Greenlark Douluo: Too Similar

Third Pontiff personally made a move, and Lin Chen did not head to Pope Palace.

With ten times the courage, he still would not dare to disobey the orders of Third Pontiff.

He had barely ever stepped foot inside the inner areas of Spirit Hall, let alone a sacred sanctuary like Elder Palace.

Following behind Qingluan, Lin Chen could be considered to have had his eyes opened, and this was all thanks to that little genius's good fortune.

As a deacon, he never in his life thought he would one day have such treatment.

Along the way, Lin Chen kept his mouth shut and obediently followed behind.

When they arrived before Elder Palace, Greenlark Douluo pushed open the palace doors, and the sacred aura inside rushed out, making people feel a sense of awe.

Lin Chen immediately reined in his mind and maintained his most respectful posture.

Walking inside, he saw that there was a huge angel statue within, lifelike, with six wings growing from its back and holding a long sword in its hand.

Beneath this statue stood a powerhouse with long golden hair; simply the aura he radiated gave Lin Chen a feeling of suffocation.

"Big Brother!" Greenlark Douluo called out respectfully.

Qian Daoliu turned around, closed the book in his hand, and upon discovering that a stranger was still following behind Greenlark Douluo, he frowned slightly. "Old San, what is it?"

Greenlark Douluo said, "When this person was awakening martial souls in a village, he discovered an angel martial soul!"

"Angel martial soul!"

Qian Daoliu's body trembled slightly, evidently deeply shocked.

A remote village had actually awakened an angel martial soul. Could it be that the bloodline had leaked? But the Angel Lineage had always been cautious, and furthermore, it was impossible for them to intermarry with outsiders; intermarriage with outsiders would also have records.

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Chen. "You didn't see wrong at the time?"

Lin Chen quickly stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Grand Pontiff, I did not see wrong. That was unmistakably the one and only angel martial soul, there is no mistake, and even if I were given a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare to deceive you, Grand Pontiff."

To deceive the Grand Pontiff, he wouldn't need to mix in Spirit Hall anymore, and as a deacon, although his status wasn't high, his treatment was definitely much better than that of the two great empires.

There was also a salary every month; why not do it?

Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow, becoming pensive, and after a moment said, "Old San, follow him to bring that child over. Be sure to make it as quick as possible."

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Greenlark Douluo naturally did not dare to delay, and hurried away with Lin Chen.

The main hall plunged into a silence, but Qian Daoliu could not settle down at all, his mind churning with thousands of thoughts.

How could there be an angel martial soul?

Qian Daoliu muttered to himself.

It was truly too strange.

Could it be that someone had a tryst outside?

He could only wait until he saw that child before speaking further.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had already accepted reality and was sitting in his room eating lunch.

"Su Yu, your skin has truly become white, and very tender too. After awakening your martial soul, your physique has also improved."

Old Yu clicked his tongue in wonder.

Originally, Su Yu was quite fair, but due to exercising under the waterfall year-round and suffering the scorching sun, his skin had turned dark; now, however, it was even fairer than before.

"It should be."

Su Yu said vaguely.

He hadn't eaten meat in several months; all he could say was that it was too fragrant.

In Zonghun Village, wanting to eat meat in large mouthfuls was evidently a very extravagant matter.

This time, one could tell that Old Yu had spent a great deal of money to buy meat.

Old Yu was also filled with gratification; Zonghun Village was finally going to start rising up.

About fifteen minutes later, Su Yu was full. This meal was the most filling one he had eaten in the past few months.

"Since you're full, rest well. I imagine the Spirit Master lord will be back soon."

Old Yu smiled, leaned on his cane as he left, and just as he pushed open the door, he bumped into Lin Chen, who had rushed back.

"Lord Deacon has returned. Who is this?"

Old Yu bowed in greeting.

"Village Chief, this is Elder Palace's Third Pontiff, Lord Greenlark Douluo." Lin Chen introduced.

Old Yu was extremely astonished. "Greetings, Lord Greenlark Douluo."

"No need for formalities. Let that child come out; I want to see him." Greenlark Douluo said.

Old Yu turned around and called out Su Yu, who had finished eating and was preparing to go to bed to rest.

Greenlark Douluo stared intently into the room with burning eyes.

What kind of person could possibly awaken an angel martial soul?

Su Yu walked out leisurely, and the moment he saw Greenlark Douluo, he froze for a moment.

"Lord Greenlark Douluo, this is Su Yu."

As Lin Chen spoke, he suddenly discovered that Greenlark Douluo's gaze was fixed entirely on Su Yu, and the expression on his face was changing unpredictably.

Greenlark Douluo was full of question marks.

Su Yu was too much like the Former Pope Qian Xunji, especially those eyes and the contours of his face; they were almost identical.

Could it be that the Former Pope had left behind an illegitimate child outside, and it was simply that none of them knew about it?

As an elder who watched Qian Xunji grow up, he had a very deep impression of Qian Xunji, and if he could awaken an angel martial soul, then it undoubtedly proved beyond a doubt that he was Qian Xunji's illegitimate son.

He had to be brought back. Fortunately, it hadn't been reported to Bibi Dong; if Bibi Dong found out, this child would be in big trouble.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Su Yu slightly bowed.

He looked too damn much like him; even the bowing motion was identical to Qian Xunji's, cut from the same cloth!

Greenlark Douluo calmed himself slightly, then said, "Child, what is your name?"

"Su Yu."

Su Yu answered truthfully, but seeing Greenlark Douluo's kind smile, why did he feel something was a bit off?

Naturally, he didn't know what he looked like now; even the fact that his skin had improved was something Old Yu had told him, and he hadn't had time to look in a mirror, so he didn't know his own transformation.

"Su Yu, good name." Greenlark Douluo smiled and nodded. "Will you come with me to Elder Palace? Are you willing?"

Su Yu decisively agreed.

Judging from the current situation, heading to Elder Palace was the best choice, and he had thought Lin Chen went to report to Bibi Dong.

Greenlark Douluo immediately took Su Yu's hand, preparing to rush to Elder Palace with all his might, and turned around to instruct Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, go to Spirit Hall to get some money to subsidize Zonghun Village, just say it was ordered by me."

Lin Chen quickly agreed.

Su Yu waved his hand. "Goodbye, Village Chief."

With those words, Greenlark Douluo brought Su Yu and left.

Their figures pierced the firmament, disappearing into the horizon.

Old Yu came back to his senses and muttered to himself, "Su Yu has been taken away; his future prospects are boundless!"

Lin Chen smiled. "Village Chief, your village will change because of Su Yu, and I will also get a promotion."

"Really?" Old Yu was wild with joy. "If it can change, that would be just wonderful."

Zonghun Village lagged far too much behind other surrounding villages; being able to obtain a subsidy from Spirit Hall would definitely improve their lives—even if it didn't surpass all the other villages, it wouldn't be far behind.

"Of course it's true, and Su Yu has an angel martial soul, his future is limitless, and the Grand Pontiff is personally overseeing this matter."

"As the saying goes: when one man attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Lin Chen smiled in explanation, feeling deeply emotional in his heart as well. Fortunately, this mission to Zonghun Village had fallen upon him; had it fallen to anyone else, he would never have had this treatment.
