A Mother-Centered Cordial Greeting

"Heh heh, of course it's convenient. How could it not be? Hall Master Maxhill, you're absolutely right. Cracking down on Fallen Ones and safeguarding the peace of Douluo Continent is everyone's responsibility."

"Since you yourself said this was simply official business, then please, Hall Master Maxhill, enter my Prince's Residence and inspect it. See whether I have truly sheltered any Fallen Ones. Be my guest."

"However, if you fail to find these so-called Fallen Ones in my Prince's Residence, Hall Master Maxhill, you'd better give me an explanation."

Seeing that old bastard Maxhill looking so unconcerned, Yun Duo had no intention of letting him off so easily.

Although he did not want to fall out with Spirit Hall, the most powerful organization on Douluo Continent, unless necessary, everyone had their limits.

If Maxhill came to cause trouble at his Prince's Residence today and Yun Duo simply let him go, there would be no telling which other faction might come tomorrow to trample all over his residence.

By then, every living person and every ghost would probably come bully him.

"Heh heh, first of all, thank you, Your Highness, for your recognition of Spirit Hall. As for inspecting the Prince's Residence, I don't believe there is any need to do so now."

"Besides, didn't Your Highness personally say that the commotion from the Prince's Residence earlier was caused by your Martial Soul awakening? In that case, this Hall Master has misunderstood. I nearly forgot to congratulate Your Highness on awakening Twin Martial Souls today. Your talent must be exceptionally powerful."

The shrewd old Maxhill quickly responded after hearing Yun Duo's words.

From the beginning, Mark Xier's objective had been intelligence on the prince before him. Since his target had already emerged from the Prince's Residence, there was no point in going inside. He might as well use this opportunity to extract more useful information.

"Oh, it's alright. Nothing special."

"I merely awakened Twin Martial Souls, along with Innate Full Soul Power. I imagine that, to Spirit Hall, this is nothing remarkable."

"After all, Spirit Hall is one of the foremost powers on Douluo Continent, with experts everywhere and talented individuals constantly emerging. A talent like mine might not even be particularly outstanding among Spirit Hall's many disciples."

Yun Duo saw through Maxhill's little scheme at once and immediately fabricated a fairly plausible piece of information.

After all, the commotion caused by his Martial Soul awakening had practically become common knowledge throughout Skywater City.

Moreover, the two young girls suspended in the air and the enormous platinum-and-gold clock behind them were impossible to miss for anyone who was not blind.

Naturally, he could not possibly reveal that he possessed Innate Level-Twenty Soul Power, God-Bestowed Spirit Rings, and that both his first and second Soul Rings began at the thousand-year level.

Clearly, for Soul Masters who had never come into contact with Divine Spirit Inheritance, even Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and one of the Three Upper Sects, would find such things beyond his understanding.

Within their understanding, the strongest talents they could imagine were Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could never imagine that beyond Innate Full Soul Power existed God-Level Martial Souls and Innate Level-Twenty Soul Power.

"Mm, Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power? Husband, once this farce is over, we must send this important intelligence back to the sect."

"Also, in my opinion, when it comes to business cooperation between our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Chamber of Commerce and the Prince's Residence, we could yield some profits to strengthen our relationship."

"Mm, that's feasible. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does not lack this little bit of money. Besides, if Prince Yun Duo can resolve the conflict between his Twin Martial Souls, his future achievements may well surpass even Uncle Sword's."

"Setting aside whether he can resolve the conflict between the Twin Martial Souls, even if this prince cultivates only one Martial Soul, with his Innate Full Soul Power talent and his family's foundation, breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm should not be a problem."

"Mm, that's true."

After hearing the information Yun Duo had fabricated, Ning Hudie and Chen Jian secretly communicated through Soul Power transmission.

"Er... Your Highness is far too modest. With such formidable talents as Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, this Hall Master believes that not many people on the entire continent could surpass Your Highness."

"This Hall Master shall congratulate Your Highness in advance on reaching the Titled Douluo realm soon. Since Your Highness has only just awakened your Martial Soul, I shall not disturb you further. This Hall Master will take his leave first."

Though Maxhill's face was piled with smiles and his words full of flattery, he was already cursing furiously inside.

Even Hu Liena, Spirit Hall's current Saintess, had awakened only one Martial Soul. Though she possessed Innate Level-Nine Soul Power, she was worlds apart from this prince.

A genius with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, so long as he did not seek death and did not perish midway, was a guaranteed Titled Douluo candidate. If this prince was fortunate enough to resolve the drawbacks of conflicting Twin Martial Souls, he would surely become a major problem in the future.

"Hold it, Hall Master Maxhill. Earlier, you wanted to investigate my Prince's Residence whenever you pleased, and now you say you will not investigate it and want to leave just like that. Are you taking me far too lightly?"

"Since you dared to trespass into my Prince's Residence today, will you dare to trespass into the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace tomorrow? Though Spirit Hall is powerful, you cannot act so recklessly and disregard the laws of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"I already said that you, Mark Xier, must give me an explanation today. Of course, I will not make things difficult for you. You only need to lower your head and admit your mistake."

"I imagine Hall Master Maxhill's mother taught you as a child that when you do something wrong, you should apologize. Oh, no, I forgot. You have no mother. At Hall Master Maxhill's age, your mother must have long since been buried, right?"

Seeing Maxhill turn around to leave, Yun Duo directly called him back, then gave him a "cordial" greeting centered around his mother.

Though none of Yun Duo's words contained profanity, every sentence was like a soft blade, precisely stabbing at Maxhill's sore spots.

"Your Highness, aren't those words a little too excessive? This Hall Master may have offended you earlier, but humiliating me like this is beneath your status."

"Furthermore, Your Highness should understand that disaster comes from the mouth. It would be unfortunate if some accident were to happen one day."

After hearing Yun Duo's cordial greeting, Maxhill, who had already turned to leave, turned back around. With a dark expression, he looked toward Yun Duo in the distance.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black Soul Rings appeared around Maxhill, seven in total, rising and falling around his body. Behind him, the shadow of a leopard Martial Soul slowly emerged.
