All Sect Members Come from Soul Hall

Jiang Shengyu did not rush Tang Ya. He brought her into Soul Hall headquarters and introduced her to some of the non-confidential arrangements within.

Watching the Soul Hall personnel coming and going before her, Tang Ya could not help imagining Tang Sect's future. How wonderful would it be if Tang Sect could one day become this prosperous? Her parents' spirits in heaven would surely be able to rest in peace.

As time passed, Jiang Shengyu led Tang Ya on a tour of Soul Hall. Just as he was preparing to take her away, Tang Ya finally made up her mind.

"Young Master Jiang! I agree!"

Her voice rang out loudly, and the Soul Hall members passing by all turned to look in their direction. Jiang Shengyu and Tang Ya instantly became the center of everyone's attention.

"Agree?"

"Agree to what?"

"I couldn't tell. Hall Master Xiao Yan likes older women?"

"This is the workplace. Is it really appropriate to talk about this here?"

Whispers like these rose among the crowd. Jiang Shengyu wore a calm smile as he looked at them and said, "Anyone who spoke just now, voluntarily deduct half a month's salary."

Everyone: "..."

No more giggling.

After docking their pay, Jiang Shengyu looked at Tang Ya again and said helplessly, "Tang Sect Master, keep your voice down. I'm still an innocent young man."

Tang Ya's mouth twitched. She did not know what to say. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head. "Sorry, I was too loud! I was just... a little excited."

Jiang Shengyu nodded. "I understand. Since Tang Sect Master agrees, things will be easy from here on. I'll have someone prepare office space for Tang Sect Master at Soul Hall headquarters. It can also serve as Tang Sect's future liaison office within Soul Hall. If Tang Sect Master needs anything, feel free to ask, as long as it's reasonable."

Listening to Jiang Shengyu, Tang Ya nodded and thanked him. "Thank you, Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Shengyu had someone attend to Tang Ya first. He wandered around Soul Hall headquarters for a while, found out where Old Hong was, then ran all the way over.

"Old Hong!" Jiang Shengyu kicked open the door and shouted.

Old Hong was holding a bowl of rice and eating when Jiang Shengyu startled him. He slapped the table and shouted:

"You brat! Why are you shouting so loudly?!"

"Your voice seems louder than mine." Jiang Shengyu scratched his head and ran over. Looking at the food on Old Hong's table, he clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Old Hong really knows how to enjoy himself. You're eating better than even me, the Hall Master."

"Cut it out! This is cafeteria food, while you have specially prepared meals." Old Hong pulled the dishes closer to himself, lest Jiang Shengyu use his not-so-clean little hands to grab food.

Sure enough, that brat Jiang Shengyu had already taken out a bowl and chopsticks from his Storage Soul Tool.

"Look at you. What kind of behavior is this?" Old Hong looked even more helpless at the sight of Jiang Shengyu holding his bowl and chopsticks, as though he had no idea how to judge him. "You're the dignified Soul Hall Master, yet you carry bowls and chopsticks around to mooch meals. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you if word gets out?"

"Other people's food always smells better." Jiang Shengyu smiled.

Old Hong asked, "What do you need from me, brat?"

Jiang Shengyu said, "My little sister lured the Tang Sect Master over."

Hearing this, Old Hong froze for a moment before asking, "The Tang Sect that supposedly once produced a god?"

Jiang Shengyu nodded.

Seeing the smile on Jiang Shengyu's face, Old Hong took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly. "Good, good, excellent! Even a sect like that has fallen into the hands of our Sun Moon Empire. What face do the Original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms have left? Hahahaha!!"

"Don't be in such a hurry to laugh. I still have something to ask of you." Jiang Shengyu watched Old Hong laugh heartily, then added another sentence.

Old Hong was in high spirits and waved his hand. "You're the Hall Master. Just say what you want!"

"Tang Sect will temporarily settle down at Soul Hall headquarters. Please pass down the order: when conducting Martial Soul Awakenings, select suitable people to join Tang Sect as well. I want all of Tang Sect's future disciples to come from Soul Hall!" Jiang Shengyu looked at Old Hong with a smile, but his tone was serious.

Hearing Jiang Shengyu's words, Old Hong gave him a long look. "Brat Shengyu, you've got quite the ambition!"

"My ambition is huge!"

Jiang Shengyu laughed. "Once our Soul Hall officially begins to make its mark on the continent and fully takes control of Martial Soul Awakenings for everyone, I want every sect disciple across the continent to be registered with Soul Hall!"

He wanted Soul Hall's control over the soul master world to surpass that of the old Spirit Hall.

When Spirit Hall had existed, there had still been the Upper Three Sects. In their Soul Hall, none of that would remain! Every sect would be handled according to the Tang Sect model: the sect leader would be a Soul Hall Guest Elder, and disciples had to be selected by Soul Hall.

Jiang Shengyu's words did not conceal his intentions or ambitions in the slightest. After hearing them, Old Hong was even more shocked by his grand blueprint. Only after a long while did he sigh and say, "You brat, at such a young age, you already have such far-reaching vision. Fine, leave the Tang Sect matter to me."

"Alright! Thank you, Old Hong." Jiang Shengyu smiled as he thanked Old Hong.

After leaving Old Hong, Jiang Shengyu found Huo Yuhao, who was conducting experiments with Xuan Ziwen. Seeing Huo Yuhao hard at work, he sighed with feeling. "You're still working even at mealtime. You're really diligent, Yuhao!"

"Cousin?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised by Jiang Shengyu's visit.

During this period, he had already figured things out at Mingde Hall. Jiang Shengyu was usually nowhere to be found as soon as it was time to eat. For Jiang Shengyu to still be here at mealtime, it definitely could not be a trivial matter!

Xuan Ziwen had the same thought as Huo Yuhao. Looking at Jiang Shengyu, he asked, "Junior Brother, what is it?"

"Ever since Yuhao arrived, Senior Brother, your attitude toward me has grown colder and colder." Jiang Shengyu looked at Xuan Ziwen and sighed helplessly.

"I've always had this attitude, alright?" Xuan Ziwen rolled his eyes at Jiang Shengyu. "If you have something to say, say it. Yuhao and I are still researching Soul Tools. Don't disturb us if there's nothing important."

Jiang Shengyu sighed and told Huo Yuhao that Tang Ya had arrived. Learning that Tang Ya had come to the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao looked stunned, but he quickly reacted and asked, "Did Cousin persuade Little Ya Jie to come?"

Jiang Shengyu nodded.

Huo Yuhao continued, "That's exactly how it should be! Shrek Academy never gave Little Ya Jie any help! The continent's number one academy couldn't even help Tang Sect rebuild! And they once rose to prominence thanks to Sea God Tang San, the ancestor of Tang Sect!"

"People's hearts change."

Jiang Shengyu smiled and sighed, then waved to the two of them. "Alright, that's all I came to say. Now that I've said it, bye."

After Jiang Shengyu left, Huo Yuhao sped up his work. Before long, he finished the part he was responsible for, then said to Xuan Ziwen, "Teacher, I'm going to see Little Ya Jie."

Xuan Ziwen nodded. "Mm, go."
