With Bibi Dong becoming the new temple master, this place is no longer suitable as the main temple.
Xu Xin also plans to build a new Shadow Palace and use the original Shadow Palace as a worship hall. In the future, this place will be his private residence, and it will be difficult for others to enter except for those wearing masks.
Just like the Hall of Worship of the Spirit Hall, it is generally not disturbed unless there is a specific reason.
That's what Xu Xin is planning now.
He handed over the development of the Shadow Palace to his wife, deciding to remain the behind-the-scenes boss.
"Ah Yin, from now on you will be involved in the management of Shadow Academy. Bi Ji and Qiu Er will be in charge of soul tools, and you will be in charge of martial souls. Just stay behind the scenes."
"Everything else remains the same."
The three families of Water, Wind, and Fire had no objection to Xu Xin's suggestion; in fact, they were more than happy to have Ah Yin. With her around, their lives would be easier. Although they were the ones doing most of the work, having another person was always a good thing.
They can also spend more time with the kids, pinning their hopes on their children and striving to earn more titles.
Ah Yin was a little happier when she heard the last sentence. She had given up her position to Bibi Dong because she didn't want to get involved in things in the first place. If she were to be given some more responsibilities now, she might have to give Xu Xin a good talking-to that night.
After Bibi Dong explained the future development of the Shadow Palace, the matter was considered closed. Apart from the elders and Di Qiu'er, the others went about their own business.
Xu Xin was very satisfied with Bibi Dong, the new palace master. It has to be said that in this respect, no one present could compare to Bibi Dong.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dong'er."
Xu Xin flicked Bibi Dong's nose, making her blush. She glared at Xu Xin shyly, thinking, "There are so many people here."
Xu Xin smiled faintly, "They're all on our side, it's alright."
"Grand Elder, Palace Master, what is your current strength?"
Dugu Bo, very curious, interrupted their sweet moment. "Doing this in front of an old man like me, how embarrassing..."
"Now, Dong'er and I are both level 99 Limit Douluo."
Xu Xin's words made everyone envious. Level 99! How come it's so easy for him, but so difficult for us?
Ugh, this is really tough.
"Dong'er has overtaken us again!!"
Liu Erlong looked distressed. Back then, the two of them were about the same level. Now, the other person is already a level 99 titled player, while she is still a Soul Douluo.
Twin martial souls, I'm so envious!
Although Liu Erlong was unhappy, she was not jealous. Instead, she took Bibi Dong as her role model. How could she be inferior when her good friend was so amazing?
Her martial spirit is also quite strong.
Of those present, only Ah Yin and Bi Ji were uninterested in these things; they were both gentle and kind, and disliked competing.
Di Qiu'er was full of fighting spirit and also took Bibi Dong as her target. As an imperial auspicious beast, she did not want to lose to anyone, let alone someone who was about the same level as her.
On the contrary, Dugu Bo sighed and then calmly closed his eyes to rest. He was not envious at all; his granddaughter would win it back for him.
Dugu Bo was happy just thinking about his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan, the big sister of the Shadow Academy, and definitely Di Qiu'er's little follower.
Dugu Yan also awakened her martial soul: Azure Scaled Dragon, possessing innate full soul power. She consumed the Xuan Shui Pill and a piece of whale glue.
Dugu Yan was 7 years older than Tang San and 6 years older than Shui Bing'er and the other three.
It's essentially the martial soul that Shui Bing'er and the others awakened at birth.
Everything has changed, but the people who should be there are still there. The general trend remains the same, but the smaller trends have changed countless times.
Xu Xin hadn't paid much attention to any of this and was unaware of it at the time. Dugu Yan, on the other hand, had been wanting to see Xu Xin for a long time, as she hadn't seen him in a long time.
Xu Xin and Bibi Dong came downstairs. Xu Xin took out three masks: the Ika mask, the Leisu mask, and the Manny mask.
"Qiu'er, choose one, as I promised you."
"It's been dragged on for so long, now it's time to give it to you."
Xu Xin smiled and looked at Di Qiu'er. The girl's eyes lit up. She had been looking forward to the mask for so long, and it was finally her turn.
Di Qiu'er's little face lit up with excitement as she pointed to the red Manny mask.
"good."
Xu Xin smiled and handed the Manny mask to Di Qiu'er.
The Manny mask is entirely red, with bulging round eyes, upturned white eyebrows, and neatly arranged sharp teeth, making the whole mask quite comical.
It's probably the most comical mask besides the Ika mask.
Di Qiu'er excitedly took the mask and immediately put it on her face.
"Brother, I understand!"
Di Qiu'er waved her hand at Xu Xin; she knew him, she had seen several of them before.
Seeing her like this, Xu Xin thought, "If she understands, then I don't need to say anything more."
The next second, Di Qiu'er's words shocked him.
"Let's turn the tide! Open!!"
That deep voice uttering such childish words was truly something else.
Xu Xin was speechless. All eyes turned to Liu Erlong. They all knew without a doubt that Liu Erlong had taught them those words.
"It wasn't me! I didn't do it!"
Liu Erlong quickly shook his head, but his words didn't exactly convince anyone...
"Yes, we believe you. You didn't teach us that."
They all said in unison.
Liu Erlong's face flushed red, and he muttered softly, "It really wasn't me..."
It's all Qiu'er's fault for revealing my secret. That's too much!
As Di Qiu'er finished speaking, ghostly soldiers emerged from the ground all around, each a dark figure like a reaper in the darkness...
Its limbs are sharp, and its hands are shaped like sickles, extremely sharp.
The newly introduced Ghost Shadow soldiers are all masters of cutting, even surpassing Dugu Bo's Claw Shadow soldiers; each one is unique.
"These are mantis soldiers, Qiu'er. From now on, you will be the Sixth Elder of the Shadow Palace."
Xu Xin looked at Di Qiu'er and spoke.
Of the nine masks, six have already been given away, leaving three in hand.
Di Qiu'er looked excited and poked the mantis soldiers, quite satisfied. These mantis soldiers were just as strong as her, making them excellent bodyguards.
"Thank you, brother. From now on, I will be the Sixth Elder."
"By the way, brother, why did you tell me not to choose the last seat?"
Di Qiu'er removed her mask, her eyes fixed on Xu Xin, a blush spreading across her cold and stunning face.
"The seat you just sat in corresponds to the mask you just picked up."
"The last position is quite special; to be precise, the ghostly soldiers summoned by that mask are quite special."
"That's why I won't let you sit there."
Xu Xin spoke ambiguously; what exactly was so special about him? Xu Xin didn't say.
In Xu Xin's view, the ghostly soldier in the last Ming Tower seat was the most powerful and the most difficult to deal with.
