He split off a strand of his mind onto the Needle-tailed Swift, and in his heart, he gave Little Black Sparrow a command.
Before long, Little Black Sparrow caught another small bird and brought it over.
Moments later, Jiang Chen saw the two small birds in front of him. Pointing at Little Black Sparrow, he said, "From now on, you will be called Number One. The Needle-tailed Swift is Number Two, and the new one is Number Three."
Three little guys should be enough.
...
Early morning. Nothing had happened on Xue Beng's side. Jiang Chen checked through Number Two and saw that Xue Beng's aura had become much stronger.
It seemed that waiting for Xue Beng to die on his own was impossible. Jiang Chen sighed softly. Since Xue Beng couldn't die now, the two guards had lost their use.
Although Xue Beng had received such a huge shock, Jiang Chen believed that once this guy woke up, he would still obediently listen to Xue Xing.
It was almost impossible to make Xue Beng reveal this matter himself.
"Forget it. I'll think of a way to deal with this uncle and nephew pair later."
Jiang Chen said goodbye to Little Shadow and left the house, planning to go see Dugu Yan.
Inside a hotel in the outer city, Dugu Yan entered the room and closed the door tightly.
"Master." She looked at Jiang Chen, her eyes filled with admiration.
Master's plan had indeed worked. Her grandfather had already cut ties with that old dog Xue Xing.
Next would be the time for Master to deal with Xue Beng without worries. She wanted to watch Xue Beng die!
"You did very well," Jiang Chen praised.
Dugu Yan became excited from the praise and quickly said, "It's all because Master's plan was good."
"Master, when are you going to kill Xue Beng?"
"Xue Beng is still a prince after all. If I want to kill him, I must come up with a perfect plan so that no one can find any traces. Don't worry, I will think of a way as soon as possible," Jiang Chen said.
"Mm." Dugu Yan nodded. "My grandfather is preparing to go to Spirit Hall. He said he wants to take me with him, but I don't want to."
Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "Is it because you can't bear to leave your boyfriend Yu Tianheng?"
"Mm. Besides that, I also want to see Xue Beng die. Master, can you persuade my grandfather? Convince him to let me stay behind."
Dugu Yan, who had always been bewitching and wild, suddenly acted like a shy young maiden in front of Jiang Chen
"Your grandfather is probably worried that it won't be safe for you to stay here alone. After all, Xue Beng is not dead yet."
"Yes, Grandfather refuses to let me stay no matter what."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Alright then. Tell your grandfather to go to the Sacred Hall. I will wait for him there."
"Thank you, Master. Then I'll go back and call my grandfather."
"Mm, go ahead."
Although Dugu Yan was already Jiang Chen's person, Jiang Chen still didn't dare to meet Dugu Bo alone.
Last time, there were Bibi Dong and several Title Douluo by his side. This time, he didn't have such strong protection.
Although Dugu Bo valued promises, when it came to matters of life and death, Jiang Chen would not take the risk.
Bibi Dong had once told him that there were Title Douluo stationed inside the Sacred Hall. This was his insurance.
Dugu Yan hurriedly left.
Jiang Chen also left the hotel shortly after, returned home, and came to Salas's office through the secret passage.
Seeing Jiang Chen walk out from inside, Salas quickly stood up to welcome him.
"Your Highness, the Holy Son, why have you come? Is there new progress in the plan?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. "Not yet, for now. Keep those two guards locked up. I came this time to tell you that Dugu Bo will come over in a while. I have some matters to discuss with him."
Salas's expression became serious. "I understand. I will now go and invite the Elder stationed in the Sacred Hall."
"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction. Talking with smart people was comfortable; he didn't even need to spell it out, and Salas had already taken the initiative to invite the Elder.
Before long, an old man of medium build with graying hair walked in.
He moved with vigorous strides and an imposing aura, but the moment he saw Jiang Chen, he withdrew all his aura and walked over with a smiling face.
"Hehe, last night I heard from Salas that the Pope's beloved disciple had arrived in Heaven Dou City."
"Hello, Elder," Jiang Chen said very politely.
After all, this was a Title Douluo; he had to show some respect.
The old man was very satisfied with Jiang Chen's polite attitude. "The Holy Son is too courteous, too courteous."
