me to study the etiquette knowledge now!"
...
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, having traveled throughout the night, finally reached the checkpoint outside Martial Soul City...
One could vaguely see quite a few Spirit Hall soldiers stationed nearby...
Wearing an air of arrogance, they loudly declared, "The entry to Martial Soul City is forbidden to non-Soul Masters!!"
As these words were spoken, the pride on the faces of the Soul Masters waiting outside the checkpoint was evident for all to see...
Being Soul Masters, they were clearly not subjected to any restrictions!
However, the commoners' eyes were filled with anger...
"Why, why can't non-Soul Masters enter Martial Soul City?"
"It's too much, just a few days ago there were no restrictions on commoners entering, why has this happened today!"
"Exactly, we will absolutely not accept this kind of disdainful treatment towards commoners!"
The Spirit Hall members clearly looked down upon their actions...
"All of you shut up, this is an order personally issued by His Holiness the Pope, and everyone must comply!"
"If you want to force your way into Martial Soul City, then you are making an enemy of the Spirit Hall!!"
Having said this, the surrounding Spirit Hall Soldiers raised their shields, as if to show a threat!
As expected, after this intimidation, the commoners, though reluctantly, could only skulk away from the place...
Even Xu Sheng, who was very familiar with Martial Soul City, was also very puzzled...
"What's happening? Martial Soul City is actually prohibiting non-Soul Masters from entering? This has never happened before!"
After shaking his head, he too walked towards the checkpoint...
One of the Spirit Hall members saw that he was young and said coldly, "You, show your Soul Master Proof!"
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Soul Master Proof??"
He remembered that this thing would only be issued after passing the Soul Awakening Ceremony held by the Spirit Hall!
It didn't have any special use, it simply meant that the Soul Master was recorded by the Spirit Hall...
The former frowned, "No Soul Master Proof? You haven't been registered with the Spirit Hall?"
Xu Sheng nodded affirmatively, "Yes!"
Hearing this, the expression of the Spirit Hall member turned much more serious, "Then which sect do you belong to?"
Xu Sheng answered truthfully, "I haven't joined any sect!"
The man's face immediately showed a few traces of annoyance, "Are you joking? You haven't been registered by the Spirit Hall nor joined any sect, how could you possibly become a Soul Master!"
Generally speaking, only the Spirit Hall and the Great Sects conduct the Soul Awakening Ceremony for six-year-old children!
But he shook his head again, "Never mind, release your Martial Soul, once it's confirmed that you're a Soul Master, we'll register you and you can enter!"
This time, it was Xu Sheng who hesitated, "Release my Martial Soul?"
With his talent, he feared it might cause unnecessary commotion!
That's right!
Hadn't Serpent Spear Douluo given him an Elder Order Badge?
It should come in handy!
With that in mind, he tossed the Elder Command Badge, which was pinned to his waist, over...
The Spirit Hall member caught it skeptically; the next second, his face changed dramatically...
He returned it with a sycophantic smile, saying, "I was blind just now and failed to recognize Mount Tai, welcome to Martial Soul. If there's any problem, feel free to look for me!"
A child having the Elder Command of the Spirit Hall meant even if he wasn't an Elder of the Spirit Hall himself, one of his elders certainly was!
Such an important figure was not someone he could afford to offend!
Xu Sheng took it back and nodded, "Thanks for the trouble!"
With that, he entered Martial Soul City smoothly...
