I really am a Titled Douluo

Only after Qianjun Douluo had disappeared from sight did Bi Bidong finally ask with considerable confusion, "Xu Sheng, why did you agree to them just now? You clearly could have refused!"

Having anticipated the question, Xu Sheng calmly replied, "If I had refused, wouldn't Your Holiness have been in a difficult position?"

"Moreover, as they mentioned, Ghost Charm and Yue Guan are needed to guard Martial Soul City. If the Hao Tian Clan does not agree to meet inside Martial Soul City, I fear we will be short of manpower!"

Bi Bidong clenched her fists and said again, "But, Qian Dao Liu is no good, having his eyes on you, Xu Sheng, puts you in great danger!"

Having dealt with Qian Dao Liu for so many years, she knew his character all too well—he was just like his deceased son, unscrupulous in achieving his goals!

She was afraid that Xu Sheng, due to the slight benefit he received, might trust him!

Xu Sheng seemed to understand her concerns and reassured her, "Rest assured, Your Holiness, I am also very familiar with Qian Dao Liu, and I know he likes to act one way in front of people and another behind their backs."

Bi Bidong pursed her lips and chose to trust him, "Since you are aware, I won't say more, but do be very careful around Xiao Long and Qian Jun!"

"If you discover they have any intentions, tell me immediately!"

The other party was from the future and knew very well what kind of person she was, perhaps the Grand Elder did as well!

Xu Sheng did not overact, "Yes, I will. Then next, it would trouble Your Holiness to have the letter delivered to the imperial palace!"

...

Imperial Palace!

Serpent Spear Douluo respectfully handed a letter to Qian Renxue and said, "Holy Daughter, this letter was sent here from Martial Soul Hall, it seems to be for you!"

Qian Renxue, somewhat surprised, received it and asked, "Hmm? If it's my letter, why didn't anyone from the imperial palace notify me, and you brought it over instead?"

Serpent Spear Douluo, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head, "I was worried the matter might be exposed, so I knocked out the guy in charge of receiving letters at the palace and snatched the letter!"

"Your Highness, this shouldn't cause any issues, right?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback for a moment, not blame him, but instead praised him, "Serpent Spear, thank you. I had forgotten about this!"

"It's good that it was retrieved; otherwise, the contents of this letter might have been known by Xue Ye, this palace is full of his people!"

That would have made things very complicated!

Serpent Spear Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, I'm just doing my duty!"

His tone changed, becoming quite serious, "Is the trace taken care of properly? Don't let it be discovered!"

Naturally, he was referring to the Title Douluo who patrolled the palace endlessly!

Serpent Spear Douluo confidently replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, the person didn't even notice me and fell unconscious. He probably won't remember anything when he wakes up!"

Qian Renxue also expressed her trust, "That's good!"

Then, she opened the letter and quickly skimmed through it…

Her expression turned a bit peculiar for a moment…

Noticing this, Serpent Spear Douluo curiously asked, "Your Highness, is it from Xu Sheng? What did he say?"

Qian Renxue truthfully said, "Xu Sheng agreed to meet with the people from the Hao Tian Clan, but with conditions—he wants to meet inside Martial Soul City!"

Serpent Spear Douluo widened his eyes in disbelief, "What? That's unthinkable, the Hao Tian Clan would definitely not agree; those guys are too afraid of dying!"

The upper three families rarely enter Martial Soul City, fearing ambushes!

But Xu Sheng had actually made such a demand, it was as if he had never hoped for them to agree from the start!

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, "Xu Sheng probably also knows that making this request would be rejected by the Hao Tian Clan; therefore, the purpose of his action must be to seek a compromise!"

That is to say, to make the Hao Tian Clan consciously pick a reasonable location for the meeting!

Serpent Spear Douluo then expressed his doubt, "Holy Daughter, is there a possibility that Xu Sheng is just afraid of death and wants the Hao Tian Clan to meet him in Martial Soul City?"

Qian Renxue glanced at the former and reminded, "Serpent Spear Douluo, you do not understand Xu Sheng; he is not a man who fears death!"

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo curled his lips and muttered quietly, "That's not... Holy Daughter, you haven't seen Xu Sheng many times yourself, have you?"

"Why are you speaking for him now?"

Damn, it seems that even if Xu Sheng isn't in the imperial palace, he can still captivate the heart of the Holy Daughter!

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Serpent Spear Douluo, I'm not speaking for Xu Sheng. Didn't you also interact with him at that time?"

"You should know that his actions and his age have nothing to do with each other!"

She could think of that herself, and surely they could too!

Serpent Spear Douluo sighed, "Alright... even so, Holy Daughter, there was no need for you to send a message to the Grand Elder and have two guest elders protect Xu Sheng."

Protect him even better than herself!

The other incessantly argued back, "Enough, I have my reasons for doing this!!"

...

The next day, inside the Star Luo Empire Palace!

The venue for the exchange tournament had already gathered quite a crowd early on!

Their mood was extremely excited because today the champion of this tournament would be decided, and the showdowns would be even more spectacular than before!

One of the participants remarked, "The top eight teams haven't arrived yet, and yet we, the spectators, are already here. That's really unexpected!"

Another participant rolled his eyes at him, "Of course, today the champion of the exchange tournament will be decided! There are many students like me who are just as excited!"

"Although I'm looking forward to the upcoming matches, I feel there's something off about today's weather, I have an ominous premonition!!"

"Please, you're overthinking it. This is the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire; it's heavily guarded. It isn't a place anyone can easily disturb."

"That's not necessarily true, don't forget about those evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult who infiltrated the Xingluo Land before us; they might stir up trouble right when the confrontations are about to end!"

"Shh... don't talk about such things. Let's not let the soldiers of the palace hear us!"

Finally, after several more minutes, Emperor Dai Tianling and the Imperial Ministers also arrived at the venue...

As he sat on the imperial throne, looking at the lively scene, he nodded slightly, "Hmm, it looks like these students are quite spirited!"

Then, he glanced at Pan Wen and said, "Let's start!"

Pan Wen, upon hearing this, announced loudly, "Everyone quiet down!"

The noisy venue instantly fell silent, everyone's eyes tightly on him, waiting for what was to come...

Pan Wen briefly outlined the rules and then declared, "Now, the first match, Star Luo Monster Academy versus Star Luo Imperial Academy."
