"Reporting to the Pope, the Great Enshrinement returned from hunting Spirit Beasts today with the Young Master and the Saint Son. It seemed Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's granddaughter was with them as well."
At Bibi Dong's glance, Yue Guan brought up the least important matter first.
"Your Excellency the Pope, if there is nothing else, may I take my leave? I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to."
Having precisely caught the information in Yue Guan's words, Yan immediately asked Bibi Dong for permission to leave.
Although he claimed that he had matters to attend to, the expression on his face had already given him away completely.
Not to mention Bibi Dong—even Hu Liena and Xie Yue could tell at a glance what Yan wanted to do.
"Teacher, let my brother and me leave as well. We were just planning to visit the Spirit Beast Hall and see whether there are any Spirit Beasts with suitable cultivation periods to serve as our Second Spirit Rings."
After exchanging a glance with her brother Xie Yue, Hu Liena also asked Bibi Dong for permission to leave.
"Very well. You may leave first."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Bibi Dong did not keep the three of them any longer. She gave a slight nod, signaling that they could leave.
Only after the three had departed did Yue Guan speak again.
"The Great Enshrinement seems to intend for Dugu Bo to join Douluo Hall as an Enshrined. Your Excellency the Pope, should we take measures to bring Dugu Bo into Elder Hall?"
"He is merely a level ninety-one, the weakest Title Douluo. He is not worth wasting so much effort on."
"Since the Great Enshrinement wants him, let them have him."
"What I care about more is whether you uncovered any useful information about Lin Du this time."
To Bibi Dong, Dugu Bo, the weakest Title Douluo, was not even as interesting as Lin Du.
Thus, she did not care whether Dugu Bo could become a force under her command.
"My deepest apologies, Your Excellency the Pope. Our people only know that before the Great Enshrinement took the Young Master and the Saint Son to the Star Dou Great Forest, they made a detour to Sunset Forest."
"After leaving Sunset Forest, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was with them."
"As for what happened in Sunset Forest and what happened in the Star Dou Great Forest, we know nothing."
"After all, the Great Enshrinement is a Limit Douluo. Our people did not dare get too close for fear of being discovered."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Yue Guan's face, but he ultimately reported the truth to Bibi Dong.
"Useless! You cannot even handle something so simple!"
Bibi Dong's scepter slammed into the ground, and a powerful, domineering wave of Soul Power swept through the entire Pope's Palace.
Sensing the cold aura around Bibi Dong, Yue Guan did not hesitate in the slightest. He decisively knelt before her.
"My deepest apologies, Your Excellency the Pope. Please punish me!"
Seeing that Yue Guan's attitude was fairly sincere, the coldness on Bibi Dong's face softened slightly.
"Forget it. Leave. I hope Yan and the others will not disappoint me."
Bibi Dong waved Yue Guan away, her pale violet eyes looking beyond the hall as though they had fallen upon the three who had already left.
"Yan, calm down first."
Seeing Yan move faster and faster, Xie Yue simply activated his Soul Power and flashed in front of him.
"Stop trying to persuade me, Xie Yue. How am I supposed to calm down after this? I have to—"
"Not here. Brother, let's go to your room."
Hu Liena interrupted Yan's dangerous words, then looked toward her brother Xie Yue.
"That's right. We can talk once we get back."
Xie Yue nodded at once. He then hooked an arm over Yan's shoulder and, without giving him any choice, took him toward his room.
Yan was fairly obedient when it came to Hu Liena's words, so he did not struggle and simply let Xie Yue lead him away.
Before long, the three arrived in Xie Yue's room.
After closing the door, Xie Yue turned and returned to the table.
However, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he first poured tea for his sister and Yan.
Draining the tea in one gulp did nothing to extinguish the fury in Yan's heart, and he began speaking again.
"If you two intend to persuade me, then don't bother."
"I will never swallow this grievance. Your Excellency the Pope clearly promised to reward that Ten Thousand Year Icefire Wolf Soul Bone to me."
"Why should it be given to that nobody just because he likes it?"
"Whether in terms of cultivation period or attribute, that Ten Thousand Year Icefire Wolf Soul Bone suits me perfectly."
"I will never allow something that originally belonged to me to be taken by someone else!"
The red fire patterns on Yan's body glowed, and a scorching aura radiated from him.
"Calm down first. I know you feel terribly wronged over this."
"But the matter is already settled. That Spirit Bone may even have already been absorbed by that bargain-bin Saint Son."
"Whatever you do now may be nothing but wasted effort."
Xie Yue naturally understood Yan's grievance. If he were the one who had gone through such a thing, he might not have been able to stay calm either.
But now that things had come to this, anger alone was useless, so he still had to persuade Yan to calm down.
"If I do not vent this anger, I cannot calm down. Even if that brat has already absorbed the Spirit Bone—"
"I will still make him answer for it!"
Yan rejected the suggestion without even thinking. Just as he said, until he vented this anger, there was no way his heart could calm down.
"But you cannot attack him directly either. Spirit Hall forbids private fighting. If you act rashly, I fear the Enforcement Team will seize you before you can even strike that guy. Do not forget, the Punishment Hall was previously under the Great Enshrinement's command."
Xie Yue looked at the friend he had grown up with and continued to patiently persuade him.
"Private fighting is forbidden, yes, but Spirit Hall does not prohibit an open and honorable Duel."
"Since you cannot swallow this grievance no matter what, directly challenge that bargain-bin Saint Son named Lin Du to a Duel."
Hu Liena suddenly spoke, making excitement flare in Yan's eyes. Xie Yue, on the other hand, looked at his sister in confusion.
He did not understand why she was encouraging Yan to take action.
"As expected, Nana is the one who understands me. I'll go challenge that guy to a Duel right now!"
Hearing that the girl he secretly loved also approved of his idea, Yan immediately stood up, intending to challenge Lin Du to a Duel.
"I did tell you to Duel him, but not now. I believe you heard it from Chrysanthemum Douluo as well."
"Lin Du only recently returned from hunting Spirit Beasts. He must now be a one-ring Spirit Master, and with that Ten Thousand Year Icefire Wolf Soul Bone—"
"His combat strength will definitely be no weaker than that of a Two-Ringed Soul Grand Master."
"If you want to vent your anger, I advise you to first absorb your second Spirit Ring and become a Two-Ringed Soul Grand Master. That way, your chances of winning will be greater, won't they?"
