To Spirit Hall

When Li Chanfei heard Gu Ziyi admit it, she immediately asked another question.

"I know. They're from the Clear Sky Sect!"

Gu Ziyi did not hide it and directly stated that he knew their identities.

"So you knew!"

"Then why didn't you join the Clear Sky Sect they belong to?"

"With your one-of-a-kind martial soul and soul skills, I'm sure joining the Clear Sky Sect wouldn't have been a problem."

Li Chanfei had not expected Gu Ziyi to know the two women's identities, and she immediately pressed him curiously.

"That's different. For sect forces like the Clear Sky Sect, only members of their own sect receive better training. As an outsider, it would be difficult for me to receive genuine attention."

"But Spirit Hall is different. As long as I demonstrate enough value here, I'll definitely receive the training that corresponds to it!"

Gu Ziyi smiled faintly before giving a concise answer.

Through these words, Gu Ziyi also made her understand that he was quite a clever person.

"So they don't know the effects of your soul skills, right?"

Sure enough, Gu Ziyi's clear understanding of the situation made Li Chanfei regard him more highly.

Most people would likely choose to join the Clear Sky Sect simply because of its title as the Number One Sect Under Heaven.

There were indeed many soul masters in the Soul Master World who wanted to join the Clear Sky Sect.

However, although the Clear Sky Sect recruited outsiders, its requirements were extremely stringent.

Yet Li Chanfei understood very well that, just as Gu Ziyi had said, those who joined the Clear Sky Sect did not actually receive the attention they deserved.

The Clear Sky Sect still placed greater importance on nurturing its own people.

It was not just the Clear Sky Sect; most other sects were the same.

Only Spirit Hall was different. As long as one displayed sufficient talent, one could receive the corresponding attention.

"That's right. Before joining Spirit Hall, I never mentioned it to anyone else."

Gu Ziyi nodded.

"Why hadn't you considered joining Spirit Hall before?"

Li Chanfei asked Gu Ziyi another question.

"Because in a place like Quicksand City, there wasn't much I could learn about. I still didn't understand how powerful Spirit Hall was!"

"Only after arriving at the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital did I learn Spirit Hall's true situation, and realize that for a commoner like me, Spirit Hall was the only best choice!"

Gu Ziyi's answer was flawless.

Still, Gu Ziyi grumbled inwardly. Was there really a need to ask so thoroughly?

"Smart little brat!"

"Hold tight. I'm speeding up!"

Li Chanfei gave a seductive smile at his words. She did not ask anything further, merely giving Gu Ziyi a warning.

Whoosh—

The Blazing Fire Spirit Vulture beneath their feet immediately burst forth with even greater speed.

Several days later, under Li Chanfei's lead, Gu Ziyi arrived at Spirit City, Spirit Hall's headquarters.

Li Chanfei then directly brought Gu Ziyi flying over Spirit Hall before descending from above into the Pope's Hall.

"Your Holiness the Pope, I've brought this little brat back to you!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll return to my temple!"

After bringing Gu Ziyi into the Pope's Hall, Li Chanfei quickly found Pope Qian Xunji.

It was also then that Gu Ziyi saw Qian Xunji, the Pope of Spirit Hall.

He was a handsome blond man with an extraordinary bearing. Simply standing before him, Gu Ziyi could feel an invisible pressure.

So strong. Was this the oppressive aura of a Titled Douluo?

Or was it the pressure of the Pope?

Gu Ziyi was secretly shocked.

The Qian Xunji before him was absolutely the strongest soul master Gu Ziyi had encountered in his life.

Although Li Chanfei was already a Soul Douluo, the pressure she gave Gu Ziyi was utterly incomparable to Qian Xunji's.

Beside Qian Xunji stood a delicate, jade-like young girl, quietly waiting.

Bibi Dong?

Gu Ziyi muttered to himself, but he did not examine her closely. Instead, he quickly turned to Qian Xunji. "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Mm."

Qian Xunji gave a faint acknowledgment. For the moment, he ignored Gu Ziyi and instead looked at Li Chanfei with a smile. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. How did the investigation I asked you to conduct go? This kid isn't a problem, is he?"

He asked Li Chanfei about Gu Ziyi right in front of him, with no intention of avoiding Gu Ziyi at all.

"Everything else is fine, but this kid met two people while he was at the Soul Master Academy. They're both from the Haotian Sect!"

Facing Qian Xunji's question, Li Chanfei spoke directly.

"People from the Haotian Sect?"

"Gu Ziyi, since you know people from the Haotian Sect, why didn't you consider joining the Haotian Sect?"

"And do they know about the effects of your soul skills?"

Qian Xunji was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, then asked Gu Ziyi the same questions he had asked Li Chanfei.

"Your Holiness the Pope..."

Gu Ziyi had no choice but to repeat what he had said before.

"Haha, not bad. Those sects are all hypocrites. They only care about the disciples of their own sects. Only Spirit Hall is truly fair!"

After hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Xunji immediately laughed heartily, greatly approving of Gu Ziyi's choice.

"Oh, right, Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Not long ago, the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao appeared in the Soul Beast Forest closest to Heaven Treasure Academy. They even brought two young girls with them. They should have been those two female classmates of this kid!"

Li Chanfei then told Qian Xunji something else.

"Oh? What are those two girls called?"

Qian Xunji grew even more curious. He had not expected the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to appear as well.

"Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu!"

Li Chanfei replied.

"What?"

"Tang Yuehua?"

"Are you sure one of them was called Tang Yuehua?"

Qian Xunji rose to his feet in surprise.

He knew Tang Yuehua, but how could Tang Yuehua have appeared at an ordinary Intermediate Soul Master Academy?

"Your Holiness the Pope, is there something unusual about her identity?"

Li Chanfei asked curiously.

"She's the biological younger sister of Tang Xiao and Tang Hao!"

"I saw her a few years ago. Her grandfather brought her to Spirit Hall back then!"

Qian Xunji did not hide it and told Li Chanfei about Tang Yuehua's identity.

Naturally, Tang Chen had brought Tang Yuehua to Spirit Hall back then to ask Qian Daoliu's father for help in examining why Tang Yuehua was unable to cultivate.

Although Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had been rivals for many years, they also held mutual respect. They were opponents, but also friends in a different sense.

"Gu Ziyi, did that classmate of yours named Tang Yuehua tell you about her identity?"

Qian Xunji still found it hard to believe, so he questioned Gu Ziyi again.

"That's right. The Tang Yuehua I know is the daughter of the Haotian Sect Master. As for Bai Lu, she's Tang Yuehua's older cousin!"

Gu Ziyi had not expected Qian Xunji to know Tang Yuehua's name. After thinking about it, he saw no need to hide it and told him directly.

"So it really is her!"

Qian Xunji still found it somewhat unbelievable. The Young Miss of the mighty Haotian Sect had actually gone to an ordinary Soul Master Academy.
