Seeing that Tang Yuehua's silhouette still hadn't appeared, Xue Beng felt a bit puzzled. "Tang Xuanzhu hasn't arrived yet? She's not someone who would be easily late like this!"
Although he hadn't interacted with her directly, he had learned about her through various channels!
She absolutely wasn't someone who would casually stand others up!
Could it be that something had happened?
Du Gu Bo only raised an eyebrow slightly but refrained from saying anything...
After all, this was personally requested by Prince Xue Xing...
Noticing the situation, the woman present finally realized that the two individuals in front of her were already showing signs of impatience. She immediately replied, "Lord Xue Beng, please wait for a moment. Xuanzhu just returned to the Moon Pavilion recently and may be preparing for something!"
She couldn't understand why Xuanzhu had agreed to teach this idle and spoiled Xue Beng!
Examining his reputation closely, within the Tiandou Empire Palace, it was truly infamous!
If this weren't handled well, it might ruin the Moon Pavilion's prestigious name!
However, she hoped he would be tactful enough not to create chaos inside the Moon Pavilion!
Surprisingly, the expected loud commotion did not occur…
Xue Beng simply nodded understandingly. "No problem. Then we'll wait a bit longer. It's not as though we are short on time anyway."
Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but utter a faint sound of surprise. "Huh??"
Lord Xue Beng actually responded so calmly?
It was far from what she had anticipated!
Xue Beng naturally knew what her reaction meant, but he wouldn't bother explaining; he wanted his actions to prove that he wasn't the wastrel described in the rumors!
"What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
The woman hurriedly shook her head in denial. "No, I just feel that Lord Xue Beng doesn't seem like the way the rumors describe. My mistake!"
And so, minutes later...
The person responsible for conveying the message came back from inside...
Fixing their gaze on Xue Beng, wearing an apologetic expression, they said, "Lord Xue Beng, I'm deeply sorry. Over the past few days, Tang Xuanzhu has been unwell and probably cannot teach you etiquette. How about postponing a few days instead?"
After saying this, they even prepared for the possibility of being chastised...
Upon hearing this, Xue Beng couldn't help furrowing his brows...
Earlier they said Tang Xuanzhu was physically and mentally tired and needed some preparation?
Now they're suggesting postponement...
Could it be that she had changed her mind??
At this moment, Du Gu Bo reached out and pressed his hand on Xue Beng's shoulder...
"Lord Xue Beng, why are you zoning out?"
Though seemingly concerned, it was actually a subtle reminder!
Xue Beng quickly snapped back to reality and adjusted his mood...
"Since Tang Xuanzhu is unwell, I naturally won't insist. I'll come back another day!"
"By that time, I hope Tang Xuanzhu has already recovered!"
The woman froze for a second before nodding and replying, "Yes, Lord Xue Beng, I will relay this to Tang Xuanzhu!"
Xue Beng then turned to Du Gu Bo. "Poison Douluo, let's go!"
The latter said nothing and quietly left the Moon Pavilion alongside him...
After their auras disappeared, the teachers of the Moon Pavilion couldn't help but start gossiping...
"Lord Xue Beng is quite different from what we imagined. He doesn't seem arrogant or overbearing at all!"
"Really? Could it be that Lord Xue Beng is pretending, so Xuanzhu doesn't refuse to teach him?"
"Idiot! That kind of attitude can't be faked. It's obvious Lord Xue Beng was hiding his true abilities during his learning days at the Moon Pavilion!"
"Hiss—so it seems that Lord Xue Beng, like the Crown Prince, is an excellent imperial heir!"
"We've misunderstood Lord Xue Beng all this time. We didn't expect him to be the victim of slander!"
...
Worship Hall!
Jincroc Elder glanced at Qian Dao Liu, who was in a rather good mood, and said, "Big Brother, the Hao Tian Clan and Tang Hao's group have completely left. We can no longer sense their presence!"
The latter merely responded with a faint "Hmm..."
With his spiritual power, he had long since detected the departure of Tang Hao's group from this area...
Seeing this, Jincroc Elder immediately changed the topic, saying, "In addition, Snake Spear recently came by — it seems the Holy Daughter has something she wants to convey to you!"
Upon hearing about Qian Renxue, Qian Dao Liu immediately grew serious...
"Xiao Xue? What does she want to tell me?"
Jincroc Elder quickly continued, "The Holy Daughter said that Tang San and Xu Sheng have a rather close relationship. If you kill him, you might offend the latter!"
"At that point, even she might not be able to win him over!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Dao Liu fell silent for several dozen seconds...
The relation between Xu Sheng and Tang San was something he had already investigated as soon as capturing the latter...
However, even so, he was unwilling to let Tang San go!
After all, if not for Tang Hao, his own son, Qian Xun Ji, wouldn't have been...
Thinking of this, an intense killing intent surged in his eyes before quickly dissipating...
"Xiao Xue worries too much. I don't plan to kill Tang San!"
"I just want to use him to exact revenge on Tang Hao and the others!"
Jincroc Elder's mouth twitched slightly...
Really...really?
Big Brother looks like he wants to rip Tang San into pieces!
If it weren't for the plan...
Still, what Big Brother says goes!!
After taking a deep breath, Qian Dao Liu said, "Go send someone to inform Xiao Xue that I have everything handled. I won't offend Xu Sheng because of Tang San. She can rest easy and focus on her own matters!"
Compared to Xu Sheng, Tang San's worthless name isn't much of a threat!
Jincroc Elder nodded briskly. "Understood, Big Brother!"
"Just that the imperial palace seems to have bolstered security recently. Should Snake Spear and Citun be called back to have them protect her?"
Within the Worship Hall, Snake Spear and Citun were far from notable!
Encountering a powerful Soul Master would leave them incapable of adequately protecting Qian Renxue!
Qian Dao Liu waved his hand dismissively. "No need. While Snake Spear and Citun's individual strengths may be mediocre, if they join forces, they can take on even a Hyper Douluo in combat!"
"Having them protect Xiao Xue is enough!"
The number of Hyper Douluo on the Continent could be counted on two hands — not to mention that the Worship Hall already possessed the majority!
Jincroc Elder said no more, offering a brief acknowledgment before turning away to leave...
After his departure, Qian Dao Liu slowly walked to his seat, sat down, closed his eyes, and murmured softly, "Tang San, oh Tang San... Let's see if you can surprise me in the future. After all, the Worship Hall has already poured quite a lot of resources into cultivating you!"
Even his Soul Rings were provided from the very finest sources!
Pausing for a moment, he opened his eyes again, his face grave. "And then, there's that self-proclaimed time-traveler Xu Sheng. What's his true identity?"
"Innate Soul Power Level Ninety... Is such an overwhelmingly gifted individual truly possible on this Continent??"
He realized that aside from the confidential information relayed by Qian Renxue, the Worship Hall knew very little about this mysterious, enigmatic child!
