Chapter 3197: Rewards_1
Yueguan, who had finally grasped the situation, couldn't help but scold, "Lao Gui, how could you tell him without even giving me a heads up? Aren't you afraid of any problems arising?"
To this, Gui Mei simply responded calmly, "Yueguan, I owe him a favor!"
Yueguan was momentarily stunned, then said in a heavy voice, "A favor? He merely told you who brought out the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track technique, isn't that too much?"
Gui Mei glanced at him, "To me, a favor is a favor, no matter its size!"
Just like the Pope had once helped him, and from that moment on, he had sworn to follow her for the rest of his life!
Yueguan didn't know what to say for a while and ended up sighing, "Well, it's already been said, and it's impossible to take it back now!"
"However, let me handle things here. You follow that Xu Sheng, to prevent him from absorbing just any soul bone he comes across!"
Even though the guy is very talented and more mature than his peers, he is still just a child and cannot resist the temptation of a soul bone!
After hearing this, Gui Mei seemed to think it made sense but still subconsciously asked, "You'll be alright?"
Yueguan raised an eyebrow, "Of course there's no problem. I am a mighty Hyper Douluo, after all!"
Gui Mei didn't bother with further words, "Alright, then I'll leave this place to you, and I'll go follow Xu Sheng!"
"At the very least, if he is to absorb a soul bone, it should be a better one!"
Having said that, a dense Black Mist once again spread out from the spot, enveloping him within and his presence completely disappeared...
Yueguan, unable to understand, could only continue shaking his head, "I always feel that Gui Mei's attitude towards Xu Sheng has undergone a big change. Didn't he used to dislike him?"
"Well, let him be. The Pope didn't really intend to take Xu Sheng as a disciple in the first place!"
With that thought, he felt much less pressure...
...
Xu Sheng, who was on his way to the auction house, immediately sensed a spiritual power firmly locking onto him from behind, but there was no hostility!
He just looked back, and saw that there was no one behind him!
In an instant, he guessed the identity of the person!
He then spoke up, "Elder Gui, there's no need to hide. Come out in the open!"
As expected, as soon as these words fell, Gui Mei walked out from the shadows...
"It seems your spiritual power is even stronger than I expected!"
He himself hadn't tried to conceal his presence deliberately, but it wasn't something a regular Title Douluo could sense!
Xu Sheng wasn't the least bit surprised and casually said, "That's probably because Elder Gui didn't completely conceal his breath, right? So, what is the reason for following me?"
The former's eyes became solemn, and he answered very seriously, "It's simple, to supervise you!"
Xu Sheng, facing his serious expression, said without any change in tone, "I'm afraid that's not the only reason, right?"
The former had no intention of explaining and said, "You are the Saint Heir of the Hall of Martial Souls, and also the Pope's disciple. Naturally, you require extra attention!"
"If you were to absorb some trash soul bones unknowingly, the Pope would likely be furious!"
After a pause, he continued, "Moreover... the auction items in the auction house are extremely expensive. You probably don't have enough golden soul coins to pay, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Sheng seemed to understand something...
"Elder Gui, the reason you're doing this is because of the information I gave you about the owner of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track last time, right?"
Gui Mei, much like Yueguan, shouldn't have a favorable view of him!
Yet now, he was saying such things. There had to be a reason!
As if struck by the truth, hints of astonishment surfaced on Gui Mei's cheeks...
But he quickly recovered and attempted to sound composed, "So what if it is? I, Gui Mei, never owe anyone favors!"
"After I help you this time, we'll be even!"
He had not expected that Xu Sheng, with just a few words, had guessed his intention!
Xu Sheng sighed, "Elder Gui, actually you didn't have to do this, I told you this because I have my own objective!"
The enigmatic eyes of Gui Mei narrowed slightly, "I know!"
"But this has nothing to do with me. Since I owe you a favor, I must repay it!"
Seeing that it was impossible to make him leave on his own, Xu Sheng made a decisive decision...
"Since Elder Gui wishes to repay a favor, then please join me in entering the auction house!"
"Of course, it might cost you!"
He needed a soul bone, Gui Mei needed to repay a favor; this was the perfect solution to both needs!
Gui Mei also felt a sense of relief and said emotionlessly, "No matter, whatever the age of the soul bone, I can bid for it."
"After all, the auction house can stand firm solely because of the support of the Martial Soul Hall!"
Without any exaggeration, as long as it's an item within the auction house, with the status of an Elder of the Hall of Martial Souls, one could acquire it without spending a single golden soul coin!
The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted ever so slightly, "Then let's go, Elder Gui!"
Having said that, he proceeded towards the direction of the auction house...
Upon seeing this, Gui Mei did not conceal his form either and stepped up to follow him...
...
The Worship Hall!
Jiang Long Douluo grabbed Tang San's shoulder, his eyes sharply interrogative, "Tang San, besides Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, do you have any other similar techniques?"
Only after one has practiced Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track would they understand the terrifying aspect of this technique!
In response to these words, Tang San forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart and answered, "Jianglong Gongfeng, you flatter me too much. It was purely by luck that I could comprehend Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
The somewhat incredulous Jiang Long Douluo unintentionally released a few strands of killing intent, "Really? If you dare to lie to me, be careful or I'll tear you apart!!"
In an instant, Tang San felt as though there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood before his eyes, his legs trembling uncontrollably...
"Jianglong Gongfeng, I... I really don't know any other!"
Seeing this, just when Jiang Long Douluo was about to unleash even greater murderous aura...
Qian Dao Liu, who had been silent, sternly intervened, "Jiang Long, that's enough!"
Hearing these words, Jiang Long Douluo finally reined in his killing intent and released Tang San...
However, his gaze remained fixed on the other person...
Qian Dao Liu then turned to Tang San, reassuring him in a soft voice, "Tang San, don't mind it, Jiang Long has always been like this, straightforward and outspoken."
Upon hearing this, Tang San nodded and said, "Grand Elder, I'm not offended. It's just that I indeed do not know any other techniques apart from Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
Qian Dao Liu saw through the fact that the other party had not let down his guard and added, "By the way, I have already prepared the item I promised you last time!"
In an instant, Tang San's eyes lit up...
"Grand Elder, could it be…"
Qian Dao Liu nodded affirmatively, "That's right, you have made such a significant contribution to the Martial Soul Hall, and you should be rewarded!"
Having said that, he made a mental gesture, and the glowing soul bone floated in mid-air...
