Seeing Bi Bidong still skeptical, Hulena panicked a bit and hurriedly explained, "Teacher, everything we told you is true, we haven't deceived you!"

The former slightly smiled and consoled, "Nana, I naturally believe what you said, don't overthink it!"

Even if Xu Sheng really did something, there's no way he would let Nana and the others know about it!

Only then did Hulena pat her chest and sigh in relief...

"Yes, Teacher!!"

Evil Moon covered his mouth to cough and then interjected, "By the way, Your Holiness, I heard that the gates of Martial Soul City were opened. Doesn't that mean that disciples from the upper three families are still planning to attack Xu Sheng?"

To be faced with endless assassinations every day, Xu Sheng must always be on tenterhooks; it's really not a good thing!

Bi Bidong glanced at Evil Moon and said noncommittally, "Hmm... However, you don't need to worry. With Xu Sheng's strength, those disciples from the upper three families simply can't pose any threat to him!"

"Moreover, after so many assassination attempts, those old fellows from the upper three families should have realized that it's meaningless to continue and probably have already called off the plan!"

Evil Moon paused, seemingly thoughtful, "I see. No wonder, Your Holiness, you've already penetrated the thoughts of the upper three families!"

Although a bit puzzled, since it came from Your Holiness, there must be reasons behind it...

Flame blinked and impulsively asked, "Your Holiness, are we from Martial Soul Hall going to take action against the upper three families? The things they did this time are really excessive!"

"We must seek justice for Xu Sheng, right?"

He just couldn't stand how arrogant the people from the three families were, daring to make a move in Martial Soul City!

This statement made Evil Moon's eyelids twitch wildly as he quickly scolded, "Flame, shut up, what are you talking about!"

Has this guy gone dumb from training? Saying such things in front of Your Holiness!

Starting a reckless war would only lead to disaster across the Continent!

Moreover, Your Holiness wouldn't possibly tear down the relationship with the Three Great Sects just for Xu Sheng!

Flame was still somewhat angry and retorted, "Evil Moon, where am I talking nonsense? The people from the upper three families attacked us in Martial Soul City, blatantly disregarding not just Martial Soul Hall, but also Your Holiness!"

"They should be wiped out immediately!"

Hulena too was frightened, quickly stepping in front of Flame, bowing and saying, "Teacher, I apologize on behalf of Flame, please don't mind his rudeness!"

Bi Bidong pursed her lips, "No need to worry, but this matter is too complicated, and we can't just start a war with the Three Great Sects over one person, Xu Sheng, as the casualties would be extremely grievous!"

At the Worship Hall, they would love to find some threads to impeach the Pope herself!

Then, turning to Flame, she added, "However... Flame, have you and Xu Sheng become this close?"

It's only been a few months, and you're already speaking out for others!

Keep in mind that when Xu Sheng first joined Martial Soul Hall, the one who disliked him the most was Flame!

Upon hearing this, Flame's eyes lit up, "Yes, Your Holiness, Xu Sheng not only instructs us in training but also imparts real combat experience!"

"In our hearts, he is the most trustworthy friend!"

Bi Bidong covered her forehead, feeling unusually ashamed and muttered, "Instructing in training, huh..."

Right, what am I even fretting about?

Since Xu Sheng's arrival, the instruction of the Golden Generation has almost all been his doing!

No wonder he has truly earned the sincerity of people like Evil Moon!

On reflection, though nominally their teacher, how much useful stuff have I really taught them?

At most, just provided some resources!

Evil Moon and Hulena exchanged a glance, as if they both discerned each other's thoughts…

"Your Holiness, are you feeling guilty??"

Could it be because, for the most part, it was Xu Sheng who had been guiding us??

Realizing this, Evil Moon spoke up, "Your Holiness, thanks to the precious resources provided by Martial Soul Hall, we wouldn't have had such a stable environment for cultivation otherwise!"

Hulena chimed in, "Yes, teacher, joining Martial Soul Hall was the best decision we ever made. Otherwise, we might have never become competent Soul Masters in our lives!"

Bi Bidong was momentarily stunned, a smile inadvertently forming at the corners of her mouth, "These children are so considerate, to have noticed my distress and to offer comfort proactively…"

Indeed, it had been a long time since she had felt this emotion!

With this thought, her mood also brightened considerably…

"Alright, you have been practicing at the academy for some time now, let's stop for today and rest well. If you need anything, just ask the soldiers of Martial Soul Hall!"

Evil Moon and the others immediately clasped their fists in respect and said, "Yes, Your Holiness, we won't bother you any further!"

Outside the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!

Gui Mei arrived there, his gaze intently fixed on what lay ahead…

Then, he emitted his spiritual power to sense his surroundings…

After a while, he furrowed his brows, "Hmm?? It seems that there's only the presence of one Soul Master within the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, probably Sword Douluo Chen Xin."

Could it be that Sect Master Ning and Bone Douluo have left the sect??

That's quite strange, people of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect usually stay within the sect most of the time!

But in the next second, a chilling voice filled with murderous intent suddenly erupted…

"Who dares to pry into the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?!"

"Damn, just a slight use of spiritual power and I've already been discovered. I need to leave quickly!"

Gui Mei's pupils shrank, and he was about to merge into the Black Mist to disappear…

However, an incoming Sword Qi from afar forced him to stop and retreat a few steps back…

With Chen Xin's figure now visible and recognizing the intruder's face, he narrowed his eyes, "Gui Mei, didn't expect it to be you. What brings you to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?"

Gui Mei coldly said, "Chen Xin, is this how the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect treats its guests?"

Chen Xin replied with unsparing sarcasm, "Hmph, guest etiquette? That applies to actual guests. Not instantly killing you on the spot is already showing mercy!"

Martial Soul Hall's fellow, expecting to be treated as a guest, what a joke!

The mocked Gui Mei clenched his fist tightly, "Chen Xin, aren't you being a bit too arrogant, thinking you've already won?"

Seeing this, Chen Xin raised the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, his face expressionless, "What? You don't agree? How about we settle this with a fight??"

Gui Mei was about to act, but considering the purpose of his visit, he forcibly restrained himself…

Then, he contained his Martial Soul…

"Chen Xin, I didn't come here to fight you today, but to seek justice. Better call out Sect Master Ning!"
