Chapter 3350: Clues
Sea God's Island!
Outside the palace!
A number of Sea Soul Masters respectfully spoke to the maid before them, "Report, my lord, we have conducted an investigation on that Xu Sheng, who has recently gained a reputation!"
The latter showed a look of satisfaction, "Very well, what are the results?"
This efficiency was indeed faster than what she had anticipated!
In this way, she could also report the news to the Grand Elder as soon as possible!
Only then did the group continue, "Replying to my lord, we have recorded all of Xu Sheng's answers, please take a look!"
Having said that, they handed over the papers...
After receiving them, she carefully scanned every line...
Eventually, the look on her face underwent a subtle change...
There was no other reason; these answers were simply flawless!
It was as if they had been thought out in advance...
If he truly didn't come to Sea God's Island with a purpose, how could he be so well-prepared?
Moreover, to have a Titled Douluo personally guard him was too odd!
Thinking of this, she asked with an extremely serious tone, "Are you certain this child is only a few years old?"
She held profound doubts about this!
The Sea Soul Masters looked at each other and then nodded in unison...
"Yes, my lord, we have tested his bone age multiple times, and it really is consistent with his appearance. If you do not trust us, we can guarantee it with our lives!"
That Xu Sheng, without a doubt, was just a child!
The only thing they found somewhat odd was that the other party's behavior was just like that of an adult!
Seeing them staking their lives on it, the maid, even though she was reluctant to believe it, had no choice...
The facts were right before her eyes!
She took a deep breath in silence, "I understand, besides what's recorded here, is there anything else that's off?"
Upon hearing this, the leading Sea Soul Master promptly replied, "There is indeed one suspicious matter!"
The maid's eyes lit up and she pressed, "Speak!"
"Xu Sheng's behavior makes me feel like I'm interacting with an adult!"
The maid narrowed her eyes, "An adult? I see. With so many people in the world, perhaps some can use soul skills to completely disguise their appearance and bone age!"
Another Sea Soul Master, upon hearing this, blurted out, "Wait, I remembered something else. This Xu Sheng in the arena seemed to have used a soul skill called 'Imitation,' and even managed to imitate a Titled Douluo. It's said to be indistinguishable from the real thing!"
Upon hearing this, the maid's lips curled up slightly...
She had finally caught a thread of a clue. This Xu Sheng must be using that 'Imitation' soul skill to disguise himself as a child!
Unless one's strength was far above his, it would be impossible to see through the disguise!
Since that was the case, she would personally take action!
With the strength of a Soul Douluo Level, she could naturally see through him at a glance!!
Suddenly, without any warning, the voice of Poseissi sounded behind her, "What are you doing here?"
The former immediately turned around, her face full of reverence as she said, "Grand... Grand Elder!"
"Regarding those two people you mentioned earlier, I might have a clue. However, I plan to wait until I have official confirmation before informing you!"
"So, please forgive my presumption for not reporting earlier!"
Given the Grand Elder's immense spiritual power, it was uncertain whether he had heard the conversation just now, so perhaps it was best to change the story a bit.
Poseissi nodded thoughtfully, "Is that so, clues have been found already? It seems that the other party doesn't plan to hide forever!"
"Well then, I'll leave this matter entirely in your hands. Once their location is confirmed, inform me immediately!"
She still trusted the former very much!
As for the earlier situation, she didn't intend to delve into it!
The maid wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "Yes, Grand Elder, I will personally investigate tomorrow. If it's true, I will report to you at once."
The Grand Elder must know something, but she didn't plan on pursuing it with herself!
"Hmm, trouble you then. However, be careful not to engage in conflict with them,"
After a brief reminder, Poseissi entered the palace without looking back...
Only then did the maid's expression become stern, and she said coldly, "Xu Sheng, right? Tomorrow, let me personally see your true face!"
...
"Pfft!"
Gui Mei suddenly sneezed, then looked at Xu Sheng with some confusion...
"Xu Sheng, is Sea God's Island's investigation of an outsider like you really that simple? Just a few questions?"
"I always feel something isn't right. Could it be that this is just the first round?"
Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, reminding him, "Elder Gui, don't forget that you are also an outsider."
Gui Mei had no intention of dawdling and urged, "Ah, never mind all that nonsense; let's talk serious business!"
Xu Sheng also became more solemn, echoed, "Hmm... Just as you suspect, Elder Gui, I also think the investigation is too simplistic!"
"Perhaps, this is just a preliminary investigation. As long as we remain on Sea God's Island, there will likely be others who continue to come."
After all, none of the outsiders who came to Sea God's Island wanted to reveal their identities!
Most of them hid away, even never stepping onto the public stage for their whole lives!
In contrast, they were the anomaly!
Gui Mei's eyes flickered, suggesting, "In that case, won't it be too troublesome? Why don't we, or rather, you, go directly to that palace, no, wrong, speak directly with Poseissi at that palace!"
Xu Sheng shook his head, dismissing the suggestion, "Elder Gui, you're thinking too simply. That palace is extremely secretive, and without permission, if one were to go rashly, they would be killed by Sea Soul Masters without reason!"
"Of course, killing those Sea Soul Masters wouldn't be difficult, but the relations would completely deteriorate, not to mention negotiation!"
The Grand Elder Poseissi knew well the extent to which the residents of Sea God's Island were central!
If one really killed someone, no matter what their purpose, they would certainly be hunted by Sea God's Island!
Even being attacked by Poseissi herself was not out of the question!
Gui Mei, hearing this, was clearly very displeased, "Hiss... Neither this works, nor that, had I known, I wouldn't have followed you to this godforsaken place!"
"I can't get a proper sleep every night for fear of being attacked by the Sea Soul Masters!"
Seeing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but soothe him, "Elder Gui, you can be at ease, as long as we don't initiate against the residents of Sea God's Island, those Sea Soul Masters won't make a killing move!"
"At most, they would capture us and bring us to the Grand Elder Poseissi, or in front of the seven Sacred Pillars!"
What the other party said was indeed not false, as at night, they were basically on alert without any intention to rest...
Although as a Titled Douluo, he really didn't need rest!!
Gui Mei, however, crossed his arms and sneered, "If you want to comfort me, then quickly resolve this mess and return to Martial Soul City!"
"I have no desire to waste most of my time on this island!"
