I really am a Titled Douluo

Jiang Long Douluo looked at the polite demeanor of Qianjun Douluo and felt somewhat dumbfounded...

Wasn't Xu Sheng just a somewhat talented child? Although he was taken seriously by the eldest brother, there was no need to be so courteous!

Besides, they had traveled a thousand miles to come here; shouldn't the other party be grateful?

Xu Sheng spoke unflinchingly, "Under the orders of the Grand Elder? But I currently don't have any situation that requires help!"

Could it be that Qian Renxue had spread the news back to the Worship Hall?

And that Grand Elder wanted to use this opportunity to win him over!

Qianjun Douluo spoke again, "Xu Sheng, we knew before we came that someone from the Hao Tian Clan wished to meet you. If you were to go alone, it would be very dangerous!"

"However, with our protection, the Hao Tian Clan won't be able to lay a finger on you!!"

Jiang Long Douluo chimed in, "That's right, we are real Hyper Douluo powerhouses, utterly different from the likes of Ghost Charm and Yue Guan in the Pope Hall!!"

In their eyes, although Yue Guan and Ghost Charm had also reached the Hyper Douluo level, they were not much to speak of—simply luckier than most!

Bibi Dong, irritated by their insinuations, coldly retorted, "Jiang Long, Qian Jun, what do you mean by that? Xu Sheng is my disciple, and it's natural that I would send someone to protect him. It's not your place to interfere!"

Jiang Long Douluo provocatively glanced at her, "Send someone to protect Xu Sheng? Don't make me laugh, just with your subordinates Yue Guan and Ghost Charm? They're no match for the Hao Tian Sect Elders!"

"Moreover, if I'm not guessing wrong, they have to guard Martial Soul City, right? Otherwise, you, the Pope, would be in jeopardy yourself, hahaha!"

Qianjun Douluo didn't speak, but he seemed to agree wholeheartedly...

Bibi Dong wanted to argue, but she choked back her words...

Just as they had speculated, either Yue Guan or Ghost Charm needed to guard Martial Soul City; otherwise, should any mishap occur, she alone wouldn't be able to quell it!

At this moment, Xu Sheng respectfully said, "Thank you both for your kindness, but I trust that Her Holiness will protect my safety; there's no need to trouble yourselves!"

With that statement, he undoubtedly enraged Jiang Long Douluo, "Xu Sheng, don't bite the hand that feeds you. If it weren't for the Grand Elder's orders, do you really think we'd deign to protect someone like you??"

This guy, taking advantage yet pretending as if he's doing others a favor!

Xu Sheng's demeanor did not change as he gestured, "If that's the case, there's no need to force yourselves, please leave!"

Jiang Long Douluo, red-faced with anger, clenched his fists, "You, it seems like you need a good lesson on knowing your place in this world..."

In an instant, his entire being emanated his Martial Soul...

Almost at the same moment, Qianjun Douluo and Bibi Dong shouted out to stop him, "Stop!!"

Jiang Long Douluo suddenly came to his senses...

What had he just done??

He was about to strike someone the eldest brother wanted to win over!

Damn it, luckily he came to his senses in time!

Bibi Dong stood up, her voice laced with a hint of threat, "Jiang Long, this is the Pope Hall. Don't get too carried away, or else, no matter who you are, you will pay the price!"

To make a move against Xu Sheng in the Pope Hall was like slapping her own face—it could not be tolerated!

However, Qianjun Douluo managed to downplay the issue with a single sentence...

"Your Holiness, you're being too harsh. Jiang Long was just overzealous in his will to rescue, and he lost his composure for a moment, no offense taken!"

Then, he turned to Jiang Long casting a warning gaze...

"Jiang Long, why don't you step out for now; leave this to me!"

Jiang Long Douluo hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Fine!"

Anyway, if he continued to stay, who knows if he would get angered again!

It would be better to leave this matter to Qian Jun for negotiation…

Having said that, he gave Bi Bidong a fierce glare, then turned and left the main hall…

Qianjun Douluo then took a deep breath and once again addressed Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, the recent incident was just a minor interlude, and it won't affect the relationship between the Worship Hall and you!"

"However, the matter of protecting you is, after all, an order from the Grand Elder, and we cannot defy it!"

Bi Bidong's eyes flickered, and she conveyed via voice transmission, "Xu Sheng, what he said is indeed true, that Qian Dao Liu is ruthless and will not tolerate anyone questioning his decisions!"

"However, you can also firmly refuse them, and if anything happens, you'll have the Pope Hall to back you up!"

After all, if this matter gets back to the Worship Hall, the ones who won't be able to get away with it will be those two!

Xu Sheng pondered for a while, "Fine, since the Grand Elder kindly sent the two of you to protect me, then I will reluctantly accept!"

Bi Bidong was stunned for a moment, somewhat unclear as to what the other party was implying…

And Qianjun Douluo was even more puzzled; the other party had just appeared quite unwilling, yet now he had so easily changed his attitude…

"Hmm??"

But he quickly came to a realization…

"If that's the case, then naturally that's good. On the way back to the Worship Hall, Xiao Long and I will definitely protect your safety!!"

"Additionally, here's a small token, please accept it as an apology for Xiao Long's earlier rudeness!"

Said that, he handed over an item that had obviously been prepared in advance!

Xu Sheng accepted it and then said to Bi Bidong, "Your Holiness, I'm afraid it will be troublesome for you to arrange accommodations for Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo!"

Bi Bidong replied with a profound meaning, "Alright, I will have someone arrange it. As long as they behave themselves and don't cause any trouble, that'll be fine!"

Qianjun Douluo nodded slightly, "In that case, many thanks to Your Holiness!"

…

After Qianjun Douluo came out, Jiang Long Douluo, still with a disgruntled face, asked, "How did the negotiation go? Is that Xu Sheng still unwilling to accept our protection?"

The former shook his head, "No, he accepted it. But I always feel that something is off!"

Jiang Long Douluo was somewhat confused, "What do you mean?"

Qianjun Douluo stroked his chin in thought, "Ever since meeting Xu Sheng, all of his reactions have been too subdued. This is not typical of a child his age!"

Jiang Long Douluo scoffed, "Ha? Maybe it's all an act. Who knows how scared he was when he rejected us!"

"Or perhaps, he has been indoctrinated by Pope Bibi Dong with many views against our Worship Hall!"

Qianjun Douluo sighed, not wanting to explain any further, "Jiang Long, when will your intelligence improve? That Xu Sheng is definitely not simple, I can assure you of that!!"

Now he understood why the Grand Elder valued Xu Sheng so much, even willing to offer so many soul bones to win him over!

The perplexed Jiang Long Douluo waved his hand, "I don't understand what you mean, but you can handle the later matters."

"Although it will be a bit uncomfortable before we return to the Worship Hall, it is, after all, a mission entrusted by the Grand Elder!"