This Elder's attitude was very friendly. It seemed he was also loyal to Bibi Dong.
"I heard from Salas that as soon as you arrived, you solved the Dugu Bo problem and made him willingly head to Spirit Hall. Truly a hero from the young generation."
"Elder flatters me. You are my senior. If you don't mind, just call me Little Chen."
The Elder was overjoyed. He stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Then I won't be polite. Little Chen, I rank ninth among all the Elders. You can call me Elder Nine."
Before coming, he had been a little worried, afraid that this so-called Holy Son would be difficult to get along with. Now it seemed he had overthought it. This young man was quite likable.
He had long known that Jiang Chen was the Pope's most favored disciple. This relationship was worth building well, as it could very likely affect his future resources and status.
"Elder Nine," Jiang Chen called out naturally and warmly.
In the future, when he became Pope, these Title Douluo would all be his capable assistants.
The two sat down and chatted for a while, getting along very well.
Moments later, Salas led in a tall man completely shrouded in a black robe.
When the wide hood was lifted, it was Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, long time no see." Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward.
Elder Nine quickly followed, worried about Jiang Chen's safety in his heart, but his face remained very calm.
Although Dugu Bo had pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall, he had never done anything for Spirit Hall yet. His loyalty still needed to be tested. They had to be on guard.
A smile appeared on Dugu Bo's stiff face. "It really is you, kid. Yan Yan just told me she ran into you, and I didn't believe it."
Jiang Chen invited Dugu Bo to sit down and smiled, "I didn't expect to run into Yan Yan on the street either. She told me you are going to Spirit Hall, but she doesn't want to go with you?"
Dugu Bo nodded. "Since this old man has promised to work for your Spirit Hall, I will not go back on my word. My debt of gratitude to Prince Xue Xing has been cleared. It's time to leave."
"It's just that the human heart is treacherous. I'm not at ease leaving this girl Yan Yan here alone."
If the Xue Beng incident had not happened, Dugu Bo would not have been worried. But after something like this occurred, how could he feel at ease leaving Dugu Yan behind?
Jiang Chen smiled, "Senior Dugu, rest assured. I will be staying in Heaven Dou City for a long time in the future. Yan Yan can move into the Sacred Hall. With Spirit Hall protecting her, no one will dare to touch her."
Dugu Bo's heart stirred. He had once thought about pairing his granddaughter with Jiang Chen. If Yan Yan moved into the Sacred Hall, there might really be a chance.
Although he knew his granddaughter had been defiled, he still felt she was worthy of Jiang Chen.
In this day and age, how many girls can remain pure before marriage?
It was very normal.
Moreover, if Yan Yan stayed in Spirit Hall, her deterrent power would definitely not be weaker than his, a Title Douluo.
Dugu Bo rubbed his temples and sighed, "Sigh, a grown daughter cannot be kept at home. Since she wants to stay, then I'll have to trouble you, Little Chen."
"Senior Dugu, rest assured. I will take good care of Yan Yan and won't let anyone bully her."
With Jiang Chen's assurance, Dugu Bo finally felt at ease.
As he grew older, his unruly personality had changed somewhat. Now he only wanted to find a place to retire peacefully, and Spirit Hall was a pretty good fit.
He had heard that the status of Elders was very high, and most of the time they stayed in the Elder Hall to cultivate, with good resources as well. It was perfect for him now.
If Yan Yan could really be with Jiang Chen, he would be even more at ease.
Unfortunately, his wish was destined to fall through.
After chatting for a while longer, Dugu Bo stood up and left.
Jiang Chen bid farewell to Elder Nine and Salas, then returned to the small courtyard.
To his surprise, Little Shadow had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him to come back.
Jiang Chen was very satisfied. His painstaking guidance had not been in vain.
After lunch, the two headed to the Imperial Palace.
At that moment, in Xue Beng's room, the situation finally changed.
Two maidservants were groping around on Xue Beng's body with their small hands, undoing his clothes, preparing to help wipe his body.
However, the moment they saw Xue Beng's body clearly, the two little maidservants instantly turned pale with fright.
Two extremely high-pitched screams rang out, almost piercing through people's eardrums.
