993: The goddess helps Mu Yun deal with the temple
"Captain, Huamao Supreme is right. We probably won't be able to stay in the academy peacefully anymore," Wen Xiucheng said with a serious expression, bringing up the topic.
Liangcai Sword nodded, "Let's find a place to hide for a while. Once the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination starts and we successfully register, no one will dare to touch us."
Several teammates began offering suggestions.
They didn't have the slightest complaint about Du Xingchen slapping the Goddess.
Their tone even carried a good deal of satisfaction and pride.
Looking at this World, he was probably the only person who dared to slap the Goddess of the Divine Hall, right?!
"No need to think of things so badly. We aren't in the wrong on this matter, what is there to fear?" Du Xingchen naturally didn't need to hide East and West because of this; there was no necessity for it.
"But that's the Goddess after all. We aren't in the wrong, but what if the Divine Hall acts unreasonably..." Sun Yingying spoke worriedly.
As she spoke, she tugged on Grandpa Huipao's sleeve beside her, "Grandpa Huipao, you'll stand by us then!"
Hearing this, Huipao Supreme could only give a wry smile and nod.
"Speaking of which, the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination is approaching. You young fellows are still short two teammates. Didn't your Dean arrange this for you?" Huipao Supreme's gaze swept over the six people in front of him as he couldn't help but ask.
"Teammates..." Wen Xiucheng and Liangcai Sword heard this and subconsciously turned to look at Du Xingchen.
In the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, a complete team is actually ten people.
Eight are main members, and the remaining two are substitutes.
Even without substitute teammates, they need at least eight people to register for the competition. Currently, they are indeed short on people.
"I will handle the matter of teammates before registration," Du Xingchen didn't say much, only making this promise.
These words, which many would call perfunctory, coming from Du Xingchen's mouth made his teammates believe him.
"It's alright, Captain. At worst, we can just find two people to make up the numbers. With our current foundation and strength, even if we bring two pigs, we can still achieve a respectable rank!" Liangcai Sword indicated that Du Xingchen didn't need to put too much pressure on himself.
"Yeah, it's really hard to find suitable teammates in such a short time. If it really doesn't work, we can lower our requirements a bit," Wen Xiucheng also echoed.
"Alright, just leave this matter to me, you don't need to worry about it."
"It's also getting late, everyone should go back and rest."
"Although some major events happened today, thankfully they didn't cause us any harm."
"The Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination is approaching, you just need to train yourselves more."
Du Xingchen interrupted everyone's discussion and urged them to rest.
In response, Wen Xiucheng and the others looked at the sky, rubbed their sore shoulders, and also yawned, "Alright then, let's talk about anything tomorrow. It is indeed a bit late today."
"My neck feels like someone hit it, it's really sore. It's time to rest too."
Before long, the teammates dispersed one by one.
"Little friend's strength has improved miraculously fast. As I expected back then, I didn't misjudge you," Huipao Supreme stood beside Du Xingchen and couldn't help but praise him after everyone had left.
"Senior is overpraising me. This Junior's strength is still not worth mentioning among the younger generation."
"Haha, you can't be this humble, can you?" Huipao Supreme smiled and shook his head, "Back when you had just stepped into the Four-Star Soul Card Master Realm, you were able to beat two Five-Star Soul Card Masters from my sect so miserably. Although your Realm hasn't increased now, your strength is clearly much more profound."
"A Prodigy like the Goddess, although she is a Six-Star Soul Card Master, even ordinary Saint Masters cannot suppress her strength. You were able to act first in front of her and slap her, is this hidden strength also not worth mentioning?"
As Huipao Supreme commented, he stroked his beard, feeling more and more certain that his initial investment in Du Xingchen was correct.
"You're exaggerating, Senior. This is praising me too much to harm me," Du Xingchen naturally knew that maintaining this posture was the most suitable at this time.
"Hahaha," Huipao Supreme laughed but didn't speak, only saying after examining Du Xingchen, "Little friend, I wonder what you think of Yingying, the precious Princess of my Saint Healing Sect?"
These words clearly carried the meaning of a father-in-law looking at a son-in-law.
Du Xingchen naturally understood this underlying meaning and quickly declined, "Senior, please don't test me. This Junior has no such thoughts at the moment."
"You sly fellow," Huipao Supreme didn't say much, stroked his beard, and changed the subject, "The hundred thousand god temple coins from last time should be almost used up, right?"
As he finished speaking, Huipao Supreme threw a Storage Bags to Du Xingchen, "There are twenty million god temple coins in here. Take it and use it well. In the future, our Saint Healing Sect may have to rely more on little friend."
If the previous hundred thousand god temple coins was just a test, then these god temple coins were a real investment!
Du Xingchen reached out and took it.
Looking at the heavy Storage Bags in his hand, he was also slightly moved.
No wonder the Saint Healing Sect is so wealthy!
Twenty million god temple coins, this money is enough to support the cultivation of a top-tier second-rate force!
"Thank you," Du Xingchen said, then continued, "When this Junior went to the Outer Domain before, I received a piece of information saying that among the Fifth Elder of the Saint Healing Sect, someone was embezzling funds and also colluding with the Demon Hall to plot against the Saint Healing Sect's century-old foundation."
"This Junior doesn't know if this is true or false, but I still advise Senior to be extra careful."
Du Xingchen didn't just accept such a large sum of money with a clear conscience but gave an important piece of information as a return, or rather, an exchange.
