Yu Xiaogang Heads to Martial Soul Hall

"Alright, then tomorrow we'll head to Martial Soul Hall." Lin Yu said nothing more. Discovering the Blue Silver Forest this time was an unexpected stroke of luck; his original plan had been to wait until Ah Yin was resurrected before going there.

While Lin Yu and his group were preparing to return, another person was also planning to head to Martial Soul City—that person was Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

"Bibi Dong, I'm coming." Yu Xiaogang stood at the entrance of Notting Academy, gazing toward Martial Soul City, his eyes growing deep and profound. However, his outfit completely wasted the imposing aura he tried to project.

"Teacher, we're back." The first thing Lin Yu did upon returning to Martial Soul City was seek out Bibi Dong, naturally heading straight to the Pope Hall. But this time, Lin Yu had brought Zhu Zhuqing along.

"Xiao Yu, you're back." Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Bibi Dong was very pleased, then noticed Zhu Zhuqing at his side.

"This is someone from the Zhu Family of Star Luo Empire? Why did you bring her back?" Bibi Dong recognized Zhu Zhuqing's identity at a glance.

After all, although Martial Soul Hall's influence in the Star Luo Empire was quite weak, they still knew some basic information.

"Teacher, while I was acquiring my Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest this time, I unexpectedly discovered a fraudulent academy in Suotuo City.

That academy harbored individuals wanted by Martial Soul Hall, so I apprehended them and disbanded Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing was one of those who had intended to enter Shrek Academy. I saw that her talent was decent, and combined with her willpower, I brought her back.

She's only eleven years old and already a Soul Elder. After taking an Immortal Herb, she'll be able to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament two years from now.

Plus, since she's from the Zhu Family of Star Luo City, she should prove quite useful to Martial Soul Hall." Lin Yu gave Bibi Dong a subtle glance.

Bibi Dong was no ordinary person; seeing Lin Yu's look, she naturally understood what he was thinking.

"Are you sure it's not because of Zhu Zhuqing's figure and appearance?" Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yu with a smile.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly.

But after deciding to follow Lin Yu, Zhu Zhuqing had already resolved to entrust everything to him. Even if Lin Yu truly had such intentions, she wouldn't refuse.

"How could Teacher think that of me?" Lin Yu feigned grievance as he came up behind Bibi Dong, placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Alright, I was just joking.

Since she's someone you brought back, have Yue Guan select a suitable Immortal Herb for her and have her take it as soon as possible. In two years, her Soul Power should reach Soul Ancestor." Bibi Dong intended to send Zhu Zhuqing away.

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope." Zhu Zhuqing excitedly thanked Bibi Dong. Though she didn't know what an Immortal Herb was, raising her Soul Power by over ten levels in two years was clearly no ordinary thing.

"You shouldn't thank me. You should thank Xiao Yu—he gave you this opportunity.

Alright, you may leave now. I still have some things to discuss with Xiao Yu." Bibi Dong waved her hand at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Now, tell me what you're really thinking." Bibi Dong reached out and placed her hand over Lin Yu's, which rested on her shoulder.

"Teacher, Zhu Zhuqing was only a Soul Grand Master at the time. Her sister had the family's help, yet still let Zhu Zhuqing escape Star Luo City. Clearly, the Zhu Family is already somewhat dissatisfied with the tradition that family daughters must marry into the Star Luo royal family and fight each other to the death.

We can use Zhu Zhuqing to completely turn the Zhu Family to our side. That way, Martial Soul Hall can extend its influence into the Star Luo Empire.

This will be more advantageous for our plans." Lin Yu concealed nothing and directly stated his intentions.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Bibi Dong revealed a satisfied smile. Just as she was about to say something more, Ghost's figure suddenly appeared in the Pope Hall.

"Your Holiness, Holy Son, Yu Xiaogang has suddenly arrived at Martial Soul City and requests an audience with you." Ghost reported the matter directly, afraid that if he delayed, Bibi Dong wouldn't give him a chance to speak.

"Yu Xiaogang? What is he doing in Martial Soul City?" Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised—but only surprised.

"Xiao Yu, is there something else you haven't told me?" Bibi Dong suddenly turned to look at Lin Yu.

"Teacher, let's talk about that when you get back." Lin Yu laughed it off. He had just forgotten to tell Bibi Dong about Tang Hao and Tang San.

"I'll deal with you later." Bibi Dong shot Lin Yu a glare.

"Have him wait in the reception hall." Bibi Dong's tone toward Ghost was not as gentle as when she spoke to Lin Yu; it was filled with cold indifference.

Ghost did not leave immediately but remained standing respectfully in place.

"Is there something else?" Bibi Dong looked at Ghost, puzzled.

"Yu Xiaogang is holding a token that only elders should possess." Ghost hesitated for a moment before speaking. He wasn't sure if Bibi Dong had given that token to Yu Xiaogang.

After all, he and Yue Guan had been with Bibi Dong the longest and naturally knew about the relationship between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.

"You may withdraw." Bibi Dong frowned slightly upon hearing Ghost's words.

"Yes." Ghost vanished immediately after replying.

"Little one, do you want to come see him with me?" Bibi Dong suddenly looked at Lin Yu after Ghost left.

"I can go too?" Lin Yu was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Why not? Do you want to?" Bibi Dong knew that Lin Yu was aware of many hidden secrets, and this time she intended to show him that she had already let go of Yu Xiaogang.

"Perfect. I'd like to see what kind of person this so-called 'Grandmaster' really is—the one who made the top woman of the Douluo Continent fall for him, and not just one." Lin Yu said this while secretly watching Bibi Dong's reaction.

His little trick naturally didn't escape Bibi Dong's notice.

"You little rascal!" Bibi Dong tapped Lin Yu on the forehead, showing no anger. After all, she had indeed been unable to forget Yu Xiaogang before.

It was only after Lin Yu brought back the Lovesick Heartbreak Red that she had come to understand her own heart.

When the two arrived at the dedicated reception hall of Martial Soul Hall, Yu Xiaogang was standing with his hands behind his back, facing the window, his posture straight.

"What are you doing here?" Bibi Dong's icy voice rang out directly. She didn't bother acknowledging Yu Xiaogang and sat down in the main seat.

Lin Yu did not appear but instead hid in the shadows, watching what happened in the reception hall. With Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power not even reaching Level 30, he couldn't sense Lin Yu's presence at all.

"Dong'er..." Hearing Bibi Dong's voice, Yu Xiaogang turned around. The moment he saw Bibi Dong, his body trembled, and a trace of greed emerged from the depths of his eyes.

"Call me Your Holiness the Pope!" However, Bibi Dong paid no heed to Yu Xiaogang's reaction. Upon hearing that address, her aura pressed down directly on Yu Xiaogang. But the pressure she exerted was not very strong, afraid that she might accidentally crush him to death.

She still needed to use Yu Xiaogang to show Lin Yu that she had nothing to do with him anymore.
