"Voluntary?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian were dumbfounded.
"You mean that when a seven-year-old child saw strangers from your Wuhun Palace, he wasn't afraid or hesitant but happily followed you? How is that possible?"
When they kidnapped the child, they hadn't been gentle, and he could have escaped in a moment of distraction.
His agility was quite remarkable.
If not for the overwhelming soul power Yu Yuanzhen wielded, he wouldn't guarantee catching Northern Jiangsu at all.
"Happy?"
"That's not true. The charming child is very attached to his godmother, and this child's name is Xiao Wu."
"However, there's no need to worry. Wuhun Palace only invited His Royal Highness Subei as a guest. He can return anytime he wants."
The Platinum Bishop nodded seriously. "You should believe us. Wuhundians never deceive others. If you don't believe me, you can ask that little girl."
He produced an envelope written by His Royal Highness Subei himself as proof.
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu both felt relieved.
Sure enough, brother (Xiaobei) can't bear to leave me!
"Of course, the Pope instructed that if you want to see His Royal Highness Subei, you're welcome to visit Wuhun Hall—especially you, Headmaster Liu."
The Platinum Bishop glanced meaningfully at Liu Erlong.
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian exchanged looks, aware of the provocation behind this.
Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong were former rivals in love.
After Yu Xiaogang left Bibi Dong, he became enamored with Liu Erlong.
From Bibi Dong's perspective, Liu Erlong was the perfect 'green hat' in her life.
Now, these two fated adversaries crossed paths dramatically once again because of one man.
This…
Liu Erlong opened the envelope left by Subei and read the words—crooked and twisted like chicken feet handwriting:
"Godmother, don't worry, I'm safe. Lord Pope won't hurt me. I will definitely come back.
I'm here to study the profound soul master theory of the Spirit Hall, and their abundant soul master training resources are meant to keep the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect at bay. Godmother, you and the Spirit Hall have major conflicts—those two are deadlocked. It doesn't bode well for the development of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Hall of Souls is the most powerful organization in the Heaven Dou Empire and the two empires. It benefits the people, so I hope everyone avoids confronting them for now.
Godmother, don't worry. When I return with the little third son, I will definitely support you and give you a bright future. I will never abandon you or Xiao Wu!
Until then, please take care of Xiao Wu for me.
— Mua Love, your Subei"
If only looking at the content, Liu Erlong was pleased. Xiao Beitai was sensible and thoughtful, so independent and well-organized for his age.
He had already experienced much at such a young age.
So distressing!
But then a green line appeared on Liu Erlong's face.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"This must be forged by you!"
"Xiao Bei must be held hostage by that woman!"
Buzzing—
Liu Erlong burned the letter with her fire soul power. Ashes scattered.
Xiaobei, a young prodigy with outstanding talent and looks, star-descended to earth—could he write such ugly characters?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
Liu Erlong would never believe it!
The Platinum Bishop sighed helplessly, "This is truly written by His Royal Highness Subei. Although we cannot know the full content, you should accept it as his decision."
"For a person like him, his choice must be respected. What do you think, President Liu?"
The Platinum Bishop smiled as Liu Erlong could only suppress her anger.
But who was Liu Erlong?
After such a blow, do you really think she'd quietly accept it?
"Hmph!"
Liu Erlong snorted coldly and stepped hard on the Platinum Bishop's toe.
An intense pain shot from toe to brain through her nerves, making her face flush red.
"It hurts... it hurts!"
Liu Erlong knelt and gently wiped Xiao Wu's face.
Her haze immediately cleared into kindness. "Xiao Wu, did Brother really go to Wuhun Hall of his own accord?"
Xiao Wu pouted, big watery eyes faintly tearful.
"Brother first refused, then suddenly agreed. A beautiful and noble woman gave Brother a letter and took him away. Tang San said Brother is his belief, so he went with him…"
Xiao Wu rushed into Liu Erlong's arms, pouring out her grievances pitifully.
"Mom, it's so hard for Xiao Wu to see Brother lately! Xiao Wu misses him!"
"Without Brother, Xiao Wu can't sleep and suffers insomnia."
Thinking of not seeing that handsome face while sleeping tonight, Xiao Wu's tears wouldn't stop as Subei's protective palm circled around her.
