Platinum Bishop Salas!

A quarter of an hour later, the three finally arrived at Heaven Dou City, which buzzed with voices.

At the city gates, the crowd surged like a tide, everyone bustling in and out. The armored guards stood like iron towers, vigilantly scanning every traveler who entered.

Xiao Wu gazed at the thriving city before her, her eyes filled with wonder.

She could not help exclaiming, "Wow, so this is Heaven Dou City? It's magnificent! As expected of the Heaven Dou Empire's capital, it's bigger and livelier than any city we've seen before."

Her words immediately drew the attention of those around her, and everyone turned to look at the girl who sounded like a country bumpkin.

Zhu Zhuqing was comparatively unmoved. She remarked mildly, "It looks decent, but compared to our Star Luo Empire's capital, it still falls a little short."

Chen Xuanqing smiled and gently patted Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulders, signaling them not to draw too much attention.

Then Chen Xuanqing said gently, "Let's go. We still have plenty to do. Let's not draw attention to ourselves here."

The three walked into Heaven Dou City, their figures gradually blending into the bustling crowd.

However, none of them noticed the two pairs of eyes fixed intently on them from the shadows.

"Is that him? That boy looks so young. Is he really that legendary Soul Saint?" one of them asked quietly.

"That's right, it's him! I saw him bully the young lady with my own eyes. There's no mistake. Hurry back and report to her. The person she's been waiting for has finally come to Heaven Dou City," the other replied firmly.

Then the two figures disappeared from the city gates.

Chen Xuanqing led Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing through Heaven Dou City's streets and alleys, their figures particularly eye-catching amid the bustling crowd.

From time to time, they stopped to admire the scenery along the streets, sample various delicacies, and buy interesting trinkets, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

Before long, they arrived before Heaven Dou City's Spirit Hall.

Chen Xuanqing looked up and saw the city's Spirit Hall towering into the clouds, its imposing grandeur lending it a solemn air.

"Wow, so this is Heaven Dou City's Spirit Hall? It's really magnificent!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement as well.

Chen Xuanqing smiled slightly and said, "That's right, this is Heaven Dou City's Spirit Hall. Come on! Let's go inside!"

With that, Chen Xuanqing led the way into the Spirit Hall, with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing close behind.

As soon as they entered the Spirit Hall, the three sensed a solemn, dignified atmosphere.

"There are so many people here!" Xiao Wu glanced around and found quite a few people already busy inside the Spirit Hall, yet despite all their activity, they were remarkably quiet.

Chen Xuanqing's gaze wandered around the Spirit Hall as he admired every corner of the building.

Everything within the hall was orderly, with everyone attending to their own duties. It was clearly well managed.

Chen Xuanqing could not help nodding and murmured approvingly, "It seems the Platinum Bishop here manages things quite well."

Just then, a beautiful attendant with a lovely face and a voluptuous figure approached. Her sweet smile and gracious manner gave her a warm, welcoming air.

The beautiful attendant bowed slightly and asked softly, "Hello! Is there anything I can help the three of you with?"

Chen Xuanqing's gaze casually swept over the beautiful attendant's face, his lecherous eyes seeming intent on seeing through everything.

However, he failed to realize that his behavior had already put the two girls beside him on alert.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were both perceptive, and they keenly noticed the change in Chen Xuanqing's gaze, leaving them somewhat displeased.

Thus, both girls reached out at the same time and gave Chen Xuanqing's waist a little twist.

The sudden move hurt so much that Chen Xuanqing nearly cried out. He endured the pain, still forced to keep his expression composed.

Chen Xuanqing took a deep breath, trying to settle his discomfort, then cleared his throat and said, "Ah... it's nothing. We just have some matters we'd like to discuss with the Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou City's Spirit Hall."

However, after hearing Chen Xuanqing's words, the beautiful attendant did not act immediately.

She stood where she was, staring somewhat blankly at the boy before her, doubts rising in her heart.

Isn't this handsome young man being far too presumptuous? He hasn't identified himself or explained what this is about, yet he expects to meet the Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop with a single request. Isn't that a little fanciful?

The beautiful attendant frowned slightly, a trace of awkwardness appearing on her face.

She looked at Chen Xuanqing, trying to glean more information from his expression.

However, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu could no longer bear to watch. Zhu Zhuqing coughed softly and explained, "He's the disciple of the Spirit Hall's Golden Crocodile Douluo. He's here to discuss an important matter with your Platinum Bishop."

At those words, realization dawned on the beautiful attendant's face.

After all, there were only a handful of people at the Spirit Hall's highest ranks, and their names rang like thunder in Heaven Dou City and throughout the entire Douluo Continent. Naturally, she had heard of them.

The beautiful attendant hurriedly nodded and replied, "Your Highness the Holy Son, forgive my lack of courtesy. I'll inform the Platinum Bishop at once. Please wait a moment."

With that, the beautiful attendant turned and left, leaving Chen Xuanqing, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing waiting where they stood.

Chen Xuanqing gently rubbed his pinched waist, inwardly vowing to reassert his authority as the husband tonight.

Before long, an old man with a head full of silver hair slowly came into view.

He was thin, but his back stood straight and lofty as a mountain peak, exuding an indescribable majesty.

He held an exquisitely carved cane, every step steady and forceful.

Behind him followed the beautiful attendant from earlier, her eyes lowered deferentially as she carefully matched the old man's pace.

The beautiful attendant introduced him softly. "This is our esteemed Platinum Bishop Salas. He oversees the church's important affairs and is deeply respected by all."

Salas stepped forward. "Are you His Highness the Holy Son?"

As he spoke, Bishop Salas studied the boy before him. Seeing his extraordinary bearing and the innate nobility and elegance in his movements, his doubts eased further.

Salas nodded slightly, signaling the beautiful attendant to withdraw.

The attendant understood and tactfully turned to leave, giving them some privacy.

"Bishop Salas, there are too many people and prying eyes here for us to speak at length," Chen Xuanqing said.

Salas replied evenly, "Please follow me. Let's find somewhere quieter and have a proper talk."

At those words, Chen Xuanqing smiled lightly and nodded in agreement. The three followed Salas through the main hall to a secluded, tranquil courtyard.
