Chapter 124: Selfishness (Please Subscribe)_1
```
After returning to Pope Hall, Bi Bidong summoned Gui Mei, Yueguan, and Hulena out.
The matters she was about to discuss with Xu Sheng were beyond their comprehension…
Bi Bidong just looked at Xu Sheng, her Beautiful Eyes reflecting a flickering light of confusion...
Xu Sheng smiled and said straightforwardly, "Teacher, if you have any questions, just ask."
Bi Bidong gave a slight nod and asked with a serious tone, "Xu Sheng, why didn't you tell me about your second Martial Soul?"
As Xu Sheng's teacher, the fact that Xu Sheng didn't tell her about his second Martial Soul meant to anyone that he didn't fully trust her.
Xu Sheng's lips curled up as he retorted, "Teacher, let's put it this way, do you absolutely trust me?"
Although Xu Sheng and Bi Bidong were mentor and pupil, the trust between them was not as profound as it seemed. Otherwise, Bi Bidong wouldn't have asked to speak with him alone today.
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong fell silent…
After a while, she gripped the Purple-Golden Scepter tightly and slowly turned around, her tone indifferent, "Indeed, I can't bring myself to trust you. You and Tang San share a brotherly bond, and aside from Tang San, the upper three families are also enemies of the Martial Soul Hall."
"Xu Sheng, your stance has always been unclear."
She couldn't ensure that one moment Xu Sheng would be slaughtering those rebels for the Martial Soul Hall, and the next, he would betray her, Bi Bidong.
And with Xu Sheng's terrifying strength and talent, she, Bi Bidong, couldn't endure such a potentially devastating betrayal!
The Martial Soul Hall was her everything, and unifying the Continent was her greatest lifelong wish. For this, she spared no effort to plant her own daughter within the Tian Dou Imperial Family, pretending to be Emperor Xue Ye's child for years, even decades!
If Xu Sheng's betrayal could cause all her efforts to go up in smoke, she would never allow it!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng understood what Bi Bidong was worried about...
He said with a smile, "Teacher, actually, my stance is very clear. I am your disciple, but also, I am nothing more than Tang San's brother!"
"Besides, I don't believe that unifying the Continent is a bad thing."
Perhaps after the unification of the Continent, the whole Douluo World will have a brighter future than ever...
Bi Bidong's pupils contracted as she turned back to look at Xu Sheng, observing the sincerity in his expression...
Bi Bidong pursed her crimson, thin lips and said lightly, "I understand. Besides this, what was it you wanted to talk to me about earlier?"
She generally understood Xu Sheng's intention; his loyalty lay with the Martial Soul Hall, but he would not personally lift a hand against Tang San. For others, he would strike without hesitation.
Xu Sheng said slowly, "Today, Evil Moon's Martial Soul showed signs of uncontrollable murderous intent. I plan to take Lena and Evil Moon to Slaughter City."
Bi Bidong's face was resolute, "Slaughter City? You should know what kind of place that is. If something happens to Lena and Evil Moon…"
Although Evil Moon and Hulena were both adept with the sword, it wasn't so easy to kill the individuals there.
Even with Xu Sheng's protection in Slaughter City, when they faced Hell's Path, he would not be able to provide effective help.
In Hell's Path, the fallen numbered not in tens of thousands, then in thousands, yet only a few individuals had passed through Hell's Path to become a Killing God!
It was a situation of nine deaths and one life!
"Teacher, if you are worried about their safety... then... I can use soul skills in Slaughter City," Xu Sheng said.
Moreover, judging by the strength of his second Martial Soul, even within Hell's Path, he should be able to break the restrictions and use soul skills!
…
Seeing Xu Sheng come out, Hulena and the others all gathered around. Hulena asked with curiosity, "Xu Sheng, what did you talk about with the teacher?"
Xu Sheng shook his head and smiled, "Nothing much, just discussed taking you and Evil Moon to a place later on!"
Hulena's cheeks flushed, "Xu Sheng, where are you planning to take us?"
Could it be that Xu Sheng had finally seen sense? Was he ready to confront their relationship head-on?
```
Should I agree to him or not?
If I agree, would Xu Sheng think I'm just this frivolous on the surface?
If I don't, will Xu Sheng never pay attention to me again?
Evil Moon looked at Hulena's face that had turned rosy in an instant, his mind full of question marks, and exclaimed in astonishment, "?? No way, my little sister, what part of Xu Sheng's words made you blush?"
If that's what Xu Sheng meant, then isn't he saying he will go too?
So what on earth is his sister imagining, all that messy stuff?
Or, has the sister already ignored her own brother??
Thinking of this, Evil Moon's face darkened considerably...
Flame said discontentedly, "What about me, Xu Sheng? Why do the three of you get to go and leave me behind in the Martial Soul Hall?"
"That place, if you're not careful, you'll get killed. Are you sure you want to go?" Xu Sheng, with his eyes fixed on Flame, said these words with a chillingly cold tone.
If Flame wanted to go, he wouldn't stop him, but if something bad happened, it was on him.
Seeing Xu Sheng looking so cold, Flame shrank back silently and muttered to himself, "Hiss... If I'm not allowed, then I'm not. Why say it so terrifyingly?"
Ever since he witnessed Xu Sheng's terrifying strength today, he would avoid conflicts whenever he could, because if Xu Sheng started something with him...
Even His Holiness the Pope probably couldn't stop it!
Better to be cautious, better to be cautious.
Hulena thought Xu Sheng was just joking with Flame and covered her mouth, chuckling lightly, "Flame, why are you such a coward..."
Evil Moon glanced at Flame, "When has he ever been brave?"
Flame glared at Evil Moon furiously, "Evil Moon, are you looking for a duel? I'll make you kneel and call me daddy today."
Wait, if that's the case, wouldn't it mean if I win, I'll also be Hulena's dad?
Fuck, I'm screwed!!
Sure enough, Flame's glance at Hulena was met with a chilling look...
Which made Flame shiver unconsciously...
However, Evil Moon, who did not catch the implication, disdainfully said, "Fight with me? You're not worthy. Don't you remember who was the one lying on the ground last time, begging not to be hit?"
Flame said angrily, "You..."
Xu Sheng spoke coldly, "Evil Moon, Lena, what I just said is true. That place, one careless moment can cost you your life, it's also a haven for slaughter..."
Suddenly, the word that came to both Hulena and Evil Moon's minds after reacting to this statement was one!
Slaughter City!
Their faces turned pale immediately, "Xu Sheng, you're not planning to take us to Slaughter City, are you?"
That place, even our teacher almost perished there back in the day!
One can only imagine how difficult it must be!
Xu Sheng revealed a gentle smile and said, "Yes, the Killing God Domain there can help Evil Moon control the bloodthirsty nature of his Martial Soul and prevent it from going berserk..."
Okay, the actual reason he was doing this...
Was also because he had his own selfish motives.
