"Hmm? Master, why are we following him?"

Gu Yuena was incredibly clingy. Wherever Chi Xiu went, she followed, like a little tail.

Having only just entered the human world, she was curious about everything, her little mouth chattering nonstop. Fortunately, she was quite obedient, so Chi Xiu did not find her bothersome.

"I suppose I know him... For certain reasons, I don't think much of him."

"Then I'll go kill him."

Gu Yuena was about to rush at Yu Xiaogang as soon as she spoke, but Chi Xiu's expression changed. He quickly grabbed her soft little hand. "Why are you so impulsive? Who kills people in the middle of the street?"

Gu Yuena turned back and said seriously, "Na'er will erase anyone or anything that makes Master unhappy. Master's happiness is more important than anything."

Warmth filled Chi Xiu's heart at her words. He stroked Gu Yuena's hand. "Na'er is so good, but you don't need to do it. Whoever provokes me, I'll erase them myself."

"Alright then."

Chi Xiu nodded and silently followed behind Yu Xiaogang while holding Gu Yuena's hand.

After thinking for a moment, he reached up and removed the mask from his face, exposing his celestial features to the air.

Gu Yuena stared at him dreamily. It was this face that had moved her so deeply when they first met.

Chi Xiu put away his mask and continued following Yu Xiaogang.

Looking at the man's back, Chi Xiu thought of someone else.

The woman sitting in the Papal Hall, whose breathtakingly beautiful face never showed even the slightest smile.

At that moment, a scene that still pained Chi Xiu whenever he recalled it surfaced in his mind.

At the end of Douluo One, Bibi Dong, who had been beaten to the brink of death by Tang San, showed neither resentment nor hatred. She seemed liberated. Even when facing Yu Xiaogang, the first thing she thought to say was, "Don't look at me. I don't look good when my martial soul is possessed..."

Her expression and manner were like those of a young girl experiencing love for the first time.

Bibi Dong had originally been such an innocent girl.

Chi Xiu could hardly imagine how she had endured those darkest, bleakest days.

No one could understand her feelings. No one cared about her. She was merely a woman who had been hurt, desperately growing stronger and desperately clinging to life for a man who was not worth it. To protect Yu Xiaogang better, she endured humiliation and burdens, gave up everything, and even fell into darkness.

She had treated Yu Xiaogang as a ray of hope in her dark world, forcing herself to be strong.

But what about this man before him?

If he had truly loved Bibi Dong, then after Bibi Dong was harmed by Qian Xunji, he should have taken the initiative to investigate why. After all, love was built on trust.

Yet Yu Xiaogang merely wailed that Bibi Dong had changed her heart, then became a carefree wanderer. He soon fell for Liu Erlong after meeting her, only to abandon her again. When Chi Xiu read the novel, this scumbag's nature had made his teeth itch with hatred.

What right did he have to see Bibi Dong?

"Master, your hand is shaking."

Gu Yuena looked at Chi Xiu strangely.

Chi Xiu took a deep breath. "It's nothing. I just thought of something that nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Huh?"

Chi Xiu said nothing and hurried forward until he reached Yu Xiaogang's side.

He asked curiously, "Uncle, where are you going?"

Yu Xiaogang turned his head slightly. Seeing that it was just a little brat, he ignored him and merely quickened his pace.

Chi Xiu kept following him. "Uncle, let me ask you something. Have you ever done anything guilty in your life?"

Yu Xiaogang's body stiffened. He stopped and carefully examined Chi Xiu. "Do you know me? Or did someone send you here to ask me these questions?"

Chi Xiu shook his head and smiled. "No, Uncle. I can read faces. At a glance, I can tell that you're a hypocrite who betrays trust, thinks highly of himself, and abandons women after using them. So I came over out of curiosity."

Yu Xiaogang froze, his face turning ashen. "I, Yu Xiaogang, have a clear conscience. I have never wronged anyone in this life. Even if I did, it was because they wronged me first. Besides, what does this have to do with you? I won't pay you. Go read someone else's face."

Chi Xiu sneered inwardly. Sure enough, he was just as full of himself as in the original work.

He adjusted his strategy and followed again. "Uncle, let me read your face again. No charge if I'm wrong!"

Yu Xiaogang stopped impatiently. "Make it quick. I have things to do."

Chi Xiu nodded and smiled. "Uncle, you must be a soul master, right? Not only a noble soul master, but your understanding of martial souls must surpass that of many others. You must hold an extremely important position in the soul master world!"

Only then did Yu Xiaogang's expression ease somewhat. He took out a soul coin from his pocket and tossed it to Chi Xiu. "Extremely important would be an exaggeration, but my understanding of martial souls is indeed different from many people's. Besides, there are now examples proving my judgment. Take the money and stop following me."

