Xu Xin knew that Tang Yuehua might not be able to return this time, but he didn't stop her; it was her freedom.
Watching Tang Yuehua leave, Liu Erlong was also upset. She was unhappy to lose a friend, but it was just a matter of different positions. She wasn't so foolish as to do anything for Tang Yuehua.
"If you can't bear to part with it, just send a message through a ninja soldier."
Xu Xin took Liu Erlong's hand and said slowly.
Liu Erlong nodded. That was a good idea. Wasn't that how she and Dong'er did it? They would send messages even when they didn't meet.
After Tang Yuehua left, the two returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to prepare for the auction of the pills a week later.
The first auction of the Mysterious Water Pill attracted the attention of several major forces, including the Haotian Sect, which sent four major clans with single-attribute attributes to participate in the auction.
Unfortunately, the Mysterious Water Pill ended up in the hands of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, they were a large and powerful family.
This time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect learned their lesson and knew to use jade boxes instead of glass bottles for preservation.
Ning Fengzhi wanted to keep this pill for his son or daughter, just in case their innate soul power was not high.
It's never wrong to plan ahead.
The day after the elixir auction ended, Ghost Douluo arrived at the Shadow Palace.
"May I ask what brings you here, senior?"
Xu Xin looked at the Ghost Douluo in front of him and said.
"Palace Master, the Pope has come to discuss matters with you, and therefore has asked me to invite you to the Spirit Hall for a talk."
Ghost Douluo's hoarse voice came through, looking at Xu Xin with some envy.
"Oh? Does senior know what this is about?" Xu Xin asked, feigning ignorance.
He naturally knew it was a marriage alliance, but he couldn't directly show that he knew.
"I don't know either, it was just an order from the Pope."
Ghost Douluo remained silent, saying that it was best for the two of them to discuss this matter themselves, and that he shouldn't reveal too much.
The fact that Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were able to thrive shows they knew their true identities. If they had been less discerning, they might have been purged long ago after Bibi Dong came to power in the original story. At the very least, Bibi Dong's personal guards wouldn't have been the two of them.
"Alright, I will personally go to the Spirit Hall after the three of them."
After telling Xu Xin all this, Ghost Douluo left. The mission was complete, and this place was no longer his own; it was best to go back as soon as possible.
Three days later, Xu Xin left the Shadow Palace with Bi Ji.
"How does the Hall Master feel about his first time entering the Spirit Hall?"
Qian Xunji led Xu Xin on a tour of the Spirit Hall, followed by Chrysanthemum Douluo. Bi Ji followed behind Xu Xin, except that Bi Ji was wearing a mask.
"Magnificent and grand!" Xu Xin commented with a smile.
The Spirit Hall is a holy, radiant gold series, which does fit the Angel Spirit.
Xu Xin's Shadow Palace leans more towards the dark theme, which matches his martial soul.
Each has its own merits, but the Spirit Hall's architecture looks more vintage.
"Hahaha, indeed magnificent!" Qian Xunji was very satisfied with Xu Xin's words.
The two flattered each other for a while, then found a pavilion to sit down, where Bibi Dong was already waiting.
"Lord, I have invited you here today because I have a good matter to discuss with you."
Qian Xunji had a maid pour tea for the group, and then spoke to Xu Xin with a forced smile.
Taking a sip of tea, Xu Xin looked at Qian Xunji and said, "A fine thing? That would be my honor. May I ask what the Pope is referring to?"
Qian Xunji glanced at Bibi Dong and gestured for her to come closer: "My disciple Bibi Dong, we have already met the Palace Master. I would like to arrange a marriage between our families, so that our two forces can form a bond of kinship. I wonder what the Palace Master thinks?"
When Qian Xunji said these words, he was excited. His plan was about to be completed. If he succeeded, Bibi Dong would be his, and the Shadow Palace would also be his.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong blushed and dared not look at Xu Xin. At this moment, she was still an unmarried woman, so it was natural for her to feel shy.
It's completely different from the original story.
Before Qian Xunji invited Xu Xin, he had asked Bibi Dong for her opinion. He had already had contact with Xu Xin and developed a friendship with him. In addition, Bibi Dong was already tempted by Xu Xin's impressive feat of defeating the Soul Douluo.
When Qian Xunji first mentioned it, Bibi Dong shyly replied, "I will follow Teacher's arrangements."
When Bibi Dong said those words, Qian Xunji sneered inwardly, "Dong'er, don't blame your teacher later. Blame yourself for falling for someone else. You can only be mine."
"this..."
Xu Xin feigned surprise and looked at Qian Xunji in disbelief.
"Your Holiness, let's discuss this matter further. Besides, Sister Dong'er might not be willing either," Xu Xin waved his hand, refusing.
"Your Highness can rest assured about this matter. Dong'er is willing. So, does Your Highness still have any concerns?"
Qian Xunji forced a smile and looked at Xu Xin. Even though he knew this was part of his plan, Qian Xunji was still very unhappy when he said it.
Bibi Dong, standing to the side, blushed slightly and nodded subconsciously, which undoubtedly meant that she was willing.
Xu Xin didn't agree immediately. He hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "If Sister Dong'er is willing, then of course I am too."
"It's settled," Qian Xunji thought to herself.
"Haha, in that case, you and Dong'er have a good chat, I won't bother you any longer."
After saying this, Qian Xunji left with Ju Douluo, and Bi Ji also wisely left.
As everyone left, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the two of them didn't know how to start a conversation.
"How about... how about we take a walk?" Xu Xin scratched his head and said.
"Okay!" Bibi Dong nodded, blushing.
This was a rare opportunity for her to be alone with Xu Xin.
...
The news of the marriage between the Shadow Palace Master and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall spread across the continent as quickly as it could.
Upon learning the news, the major powers were filled with unease. The two strongest powers in the world had already joined forces, which made them anxious.
The Haotian Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have once again united because of this news, but this time, they seem to be putting in even more effort.
Because of this change, the borders of the two great empires remained peaceful for a long time.
Besides them, two other groups of people were also sullen upon hearing the news: "You little rascal, Dong'er, you actually stole my man! Hmph, just wait until you get back, I'll teach you a lesson."
Liu Erlong waved her fist, looking unhappy. She was clearly the first one there, no, the second one, so how could she have been first!
Dong'er is so wicked.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang and his group in the Star Dou Great Forest heard this news from the Soul Hunter team.
"The Shadow Lord, why is he the Shadow Lord?"
Yu Xiaogang looked puzzled; he still hadn't seen what the Shadow Palace Master looked like.
If he had seen him, he would definitely say: What Shadow Palace Master? He is clearly a member of the Haotian Sect.
However, no matter who the other party is, Yu Xiaogang is still very unhappy when he learns that his goddess is getting married.
My goddess got married, and I wasn't the groom...
