Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 228 Spirit Hall's Sincerity
"Eighteen years old, fifty-three-level Soul King." Xue Qinghe pondered, a barely perceptible surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Ms. Hu is truly gifted. No wonder she is able to become the Saint of this generation of Spirit Hall."

His tone was calm and gentle, making people feel like spring breeze.

But beneath this calm appearance, the hands hidden in the sleeves were almost pierced by the nails.

Hu Liena's cultivation speed obviously exceeded Xue Qinghe's expectations. When he was eighteen years old, his soul power was only around level fifty-three.

Although this was due to the fact that he had not practiced seriously, at least at the age of eighteen, Hu Liena was on par with himself.

Hu Liena reported her age and soul power level, which shocked Prince Xuexing and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Ning Fengzhi also showed a perfect look of surprise at the right time. Only Sword Douluo Chen Xin still had an icy face.

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. My achievements today are inseparable from the great help given to me by my teacher."

Hu Liena restrained her seductive aura, and smiled appropriately yet dignifiedly, and said modestly:
"I heard that your country's third prince showed a very high talent in spiritual master cultivation in his early years. If the crown prince's third brother were still alive, his spiritual power level might be higher than mine."

"Oh, sorry." As if realizing that it was inappropriate to say this, Hu Liena smiled apologetically.

"It's okay, Miss Hu didn't mean it." Xue Qinghe didn't seem to care at all about others mentioning his dead third brother.

He just looked emotional and said:
"Although my third brother has an amazing talent as a soul master, God is jealous of his talent. People who are too outstanding will always encounter many hardships during their growth, and most of them die young."

“No matter how talented one is, if one cannot grow up smoothly, he or she will only be a passing figure in the history books, leaving a fleeting glimpse of him or her, which will be a pity for future generations, that’s all.”

The atmosphere changed subtly at this moment, and the people from the Spirit Hall looked at Xue Qinghe with a hint of hostility.

But Xue Qinghe seemed to be completely unaware of this. He sat in the main seat with a normal expression, looking at Hu Liena sitting opposite him, and said:
"Of course, this kind of thing will definitely not happen to Miss Hu. The Spirit Hall has a transcendent status and a huge size. As a saint of the Spirit Hall, you will definitely not encounter unexpected changes that prevent you from growing up, as long as your teacher is still the Pope."

There was a hidden meaning in these words, but among the people present, only Ning Fengzhi, who knew some of the hidden meaning, understood the hidden meaning. No one else could understand, including Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

Although Bibi Dong knew that if she sent Hu Liena to represent the Spirit Hall to negotiate with the Heaven Dou Empire, she would definitely meet her daughter Qian Renxue, who was pretending to be the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

But what happened in the secret room that year was Bibi Dong's lifelong pain. If necessary, she would not tell anyone.

Naturally, she would not tell Hu Liena that her teacher and her master's master had a daughter.

Hu Liena didn't know about Qian Renxue's existence, so she couldn't imagine that apart from herself, there was anyone else who could shake her teacher Bibi Dong's position as Pope.

Therefore, Hu Liena responded with a smile:

"Then I will accept your good words, Your Highness."

"After talking so much about irrelevant things, it's time to talk about some serious matters."

She put away her smile, straightened her expression, took out a gold-stamped document from her soul guide and placed it on the table. With a slight force, she slid it just in front of Xue Qinghe.

"Although Sarath has defected from the Spirit Hall, he was once the Platinum Bishop of our Spirit Hall and served as the Bishop of the Heaven Dou Empire's Spirit Hall for more than ten years. Therefore, our Spirit Hall needs to bear some responsibility for the crime he committed today."

"But this is the first and last time. From now on, no matter how terrible the disaster Sarath causes, it has nothing to do with our Spirit Hall." "The letter shows the sincerity of our Spirit Hall. If your country is satisfied, please release Bishop Lawrence and his party as soon as possible. If your country is not satisfied, you can discuss it with me. As the Saint of the Spirit Hall, I can fully represent the Spirit Hall on this trip."

Xue Qinghe waited for Hu Liena to finish speaking in a neither humble nor arrogant manner before he picked up the gold-embossed document on the table and opened it to take a closer look.

Just as Hu Liena said, Spirit Hall was sincere this time and offered six kinds of generous compensation:
1: A ten thousand year old soul bone, the age of the soul bone is less than twenty thousand years, and the location of the soul bone is not limited.

2: Choose any ten rare documents from the Spirit Hall collection.

Three: Ten volumes of notes on Titled Douluo’s cultivation experience.

4: Provide the locations of some rare soul beasts marked by the Spirit Hall.

5: When the Tiandou Empire sends troops to conquer the Sea God Empire, the Spirit Hall will once again help with all its might.

6: The Spirit Hall will no longer interfere in any internal affairs of the Tiandou Empire.

To be fair, if Xue Qinghe was not Qian Renxue in disguise, the first five of the six types of compensation in the document would not be comparable to the sixth.

Although Tiandou and Xingluo are the only two empires in Douluo Continent, they are both powerful.

However, the Spirit Hall still relies on its transcendent status to constantly interfere in the internal affairs of the two empires.

Therefore, just this sixth article, that Spirit Hall will no longer interfere in the internal affairs of the empire, is enough to make the Tiandou royal family extremely satisfied.

But Xue Qinghe is Qian Renxue in disguise. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the ruler of the Tiandou Empire in the future. By then, it won’t matter whether the Spirit Hall interferes in the internal affairs of the Tiandou Empire or not, because they are all family anyway.

"Of course, Spirit Hall is sincere, I have no objection." After reading the document, Xue Qinghe handed it to Prince Xuexing who was sitting on his right, and said:
"Uncle, take a look. If there are no problems, then this matter is settled."

Xue Qinghe did not show the document in his hand to Ning Fengzhi, because although Ning Fengzhi was his teacher, he was not a member of the royal family after all.

There are two main reasons why Ning Fengzhi appeared here:

The first is to show the royal family's appreciation for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and maintain the relationship between the two major forces. The second is that at least one Titled Douluo is needed to maintain order in the face of the Spirit Hall envoy group that will definitely be accompanied by a Titled Douluo.

Dugu Bo, who is serving as a royal priest, is in seclusion, so when it comes to selecting a Titled Douluo, the Tiandou royal family only has one choice: the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Xue Xing didn't say anything, but just silently took the document and looked at it.

After a moment, when he saw the sixth compensation in the document, he showed an expression of disbelief. In order to confirm that what was written on the document was true, he looked at Hu Liena and asked:

"As long as this matter is written off, the Spirit Hall will no longer interfere in the internal affairs of our Heaven Dou Empire. Is this true? There is no deception?"

"Of course." Hu Liena answered affirmatively:
"I swear in the name of the Saint of the Spirit Hall that as long as this matter is written off, the Spirit Hall will no longer interfere in the internal affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire and will never commit any fraud."
