First Arrival in Heaven Dou City, Platinum Bishop Salas

First Arrival in Heaven Dou City, Platinum Bishop Salas

Early in the morning, when Han Li opened his eyes, the little town outside had already awakened as well.

After washing up and eating breakfast, the luxurious carriage slowly rolled out of the townspeople's sight amid their envious gazes, heading all the way toward Notting City.

Two days later, the carriage drove directly into the City Lord Manor. After staying there for most of the day, it set off once more, this time toward Heaven Dou City.

Only after the carriage had left did news spread that the owner of that extravagantly luxurious vehicle was Young Master Han, who had been taken as a disciple by an important figure from Spirit Hall a year ago. He had returned this time specifically to visit the City Lord.

Inside the carriage, Broad Hill glanced at Han Li, who had started reading again, and said softly, "You could have stayed a few more days."

Han Li put away his book and smiled. "There was no need, Master. I only came back to see Uncle Xiao. It had been so long since we last met. Besides, didn't I go home too? That was enough."

"By the way, why didn't you leave anything for that boy from the City Lord's family? I thought you two were on good terms." Broad Hill asked curiously.

"You mean Chen Yu Ge? It's not that I didn't want to give him anything. Uncle Xiao had already made arrangements for him. His talent is poor, and he doesn't much like cultivation either. In a few years, he'll probably take over the City Lord Manor's business. I asked both Uncle Xiao and Chen Yu Ge what they wanted, then gave his share to another child in Uncle Xiao's family." Han Li honestly explained the situation.

"Is the other child very talented?" Broad Hill asked casually.

"Mm. Innate rank four, with a benign martial soul mutation. That's considered pretty good in Notting City. He's studying at Barak Academy now," Han Li replied.

"Oh." The moment Broad Hill heard that, he immediately lost interest.

Han Li did not mind Broad Hill's attitude. He knew that was simply his temperament and continued reading the unfinished book.

This time, he had not left Xiao Zhan with many things. He had only helped the two adjust their bodies and left behind some ordinary cultivation resources. Other than that, he had left a letter. In it, he adjusted the cultivation plan he had prepared for Tao Ge according to Tao Ge's martial soul and left word for the other Xiao Family brother to go find him in Spirit City after graduation.

Neither of them belonged to Spirit Hall, so there were certain things he could not reveal to outsiders on his own initiative. He could only take a roundabout approach.

After nearly another ten days on the road, the three of them finally arrived within Heaven Dou City's borders.

This journey had truly been too long. Even with how comfortable the carriage was, all three of them were somewhat exhausted.

Upon arriving in Heaven Dou City, they headed straight to Spirit Hall. They did not even attend Salas's welcoming banquet. After casually eating something, they plunged into their rooms and collapsed onto their beds.

Han Li slept until ten the next morning before finally feeling alive again. When he left his room, a guard informed him that Light Plume Crown and Bishop Salas were in the reception hall. He simply headed over there.

"Master, greetings, Bishop Salas."

After the guard led him into the reception hall, Han Li took the initiative to salute him.

"No need for such ceremony. Seeing you in person is better than hearing about you a hundred times. You must be Han Li, Elder's disciple. Today, I've finally met the real person. Back then, I personally handled the relevant intelligence."

Salas spoke warmly, casually bringing up what he had done more than a year ago without making it seem deliberate.

Han Li froze for a moment, then quickly understood what he meant. With a grateful expression, he bowed again.

"Then I must thank Bishop once more. If not for your fair judgment, I would never have met my master."

"Hahaha, perhaps it was fate."

Seeing that Han Li had understood his meaning so quickly and was willing to accept this favor, Salas laughed heartily.

Only Broad Hill curled his lips disdainfully at the side, looking at Salas as though he were an idiot.

He knew his disciple better than anyone. For Han Li to show his emotions so openly before someone he had just met, he was obviously planning to make use of the man—and it would only be a one-time use.

On the way here, he had already told Han Li everything about Salas's background, practically turning the man inside out. If Han Li truly managed to become friends with him, Broad Hill would write his own name backward.

And now, he finally understood why Bibi Dong had come looking for him back then. So this fellow had sent letters to both sides. He had seen Broad Hill's name and still dared report it to Pope's Hall at the same time. Salas was a fence-sitter. Broad Hill hated people like that most. He would make him pay for it someday.

Meanwhile, Han Li's emotions were half genuine and half false. Salas had indeed helped him back then, but he had no intention of truly owing him anything. Maintaining a good relationship on the surface was enough. If Salas wanted Han Li's help, that was impossible.

Moreover, Salas's earlier actions showed that he merely wanted to use Han Li as a stepping stone. Unfortunately, he was bound to be disappointed. Broad Hill's assessment of him on the road had already made the final outcome clear.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Salas, bring over a topographical map. Mm, bring a layout map of the city too. Preferably one marked with the various factions."

Broad Hill interrupted the exchange between the two "social experts," turned to Salas, and gave the order directly.

"Yes, Fifth Elder."

Salas agreed decisively, but he did not leave right away. Instead, he continued, "Other than that, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No need. What I mentioned just now will be enough." Broad Hill waved him off.

"Oh, right. Seal off the news as much as possible. Don't let anyone come disturb us," Broad Hill added.

"Of course. The news has already been sealed off. Before you leave, no information regarding either of you will get out," Salas replied, patting his chest.

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, glanced at Han Li, then quietly approached Broad Hill. He used Soul Power to isolate the space around them and asked in a low voice, "My lord, should we also conceal news of your arrival from Her Highness? And should I contact her in advance?"

That question struck directly at Broad Hill's sore spot.

Broad Hill had been pondering this very issue throughout the journey. Before setting out this time, he had never planned to come to Heaven Dou City, so he naturally had not thought much about it.

But now that he was here, he definitely had to pay Little Snow Princess a visit. However, he had not sought Qian Daoliu's permission beforehand, and he did not know whether he should tell Han Li about Qian Renxue. After all, it involved the former Pope's disgraceful history.

Broad Hill glanced at Han Li standing nearby and thought about it. In the end, he decided not to mention it for now. There was no benefit for Xiao Li in knowing about this.

Thus, he looked at Salas and instructed, "There's no need to hide it from Her Highness. Send word to her and tell her I'll pay a secret visit tonight."

"Yes."

Afterward, Salas took the initiative to remove the Soul Power barrier. After exchanging farewells once more, he left the reception hall to prepare the things Broad Hill had instructed him to handle.

"What? Aren't you curious what the two of us were talking about just now?"

Seeing Han Li walk toward the seat beside him, Broad Hill took the initiative to ask.

"Not curious. It has nothing to do with me anyway, and Master wouldn't harm me. If it were something I could know, you probably would have told me already," Han Li answered indifferently.

He truly did not care. What secret could Heaven Dou City possibly hold? At most, it was Qian Renxue, the undercover agent. He had no intention of getting involved with that older sister right now.

You do your undercover work, and I'll focus on growing stronger. As long as we don't interfere with each other, that's the best outcome I could hope for.

"You really do see things clearly. By the way, now that we've reached Heaven Dou City, have you sensed anything new?" Broad Hill asked curiously.

"No. We'll wait until the maps arrive. I'll try again tonight," Han Li said casually.

"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news."

Broad Hill recalled Han Li's extremely bizarre methods from before and closed his mouth.
