When entering the center of the city, riding Soul Pets is not allowed unless one has a very special identity. Therefore, after leaving the restaurant, the five of them headed straight for the Soul Hall.
Along the way, Qin Meng’er’s senior brother obviously didn’t regard Chu Mu and his companions as experts, constantly elevating himself and praising the strength of the masters from their Luoyu Gate.
“This guy called Du Chang is a moron. In my opinion, his strength probably isn’t anything special. I might even be able to take him down!” Chu Ning communicated with Chu Mu and Chu Xing through Soul Sense.
Chu Mu and Chu Xing both strongly agreed. It was obvious that Qin Meng’er’s senior brother always looked down on others with a proud attitude. In fact, the guy completely exposed himself as someone without any tact, and his words made the Chu brothers secretly amused.
“Meng’er younger sister, are all the people of Luoyu Gate so interesting…” Chu Ning said gently using Soul Sense.
“N-not everyone is like that. It’s just that my senior brother is a bit snobbish and likes to brag. The rest of us are already used to his behavior. Actually, there are many nice people in our Luoyu Gate. My other senior brother isn’t like this at all.” Qin Meng’er replied, informing the three Chu brothers.
As they arrived at the Soul Hall with Du Chang talking non-stop and with a very self-centered attitude, he tried to make Chu Mu and his brothers, who came from a small place, feel awed by him. Unfortunately, the three Chu brothers were already smirking and feeling that this guy was quite pathetic.
The Soul Hall was located in the south of the plaza, and it didn’t take long for the five of them to arrive.
There were a total of eighty-one hall guards gathered outside the Soul Hall. Dressed in armor and as motionless as silver statues, they stood under the massive pillars that surrounded the plaza.
The enormous silver pillars towered in rows, accompanied by silver roads and stairs. This layout constituted the solemn and respectful atmosphere of the Soul Hall’s main hall.
“The Soul Hall’s imposing air is indeed impressive, even the front hall’s layout incites awe.” Chu Ning exclaimed.
Having seen many Soul Halls in various cities during their journey, Chu Xing and Chu Ning still found the Soul Hall in this World City to be truly magnificent and sacred.
“I have an identity token. You can follow me.” Qin Meng’er’s senior brother Du Chang said, laughing while showing his token to the silver-armored hall guards.
“This is an ally token, only you can enter.” The hall guard’s cold voice came soon after.
Du Chang had not anticipated this situation at all. In their Luoyu Gate, having an ally token allowed them to bring others in, but how come the Soul Hall had such a rule?
At this moment, Du Chang’s face darkened because not only could he not bring the Chu brothers into the Soul Hall, but even Qin Meng’er had to wait outside.
Seeing this embarrassing scene, Chu Ning couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Just think about it – he had just been boasting and talking non-stop, attempting to elevate himself to the heavens, but when he reached the entrance of the Soul Hall, he ended up landing himself in an embarrassing situation…
Seeing Du Chang making a fool of himself, Chu Mu couldn’t help but find it both funny and sad. He hadn’t yet taken action to teach him a lesson, but the guy was foolish enough to teach himself one.
“Follow me in.” Chu Mu took out his identity token and showed it to the hall guard.
Chu Mu knew that Chu Xing and Chu Ning staying outside in any random place was not very safe, so this time, he mainly planned to arrange accommodations for them within the Soul Hall. As for teaching Du Chang a lesson, it was just incidental.
“Alright, you may enter.” The hall guard quickly allowed them to pass.
Everyone’s eyes quickly fell on Chu Mu, and Du Chang, who was visibly annoyed, was the first to ask, “Are you a member of the Soul Hall?”
Chu Mu nodded, not saying much, and led the four of them towards the Soul Hall.
“What rank is your title? I remember that a rank four title can enter the restaurant, so you should be a rank four hall servant, right?” Du Chang continued to ask.
Chu Mu felt that it was really pitiful for Qin Meng’er to have such a senior brother. Faced with these condescending questions, Chu Mu didn’t even bother answering, continuing to walk towards the main hall.
Chu Mu’s dismissive attitude immediately made Du Chang uncomfortable, and he scoffed, “I just picked the wrong token.”
“Are there any second-tier experts in Luoyu Gate?” Chu Mu asked.
Chu Mu was skeptical whether Du Chang could squeeze into the third-tier or not. He felt that it would be a waste of time to talk to someone like him, who could be easily dealt with by Chu Xing or Chu Ning.
“There are many. My eldest senior brother, Jiang Zhi, is a second-tier expert. He’s one of the strong ones with hope for glory…” Du Chang said.
“Do you know Shen Yi Cheng? My eldest senior brother Jiang Zhi has a great relationship with the famous Shen Yi Cheng. They’re so close that they’ve become sworn brothers. You could guess what kind of figure my eldest senior brother Jiang Zhi is just by thinking about who Shen Yi Cheng is.” Du Chang continued.
“Oh, Shen Yicheng.” Chu Mu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this Shen Yicheng’s network was indeed quite extensive, even involving Luoyu Gate handlers.
“Surprised, right? To tell you the truth, a few days ago, I saw Shen Yicheng send someone to look for my elder brother, as if to ask for his help with something,” Du Chang continued.
