Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Martial Soul Hall Branch.

Salas stared in shock at Bibi Dong and Luo Ling, who were behaving so intimately.

The Pope's arrival had left him exhilarated, but she had brought along a young man.

Could the Pope be looking for a pretty boy too?

Salas trembled as he stood in the hall, not knowing where to rest his eyes.

"Lord Bishop, the clothes you requested have arrived." A woman's voice came from outside the door.

A Nun entered, carrying a set of clothes.

"What are these?" Luo Ling asked in confusion.

After leaving Sunset Forest, Bibi Dong had not immediately taken him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Instead, she had first come to the Martial Soul Hall Branch in Heaven Dou City.

"Are you planning to wear that when you come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Bibi Dong shot Luo Ling an annoyed glare.

Luo Ling came to his senses and lowered his head to inspect himself.

Although he had become Spirit Hall's Holy Son, Luo Ling did not like extravagant clothes. He normally dressed in plain cloth garments.

They did not look bad, but they were indeed rather simple.

Looking at the clothes the Nun offered him, Luo Ling did not stand on ceremony. He went into another room to change.

Three minutes later, Luo Ling emerged.

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up as she looked at him.

He wore a black long-buttoned formal suit, black leather boots, and a white shirt underneath, looking every bit like a young nobleman.

Silver hair and crimson eyes were rather uncommon on Douluo Continent, making Luo Ling seem even more refined.

"What do you think, Teacher?" Luo Ling was quite pleased as well. This look was very aristocratic.

"Not bad." Bibi Dong nodded, finding it quite good too.

She turned to Salas at the side. "Salas, do not leak any information about Xiao Ling and me going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Yes, Pope, the matter concerning you and... this young friend will certainly not be spread!" Salas hurriedly nodded.

Bibi Dong gave a slight nod and said nothing more, taking Luo Ling's hand as she walked out of the hall.

Once outside Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had already changed into ordinary clothes. Her Pope's robes were far too conspicuous.

The matter of recruiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not be known by others.

As they walked down the street, Luo Ling suddenly spotted a general store beside them.

A black top hat in the display window caught Luo Ling's attention.

"Teacher! I'm going to buy a few things." Luo Ling's eyes brightened slightly as he jogged into the general store.

Bibi Dong looked at him curiously but did not stop him.

Ten minutes later, Luo Ling returned.

There was now a black top hat on his head, a monocle over his right eye, and white gloves on his hands.

Bibi Dong blinked her beautiful eyes, unable to understand what Luo Ling meant by this outfit.

"Xiao Ling, you look..."

"Don't you think this is cool, Teacher?" Luo Ling grinned.

Bibi Dong's lips twitched, but she said nothing.

Luo Ling turned to look at his reflection in the carriage window.

Black formal suit, top hat, glasses, gloves.

He recalled a novel he had read in his previous life. His current appearance was quite similar to that novel's protagonist.

Well, aside from the monocle, it was pretty similar.

Please call me Fool... Luo Ling muttered inwardly.

He had been on Douluo Continent for ten years already, and his memories of his previous life had grown somewhat hazy.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi was reviewing documents on the sect's development when hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.

The door was roughly pushed open, and the newcomer said breathlessly, "Sect Leader, something is wrong!"

"Third Elder, what is so urgent?"

Ning Fengzhi frowned.

"The... the Pope of Spirit Hall has come!" Third Elder caught his breath, then suddenly raised his head and said.

"What?" Ning Fengzhi's pupils abruptly contracted.

On the surface, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall maintained a fairly cordial relationship, but in truth, they were wary of one another in secret.

The last time he had seen the Pope of Spirit Hall had been at the Pope's enthronement ceremony. The two had barely exchanged any words. Why had she come to their door today?

"Immediately call Sword Uncle and Uncle Bone. We will go meet this Pope of Spirit Hall!" After pondering for a moment, Ning Fengzhi gave the order. He had to prepare for the worst.

"Pope, you have come from afar, yet Ning has failed to welcome you properly."

In the reception room, Luo Ling and Bibi Dong, who had waited for a long time, finally saw Ning Fengzhi arrive.

Ning Fengzhi entered with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

The first thing he saw was Bibi Dong, who had changed little from the Pope's enthronement ceremony years ago.

His gaze lingered on Bibi Dong for only a moment before shifting to the young man seated beside her.

"It has been a long time, Sect Leader Ning. You would not blame me for coming uninvited, would you?"

Bibi Dong rose to her feet and smiled faintly at Ning Fengzhi.

"Not at all. It is Ning's honor that the Pope has come."

Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands politely, then changed the subject and feigned confusion. "May I ask what important matter has brought the Pope to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"There are indeed some matters in which I hope Sect Leader Ning can assist." Bibi Dong nodded and looked toward Luo Ling beside her.

"This is my disciple, and also Spirit Hall's current Holy Son, Luo Ling."

As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, Luo Ling felt three sharp gazes fall upon him.

"This junior, Luo Ling, greets Sect Leader Ning, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo." Luo Ling bowed to the three without being either servile or overbearing.

Ning Fengzhi scrutinized Luo Ling. He could sense Luo Ling's Soul Power Level, which seemed to be around that of an advanced Soul Elder.

He looked thirteen or fourteen. At such an age, reaching this Soul Power Level meant that no one among the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's younger generation could compare.

Ning Fengzhi could not help thinking of his daughter. Her talent was clearly excellent, yet she disliked cultivation and had not even reached level twenty.

"Little Friend Luo Ling has reached the Soul Elder realm at such a young age. Your talent is truly extraordinary. May I ask what matter the Pope has come to Ning for?"

Ning Fengzhi withdrew his gaze from Luo Ling. Though Luo Ling's talent was exceptional, he was still only a Soul Elder.

Bibi Dong's visit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should have nothing to do with a Soul Elder.

She had probably only brought her disciple along to broaden his horizons.

That was what he thought, but Bibi Dong did not answer and continued looking at Luo Ling.

Luo Ling did not waste words and smiled at Ning Fengzhi. "Sect Leader Ning, it was actually I who asked Teacher to bring me here."

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback.

"I heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Method is unmatched under heaven. Teacher brought me here today for the Distraction Control Method," Luo Ling continued.

Ning Fengzhi was somewhat surprised. The dignified Pope of Spirit Hall had come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a secret technique!

He could not help glancing at Luo Ling again. It seemed Bibi Dong thought highly of this disciple.

The atmosphere fell silent for several seconds before Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Little friend, you must be joking. The Distraction Control Method is an unpassed secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. How could we casually teach it to an outsider?"

As he spoke, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo behind him both wore vigilant expressions.

Spirit Hall's dominance was known to all. Who knew whether Bibi Dong would suddenly resort to force?

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance, their gazes toward Bibi Dong filled with gravity.

The Pope of Spirit Hall was renowned far and wide. Even if the two joined forces, they did not have much chance of victory.
