With Bai Baoshan by Ma Hongjun's side, Sword Douluo felt relieved. There weren't that many Title Douluos; not all of them would target Ma Hongjun.
With Bai Baoshan's strength as a defensive Soul Douluo, protecting Ma Hongjun was more than enough.
As for why Bai Baoshan was willing to follow Ma Hongjun, it could only be attributed to that joke.
They still trusted Bai Baoshan, because after becoming famous, he had always been at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and his life story was very good—his resume was clear, and he was a law-abiding citizen.
In addition, his personality was usually quite eccentric, so what he did, although a bit outrageous, wasn't entirely unreasonable.
In short, he had no reason to harm Ma Hongjun.
Ning Rongrong went home with Sword Douluo; she was also a little homesick.
The batch of hidden weapons that Tang San had assembled in the last two months were with her, and she planned to take them back to his father to curry favor.
Before leaving, Sword Douluo asked Ma Hongjun to also visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as Ning Fengzhi wanted to meet his future son-in-law.
Although somewhat sudden, it was also expected, and Ma Hongjun readily agreed. However, he needed to first visit the Fairy Clothing Pavilion to see the Shuang'er sisters and inquire about the whereabouts of the soul bone. He
would then go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Old Bai, come on, I'll show you my business. Your gold soul coins will depend on it from now on."
After becoming familiar with Bai Baoshan, he called him Old Bai.
Although he was the boss, Ma Hongjun didn't know where the Fairy Clothing Pavilion in Tiandou City was.
So Xiao Yuanyuan had to take the two of them.
The Fairy Clothing Pavilion currently had five branches in Tiandou City, one each in the east, west, south, north, and the Great Soul Arena.
The Shuang'er sisters were always traveling and didn't know where they were. They mainly inspected the work, but most of the time they were studying clothes.
When they arrived at the Fairy Clothing Pavilion in the east district, the branch manager in charge was Jin Lian, the Jin Lian from the Ghost Axe Duo.
Besides Jinlian, Bule, one of the three lewd scoundrels, was also there.
The three scoundrels were currently running around helping transport goods.
Upon entering, Bule saw Ma Hongjun and was overjoyed, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He rushed over and hugged Ma Hongjun's arm.
What surprised and disgusted Ma Hongjun was that Bule was now dressed in flamboyant attire; the sheer brightness and sexiness of his clothes almost rivaled that of Jinlian beside him.
"Boss, that's great! You're finally here!
Old Goose and I have both broken through to level 50, just waiting for you to lead us in hunting for spirit rings!
And boss, I've also researched many styles of clothing.
You know my martial spirit, right? I heard about your clothing design philosophy and saw our various clothing styles, so I combined my martial spirit to design many styles of women's clothing.
Just a month ago, I put my designs in the store to sell, and they were incredibly popular and sold very well!
Boss, you have to give me a raise!"
Ma Hongjun forcefully pushed Bule away.
"Stand back, I can hear you!
Bu Le, it's only been a few months, and you've reached new heights of lewdness. Have you discovered a new world?"
Ma Hongjun found Bu Le's cross-dressing appearance utterly repulsive.
This guy had a naturally lewd face; he simply couldn't pull off cross-dressing.
"Jin Lian, what's going on? How did Bu Le even come up with clothes?"
Compared to Bu Le's flamboyant, pomegranate-like attire, Jin Lian's was much more pleasing to the eye. Jin Lian swayed nimbly as she approached.
"It's all because of his martial soul! There are all sorts of martial souls, a man possessing one like this!
I don't know where you found such a lewd guy, boss.
But he really has a knack for cross-dressing, and many customers love him.
I don't dare tell anyone he designed them, otherwise, seeing his lewd appearance would probably traumatize them."
Jin Lian's tone, while acknowledging Bu Le's contribution, also carried a strong sense of resentment.
In fact, Bu Le wasn't exactly honest either. Although he feared Ma Hongjun, he couldn't resist his lewd nature and often hovered around Jin Lian.
Ma Hongjun brought Bai Baoshan over to manage the Soul Masters of the Fairy Robe Pavilion.
Now, the three lewd scoundrels were about to become three Soul Kings, and they needed a strong person to keep them in check. Ma Hongjun was busy cultivating and didn't have time to supervise them.
Moreover, the Fairy Robe Pavilion really needed a strong person to lead it and recruit Soul Masters.
The three lewd scoundrels were too lewd and needed to be properly disciplined.
Bai Baoshan was looking for something to do, and when Ma Hongjun mentioned this, he immediately became interested. He loved disciplining people.
He also wanted Bai Baoshan to help Bu Le and Lao E obtain their fifth Soul Rings.
"Jin Lian, how's the investigation about Soul Bones going?" Ma Hongjun asked again about the Soul Bones.
"Still the same old story, there's no sign of Soul Bones on the market," Jin Lian said helplessly.
Bai Baoshan looked at Ma Hongjun in surprise.
"You want to buy soul bones?"
"Yeah, oh, Lao Bai, you've been in Tian Dou City for so long, do you know where to find information about soul bones?"
"Kid, what are you thinking? Buying soul bones? In all these years, I haven't heard of any place selling soul bones.
Generally, soul bones only appear in one place on the market, and that's the Tian Dou Auction House.
But they're extremely rare; you might not see one for ten years.
Soul bones are different from other things; they rarely enter the market and are mostly passed down as family heirlooms.
Soul bones are such precious things; most people who obtain them will choose to fuse with them, and after death, they will choose to pass them on to their descendants.
You could say that the chance of encountering a soul bone on the market is even smaller than the chance of obtaining one by hunting soul beasts."
Ma Hongjun still underestimated the importance of soul bones in the soul master world. This is a world of cultivation, and soul bones are extremely important to soul masters.
"However, it's good that you're prepared for this. I didn't expect you to start collecting soul bones at such a young age. Not bad, you're ambitious!"
"Collecting soul bones would be best, of course, but my eagerness for soul bones isn't for my own cultivation."
Ma Hongjun sighed helplessly and briefly explained Ma Ming's situation.
Bai Baoshan was also somewhat moved after hearing this, not expecting such a hidden story.
"Letting them search for you like this won't be effective. How about this, leave the matter of the soul bone to me. With my connections in Tiandou City, I'll spread the word. As long as a soul bone enters the market, I'll receive the news.
Whether you can get it then depends on you!"
"Thank you, Elder Bai!"
"You're welcome, I'll follow you!"
At the Fairy Robe Pavilion in the North District, Ma Hongjun asked Bu Le to find the remaining two scoundrels and bring them to the North District
to meet up. He would then convene a meeting of the soul masters of the Fairy Robe Pavilion in Tiandou City.
It took more than two hours to walk from the East District to the North District.
Although they didn't use their martial souls to travel within the city, it was enough to demonstrate the size of Tiandou City.
At the Fairy Robe Pavilion in the North District, he met the long-lost Shuang'er sisters. The Shuang'er sisters were now in charge of a powerful organization,
equivalent to the CEOs of a group in Ma Hongjun's previous life.
They had already developed a grand demeanor, displaying the temperament of superiors in every move and demonstrating leadership in every word.
However, in front of Ma Hongjun, the two reverted to their girlish demeanor. They
still greeted each other sweetly, "
Young Master!"
