"How about this, Xu Sheng, why don't you stay at the Worship Hall for a few days, and when the Bear Worship and Tang San return, I'll arrange for you to meet as soon as possible, how about that?"
Since there was no way to hide the existence of Tang San, rather than having the other party discover it, it was better to say it now to maximize benefits!
For instance, have Xu Sheng stay for a few days!
Perhaps they could obtain some more precious information from him!
Xu Sheng didn't speak, but Qianjun Douluo and Xiao Long Douluo's eyes lit up...
Staying would be great!
With Xu Sheng's guidance in cultivation, their cultivation speed would surely increase several times!
Gold Crocodile Douluo remained silent on one side...
Clearly, he felt guilty for previously speaking out of turn.....
Xu Sheng pursed his lips and chose to accept the invitation, "Very well, I shall trouble you for the next few days!"
If he didn't agree, he might never be able to meet Xu Sheng until he left!
Qian Dao Liu didn't waste words and immediately ordered, "In that case, Qianjun, Xiao Long, you will lead Xu Sheng to tour the Worship Hall!"
"Jin E, you will follow me, I have something to instruct!"
The three naturally did not dare to object, "Yes, big brother!"
Subsequently, Qianjun Douluo and Xiao Long Douluo led Xu Sheng to visit the Worship Hall...
Only Gold Crocodile Douluo and Qian Dao Liu were left in place...
The former naturally knew why the other party left him behind, and took the initiative to admit, "Big brother, I'm very sorry, I just answered for you without permission!"
"However, I still don't quite understand, didn't you say not to let Tang San meet Xu Sheng?"
Qian Dao Liu coldly looked at him...
"Yes, I did say that!"
"But didn't you see? Xu Sheng's words just now were clearly meant to give me an out."
"He knows very well that Tang San is in the Worship Hall. What would happen if we deceive him now??"
It could very well make all the effort of the past few days be in vain!
Gold Crocodile Douluo was stunned...
A terrifying thought emerged in his mind...
"I see, it's my short-sightedness, I didn't timely consider such a situation"
Qian Dao Liu withdrew his gaze, "Since Xu Sheng offered to meet Tang San, perhaps he intends for him to leave the Worship Hall!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo frowned, "But big brother, didn't you plan to use Tang San, if we let him leave..."
However, a curve appeared at Qian Dao Liu's lips, "No, we indeed cannot forcibly keep Tang San, but if he himself is willing to stay in the Worship Hall? In that case, even Xu Sheng should have nothing to say!"
Tang San has already tasted the sweetness of the Worship Hall, and knows very well that if he leaves, he'll never again have such good cultivation resources and guidance!
Gold Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath, "Hiss...No wonder, big brother, you've previously instructed us to teach Tang San seriously, I didn't expect it also had this implication"
To have been with the big brother for so long and not having detected the meaning behind his actions!
Qian Dao Liu had no intention of continuing the conversation, but patted him on the shoulder...
"Alright, that's settled. Go find the Magic Bear and the others right away and have them come back to the Worship Hall in a few days."
"Yes, big brother, I will have them return to the Worship Hall at the appropriate time!"
...
Pope Hall!
Sitting on the Pope's throne, Bi Bidong suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Yueguan below, "Yueguan, how many days has it been since Xu Sheng left?"
Moonlight replied immediately, "Your Holiness, it has been two days since Xu Sheng left!"
Bi Bidong's brows slightly furrowed, "Has it already been two days? But we have yet to receive news of Xu Sheng's return to the Pope Hall..."
Yueguan, understanding the other's concern, suddenly suggested, "Your Holiness, should we send someone to investigate the Worship Hall?"
The Pope Hall has guest elders; naturally, the Worship Hall also has people in the Pope Hall!
But since both belong to the Martial Soul Hall, neither side has ever laid things out!
Bi Bidong hesitated for a moment but ultimately refused, "No need, Xu Sheng has likely encountered some issue, that's why he's delayed, right?"
It was unclear if this response was directed at Yueguan or to reassure himself!
However, Yueguan's expression was exceptionally grave, "Your Holiness, forgive my bluntness, the Worship Hall has more control over the Martial Soul Hall than the Pope Hall, if Xu Sheng were to cooperate with the Worship Hall as he did with us previously"
"He might not necessarily betray us!"
Yet, this remark did not earn Bi Bidong's approval, but instead, her face grew colder...
"Yueguan, do you know what you're saying?"
Yueguan lowered his head but did not believe his words were wrong, "Your Holiness, I'm only stating the truth!"
"Xu Sheng is an outsider to the Martial Soul Hall, and outsiders can never be fully trusted"
Bi Bidong scolded, "Silence, Xu Sheng has been at the Pope Hall for so long, do you still not understand his character?"
"If he wanted to betray us, there would be no need to wait for this moment!"
Long before joining the Pope Hall, Xu Sheng could have sought help from the Worship Hall and the Tiandou Imperial Family, but he didn't!
This shows he is a principled person who will not easily betray!
This is also the real reason I am willing to trust him!
Yueguan dared not speak further, "Your Holiness, it was presumptuous of me!"
To what extent has Your Holiness's trust in Xu Sheng reached?
Simply expressing suspicion towards the latter would anger the former!
Perhaps, in the future, discussions about Xu Sheng in front of Your Holiness should be more cautious!
Bi Bidong took a deep breath, "Yueguan, as my right-hand man, I do not wish for you to make mistakes in this matter, understood?"
To me, Yueguan and Gui Mei are the most trustworthy people!
However, I also trust Xu Sheng and do not want slight doubts to cause discord.
!
Yueguan nodded, "Yes, Your Holiness, I will be more mindful moving forward!"
Bi Bidong then changed the topic, "Alright, where is Gui Mei? It seems I haven't felt his presence lately!"
Recently, I have been focusing on breaking through, not paying attention to the situation in the Pope Hall!
Yueguan, evidently anticipating this question, calmly replied, "Your Holiness, some issues have arisen in several branch halls recently, and Gui Mei decided to handle them personally. He didn't specifically inform you because you've been cultivating!"
Bi Bidong understood this, "I see, having Gui Mei handle it is indeed reassuring, just hope the issues are not related to abyssal creatures!"
At a time like this, any attack by abyssal creatures on the Martial Soul Hall would be unfavorable!!!
