Chapter 318 Alternative Surveillance_1

Bi Bidong nodded, "Indeed, during the days when Evil Moon and the other two were cultivating, I only taught them theoretical knowledge and never touched upon real combat experience!"

"And both you and Lao Gui, because of your investigation into abyssal creatures, similarly had no time to provide instruction!"

"Aside from Xu Sheng, I can't think of anyone else!"

Yueguan furrowed his brow, reminding her, "But Your Holiness, this Xu Sheng is barely ten years old, how could he possibly possess such rich combat experience? This entirely defies common sense!"

Could it be that Xu Sheng, from a very young age, had already been fighting Soul Masters on his own, even hunting soul beasts?

Such a thought was truly shocking!

Bi Bidong didn't answer but instead countered, "Yueguan, do you still remember? Xu Sheng once said that he traveled here from the future!"

Yueguan almost subconsciously replied, "I naturally remember that statement."

But the next second, he exclaimed in shock, "Wait, Your Holiness, you can't possibly have already believed what he said, have you?"

Such an absurd claim was clearly a falsehood!

Bi Bidong's expression remained unchanged, "Even if I don't believe it, the various talents and wisdom that Xu Sheng has displayed after entering the Martial Soul Hall are beyond what one of his age could possess!"

"I really can't find any reason to refute it!"

Upon hearing this, Yueguan couldn't help but clench his fists...

Traveling from the future to the present, what a joke!!

He would never agree with such a notion!!

After suppressing his emotions, he took a deep breath, "Your Holiness, even if this Xu Sheng did travel from the future, we must not trust him too much, we must remain vigilant in case of any deceit!"

Initially, he was dead set against joining the Martial Soul Hall, but not much later, he suddenly changed his mind. Who would believe that there was no motive behind it?!

As for those bizarre abyssal creatures, they probably existed long ago, and it just so happened that he encountered them!

Bi Bidong's eyes flickered at him, "There's no need for your reminder. I've said before, he is nothing more than a card up our sleeve to seize the championship of the Continent's Senior Soul Master Elite competition!"

"Beyond that, he has no reason to exist at all!"

After saying that, her heart suddenly gave a sharp pang, but she endured it well...

Yueguan bowed slightly, "Your Holiness, it was presumptuous of me to speak out of turn!"

Bi Bidong had no intention of continuing the topic and asked again, "What about Gui Mei? What has he been up to?"

Since the last time Gui Mei was sent to test Xu Sheng, I've hardly seen him!

Yueguan hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but Lao Gui might be investigating the corpses of those dead abyssal creatures, perhaps related to the initial battle!"

If it weren't for my timely arrival back then, Gui Mei might have already fallen at the hands of an abyssal creature!

It is natural to want to learn more about the structure of abyssal creatures, to avoid being caught off guard should we encounter them again!

Bi Bidong pondered, "Is that so? It seems that almost being killed by an abyssal creature last time has become a shame in Gui Mei's heart!"

Yueguan interjected unexpectedly, "Your Holiness, do you need me to bring Lao Gui back?"

The former waved her hand, then gazed at Yueguan with a complex look...

"No need, there is just one thing that you and Gui Mei need to keep in mind!"

Yueguan's expression turned serious, as he saluted, "Please speak, Your Holiness, I will certainly keep it etched in my heart!"

Bi Bidong spoke with an utterly serious tone, "You and Gui Mei in the Martial Soul Hall are the people I trust the most, saying that you are my right-hand men is no exaggeration, I do not wish for any mishaps to occur to either of you."

"Therefore, the next time you encounter an abyssal creature, you must prioritize your own life!"

If Yueguan and Gui Mei were to fall, she, already in an awkward position, would find it almost impossible to move a step within the Martial Soul Hall!

A warm current rose in Yueguan's heart, and he subconsciously pinched his fingers together in a delicate gesture, his face flush with shy embarrassment, "Your Holiness..."

He had not anticipated the high regard in which he and Lao Gui were held by His Holiness; his heart was filled with excitement!

This scene also somewhat broke Bi Bidong's composure, causing her to cover her mouth as she coughed...

"Ahem, Yueguan, I know you're moved, but please don't make such eye-watering gestures in front of me next time. You are a man, after all!"

She didn't know how many times she had reminded him, as a man, not to make such disgusting gestures!

But it had little effect; she couldn't get him to change at all!!

However, Yueguan was still immersed in his fantasy, occasionally showing an irritating smile on his face...

Bi Bidong covered her forehead and sighed, "Yueguan, did you listen to a word I said?"

Yueguan immediately snapped out of it and replied very respectfully, "Yes, Your Holiness, Lao Gui and I will certainly bend over backwards for you, and lay down our lives in the process!!"

Bi Bidong closed her beautiful eyes and prompted, "Alright, now that we've said all that needs to be said, you may leave."

"Oh, and remember to bring Xu Sheng to the friendly match!"

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

It was only a friendly match, not worth His Holiness's personal attendance!

Thus, this important task naturally fell to him!

...

Tiandou Empire Palace!

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and then put down the pen in his hand...

"If possible, I really wish my mentor could stay in the imperial palace, as I would likely be able to learn a lot," he said.

Having said that, he stood up and began to walk out of the palace...

However, a Title Douluo elder behind him reached out and stopped him...

He reminded him coolly, "Crown Prince, the imperial palace is currently in a critical period. If you have no pressing matters, please remain within the palace."

Xue Qinghe turned around and smiled lightly, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. However, I wish to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy now to discuss some matters with Xue Ke."

The elder, upon hearing this, did not display much emotion, and spoke with a very indifferent tone, "Hmph, I really don't know if you, as the Crown Prince, are foolish or just too bold!"

Endless hatred flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, "Please think of me as bold, senior, since the fourth prince died at the hands of these schemers after all!"

Unbeknownst to him, his expression was fully captured by the observer...

The observer couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that the Crown Prince truly has no connection to Fourth Prince His Highness's death. Otherwise, how could he show such profound hatred!"

He had been sent by Xue Ye to protect Xue Qinghe, not only as a guardian but also as a form of surveillance!

Yet over these days, he had not noticed any unusual behavior from him!!

With this in mind, he spoke up immediately, "Then it's up to you. No matter where you go, I will do my utmost to protect you!"

Xue Qinghe couldn't help but clasp his fists and say, "Thank you, senior!!"
