Fighting Spirit Hall, Much Joy to Be Had

Not to mention how furious the one in the Martial Soul Main Hall was—right there in public, the people had vanished.

Meanwhile, Bofeng had already returned to the tavern with Nannan.

Bofeng hurriedly shut the door behind them. Seeing the two return,

Xiao Bai, who had been lounging leisurely on the sofa, said blandly, "You're back. Did everything go smoothly?"

"It was dangerous. There was actually a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall in the Martial Soul Main Hall. Fortunately, the Sea God's Crown could teleport us a short distance. Otherwise, Nannan and I would have been stuck there." Bofeng patted his chest.

"A Titled Douluo?!" Xiao Bai immediately sat up.

"Nannan, tell Sister Xiaobai. Are you hurt?" Xiao Bai asked worriedly.

"Sis, I'm fine. Luckily, Brother protected me." Nannan smiled, then said seriously, "Sis, will you take Nannan as your disciple? Nannan wants to become stronger, as strong as you."

Bofeng was surprised. When had this little girl started thinking that way?

Xiao Bai looked somewhat awkward. She had never taken on a disciple before. As a Hundred Thousand Year Demon Soul Great White Shark, her duty was to protect Sea God Island.

Other than occasionally teaching the other Demon Soul Great White Sharks how to cultivate, and looking after Bofeng when he was young, she had never taught a human before.

"Nannan, it isn't that I don't want to teach you. It's just that my martial soul is the Demon Soul Great White Shark. I'm only suited to teaching soul masters whose martial souls are related to the sea. Speaking of which, Brother Feng, what is Nannan's martial soul?"

Bofeng motioned for Nannan to spread out her palm. The white flower instantly bloomed, and every flower in the city bowed toward it.

Back at the Martial Soul Main Hall, Ju Hua Guan sensed it. Just as he was about to head over, the sensation suddenly vanished again.

That no longer mattered. As long as the brother and sister remained in Heaven Dou City, he could find them.

Inside the room, Bofeng hurriedly concealed Nannan's martial soul. The commotion had been far too great; one careless move, and Ju Hua Guan would set his sights on them.

Bofeng was not afraid of him, but this was the mainland after all. With only Xiao Bai by his side, dealing with Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo would still be rather difficult.

He needed to find someone to rely on, though he did not wish to get entangled with too many people.

Yet along the way, Bofeng had already drawn far too much attention. Every one of them was a considerable force on the mainland.

Bofeng walked out onto the balcony and looked east, toward the location of the Clear Sky Sect. If matters truly became urgent, he would not mind personally going up to the Clear Sky Sect.

Though it had long sealed its gates, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.

As long as his father was still around, Spirit Hall would not dare act so arrogantly. Even if that was not the case, they could simply announce that his father was still on the mainland. At the very least, it would serve to deter Spirit Hall.

That was the final measure...

"This flower is extraordinarily unusual. Even I don't know what variety it is. Ju Hua Guan's martial soul is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and it was enough to make him extremely excited. Nannan's martial soul must be even more precious than his."

"Did anything happen while I was away?" Bofeng asked.

Xiao Bai nodded and took out an envelope from beside her.

"This was delivered by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family just now."

"The Heaven Dou Imperial Family?!" Hearing that, Bofeng immediately turned serious. First Spirit Hall, then the Heaven Dou Imperial Family—he had only been in Heaven Dou City for a few days, yet he had already come into contact with two major powers. This...

Bofeng could neither laugh nor cry. He had not expected the impact to be so great that even the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had become involved.

"The Royal Family plans to give us a shop, and under their name?" Bofeng asked in surprise.

Xiao Bai nodded. "That's right. The messenger only left a little while ago. The Crown Prince had someone deliver it. According to the messenger, this was His Majesty's intention—a compensation for the rudeness of that Prince Xue Beng this morning. Should we accept it?"

"Of course!" Bofeng smiled faintly. "I was just worrying over this, and now someone has delivered a pillow right when I was getting sleepy. We'll use this to announce ourselves to the public. With the Royal Family's momentum behind us, we can pull in more money."

"Aren't you afraid that Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo will find you?" Xiao Bai reminded him.

Bofeng laughed. "What's there to fear? Fighting Heaven Dou and fighting Spirit Hall—much joy to be had."

"I was getting bored anyway. This is Heaven Dou City. No matter how long Spirit Hall's reach is, they surely won't extend it beneath the imperial capital's walls. After all, they still can't afford to fall out with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."

"Sister Bai, do you remember that sword-wielding Titled Douluo from this morning?"

"I remember. Don't tell me you've come up with another scheme?" Xiao Bai covered her mouth and laughed.

"That sword-wielding Titled Douluo is one of the guardian elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. His title is Sword, and his name is Chen Xin. This time, we'll launch a major publicity campaign. First, we'll use the Royal Family's name to promote our goods."

"Second, Spirit Hall has already noticed us. Yue Guan holds no small position in Spirit Hall, so it won't be long before Spirit Hall pays serious attention to us. Therefore, we need to find a suitable ally."

"An ally?" Xiao Bai asked. "Could it be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect you mentioned?"

Bofeng nodded. "That's right. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is wealthier than a nation, and it has two Titled Douluo guarding it. Forming an alliance with them would be a good decision. It would let me cultivate on the mainland with peace of mind and lay a solid foundation for the future."

"Then what do you plan to do? They're such a huge sect. At the very least, you need to show some sincerity."

"Benefits." Bofeng smiled mysteriously.

"Benefits?" Xiao Bai was puzzled.

"That's right. We share a common interest. Sea God Island has a grudge against Spirit Hall, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is close to the Royal Family. Spirit Hall's ambitions do not stop there, and the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a shrewd man. Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is our best choice for an alliance."

"We can take this opportunity to trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Tomorrow, I'll personally bring gifts there. I'll also explain what is novel about our goods. No force ever thinks it has too much spare money. I'm one hundred percent certain that I can persuade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to invest. It's a win-win situation, so why not?"

"Mm."

After hearing Bofeng out, Xiao Bai could not help nodding in praise.

"After I leave tomorrow, Sister Bai, I'll leave this place entirely in your hands."

"And Nannan."

Bofeng crouched down and stroked Nannan's head lovingly. "I don't know what your martial soul is, but Brother promises you this: no one can hurt you, not even Spirit Hall."

"Tomorrow, stay properly in the tavern. Don't go anywhere. Stay by Sister Bai's side, and she'll protect you."

"Okay!" Nannan nodded with a smile.

"Sister Bai, tomorrow, arrange for someone to visit the new shop and see what the conditions there are like. Promote it while you're at it. Once I return from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, our shop will officially begin operating."

"Don't worry. Leave such a small matter to me." Xiao Bai agreed.
