Chapter 94 I’m here to poach someone

Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.

Ta-ta-ta, the sound of crisp footsteps echoed through the great hall as an upright black shadow stopped at the bottom of the main staircase.

"What is it?"

Above the main throne, a graceful figure crossed her long straight legs, her tall and upright body slightly reclined, looking down with her head titled low, her voice pleasant to the ear yet full of majesty.

"Your Holiness, the Bishop of Fasinuo province of Heaven Dou Empire has reported that the Nuoding City branch within his jurisdiction has recently experienced a matter that will enhance the reputation of the Martial Spirit Hall. Your servant has already read it and believes that it can indeed be used as a model to promote and honour our merit, so I have come here to ask your Holiness to make a decision." The black shadow clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it on his lower abdomen, bowed slightly and said in a respectful tone.

"Oh?" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, and with a slight nod, she faintly spoke, "Tell me about it."

"Yes!" Ghost Douluo responded respectfully, then straightened up and continued, "Deacon Su Yuntao of the Nuoding City Branch Hall had awakened the martial souls of civilian children in a village named Holy Spirit Village in his periphery, and among them, there was a child named Lin Manshan who awakened a weapon that possessed a Level 3..."

"Is that the child whose martial soul mutated and was unable to generate a spirit ring and spirit skill?" Bibi Dong interjected.

"Yes, Your Holiness Supreme Pontiff."

Ghost Douluo bowed slightly.

As a subordinate, reporting things would be like this, the boss might or might not remember, so one would have to go through the process all over again. If the boss interrupted in the middle of the process, then it meant that he/she still remembered the matter. If the boss didn't interrupt, then one had to go over the matter again.

It was also the first time he had heard of the sudden appearance of a spirit master on the continent whose martial soul could not generate a spirit ring and spirit skill.

For this reason, it had been reported once before, but because the innate spirit power was only at level 3, Bibi Dong, the boss, thought that there was no value in looking deep into it and left it alone.

"According to the report submitted, this child has already left Nuoding City in preparation for travelling to Heaven Dou City to participate in the continent-wide Spirit Master Tournament and should be on his way right now. However, before leaving, he had travelled to the branch of the Martial Spirit Hall in Nuoding City and privately donated 100,000 gold soul coins." Ghost Douluo continued.

"100,000 gold soul coins," Bibi Dong's face also had a trace of surprise.

For a civilian spirit master, this was not a small amount.

"That's right, Your Holiness, it's exactly 100,000 gold soul coins." Ghost Douluo reconfirmed, then said, "Since this child became a spirit master, in addition to the day he got his warrant when he was given 1 gold soul coin as a subsidy by Nuoding City's Administrative Deacon, Matthew Nuo, who took the initiative to hand out the subsidy, after that, he never collected it once more in the Martial Spirit Hall, but instead, he visited year after year to send gifts and had a very deep bond with Matthew Nuo and Su Yuntao."

A golden soul coin returned back with 100,000...

Bibi Dong's face was instantly a little shaken as she sat up straight and nodded, "Elder Ghost, hand over the report."

"Yes!" Ghost Douluo quickly pulled out the report from his spirit tool and handed it over, and in the next second, a suction force appeared out of thin air and pulled the report away.

In a short while, Bibi Dong's slightly emotional murmur sounded out, "Truly a child who knows how to repay favours."

"However, this child seems to be concerned about his civilian status, worried about attracting trouble, and does not wish for this matter to be publicised." Bibi Dong's beautiful fingers tapped on the edge of the seat, and then she said, "Elder Ghost, send someone to make a trip to Heaven Dou City."

Outside of Heaven Dou City, the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

After more than ten days of bumpy carriage ride, Lin Manshan looked up at the large mountain in front of him which was as high as a thousand metres, and then returned his gaze to the wide lake at the foot of the mountain as well as the surrounding lush vegetation of various colours, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel emotionally moved.

"It's so atmospheric."

"Based on the mountains and accompanied by water, indeed it's a good place." Zhu Zhuyun commented expressively.

