Chapter 347: Appreciation
Hulena returned the smile, "Your Holiness, I understand. Now that I have become the Holy Daughter, I will take up the responsibility!"
Bi Bidong nodded in agreement and said, "Mmm, I believe in you!"
Upon hearing this, Hulena also released the former, calming her emotions...
"Alright, for the time being, do not leave the academy. Concentrate on training!"
"If you encounter any difficulties in your training, you can notify Yueguan, and he will instruct you!"
Because Gui Mei was not there, Yueguan was the only one left whom she could fully trust!
Therefore, during this period, she could only ask for his help!
Everyone said in unison, "Yes, Your Holiness!"
Bi Bidong did not stay long either. After gesturing, she left the academy...
"Who would have thought that one day I would be praised by Your Holiness. This feeling of being trusted is fantastic!"
"Isn't that the truth? I used to think that Your Holiness was very strict, but now it seems that's not entirely true!"
"From now on, I must train even harder to earn Your Holiness's approval again!"
"What you all are saying are just pleasantries; what truly moved me is that Her Holiness recognized our importance to the Martial Soul Hall, although we cannot compare to the Holy Daughter!"
Looking at their expressions, Hulena also felt genuinely happy...
"Everyone seems quite happy, which has also reduced the displeasure towards us significantly!"
"Brother, Flame, don't you agree?"
Evil Moon continued the conversation, "Yes, in this way, we as the Spirit Hall Golden Generation can work together with one heart!"
Flame smirked, "I don't feel much has changed. After all, we are all working for Martial Soul City. Besides, Your Holiness hasn't really treated us differently; the resources are almost the same!"
However, he quickly added, "Still, if the atmosphere for learning and training could be improved, that wouldn't be bad!"
Taking a deep breath, Evil Moon suggested, "Then we should not delay and begin training now, striving for an early breakthrough to Soul King!"
Knowing that Xu Sheng was not dead, they were able to let go of their worries and devote themselves to training wholeheartedly!
Naturally, no one objected to the suggestion...
...
Meanwhile, His Majesty Xue Ye and his party, on their way back to the imperial palace, were suddenly stopped by Ning Fengzhi...
His Majesty Xue Ye looked over with a questioning gaze, "Sect Master Ning? What seems to be the matter?"
Ning Fengzhi stared straight ahead down the road, squinting his eyes, "Your Majesty, it seems that a lot of Soul Power Aura lingers on this road. I fear there may be an ambush!"
As for who was behind the ambush, there wasn't even a need to guess!
Xue Ye pursed his lips, "An ambush? The Martial Soul Hall?"
At this moment, Gu Rong turned to look at Du Gu Bo, suggesting, "Poison Douluo, please accompany me to check it out!"
The latter nodded, naturally having no objections...
And so, the two of them dashed off in different directions, disappearing from sight...
After they left, Ning Fengzhi again spoke with a curious tone, "Your Majesty, speaking of which, why is Poison Douluo here? Did you issue an order?"
Could it be that the former knew all along that there would be moves against Martial Soul City?
Xue Ye shook his head in denial, "I'm not clear either!"
"Although Poison Douluo is nominally working for the royal household, in reality, he only listens to that fellow Xue Xing!"
"His coming here to protect me is most likely because of his orders!"
At the same time, this also meant that there was nothing serious happening in the imperial palace!
Ning Fengzhi mused, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect that Poison Douluo's loyalty lay with Prince Xue Xing!"
However, he also knew that if the conversation continued, it would touch upon the internal affairs of the royal household!
Just then, Xue Ye also thought of something, "Sect Master Ning, since Bone Douluo suddenly left for so long, are you sure nothing happened in the meantime?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned, not expecting the other to ask such a straightforward question...
"This... Your Majesty Xue Ye, although I cannot tell you the specifics, you only need to know that the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect will always support the royal household!"
Seeing the difficulty of the former, Xue Ye waved his hand, saying, "Sect Master Ning, don't be nervous. I was just asking casually. There's no one more aware of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's loyalty to the royal household than myself!"
He certainly did not want a minor issue to cause a rift between the royal household and the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect...
So, if not speaking of it was better, then so be it!
Ning Fengzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, smiling and saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty Xue Ye. If there's a suitable opportunity, I will tell you!"
For now, it was best not to inform the royal household about the abyssal creature!
Otherwise, it might cause great chaos and panic!
While pondering, Gu Rong and Du Gu Bo had returned...
The former spoke first, "Feng Zhi, His Majesty Xue Ye, there are no ambushes ahead on the road; it is safe to proceed!"
The latter also nodded in agreement, saying, "Mhm, these auras are likely left deliberately by the people from Martial Soul City, probably as a warning to the royal household!"
After listening, Xue Ye let out a cold snort, "Hmph, to think that Spirit Hall dares to warn the royal household, how preposterous!"
Having served as the emperor of the Tiandou Empire for so many years, he was not easily frightened!
If Bi Bidong had genuinely ordered an ambush, he would have had more respect for her!
Ning Fengzhi then reminded, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, I think the reason Spirit Hall has the confidence to warn the royal household is probably that they have already absorbed the majority of the Tiandou Empire's power."
"Such growth speed is quite terrifying and must be treated with caution!"
The rest of them fell into silence upon hearing this...
Indeed, the gap between a level 4 blacksmith and a level 5 blacksmith might be just one level, but technically, they were incomparable!
Xu Yucheng stretched lazily, saying indifferently, "Now that Gu Yue has firmly secured the position of class president, let's not think about isolating them anymore!"
After all, they had become a laughingstock after losing that match!
Even though no student dared to say it to their faces, there were plenty of discussions behind their backs!
Zheng Yiran was stunned, defiantly saying, "Tch, I don't think we lost. We only lost that match because Wu Dousi was too arrogant and got herself eliminated first!"
If it wasn't for Wu Dousi, they would definitely have won!
Wu Dousi's beautiful eyes turned colder, "What do you mean by that? Are you provoking me?"
Even if she was eliminated, she had inflicted a serious injury on Ye Xinglan from the other side; if they couldn't win four against four, there was no reason to blame her!
Yang Nianxia shook his head, "We can't blame Wu Dousi. If we couldn't win the four-on-four, it's just a sign that our team coordination wasn't good enough!"
Luo Guixing heard this and also chimed in, "Mhm, we're all in the same boat now, so let's not have any infighting!"
Wu Dousi coldly "hmphed" and said no more...
