Chapter 2241: Could It Be? (1/2)

” A new Holy Prince?” Song Shaokang and Song Fu were dazed in shock for a long time before the most important term hit them.

“Holy Prince!” The two exclaimed in the same breath.

Song Fu added anxiously, “Kang’er, quick, we should also hurry over!”

Song Shaokang nodded quickly and dashed to the main hall where the tests were being conducted.

But, halfway to the main hall, Song Shaokang stopped abruptly, and his face was drained of blood as beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“What is it now?” Song Fu asked strangely, seeing that his son had stopped abruptly with a pale face.

Song Shaokang’s voice slightly trembled as he asked, “Father, do you think..., could it be…?!”

Song Fu was even more perplexed by his son’s behavior, and he couldn’t figure out what his son was trying to say.

However, a thought flashed across his mind like lightning, and he understood what his son was trying to say. He stuttered, ”Y-you, are you saying it's Huang Xiaolong?! That-that Huang Xiaolong?!”

Huang Xiaolong!

Song Fu felt his four limbs going cold, and his heart threatened to stop beating.

Song Shaokang stood like wood with an empty mind. For a moment, he even could not remember his own name.

Others were in the dark, but the father and son knew very well that Xiao Feng had gone to preside over Huang Xiaolong’s test after leaving Huang Xiaolong outside for an entire night!

The day before through the previous night, both of them were comfortably drinking tea and discussing dao with Xiao Feng, fully enjoying themselves. Last night, Song Fu had even contemplated if Huang Xiaolong were to come to him on his knees after the test, if he should be magnanimous and spare Huang Xiaolong’s life? He could just break Huang Xiaolong’s legs as a small punishment!

“It’s probably, probably not Huang Xiaolong, right?” A long time later, Song Fu managed to squeeze out.

Even at this point, he still harbored a thread of hope.

Song Shaokang’s throat felt dry, and his voice came out slightly hoarse, “...Perhaps it’s really not that Huang Xiaolong. Maybe someone else came in the morning for testing!”

Although there weren’t many disciples that came to register at the Holy Gate Division, there would be someone every day. At times, there would even be two to three disciples in a day.

Thus, the person being tested right now was not necessarily Huang Xiaolong!

Harboring this hope, Song Shaokang and Song Fu were a little less reluctant to head to the main hall.

Whereas, the Holy Gate headquarters’ disciple Sun Huage as well as the Division Master Liu Cheng were the firsts to make it to the testing main hall, but when they arrived, neither of them dared to rush inside and interrupt the process. Both waited anxiously outside the doors, looking respectful yet excited.

Both were staring fixedly at the doors with serious faces, yet holding their breaths. They were afraid of making the slightest noise that would disturb the disciple taking the test inside the hall.

Generally speaking, it usually took half a day for the three aspects of a person, the saint physique, saint bloodline, and complete dao saint godhead to be entirely tested.

Not long after Sun Huage and Liu Cheng reached the main hall, the division’s high custodian, and several other custodians also arrived one after another.

These custodians were about to salute when they spotted Sun Huage and Liu Cheng, but Sun Huage and Liu Cheng had already turned and shook their heads vigorously at them. Placing a finger in front of their lips, both made a sharp shushing noise: “Sshhhh!”

Sshhh! This was telling the custodians to be quiet in the most direct manner.

The division’s high custodian and other custodians were frightened by Sun Huage and Liu Cheng’s fierceness. All of them quickly shut their mouths and lightened their footsteps as they approached Sun Huage and Liu Cheng. They stood respectfully behind Sun Huage and Liu Cheng.