He continued toward Spirit Hall while Chi Xiu stood where he was, coldly watching Yu Xiaogang's back.

"Master, what are you plotting?"

Chi Xiu took a deep breath. "Na'er, from my conversation with him just now, what do you think of this man?"

Gu Yuena tapped her pink lips with a fingertip and analyzed, "He seems extremely confident. He must be very powerful, right? Is he a Limit Douluo among humans? But I didn't sense that kind of aura from him..."

A Limit Douluo? Heh.

Chi Xiu gave a cold laugh. He did not explain in detail to Gu Yuena and simply followed again.

"Why are you following me again?"

Chi Xiu had really set himself against him today. "I'm going to Spirit Hall."

Yu Xiaogang frowned. "Where did this wild child come from? You're being utterly unreasonable!"

He quickened his pace again, as though he did not want to remain beside Chi Xiu for even another second.

Chi Xiu walked leisurely at his side. His exquisite appearance made passersby stop and stare, while Yu Xiaogang kept showing disgust, wanting only to get rid of him as quickly as possible.

More than ten minutes later, the two finally arrived at the entrance to Spirit Hall.

Chi Xiu stood some distance away.

Yu Xiaogang had likely come to Spirit Hall to ask Bibi Dong about Twin Martial Souls. But according to the normal timeline, that should have happened when Tang San was around thirty-two, when Yu Xiaogang used the token Tang Hao had given him to enter Spirit Hall successfully.

It was obvious that this time, he would return empty-handed.

The two guards at the entrance to Spirit Hall were somewhat lazy. Only when someone approached did they perk up slightly. "Spirit Hall is restricted grounds. Entry is forbidden."

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his spine ramrod straight. "My name is Yu Xiaogang. I wish to see the Pope. Please inform her for me."

The lazy guards merely glanced at him and ignored him.

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath. "I am an honorary elder of Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong can verify this. Just report it."

"Pfft, honorary elder? Then I'm a Platinum Bishop!"

One of the guards burst out laughing. The other arrogantly walked toward Yu Xiaogang. "Do you think you can casually call Her Holiness the Pope by name? Never heard of Yu Xiaogang, and never heard of any honorary elder. Get the hell out of here!"

Chi Xiu watched expressionlessly.

Yu Xiaogang frowned. "If the Pope finds out you treated me like this, dereliction of duty will be the least of your worries. You could lose your lives!"

"I'll kick you to death!"

The guard kicked at him. Yu Xiaogang retreated, and two soul rings appeared beneath him.

"A Great Soul Master..."

Gu Yuena stared blankly. This proud, confident man was merely a Great Soul Master...

"He even said there are no trash martial souls, only trash soul masters."

Chi Xiu spoke slowly, as though watching a clown.

"Huh? Then isn't he calling himself trash?"

Gu Yuena finally understood, her eyes lighting up.

"Exactly. In the end, his theory only slapped him in the face."

It was Tang San's step-by-step cheating that had made Yu Xiaogang blindly believe his theories were correct.

Without Tang San's cheating, he was nothing.

"A Great Soul Master?!"

The guard was startled. "You were putting on such an imposing air that I thought you actually had some skill. You're just a fucking Great Soul Master, so what the hell are you pretending for?! Who gave you the nerve?"

Yu Xiaogang shouted sternly, "If Bibi Dong finds out, you'll pay dearly, understand? My relationship with her is far from ordinary. It only takes a report to verify it!"

The two guards immediately released their martial souls. They were both three-ring Soul Elders.

"If you don't leave now, we'll make you pay dearly!"

Yu Xiaogang backed away in fright. If he really got beaten here, he would be utterly humiliated. His status could not be diminished in a place like this. After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiaogang angrily flicked his sleeve and turned around, preparing to abandon this trip.

Seeing this, Chi Xiu quickly went up to him.

"Do you want to go inside? I happen to be going in. How about I bring you along?"

Yu Xiaogang gave him an impatient glance. "Get lost! You're everywhere! Aren't you annoying?!"

Chi Xiu felt no ripples inside after hearing that. Yu Xiaogang's furious humiliation instead made him feel incomparably refreshed.

"Then I'll go in by myself."

After saying that, Chi Xiu walked toward the two guards.

"Spirit Hall is restricted grounds. Unauthorized people are not allowed in!"

Seeing a child approach, the guards looked even more impatient than before.

Yu Xiaogang turned around at those words.

Chi Xiu said nothing. He merely spread open his right palm. A flash of light appeared, and a dark crimson sword appeared in his hand.

The guards froze for a moment, then exchanged thoughtful looks.

A child with an exceptionally handsome appearance, and most importantly, a dark crimson sword martial soul that released threads of coldness when summoned.

Could he be...

