Chapter 2788: Retrieving the Elder Command_1

Upon arriving inside the Imperial Palace Great Hall, Xue Ye seated himself upon the throne that belonged to him...

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and the others, upon his gesture, took their seats to the side...

They harbored no dissatisfaction with this; after all, the other party was the emperor of Tiandou Empire!

After taking a deep breath, Xue Ye began speaking with utmost seriousness, "Sect Master Ning, I won't beat around the bush. The purpose of inviting you here is still to hope that you can become Qing He's teacher!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded to show his understanding and softly said, "Regarding this matter, I was already informed on my way here!"

Xue Ye's expression brightened as he pressed, "Does that mean Sect Master Ning has agreed??"

Ning Fengzhi pursed his lips before replying again, "To be honest with Emperor Xue Ye, I am still considering it."

Gu Rong, who was at the side, seemed to have perceived something, but considerately did not speak...

He was well aware that Ning Fengzhi already had an answer in his heart!

It's just that in certain respects, it might not have met his expectations yet!

Xue Qinghe and Ning Rongrong also sat to the side, listening, without uttering a word to interrupt...

The smile on Xue Ye's face abruptly ceased as he frowned and questioned, "What's the matter? Does Sect Master Ning feel that Qing He is not excellent enough??"

He did not believe there was anyone within the territory of Tiandou Empire with a talent superior to Xue Qinghe's!

Except for that Xu Sheng!

Ning Fengzhi shook his head to refute, "No, it's not that. The Crown Prince is indeed very excellent!"

"Precisely because of this, I don't believe I am capable of teaching him well!"

Upon hearing this remark, the gleam in Xue Ye's eyes flickered, as if he had noticed something...

"Sect Master Ning, you jest. Apart from you, I can think of no one else who has the qualifications to teach Qing He. I would be very relieved to entrust him to you," he said.

Ning Rongrong blurted out unexpectedly, "Of course, my dad is really powerful. Teaching the Crown Prince is more than within his capabilities!"

Without a doubt, her words made both Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye's expressions turn a shade uglier...

Seeing the atmosphere turn sour, Gu Rong reminded, "Rongrong, don't interrupt when Sect Master is negotiating with Emperor Xue Ye!"

However, Ning Fengzhi suddenly cut him off, "Uncle Bone!"

Gu Rong, puzzled, said, "Sect Master?"

Ning Fengzhi continued, "Please take Rongrong outside the Great Hall. I wish to discuss this alone with Emperor Xue Ye."

Gu Rong raised no objections, "All right!!"

Given the current circumstances, this was the best course of action. After all, no one knew whether Ning Rongrong might make some earth-shattering move again!

After signaling to Xue Ye, he led Ning Rongrong out of the Great Hall...

Witnessing this, Xue Qinghe also stood up and respectfully said, "Then Father Emperor, Sect Master Ning, I too shall take my leave!"

Xue Ye, feigning annoyance, said, "Wait, Qing He, the purpose of inviting Sect Master Ning here was to discuss your matter. Leaving like this, what kind of example does that set?"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi also slightly nodded in agreement...

"That's right, I'd very much like to have a chat with the Crown Prince as well!"

Understanding the situation, Xue Qinghe hastily conceded, "It was thoughtless of me!"

With that said, he took his seat again...

…

At this moment, located outside the imperial palace, the Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo...

One could see the former glance at the imperial palace and then sigh, "I don't know why the Holy Daughter ordered us to leave the palace. What if something happens during this time!"

Porcupine Douluo was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed, "Serpent Spear, could it be that you don't know? It seems that Emperor Xue Ye has invited the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to the imperial palace, so the Holy Daughter commanded us to leave!"

"Presumably, she was afraid that the Super Douluo level warriors accompanying them would sense our presence."

In a palace without the protection of formidable Soul Masters, detecting the presence of several Super Douluos was a clear sign of trouble, as long as one wasn't a fool!

After hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo pondered and said, "So that's the case. No wonder the Holy Daughter insisted on our departure, once exposed, the plan would completely fail!"

"But the Holy Daughter has been so worried about Xu Sheng; shouldn't we do something about it?"

Porcupine Douluo narrowed his eyes, "Serpent Spear, are you suggesting that we kill Xu Sheng?"

Serpent Spear Douluo rolled his eyes, "Kill him, my ass. Not to mention the relationship between Xu Sheng and the Holy Daughter, even the Grand Elder would absolutely not allow us to do such a thing!"

Moreover, his desire to kill Xu Sheng had diminished significantly...

Porcupine Douluo was confused, "Then what do you mean?"

Serpent Spear Douluo said irritably, "Of course, to head to Martial Soul City to check on the lad's situation, then report back to the Holy Daughter!"

"This way, she should be able to rest easy!"

Porcupine Douluo stroked his chin, "Hmm, that makes sense, but if we go to Martial Soul City, and the Holy Daughter encounters danger, we won't be able to arrive in time!"

"Let's wait until the people from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect leave before doing anything!"

Serpent Spear Douluo immediately rebuked, "Wait for what? We can just split up. You're responsible for protecting the Holy Daughter, and I'll go to Martial Soul City to investigate Xu Sheng's situation!"

"Besides, he still has my Elder Command token on him, and such a thing must not fall into the wrong hands!!"

Every Elder Command token of the Martial Soul Hall could only be possessed by warriors of the Title Douluo level!

Except for the one specially given to that waste, Yu Xiaogang, by Bi Bidong!

Porcupine Douluo cast a disdainful look, "Tsk, after all this talk, you're not really considering the Holy Daughter's well-being, but rather you want to retrieve your Elder Command token. Why did you give it to Xu Sheng in the first place?"

Having his intentions exposed, Serpent Spear Douluo's face turned noticeably green, not in the mood for idle talk, "Enough chatter, it's settled!!"

Not waiting for a response, he quickly left...

Porcupine Douluo wanted to make another snide remark, but suddenly he felt a strong spiritual power envelop him from behind...

Without any hesitation, he concealed his own soul power fluctuations...

Only after the spiritual power had completely dissipated did he wipe the cold sweat from his forehead...

With lingering fears, he muttered, "Damn, Bone Douluo's spiritual power is so immense?"

Had he not hidden his aura in time, there was a fear he would have been detected!!

The upcoming actions must be taken with extra caution, not to affect the Holy Daughter!!

...

Martial Soul City!

Several attractive female students, all dressed in water-blue skirts and wearing matching accessories, were gathered together, chatting...

Then Shen Liuyu spoke cautiously, "Bing'er, isn't it rather rash of us to come to Martial Soul City?"

Shui Bing'er pressed her lips together, whispering, "I... I don't think there's a problem, after all... Xu Sheng saved our lives, we should properly thank him!"

Shui Yue'er smiled and said, "Yes, I don't see a problem either, especially since Martial Soul City isn't far from the academy,"

Qiu Ruoshui muttered, "Now that we're here, it's not like we can just go back, but I'm actually a bit scared to head to Pope Hall!"

Snow Dance expressed dissatisfaction, "Bing'er, you wouldn't actually have taken a liking to that Xu Sheng, would you? He just happened to save us!"

At the time, she was very reluctant to come, but she was still dragged here...
