Social Graces, Arriving at Heaven Dou City
Early the next morning, Yu Changge and Qian Xunji set off for Heaven Dou City.
Their trip there wasn't impulsive.
When it was confirmed yesterday that we would be going to Heaven Dou City today, a Titled Douluo was temporarily dispatched to Heaven Dou City as quickly as possible to inform the Heaven Dou Imperial Family family.
Due to time constraints, the two were to depart for Vast Sea City in two weeks.
So they didn't travel by carriage, but flew all the way there.
Although Yu Changge has not yet condensed Soul Core, her Soul Power endurance is not as good as Qian Xunji's.
However, he has a Soul Power Milk Bottle to sustain him, which greatly reduces the number of times he needs to stop and recover his Soul Power.
That morning, Yu Tianqing, Yu Shuyao, and Yu Ming also left Spirit City.
They need to go back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also participated in the plan to visit Sea God Island half a month later.
As "middlemen" between the Spirit Hall and their families, the three of them needed to go back and make preparations in advance.
Yu Tianqing actually had other purposes for returning this time.
That would be to show off his strength Titled Douluo, and ideally, to have him spar with Yu Yuanzhen.
Over the years, Yu Yuanzhen's cultivation level has also increased from Ninety-Fourth Rank to Ninety-Fifth Rank.
Although Yu Tianqing is currently only Ninety-Second Rank.
However, his ninth Soul Ring is at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier, which, combined with the endurance of his Soul Core, makes him even more formidable.
The combat power he can unleash is in no way weaker than that of Ninety-Fifth Rank.
Not to mention, he also possesses two Spirit Bone of considerable quality.
An 80,000-year-old Thunder-Patterned Flying Flood Dragon Right Arm Bone, and a 50,000-year-old Thunderbinding Dragon-Imprisoning Left Arm Bone.
As far as he knew, Yu Yuanzhen should only have two family- Inherited Spirit Bone.
On the way, Yu Ming reminded him, "Tian Qing, I know you're planning to show off a bit when you return to the family this time."
"But remember not to be too arrogant or overbearing."
"This is detrimental to your future ambition of becoming a family retainer."
"Your main purpose in going back this time is to demonstrate your strength."
Even if you have the strength to defeat the Clan Head, you'll still have to hold back a little in the end.
"Give him some face, that is, give him a way out, understand?"
Yu Tianqing chuckled, "I know, Elder Yu, I understand these basic social niceties."
Yu Ming nodded in satisfaction.
The Yu Tianqing family had no interest in Clan Head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He simply wanted to be the person behind the Clan Head.
Therefore, they not only need to demonstrate their strength, but also their reputation within the family is very important.
At this moment, Yu Shuyao suddenly asked, "By the way, there are three forces in total that have sent us to Sea God Island this time."
"The Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Two of the Upper Three Sects are included, so why didn't the Spirit Hall invite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Yu Ming glanced at her and chuckled, "Does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have any significant connection with the Spirit Hall?"
"The Clear Sky Sect is able to align itself with the Spirit Hall because of Tang Chen."
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can follow the Spirit Hall because of Changge."
"And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not demonstrate any value whatsoever."
"If this mission to Sea God Island truly confirms the existence of this so-called 'hereditary tradition' on this small island..."
"Do you think all seventy of us who went this time will pass that kind of assessment? It's simply impossible."
"At most, they'll select a few people to participate in the assessment because they see we're quite capable."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that we have two Peerless Douluo here."
"But once they confirm the existence of the Sea God's legacy, what if we go too far?"
"We'll be in danger."
"Even though Changge possesses the legacy of two God King."
"But that depends on whether those two God King are willing to lend a hand."
"Bringing people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with you at a time like this will only cause you to seize a smaller share."
Yu Tianqing chimed in, "And all the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are support-type Soul Master."
"The people in our line of work are all quite capable; why would we need their assistance?"
"As for the two from the Seven Kill family, let's not mention them."
Yu Shuyao couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on Yu Tianqing's waist and glare at him.
"You, you've just become Titled Douluo, and you already look down on Chen Jianjun."
"The opponent is at least Peak Douluo."
Yu Tianqing hissed, then explained, "It's mainly because it's really unnecessary."
Yu Ming figured it out.
Yu Shuyao actually knew the key to it.
The reason she mentioned this was mainly because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was, after all, one of the Upper Three Sects.
Moreover, the sect also has a Titled Douluo named Chen Jianjun.
The Spirit Hall didn't bring them along on this trip, but instead brought along two other sects. Wouldn't that be a bit disrespectful?
But Yu Shuyao was definitely overthinking it.
The Spirit Hall can only be respected by the Clear Sky Sect; other forces should forget about it.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only benefited from Changge's fame.
On the other side, because Qian Xunji and Yu Changge had been traveling day and night...
In just two days, they arrived at Heaven Dou City.
We first stayed at a hotel.
Then Qian Xunji went to the palace gate alone and asked a guard to announce that the Pope of the Spirit Hall would be entering the palace the next day.
Given his status, he didn't actually need to be so polite.
But he came here this time for the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Therefore, he was willing to put in a little more effort in terms of etiquette to show the Spirit Hall's sincerity.
That night, in the Imperial Study.
On Xue Ye received a report from the Commander of the Imperial Guards.
His fingers tapped incessantly on the desk, his brow furrowed. He couldn't understand why the Spirit Hall had come to visit this time.
Moreover, it was the Pope of the Spirit Hall who personally attended.
The current Xue Ye has only been on the throne for a few years.
He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, and was quite dignified.
Unable to understand Qian Xunji's purpose, he summoned high-ranking royal ministers to the palace that very night to ask for their opinions.
Xue Ye looked at the three people standing respectfully before him, his voice low and somber.
"The Pope's visit from the Spirit Hall this time was quite unexpected and abrupt. I wonder what the three of you think about it?"
Among the three, the senior minister at the head of the group cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, since the Spirit Hall came through proper channels to report this, it shows that the Pope does not intend to use his power to intimidate us."
"At least that's how it appears on the surface."
"Tomorrow, Your Majesty need only treat us with courtesy and act accordingly."
The second minister nodded. "I second that proposal."
"Qian Xunji may have come here with some ulterior motive, or perhaps there is something important to discuss."
"But whatever it is, we don't need to rush to express our opinion. Let's listen to what he has to say first, and then make a decision."
