Chapter 1535: Dai Tianling's Invitation (Please Subscribe)_1

Dai Tianling gasped audibly and exclaimed in shock, "What! An Elder of the Sea God Pavilion? And so young too!"

As far as he knew, those who could become Elders of the Sea God Pavilion were all Hyper Douluo level experts!

No wonder he had caught the attention of his proud daughter!

With a few touches of a smile appearing on his face, he thought, "So it turns out that this gentleman is an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion; I fear I have been somewhat negligent!"

Xu Sheng replied without changing his expression, "Your Majesty jests, it is understandable given what has happened!"

This scene deepened Dai Tianling's impression of him, and he quietly marveled, "Not only is he powerful, but his temperament is also excellent. If he could be drawn into the Royal family of the Xingluo Empire, he would certainly be a great asset!"

Just then, a rosy-cheeked Dai Yun'er gently reminded him in a soft voice, "Father, Elder Xu rescued me from the hands of several Title Douluo level evil Soul Masters!"

Although she didn't explicitly state her intentions, as her father, Dai Tianling immediately understood...

Yun'er was hinting that he should keep this Elder Xu around!

With this in mind, he took a deep breath and said, "Elder Xu, since you are here, why not rest for a few days within the Star Luo Imperial Palace? This would allow me to extend the hospitality due to a guest!"

Dai Yun'er, cradled in his arms, also stared intently at Xu Sheng, her eyes full of hope as she said, "Elder Xu, please accept Father's offer."

Xu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled lightly, "This... might not be appropriate? The students from Shrek Academy are waiting for my return."

Dai Tianling stood tall and proud as he said, "There's no problem with that. You saved Yun'er, which means I owe you a favor. If you still hold me, the emperor, in regard, then please stay at the palace for a few days."

"At that time, I will personally send someone to escort the students from Shrek Academy!"

Having said as much, Xu Sheng naturally found it difficult to refuse, so he nodded and replied, "Then I shall do as Your Majesty wishes."

As for the other ministers who witnessed this scene, they were smacking their lips and quietly discussing, "I think that Her Royal Highness the Princess must have taken a liking to this Elder Xu!"

"Indeed, the man is an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion. From another perspective, he is indeed worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Shh... such talk must not be spread around. If we misunderstand, it will only bring unnecessary trouble. Perhaps Her Royal Highness simply wants to express her gratitude to Elder Xu."

Dai Tianling cast a stern look their way, which immediately silenced them...

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Dai Yun'er said softly, "Elder Xu, as I am indisposed, I must trouble you to take me to the sleeping chambers."

After finishing her words, she discreetly tossed her father a glance, as if to say, "Thank you, Father."

After signaling to Dai Tianling, Xu Sheng then carried Dai Yun'er out of the great hall...

It was only then that the curious ministers began to ask, "Your Majesty, are you really just retaining Elder Xu out of simple gratitude?"

"Your Majesty... cough cough... If I did not missee, Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to be using eye signals to communicate with you, right?"

"Elder Xu is not only handsome but also strong. If he could become partners with Her Royal Highness the Princess, it would certainly be a beautiful tale!"

Dai Tianling took a deep breath, his voice laden with emotion as he said, "That is what I'm thinking. Maybe this could even help change Yun'er's wilful ways."

Yet, he always felt a twinge of guilt...

During the days Yun'er was captured by the evil Soul Masters, she must have suffered quite a lot!

All he could do was to fulfill her wishes as much as possible...

...

Inside the hotel!

Xie Xie looked dejectedly and said, "Do you guys think something might have happened to Teacher Xu? Why hasn't he returned to the hotel yet?"

No sooner had he spoken than Wu Siduo coldly vetoed his idea, "Impossible, even the Pavilion Master can't see through Teacher Xu's strength. No soul master on the Xingluo Land could possibly harm him, not in the slightest!"

Tang Wulin agreed, "I think so too. With Teacher Xu's strength, no one can hurt him. He must have been held up by something."

Xu Xiaoyan pouted and muttered, "Humph, I actually think Teacher Xu ran into someone he fancies in the Xingluo Empire and has forgotten all about us!"

Ye Xinglan shook her head, "That can't be right. Such a beauty like Teacher Shen is right in front of Teacher Xu and he hasn't made a move. How could he be out philandering?"

Xu Lizhi grabbed a rice ball from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth before saying with puffed cheeks, "For things like this, just ask Teacher Shen directly!"

This suggestion was accepted by everyone, and they went straight to Shen Yi to ask about Xu Sheng...

To their surprise, upon hearing this matter, Shen Yi gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Sheng? He contacted me not long ago, saying that he just happened to save Her Royal Highness the Princess of Xingluo Empire and is now enjoying himself in the Star Luo Empire Palace!"

In her tone, there was even a hint of jealousy...

She could tell that what Xu Sheng said was complete nonsense. The evil soul masters had just kidnapped Princess Dai Yun'er, and the hiding place they chose was bound to be extremely secret. How could it possibly be that Xu Sheng just happened upon her!

It was definitely on purpose!

Xu Lizhi lamented, "Sss... No wonder Teacher Xu isn't returning to the hotel, staying in the imperial palace must be much more comfortable!"

Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes, "It's just uncertain whether this Princess of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Yun'er, might have special feelings for Teacher Xu!"

Xie Xie disdainfully said, "Pshaw, the whole hero saving the damsel in distress thing is just too cliché, right? What girl would actually like that nowadays?"

At most, it would be simple gratitude, not like the stories where a damsel pledges herself in return.

Ye Xinglan rolled her eyes, "Please, when you say that, you also need to consider who the hero is. If it's an outstanding man like Teacher Xu, I think any girl would fall head over heels!"

Xu Xiaoyan swallowed hard, fantasizing, "Exactly, if I were the damsel in distress, I wouldn't mind throwing myself at Teacher Xu, hehehehe!"

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie immediately clutched their chests, "That kind of talk really hurts..."

Gu Yue interrupted them, turned to Shen Yi and said, "Teacher Shen, apart from inquiring about Teacher Xu, we are also here because..."

Shen Yi glanced at her and continued, "You're planning to head to Tang Sect's headquarters, right? I've approved it; you can go at any time, but remember to return before the exchange competition on Xingluo Land, otherwise…"

Having said that, she showed a fierce expression...

A chill ran down Xie Xie's spine, he grumbled resentfully, "Why do I feel like Teacher Shen looks like she wants to devour us!"

Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes, "Don't worry, even if she's going to eat someone, it won't be us. Teacher Xu will be first, right? Teacher Shen?"

Visibly, Shen Yi's face turned utterly dark...

Gu Yue pulled her back, reminding, "Xiao Yan, maybe say less..."

Then she laughed lightly and said, "Then, Teacher Shen, we'll be heading off now!"

After saying that, the group quickly left Shen Yi's room and set out for Tang Sect's headquarters...
