"Teacher, in my opinion, Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect will eventually go to war!"
After hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at him encouragingly. "You mean the time isn't right yet."
Ye Xiaobao nodded slightly.
"Yes. If we rashly strike at the Clear Sky Sect, all the major soul master factions on the continent will feel threatened."
He continued, "And without the Worship Hall's support, it would be difficult for us to take down the Clear Sky Sect. Tang Hao alone can fight four or five Titled Douluo, not to mention his brother, Tang Xiao..."
He truly understood the Clear Sky Sect's strength. Eight Douluo in a single sect. Given Bibi Dong's current influence within Spirit Hall...
It would be difficult.
Bibi Dong's expression turned grave as well.
"That's right. Judging from that battle of yours, even I might not be able to defeat Tang Hao."
"Teacher, in my opinion, why not..."
By the time Ye Xiaobao returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it was already evening.
What he had not expected was to see Dai Mubai and Oscar leaving the academy right at the entrance.
"Boss Dai, Heaven Dou Royal Academy really is rich. The effects of its simulated cultivation are incredible."
"Hmph, it's nothing special."
"Hehe, Boss Dai, if I work hard at cultivating, do you think I might one day become as powerful as the Haotian Douluo and fight five Titled Douluo?"
"No. Sausages can't hurt people..."
Watching the two walk away, Ye Xiaobao fell into thought.
Shrek Academy had merged into Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He remembered that Tang San had supposedly offended Prince Xue Beng, which had prevented Shrek Academy from merging into Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Instead, it had merged into Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy.
Could it be because of him? Not only had Tang San failed to join Shrek Academy...
Shrek Academy had also been destroyed.
So it had merged into Heaven Dou Royal Academy ahead of time.
Now that was interesting...
The moment Ye Xiaobao returned home, Dong Bo immediately stepped forward.
"Young Master, you're back."
"Have Xiaoxue and the others been settled?"
Dong Bo looked troubled. "Young Master..."
Seeing Dong Bo hesitate, Ye Xiaobao asked directly, "What is it?"
Lu Xiaoxue had saved his life. He did not want anything to happen to her.
Dong Bo said directly, "Young Master, I originally wanted to arrange for Miss Xiaoxue to take charge of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but she refused. She said she did not want to trouble you, so I found them a place near the cathedral to stay."
Ye Xiaobao fell silent at once. He did not understand why Lu Xiaoxue had suddenly become so distant.
Forget it. Everyone had their own choices.
He would simply do his best to take care of them.
Seeing that Ye Xiaobao was somewhat unhappy, Dong Bo wisely stood to one side.
After a while.
Ye Xiaobao shook his head with a bitter smile.
Forget it. He should first think about how to obtain his fifth soul ring.
His martial soul's duration was too short. If the Great Sage Equal to Heaven martial soul had lasted a little longer last time, he would not have been injured so badly by Tang Hao.
But there was no hope for that rabbit's soul ring, and the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were not opponents he could handle yet.
Soul rings really were giving him a headache.
Suddenly, as if recalling something, he asked, "Dong Bo, I remember someone from the Yu Family is still alive, right?"
Dong Bo replied, "Young Master, it's Yu Tianxin. He is currently studying at Thunder Academy. He should have been dealt with long ago, but recently, all our manpower was searching for you, so..."
After hearing this, Ye Xiaobao pondered for a while. "Find someone to take care of him. I don't want anyone from the Yu Family left alive!"
He believed families should be reunited, nice and whole.
"Yes, Young Master!"
After speaking, Dong Bo reminded him, "Yu Yuanzhen has another son named Yu Xiaogang. He recently came to Heaven Dou Royal Academy along with Shrek Academy. Should we also..."
As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture.
A playful smile appeared at the corner of Ye Xiaobao's lips.
"Grandmaster... Teacher specifically told me not to touch him. But since he has come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'll have to play with him properly."
He then instructed Dong Bo, "Tomorrow, go to Heaven Dou Cathedral and prepare to take over Salas's position. I've already spoken to Teacher about this. Once you take over, that father and son will be worthless. I'll send someone to deal with them!"
Dong Bo's expression changed drastically. That was a Platinum Bishop, whose status was practically no lower than a Spirit Hall elder, and yet just like that...
"But, Young Master, what about your safety?"
At that moment, two figures emerged from the shadows of the room.
"Xiaobao's safety is naturally our responsibility. Go handle the matters Xiaobao has entrusted to you without worry."
Dong Bo looked closely and saw that the speaker was Ghost Douluo, the Second Elder of the Hall of Elders. Beside him stood Chrysanthemum Douluo, the First Elder.
He bowed. "Greetings, Elders."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded, a wicked smile on his lips.
"Looks like Spirit Hall will gain another Titled Douluo elder. Your years of following the two of us have not been in vain."
"First Elder, you jest. Everything I have today is thanks to Young Master's cultivation."
Just then, Ye Xiaobao's gaze sharpened, and flames lit up in his eyes.
"It's him!"
He continued, "Someone's coming. Elders, please hide."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo bowed at the same time. "As you command, Young Master."
In an instant, they vanished without a trace.
Not long after.
"Knock... knock... knock."
Dong Bo stepped forward and opened the door.
Ning Fengzhi stood outside with Bone Douluo behind him.
After Dong Bo welcomed the two into the room, he invited them to sit in the living room.
Ye Xiaobao also happened to come down the stairs. Smiling, he asked, "Sect Master Ning, what brings you here? Do you need something from me?"
Ning Fengzhi did not rise. Leaning on his cane, he scrutinized Ye Xiaobao, only speaking after a while.
"I never expected you to be a member of Spirit Hall."
He added, "You were also behind what happened at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and outside Shrek Academy, weren't you?"
Ye Xiaobao's expression stiffened for a moment before returning to normal. He replied calmly, "Sect Master Ning, who did you hear that from? I'm merely an ordinary student. How could I possibly have the ability to do such things?"
As he finished speaking, he had also reached the living room and sat opposite Ning Fengzhi.
He did not know where he had exposed a flaw for Ning Fengzhi to discover it.
However, even if Ning Fengzhi had not known, he still intended to pay the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a visit.
Bone Douluo's expression was somewhat unfriendly, as though he blamed Ye Xiaobao for lacking manners, but he said nothing.
Ning Fengzhi smiled lightly, looking perfectly composed.
"Young Friend Ye, since I dared to say this, I naturally have some basis for it. Some time ago, when you went missing, Spirit Hall dispatched people on a large scale to search for you. Surely you did not think you could hide that from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Ye Xiaobao understood. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth, they surely possessed an enormous intelligence network. It was not strange for them to uncover this matter.
"Sect Master Ning, my teacher and Bishop Salas are friends. Isn't it normal for Spirit Hall to help search for a disciple?"
Ning Fengzhi still wore a faint smile as he shook his head.
"Not strange. But what is strange is that the days you disappeared happened to coincide with the day Spirit Hall fought the Haotian Douluo at Shrek Academy."
After pausing, he added, "And by coincidence, I looked into it. When one of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo-level experts activated his Martial Soul Avatar, the weapon in his hand was exactly the same as your martial soul. That cannot be a coincidence, can it?"
