Chapter 18: This Matriarch, a Bit Reckless?

"The two of you, shall we head to the Spirit Hall now?"

Seeing that Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei had accepted the invitation, Native Yueguan spoke immediately with a hint of excitement.

Bibi Dong had assigned them a task: they must, by all means, uncover more intelligence on the two Jirou Yueguan.

Now that they had managed to invite them back to the Spirit Hall, it was hard to say how many times easier it would be to uncover that intelligence.

Especially the remark Jirou Yueguan had just made: that their Twin Martial Souls were bestowed by "His Majesty."

Native Yueguan was well aware of the value of this piece of intelligence.

Jirou Yueguan cast a glance at Native Yueguan.

Both were men of age, and both were men of significant status and position.

Many things did not need to be said; a single look was enough to know what the other party was hiding up their sleeve.

"Since we have agreed to be your guests, any time is fine. You are the hosts; you are responsible for the arrangements!"

Jirou Yueguan said coldly.

Tianwu Guimei did not speak, but the expression in his brows was exactly the same as Jirou Yueguan's.

Upon hearing this, Native Yueguan let out a long sigh of relief. After exchanging a look with Native Guimei, they both clearly saw the expression in each other's eyes.

"In that case, please, the two of you!"

Native Yueguan made an inviting gesture, and together with Native Guimei, acting as the "hosts," they led Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei toward the interior of Wuhun City.

A short while later.

Inside the Inner City of Wuhun City, in the hall specially designated for receiving guests.

Although it was deep in the night and quiet, it had become brightly lit at this moment.

After bringing the two Jirou Yueguan here, Native Yueguan arranged for servants to prepare tea.

"The two of you, please wait here for a moment."

"Since you are our guests, we will go and report the news to the Pope."

"Knowing that the two of you have come to visit, Her Holiness will surely be very pleased to come and meet you!"

The words fell.

Native Yueguan and Guimei left the place one after the other.

Several minutes later, outside Bibi Dong's bedchamber, Native Yueguan and Guimei bowed in the courtyard to pay their respects.

"Your Holiness, we have invited those two to the Spirit Hall as guests. We ask that you please come and meet them."

"They have come to visit? Then I shall indeed have to meet them."

Bibi Dong's voice fell.

A few breaths later, the doors to the bedchamber opened.

Dressed in her Pope attire, she gripped the Pope Scepter in her hand.

With a cold and glamorous aura, Bibi Dong appeared in the courtyard, maintaining her usual high-and-mighty posture.

"Lead the way!"

"Visitors from another world, they must also be looking to gather intelligence on our world!"

"However, now that they have entered the Inner City of Wuhun City, I shall see just how capable they are at gathering intelligence!"

"In front of me, I fear they do not yet possess the qualifications; I am quite interested in digging out all the secrets they carry!"

Bibi Dong said coldly.

As she spoke, a cold and confident light flickered in her eyes.

Ever since she had taken revenge and killed Qian Xunji, she had presided over the Spirit Hall for over ten years.

In her view, handling the two visitors from another world, Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei, really could not be easier.

She could handle the many Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, let alone two Title Douluo from another world.

Seeing Bibi Dong like this, Native Yueguan and Guimei had no reaction; they lowered their heads, not daring to meet Bibi Dong's gaze at all.

They were cowardly to the depths of their souls; every word and action of Bibi Dong was like a divine punishment to them.

If Bibi Dong showed even the slightest bit of anger, they would surely bury their heads into their own chests.

Having received Bibi Dong's order to "lead the way," Native Yueguan and Guimei dared not hesitate and immediately led Bibi Dong toward the guest hall.

Meanwhile, inside the guest hall.

Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei were holding some dossiers that the servants had brought over.

"Old Guan, this Matriarch of this world seems to truly have some ability. Someone who is not of the direct line of the Spirit Hall can actually become the Pope of the Spirit Hall and hold great power."

Tianwu Guimei looked at the information on the dossier and could not help but marvel.

In his view, for Bibi Dong, an outsider, to become the Pope and hold great power was an almost impossible feat, yet she had succeeded.

Her methods were by no means ordinary.

"Indeed, it seems that no matter which world it is, the Matriarch is always a person of great ability."

"In our Empire, although His Majesty is the one with the most ability, it cannot be denied that Matriarch Bibi Dong is also very capable."

"Looking at it now, the Matriarch of this world might make us look at her with new eyes."

"However, since it is not the same world after all, we still need to probe and test her more!"

Jirou Yueguan said.

He had already planned what to do after meeting the Bibi Dong of this world.

Tianwu Guimei nodded slightly and soon realized what Jirou Yueguan wanted to do.

The two had just finalized their thoughts.

At the main entrance of the guest hall, three figures appeared one after another.

Native Yueguan and Guimei walked in front, the typical image of people leading the way.

Behind the two, Bibi Dong walked into this place holding the Pope Scepter, full of majesty.

The moment she saw Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei.

Just like with Tang Hao before, a look of surprise flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.

"No wonder Xiaogang said it was Yueguan and Guimei; these appearances are simply identical!"

"Apart from differences in other aspects, it really is impossible to tell who is who!"

Bibi Dong pondered inwardly.

With just a single glance, she had already understood the general situation of both Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei.

While Bibi Dong was scrutinizing them, Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei were likewise scrutinizing Bibi Dong.

"Old Guan, why does it feel like the Matriarch of this world is a bit reckless? She seems a little not very bright?" Tianwu Guimei contacted Jirou Yueguan through a special channel.

Hearing this, Jirou Yueguan also replied: "Indeed, she looks a bit not very bright, and it seems to be quite a large gap from what we understood in the information just now."

"Don't be anxious for now; let's first see what kind of tricks she intends to play. Her current appearance should be in preparation, so we shall meet all changes with constancy!"

Tianwu Guimei stopped speaking.

They confirmed the policy of meeting all changes with constancy.

The gazes of the two collided with Bibi Dong's.

Bibi Dong did not dodge their gazes in the slightest, scrutinizing the two with a touch of arrogance.

Although she did not say a word, she maintained the majesty of her position as a generation of Pope throughout.

Time seemed to freeze here, and the gazes of the three were vaguely about to spark.

The atmosphere of the entire great hall suddenly became extraordinary!

"Old Gui, why do I feel like something is not right?" Native Yueguan transmitted his voice using soul power.

Native Guimei gave a wry smile: "I also feel something is not right; His Excellency seems to be having a stress reaction."

"Uh... if this situation continues, are you sure there won't be a problem?"

PS: I have something on tonight and got back late. I am taking leave for one chapter today; I will make up for this chapter with three chapters tomorrow. Please understand, I am very sorry.
