Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and said again in a softer tone, "Holy Daughter... Hulena, we have never met before, so there shouldn't be any conflicts, right?"
Hulena raised an eyebrow, "We indeed have no conflicts!"
"But likewise, there's also no reason for closeness!"
Shui Yue'er muttered, "What a strong smell of gunpowder, could it be that Martial Soul Hall's Holy Daughter also has feelings for Xu Sheng?"
Shen Liuyu smacked his lips, "It's obvious at a glance, no wonder she's been constantly releasing hostility since we arrived here!"
Snow Dance said expressionlessly, "So what? Even if she is the goddess of Martial Soul Hall, that doesn't give her the right to make others give up pursuing Xu Sheng, does it?"
Sure enough, Shui Bing'er's eyes became more serious, "Is that so? I personally think that treating guests with such an attitude would tarnish the title of Martial Soul Hall's Holy Daughter!"
Hulena was far from timid, retorting, "Indeed, that's the case, but Skywater Academy is not considered a guest by Martial Soul Hall!"
Those words directly provoked Shui Yue'er and the others to glare angrily...
What she had just said undoubtedly meant that Skywater Academy was not worthy of being a guest of Martial Soul Hall!
How could they pretend not to hear such an insult!!
Seeing her provocation succeed, Hulena went on to say, "What now? Are the people of Skywater Academy planning to make a move inside Pope Hall? Have you thought through the consequences?"
At her words, the other members of the Golden Generation also started to gather around her...
Shui Bing'er had no choice but to clench her fists, suppressing the anger welling up inside her, and stopped Shui Yue'er and the others...
If a fight broke out inside Pope Hall, not even the dean of Skywater Academy coming in person could save them!
Thinking of this, she replied coldly, "The goddess misunderstands, we have no intention of starting a fight, but we will surely convey your recent words to the teachers at Skywater Academy!"
Hulena's lips curled up, "That's good to hear, otherwise, Skywater Academy might suffer an undue disaster because of you all!"
Yueguan watched the dispute between the two with interest, without any intention of intervening!
As the goddess, she hadn't let Martial Soul Hall down, which he found very satisfactory!
As for Xu Sheng, how would you resolve this conflict?
He waved his hand and said, "You all continue, I'll be leaving now, but a word of warning: if you dare to start a fight inside Pope Hall, you will bear the consequences!"
As he left, the atmosphere in the room became even more oppressive...
At this moment, Flame, eager to see the scene become even more chaotic, leaned in close to Xu Sheng and whispered, "Hey, Xu Sheng, don't just stand by and watch, this conflict started because of you, it wouldn't be right not to resolve it!"
Evil Moon also came over, speaking gravely, "Although Flame's words are a bit unpleasant to hear, we should indeed not let the situation deteriorate further!!"
Even though Martial Soul Hall feared no confrontation with Skywater Academy, it was still better to avoid conflict if possible!
Xu Sheng sighed, "Nana, Shui Bing'er, both of you calm down!"
There was no denying that Yueguan had indeed brought some trouble for him this time!
…
After leaving, Yueguan went straight to the great hall inside Pope Hall...
He bowed and said, "Your Holiness the Pope!"
Before he could speak further, Bi Bidong, who sat in the Pope's Chair, said in an indifferent tone, "Yueguan, it seems I have sensed several unfamiliar Soul Power Auras that do not belong to members of Martial Soul Hall."
Yueguan nodded slightly, explaining, "Yes, Your Holiness, those female students are from Skywater Academy!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong showed a hint of surprise, "Oh? Skywater Academy?"
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Skywater Academy had absolutely no connection with Martial Soul Hall!
Then she pressed, "And what was their purpose for coming here?"
Yueguan replied truthfully, "It seems they came to thank Xu Sheng because he saved these people in the Aquipeia Forest!"
Bi Bidong nodded to show her understanding, then lost interest in the topic...
"Besides that, Yueguan, how is the investigation going!"
As her words fell, Yueguan's expression also became much more serious...
"Your Holiness, these past few days, I have been investigating that matter and indeed found some discrepancies!"
"Those who were attacked..."
...
After listening to Yueguan's report, Bi Bidong revealed a contemplative look...
"So you mean, the ones launching attacks at various places within the Tiandou Empire may not necessarily be soul beasts?"
Yueguan replied with an utmost certain tone, "Yes, Your Holiness, if they were soul beasts, they would have launched continuous attacks around the same area. However, subsequent attacks did not happen in the same region!"
"It seems that Xu Sheng was not making baseless claims, but held some kind of evidence!"
Indeed, until that moment, she had treated Xu Sheng's words as a joke, merely concocted to gain entry to Martial Soul Hall!
But now, that thought began to waver...
With this in mind, she immediately ordered, "Once Xu Sheng has dealt with the matters at the Skywater Academy, have him come to see me!"
"I want to ask about some things concerning abyssal creatures!!"
Yueguan didn't dare to be careless and cupped his fists, saying, "Yes, Your Holiness!"
...
Finally, by evening, Xu Sheng had seen off all the people from the Skywater Academy...
As he turned to Hulena, ready to say something...
She, however, puffed up with anger, turned around, and swiftly left...
Flame seized the opportunity and quickly followed after her...
"Nana, cool down a bit. Actually, you can't blame the female students of the Skywater Academy, it's all because of Xu Sheng..."
Hulena rebuked, "Go away!!"
Yet Flame did not give up easily, shamelessly continuing, "Nana, don't be angry, at least I am not as fickle as Xu Sheng!!"
Seeing this, Evil Moon came over, patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder, and said, "Xu Sheng, don't worry. Nana is probably just a little angry, she'll be fine tomorrow!"
"However, this also shows that she really likes you. In fact, as Nana's brother, it's my first time seeing her so confrontational with someone else!"
Although his sister liked Xu Sheng, he was always unclear about the latter's thoughts. This was a good opportunity to probe further!
However, Xu Sheng let out a sigh of relief and said sentimentally, "That's good, today I really didn't expect Shui Bing'er and the others would come to Martial Soul City and cause such trouble!"
Evil Moon, slightly incredulous, probed further, "Xu Sheng, what do you think about Nana?"
Xu Sheng replied without hesitation, "Quite good, her character is gentle and her cultivation talent is also very excellent!"
Evil Moon's eyes lit up, pressing on, "Does that mean I can take it as you being interested in Nana?"
But this time, Xu Sheng gave an ambiguous answer, "Evil Moon, everyone's average age hasn't even reached ten years old; such matters, how can one judge?"
Evil Moon scratched his head awkwardly, "That... haha, yes, you're right, after all, Xu Sheng, you've only arrived a few days ago"
