Chapter 2557: Reaching an Agreement_1

The council members suddenly realized. They wondered how the Chairman could possibly propose to lift the technological embargo on the Douling Empire for no reason!

Immediately, their expressions changed, and they spoke, "In that case, we have misunderstood the Chairman. His proposal to lift the technological embargo on the Douling Empire has its difficulties!"

"Indeed, we should have thought of it earlier; it's just that our minds couldn't turn that corner in time. We hope the Chairman won't mind!"

"The Chairman is truly thinking ahead. If the Spirit Pagoda causes trouble, we might really not be a match for them without using God-killing Soul cannonballs. However, with the support of the two great empires, we also have a guarantee!"

An older council member coughed before loudly saying, "So then, is there anyone who disagrees with the Chairman's proposal? I will be the first to declare: I completely agree!"

With him leading the cheers, everyone quickly expressed their opinions...

"I also agree, as long as the Chairman is considering the welfare of our federation, why reject it?"

"I trust the Chairman's judgment will not be wrong, agreed!"

Soon, they received unanimous approval...

The Chairman breathed a sigh of relief, "Since no one is objecting, then it's decided!"

Although the process was somewhat twisted, the goal was still achieved!

Now, all eyes are on what the Spirit Pagoda will do next and then devising a plan in advance!

...

Martial Soul Hall!

As the issued warrant spread to various places, it didn't take long to receive pertinent information...

Yueguan bowed slightly, with a hint of a cold smile, "Your Grace, according to the warrant we issued from Martial Soul Hall, someone has revealed clues about Xu Sheng!"

Bi Bidong, sitting on the Pope's Chair, her pinkish-purple eyes slightly narrowed, gently touched the handle of the Purple Crystal Scepter and calmly said, "Speak!"

Only then did Yueguan continue, "After escaping from Gui Mei and my hands, Xu Sheng immediately headed to the Tiandou Empire. He was originally surrounded by our Martial Soul Hall's soldiers, but the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of Tiandou Empire caused a mess!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong's expression subtly changed, "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire? I remember that's not..."

Yueguan and Gui Mei exchanged glances, then stepped forward to whisper a few words to her...

Bi Bidong pursed her lips thoughtfully, "I see, so Xu Sheng was saved by the real Xue Qinghe by sheer luck!"

Yueguan nodded affirmatively, "It should be beyond doubt!"

Gui Mei, who had been silent all this time, spoke in an icy tone, "Your Holiness, why don't I go to the Tiandou Empire Palace and deal with that kid myself?"

As a Ghost Douluo, he was naturally confident he could kill him without anyone noticing!

However, he was rejected by Bi Bidong...

"No, the imperial palace of the Tiandou Empire is full of strong Soul Masters. With Xu Sheng's talent, once exposed, he will definitely be highly valued!"

"If he is found dead within the palace, suspicions will surely fall on our Martial Soul Hall!"

Currently, the Martial Soul Hall cannot afford to openly break with the Tiandou Empire!

Gui Mei frowned and pressed, "Then Your Grace, are we just going to let that kid stay in the Tiandou Empire Palace? If we don't deal with him now, he could potentially become a major problem in the future!"

Bi Bidong hesitated for a moment before responding, "This matter, you need not worry about. I will inform the Grand Elder."

Although she had no fondness for Qian Dao Liu, she had to admit that the strength of the Worship Hall was far superior to that of Pope Hall.

...

Tiandou Empire Palace!

Snow Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire, also aware of the situation, looked at Xu Sheng with complex eyes...

The latter asked in confusion, "Crown Prince, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"

Xue Qinghe did not beat around the bush and said solemnly, "Xu Sheng, do you know? Martial Soul Hall is currently issuing a warrant for your arrest!"

Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "I see, although I guessed they would do something like this, I just didn't expect Martial Soul Hall to act so quickly!"

Xue Qinghe, with an unchanged expression, pressed on, "However, you seem to be not at all nervous!"

Through several days of interaction, she had found that this young man, who was not much younger than herself, was not only wiser than the average person!

In his behavior and handling of affairs, he even gave the subtle impression of someone who had lived the wisdom of decades!

Xu Sheng naturally answered casually, "All thanks to the Crown Prince for bringing me into the Tiandou Empire Palace. Even if Martial Soul Hall is rampant, I presume they wouldn't dare to take the risk of breaking in!"

This perfect response left Xue Qinghe silent...

She realized that she couldn't coax any useful information from him!

Rather than that, it would be better to be direct!

"Xu Sheng, can you tell me why Martial Soul Hall wants to assassinate you? If you tell me, perhaps I can help you!"

Xu Sheng didn't deny it right away but glanced around...

Because, without emitting any soul power fluctuation, the Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo were watching the two of them all the time!!

Upon seeing this, Xue Qinghe became somewhat confused...

But upon a second thought, she understood everything...

The person before her clearly knew about Porcupine and Serpent Spear protecting her in secret. His previous behavior was just a way to remind her to send them away!

Realizing this, she calmly extended her right arm and gave a light wave...

The Serpent Spear Douluo, hiding in the shadows, asked in confusion, "What is the goddess doing?"

The Porcupine Douluo propped up his chin, pondering, "That gesture, should be a signal for us to leave, right?"

The Serpent Spear Douluo said with displeasure, "Leave? Why should we leave..."

The former abruptly grabbed his arm and said irritably, "Don't ask so many questions, the goddess must have her own reasons. Besides, it's tiring for us to follow her around every day!"

Having said that, he forcefully dragged him away...

Only then did Xue Qinghe speak up, "Xu Sheng, now that it's just the two of us, can you tell me?"

Xu Sheng replied truthfully, "Yes, the reason I am wanted by Martial Soul Hall is simple: because I didn't want to join them!"

Xue Qinghe did not say a word, just stared at him intently...

Knowing that he couldn't give a perfunctory answer, Xu Sheng added, "Alright, actually, it's because my talent is too strong. Martial Soul Hall doesn't want me to join any other forces, so they want to get rid of me!"

Although it sounded arrogant, it didn't seem like a lie!

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, "So, that's the reason you didn't show your Martial Soul in front of my father?"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Yes! But, if the Crown Prince wishes for me to join the Tiandou Empire, I won't refuse!"

This unexpected statement threw Xue Qinghe off balance...

Her heart began to race...
