Douluo: The Pope at the beginning, suppressing Haotian

Chapter 52 The Duke of Netherworld's Thoughts

Returning the handkerchief to Xiao Zhu Zhuqing, the Netherworld Duke frowned slightly and asked calmly:
"Where did you get this handkerchief?"

Little Zhu Zhuqing took the handkerchief, folded it neatly and put it in her arms, as if she was afraid that the Duke of the Netherworld would take it away again.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't answer, the Duke of Netherworld frowned even deeper.

He asked again in a deep voice: "Where did you get this handkerchief?"

The Duke of the Netherworld left too deep an impression on Zhu Zhuqing.

Even after hearing Pei An's words, for little Zhu Zhuqing, the fear that the Duke of the Netherworld gave her was still difficult to eliminate.

The tone became more serious, and the expression on little Zhu Zhuqing's face became obviously timid.

She lowered her head slightly and said weakly, "A big brother in white gave it to me."

Big brother in white?
Hearing this, the Duke of Netherworld frowned even more.

This description seems to be somewhat more suitable for that Judgment Douluo.

But he still wasn't sure.

The Nether Duke continued to ask, "Can you describe in detail the characteristics of the big brother in white?"

Little Zhu Zhuqing didn't answer, but pursed her lips slightly, looking a little nervous: "Father, have you seen that brother?"

"It's the one from the Great Fighting Arena."

Little Zhu Zhuqing understood what the Duke of the Netherworld meant, which was that he simply wanted to know the identity of the big brother in white.

She didn't hide it.

Because little Zhu Zhuqing knew that judging from the previous behavior of her father and the royal worshippers, the big brother in white must be a big shot that even her father dared not provoke.

After hearing what little Zhu Zhuqing said, the Duke of Netherworld finally verified his guess.

Sure enough, the owner of this handkerchief was the Judgment Douluo.

But how could that person’s thing be better than the one in Zhu Zhuqing’s hand?

The Nether Duke's tone softened at this point: "Zhu Qing, can you tell me what happened?"

"Why did the big brother in white give you a handkerchief?"

Although little Zhu Zhuqing is young, he is not stupid.

She knew that it would be better not to tell her father what Pei An had said to her before.

Little Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and briefly explained many things: "Nothing, the handkerchief was given by big brother to wipe my tears..."

The meticulous Duke of the Netherworld noticed something was wrong at first glance.

He had just touched the handkerchief, and there was no trace of wiping tears on it.

Perhaps Pei An did give the handkerchief to Zhu Zhuqing to wipe her tears, but Zhu Zhuqing definitely didn't use it.

So why wouldn't she use it?

The Duke of the Underworld was sure that something must have happened.

He continued to ask about the details, such as what Pei An and Zhu Zhuqing said.

Little Zhu Zhuqing made many choices and finally just turned Pei An's words into ordinary words of comfort.

But the Duke of the Underworld did not continue to doubt.

He was very confident. He was confident that Zhu Zhuqing would not dare to lie to him.

Maybe it goes something like this:

When the Judgment Douluo saw Zhu Zhuqing crying after being abandoned by him, he stepped forward to comfort her and gave her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

As for why Zhu Zhuqing didn't use the handkerchief, it was probably because of the childish mentality of the child that she gave the handkerchief other meanings.

Children are creatures that like to give inexplicable meanings to meaningless things.

but……

The Nether Duke seemed to have thought of something, and an idea gradually germinated in his heart. He slowed down his tone a bit: "Zhu Qing, do you want to know the identity of that big brother in white?"

When little Zhu Zhuqing heard this, she was stunned.

After a moment, she nodded slightly.

She wanted to know the identity of the big brother in white, not for anything else, but just so that if she survived, she could find this big brother again one day.

Even though he might not remember her at that time, she could still say thank you again.

Thank him for bringing me out of despair and confusion and giving me the idea to move on.

The corners of the Netherworld Duke's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had achieved something. He slowly said, "Zhu Qing, that white-robed brother from the Great Soul Fighting Arena is actually the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, the Judgment Douluo."

After saying this, the Netherworld Duke did not forget to sigh: "This Pope is definitely a top figure in the soul master world."

"Not to mention me, even His Majesty has to show some courtesy."

The Duke of the Netherworld was actually conveying a message to Zhu Zhuqing in his words and deeds.

Pei An has an extraordinary status, and even the Zhu family and the Xingluo royal family can't do anything to him.

He did this for only one purpose.

Zhu Zhuqing, who is bound to Dai Mubai, has no future at the moment and is a worthless person destined to fail.

But why can't he try to turn this worthless person who is doomed to fail into a valuable person?

Over the years, all the major forces have already investigated everything that the Pope could investigate.

It is said that the Pope is particularly patient with children.

Ning Rongrong, who was sent as a student by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as a bargaining chip, was treated almost as their own daughter.

Dugu Bo, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo who has always been by his side, seems to have a very close relationship with him.

Previously, the Duke of the Netherworld had always been skeptical about this rumor.

After hearing what little Zhu Zhuqing had just said and the white handkerchief, the Duke of Netherworld realized that this ruthless Pope might really be like that.

And he didn't believe that the Pope would comfort a strange child for no reason.

In his opinion, there are only two possibilities:

Either the Pope knew Zhu Zhuqing's identity and had some ideas about the Zhu family behind him, so he approached him.

Or maybe Zhu Zhuqing caught his eye, so he spoke out to comfort her.

But no matter which one it is, the Duke of the Underworld feels there is room for maneuver.

He is not a man who keeps to himself, and the Duke of the Underworld has great desires hidden in his heart.

The most powerful minister in Xingluo, this title seems glorious, but in fact he is just a chess piece that can be easily controlled by the Emperor of Xingluo.

Today's Song Gongsheng might end up like the Duke of the Netherworld one day.

Netherworld White Tiger...

Who said that the Nether Spirit Cat must be a vassal?

The throne belongs to the Dai family, so can't his Zhu family have a try?

The Duke of the Underworld actually always had a crazy idea in his heart, but he never put it into practice.

After all, the Star Luo Emperor's control over the Star Luo Empire is still too absolute.

What he discovered today about Zhu Zhuqing made the flame of desire burn brightly again.

By leveraging the power of the Spirit Hall, it might be possible to overthrow the Dai family's rule in the Star Luo Empire.

And Zhu Zhuqing is the bridge he wants to use to connect with the Pope.

After all, she was just a daughter whom he already considered worthless, so there would be no loss even if he failed.

The reason why the Netherworld Duke emphasized that Pei An's identity was so powerful that even he and the Star Luo Emperor could not do anything about it was to tell Zhu Zhuqing:
You still have ways to escape from being a loser.

Pei An, the Judgment Douluo, can ignore the rules of the Xingluo Royal Family and the Zhu Family!
Get close to him, gain his favor, and you can change that bleak future!
