Hu Liena, suddenly remembering Du Feng's reputation from fifty years ago, cried out in shock.

Since even such a ruthless man had chosen to follow him, what were they still waiting for?

No wonder Teacher wanted to take him as a disciple. No wonder the Grand Worship also paid such close attention to him, even sending Du Feng to follow and protect him.

So it turned out they had all been full of themselves, thinking that just because they had a bit of talent, they were something special and could do whatever they wanted.

After all that, they were the clowns.

"Nana, didn't something major happen today?"

"His Holiness the Pope and the Grand Worship nearly came to blows."

"Rumor has it there was a young man in His Holiness the Pope's arms."

"And that young man was the cause of it all."

"Do you think that young man could be Chu Hao?"

Suddenly, Yan thought of the major incident that had happened today and connected it to Chu Hao.

"Mm, it should be him."

Hu Liena had also thought of this matter and nodded timidly.

"Hiss..."

"Looks like what Du Feng said was all true."

"Otherwise, His Holiness the Pope and the Grand Worship wouldn't have nearly fought because of him."

"Xie Yue, I think you can consider it."

"If you don't choose to submit, your days in Martial Soul Hall definitely won't be easy from now on."

"With how much Chu Hao is favored by His Holiness the Pope and the Grand Worship, making things difficult for you would be as easy as lifting a finger."

"Why don't you do the same as me and compromise for now? When we get the chance, we'll rise again!"

At first, Yan had still been very unhappy about submitting to Chu Hao.

But now, he had come around.

The guy had the ability to back it up.

If he had that kind of ability, he would probably only be even more overbearing than Chu Hao.

He would have directly made them kneel and sing Conquer, or even stepped on their faces to humiliate them, and so on.

"That's right, Brother. If you go against Chu Hao now, nothing good will come of it."

"A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. Why don't you choose to submit for now?"

"There's an old saying: a gentleman's revenge can wait ten years. We still have plenty of time. There's no need to drive ourselves straight into a dead end."

"Maybe Chu Hao can even teach us a few methods."

"You saw it too. Without using his martial soul, he could use soul power to condense sword qi, sword light, and sharp blades to fight his enemies."

"If we can learn that move, we'll make a killing."

Hu Liena gradually came to terms with the grievance she had suffered earlier as well.

Wasn't she in Martial Soul Hall to increase her strength and become a powerful expert?

If Chu Hao could help her, then what did it matter if she submitted to him?

As long as she could achieve her goal, that was enough.

Besides, she was pretty and had a good figure. If she happened to get a chance to make Chu Hao fall in love with her, wouldn't that be even better?

In truth, Chu Hao was quite handsome too, with extraordinary talent. He was the most outstanding person she had ever met, simply a perfect match for her.

Wasn't the prince charming in her heart someone as outstanding as Chu Hao?

"Fine. For now, this is the only way."

"But one day, I will defeat him and take back everything I lost."

Xie Yue listened to their persuasion, thought for a moment, and ultimately chose to compromise.

But he would not compromise for the rest of his life. As long as he got the chance, he would make Chu Hao taste the feeling of being forced to submit too.

"Good. As expected of my brother."

"A real man knows when to bend and when to stand tall."

When Yan heard Xie Yue's decision, he gave him a huge hug.

For some reason, he felt a strange sense of schadenfreude.

"Mm, Brother, I believe in you!"

Hu Liena, meanwhile, let out a slight breath of relief.

No matter what, Chu Hao probably would not make things difficult for him anymore.

This was the result she most wanted to see.

"Nana, the next time you see Chu Hao, tell him your brother's resolve for me."

"You know I can't bring myself to lose that much face."

Since Xie Yue had already made up his mind, he had to learn to face reality.

But submitting to someone in person was just too humiliating.

If Hu Liena could state his resolve on his behalf, then at the very least, he could still preserve a shred of dignity.

"Mm, okay, I'll go right now!"

Hu Liena nodded, then ran out.

