From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 309 The Pope's Shadow Guard
After hearing Yue Guan's words, Leng Xiyao suddenly felt relaxed all over.

She thought she was a person who hated flattery very much, but now she realized that it was not that she disliked flattery, but that those people's level was too low and she was not at all interested in them.

Look at what Yue Guan said, he praised her to the sky, and the tone of voice that sounded like singing in opera, it was simply amazing.

"Elder Ju, how could you become a close confidant of the two popes? You are indeed no ordinary person." Leng Xiyao gave Yue Guan a thumbs up. Even though Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji were in conflict to that extent, Yue Guan's position was still standing. This only showed that his ability to deal with people was truly unparalleled.

"Miss Leng, you are too kind. Our... No, I had no choice. In this Spirit Hall, all the elders have prominent family backgrounds. Guimei and I are small people who have climbed up from the grassroots. If we didn't have the ability to please His Holiness the Pope, we would have been kicked out of the core of power long ago." Hearing that Leng Xiyao not only did not isolate him like the other elders, but also recognized his abilities, Yue Guan couldn't help but complain.

"Well, that's true. However, I think what the Pope values ​​about you is not your flattery, but your loyalty." Leng Xiyao said with a smile.

Yue Guan is someone who can be a close friend. Generally speaking, the ability of a person who has risen from nothing to a high-ranking official is needless to say. As for his character, a person who can remain loyal will definitely not have a bad character.

The contract with the Spirit Hall might just be a temporary stopgap measure, and at most it can be maintained for a few years relying on the fact that Qian Renxue is still young and does not need to inherit. When Qian Renxue really wants to practice the divine way, if Leng Xiyao still holds the gemstone and refuses to give it to her, it would be strange if Qian Daoliu does not fight her to the death.

But during this period of time, communication with some people in the Spirit Hall is indispensable. If you can maintain a good relationship with the top leaders of the Spirit Hall, even if the contract expires, the relationship with the Spirit Hall will not become tense all of a sudden, and perhaps it can continue to be peaceful.

No one can predict what the future will hold, but it’s always worth trying to plan ahead.

Chatting with Yue Guan along the way, the convoy soon arrived in front of the Pope's Palace.

"Okay, Miss Leng, I won't say anything extra. This meeting is of a very high standard. The participants are all representatives of major forces, who are here to witness the signing of this treaty. A small person like me is not qualified to attend." Yue Guan invited the two of them out of the car. As they walked, he looked at Qin Menglan and Tian Meng, "Of course, you can bring your lover to participate with this adult, but..."

As he spoke, Yue Guan looked at Da Huang who was standing beside him, "This person cannot participate. After all, his strength is still a little too low. According to the specifications of the meeting, he cannot take a seat."

Leng Xiyao nodded to show her understanding: "Okay, in that case, Da Huang, you just wait here."

Da Huang's strength is indeed a bit low in comparison. If a Titled Douluo of Yue Guan's level cannot participate, if she insists on letting Da Huang participate, it will undoubtedly embarrass the Spirit Hall.

Dahuang naturally had no objection, so he stood by the roadside like a guard on duty.

Leng Xiyao held Qin Menglan's hand and walked up the stairs step by step. Tian Meng followed behind, watching the layout of the Pope's Palace with interest.

There are 108 steps below the part of the Pope's Palace facing Wuhun City, and above is the square where the finals were held before.

A little further up is the main body of the Pope's Palace, and behind the Pope's Palace there is a huge back garden, which is generally used for internal meetings of the Spirit Hall and serves as the administrative body of the Spirit Hall. Generally, Bibi Dong's staff team works here so that she can ask at any time when there is something she doesn't understand.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the Pope's Palace, Leng Xiyao saw a young lady wearing a black cloak, a white shirt, and a set of tights not far away. She was leaning against a huge angel statue and seemed to be asleep.

As if she heard footsteps, the young lady raised her head, rubbed her eyes, and came forward enthusiastically: "Hello, Miss Leng, His Holiness the Pope has been waiting for a long time."

Looking at the young lady in front of her with white hair and red eyes, who looked only about 20 years old and whose appearance could only be described as cute, Leng Xiyao seemed incredulous: "Hello. May I ask who you are?"

Pretty young ladies are as common as the common people in Douluo Continent. Although white hair and red eyes are relatively rare, there are such peculiar looks. What really shocked Leng Xiyao was the other party's strength - even if Tian Meng didn't say it, she could tell that the other party was a genuine Titled Douluo!

Leng Xiyao had seen quite a few Titled Douluo, at least dozens of them, but the young lady in front of her was probably the youngest one she had ever seen.

If Bibi Dong had the secret to maintaining her youthful looks, and could look as young as thirty when she was fifty or sixty, then the person in front of him looked only twenty years old in terms of vitality and appearance.

What does this mean? Even with Liu Qinghan's talent, he can't guarantee that he can become a Titled Douluo at the age of 20, right?
"Me? I'm the captain of the shadow guard of the Pope's Palace. Normally, I don't show myself in public, but His Holiness specifically asked me to come and greet you to show his sincerity." The white-haired, red-eyed girl said, looking at Leng Xiyao with a hint of smile in her eyes: "Speaking of which, we are also a family. My name is Leng Zhiying, but I'm not the Leng family on Wuhun Mountain. I'm from a small place. Who knows, if we climb up a few hundred generations, we may also be a family."

"I see. Then please lead the way, sister." Leng Xiyao shook hands with her, then followed her to the back garden.

As she walked, Leng Xiyao couldn't help but look at this older sister who had the same surname as her.

The Shadow Guard, as the name suggests, is naturally the Pope's private armed forces. They seem to be non-existent on weekdays, coming and going without a trace. They are responsible for doing some dirty and shameful work, which is completely different from the official power like Lao Ju.

It is roughly equivalent to secret agencies such as KGB and CIA.

Generally speaking, those who can hold this position are all cold-tempered, devoid of humanity, ruthless, and murderous. At the very least, they must be as calm and composed as her subordinate Tao Yaoyao, who possesses the qualities of a killer.

All of the above has nothing to do with Leng Zhiying in front of him. Apart from the fact that her name sounds a bit appropriate, she doesn't look like someone who can be a killer in any way.

If the other party hadn't introduced himself, Leng Xiyao would never have thought about it in this direction.

It’s nothing, it’s just because this person talks too much!
