After Xue Qinghe and the others left the hall, Xu Sheng looked at Bi Bidong, "Your Holiness, you wouldn't blame me for overstepping, would you?"
Bi Bidong shook her head, "Of course not. I originally planned to do that too, but you just happened to say it first!"
If the Worship Hall agrees this time, she can take the opportunity to consolidate her position!
Avoid situations like today from happening again!
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "Is that so? That's good. I was afraid my actions would interfere with your Holiness's plans."
Bi Bidong slightly lifted the corner of her mouth and teased, "My plans? Wouldn't it have affected your plans instead?"
Xu Sheng didn't retort...
After all, it was indeed his intention to lead the Martial Soul Hall to collaborate with the Three Sects and other forces!
Bi Bidong perceptively did not delve deeper and shifted the topic instead, "Xu Sheng, you previously mentioned that you got along well with the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire... no, it's Qian Renxue I still had some disbelief. Seeing today, it's truly extraordinary."
Just because of Xu Sheng's suggestion, Qian Renxue agreed without hesitation!
Even as her mother, she might not be able to achieve that!
Xu Sheng used an ambiguous tone to respond, "Your Holiness, I'm not quite sure what you mean."
Unexpectedly, Bi Bidong did not mind and continued, "Xu Sheng, do you think I am a qualified mother?"
Xu Sheng was a bit stunned, completely unprepared for her to say such words!
Especially knowing that Gui Mei was watching from the side!
"Your Holiness, you should know I come from the future, and I'm aware of most things that happened to you."
"But if I had to decide on an answer to this question, I... don't know."
The deeds of Bi Bidong naturally couldn't be called those of a qualified mother, but that too has its reasons!
Gui Mei, beside her, was dumbfounded, "My goodness, what got into Your Holiness today? Why is she babbling nonsense!"
He and Yueguan had never seen Bi Bidong in this manner!
Bi Bidong remained vacant, "Is that so? You're aware of most of what happened to me..."
As if recalling something, a hint of complex emotions surged within her...
However, she soon shook her head, "Forget it, it's all in the past."
"Xu Sheng, if I'm not mistaken, you should go see her, hurry up."
Xu Sheng nodded, "Yes, Your Holiness, I'll take my leave then."
....
Meanwhile, as Xue Qinghe and the others left the hall...
After walking a distance, their eyes focused on the magnificent building before them, along with the plaque...
Gu Rong surprisingly remarked, "Is this an academy built within the Pope Hall? It doesn't look inferior to any academy outside!"
Ning Fengzhi confirmed, "Yes, although I've visited the Pope Hall before, I didn't know there was an academy built here."
Xue Qinghe pondered aloud, "It's my first time seeing it too. Those able to train in this academy should be the talented students of the Martial Soul Hall."
"Perhaps the ones known as the Spirit Hall Golden Generation's students are inside here."
He paused and looked at Gui Mei beside him, "Elder Gui, can we look inside?"
Gui Mei furrowed his brows, initially intent on refusing...
But after some thought, letting them see would be fine!
It would be just right to showcase the Martial Soul Hall's heritage to these guys!
Gui Mei directed his gaze to the royal guards protecting them closely, "Certainly you can, but the students inside are likely in cultivation, these royal guards..."
Xue Qinghe immediately understood and ordered, "You wait here and don't do anything out of line."
The royal guards unanimously responded, "Yes, Crown Prince!"
...
Xue Qinghe and the others entered, immediately catching the attention of the students who paused their cultivation, directing their gaze...
"Isn't that... the Crown Prince of Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe, as well as Sect Master Ning from Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and Bone Douluo, why did they enter the academy?"
"Elder Gui is here too, so he must have agreed!"
"Tch, they aren't welcome here, such an eyesore!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't cause trouble for our Martial Soul Hall!"
Evil Moon and the other two remained silent, merely watching silently.....
They didn't want to have anything to do with the other party!
But that was just wishful thinking!
Because Xue Qinghe was directly walking towards them...
Then, smilingly said, "You must be members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation? I was at the last competition; very impressive!"
Hearing this, the group unanimously said, "Crown Prince compliments us too much!"
However, Xue Qinghe's gaze passed over Flame and Evil Moon, directly locking onto Hulena, "If I recall correctly, you must be Hulena, right?"
Hulena nodded, "Yes, Crown Prince."
Why does the other party know her name?
There seems to be a sense of foreboding!
Xue Qinghe continued, "I often hear Xu Sheng talk about you. Today, I see for myself; truly remarkable."
This sudden compliment left Hulena a bit baffled...
Nonetheless, her cheeks reddened slightly, and she replied, "Is that so? But compared to Xu Sheng, I'm far behind!"
Unbeknownst to her, this sudden display made Xue Qinghe's eyes grow colder...
This person indeed has a special feeling for Xu Sheng!
Thinking this, he calmly said, "Yes, Xu Sheng has Innate Soul Power Level Ninety. Anyone compared to him would pale."
Pausing, he added, "Of course, I'm not saying you're not outstanding."
Hulena was puzzled...
Did Xue Qinghe not just compliment her?
Though unsure why he's saying this now, it clearly carries a derogatory meaning!
But she doesn't want to undermine the Martial Soul Hall's prestige!
Taking a deep breath, she boldly replied, "Yes, Xu Sheng is indeed excellent. To be frank, no one present can compare to him."
"Of course, Crown Prince, don't misunderstand, as you're not a Soul Master."
Evil Moon and Flame beside her were dumbfounded, both silently gasping...
"Hiss..."
What's going on?
Nana and this Xue Qinghe, why is there such hostility towards each other?
Isn't the latter Xu Sheng's friend? Logically, it shouldn't be like this!
Behind them, Gui Mei and the others naturally had full heads of question marks...
Gu Rong couldn't help but quietly ask, "Feng Zhi, is Crown Prince provoking the other party?"
Ning Fengzhi chuckled bitterly, shaking his head, "Don't ask me, I don't know either. Qinghe has never shown such an expression."
But he should have his limits, right?
Should be... right?
Just then, Xu Sheng came walking in too...
"Didn't expect everyone to be here. Am I late?"
As his words fell, everyone's focus converged on him, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense...