Before long, Hu Liena found Chu Hao and Du Feng, who were a little lost and did not know which direction to take.

"Xiao Hao, wait!"

The moment Hu Liena saw Chu Hao, she immediately ran over.

For some reason, whenever she saw Chu Hao, she always felt an indescribable sense of joy.

"Something wrong?"

Chu Hao turned his head and asked coldly.

"Xiao Hao, my brother Xie Yue has thought it through. He chooses to submit to you."

Looking at his cold face, Hu Liena replied a little gloomily.

Why couldn't he show a nicer expression? He kept that cold face all day long. Didn't he ever get tired of it?

"Tell him to come himself. Otherwise, it doesn't count."

Chu Hao answered coldly, then continued looking for the way out of this place.

There was no helping it. The buildings in Martial Soul Hall looked far too similar. They basically all had the same style, and there were many forks in the road, making it very easy to lose one's way.

If he had not memorized a bit of the route when he came over, he would have been completely turned around long ago.

Originally, he had wanted Du Feng to lead the way.

In the end, this guy was also directionally challenged.

He only knew the routes to his own residence and a few important places. As for everything else, he knew nothing.

"O-okay!"

Hearing this, Hu Liena replied in great disappointment.

However, she immediately noticed that Chu Hao seemed a little lost, so she quickly gave him some directions and told him how to leave this place and find the main road leading to the Pope's Palace.

After Chu Hao learned the correct route, he did not even greet Hu Liena before leaving coldly, making Hu Liena stomp her feet in anger.

Afterward, she went back and relayed Chu Hao's exact words to Xie Yue.

Left with no choice, Xie Yue could only personally go find Chu Hao. In front of him, he knelt on one knee and chose to submit.

Likewise, Chu Hao did not give him a pleasant expression either. He merely nodded, then left.

This made Xie Yue feel even more grief and indignation.

You made me come submit in person, so at least show some kind of reaction. Even a smile would do. What the hell does it mean to nod with a cold face?

If he had been able to beat him, he would have attacked him on the spot long ago.

"Brother, don't be angry. That's just how he is."

Hu Liena, who had come along with him, saw Xie Yue sulking and quickly spoke up to comfort him.

"Nana, I'm fine. I'll get used to it."

Hu Liena's concern was the best medicine for him. After rubbing her little head, he turned and left.

Just being angry was useless. He had to take action, rapidly improve his strength, and advance to Soul King as soon as possible.

Since Elder Ghost had already accepted him as a disciple, he should work even harder in his cultivation and not let down Elder Ghost's expectations.

"Brother..."

Hu Liena looked at Xie Yue as he left and called out softly, her voice filled with shame.

She knew that although Xie Yue had not said anything, deep down, he still held some resentment over this matter and had suffered no small grievance.

If she had the chance, she would definitely repay her brother properly in the future for the love he had given her.

After making up her mind, she walked toward the Pope's Palace.

What she did not know was that Yue Guan was currently reporting what had happened today to Bibi Dong.

"Yue Guan, you're saying Chu Hao forcibly pressured Nana into submitting to him?"

After hearing everything that had happened, Bibi Dong's brows tightened slightly.

Chu Hao's actions were far too obvious and domineering. She had no choice but to take them seriously.

"Yes, Your Holiness. This subordinate suggests that you remain on guard against Chu Hao. I fear he may have ulterior motives for joining our Martial Soul Hall," Yue Guan suggested.

"Mm. I will consider your suggestion. You may go."

Bibi Dong nodded, signaling that he could leave.

"Yes!"

Yue Guan responded respectfully before turning and walking away.

Just then, Hu Liena happened to walk in, exchanging a glance with Yue Guan as they passed.

"Teacher..."

Hu Liena ran toward Bibi Dong, calling out with a hint of grievance in her voice.

"It's Nana. Come, hurry over here."

Seeing Hu Liena, Bibi Dong quickly beckoned her over.
