I really am a Titled Douluo

The next day!

Inside the grand hall!

A Martial Soul Hall member responsible for delivering messages solemnly presented a letter, saying, "Your Holiness, a letter has arrived from the Hao Tian Clan!"

Bi Bidong sneered as she took it...

"Hmph, I thought those guys would take some time to consider, but I didn't expect them to send a reply so quickly!"

"It seems that their invitation to Xu Sheng through the royal household really does have ulterior motives!"

If she wasn't mistaken, the letter from the Hao Tian Clan would certainly refuse to meet in Martial Soul City and would propose a new location instead!

With that thought, she opened the letter and glanced through it casually...

Several seconds later, she mused, "Indeed, these guys indeed disagree with the proposal to meet in Martial Soul City, but... proposing to meet at the imperial palace, now that is interesting!"

It was unclear whether this was the idea of the Hao Tian Clan or the royal household...

Seeing her expression, the Martial Soul Hall member cautiously asked, "Your Holiness, should I inform Elder Gui and Elder Ju?"

Bi Bidong, unusually, did not refuse, "Mmm... call them over!"

After the words fell, the former nodded and turned to leave...

Not long after, Ghost Charm and Yue Guan also walked in...

They saluted, "Your Holiness!!"

Bi Bidong glanced at them, speaking indifferently, "You've arrived, you've worked hard these days!"

Recently, to prevent Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo from plotting anything untoward within the Pope Hall, she had specifically assigned Ghost Charm and Yue Guan to keep watch...

Yue Guan felt unexpectedly honored, "You flatter us, Your Holiness. It's no trouble at all working for Martial Soul Hall!"

Ghost Charm directly asked, "Your Holiness, did you call for us for a reason?"

Bi Bidong nodded affirmatively, "Mmm... Have Jiang Long and Qian Jun shown any unusual movements lately?"

Ghost Charm hesitated for a moment before answering, "Your Holiness, since they were assigned to the Pope Hall, they haven't done anything that draws attention."

"Only... they occasionally visit Xu Sheng, and I fear they might be trying to win him over!"

Bi Bidong propped her chin thoughtfully, "Oh? These two are surprisingly compliant..."

Yue Guan then suggested, "Your Holiness, regarding this matter, I think we should summon Xu Sheng here!"

Speaking of winning over, the conditions offered by the Worship Hall are surely far better than those from the Pope Hall, Xu Sheng might already have defected!

Bi Bidong raised an eyebrow, curious, "Really, Yue Guan, you suspect Xu Sheng has betrayed me?"

Yue Guan also voiced his inner thoughts, "Your Holiness, if the Worship Hall offers better conditions, this young man might not stand with us!"

"It's best to be cautious!"

Even Ghost Charm couldn't help adding, "Your Holiness, Yue Guan may have a point!"

Although I have some understanding of Xu Sheng, nothing is absolute!

However, Bi Bidong was not swayed by their emotions and remained very calm...

"Rest assured, Xu Sheng will not betray me!"

Yue Guan was puzzled, "Your Holiness, why do you say that? Surely that Xu Sheng doesn't deserve such trust from you?"

"We are only willing to assist him for the upcoming Continent-wide Soul Master Elite Competition!"

He had no idea why the former trusted Xu Sheng so much!

Bi Bidong smiled slightly, "Because one day, I personally verified something!"

"This Xu Sheng will not be my enemy!"

Yue Guan and Ghost Charm exchanged glances, both somewhat baffled...

"In the end, is this blind trust, Your Holiness?"

Seeing that they still did not understand, Bi Bidong was too lazy to explain...

"Alright, let's not discuss this now. Since Jiang Long and Qian Jun are sufficiently well-behaved, there's no need to take any measures against them!"

As long as these two guys stay in line, she could afford to ignore them!

Yue Guan and Ghost Charm thoughtfully nodded their heads...

Then, they seemed to notice the letter in Bi Bidong's hand...

"Your Holiness, what is that?"

Bi Bidong pursed her lips, "This is a letter from the Hao Tian Clan, they've refused to meet in Martial Soul City and propose the imperial palace as the meeting place!"

Yue Guan widened his eyes, "Has the Hao Tian Clan gone mad? Refusing to meet in Martial Soul City is one thing, but using the imperial palace as the meeting place?"

Ghost Charm said gravely, "I fear it's more than that. Likely, the Hao Tian Clan wants to drag the royal household into this matter!"

Yue Guan frowned, "There's absolutely no need for that, right? Isn't it just the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire who's the go-between?"

Ghost Charm took a deep breath, "No, there's another possibility!"

"That is, the only one aware of this matter is the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, not Xue Ye!"

Bi Bidong commended, "Ghost Charm is right, the Emperor of Tiandou Empire doesn't know about this!"

"However, choosing the imperial palace as the meeting place, they won't be able to remain unaware!"

Ghost Charm pressed, "Then Your Holiness, since Hao Tian Clan has arbitrarily changed the meeting place, should we refuse?"

Bi Bidong chuckled lightly, "Refuse? Why refuse? Using the imperial palace as the meeting place is a fine choice!"

If she remembered correctly, beside Qian Renxue, there should also be two guest elders from the Worship Hall, both at least at the Title Douluo level!

And for this venture, both Jiang Long and Qian Jun, these two Hyper Douluo, were also responsible for protecting Xu Sheng...

In time, the Title Douluo in the Martial Soul Hall within the imperial palace would number four...

Even if warriors from the Hao Tian Clan turned out in full force, they would not be able to trouble Xu Sheng!

However, Ghost Charm was unaware of all this, merely nodding, "Right, with Qian Jun and Jiang Long there as guest elders, there should be no danger!"

"Moreover, making a move inside the imperial palace, the Hao Tian Clan would also need to consider the emperor's stance!"

However, Yue Guan still harbored doubts, "I don't think Jiang Long and Qian Jun will necessarily protect Xu Sheng properly. Who knows, they might just tie him up and deliver him to the Worship Hall!"

Once inside, with so many Soul Master warriors stationed there, Xu Sheng wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to!

Yet, Bi Bidong waved her hand dismissively, "You need not worry about these things. If Qian Dao Liu wanted to do that, they probably would have done it long ago!"

"Besides, it wasn't Qian Dao Liu's command from the start that Qian Jun and Jiang Long protect Xu Sheng!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan and Ghost Charm immediately thought of a name...

However, they tactfully did not mention it, fearing it might provoke her dissatisfaction...

After all, given the nature of their relationship, calling them mother and daughter was a bit of a stretch!

"Alright, Ghost Charm, stay behind, I still have things to discuss. As for Yue Guan, go and inform Xu Sheng about this matter immediately and ask for his opinion!"