These past few days, the Pope had been searching for a child. The entire Spirit Hall had heard of it, and everyone had even memorized his physical characteristics.

Chi Xiu stared at the martial soul in his hand.

"This sword of mine is called the Asura God Sword. Now you know who I am, right?"

"We do! We do! Please, come in!"

The two guards eagerly invited Chi Xiu inside. After all, it concerned who found this child first, and the Pope's generous reward was no joke.

Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the scene before him, unable to react at first.

Wasn't he just some wild child scamming people out of money? How could he enter Spirit Hall so easily?

Once he came to his senses, he immediately turned back.

"Wait! Little brother! I offended you just now!"

Yu Xiaogang then looked at the guards. "We're together. He knows me. He was just about to bring me inside."

One guard asked, "Then why didn't you come in with him just now?"

"I..."

Yu Xiaogang was speechless. He smiled awkwardly.

He looked at Chi Xiu again.

"Bring me inside. I'm an honorary elder of Spirit Hall and an old acquaintance of the Pope. Hurry and tell them. Say we're together."

The guard looked at Chi Xiu. "Do you know each other?"

Chi Xiu shook his head blankly. "No. He's been sneakily following me ever since I came this way. I don't know what his purpose is. Did he recognize me and want to scam the reward?"

The guards' expressions changed immediately.

Gu Yuena laughed so hard beside him that she clutched her stomach and rolled around.

"Master, you're so mean! But I like it so much!"

Chi Xiu continued solemnly, "He even impersonated an honorary elder and fabricated that he was an old acquaintance of Her Holiness the Pope. If Her Holiness finds out, wouldn't she be furious? I'm afraid even you would be implicated."

The guards swallowed.

"Scoundrel! Let's see how long you can keep pretending. Second Brother, watch this child. Everyone else, come with me and beat him up!"

"That's utter nonsense! Don't believe that kid! My relationship with Bibi Dong is special, so it's inconvenient to explain! But if she finds out you treated me like this, she'll definitely take it out on you!"

...He was still exploiting Bibi Dong's feelings for him. Although Chi Xiu was an outsider, Yu Xiaogang's character genuinely disgusted him.

"Na'er, you join them too. Just don't beat him to death. There will be plenty of time later."

"Yes, Master!"

Gu Yuena was invisible as she rolled up her sleeves and joined the guards.

Screams rang out one after another.

Chi Xiu watched coldly. He did not care about anything else. Since he had come to this novel world, he would crush everything he disliked. Strength spoke for itself, and this was his home ground anyway.

More than ten minutes later, Yu Xiaogang lay on the ground like a dead dog.

He pointed toward Spirit Hall. "I want to see Bibi Dong. Let me see Bibi Dong. She knows me..."

"You're not worthy!"

One of the guards unexpectedly voiced Chi Xiu's thoughts. He stepped forward and dragged Yu Xiaogang away, out of sight and out of mind.

"Master, he got beaten so badly."

Gu Yuena walked over and spoke.

Chi Xiu shook his head. "Someone has suffered even more than he has. His injuries can heal, but that person's wounds of the heart can never heal."

Not only that, after Yu Xiaogang learned that Tang Hao and Bibi Dong were enemies, he still chose to nurture Tang San solely to prove that his theories were correct.

How could he not have considered that Tang San would seek revenge on Bibi Dong in the future?

Their past feelings meant nothing to him, yet that woman had given everything for him.

And in the end, Tang San truly killed Bibi Dong.

In both spirit and body, Bibi Dong had suffered harm from Yu Xiaogang that could never be repaired. So no matter how miserable someone like Yu Xiaogang became, he did not deserve pity!

"Come on. Go see Her Holiness the Pope."

Chi Xiu froze. Several guards had surrounded him tightly, as though afraid he might run away.

Ah... He had only been focused on teaching Yu Xiaogang a lesson. He had not expected things to develop this far. He had not planned to see Bibi Dong like this.

Maybe he should run. These guards could not catch him anyway.

Just as Chi Xiu was about to flee, a guard suddenly spoke.

"What are you standing around for? Let's go. I don't know why, but Her Holiness the Pope has been searching for you these past few days and mobilized quite a lot of manpower and resources. We've never seen Her Holiness care so much about someone. I heard she often stares into space and smiles foolishly because of you. What exactly did you do to Her Holiness the Pope?"

Chi Xiu froze. What had he done?

As though remembering something, he gave a bitter smile.

Yet his heart ached for Bibi Dong once more.

Perhaps those words I said at the beginning let this woman, who could see no hope, glimpse a ray of light in the darkness once again.

Even a little understanding, she treasured like a precious jewel.

"Alright, take me to see her..."

Chi Xiu hid his mask away and followed the guards toward the Papal Hall, appearing as Bibi Dong had hoped he would.
