"Is that the person?"
In the previous battle in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ghost Douluo's presence was not very strong, and Gu Yuena only had a quick glance at him, but it was enough for her to remember his presence.
Gu Yuena was about to take action when she suddenly stopped.
She didn't know why Chrysanthemum Douluo was with that person from the Soul Palace, but she couldn't reveal her true strength in front of the people from the Soul Palace.
"Hmph, a few thieves dare to have bad intentions towards my apprentice."
There was no need for Gu Yuena to do it herself, Yue Guan had already dealt with those malicious soul masters.
Chrysanthemum Douluo obviously had never killed anyone or looted corpses, and he had not looted the soul coins from these soul masters at all.
Gu Yuena felt heartbroken.
Although she has only recently entered human society, she has already deeply realized the importance of money and is showing a tendency to become a miser.
Suddenly, she found that the ghost's gaze was always on her.
Gu Yuena's heart skipped a beat. Although she was very confident that her true identity would not be discovered and the ghosts had never seen her, she still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
The ghost's scrutiny was just to see what was so special about her that made her old friend want to take her in as his apprentice.
"Disciple, follow me."
After casually dealing with a few soul masters, Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke gently to Gu Yuena.
"I'm not your apprentice." Gu Yuena replied in a low voice.
She had a vague suspicion in her heart whether Chrysanthemum Douluo was going to the Soul Palace.
Soon, her guess was confirmed.
"Hehe, don't you want to become a disciple of the Soul Palace? As your master, I am about to join the Soul Palace. All you have to do is accept me as your master, and you will naturally become a disciple of the Soul Palace. Why, do you want to consider it?"
Although her guess was confirmed, Gu Yuena felt very complicated.
Of course she wanted to enter the Soul Palace, but she couldn't guarantee that she could join the Soul Palace through normal channels. She was not 100% sure that she could pass the assessment set for humans.
However, she simply couldn't get over the thought of the Silver Dragon King, who had lived for who knows how many years, becoming a disciple of a human being.
"Disciple, think about it quickly. I'm going to the Soul Palace soon. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was confident of victory. He had already seen Gu Yuena's hesitation and believed that as long as he tried harder, he would be able to accept her as his disciple.
Gu Yuena was indeed shaken as he expected.
Well, I am doing this for the future of the soul beast clan, so I will just become your disciple. I can just endure it at worst.
"Master... ahem~"
Gu Yuena managed to utter the word "Master", but she couldn't say the rest of the word.
Seeing her face flushed red, Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled with great relief.
"Don't be so quick to call me Master. It's good enough if you have the intention. With time, you'll understand that I'm a very easygoing teacher. If you like, you can even call me old man."
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt that today was a double blessing. He had found an old friend and accepted a new disciple. There was no time he could be happier than today.
If he knew Gu Yuena's true identity and knew that he had accepted the Silver Dragon King as his disciple, the surprise would probably be even greater.
"It's getting late, disciple. Please follow me to the Soul Palace."
Chrysanthemum Douluo wrapped his soul power around Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena subconsciously wanted to resist, but she suppressed the impulse and let Chrysanthemum Douluo carry her with his soul power.
When Ghost Douluo and Yueguan returned to the Soul Palace, Qian Renxue, who had cultivated a relationship with the Holy Flame Lion for a long time, happened to be leaving the Soul Palace.
It was the first time she had stayed in the Soul Palace for such a long time. She also felt that cultivation in the Soul Palace was much faster than in the outside world. Various discoveries made her feel that the gap between the Soul Palace and the Spirit Palace was really too big.
"Your Highness, are you leaving?"
Qian Renxue was walking with complicated thoughts in her mind when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo coming together with Ghost Douluo, Qian Renxue's eyes wavered slightly.
Another one, no matter whether Chrysanthemum Douluo was a member of the Soul Palace before, he must have joined the Soul Palace now.
She couldn't help but observe a second of silence for the Pope with whom she had a very bad relationship. His subordinates defected one after another. You are really a failure as a Pope.
"Yes, Ghostly Lord, are you back to look for your friends?"
"Indeed, I would like to thank you for telling me, Your Highness. Otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to reunite with my old friend."
Qian Renxue and Ghost Douluo, the former half-king and half-subject, chatted for a few awkward moments.
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't say a word from beginning to end. Qian Renxue's appearance here undoubtedly proved that she was indeed a member of the Soul Palace. Chrysanthemum Douluo felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to address her.
Calling him Young Master? That's not appropriate.
Calling him by his name is not a good idea either.
Let's just let it go. Since we have decided to join the Soul Palace, what else can we do?
"It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore."
Qian Renxue took the initiative to say goodbye. Looking at her receding back, Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed.
My former boss's daughter became a colleague in my new company. It's so confusing.
"Just get used to it. You're welcome to join the Soul Palace family." Ghost Douluo comforted his old friend.
Gu Yuena was a little confused. She didn't know much about the relationship between human forces and found it baffling.
She was now filled with nervousness as she would soon meet the strange and powerful Xiao Mu. Gu Yuena could not help but muster all her energy.
She and Xiao Mu had only clashed and communicated with each other using their mental and soul powers, but had never actually met, not to mention that she was still in human form.
But whenever she thought of Xiao Mu's magical methods, Gu Yuena always felt that she was at risk of being exposed.
"Is this where the Soul Palace is? There's nothing here except fog?"
Before being taken to a mist by the ghost, Chrysanthemum Douluo asked doubtfully.
"Hey, here it is."
The ghost opened a passage in the fog.
"This is a formation. Anyone outside the Soul Palace who enters will be unable to leave, even if you are a Titled Douluo."
The ghost's voice was very proud. When he first came to the Soul Palace, he suffered a great loss in this fog-locked maze.
But he is now a member of the Soul Palace, so naturally he thinks that the more powerful the Soul Palace's formation is, the better.
"There's something there."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded slightly.
"The real thing is yet to come."
Ghost Douluo took the lead and brought Chrysanthemum Douluo into the secret realm of the Soul Palace.
The space turned and they arrived at another place. Chrysanthemum Douluo was surprised and confused, and looked around frequently.
There was clearly nothing in front of us just now, how come there are suddenly so many magnificent buildings?
Gu Yuena was also shocked. What a magical time and space technique! Even she didn't notice it in advance.
"Hehehe."
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's surprised look, Ghost Douluo couldn't help laughing.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Gu Yuena cast puzzled glances at the ghost. The laughter was so strange.
The ghost stopped laughing and introduced the two people:
"This laugh is the signature laugh of our Soul Hall. If you want to join the Soul Hall, you must learn from it and don't embarrass the Soul Hall when you go out."
"Jiejiexiao" was passed down by the elders headed by Zhan Kaishan and gradually flourished, and even ghosts began to teach it.
He is also the person among all the people in the Soul Palace who likes "Jiejie Laughter" the most and laughs in the most appropriate way.
