Tang San was stunned, then clenched his fists and said, "You're right, Bear Worship. My cultivation speed is slow because I haven't been working hard enough!"

"From now on, I will cut down on my time for eating and sleeping as much as possible and focus entirely on cultivation!"

"Only then can I live up to the Grand Elder's expectations and show everyone in the Tian Dou Imperial Family just how strong I, Tang San, really am!"

Moxiong Douluo was taken aback, then reached out and patted his shoulder, encouragingly said, "That's right, Tang San, you must remember that it's our Worship Hall that gave you the chance for a new life!"

"Besides, with such resources at your disposal, as long as you train hard, you will definitely make those people who doubted you regret it!"

Feeling his blood boil upon hearing these words, Tang San replied firmly, "Yes, Bear Worship, I definitely will!"

He hadn't expected Bear Worship to proactively comfort him like this; it seemed that joining the Worship Hall had indeed been the right choice!

If that hadn't been the case, who knows where he, cast out from Moon Pavilion, would be wandering now...

However, he quickly thought of something and asked, "Right, Bear Worship, there's something I need to ask you!"

Moxiong Douluo, barely suppressing his irritation, forced a smile and said, "Tang San, if you have any questions, just ask, don't hesitate!"

Hurry up and speak, and after you do, hurry up and leave!

I've already wasted so much time on you!

Taking a deep breath, Tang San said with utmost seriousness, "It's like this, I want to ask Martial Soul Hall to help me inquire about someone!"

Moxiong Douluo frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Who??"

This Tang San must have a screw loose; I'm in this state, and he still wants to inquire about someone else!

Without a second thought, Tang San replied, "Xu Sheng!"

At those words, Moxiong Douluo's face visibly stiffened, and he stood still, murmuring, "Xu... Xu Sheng??"

Seeing the change in his expression, Tang San said excitedly, "Could it be that you know Xu Sheng, Bear Worship??"

Ever since Brother Sheng left the Tiandou Empire Palace, there had been no trace of him!

Even when asking Xue Qinghe, there had been no response!

Therefore, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on a sufficiently powerful force, Martial Soul Hall!

Snapping back to reality, Moxiong Douluo coughed into his hand and said, "Cough cough... I have never heard of this Xu Sheng!"

Tang San was confused and pressed, "But, Bear Worship, your expression just now..."

Moxiong Douluo waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry about it too much, I was just a bit surprised, that's all!"

Feeling somewhat disappointed, Tang San sighed, "I see. If you don't know, could you perhaps ask someone from Martial Soul Hall to search for Xu Sheng's whereabouts?"

Moxiong Douluo hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I'm just a guest elder of the Worship Hall; you'd better talk to the Grand Elder about this matter!"

I'd better not make decisions on my own; it's up to the Grand Elder to decide!

Having heard this explanation, Tang San nodded in understanding and said, "I get it, Bear Worship. I will go find the Grand Elder later!"

With no intention of continuing the conversation, Moxiong Douluo said, "Well then, continue with your cultivation. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

"However, if the Grand Elder asks, just say I went to deal with some affairs of the Worship Hall, understood?"

As long as this kid doesn't bring trouble onto me, he can do whatever he wants!

Tang San affirmed, "Rest assured, Bear Worship!"

...

Qian Dao Liu, who had been meditating with closed eyes, sensed a familiar presence approaching...

Slowly opening his eyes, he said indifferently, "Xiao Long, you're back, eh? How did it go??"

The efficiency of the other party was quite good!

However, given his personality, he is likely to clash with Bi Bidong!

But it does not matter, she wouldn't dare do anything rash!

Jiang Long Douluo nodded slightly, "Yes, Grand Elder!"

"I have followed your orders and specifically went to the Pope Hall to inform Bi Bidong about Tang San, and I warned her not to take any covert action!"

Qian Dao Liu showed a trace of interest, "Oh? How did she react?"

The former replied truthfully, "Bi Bidong was very angry upon hearing this and seemed to disagree with the idea of nurturing Tang San as the Saint Heir!"

"However, it's an order from you, Grand Elder, so she wouldn't dare refuse it!"

Only then did Qian Dao Liu stroke his beard and laughed coldly, "Hehe, it seems Bi Bidong still remembers who helped her secure her position as the Pope!"

Back then, Bi Bidong hadn't even reached the rank of Titled Douluo!

It was entirely with the help of the Worship Hall that she was able to consolidate her position as the Pope!

Jiang Long Douluo hesitated for a moment before cautiously inquiring, "Grand Elder, actually, we could proceed with cultivating Tang San in secret; there was no need to inform Bi Bidong, right?"

Qian Dao Liu glanced at him and retorted, "Even if we don't tell her, do you think this news won't get out?"

Jiang Long Douluo's pupils contracted suddenly, exclaiming, "Grand Elder, do you mean that Bi Bidong has planted her own pawns within the Worship Hall??"

"Damn it, how dare she do such a thing, she deserves to die, we must teach her a lesson!"

Qian Dao Liu sighed, "Jiang Long, you can't possibly be unaware of even this, can you?"

After all, being a guest elder of the Worship Hall and yet clueless about these matters!

It really is quite embarrassing!

Feeling the displeasure in the latter's words, Jiang Long Douluo quickly bowed, explaining, "This... Grand Elder, as you know, I spend most of my time immersed in battle and cultivation and know very little about the affairs of the Worship Hall!"

If he angered the other party, he would not be able to avoid a painful punishment!

Qian Dao Liu pursed his lips, "Of course I know, otherwise, do you think you could still be standing here unscathed?"

He was very clear about that!

Jiang Long and Qian Jun were always battling each other!

Sometimes they even joined forces to spar with him!

Jiang Long Douluo finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That... that's good, I knew Grand Elder was a generous and magnanimous person!"

Thank goodness, he had not provoked the Grand Elder!

Qian Dao Liu snorted without good humor, "Good that you know!!"

"However, if you think Bi Bidong has been behaving herself since becoming the Pope, you are gravely mistaken!"

She has always wanted the Pope Hall to surpass the power of the Worship Hall, covertly using various means to buy people over!

This was something expected long ago!!

Jiang Long Douluo swallowed hard, "Then, Grand Elder, you mean?"

The former's eyes were filled with intense confidence, "As long as we, the guest elders, are still here, it's impossible for Bi Bidong to gain full control of the Martial Soul Hall!"

"So, these things are not worth worrying about!!"

He had never regarded Bi Bidong highly; appointing her as the Pope was only to maintain peace within the Martial Soul Hall!
