Not long after, Magic Bear Douluo arrived outside the Worship Hall with Tang San in tow...
Magic Bear Douluo looked up with a sigh of relief, "Finally got back, I hope my senior brothers won't blame me, otherwise I won't be able to stand it!"
Beside him, Tang San's head was spinning from the high-speed travel, to the point of feeling nauseous...
Forcing himself to endure the discomfort, he forced a smile and said, "Well, Magic Bear Elder, could you give me a little prep time next time on such speedy travel? My whole head is dizzy now!"
Truly worthy of a Titled Douluo, this speed is at least dozens, if not hundreds, of times faster than his own!
He didn't even have time to clearly see the scenery before arriving at the next place; it could be described as torture!
Upon hearing Tang San's barely complaining yet respectful words, Magic Bear Elder snorted disdainfully...
But still spoke with a pretense of seriousness, "Tang San, if you want to become a strong person in the future, this adaptability is necessary. Moreover, one reason I chose to do this is to let you understand the prowess of a Titled Douluo!"
If this wasn't even full speed, otherwise I fear this guy might die along the way, and I'd have to explain!
Tang San suddenly realized, "I see, I never thought that even on the return to the Worship Hall, you were considering me so much, Magic Bear Elder, for which I am grateful!"
Magic Bear Elder waved his hand, "Alright, as long as you know. Now let's head back to the Worship Hall immediately. Remember, be cautious with your words and actions!!"
Tang San's eyes brightened...
Could it be, the visitor is an esteemed guest of the Worship Hall? Even Magic Bear Elder is earnestly warning me!
This naturally made him more curious!
"Yes, Magic Bear Elder, I won't disgrace the Worship Hall!"
Magic Bear Elder nodded, offering rare acknowledgment with a single word, "Good!"
Hope this guy doesn't say anything inappropriate when he meets Xu Sheng!
At that moment, sensing their presence, Gold Crocodile Elder quickly came out...
And immediately reprimanded Magic Bear Elder, "Magic Bear, didn't I tell you to bring Tang San back in a few days? Why did it take five days???"
Magic Bear Elder hurriedly defended himself, "Second brother, you didn't specify exactly how many days afterward. Plus, being in such a secluded place with Tang San, it's normal to forget the time!"
But Gold Crocodile Elder paid no heed, glaring fiercely, "No excuses, later, you must go to find big brother to accept punishment!"
Magic Bear Elder dared not refute, lowered his head and replied, "Yes!"
Alright, accepting punishment myself is better than having big brother come find me!
Only then did Gold Crocodile Elder turn to talk to Tang San, and unlike before, he began to show care and concern...
"Tang San, was the return trip difficult? Any trouble along the way?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San responded truthfully, "Returning to Gold Crocodile Elder, not difficult at all, with Magic Bear Elder there weren't any troubles!"
Strange, why is Gold Crocodile Elder being so amiable today? Is it just my imagination?
Gold Crocodile Elder nodded, "Good to hear no trouble. Now come with me to meet the guest; he must already be impatient!"
Tang San naturally had no reason to refuse, he was rather looking forward to it...
"No problem, but Gold Crocodile Elder, Magic Bear Elder said this guest is someone familiar to me, who might that be?"
Gold Crocodile Elder merely patted his shoulder, "If I tell you now, there'd be no surprise, better you meet him in person!"
As he finished speaking, he outright ignored Magic Bear Elder and led Tang San into the Worship Hall...
After they left, Magic Bear Elder pouted, muttering to himself, "I worked hard even if not the greatest help, didn't second brother realize caring for Tang San is a hassle!"
...
Meanwhile, in the main hall, Qian Dao Liu and Xu Sheng naturally sensed the familiar aura suddenly appear...
Qian Dao Liu spoke first, "Xu Sheng, looks like they're back!"
Xu Sheng showed no significant emotional shift, "Yes, I knew the Grand Elder would keep his promise!"
"Strange, wasn't the relationship between Tang San and Xu Sheng very good? Why doesn't it seem so close?"
This question, Qian Dao Liu naturally wouldn't voice, opting to quietly ponder it...
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Gold Crocodile Elder and Tang San arrived at the main hall together...
"Big brother, Tang San is back."
Qian Dao Liu gestured with his hand, indicating, "Alright, you may leave now."
Gold Crocodile Douluo immediately understood and left without hesitation...
Only then did Tang San clasp his hands in greeting, "Grand Elder!"
And then his gaze instinctively turned to the other side.....
Upon seeing the arriving person, he couldn't help exclaiming, "Brother Sheng!!"
He never expected that the guest of the Worship Hall would be Xu Sheng!
Xu Sheng's eyes flickered briefly, "Tang San, long time no see. I heard you joined the Worship Hall, how have you been here?"
Tang San's soul power rank has greatly increased, apparently not merely through external means!
Could it be, the Worship Hall truly generously took in Tang San and provided ample resources for training?
Given his relationship with Tang Hao, this was hard to believe!
"Yes, Brother Sheng, after being expelled from the imperial palace, Grand Elder not only saved me but brought me to the Worship Hall, letting other elders guide my cultivation!!"
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "I see, your luck is good indeed, you should know not just anyone can join the Worship Hall, especially someone from the Hao Tian Clan!"
Tang San paused, "Brother Sheng, you seem aware of my father's issues with the Martial Soul Hall, don't you?"
"However, I personally feel there might be some misunderstanding; Grand Elder doesn't seem to fit father's description!"
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "Really? You're defending Grand Elder so well, seems he treated you kindly indeed!"
Qian Dao Liu merely listened silently, choosing not to interject...
Because Tang San's behavior was far better than he had anticipated!
If Xu Sheng learned of any mistreatment at the Worship Hall, that wouldn't be good!
Tang San couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes, "Indeed, I hold great respect for the Grand Elder; my current cultivation level wouldn't have advanced so much without his aid!!"
Xu Sheng sighed, knowing surely Qian Dao Liu had imparted some philosophy to him; otherwise, how could Tang San have changed like this!
"Your strength has indeed improved greatly, but let's not talk about that now, I actually came today to talk to you!"
"Do you want to stay at the Worship Hall, or come with me back to the Hao Tian Clan?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San almost instinctively replied, "Brother Sheng, I appreciate the offer, but the Grand Elder and others have treated me so well, plus there are enough resources here for cultivation, so I'd like to stay!"
