Chapter 3836: Chapter 3683

Imperial Palace!
Gazing at the man half-kneeling before her, Xue Qinghe's expression was indifferent as she asked, "How did delivering the message I entrusted to you go?"
After receiving Ning Fengzhi's request, she did not choose to agree immediately but instead sent someone to inquire about Xu Sheng's opinion first!
As for why she didn't communicate this during her time in the imperial palace, one could only say that the timing was too coincidental!
Upon hearing her query, the latter hastily replied, "Your Highness the Holy Daughter, I have conveyed the details to Xu Sheng and the two Grand Worshippers as per your instructions, and we were not discovered by Xue Ye's men in the process!"
I almost didn't make it back myself; those elders at the Worship Hall are truly terrifying!
Xue Qinghe nodded in approval, then asked again, "Good. What was Xu Sheng's reply? Does he want to meet with Ning Fengzhi?"
The man showed a troubled expression and hesitated for a moment before choosing to answer truthfully, "This... I cannot be certain, but based on their conversation, they seem to be preparing to set out for the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
Hearing this answer, Xue Qinghe immediately made a judgment, "If that's the case, then it should be correct. Xu Sheng and the others must be planning to depart for the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect immediately!"
What Xu Sheng says, he seldom changes!
The man was somewhat puzzled and became cautious in his tone, "Your Highness the Holy Daughter, are you so sure? The Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is guarded by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. Even with Jianglong Gongfeng and Qian Jun accompanying them, it's not certain that they can pass unscathed!"
Compared to these two Grand Worshippers, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo have a bigger reputation and greater strength!
Xue Qinghe shook her head, "If it's just like that, there won't be any problems. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo alone are not enough to defeat them!"
My only worry is Ning Fengzhi!
With the addition of his Martial Soul, there will be a substantial difference in strength!
However, since Xu Sheng has decided to go, he must have made preparations in advance!
Worrying more will only affect my judgment!
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and redirected her gaze at the man, "Additionally, don't you think you have said too much?"
The former bowed his head in fear and replied quietly, "Yes, Your Highness the Holy Daughter, I spoke out of turn just now; in the future, I will..."
However, Xue Qinghe interrupted him, "No need. Your staying here would only become a loophole for me. Conceal your identity well and return to the Worship Hall immediately!"
Despite some discontent, out of respect for her status, the man chose to comply!
"I understand. Your Highness the Holy Daughter, I will secretly depart from the imperial palace!"
After a brief nod, the man quickly disappeared from sight...
At this moment, the hidden guardians Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo also appeared, seeming somewhat disgruntled...
"Your Highness the Holy Daughter, you could have entrusted such matters to us. If these fellows expose anything, I fear it could implicate you!"
"Yeah, are we not even comparable to these ants??"
Xue Qinghe glanced at them, "Don't overthink. Inside the imperial palace, only you are worthy of my utmost trust!"
"There is a reason why I sent them!"
After saying so, she was no longer interested in conversing and left them with her departing silhouette...
Porcupine Douluo seemed to realize something and couldn't help muttering, "Hey, Serpent Spear, do you think the Holy Daughter is in a bad mood because of Xu Sheng's departure?"
Serpent Spear Douluo found it somewhat plausible, "Possibly, the Holy Daughter has never shown us such a face ever since she was young, but this time she revealed such an expression!"
"Don't worry, the temperament of the Holy Daughter is not that of a child. In a few days, she'll be back to normal!"
"You're right, the Holy Daughter won't be influenced by such trivial matters for long!"
...
Tang Wulin reminded, "Wu Siduo, we can't be so rash with our words. If we're overheard, it could be troublesome!"
Gu Yue also nodded, "Yes, this place is probably designated by the Tang Sect to receive outsiders; we likely haven't truly reached Tang Sect's headquarters yet."
While they were pondering, the Tang Sect Disciple responsible for the trade asked, "Are you here to conduct a trade?"
Unexpectedly, some children arrived today, but as long as they were here to trade, the Tang Sect had no reason to refuse!
Tang Wulin denied, "No, we are students from Shrek Academy, and we came with the wish to tour the Tang Sect's headquarters. Is that possible?"
The Tang Sect Disciple was taken aback and softly explained, "Non-Tang Sect Disciples can only move within the main hall and its surrounding areas. To enter the interior of the Tang Sect, one must be a Tang Sect Disciple!"
The interior of Tang Sect has always been inaccessible to outsiders, even if the visitors are from Shrek Academy!
Xie Xie frowned, "Teacher Wu didn't mention this to us. I didn't think that even a tour would be impossible."
Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "Alas, we came here excitedly, only to face disappointment."
Ye Xinglan's eyes suddenly lit up, "I remember that Wulin has also joined the Tang Sect. It doesn't affect his status as a student of Shrek Academy. Why don't we all join the Tang Sect too?"
Gu Yue propped her chin, contemplating, "This method... doesn't seem impossible. Having the identity of a Tang Sect Disciple wouldn't be bad for us!"
Perhaps, this was Teacher Wu's intention from the start, wishing for them to all join the Tang Sect!
Hearing their discussion, the Tang Sect Disciple was surprised, "Eh, are you saying you want to join the Tang Sect?"
To join the Tang Sect just to tour its interior was surely an odd occurrence he had not encountered before!
Tang Wulin and the others exchanged glances and, once they reached a consensus, said determinedly, "Indeed, can you tell us how to join the Tang Sect?"
The Tang Sect Disciple explained, "To join the Tang Sect, one must first meet the minimum requirement of Soul Elder in soul power rank, and pass the assessment in soul tools and forging."
Simply put, ninety percent of students who enter Shrek Academy would be able to pass Tang Sect's examinations!
Pausing for a moment, he reminded them, "However... there is no shortage of Soul Masters wishing to join Tang Sect, so a queue is necessary."
Tang Wulin mused silently, "We have to queue up? We don't have that much time!"
With this in mind and holding a glimmer of hope, he took out his Tang Sect Token and asked, "What if there's a recommendation from a Tang Sect Disciple?"
Upon seeing the token in Tang Wulin's hand, the disciple's cheeks showed a look of surprise, not expecting him to be a Tang Sect Disciple...
He then smiled and said, "With a recommendation from a Tang Sect Disciple, the assessment can be arranged with priority. Please follow me!"
Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief and gave his companions a thumbs up...
It seems he guessed right and managed to save a lot of time for everyone!
Afterward, they followed the Tang Sect Disciple to the place of assessment...
