After Xue Qinghe and the others left the hall, Xu Sheng looked at Bi Bidong, "Your Holiness, you shouldn't blame me for taking this step, should you?"
Bi Bidong shook her head, "Of course not, I was planning to do the same, but you happened to voice it first!"
If the Worship Hall agrees this time, I can also take the opportunity to consolidate my position!
Avoid having today's scenario happen again!
Xu Sheng pressed his lips together, "Is that so? That's good then, I was afraid my actions might interfere with Your Holiness's plans."
Bi Bidong slightly raised her lips, teasingly saying, "My plans? Aren't they actually affecting your plans?"
Xu Sheng didn't refute...
After all, it was indeed his intention to guide the Martial Soul Hall to cooperate with the upper three families and other forces!
Bi Bidong, astutely decided not to delve further, instead changing the topic, "Xu Sheng, earlier you mentioned having a good relationship with the Crown Prince of Tiandou Empire... no, it should be Qian Renxue. I was somewhat skeptical, but today it truly seems unusual."
Just because Xu Sheng spoke, Qian Renxue agreed to the proposal without hesitation!
Even as her mother, I fear I could not do that!
Xu Sheng replied ambiguously, "Your Holiness, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Unexpectedly, Bi Bidong didn't mind, continuing, "Xu Sheng, in your view, am I a qualified mother?"
Xu Sheng was a bit stunned, completely unprepared for her to say such a thing!
Especially with Gui Mei watching from the side!
"Your Holiness, you should know, I come from the future, so I'm aware of most things that have happened around you."
"But if I have to give a conclusion to this question, I... don't know."
Bi Bidong's actions naturally don't qualify as those of a good mother, but there were reasons for that!
Beside them, Gui Mei was dumbstruck, "My god, what stimulus did Your Holiness experience today to start speaking nonsense!"
Neither Gui Mei nor Yueguan had ever seen Bi Bidong in such a state!
Bi Bidong was dazedly silent, "Really? You know most of what has happened around me..."
She seemed to recall something, a hint of complex emotion stirring within her...
But she quickly shook her head, "Forget it, it's all in the past."
"Xu Sheng, if I'm not mistaken, you should still go see her, hurry then."
Xu Sheng nodded, "Yes, Your Holiness, I will take my leave now."
....
Dai Yueyan pondered, "It's a good idea, but if we only teach them basic Soul Guidance technology, the exchange students from Dou Spirit Empire will easily notice!"
"Your Majesty, there's no need for such trouble; since Dou Spirit Empire sent two Soul Masters to learn Soul Guidance technology, we can let nature take its course, they won't gain much anyway!"
"Hmm, just a year or two, they may at most learn a few basics! The foundational knowledge of Soul Masters from Dou Spirit Empire couldn't be poorer!"
"Exactly, our Xingluo Empire's Soul Guidance technology is way ahead of Dou Spirit Empire, even if we showcase vital core technologies, they wouldn't necessarily understand!"
The words were filled with strong confidence…
Dai Yueyan also nodded, "Let's do it this way, let the two exchange students work within the Soul Guide Institution, and what they learn will be up to fate!"
"Now, does anyone have recommendations regarding our Xingluo Empire's exchange student selection?"
The ministers exchanged looks, seeing the understanding in each other's eyes…
The leading minister cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we believe it's best to send students from Monster Academy to Dou Spirit Empire, and also showcase our Xingluo Empire's Soul Master power!"
Dai Yueyan couldn't think of a better choice, nodding, "Alright, you handle it then; I'll notify the Imperial Tutor!"
After all, the Imperial Tutor is the dean of Monster Academy, naturally needing his notification!
...
Days later, Xingluo Empire and Dou Spirit Empire both dispatched exchange students who met at the border…
Leading the Dou Spirit Empire's side was a Hyper Douluo, feeling the terrifying aura emanating, "I suppose you must be the Imperial Tutor of Xingluo Empire, Your Excellency Sage Dragon?"
No doubt the strongest in Xingluo Empire, even without releasing pressure, just standing there was bone-chilling!
En Ci spoke indifferently, "Correct, it is our Xingluo Empire's honor to have this exchange event with Dou Spirit Empire."
Though he said this, he showed no welcoming expression…
The Hyper Douluo forced a smile, "Your Excellency Sage Dragon jests; it should be our Dou Spirit Empire's honor. Now, without further ado..."
He nodded towards the two exchange students beside him…
They immediately understood, stepping toward Xingluo Empire's side…
Seeing this, En Ci also gestured to the two Monster Academy students…
Only then did both sides complete the student exchange steps…
Having done this, the Hyper Douluo continued, "Well then, Your Excellency Sage Dragon, we'll take our leave first, hoping this event concludes successfully!!"
With that, he led the Xingluo exchange students away…
As for the two Dou Spirit Empire exchange students, they were cautiously surveying En Ci before them, their fears hard to hide!
After all, facing an Ultimate Douluo, a finger could end them!
En Ci seemed to perceive their inner turmoil, calmly stating, "Don't be afraid; before Xingluo Empire's exchange students return safely, your lives will be protected!"
Upon hearing this, they respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Excellency Sage Dragon!"
The tension within their hearts eased somewhat…
En Ci again spoke, "During the upcoming year, you will be assigned to the largest Soul Guide Institution within Xingluo Empire, learning systematically alongside your same-age Soul Masters!"
"How much Soul Guidance technology you can master depends on yourselves!"
Upon hearing this, their expressions brightened, "Thank you, Your Excellency Sage Dragon!"
They had presumed Xingluo Empire would hide their advanced Soul Guidance technology, teaching only basic knowledge!
Unexpectedly, the result was entirely contrary to their expectations!!
"Alright, I've discussed what needed to be addressed. Follow me back to Xingluo Empire!"
...
Meanwhile, Ghost Emperor had arrived secretly at Soul Land!
Dressed in a black cloak, he gazed at a mass of black mist, appearing out of nowhere ahead, with a smile on his lips, "Abyssal Emperor, we meet again!"
From within the black mist came a cold voice, "You... are the Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Ghost Emperor didn't deny it, but instead was amazed, "I never expected Abyssal Emperor to remember me; it's truly an honor!"
Abyssal Emperor responded coldly, "Your Holy Spirit Cult failed to fulfill the promises once made..."
Even now, abyssal creatures, including himself, remain trapped in the abyssal plane...
