Martial Soul Hall's Right and Wrong

Dugu Bo nodded, his expression grave as he said:

"The situation in Heaven Dou City is currently quite strange. Emperor Xue Ye's health is failing, and Prince Xue Xing once approached me, suspecting he has been poisoned."

"I went to examine him myself, but I found nothing unusual. If only..."

"Don't!"

Su Chen refused decisively.

Dugu Bo had assumed he was agreeing, but suddenly realizing the refusal, he looked stunned and asked:

"Didn't you just say that if I had anything to say, I should just say it?"

Su Chen gently held Ye Lingling and said nonchalantly:

"I remember telling you before that I am a prophet who can calculate a thousand years of history on this continent, so there are no secrets in my eyes."

"I naturally know about the affairs in Heaven Dou City."

Dugu Bo hurriedly asked:

"Who is responsible? Is it him?"

Su Chen looked at Dugu Bo quietly and asked: "Have you lived enough? Or do you think Yanzi has lived enough?"

Dugu Bo's face turned ugly, and he frowned: "Prince Xue Xing saved my life; I cannot sit idly by."

Su Chen looked at Dugu Bo and said with a serious expression:

"I won't meddle in unnecessary affairs, but coming from a humble background, I naturally prefer the Martial Soul Hall's pro-people stance and resent the empire's aristocratic class."

"If you are determined to serve the Heaven Dou royal family, I fear your future ending will be tragic."

Dugu Bo remained silent.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also very quiet.

Su Chen continued:

"There is no such thing as right or wrong, or justice; there is only the perspective of each individual. To you, the Martial Soul Hall is ambitious, and by helping commoners awaken their martial souls, they threaten the status of your noble families."

"If you look at it from my class's perspective, the Martial Soul Hall is a great benefactor. Without their help in awakening our souls, we would be ordinary people for the rest of our lives."

Dugu Bo looked at Su Chen and shook his head: "Few in our family are not nobles; I simply cannot stand the overbearing conduct of the Martial Soul Hall."

"Heh!"

Su Chen wore a meaningful smile and asked:

"Then think carefully: is it the Martial Soul Hall that is overbearing, or the empire's noble families?"

"The exploitation of commoners by the nobility is far more overbearing than the Martial Soul Hall. The reason they all dislike the Martial Soul Hall is because the Martial Soul Hall truly threatens them!"

Dugu Yan looked at Su Chen with a strange expression and asked in confusion:

"The empire relies primarily on its military. Even if the Martial Soul Hall has many soul masters, they shouldn't be able to threaten the empire, right?"

Su Chen smiled and asked:

"Then do you know of Bibi Dong?"

"A Twin Martial Souls user and a level 99 Limit Douluo. She is an orphan. Even the current Golden Generation of the Martial Soul Hall all have soul power levels above forty, yet they are all orphans and commoners."

"While the martial soul inheritance of various families is powerful, it cannot compare to the one-in-a-ten-thousand selection process of the Martial Soul Hall. It is a pity, however, that some of the talents cultivated by the Martial Soul Hall are eventually bought off."

Dugu Bo was filled with shock:

"What did you just say? Bibi Dong is a Twin Martial Souls user and a level 99 Limit Douluo?"

Su Chen said calmly:

"Don't panic. She is indeed level 99, but because of the Rakshasa God trials, she must reserve her power to resist the backlash of evil thoughts. She likely only dares to exert strength around level 97."

Dugu Bo felt a heavy heart. Thinking back to those years, a single peerless Douluo like Qian Daoliu had kept the entire continent in a state of panic, and now, another one like Bibi Dong had appeared.

The Martial Soul Hall.

Truly terrifying!

Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Bo and said earnestly: "Grandpa Dugu, regarding the evolution of my martial soul, could I ask you to keep it a secret for me?"

Dugu Bo nodded: "That goes without saying. Such an important matter is something I would naturally not speak of."

Su Chen ruffled Ye Lingling's hair and said calmly:

"Even with your martial soul mutation, you still pose no threat to the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't reach where they are today by relying on support-type souls; they are primarily wealthy! The unique nature of their martial souls allows them to discover treasures, and they have made so much money that they have lost interest in it."

Ye Lingling said with some hesitation:

"I worry that if my martial soul evolution becomes known, everyone will praise our Nine Heart Begonia as the number one support, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will surely take action against us."

Su Chen said thoughtfully:

"This won't be able to be hidden forever. You could have your family move from Heaven Dou City to Martial Soul City. This would allow you to avoid the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and welcome better development."

Hearing this, Ye Lingling had an idea. Su Chen's heart leaned toward the Martial Soul Hall; he surely would not watch the Martial Soul Hall be destroyed.

Dugu Bo sighed and spoke up:

"Kid, we've known each other for a while, and I can see that Yan-yan is quite fond of you. If something were to happen to me in the future, could I entrust her care to you?"

"Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan's face flushed red as she glared at Dugu Bo. "Su Chen has already said it—if you insist on serving the Heaven Dou Imperial family, you will die in the future."

"Then couldn't you just stop serving them?"

Su Chen nodded without saying much else.

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter's reddening eyes and sighed softly. "Grandpa won't do anything reckless. Xue Xing saved my life, and once I repay that debt this time, I will resign as a guest advisor to the Heaven Dou Imperial family."

Dugu Yan bit her lip and lowered her head, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Su Chen reached out and flicked Dugu Yan on the forehead, then said to Dugu Bo with a smile:

"Old man, there's something I need to straighten out with you. Dugu Yan has been spoiled rotten by you, a Title Douluo, since she was a child. If you really die, she'll be finished."

After saying this, Su Chen leaned over and lay down on Ye Lingling's lap. Her silver-white silk stockings felt cool and refreshing, offering a unique experience.

There wasn't as much flesh on her legs as there was on Hu Liena's; while the difference wasn't huge when resting his head, they felt incredibly smooth to the touch!

[I'm writing today's diary entry a bit late. It's mainly because both Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan broke through to level forty. We spent half the day looking for soul beasts; it's a good thing we had the immortal herbs to lure the snakes out of their holes, otherwise, it would have taken another day.]

[Sigh! I suddenly realized that this world is different from what I imagined. I remember that according to the original plot, Dugu Yan's Soul Power was several levels higher than Ye Lingling's. Now, Ye Lingling is a support-type, yet she actually has several levels more Soul Power than Dugu Yan?]

[The key is that all of Dugu Yan's soul rings are purple. Her first soul ring is already a thousand-year one! How are you even more fierce than the pure and flawless Tang Buddha? To use the words of my Tang Buddha—you have already invited your own death.]

[Dugu Yan, oh Dugu Yan, it seems you are hiding a big secret in your heart!]

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's eyes flashed with panic upon seeing this, but seeing that Su Chen had his eyes closed, they both breathed a secret sigh of relief.

[Let me clarify here: the pure and flawless Tang God King, Tang Buddha, is the Tang San I've been talking about. Calculating the time, he should have gone to Shrek by now, right?]

[Writing this, I really can't wait to meet him, along with that scumbag Yu Xiaogang. I want them to see with their own eyes the charm of a top-tier villain. Hehehe!]

[Ah, wait, what was I writing in today's diary again? Huo Wu???]

[Huo Wu is proud, competitive, fiery, and domineering, and she is extremely strong-willed, but she is a girl of genuine character. She also has a simp following her around, and she once liked Tang San too.]

[This Love Continent is truly never lacking in love-struck fools and simps!]