"Oh?" Huipao Supreme's breathing paused, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes, "Fifth Elder?"
Muttering to himself, Huipao Supreme looked at Du Xingchen again, "The Saint Healing Sect has indeed been somewhat turbulent recently. Lately, this old man has also been searching for the cause of the internal situation. If little friend's information is true, then this old man has actually gotten off cheap with these twenty million god temple coins."
As Huipao Supreme spoke, he cupped his hands towards Du Xingchen, "Little friend, then this old man won't keep you company any longer."
"Senior, take care," Du Xingchen said politely.
Seeing everyone leave, Du Xingchen then sensed a slight fluctuation in the void beside him.
Mu Qianjun, who had been observing everything here the entire time, revealed himself.
"Your relationship with the Saint Healing Sect is quite deep," Mu Qianjun said meaningfully to Du Xingchen.
"What does that matter? Even if I become the Sect Master of the Saint Healing Sect, won't I still be a person of the Divine Hall?" Du Xingchen turned his head to look at Mu Qianjun.
His calm words and composed demeanor made Mu Qianjun slightly dazed.
For a moment, he felt as if he saw the Hall Master from back then.
"Haha, well said. Since you have already accepted the Divine Disciple Inheritance, there's no need to dwell on past matters," Mu Qianjun expressed his agreement with Du Xingchen's words.
"However, you kid actually dared to slap the Goddess. This is indeed a bit bold. In this world, you are the first and only one who dared to do that," Mu Qianjun said, feeling a slight headache.
"That woman wanted to slap me, could I possibly let her hit me?"
"Of course not, the Goddess brought this upon herself!" Mu Qianjun immediately sided with Du Xingchen.
"Don't worry, I will handle this matter for you. However, the matter of the Goddess exposing you as an undercover agent before will likely be offset by this slap of yours," Mu Qianjun patted Du Xingchen's shoulder, explaining the situation.
"Offset is offset, it's not a loss to slap her," Du Xingchen didn't feel anything about this.
In fact, he also understood that Mu Qianjun guaranteeing his safety clearly meant he had to bear considerable pressure.
After all, slapping the Goddess in broad daylight was tantamount to trampling the Divine Hall's face underfoot. If the Divine Hall didn't punish such a malicious act, where would their prestige be?
Being able to suppress this situation for him was already a result of leaning towards him.
"Senior, can you help me keep an eye on the movements of the Goddess and Moyun recently? I need their specific actions to prevent them from secretly doing anything unfavorable to us," Du Xingchen thought of something and asked Mu Qianjun.
His request was actually not about preventing Moyun from secretly doing anything, but about letting Mu Qianjun see the true faces of those two guys!
If things went as expected, the Goddess's strange actions would definitely appear after she completely revealed everything to Moyun. Mu Qianjun as a witness would be very useful.
"Okay, I can," Mu Qianjun also understood that the Goddess and Du Xingchen were now enemies. While feeling a slight headache, he still cautioned Du Xingchen, "Xingchen, it's fine for you to be a bit reckless, but next time you see the Goddess, you must maintain restraint and calmness. Absolutely do not actively provoke the Goddess, understand?"
"This Junior understands."
"Then that's it. This Lord will now return to the Divine Hall to handle these matters for you," Mu Qianjun didn't stay long. After explaining the general situation, he flew towards the space where the Divine Hall was located.
...
Shield City, Divine Hall Branch.
The Goddess's anger had not yet subsided at this moment, the constant pain on her face reminding her of how greatly she had been humiliated!
"So, you are the Goddess of the Divine Hall," Suddenly, the cold voice of Moyun sounded beside the woman.
This sentence made the Goddess's expression change. She turned to look at Moyun, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you."
"The Divine Hall is the enemy who killed my father and mother! You came to save me as my enemy, are you humiliating me?" Moyun's expression was somewhat ferocious. He was clearly unable to accept the Goddess's identity.
He had no reluctance when he was saved before, but now that he was out of danger, he began to pursue this matter.
"I..." For a moment, the Goddess didn't know what to say.
She naturally knew the hatred between the Divine Hall and Moyun, but she just couldn't help but go see Moyun.
Today, her Teacher had only given her one day off, and she rushed over wanting to meet Moyun.
Who would have thought it would eventually escalate to this point? However, the Goddess felt a slight relief in her heart that her arrival had saved Moyun.
"You shouldn't have come to save me!" Moyun said bitterly, "If you hadn't come, I could have originally explained to my teammates that I had nothing to do with the Divine Hall. Because you came, my teammates now completely see me as being in cahoots with your Divine Hall!"
"Even Ning Bing..."
Thinking of this, thinking of the look Ning Bing gave him at that time, Moyun was close to breaking down.
"If my identity as the Goddess of the Divine Hall makes you feel uneasy and angry, then I am willing to give up my identity as the Goddess. I will help you avenge yourself against the Divine Hall, I will help you get revenge!" The Goddess's voice trembled slightly, but her tone was very firm as she said to Moyun.
"Who needs your help?! I can avenge myself!" Moyun's tone rose.
Unbeknownst to the two of them, in the void beside them, Mu Qianjun was now looking intently at the Goddess with an expression of disbelief.
Give up the identity of the Goddess and help an outsider deal with the Divine Hall?!
If Du Xingchen hadn't mentioned it just now and asked him to secretly observe these two, Mu Qianjun wouldn't have dared to imagine that such words would actually come from the mouth of the Goddess, a Child whom the Divine Hall had put all its effort into cultivating!
