Chapter 2917: Royal Dignity_1

Tiandou Empire!

Prince Xue Xing, who had been waiting, looked at Du Gu Bo and his companion approaching and said, "Poison Douluo, you're here. Let's get ready and set off!"

Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo glanced at the soldiers from the Tiandou Empire behind him and reminded, "Prince Xue Xing, I have no objections to going to Martial Soul City now!"

"However, taking so many soldiers from the Tiandou Empire might displease the Pope."

As soon as Xue Xing heard this, his face turned cold, and he said disdainfully, "Hmph, what is the Pope to me? Since Martial Soul City is within Tiandou Empire, it should honor the royal household above all!"

Suppressing a cough, Du Gu Bo offered further advice, "Cough cough... True as that may be, there are many powerful Soul Masters in Martial Soul City. Even I may not be able to guarantee your safety, Prince Xue Xing!"

"I suggest only a portion of the Tiandou Empire's soldiers should accompany us!"

Upon hearing this, the former's expression stiffened...

The next second, he swallowed hard and said, "Since Poison Douluo you have said this, I will reluctantly agree, but not because I fear the Pope of Martial Soul Hall!"

"But to give face to you, Poison Douluo!"

Hearing these words, Dugu Yan wanted to laugh, but out of respect for the other party's status, she forcibly held it back...

Du Gu Bo also wanted to comment, but considering the other was his benefactor, he held the words at the tip of his tongue and instead changed what he was about to say, "Naturally, for Prince Xue Xing to give me such consideration demonstrates the grace of the royal household!"

Xue Xing then showed a satisfied expression...

Afterward, he turned his attention to the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire behind him and ordered, "You, half return to your quarters; the other half, follow me to Martial Soul City!"

At this command, the soldiers quickly divided into two groups; the front group stood behind Xue Xing, while the other returned the way they had come...

Du Gu Bo gave a slight nod, "Prince Xue Xing, let us begin our journey. It's best if we could return to the imperial palace before nightfall!"

Martial Soul City is far too dangerous at night!

If anything untoward happened to the former, I would have no way to explain!

Xue Xing expressed his agreement, "You're right. All soldiers of the Douling Empire, follow my command, march forward!"

The next second, the entire army began to move...

But they hadn't gone far when Dugu Yan sensed that something wasn't quite right...

She whispered to Du Gu Bo beside her, "Um, Grandpa, are we really going to walk there? Shouldn't we take a carriage?"

Even Du Gu Bo was taken aback, unsure how to respond for a moment...

"Well, I'm not sure why Prince Xue Xing wants to walk to Martial Soul City. Perhaps, to exercise!"

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes. A person like Prince Xue Xing would certainly want to display the dignity of the royal household!

How could he possibly choose to walk!

He must have forgotten!

Moreover, don't tire me out too!

Realizing this, she blinked and suggested, "Prince Xue Xing, walking to Martial Soul City doesn't quite highlight your royal status, does it?"

"I think you should be seated in a noble carriage, letting those in Martial Soul City know who is the true master of the Tiandou Empire."

Du Gu Bo was struck dumb; he had never taught her to say such a thing!!

However, upon hearing this, Xue Xing was initially stunned, then he nodded thoughtfully...

"Right, walking to Martial Soul City doesn't suit my status!"

With that realization, his gaze suddenly intensified, and he commanded, "You there, hurry up and procure me a carriage befitting my status!"

Beneath one man, above ten thousand!

Naturally, I should arrive at Martial Soul City in the most glorious fashion!!

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up as she clearly imagined herself seated in the carriage...

...

However...

Du Gu Bo glanced at Xue Xing who was sitting leisurely alone in the carriage and said indifferently, "Yan Zi, it seems your plan didn't succeed!"

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, doesn't Prince Xue Xing have any shame? Sitting in the carriage alone while making us walk!"

Du Gu Bo patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Yan Zi, it's just walking. It shouldn't be difficult for a Soul Master, right?"

Dugu Yan pouted, "Although it's not hard, I am still the renowned granddaughter of Poison Douluo. How can I be without any face!"

She also wanted to arrive at Martial Soul City in style, to let that Xu Sheng know she wasn't someone to be trifled with!!

Du Gu Bo thought to himself, "Face? I might have some stature in the eyes of these commoners, but in the eyes of the Martial Soul Hall and the various Great Sect's elites, I have no face at all!"

At this moment, Xue Xing, who was sitting in the carriage, saw that the two had stopped traveling...

He couldn't help but remind them, "Poison Douluo, what are you and your granddaughter still talking about? Hurry up and catch up."

The farther away from Du Gu Bo, the less secure he felt!

Du Gu Bo didn't say much more and nodded, "Yes, Prince Xue Xing!"

"Let's go, Yan Zi. If you have any grievances, tell your grandpa when we get back!"

Dugu Yan couldn't very well throw a fit, "Yes! Grandpa."

...

Outside Pope Hall!

Yueguan touched his chest and couldn't help but say, "Lao Gui, do you feel a bit uneasy, like something is about to happen?"

With arms crossed and gazing into the distance, Gui Mei responded gravely...

"Hmm, I also feel that way. Could it be related to that Xu Sheng again?"

Yueguan shook his head, explaining, "It shouldn't be. I've already warned him not to leave Pope Hall in the last few days, so he should be with Flame and the others now!"

He could even sense the other's presence using his spiritual power!

Gui Mei shrugged, "If Xu Sheng isn't to blame, then it must just be our imagination!"

In their view, most of the trouble that befell Pope Hall had something to do with Xu Sheng!

As long as he behaved himself, all would be well!

Just when Yueguan was about to say something, he shook his head vehemently, "No, I still need to patrol Martial Soul City."

"Who knows if some strange individual has sneaked in!!"

What he was worried about was the sudden appearance of Du Gu Bo a few days ago!

If that guy entered Martial Soul City, the whole Pope Hall would be alarmed!!

After all, he was the renowned "Poison Douluo."

Gui Mei gave him a glance and sighed, "Fine, you go. I'll stay inside Pope Hall."

Just like the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, there usually has to be an Elder guarding inside Pope Hall!

Otherwise, the Pope wouldn't be able to communicate urgent matters promptly!

Yueguan took a deep breath and without further ado, his figure sped away toward Martial Soul City...

Gui Mei withdrew his gaze, showing a trace of helplessness, "Ah, having that Xu Sheng stay in Pope Hall, it's hard to say whether it's a good or bad thing!"

He could only hope that when the other grew up, he wouldn't become an enemy of Martial Soul Hall!!
