After that, Wu Bo took Dugu Qianye on a tour around the various parts of the Divine Temple. Dugu Qianye observed the Divine Guard Team mbers stationed every ten steps, each displaying formidable strength. While she chatted with Wu Bo with a smile on her face, her mind was busy calculating her odds if she were to confront the Divine Temple.
"What do you think of our Divine Temple, Master?" Having completed the tour, Wu Bo, intentionally or not, asked Dugu Qianye as they walked towards the grand hall.
"The Divine Temple truly lives up to its reputation as a first-rate power throughout the entire continent. Everyone here is very impressive. The environnt is also excellent, with rich spiritual energy. If one could cultivate here, advancent would surely be faster than elsewhere," Dugu Qianye praised openly.
"Hahahaha." Wu Bo laughed heartily upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s praise.
By now, they had arrived at the grand hall, and with a wave of his hand, Wu Bo dismissed every mber of the Divine Guard Team inside and turned to Dugu Qianye. "Then, I wonder if Master would be willing to join our Divine Temple?"
"What?" Dugu Qianye was surprised; she had not expected that the Divine Temple would actually want to recruit her. She had thought they called her rely to treat soone’s injuries or sothing of the sort.
Seeing the surprise on Dugu Qianye’s face, Wu Bo continued, "The Elixir Hall I just showed you, if Master is willing to join our Divine Temple, you could be the Hall Master of the Elixir Hall. Or if you prefer, you could also be a Hall Master at one of the external divisions."
Startled? To offer the position of Hall Master right from the start was to show absolute determination to have her!
Dugu Qianye said with a troubled face, "But, my master is the president of the Alchemist Guild. If I join the Divine Temple, that, that would not be good, would it?"
"Haha, Master is overthinking it. We do not an that after joining the Divine Temple you should cut all ties with them. You can still visit the Alchemist Guild, even being with our Divine Temple. As long as your main focus is on the Divine Temple, it is also fine to occasionally return to the Guild," Wu Bo explained.
"This, this temptation thrown out by the Hall Master is really too much, even Baili Xie can’t help but be moved," Dugu Qianye said with a laugh. An average person would probably have already been tempted to agree, "But Baili Xie likes freedom, which is why I refused when they asked to join the Alchemist Guild before."
"Haha, if Master joins our Divine Temple, the Divine Master introducing you to the superior is not impossible. In that case, Master could have even more opportunities for developnt. Us n, who does not want to make a difference? Having achieved current goals, one always aspires to climb higher. Such opportunities aren’t for everyone, Master should consider it carefully," Wu Bo said, noticing Dugu Qianye seed sowhat intrigued and thus pressed on.
"Who is this superior?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"The superior is the Divine Master’s brother and the General under the Ruler, Lu Yuanhong," Wu Bo said, his eyes unable to hide his respect and admiration.
"The Divine Master has a brother? And he’s a General under the Ruler, that’s really impressive!" Dugu Qianye exclaid in amazent.
That Lu Yuanhong, wasn’t he the one who suppressed her father in the Fla Abyss? How could she not know of him!
"So, if Master joins our Divine Temple, you would understand what that would an for your future developnt," Wu Bo said, seeing the glint in Dugu Qianye’s eyes growing warr, knowing she was indeed tempted.
Yet Dugu Qianye was in no hurry to agree; she took a sip of tea, then asked, "By the way, why haven’t I seen the Divine Master?"
"The Divine Master is in seclusion, so it’s inconvenient for him to et guests. But if Master becos one of us, the Divine Master will surely find the ti to et with you," Wu Bo replied nonchalantly.
"Oh." Dugu Qianye nodded, thought for a mont, and said, "Could the Hall Master give a couple of days to think about it?"
Seeing that Dugu Qianye was indeed moved, Wu Bo responded, "Very well, why doesn’t Master stay at our Divine Temple for a few days then?"
Dugu Qianye nodded and returned to her own room.
She couldn’t wait to stay in the Divine Temple for a couple more days in order to uncover further information. However, the people from the main hall of the Divine Temple were tight-lipped, and although they knew she was Baili Xie, the most they would do was engage in enthusiastic conversation with her, sealing their lips when it ca to the secrets of the Divine Temple.
Thinking of the Divine Master’s seclusion, Dugu Qianye always felt there was sothing fishy. Counting the ti she had been in seclusion, it was exactly when the Divine Temple of Xuanyue Continent was destroyed. At that ti, she had also sent a doppelgänger to the Xuanyue Continent...
A doppelgänger?!
Upon thinking of this, Dugu Qianye flashed into the Refining Demon Pot and found Dugu Yunheng, who was cultivating.
Dugu Yixuan and the others knew that Dugu Qianye was going to the Divine Temple to find information and were really worried, insisting on accompanying her. After discussion, Dugu Chenyuan and Xie Bing managed family affairs at ho, while Dugu Yunheng, along with Phoenix Third Miss and Dugu Yixuan, followed Dugu Qianye to the Divine Temple, and in the anti, cultivated inside the Refining Demon Pot.
"Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother, Father." When Dugu Qianye entered, the three of them were not cultivating but sitting together discussing sothing. Seeing Dugu Qianye co in, they waved at her happily.
"Qianye, why did you co in? Have you encountered trouble?" Phoenix Third Miss asked as she made room for Dugu Qianye to sit beside her.
Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "No trouble, I just have sothing to ask you."
"What is it?" asked Dugu Yixuan.
"About the doppelgänger," said Dugu Qianye. "What will happen if a doppelgänger dies and doesn’t return to its original body?"
"If the projection is shattered, the person will only feel a bit uncomfortable. But if a doppelgänger is killed, the original body will suffer a heavy blow. Minor cases result in injury, while severe cases lead to a regression in strength," Dugu Yunheng replied.
"Whose doppelgänger was killed?" asked Phoenix Third Miss.
"The Divine Master, that old witch," Dugu Qianye was now certain that the Divine Master must have suffered a great blow—her doppelgänger was killed on the Xuanyue Continent, and her original body must have been affected. Huagui was her Contract Beast and was also killed; contracting such a ferocious beast would result in backlash. Therefore, she had to seclude herself for healing, leaving the affairs of the Divine Temple to be managed by Wu Bo.
"Right, I saw that Wu Bo," Dugu Qianye thought of Wu Bo and said, "He wanted to invite to join the Divine Temple, even offering the position of a branch hall master."
Wu Bo!" Hearing Wu Bo’s na, Dugu Yixuan and the others clenched their teeth bitterly.
"Wu Bo is not an easy person to fool, as can be seen from the many years he has managed the Divine Temple. Moreover, he is very powerful. Be careful when dealing with him," Dugu Yunheng warned.
"I know," said Dugu Qianye. "Now that the Divine Master is secluding herself for healing, I can’t see her unless I join the Divine Temple."
"Then be careful in everything. If push cos to shove, we will take the hard approach," said Phoenix Third Miss.
Dugu Qianye nodded, talked with them a little longer, then left the Refining Demon Pot.
Two days later, Dugu Qianye was called over by Wu Bo. This ti, he did not beat around the bush but asked directly, "Has the master made up her mind?"
Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "The hall master has made an offer I can hardly refuse. However, I don’t want to manage those matters. There’s no need for the title of hall master. As long as you give ti for alchemy and provide the materials needed, I agree to join."
