Porcupinefish Douluo continued along the topic Xue Qinghe had raised.
"It was the Great Enshrined's wish."
"And."
"The Great Enshrined also had me bring a message back to the young master."
"He said..."
"This Lu Ning can be useful."
"The young master should continue approaching him, preferably winning his true allegiance to Spirit Hall. Master of the Worship Hall and Papal Deacon of the Papal Deacon Hall are two separate positions."
As Porcupinefish Douluo spoke, he secretly observed Xue Qinghe's reaction.
Xue Qinghe lowered his eyes in thought.

"I understand."
"Has he returned?"
Porcupinefish Douluo nodded.
"He has."
"And he returned even faster than I did. Even I can no longer see through this fellow's strength. If you meet him again, young master, please be careful."
Xue Qinghe waved a hand.
"It's fine."
"I'll invite him for tea tomorrow."
Early the next morning.
Lu Ning climbed off Zhu Zhuqing.

The two headed toward Flender's office.
Before they reached the office.
They had already spotted Flender.
