Chapter 4 The Seventh Elder of the Elder Hall, Dugu Bo.
Qian Xunji glanced indifferently at Prince Xuexing outside, not taking him seriously at all. Even if Emperor Xueye came, he wouldn't be a match for him!
If Qian Xunji hadn't come this time, and instead sent Yue Guan and Gui Meidi, Dugu Bo would likely have been rescued by Prince Xue Xing, thus becoming a guest minister of the Tian Dou Empire.
"Dugu Bo, have you made up your mind?"
Qian Xunji tapped the table rhythmically with her fingers, each tap seemingly striking Dugu Bo's heart.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, his emerald green vertical pupils staring at Qian Xunji as he opened his mouth.
"Your Holiness, I am willing to join the Spirit Hall, but I have one condition!"
Qian Xunji then said, "You speak."
"I am naturally aloof and do not like to communicate or get along with people. Therefore, I hope that after joining the Spirit Hall, I can have some peace and quiet so that I can study antidotes."
"Of course, if His Holiness the Pope needs my help, I will certainly not refuse!"
Qian Xunji said, "Granted! This Pope will also help find an antidote."
"Your Highness, I thank you!"
Dugu Bo knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
Originally, he didn't want to join any faction, but given the current situation, he had no choice!
Qian Xunji got up and walked out of the wooden house. Dugu Bo and the other person quickly followed. When Yue Guan and Gui Mei saw Qian Xunji come out, they quickly stood respectfully behind him.
"Prince Xue Xing of the Heavenly Dou Empire greets His Holiness the Pope."
Prince Xuexing immediately replied respectfully.
Qian Xunji said calmly, "What brings Prince Xuexing here with such a large force?"
"It's to pick up Mr. Dugu. We would appreciate it if Your Highness could do us a favor."
At this moment, Prince Di Xuexing adopted an extremely humble posture. Although he could uphold the dignity of a prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire in front of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, he dared not do so in front of Qian Xunji.
"oh?"
Chihiro looked puzzled.
"I wonder what brings Prince Xuexing to meet Elder Dugu of the Spirit Hall?"
Prince Xuexing froze on the spot, "Elder Dugu?"
"I forgot to mention that a few minutes ago, Mr. Dugu agreed to join my Spirit Hall. With Mr. Dugu's strength as a Title Douluo, he is more than qualified to become the seventh elder of the Elder Hall."
Prince Xuexing's heart was in turmoil. Not long ago, Dugu Bo publicly rejected the Spirit Hall's offer of recruitment, and now, just a few days later, he has announced that he has joined the Spirit Hall.
He looked at Dugu Bo in disbelief, instinctively thinking that Dugu Bo was being threatened!
"Mr. Dugu..."
Dugu Bo quickly said, "Your Highness, thank you for your kindness. I have decided to join the Spirit Hall. Please be careful with your words and actions."
"In that case, I congratulate the Spirit Hall and Mr. Dugu. I shall take my leave now."
Prince Xuexing clasped his hands in a fist salute, and the moment he turned around, his face turned extremely ugly as he left with great reluctance.
In the blink of an eye.
The group returned to the Spirit Hall.
"Dugu Bo, in seven days, the Spirit Hall will hold an elder ceremony for you and announce it to the world."
Qianxunji said calmly.
Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Holiness, this..."
"Dugu Bo, congratulations!" Yue Guan said, "Once the ceremony is held, you will officially join the Spirit Hall!"
The ghost said, "Dugu Bo, don't refuse. This is a ceremony that every elder of the Spirit Hall must undergo. In the future, when you travel the world, the Spirit Hall will be your backing!"
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo immediately said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Just then, Bibi Dong rushed out of the main hall and headed towards the dungeon.
What happened?
Qianxun asked in confusion.
The guard beside him immediately reported, "Your Holiness, Yu Xiaogang was beaten half to death by several prisoners in the dungeon. The Holy Maiden rushed there as soon as she received the news."
"I'll go and inform the guards to stop the Holy Maiden immediately," Yue Guan said.
Qian Xunji waved her hand, "No need, let's go take a look together."
Inside the dungeon.
A delicate shout rang out!
"Stop it, all of you!"
Bibi Dong looked at everything before her, her face extremely pale. She saw Yu Xiaogang hanging in mid-air, tears and snot streaming down his face, covered in wounds, looking extremely miserable.
"Hey, isn't this our Holy Maiden? Hahahaha!"
"The Holy Maiden really came! No wonder this kid said he knew the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall!"
"Hahahaha! So what if she's a saintess? Why don't you just kill us?"
The burly men in the same cell laughed heartily, completely unconcerned. They were already wicked people, and after being captured by the Spirit Hall, they were imprisoned in this dark dungeon, where they lived in a daze and had long forgotten the days.
Now they are determined to die!
Even if Qian Xunji came, they would not be afraid at all, and would even provoke him repeatedly, just so they could die quickly!
One of the men, a burly man with a face full of scars, so much so that there wasn't a single good piece of flesh left on his face, punched Yu Xiaogang hard.
"Little girl, does it hurt your heart?"
His face was contorted with rage as he continued to provoke Bibi Dong.
"Ah!! Dong'er, save me!!"
"They're not human!"
Yu Xiaogang's blood, snot, and tears were all mixed together, making it impossible for him to open his eyes. He could only desperately ask for help.
"Open the door!"
Bibi Dong roared at the guards in the dungeon.
The two dungeon guards exchanged a glance and said, "I'm sorry, Holy Maiden, we cannot open the dungeon without His Holiness the Pope's order."
"I am the Holy Maiden! I said open it now!"
Bibi Dong coldly shouted.
The two guards remained unmoved.
Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong immediately stepped forward and personally searched their bodies for the keys.
"Bibi Dong, there's no need to make things difficult for them!"
Qian Xunji's voice came from behind Bibi Dong, followed by Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Dugu Bo, and the others.
"master!"
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and coldly uttered those two words.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"
The two guards immediately responded.
"Get up!"
As Qian Xunji spoke, he walked to the front of the dungeon and looked at the pitiful Yu Xiaogang.
"Master, Yu Xiaogang is a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. If he dies, it will be difficult to explain to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, won't it?"
Bibi Dong said with a cold face.
Qian Xunji scoffed, "The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? Heh! Did you see Yu Yuanzhen make any moves?"
"He's just a useless discarded pawn; why would Yu Yuanzhen take him seriously?"
Bibi Dong gently bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, and remained silent for a long time.
Qian Xunji looked at Yu Xiaogang and suddenly asked, "Yu Xiaogang, do you want to go out?"
"Yes! Your Holiness, I want to!"
Yu Xiaogang immediately replied.
Qian Xun laughed and asked, "Yu Xiaogang, do you still like Bibi Dong?"
"I don't like it! I don't like it at all!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke without hesitation. At this moment, all he wanted was to get out of the dungeon. He couldn't care less about anything else.
The moment Bibi Dong heard Yu Xiaogang's words, her face turned pale!
