Chapter 3095: Sparring_1

Worship Hall!
Gold Crocodile Douluo rushed into the room and, seeing Qian Dao Liu lost in thought, spoke up and interrupted, "Grand Elder, something terrible has happened!"
Qian Dao Liu came back to his senses and glanced at him calmly, "What happened? To make even you this anxious!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo spoke again, "Just now, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo both returned to the Worship Hall!"
Qian Dao Liu chuckled lightly, "So they came back, so what? Is there a need for such an expression??"
But the next second, his face turned rigid...
Anger started seeping into his eyes as he said, "Gold Crocodile, what did you just say? Serpent Spear and Porcupine are both back?"
He had ordered them to protect Xue'er, and not only did they return to the Worship Hall without authorization, but both of them came back together!!
Doesn't that mean that there's no one guarding Xue'er right now!
Gold Crocodile Douluo also felt a bit of trepidation, nodding as he said, "Yes... Yes, they are right outside the Worship Hall now!"
Qian Dao Liu suppressed his anger, his voice cold as he ordered, "Have them come in now!"
If they can't give a reasonable explanation, then these two fools, prepare to bear my wrath!
"Yes, Grand Elder!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo didn't dare show the slightest defiance and immediately turned to leave...
Soon after, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo walked in cautiously...
Seeing the expressionless Qian Dao Liu, they greeted him with a fist and palm salute, "Grand Elder!"
Qian Dao Liu gave them a glance and calmly inquired, "Tell me, why have both of you returned to the Worship Hall? Could it be that you've forgotten your task?"
Feeling the immense anger contained beneath the calm, Serpent Spear Douluo hurriedly explained, "Grand Elder, please quell your anger, we most certainly have not forgotten our mission to protect the Holy Daughter!"
"It's just, there has been an issue at the imperial palace, and the Holy Daughter insisted on returning. We didn't dare disobey," he continued.
Porcupine Douluo chimed in, "That's right, Grand Elder, we were just following the Holy Daughter's orders!"
Sure enough, they knew that he would be furious!
But fortunately, they were not attacked and were given a chance to explain!
Hearing these words, Qian Dao Liu couldn't help but show a trace of surprise, "Oh?? An unexpected issue arose at the palace, and Xue'er ordered you back to the Worship Hall??"
"Explain to me the whole story. If anything is concealed, you know the consequences!"
Serpent Spear Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his forehead, and began explaining...
It took a few minutes before he finally made the situation clear...
Qian Dao Liu stroked his beard, "I see, Xue Ye arranged for a Soul Master to protect Xue'er, so you left the palace to avoid detection, is that it?"
"It seems I have wronged you!"
It must have also been after much consideration that Xue'er decided to do this!
Seeing this reaction, both Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo immediately lowered their heads, denying, "No... No, it is our fault for not conveying the message in advance, causing the Grand Elder to misunderstand!"
How could they dare to blame the former? Wouldn't that be outright suicide?
Qian Dao Liu clearly didn't mind the details, waving his hand, "All right, you must be tired from rushing back from the Tiandou Empire Palace, go and rest!"
However, Serpent Spear Douluo did not hurry to leave but summoned the courage to ask, "Grand Elder, forgive my boldness for asking, but is it really alright to just leave the Holy Daughter in the palace like that?"
To this question, Qian Dao Liu gave his own answer...
"I trust Xue'er!"
```
"Likewise, you should also trust Xue'er!"
The Serpent Spear Douluo understood, and bowed again, "Yes, Grand Elder, then we won't disturb you any further and will take our leave!"
Only then did Qian Dao Liu turn his gaze in a certain direction and casually ask, "You've probably heard what they said, haven't you, Jin E?"
The Gold Crocodile Douluo stepped inside once more and said noncommittally, "Yes, Grand Elder, I heard everything very clearly!"
Qian Dao Liu's eyes deepened, "Then what do you think about this matter?"
Without any unnecessary words, the Gold Crocodile Douluo shared his true thoughts...
"Allowing Xue'er to stay in the imperial palace by herself is indeed very dangerous!"
"But since Xue Ye has arranged for a Title Douluo level Soul Master to protect her, she must have his complete trust!"
"Perhaps, this is not a bad thing!"
Qian Dao Liu appreciated the comment, "Hmm, you think the same as I do. If it weren't for sufficient trust, why would Xue Ye make special arrangements to have a Title Douluo protect Xue'er and send the other princes to the inside of Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"However, that Xue Xing and his sidekick Du Gu Bo, they probably won't let things go!"
The Gold Crocodile Douluo snickered, "Grand Elder, since you are so worried, why don't we send someone to take care of Xue Xing and Du Gu Bo..."
Sending out a few guest elders to get rid of them wouldn't be difficult!
Qian Dao Liu was somewhat tempted, but still shook his head and declined, "No, rashly eliminating Xue Xing and Du Gu Bo might affect Xue'er!"
"But indeed, we can't let them do whatever they want. Send people to infiltrate Heaven Dou Royal Academy and secretly monitor them. If they dare to do anything excessive to Xue'er..."
"No mercy!"
Compared to the plan, he cared more about his granddaughter!
The Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly, "Alright, I will send someone to infiltrate the academy shortly. Any news, I'll report it to you!"
Getting an answer, Qian Dao Liu finally relaxed a bit and uttered, "Hmm..."
...
Outside the Worship Hall, Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged in cultivation...
Suddenly released a ripple of Soul Power...
Immediately after, he opened his eyes, looking delighted, "I've broken through, I didn't expect to make another breakthrough in such a short time, Bear Worship wasn't wrong!!"
As long as all the time is devoted to cultivation, the speed naturally isn't slow!
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Long Douluo couldn't help but smack his lips...
This kid, he really goes all out for cultivation, sometimes he even skips meals!
If he weren't Tang Hao's son, he truly would be excellent material to work with!
It's just a pity...
Thinking this, he suddenly spoke out, "Tang San, it seems your cultivation is going very smoothly, how about we have a practice match?"
Tang San came back to his senses right away, waving his hands and explaining, "Jiang Long Douluo, let's forget about it. You are a guest elder, a Title Douluo level powerhouse, and I'm just a novice. I'm definitely no match and would only suffer for nothing!"
Jiang Long Douluo rested his Coiling Dragon Staff on the ground and said again, "What's wrong with that? If you're scared, I can suppress my soul power rank to your level, and only use the First Soul Skill, how about that?"
Tang San hesitated for a few seconds and then replied, full of fighting spirit, "In that case... I will respect your wish."
It would be a good chance to understand my current level of strength!
