Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 76: An Ordinary Guest Retainer in the Crown Prince's Residence

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were somewhat surprised.

How could this not surprise them?

The difference in strength is equivalent to the difference in class.

Would an emperor eat with a beggar?

The gap between a Title Douluo and a Soul Master is greater than the gap between a human and an ant.

Zhong Li actually invited them to eat together...

The three exchanged a glance, then quickly cupped their hands in thanks to Zhongli and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"No need for such formalities."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhong Li: "..."

Are all the people on Douluo Continent this stubborn?

When asked to call her "Zhongli" or something similar, she insisted on calling him "Master."

They told Hu Liena and the others not to stand on ceremony, but they became even more polite.

After the three of them sat down, they sat up straight, like students who had made a mistake, without looking to the side.

They're just here to broaden their horizons, not to negotiate.

Besides, given their current status, representing the Spirit Hall to negotiate with a Title Douluo is clearly a sign of looking down on the other side, isn't it?

Even though Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's disciple, the same applies.

Unless she becomes the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she will not be qualified to speak directly with a Title Douluo.

"Your Majesty is indeed as kind and approachable as rumored."

"Most importantly, he's even more charismatic and handsome than rumored..."

Hu Liena thought to herself.

Even "non-mainstream" individuals like her brother Xie Yue and Yan seem like children who haven't grown up in front of Zhong Li.

Well, anyone who can become a Title Douluo can't possibly be too young.

Zhong Li looks very young. Her age should be about the same as Chrysanthemum Douluo or her teacher Bibi Dong, right?

Xie Yue and Yan sat upright. Before coming to see Zhong Li, Yue Guan had instructed Yan to speak less.

Given Yan's personality, Yue Guan was afraid that he might say something wrong, causing the mission to fail.

Not only Yan, but also Hu Liena and Xie Yue, Yue Guan also received similar explanations.

After all, they were just juniors, and if the juniors said anything while the seniors were speaking, it would make the atmosphere awkward.

It's better to stay out of the spotlight and just be a passerby.

Aside from the necessary greetings, don't say too much.

"Grandpa, what do you need Zhongli for?"

Suddenly, Paimon seemed to have thought of something and spoke first.

She has the mouth of God... Ugh, ugh, ugh...

She's Paimon, the best director!

The purpose of coming to the restaurant wasn't just to eat; there was something we wanted to talk about.

"Yes, it's a very important matter."

Yue Guan said solemnly, in his opinion, no, in everyone's opinion, this was a very important matter.

As an elder of the Spirit Hall, he naturally knew the importance of twin spirits and could vaguely guess Zhong Li's purpose. Of course, it was also possible that Zhong Li did not know the secret of twin spirits!

Before Pope Bibi Dong, there was another recorded Soul Master with twin martial souls.

After successfully cultivating to a high level, that Soul Master added a Soul Ring to his second Martial Soul.

He was fine at first, but after he added a few spirit rings to his second spirit, he exploded and died!

That one couldn't solve the problem of twin martial souls.

But Bibi Dong succeeded!

Before he set off, Bibi Dong had told him about this via telepathy.

If Zhong Li intends to use his second martial soul to break through to the god level, then Zhong Li must have mastered the secret of twin martial souls.

If Zhongli was afraid of dying from his body exploding, and therefore dared not add a soul ring to his second martial soul.

So, as long as Zhong Li joins the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong is willing to share the secret of twin spirits with him!

"well……"

Paimon blinked. Why didn't this old man just say the problem directly?

Another riddle teller?

"What's so important?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan looked at Paimon, then at Zhongli, before nodding and saying, "I have come here to invite Guest Elder Zhongli to join the Spirit Hall."

Yue Guan spoke frankly.

After saying that, he paused, then continued, "Also, regarding your acquisition of a spirit ring!"

Yue Guan looked confident; he believed Zhong Li would definitely be interested in this!

To his disappointment, Zhongli merely sipped his tea casually without saying a word, as if he didn't care at all.

"???"

Yue Guan was filled with questions and looked at Zhong Li with some confusion.

Could it be that Zhong Li knows how twin martial souls absorb soul rings without exploding and dying?

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were all shocked. Was this something they could listen to?

The three of them quickly adjusted their breathing to be as quiet as possible, in order to make their presence even less noticeable.

"I acquire a spirit ring?"

Paimon scratched his head. What kind of spirit ring was she getting?

She's not a Soul Master...

Wait a minute, although she is not a Soul Master, she has signed a contract with Zhong Li, and in the Douluo Continent, she must claim to be Zhong Li's Martial Soul.

A martial soul can absorb soul rings to grow stronger.

But she's fake, she doesn't have a real martial spirit!

Thinking of this, Paimon chuckled twice.

"hey-hey……"

He then flew to Zhong Li's side and said, "Zhong Li, Grandpa invites you to join the Spirit Hall..."

Although Paimon was not intellectually corrupted, she was not stupid and knew how to change the subject.

She had signed a contract with Zhongli and couldn't break her word, but she didn't know how to respond. Changing the subject was the best solution.

Zhong Li put down his teacup, his face remaining unchanged, still calm and composed.

"Elder Ju, please go back and tell His Holiness the Pope."

"I am just an ordinary guest of the Crown Prince's residence."

"A guest invited by Qian Renxue."

After saying this, Zhongli calmly picked up his teacup and took another sip of tea.

Having the name Qian Renxue can reduce a lot of trouble.

Besides, wasn't it Qian Renxue who invited him to become a guest advisor in the Crown Prince's residence?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with what I'm saying; it just depends on how the other person interprets it.

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan immediately stood up from his chair, looking terrified.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth slightly agape, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Zhong Li actually knows about Qian Renxue!

he……

Coming to her senses, Yue Guan quickly said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

"I will certainly convey Zhongli's message!"

A thousand feet of snow, a thousand feet of snow!

What an ancient name! She's been in Tiandou City for almost ten years now.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why does Chrysanthemum Douluo get so excited just from hearing a name?

No, it should be said that he lost his composure!

Given their status, they would never have even heard of Qian Renxue, let alone seen her!

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Yue Guan "understood," and realized that there was no need for an invitation or anything like that.

He believes that if he simply conveys this message, His Holiness the Pope will understand.

If Zhongli was invited by Xue Qinghe, then he would be a guest of the Crown Prince's Palace, which would be considered part of the Tian Dou faction.

But this is a guest elder invited by Qian Renxue!
