Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 7 The Invitation from the Spirit Hall

No wonder Bibi Dong felt uncomfortable.

After Su Cheng rose to fame, too many people compared him to Yu Xiaogang, even though their achievements were not comparable at all.

But without a doubt, Yu Xiaogang was forced to become Su Cheng's stepping stone.

The title of theoretical master has become a complete joke.

At that moment, Su Cheng was having tea at Yan Mo's bookstore, taking the opportunity to find out about the sales of the new book, when he heard some discussions coming from outside.

"I heard that Master Su, like Yu Xiaogang, only had an innate soul power of 0.5, yet he was able to make a breakthrough in the theory of soul rings."

"What kind of trash is Yu Xiaogang? How dare he be compared to Master Su Cheng? He keeps saying, 'There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters.' If he's so capable, why doesn't he get a second-best soul ring in a thousand years like Master Su? He's only doing this because he has a good father."

"That's true. The opening line of 'Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?' is so powerful. It wouldn't be surprising if someone like that achieved something."

"Don't the nobles of the two great empires have any objections to saying such things?"

"What good are their opinions? Do they dare to cause trouble for Master Su? Putting aside his current prestige, do they really think Sword Douluo is just for show?"

"Hasn't the master already left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sword Douluo is Sword Douluo. He only has this one adopted son; who knows what he's thinking?"

"But speaking of which, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has really lost its mind..."

"Who can argue with that?"

"..."

Yan Mo smiled as he looked at Su Cheng sitting opposite him. "Master Su, your reputation is now known to everyone."

It is conceivable that as the new generation of Soul Masters grows up and is no longer limited by the previous limit on Soul Ring absorption, Su Cheng will definitely be their guide.

He then said with a wry smile, "Sigh, I really don't know what the sect leader and the others are thinking. Are you really not going back?"

Yu Xiaogang wasn't the only one ridiculed for Su Cheng's rise; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the real villain.

He was seen by the world as a clown who couldn't distinguish between talent and brilliance, and many people even shouted slogans saying that he was unworthy of the name of the three masters.

Although these remarks had limited actual impact on the sect, they still gave Ning Fengzhi a headache.

As a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Yan Mo naturally did not want public opinion to continue to escalate in this way.

"I'm not going back. The person I'm waiting for has arrived." Su Cheng glanced out the window, then stood up. "By the way, find a way to promote this and change my title. Don't keep calling me 'Master, Master,' it sounds unlucky."

After saying that, he left the room, leaving Yan Mo looking completely bewildered.

Su Cheng did indeed see the people from the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, the visitor was of extremely high status.

She was dressed in spotless white, with skin as delicate as a baby's and an alluring appearance. If it weren't for her clearly visible Adam's apple, she would probably be mistaken for a stunning beauty.

Adding to the fact that there were black-clad figures not far away with an extremely low profile, yet upon closer inspection they seemed unfathomable, Su Cheng guessed that these two were probably the famous Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

Judging by the time, the people from the Spirit Hall should be arriving soon.

Of course, with his eyesight, he couldn't tell the other party's cultivation level. He was only able to discover it because the man in white had deliberately revealed himself to him.

He was somewhat surprised, not expecting that these two would come in person.

"Master Su." Seeing Su Cheng walk out of the bookstore, the man in white took the initiative to step forward, while the man in black continued to stay at a distance, maintaining a "keep away" attitude.

"I'm not some kind of master." Su Cheng looked the white-robed figure over and said calmly, "I didn't expect that the famous Chrysanthemum Douluo would actually know me, a mere level 25 Great Soul Master."

"Master Su is joking. I have read your book several times. I also have some knowledge of herbal medicine, but after reading it, I realized that I am just a frog in a well. Apart from my cultivation, I have nothing else to boast about."

"I'm serious, don't call me master, just call me by my name." Su Cheng frowned and emphasized again.

He really didn't want to be called a master; the more he heard it, the more disgusted he felt.

However, Yue Guan's attitude surprised him somewhat; it didn't seem like he was being polite or trying to complete the Pope's task.

"Alright then, Mr. Su, I wonder if you have any time recently? His Holiness the Pope wishes to invite you to Wuhun City for a chat." Seeing that Su Cheng indeed disliked the title of "Grandmaster," Yue Guan changed his address accordingly.

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng glanced at Yue Guan with slight surprise.

He believed that given Bibi Dong's temperament, she would never be so polite. It would be good enough if she didn't forcibly arrest him, let alone ask if he was free.

In fact, Su Cheng's feeling was correct; Yue Guan did indeed admire him.

Bibi Dong originally planned to send just two people to bring him here.

Instead, Yue Guan took the initiative to accept the task.

He was a person who cherished and loved flowers, and he was also very knowledgeable about herbal medicine. But before seeing Su Cheng's theory, he had never imagined that flowers and herbs such as Solitary Bamboo, Blue Ephemeral Flower, and Golden Thread Silver Chrysanthemum, which only had a small amount of medicinal properties, could produce such miraculous effects when combined in special proportions, which the book called a chemical reaction.

"Since you've all come in person, it seems I have no choice but to give you face." Su Cheng smiled. Since the other party was being so polite, he had no reason to refuse.

Anyway, dealing with that crazy woman Bibi Dong, methods like visiting Zhuge Liang three times to get her to stay at his cottage are simply not going to work.

"Sir, you jest."

Yue Guan had a warm expression and a gentle smile.

The ghost remained silent, following quietly to the side.

During the next few days on the road, Yue Guan would come to Su Cheng whenever she had free time to discuss and exchange ideas about the medicinal properties of herbs and the principles of medicine and meridians.

Although it was called an exchange, it was actually mostly Su Cheng who was giving feedback, while Yue Guan tried his best to digest it.

Su Cheng was happy to agree.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are both powerful elders and staunch supporters of Bibi Dong. Maintaining good relations with these two will greatly benefit his future plans.

Although the time was short, Yue Guan felt he benefited greatly, and even gained some new ideas for the development of his martial soul.

Having reached his current level, any further progress would require a complete understanding of his own martial spirit.

Even after arriving at their destination, Yue Guan was still somewhat reluctant to leave.

Inside the council hall of the Pope's Palace in Wuhun City, Su Cheng was arranged by Chrysanthemum Douluo to wait there while they went to report to the Pope.

In the vast council hall, spanning over a thousand square meters, he was the only person present.

Su Cheng sat in his chair, quietly sipping his fragrant tea, waiting while making a final review of the plan.

Today's meeting is undoubtedly extremely important for him.

The reason I chose "veteran actor" as one of my initial talents was for this moment.

There are three main schools of thought in acting: expressionism, experientialism, and method. He will be using expressionism techniques next.

Su Cheng had previously studied Yu Xiaogang's experiences, mindset, personality, and aspirations in detail.

He also etched a new character image in his mind, similar to Yu Xiaogang, but with essential differences.

Now, he wants to immerse himself in this "second self".

To accompany Bibi Dong in a play.