"Indeed." Lin Manshan nodded, then his eyes glanced ahead to the right side of the opal-carved stone steps, and through the gaps in the trees, he could vaguely see a circular platform at the back with a diameter of about three metres, edged by a circle of tightly sealed stone chairs, on which ten youths were seated.

One of the youths at the centre was glancing back and forth towards the three women with a light and flirty gaze.

"Could it possibly be Xue Beng?" Lin Man Shan stroked his chin and politely shouted softly, "Is it Prince Xue Beng up ahead?"

"Bold, who are you people? How dare you call out the Fourth Prince by his real name!" Along with a loud rebuke, ta-ta-ta-ta, the sound of hurried and disorganised footsteps came.

Afterwards, ten young spirit masters walked quickly from the right resting area to the steps and lined up in order.

The youth in the lead looked at Lin Manshan up and down, then slightly raised his chin with a frivolous look on his face and looked at Zhu Zhuyun three girls condescendingly, "Kid, calling out the imperial prince directly is a felony. Of course, if you can give the three female companions behind you to this Imperial Prince-"

Before the words were spoken, Lin Manshan had already nodded his head, "Hm!"

Xue Beng was first stunned, then his face showed joy, and his expression was even more condescending, but then he heard Lin Manshan continue, "Not only these three, but I will also let Grandpa Dugu Bo personally send her granddaughter Dugu Yan along to the door, and in the meantime, I will help you loosen your every bone, rub your shoulders, and whatnot."

His expression froze, his neck subconsciously shrank, and he used a tentative tone, "What kind of person are you to Senior Dugu?"

Calling out the name of a Titled Douluo in public, was not something that just anyone would dare to do unless they really knew each other and were still very close to each other.

He understood Dugu Bo's temperament, both good and evil, every word counted, and talking nonsense would cause death.

"I'm about to go up to find Dugu Yan right now, if the Fourth Prince wants to know, wouldn't you know if you follow me up yourself." Lin Manshan smiled kindly, then nodded slightly, "If you don't want to follow, please trouble the Fourth Prince to provide us some path to go up."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the steps and stepped up, and the three women followed suit.

Xue Beng and the others were sensible enough to quickly make a path forward.

Looking at the four people walking away, a lackey beside Xue Beng came forward and asked, "Your Highness, do we need to follow up?"

"Follow up, follow up and seek abuse?" Xue Beng turned around and spat, and waved his sleeve to leave.

Dugu Yan is Dugu Bo's only granddaughter, and like Dugu Bo, she is a person who cares about every word, if she knows that he has wronged her acquaintance, she won't care if he is a prince or not, she will definitely curse him on the spot.

He is not a fool, this guy dared to go up directly to find the person, so he is definitely an acquaintance.

The remaining few lackeys looked at each other in dismay and hurriedly followed.

On the other hand, Lin Manshan, who was halfway up the steps, encountered another obstacle, a smiling middle-aged man.

Standing on the steps, his tone was very cordial, "My name is Sun Buyei, several of you are here to find Miss Dugu?"

Lin Manshan looked up at this old fellow who had just been eavesdropping and watching from afar, smiled and arched his hand, "Junior Lin Manshan, I've met Teacher Sun."

Saying this, he nodded slightly, "That's right, we have come here precisely to meet with Miss Dugu."

"However, this is the first time we have all come here, so to avoid any unwarranted behaviour, we still hope that Teacher Sun can guide us."

"Well spoken, few little friends, please." Sun Buyei smiled and sidestepped to lead the way.

While walking, he introduced the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to several people.

To introduce so meticulously, it couldn't be that he thought we had come here to join the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, could it?

Lin Manshan's face always maintained a smile, but in his heart, he thought, 'If this Teacher Sun knows afterwards that I'm here to poach someone with a strong background, will he be furious and curse straight out?'

Thinking of this possibility, he replied with a tone that was once again a few points more polite, as a sign of comfort.

This kid is polite, and it's unknown what exactly his relationship with Dugu Bo is. Sun Buyei smiled warmly, inwardly satisfied.

To be able to form a relationship with Dugu grandfather and granddaughter, he thought that his capabilities should not be bad, it would be good if he could join the academy, and it would be good if the four of them could join all at once.

They walked towards the interior of the academy with mutual pleasant conversation.
