"Excellent, excellent, excellent!"
Three "excellents" escaped Salas's mouth. He was in a very good mood today.
"Hurry and follow me into the city. We'll hold a banquet for you tonight to welcome you, and your accommodations have already been prepared."
Zhou Sidong's family followed Salas into the city.
Being personally welcomed by the bishop of Heaven Dou Martial Soul Temple, it seemed they had quite the background.
This was the conclusion reached by the various factions in Heaven Dou City.
Nighttime, Heaven Dou Martial Soul Temple.
Salas personally hosted a welcome banquet for Zhou Shijie and his family.
"Shijie, now that you've finally returned, what are your plans?" Salas put down his wine cup and looked at Zhou Shijie, asking.
"Teacher, I've come to Heaven Dou City primarily to ask you for two favors. I hope you'll agree," Zhou Shijie said respectfully.
"Oh?" Salas nodded. "There's no need to be so formal between us, just say what's on your mind."
"Sidong, come here." Zhou Shijie beckoned to Zhou Sidong, who was eating.
"Sidong, show your martial soul."
Zhou Shijie said.
Zhou Sidong nodded, and three soul rings lit up beneath his feet. The Soul Devouring Demon Spider martial soul appeared behind him!
"The Soul Devouring Demon Spider martial soul."
Salas's expression visibly froze upon seeing this. The more he looked at Zhou Sidong, the more he resembled the current Pope, and he also possessed the Soul Devouring Demon Spider spirit.
Although it wasn't the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, there was no such thing as a coincidence in the world.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Salas nodded repeatedly. "At only twelve years old, his soul power is already at rank thirty-one. He's a little genius!"
"Lixia, take Sidong out for a while. I have some matters I'd like to discuss with my teacher."
After watching the mother and son leave, Zhou Shijie spoke, "Teacher, to be honest, Sidong... is not Lixia and my son."
"I see," Salas said with a wry smile, nodding his head. "A child with the Soul Devouring Demon Spider spirit, with rank thirty-one soul power, and I can also see that this child's strength is not bad."
"Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Teacher," Zhou Shijie said. "Teacher, the reason I've come to Heaven Dou City is, firstly, to solve Sidong's enrollment issue. Heaven Dou City is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. I believe he can receive a good education here."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for Sidong to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Salas had already made arrangements.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy?!" Zhou Shijie was shocked.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy was established by the Heaven Dou Empire and was one of the best soul master academies on the continent, boasting a strong teaching staff.
"As the Bishop of the Martial Soul Temple in Heaven Dou, I still have this ability. Tell me anything else you need." Salas could see Zhou Shijie had something on his mind.
"I want to ask you to arrange for someone to help find Sidong's family. I found this child on the way out of the Martial Soul Hall, dug him up from a grave…"
"A child dug up from a grave, interesting… Continue." Salas was clearly intrigued.
And so, Zhou Shijie gave a simple account.
Salas's expression was now quite rich, a child dug from a grave, and there were three burial objects: an Amethyst Hairpin, a Gold Card with a value of ten million, and a Jade Pendant engraved with "思" and "东" on both sides.
Salas felt that this child's background was probably very deep!
"Hmm..."
Salas was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I'll give the order. I'll tell you immediately if anything is found. It's getting late, you should go and rest too; you've had a long journey from Notting City to Heaven Dou City."
"Teacher, you should rest early too. Your disciple is leaving."
He watched Zhou Shijie leave.
Salas sat back down, "This child... is not simple."
As a bishop of the Martial Soul Temple, Salas held a high position and great power. He immediately ordered people to go to the place where Zhou Sidong was originally discovered, hoping to find some clues.
At the same time, in the center of Heaven Dou City, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
A handsome, refined young man with golden hair stood at the highest point of Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, overlooking the entire Heaven Dou City. With a flip of his hand, the tiny city seemed to be held within his grasp.
The young man's features were handsome, and every smile and frown was pleasing to the eye.
"Young Master."
A black figure emerged from the shadows.
"Have you found out the details?"
The young man asked.
"Yes, I have. Bishop Salas personally went out of the city to welcome Zhou Shijie, who left the Martial Soul Hall twelve years ago, along with his wife and children," the shadow replied.
"Zhou Shijie?"
The youth pondered for a moment, "I remember this person. He was once the Martial Soul Temple's most outstanding blacksmith, Salas's disciple. Later, for some reason, he left the Martial Soul Temple. Why is he looking for Salas now?"
"Primarily for his son," the shadow replied.
"Zhou Shijie's son?" The youth was puzzled.
"Yes. Zhou Shijie's son is named Zhou Sidong. It is said that he is not their biological child, but rather a child the couple found twelve years ago, on their way back from the Martial Soul Temple, digging him up from a tomb one night," the shadow continued.
"Dug him up from a tomb?" The youth's interest was piqued, "Interesting. Go on."
"Zhou Sidong's talent is not bad. His awakened martial soul is the Soul Devouring Demon Spider, a rare type of demon spider soul beast, and he has innate soul power of level eight. At only twelve years old, he is already a Soul Elder of level thirty-one."
After the shadow finished speaking, the golden-haired youth narrowed his eyes slightly, "Twelve years old, the Soul Devouring Demon Spider martial soul, innate soul power of level eight, and now at level thirty-one soul power. He's quite the prodigy! What plans does Salas have?"
"Lord Salas plans to have Zhou Sidong enroll in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and has already begun investigating Zhou Sidong's background."
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" The golden-haired youth's eyes lit up, then he waved his hand, and the shadow disappeared into the darkness.
"Very well, I'll go see him tomorrow. Since he's Zhou Shijie's son, and he's come to Heaven Dou City, that means he'll be a person of the Martial Soul Hall in the future. If I can recruit him, then he'll be of great use to my future plans."
After the youth finished speaking, he turned and left.
Martial Soul Temple.
On the first night in Heaven Dou City, Zhou Sidong was clearly unable to sleep.
"Can't sleep?"
Xiao Xue appeared. "Yeah."
Zhou Sidong nodded, clearly distracted. He gazed towards the palace not far away. His sister, born from the same mother, was within Heaven Dou Palace.
Even though he had arrived in Heaven Dou City, seeing the Imperial Crown Prince would be incredibly difficult.
"Eager to see your sister?" Xiao Xue saw through Zhou Sidong's thoughts.
"It's not easy to have a family member nearby, especially my own sister. Of course, I want to see her," Zhou Sidong said.
"I'll help you!" Xiao Xue patted her chest and smiled.
"How will you help me?" Zhou Sidong asked.
"Simple! Dream communication."
"Dream communication?" Under Zhou Sidong's puzzled gaze, Xiao Xue flew directly towards Heaven Dou Palace.
