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

Chapter 249 Su Yuntao in Action

The Holy Son's Decree is very similar to the Holy Maiden's Decree that Uncle Li had come into contact with more than once. Both are made of the finest materials in the world, second only to the Pope's Decree.

Judging from appearance alone, Uncle Li might not be able to be completely sure, but when Uncle Li reached out and caught the Holy Son's Token falling from the sky, he instantly understood that it was indeed His Highness the Holy Son who had arrived!

As for this person who has been out of the public eye for several years, disappearing without a trace after the newly appointed Pope Bibi Dong announced his existence, many people doubt whether he is a real prince. Uncle Li naturally doesn't know either.

However, since the other party possessed a genuine Holy Son's Decree, Uncle Li had no right to doubt it and could only choose to obey the order.

After all, even though he was a confidant of the Pope, he was still a member of the Spirit Hall. The Pope's decree took precedence over the Holy Son's decree. Unless the Pope specifically ordered him to stop, he could not disobey the Holy Son's decree.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

Uncle Li, facing the deserted alley, spoke.

He didn't ask why "His Highness the Holy Son" was in such a small place as Nottingham, because he knew very well that it wasn't his place to ask.

Wang Zhao did not reply directly, but instead tossed out a pill.

Uncle Li immediately reached out and caught it. He looked at the pill with some doubt and subconsciously said, "Is this a Soul Ring Inner Core? Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I'm afraid I have no hope of breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm in this lifetime."

"Eat it, and there will be hope."

Wang Zhao spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Hmm? But the Soul Ring Inner Core isn't..."

Uncle Li was still a little confused.

"This is not a spirit ring core, but a precious pill that can modify a spirit master's aptitude. However, it is currently only an experimental product. Would you be willing to try it?"

Where Uncle Li couldn't see, Wang Zhao smiled slightly.

"Hmm... I'm willing to give it a try."

Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse.

"Let's try it slowly when we get back."

Wang Zhao's smile widened, and he said...

Uncle Li then nodded and accepted the pills.

Another favor, or perhaps the end of karma... Upon seeing this, Wang Zhao looked up at the sky with a deep gaze, thinking to himself.

The cause and effect of what happened between him and Uncle Li was not told to him by Bibi Dong, but he later found out the whole story by finding out from the capable Sister Die in private.

It can be said that Uncle Li was truly his great benefactor, even though Uncle Li's mention of him in his letter to Bibi Dong was unintentional.

That one letter led to Wang Zhao becoming the current Lord of the Dragon King Palace. Without that letter, it's uncertain whether Wang Zhao would still be in the Spirit Hall in the future.

As for the so-called "experimental sample" of this pill, this was naturally to give Uncle Li a reasonable reason to give him the top-grade martial soul transformation pill. Otherwise, given Wang Zhao's current situation, it might not be a good thing for Uncle Li to know too much.

Wang Zhao remained silent for a moment, and Uncle Li waited with him for a while before Wang Zhao suddenly asked, "Is there a steward named Su Yuntao in the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall?"

"……yes."

Although Uncle Li didn't know why His Highness the Holy Son would pay attention to Su Yuntao, who was just a nobody from the perspective of the mainland stage, he still answered truthfully.

"How is he?"

"His talent is quite good. His martial soul is Lone Wolf. He is now in his twenties and is already a level 26 power attack type Great Soul Master."

"Um……"

Wang Zhao nodded slightly, and Uncle Li quickly caught another pill that fell from the sky.

"Let him have this too."

"Understood."

Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded slowly.

Wang Zhao fell silent again, looking at the sky. The image of "Xiao Wu emerging from the stars" flashed through his mind, and he suddenly understood why Gu Yuena had sent him to Notting City at this time.

Yes, how could she possibly know about her past? She must have calculated the timeline and considered that matter.

Wang Zhao then asked, "Judging by the time, haven't the Martial Soul Branch Halls across the continent been sending deacons to awaken Martial Souls for civilians free of charge recently?"

"That's right. The person our Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall has been sending out in recent years to awaken the Martial Souls for the residents of the city and surrounding villages is none other than Steward Su Yuntao, whom His Highness just mentioned."

"However, if Your Highness wishes to see him, you may have to wait until evening, as I just escorted him out of the city to the surrounding villages to awaken the martial souls of the ordinary villagers."

"I see."

Wang Zhao slowly stood up and said, "You don't need to worry about Yu Xiaogang. He won't get into any serious trouble."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Li immediately realized that it might be that His Holiness the Pope had spoken to His Highness the Holy Son about Yu Xiaogang, and that His Highness the Holy Son's words were actually representing His Holiness the Pope's intentions. He then nodded in agreement.

"Understood."

Not long after.

Uncle Li walked out of the alley, and Wang Zhao's figure slowly appeared in the alley.

The trick he's using now is naturally the method of distorting light to conceal his figure, which he learned from Qian Renxue a few years ago, and he has already mastered it to perfection.

Combined with the unique method of concealing his aura that he had mastered under Elder Yi's guidance, as long as he did not reveal hostility or killing intent, even a Super Douluo would have a hard time detecting his presence unless they were at close range.

"Holy Soul Village, I remember it being in...

He gazed into the distance, muttering to himself, before his figure quickly disappeared again.

……

Holy Soul Village.

Eight children were gathered in a square. Village elder Jack was standing in front of a large house, organizing the children to line up in an orderly manner. The children were whispering to each other, their excitement overflowing and they couldn't stay quiet at all.

Old Jack was probably familiar with this situation, so he sighed and didn't try to restrain the children too much. Instead, he was quite pleased with their innocence and enthusiasm.

However, when he noticed a little boy standing at the very back of the group of children, ignoring all his companions and none of the other children willing to be his companions or talk to him, with an expression completely out of character for his age, he couldn't help but shake his head.

That little guy is called Tang San. He should be considered a pretty good and filial child, but his personality seems a bit withdrawn.

Old Jack thought to himself.

If he knew that the little guy named Tang San was not just "aloof," but also felt that his peers were ostracizing and looking down on him because he took the initiative not to play with them, and even thought that these six-year-old children were "snobbish," I wonder what he would think.

Just then, a handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in the standard uniform of a member of the Spirit Hall, slowly walked towards them from a distance.

Upon seeing the young man arrive, a strange glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he stood at the back of the children.