“Help with what?” Chu Mu perk up with interest immediately. Lord Yu had said before that Shen Yicheng was planning something recently and would take action soon. If Shen Yicheng deliberately asked the second-tier expert of Luoyu Gate for help, it might be related to the matter Lord Yu mentioned.
“That… I can’t say that. What these real strong ones are up to, they wouldn’t tell you easily,” Du Chang said for once, showing a trace of intelligence.
“Shen Yicheng is a young expert I admire, and I also want to join his circle. Since you know about them, tell me their situation. You want to find that senior? I’ll help you find him. Just rest in the hall, I’m more familiar with the Soul Hall.” Chu Mu quickly changed his attitude and feigned eagerness.
Seeing Chu Mu’s sudden change of attitude, Du Chang seemed to think that after bringing up his brother’s connection with Shen Yicheng, this ignorant kid had finally realized his position and status. A smug smile appeared on his face, “Well… In fact, experts of their level won’t easily reveal their affairs to others. However, my brother Jiang Zhi and I are very close. After he discussed with Shen Yicheng’s people, he complained, ‘I hate dealing with Soul Covenant people the most’.”
“Soul Covenant?” Chu Mu stroked his chin, so this matter was also related to the Soul Covenant.
If so many forces were involved, the matter mentioned by Lord Yu would be extraordinary. Chu Mu also started to guess who could be so important that Shen Yicheng would make such extensive efforts.
“I knew you’d be amazed. So don’t think you’re so great just because you are a member of the Soul Hall. Sometimes my brother Jiang Zhi doesn’t even take the people of the Soul Covenant seriously, especially that Feng Kun. I think this time, brother Jiang Zhi must have known he would have to deal with Feng Kun, so he complained a bit. You know Feng Kun, right?” Du Chang asked in that same tone.
Chu Mu shook his head. He really didn’t know who Feng Kun was.
“How can you not even know him? Feng Kun is a second-tier expert in the Soul Covenant and a highly reputable person in World City. In my opinion, his strength is not far from my brother’s. It’s just that my brother rarely walks around in World City,” Du Chang said.
Chu Mu nodded. He didn’t expect that he would actually learn about Shen Yicheng’s intentions by teaching this guy a lesson. It truly was an interesting turn of events. That being said, luckily Qin Meng’er’s brother was so foolish; otherwise, it would have been difficult to draw out the information.
“Young Master, Young Master, you’re back.” Jia Jing, who was waiting outside the Soul Hall, came running up when she saw Chu Mu, looking very excited.
“Yeah, what’s the matter?” Chu Mu asked. Jia Jing’s presence here meant that someone was looking for him.
“The assistant arranged for you by Lord Yu is already waiting for you,” Jia Jing said.
“Lord Yu, you mean the Palace Master of the Seven Great Halls, Lord Yu?” Du Chang’s eyes widened a bit, interrupting.
Chu Mu ignored Du Chang’s nonsense, and his eyes fell on Chu Xing and Chu Ning, “Big Brother, Third Brother, I have some matters to deal with. We’ll have a long chat next time.”
“No problem, go ahead if you have something to do, we are going to stroll around the Soul Hall casually… Can we do that?” Chu Ning was entering the Soul Hall for the first time, let alone the Soul Hall of World City, and had long wanted to explore the place.
Chu Xing said nothing, but from his eyes, one could see the curiosity and longing for the Soul Hall. For many Soul Pet Masters, being able to enter the Soul Hall is an ultimate honor. Chu Xing and Chu Ning had never been in a real major power, and this time they finally had the opportunity to step in, unavoidably feeling a bit excited.
“Yes, Jia Jing, you can take my two brothers for a tour around the Soul Hall and arrange a courtyard for them to rest in,” Chu Mu said.
“Okay, please follow me, young masters,” Jia Jing said politely.
“Wait, didn’t you say you’d help me find that senior of mine?” Du Chang interrupted again at an inopportune time.
Chu Mu didn’t even have the heart to teach this guy a lesson anymore, so he said to Jia Jing, “They are from the Luoyu Gate, here to visit a certain senior, just take them along as well.”
After that, Chu Mu didn’t linger, thinking it necessary to discuss the things just mentioned by Du Chang with Lord Yu, and perhaps find more clues.
“Ah, young master, I almost forgot. Miss Tinglan came looking for you again, and she said you must find her the moment you return. Oh, she’s in the Central Hall Holy Book Pavilion now,” Jia Jing hurriedly told Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded, greeted Chu Xing, Chu Ning, and Qin Meng’er, and then walked towards the Central Hall.
…
“Miss Tinglan, could it be the famous beauty and second-tier peak expert in Soul Hall named Tinglan?” Chu Ning asked with some astonishment at this point.
“Yes.” Jia Jing blinked and replied.
Du Chang was also stunned after hearing this. It took him a while to say, “Isn’t he a fourth-level deacon? How could he be connected to her?”
“Who told you that the young master is a fourth-level deacon? Hmph!” Jia Jing glared at Du Chang and said unhappily. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Novel Time Z (Novel Time Zcom) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
