In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 248 The Master's Innocence Slandered for the nth Time

"What are you all pointing at me for?"

Facing the gloating gazes of the crowd and the questioning looks of the soldier leader, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but take a half step back.

At this moment, without Luo Sanpao's protection, he was afraid that any one-ring Soul Master could kill him, which made him feel very insecure.

"What do you mean, 'what'?"

Soon someone stepped forward, walked to the soldier leader, pointed at Yu Xiaogang, and said:

"This is the man. He just disrupted the order by using the power of a Soul Master, and now he's causing trouble here again."

"You! How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air..."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but open her mouth.

At this moment, the soldier leader had roughly sensed Yu Xiaogang's soul power level, which should be at the same level as his Great Soul Master. Combined with the explanations of the situation from the people around him, he fell into deep thought.

Yu Xiaogang was quite famous in Nottingham City. He naturally recognized Yu Xiaogang's identity by his appearance, clothing, and the conversations between the people around him and the soldier leader.

As a Soul Master with some knowledge, the soldier leader had already secretly considered backing down after taking into account Yu Xiaogang's rumored powerful background. He didn't want to offend Yu Xiaogang because of some "lowly people".

Suddenly, a calm voice echoed in his mind.

"I hope you can uphold the law impartially."

"Who?!"

The soldiers' leader's face instantly turned to one of surprise and uncertainty. Someone nearby quickly asked him, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

The soldier leader seemed to realize something, but he just shook his head. In his heart, he thought to himself, "Could this be the legendary ability of transmitting sound into a line, a secret transmission that only the strongest can achieve?"

Sure enough, he immediately heard the voice in his mind continue to ring out.

"No need to look anymore. With your strength, you won't find me anyway. I'm just a passing...ordinary Soul Master. I can't stand Yu Xiaogang's actions, so I hope you can uphold justice."

The soldier leader looked somewhat hesitant.

"You don't need to worry too much. Based on Yu Xiaogang's actions alone, you can only give him a minor punishment. As long as you act impartially, no one will make things difficult for you. That's what I said."

"Besides, I was right here, unlike the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan."

Hearing the last sentence, which was still calm, the soldier leader suddenly felt a strange threat. His expression changed, and he quickly realized what was happening. He straightened his expression and walked towards Yu Xiaogang with a serious look.

"Master, you are suspected of violating the law by using force and disturbing public order. Please come with us."

"No!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at his hands, which were being held down by two soldiers, and couldn't help but start to struggle, but his efforts still seemed so futile.

"How could you arrest me based on just their one-sided story...?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier leader looked at Yu Xiaogang with a strange expression.

One-sided account?

With so many people witnessing the incident, how could it be fake?

You call yourself a master? Turns out, you're just a drunkard who only knows how to throw tantrums.

I really don't know where you got your "master" title; you're more like a "great monk"...

The soldier leader shook his head and prepared to take Yu Xiaogang to the city lord's mansion so that the city lord of Notting City could decide on the matter.

Suddenly, the hot-blooded young man standing at the front of the crowd threw something at Yu Xiaogang.

"Here, take your things yourself. Nobody wants a spirit ring core tainted with the stench of your spirit, let alone eats it."

Swish!

Yu Xiaogang watched as the cloth bag containing a hundred-year-old soul ring core was about to fall from mid-air in a parabolic trajectory to land in front of her, and with hope in her eyes, she reached out to catch it.

Because his hands were bound, he could only watch helplessly as the bag fell, finally snapping with a thud...

fall to the ground.

"My inner core!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in anger, and she struggled desperately to pick up the inner core from the ground.

The soldier leader looked at Yu Xiaogang's utterly disheveled appearance with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He then helped Yu Xiaogang pick up her things and put them into his own pocket.

"What are you doing?!"

Yu Xiaogang, in a drunken rage, looked at the soldier leader and demanded a stern question.

"I'll just keep it for you temporarily."

The soldier leader casually waved his hand, ordering two soldiers to take Yu Xiaogang away, and the group quickly left.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang still drunkenly raving and arguing with the soldiers along the way, the patrons and onlookers outside the tavern sighed and began to discuss among themselves.

At this moment, a man dressed in the uniform of a member of the Spirit Hall happened to pass by and witnessed the good show just now. He hesitated as he watched Yu Xiaogang's departing figure.

He was a five-ring Soul King, one of the strongest in the entire Fasno Province, and probably the strongest in the small town of Notting City. The staff of the Notting City Spirit Hall usually called him "Uncle Li". His other unknown identity was that of a trusted confidant of the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.

He had been in the small town of Nottingham for many years. The secret missions he had been carrying out were extremely boring, consisting of nothing more than keeping an eye on Yu Xiaogang's news and reporting to His Holiness the current Pope every month.

It's just that I don't know when it started, but His Holiness the Pope seems to have stopped paying much attention to Yu Xiaogang's affairs. He even sent him a notice about a year ago saying that he no longer needed to send letters to report on Yu Xiaogang's situation every month, and the task was canceled. However, he was not transferred to another place.

Therefore, Uncle Li simply settled down and retired in the small city of Nottingham. He would only occasionally check on Yu Xiaogang's situation, perhaps because it had become a habit over the years, or perhaps because he was afraid that if something really happened to Yu Xiaogang, His Holiness the Pope would blame him.

After all, the original task assigned to him by Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, was not only to report on Yu Xiaogang's situation frequently, but also to protect Yu Xiaogang's safety.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's current condition, Uncle Li hesitated, wondering if he should secretly bail her out later...

Suddenly, Uncle Li's expression brightened, as if he had heard something. He immediately turned around and walked into a deserted alley.

Immediately afterwards, a token fell from the sky and was caught steadily in Uncle Li's hand.

"The Holy Son's Decree! It really is that mysterious Holy Son..."

Uncle Li muttered to himself, looking around but still couldn't see anyone.

Just now, a voice claiming to be the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall had secretly entered Uncle Li's mind, which is why Uncle Li found this deserted alleyway according to the instructions.
