The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 214 The Meeting Between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong

Perhaps because the Pope was also in the group, the journey to Wuhun City was very peaceful. They did not encounter any ambushes, nor did they encounter any soul beasts or bandits.

Despite the time and the long journey, everyone was still shocked by the scene before them when they first saw Wuhun City.

Although Wuhun City is only one-tenth the size of Tiandou City, it far surpasses any other city on the continent in terms of cultivation.

The towering city wall, reaching a height of eighty meters, is constructed entirely of thirty-meter-thick granite. Its hexagonal design surrounding the hill also demonstrates its sturdiness. Just by looking at it, one can tell that this city is difficult to destroy by external forces.

Li Xun rode in a carriage with the main force, passing through the bustling streets and looking towards the towering hills within Wuhun City.

The two most prominent buildings there are the Hall of Spirits' honor and power center.

Perhaps because of the Soul Master Competition, patrol teams in uniform passed by on the streets of Wuhun City from time to time, and soon the Tiandou team was intercepted.

As they parted ways with the papal procession, Li Xun watched as Yu Xiaogang followed Bibi Dong's carriage into the papal palace, his eyes flickering.

Dugu Bo couldn't resist his gossipy nature and started chatting with Sword Douluo.

The leader of the participating team was a cardinal from the Spirit Hall. Under his guidance, Li Xun and the others were led to stay at a hotel in the west of Spirit City.

Whether intentional or not, the Star Luo Empire's participating team was placed in the east of the city, which was tantamount to dividing the two empires into camps and arousing their xenophobic sentiments.

Perhaps to accommodate the teams who had traveled a long way, the finals gave everyone three days of rest after they had all gathered, allowing them to recover their form.

Li Xun's physique was of no concern. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong entering a meditative state, he quietly closed the door and headed towards the Papal Palace.

Xunyang Tower is a hotel jointly opened by Li Xun and various levels of the Spirit Hall. The initial idea was simply to win over members of the Spirit Hall so that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have some people available after joining the Spirit Hall.

But as time went by and ideas changed, this chain of upscale soul beast restaurants also began to slowly change.

Because of the large number of people involved in the profit-sharing, the restaurant did not bring much profit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It also could not gradually form a market monopoly with its financial advantage like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Seven Treasure Pharmaceuticals opened by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Broken Clan.

Considering that teahouses, taverns, and brothels have always been the easiest places to gather intelligence, Li Xun decided to add this hidden feature to Xunyang Tower.

The manager of Xunyang Tower was a slightly overweight man in his thirties. When he learned of Li Xun's arrival, he hurriedly came out to greet him: "I had heard that the sect leader and young master were coming. I'm so glad to have you here."

"Manager Wu, I think you're in a hurry to return to your sect."

Li Xun followed the shopkeeper, turning left and right, until they arrived at a secret room: "Don't worry, your replacement is right behind the group we came from. They should be able to take you off in the next couple of days."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Young Master, I'm not in a hurry. If things really don't work out, I can stay here for another two years."

"If what you're saying is true, then I'll take it seriously," Li Xun teased.

"No, no, no, young master, I was just being polite." Manager Wu was very anxious and waved his hands repeatedly: "If I don't go back to the sect soon, my wife and children might not even recognize me anymore."

"Manager Wu, please don't be alarmed. I was just joking. How could I not know the pressure and danger of this position?"

Following Manager Wu's suggestion, Li Xun opened the hidden hole in the wall and looked at the main gate of the Spirit Hall: "Manager Wu, you are a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After returning to the sect, you will have two choices: one is to manage the pharmaceutical distribution of a provincial capital in Tiandou, and the other is to take over the pharmaceutical planning of the entire Star Luo Empire."

"Although you may lack natural talent, your teachers and I have witnessed your work performance over the past few years, and we have high hopes for you!"

Upon hearing Li Xun's description of the pie, Manager Wu's eyes welled up with tears: "Thank you for your affirmation, Sect Master and Young Master, but I really miss my wife and children. Could you please let me go home and visit them before I leave?"

"Hey! The teacher and I aren't without empathy. We'll definitely give you your break time. Don't worry," Li Xun comforted her.

"Manager Wu, do you have information on Yu Xiaogang?"

"Yes, yes." Manager Wu thought for a moment, then quickly rummaged through a stack of documents and soon pulled out a document with a simple portrait of a man with a crew cut.

Li Xun took the materials and nodded, noting that the drawings were fairly accurate.

"Have someone keep watch on the main gate of the Spirit Hall. If you see this person come out, send someone to deliver a message to Roxon of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights. Tell him to capture Yu Xiaogang and bring him back to Heaven Dou to be handed over to Qian Renxue."

"If anything unexpected happens along the way, don't try to tough it out. Just go back to Tiandou and report back. After all, the Royal Knights' actions are so obvious that Bibi Dong can't possibly ignore her old flame."

In the luxurious council hall of the Papal Palace, Yu Xiaogang sat upright in a chair, sipping fragrant tea to conceal his turbulent inner world.

Unlike the carefree and erudite master of the past, he is now like a stray dog. Not only did his disciple's defeat lead to Tang Hao's involvement, but even Shrek Academy was auctioned off by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe on trumped-up charges.

Fortunately, Liu Erlong had been missing for a long time, and Flander and the others seized the opportunity to escape, thus avoiding being captured by the Heaven Dou Empire. Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would not know what kind of mood he would be in now.

However, he still has a chance to make a comeback, as long as he can see Bibi Dong.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

On his way to Wuhun City, Yu Xiaogang tried to find Bibi Dong more than once, but he was stopped by the guards each time and not allowed to get on the carriage.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry, but seeing the way the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights were looking at him, Yu Xiaogang held back.

Time passed slowly, and Yu Xiaogang drank cup after cup of tea until he became a little impatient. Just then, a gentle voice came from outside the hall.

"You may all leave. No one is to approach this place without my order."

"Yes"

As the door opened, a figure that existed only in the depths of Yu Xiaogang's memory slowly walked in.

Yu Xiaogang slowly put down his teacup, looking at Bibi Dong who looked just like she did back then. Thinking that after so many years, he was still penniless, just like before, he felt a sense of shame, guilt, and melancholy.

Yu Xiaogang quickly suppressed these thoughts, took a deep breath, and readjusted his mindset.

The door slowly closed.

Bibi Dong stood quietly not far from Yu Xiaogang, and after a long time, she sighed, "It's been many years since we last met."

"Yes! Are you alright?"

Looking at Bibi Dong's aura and goddess-like face, and then thinking about his own current state, Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

"Now that I am the Pope of the Spirit Hall, I am above all others. Even the emperors of the two great empires across the continent have to show me respect. What could possibly be wrong with me?" Bibi Dong said with a faint smile.
