Tiandou Empire Palace!
Within Xue Qinghe's palace...
The Serpent Spear Douluo asked with curiosity, "Holy Daughter, these past few days, you seem to have not visited the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. Why is that?"
The undisguised Xue Qinghe glanced at him and explained, "Not long ago, there seems to have been a conflict between the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and the Martial Soul Hall. At such a time, it's better for me not to get involved!"
Although she herself was the goddess of the Martial Soul Hall, in the eyes of others, there was no doubt, she was the real Xue Qinghe!
The Serpent Spear Douluo's expression turned thoughtful, "I see. If you were to intervene, it's very likely that your identity would be exposed."
After a pause, he continued to inquire, "By the way, Holy Daughter, where is that Porcupine fellow? I haven't seen him since today!"
Might he have quietly returned to the Worship Hall to report the situation to the Grand Elder!
Xue Qinghe also explained truthfully, "I sent Porcupine Douluo out to gather information. He should be back very soon!"
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Porcupine Douluo suddenly appeared...
Seeing him, Xue Qinghe's face brightened as she asked, "Porcupine Douluo, what's the situation??"
Porcupine Douluo's expression was peculiar, "Holy Daughter, I was unable to investigate the information you requested, but I did find out quite a bit about that Tang San related to Moon Pavilion!"
No, it should be said that this information didn't need to be investigated at all!
Xue Qinghe furrowed her brows, "Tang San? Has something happened to him?"
Although she needed to take note of this Tang San, he was not yet at the level of warranting alarm!
Porcupine Douluo organized his thoughts and then expounded, "Here's the situation. That Tang San, I don't know what got into him all of a sudden, he attempted to make a move on Xue Ke within the Moon Pavilion."
"As a result, he was personally expelled from the Moon Pavilion by Tang Yuehua!"
Xue Qinghe also showed a look of surprise, "Oh?? Tang Yuehua expelled Tang San from the Moon Pavilion??"
Perhaps the expulsion from the Moon Pavilion was a ruse, the real purpose probably being to save Tang San's life!
After all, the consequences of such an action against Her Royal Highness the Princess of Tiandou Empire were unthinkable!
Of course, it can't be ruled out that Tang San is truly foolish to make a move within the Moon Pavilion!
Thinking of this, she asked, "Where did Tang San go after he left the Moon Pavilion?"
Porcupine Douluo shook his head, "I'm not sure, but one thing is certain, he's not near the Tiandou Empire Palace!"
Otherwise, I would have caught him right away!
Xue Qinghe pursed her lips, "I see. Well, if Tang San is only of that caliber, then there's no need to continue keeping an eye on him!"
But the Serpent Spear Douluo said gravely, "Holy Daughter, we can't be negligent. Xu Sheng said that the boy might break through to God Rank in the future, becoming the Sea God!"
"It's highly likely that his expulsion from the Moon Pavilion was intentional!"
Xue Qinghe offhandedly said, "Mhm, I'm aware!"
What was really troubling her at the moment was another matter!
That was the frequent meetings between Prince Xue Xing's Poison Douluo and Xue Ye these past few days!
Therefore, she couldn't administer the poison during this time!
Furthermore, the latter was a master of poisons. Even a colorless and tasteless poison might not be able to escape his detection!!
For this reason, she could only temporarily stay in the palace and wait for the storm to pass...
...
At that moment, Dugu Yan was looking at Du Gu Bo with a coy face, shaking his arm and saying, "Grandpa, that Xu Sheng is from the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, so he must be in the Pope Hall. Could you take me there?"
Du Gu Bo's eyes bulged, "My dear granddaughter, that place is Martial Soul City. On the surface alone, there are Yueguan and Gui Mei, two Hyper Douluos, and who knows how many more powerful fighters are hidden!"
"Even if I, your grandfather, went, I might not come back unscathed!"
How could Dugu Yan compromise just like that? She spoke up again, "Grandpa, please, just agree!"
Du Gu Bo turned his head and decisively replied, "Impossible, and you're probably not just wanting to see Xu Sheng in going to Martial Soul City, are you? You're likely to take action."
He knew all too well that his granddaughter would seek vengeance without fail!
Especially when it's the boy she likes who's been hurt!
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up as she continued, "Grandpa, I promise I won't take any action, just take me there, please."
With Grandpa doting on her so much, there's no way he would refuse!
Du Gu Bo sighed, "Yan Zi, it's not that Grandpa won't take you; it's that Martial Soul City is just too dangerous!"
When Dugu Yan clearly looked dissatisfied with the same response, she huffed, "Fine, if you won't take me, you won't take me; no need for excuses!"
"Alright then, since you won't take me, I'll just have to find the chance to slip out of the academy. Who knows what might happen then!"
Du Gu Bo's face turned a few shades paler, "Yan Zi, are you trying to force Grandpa's hand?"
The conversation having reached this point, Dugu Yan gave up on making excuses, "Grandpa, I just want Xu Sheng to pay the price, even if it's just yelling at him!"
"Besides, aren't you also very interested in him?"
"Perhaps, there might even be a chance to…"
Du Gu Bo's pupils constricted as he warned, "Yan Zi, let me tell you, that is absolutely not allowed!"
If Xu Sheng were really killed, it wouldn't just be him; even Heaven Dou Royal Academy could very likely be implicated!!
Dugu Yan was also startled, her tone softened a bit, "I... I was just joking, I really didn't want to kill him. But Grandpa, from what you just said, could it be that you agree?"
"Since you put it that way, if I refuse, you'd probably venture to Martial Soul City all by yourself, right?"
So be it, let's go. If those people from Pope Hall really take action, he also had the means to destroy the entire Martial Soul City!
"Thank you, Grandpa, you really are the one who loves me the most!"
That detestable Xu Sheng, wait until I get to Martial Soul City, I'll settle the score with you!
Du Gu Bo rolled his eyes, "Enough, enough. If I agree, I'm a good grandpa, but if I refuse, you'd probably hate me forever. Don't I know you well?"
Dugu Yan playfully stuck out her tongue, "Hehe..."
Du Gu Bo sighed, not wanting to waste more words, "Alright then, tell me, when do you plan to head to Martial Soul City? So Grandpa can prepare too."
Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment before answering, "Hmm... in a little while. Tian Heng has just come out of his dark times; I want to spend more time with him!"
If he suddenly returned to his former self after she left, that would be a loss not worth taking!
Du Gu Bo had expected this response and helplessly said, "You ah, always have Yu Tianheng on your mind. I don't know whether Grandpa is more important or he is!"
Dugu Yan quirked the corner of her mouth, "Of course... both are important!"
"One is my beloved team captain, and the other is my dear grandpa, both are irreplaceable in my life!"
"At least Grandpa didn't raise you for nothing. Go back to the academy, and notify Grandpa when you're ready to go to Martial Soul City!"
With the assurance, Dugu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Mm, Grandpa, then I'll take my leave now!"
