Martial Soul Hall!

Seeing Yueguan return with a face full of resentment, Gui Mei expressed some surprise, "Yueguan? How come you're back so soon? Didn't you say a few days ago you were going to that Holy Soul Village to look for another Xu Sheng?"

Even if he had rushed there desperately, he shouldn't have been able to make it in time!

Most likely, he encountered some trouble on the way and had to turn back!

Upon hearing this, Yueguan retorted with frustration, "Don't mention it, just talking about it infuriates me!!"

Seeing this, Gui Mei simply responded with a faint "Oh," and then fell silent...

This reaction darkened Yueguan's expression, and he couldn't help but rebuke, "Are you serious, Lao Gui, don't you want to know what happened?"

Gui Mei shrugged his shoulders and replied casually, "Didn't you say it made you very angry? If you tell me, it might just affect my mood too!"

Yueguan pointed at him, teeth clenched in anger, "You... I don't know if you've spent too much time with Xu Sheng, but your way of speaking is just as annoying as his!"

Gui Mei still appeared unconcerned, "So what?"

Yueguan clenched his fists, then let out a sigh...

"Actually... this time going to Holy Soul Village, I almost didn't make it back!"

In an instant, Gui Mei's gaze turned serious, "Didn't make it back?? With your strength, how could that be? Could it be that an accident happened?"

With his strength nearly matching Gui Mei's, who could pose a threat to him?

"Hmph, it wasn't just an accident, but a huge accident!"

"After arriving at that Holy Soul Village, all I saw was ruins, clearly because of the orders we gave back then!"

"As a result, not only did I fail to find Xu Sheng, but I also encountered someone I didn't want to see!"

Gui Mei stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, "Someone you didn't want to see... oh, could it be Dugu Bo the Poison Douluo? This guy should be considered your sworn enemy, right?"

He was aware of the occasional one-on-one challenges Yueguan would have with Dugu Bo!

Yueguan shook his head, "No, much more troublesome than that old poison, it was Tang Hao!!"

If it were Dugu Bo, he would pose no match at all!

But if it was Tang Hao... although it had been many years since they clashed, his strength must surely surpass his own!

Gui Mei's eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, "Tang Hao?? He was still in Holy Soul Village, why didn't you capture him and bring him back??"

Tang Hao had always been a thorn in Your Holiness's side, someone she greatly wished to eliminate!

Yueguan looked incredulous, pointing to himself, "Me? Capture Tang Hao and bring him back? Lao Gui, you must be out of your mind, the guy broke through the Title Douluo decades ago, his power is something I can't defeat!"

Gui Mei fell silent...

For Yueguan to say such a thing, it was likely that Tang Hao's strength had also reached the Hyper Douluo level!

But soon, Gui Mei noticed another key point...

"Then Yueguan, how did you manage to come back from Tang Hao? It's unlikely that he suddenly became kind-hearted, right?"

The matter of killing his wife involved both of them; to say that they were mortal enemies was no exaggeration!

Yueguan glared at him, "How could that be possible, the man wanted to make a move on me. However, because I told him something, he decided to let it go!"

"What was it??"

Although he asked, he already had a hunch deep down...

The only thing that would be of such importance to the current Tang Hao would be his child, Tang San!

Yueguan was candid in his response, "That Tang Hao claimed that we in the Martial Soul Hall had kidnapped his son, Tang San!"

"But both you and I are very clear that this was definitely not our doing, because at that time, we never even caught Tang San!"

"Thus, I suspect that it was the Grand Elder's doing, trying to shift the blame onto the Worship Hall!"

Gui Mei also understood the gist of it, "I see, so the reason he was willing to let you go was simply not wanting to waste time!"

"After all, his own son might have been captured by people from the Worship Hall, or might even be dead!"

However, Yueguan's next words directly interrupted him...

"Lao Gui, do you think... it's possible that the Worship Hall really did this? Ever since Tang San was expelled from the imperial palace, he hasn't been heard from!"

Gui Mei gave an objective response, "We can't rule out that possibility!"

"It's just that Great Offeror Qiandaoliu is so ruthless, I'm afraid he might have already torn Tang San to pieces!"

Yueguan nodded slightly, "I think so too, hence if Tang Hao finds out, he is likely to cause a huge commotion!!"

"Therefore, we should inform His Holiness the Pope about this as soon as possible, so we can prepare in advance!!"

But Gui Mei put a hand on his shoulder to stop him, saying, "Wait... Yueguan, is there anything else that you haven't told me?"

Yueguan was a bit puzzled, "Hmm?"

But he quickly remembered...

"Oh... right, besides encountering Tang Hao, there is indeed one more thing!"

Gui Mei's brows raised slightly, he had only asked casually but to his surprise, there genuinely was another matter!

Yueguan, however, slapped his hand away impatiently, "Ah, Lao Gui, it's too troublesome to talk to you about this alone here; we might as well go see His Holiness the Pope together. Then I can explain everything all at once!"

Gui Mei hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Alright!"

Relaying the information one by one would indeed be too cumbersome!

Only then did Yueguan nod and say, "Good, then I'll go see His Holiness the Pope now. Lao Gui, you go and call Xu Sheng over!"

"These matters also concern him"

...

Later, everyone, including Xu Sheng, arrived in the grand hall...

And Yueguan gave a unified explanation of the situation...

Bi Bidong pursed her lips and looked towards Xu Sheng not far away, "Xu Sheng, after hearing all this, do you have anything to say? Such as the whereabouts of that Tang San."

Since Xu Sheng and Tang San have a deep connection, maybe he knows something!

Xu Sheng just shook his head, explaining, "Your Holiness, Tang San was expelled from the Tian Dou Imperial Family's palace after I joined the Martial Soul Hall, I am also unaware of his whereabouts!"

"However, since Tang Hao is convinced that the Martial Soul Hall is responsible, it's likely not unrelated to the Worship Hall!"

No wonder there has been no news of Tang San; unexpectedly, he had been captured by people from the Worship Hall!

Just... how exactly was the boy caught?

It's unlikely that he went to the territory of the Martial Soul Hall, revealed his identity, and got himself caught, right??

Bi Bidong also did not deny it, and in a slightly gentler tone, she said, "Hmm... Indeed, if we look at the timeline, you have been a member of the Martial Soul Hall for many months, and you have always stayed in the Pope Hall, so not knowing Tang San's whereabouts is normal!!"

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "I appreciate Your Holiness's trust!"

It seemed, the earlier remarks had indeed altered Bi Bidong's attitude toward him, although it had not yet reached a level of complete trust!
