I really am a Titled Douluo

Just at that moment, Ghost Charm seemed to sense something first and immediately spoke, "Your Holiness, it seems we don't need to go and inform anyone, Her Excellency the Holy Daughter and the others have already arrived!"

Sure enough, right after these words were spoken, Hulena and the others stepped into the great hall!

When they noticed that both Ghost Charm and Yue Guan were there, surprise flickered across their faces...

They then respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings to our teachers, (Your Holiness)."

Bi Bidong shifted her gaze to Hulena, "Nana, haven't I mentioned before? When outsiders are not present, there's no need for such formalities!"

She wanted to use this opportunity to strengthen her relationship with Hulena and the others, for fear they might have been lured away by Xu Sheng!

Hulena gave a slight nod, "Yes, Teacher, we will remember!"

Bi Bidong helplessly covered her forehead, silently letting out a sigh...

Every time it's the same words, yet not once has there been a change!

Oh well, let them be!

At this thought, she again spoke, "Nana, have you all come together this time to inquire about Xu Sheng's whereabouts again?"

Flame and Evil Moon kept quiet because they had already visited many times before, which could very well provoke her anger!

For this reason, having Hulena, as the Holy Daughter, speak was the safest bet.

Hulena nodded deeply, affirming, "Yes, Teacher, have you still not received any news about Xu Sheng? He and the two guest elders went to the imperial palace, and it's been several days now!"

With his long absence, they couldn't help but worry something unexpected might have happened!

Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong's expression grew visibly forlorn, "Ah, Nana, can't you come to me, your teacher, for something related to Cultivation?"

"Is Xu Sheng really more important to you than I am?"

Hulena's pupils contracted as she quickly waved her hands, "Teacher, we didn't mean that, we're just worried about Xu Sheng!"

Evil Moon hastily added, "Your Holiness, Xu Sheng is an important companion to us, but you are also our most important Teacher; the two cannot be compared!"

Even Flame could sense the underlying implication, "Exactly, exactly, Your Holiness, we absolutely didn't mean that, please do not be angry!"

Seeing their reaction, Bi Bidong knew these youngsters had misunderstood her intent...

She couldn't help but laugh lightly before soothingly saying, "It's alright, I wasn't blaming you. Xu Sheng took my place to guide your Cultivation; it's normal that you have a good relationship with him!"

Relief washed over Hulena and the others instantly...

Especially Ghost Charm and Yue Guan, who had just braced themselves for a scolding...

Luckily, it didn't come to that.

"Did... Did Your Holiness just laugh? That's quite rare!"

"How would I know? But it seems, Your Holiness holds Xu Sheng in high regard, shh, just listen, that's better!"

Hulena swallowed and then cautiously pursued, "Then Teacher, about the news of Xu Sheng..."

Bi Bidong didn't conceal anything and directly stated, "Rest assured, according to the messages that have come in, Xu Sheng is fine!"

Hulena's eyes lit up, "Teacher, do you mean you know where Xu Sheng is?"

Bi Bidong confirmed, "Hmm, at this moment, he should have just left the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect with Qian Jun and Xiao Long and might return to Martial Soul City in a few days!"

Evil Moon patted his chest, "Phew, that really scared me, I'm so glad Xu Sheng is alright!"

Flame, full of curiosity, said, "Still, why did Xu Sheng go to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect? Isn't that sect in a hostile relationship with our Martial Soul Hall?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire hall fell silent...

Everyone but Flame lowered their heads...

Flame also realized something was amiss and couldn't help but step back a little, casting a helpless look towards Hulena and Evil Moon in front...

"Evil Moon, Nana, did I say something wrong?"

Evil Moon and Hulena merely cast a meaningful glance before withdrawing their gaze...

After several minutes, it was Bi Bidong who finally spoke up to break the silence...

"Regarding this matter, once Xu Sheng returns, I will personally have him give a satisfactory answer!"

In fact, she too harbored doubts about this, but had always pretended not to care!

Until now, Flame had brought everything out into the open!

Trembling, Flame said, "I... I understand, thank you, Your Holiness!"

Having lost interest, Bi Bidong issued a clear dismissal...

"Alright, Nana, all of you may leave. Yueguan, Ghost Charm, and I have important matters to discuss!"

"Yes, Teacher, we will come to visit you another day!"

...

The next day, at the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!

Ning Fengzhi, who had released his Martial Soul, was also continuously training his spiritual power...

But as time ticked by second by second, his expression grew solemn...

Because he did not feel any indication that his soul power rank was about to break through, not even the slightest change in the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!

This made him stop involuntarily...

"According to Xu Sheng, to upgrade the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, one needs to not only work hard on enhancing spiritual power but also needs some opportunity!"

"What exactly is this so-called opportunity??"

He understood that just by training his spiritual power with the hope of upgrading the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, even until death, success might not be possible!

Chen Xin, who had been watching from a distance, couldn't help but come over...

Sighing, he said, "Feng Zhi, you've worked hard enough, why don't you take a break!"

"Also, I advise you not to take Xu Sheng's words too seriously. What useful things can a child of less than ten years old say?"

He remained skeptical about Xu Sheng's words!

Ning Fengzhi looked up at him and said word by word, "But I feel Xu Sheng probably didn't deceive me!"

"The lack of any change could also be due to my being overly impatient!"

Chen Xin, feeling helpless, turned to look at Gu Rong, who had maintained his silence behind him, "Hey, Old Bones, you should also advise Feng Zhi. He's obsessed!"

Gu Rong, finding the topic thrown at him, crossed his arms and said, "Let him try again. After all, both you and I know how many years Feng Zhi has been stuck at the Soul Sage!"

Had Ning Fengzhi been unable to break through to Soul Douluo, it wasn't certain that the Hao Tian Clan would have remained at the top of the upper three families!

Chen Xin's eyes widened in disbelief, "Old Bones, even you speak like this? Could it be that you believe Xu Sheng?"

Gu Rong shook his head and explained, "Whether we believe Xu Sheng or not is not important. What's important is that even if Feng Zhi fails, it won't do any harm!"

"Let him struggle. Who knows, a miracle might really happen?"

Although the chances were slim, if he did succeed, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous boon for the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!

It could even provide him and Chen Xin with the means to contend with the guest elders of the Worship Hall!!

Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ning Fengzhi, who showed no sign of wanting to give up...

"Alright, but Feng Zhi, be careful not to push too hard. Even if you don't succeed, Old Bones and I are here for you!"
