Golden Crown sat back down in the main seat.
With his legs crossed, his attitude was even more arrogant than before.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, my time is precious. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes, I am truly sorry for disturbing Young Master Jin's precious time."
"Also, you can just call me Yue Guan."
"If that's too much, you can even call me Little Yue Yue."
Yue Guan smiled fawningly.
His integrity had fallen to the ground.
As for dignity, he had long since cast it aside.
Seeing Yue Guan like this, Golden Crown didn't waste words: "So, Elder Chrysanthemum, how have you considered joining the Hall of Worship?"
"This is your last chance."
"If you agree, I will personally offer you the mystical immortal herb."
"If you don't agree, I'll take the Immortal Herb and leave immediately."
"Ah, this... is there a third option?" Yue Guan said cheekily.
It wasn't that he didn't want the mystical immortal herb.
On the contrary.
His heart yearned for it deeply.
But if he agreed to become a member of the Hall of Worship, it would be difficult to explain to Bibi Dong.
After all, his current position was entirely due to Bibi Dong's patronage.
Furthermore, he feared Bibi Dong's strength.
If that woman discovered he had betrayed her, she would surely kill him at all costs.
"It seems you, Chrysanthemum Pass, are indeed loyal enough to Bibi Dong."
"In that case, I won't force you."
"Goodbye."
Golden Crown finished speaking, closed the jade box, and walked out without looking back.
Seeing his opportunity for breakthrough about to slip away.
Yue Guan became anxious.
He quickly spoke: "Oh, Young Master Jin, why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I wouldn't join."
"Oh, Elder Chrysanthemum means you can join the Hall of Worship?" Golden Crown said calmly.
Yue Guan said: "I can, but it will be difficult to explain to the Supreme Pontiff."
"You don't need to worry about that."
"After you join the Hall of Worship, you can still openly stay by Bibi Dong's side and work for her."
"But secretly, you must be loyal to the Hall of Worship, or rather, loyal to me."
Golden Crown's tone gradually became serious.
"You mean, you want me to infiltrate the Supreme Pontiff's side?"
Yue Guan suddenly understood.
No wonder Golden Crown went to such lengths to win him over.
Sending the head of his enemy Dugu Bo, and also sending an Immortal Herb.
It turned out this kid wanted to sideline the Supreme Pontiff.
Seeing Yue Guan still hesitating, Golden Crown gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, Bibi Dong will absolutely not know about your secret joining of the Hall of Worship. Moreover, even if she did know, the Hall of Worship would protect you."
"Or do you think our two Level 99 Peerless Douluo of the Hall of Worship can't protect you?"
"Good! I'll join!" Having received assurance of safety, Yue Guan agreed without hesitation.
Actually, he had been hesitating for a long time.
He was just waiting for that sentence.
To be honest.
He had long been fed up with Bibi Dong.
Not only was she constantly moody.
He also had to guess her thoughts every day, fearing that something he did wouldn't align with Bibi Dong's wishes.
"Elder Chrysanthemum is indeed a smart person, but I still prefer your rebellious appearance from just now."
"Come, put away your chrysanthemum."
Golden Crown smiled and handed the Immortal Herb to Yue Guan.
Looking at the long-awaited Immortal Herb in his hand, Yue Guan was incredibly excited. He immediately bowed respectfully and said: "This subordinate will definitely be loyal to the Hall of Worship, go through fire and water, and not shrink from death."
Rebellious? What was that? He had never heard of it.
"We are all on the same side now, no need to be so polite."
"However, there's one thing Elder Chrysanthemum needs to pay attention to."
"That is, Bibi Dong must not know about the Immortal Herb."
"Young Master Jin, rest assured, this subordinate will keep it a secret." After assuring him, Yue Guan asked again: "This subordinate has another request."
"What is it?" Golden Crown asked back.
Yue Guan asked: "I wonder if the Hall of Worship has any extra Immortal Herbs."
Golden Crown instantly understood his meaning.
As everyone knew.
Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei were very close friends, always inseparable in any action.
The two had known each other since they were four years old, and had gone through sixty years together until now.
Their bond was closer than that of blood brothers.
In the original work, after Gui Mei was killed by Tang San, Chrysanthemum Douluo was heartbroken.
He eventually chose to seek death and followed Ghost Douluo.
This inquiry about the Immortal Herb was definitely for Gui Mei.
"Is Elder Chrysanthemum asking for Gui Mei?" Golden Crown asked directly.
Yue Guan said awkwardly: "Young Master truly has keen insight, this humble one's thoughts cannot be hidden from you."
Golden Crown pretended to ponder for a moment.
Then he said: "Of course there is."
He pretended to choose from a spirit tool, but in reality, he took out a jade box from his system space.
"This is the Profound Nether Shadow Spirit Grass, an immortal-grade medicinal herb, and it has a very high compatibility with Elder Ghost's Martial Soul."
"As long as Elder Chrysanthemum can persuade Elder Ghost to join the Hall of Worship together."
"This Immortal Herb will be Elder Ghost's."
"Young Master is magnificent!" Yue Guan quickly offered flattery.
He began various praises.
Golden Crown raised his hand to stop him: "Alright, Elder Chrysanthemum, don't waste time, go and persuade Elder Ghost as soon as possible."
"After all, the medicinal effects of the Immortal Herb will diminish over time."
"Right, right, right, look at my memory."
"I'll go find old Ghost now."
Yue Guan put away the mystical immortal herb and quickly went to find Gui Mei.
Watching Yue Guan's departing back, Golden Crown smiled slightly: "Very good, successfully turned one. As long as I also control Gui Mei, I'd like to see how you, Bibi Dong, will harm Spirit Hall in the future."
"Speaking of which, while there are many Immortal Herbs, I can't use them all to win people over."
"Otherwise, what will I eat later?"
Thinking of this.
Golden Crown immediately decided to stop at Gui Mei for winning people over for now.
Yue Guan quickly persuaded Gui Mei to join the Hall of Worship.
Golden Crown naturally kept his promise and gifted the Profound Nether Shadow Spirit Grass to Gui Mei.
Looking at the Immortal Herb in his hand, Gui Mei was quite disdainful.
Joining the Hall of Worship for a mere blade of grass, it was a huge loss.
Fortunately, Yue Guan explained it to him.
Only then did Ghost Douluo understand what a treasure the grass in his hand was.
Then the two found an excuse and requested leave from Bibi Dong to go into seclusion.
Bibi Dong was naturally very surprised by Chrysanthemum and Ghost's breakthrough.
Because in her opinion, these two had already exhausted their potential by reaching Level 95.
Further advancement was simply impossible.
But unexpectedly, both of them were about to break through.
This was good too.
After all, they were her subordinates, and becoming stronger would help her consolidate Spirit Hall's position.
Once she could become a god.
She could slaughter the entire Angel Clan, and also eliminate those who didn't obey her, then establish her own Empire.
Immediately after, she would bring back her beloved.
And so, amidst Bibi Dong's twisted thoughts.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei successfully took leave.
And secretly went to the Hall of Worship to enter seclusion and break through...
