Then, Qian Xunji casually waved his hand.

A semicircular black soundproof barrier materialized out of thin air, enclosing the three of them and preventing their conversation from leaking out.

"Du Bai, you're no longer a child. Since you have become the Holy Son of Spirit Hall and Dong'er's husband, you should mind your status and conduct when you speak. If you still refuse to behave, I wouldn't mind asking the Hall elders to properly discipline you for a while."

Clearly, what Du Bai had said earlier about directors and acting had displeased Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji glared coldly at Du Bai, placing extra emphasis on the words "Dong'er's husband."

Qian Xunji came on aggressively, and the dangerous aura of a Titled Douluo flowing from him left Du Bai momentarily speechless.

Damn it, old bastard, so you're Qian Xunji? Even the Sea God living by the sea doesn't meddle as much as you do. Believe it or not, once I become a Titled Douluo, I'll knock you out in a secret room and castrate you!

Du Bai kept his mouth clean, but inwardly, he had already cursed back furiously.

Du Bai's inner voice reached Bibi Dong's ears once more.

Bibi Dong's mind jolted. She looked at Qian Xunji and saw no reaction whatsoever. It seemed that only she could hear those words.

After briefly analyzing what she had heard, Bibi Dong immediately locked onto Du Bai with her sharp intellect.

Is this Sound Transmission? Or is it this guy's inner voice? If it really is, Du Bai is far too arrogant.

Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised.

She had not expected that she seemed capable of hearing Du Bai's inner thoughts. There was a ninety percent chance of it, but she still needed confirmation.

After lecturing Du Bai, Qian Xunji turned and openly fixed his burning gaze on Bibi Dong.

"Dong'er, have you really thought this through? Didn't you used to dislike Du Bai? This concerns the rest of your life. After tonight, you two will become husband and wife. Are you sure you don't want to think it over carefully one more time?"

Qian Xunji spoke somewhat unwillingly.

Think my ass. You old bastard, you're so hypocritical. You keep claiming it's for Dong'er's sake, but aren't you just lusting after my Dong'er's body? Get lost, get lost, get lost. Damn old man.

Before Bibi Dong could respond, Du Bai had already cursed him out in his heart.

Du Bai's inner voice, once again defying Qian Xunji, entered Bibi Dong's ears and made her delicate body tremble.

If it was not an auditory hallucination, then Du Bai was rebellious to the extreme.

But Du Bai was right. Qian Xunji harbored improper intentions toward her.

Back then, after Bibi Dong revealed Yu Xiaogang's existence to Qian Xunji, there had always been a frightening desire in the way Qian Xunji looked at her.

Qian Xunji was deeply twisted. After driving Yu Xiaogang away, he had often restricted her actions as well.

Qian Daoliu, the Grand Worshipper of Douluo Hall, had also approached Bibi Dong and hoped that she could unite with his son, Qian Xunji.

With their terrifying talents, they could bear an heir for Spirit Hall.

A master and disciple being together already violated common morality. To Bibi Dong, it was impossible.

Spirit Hall was Qian Xunji's territory. She could not fight against him head-on.

Bibi Dong had kept delaying matters, not daring to completely tear off the mask, while also thinking of a solution.

Fortunately.

After being severely injured by Tang Hao, Qian Xunji had been focused on recovering, giving Bibi Dong a chance to catch her breath.

During that time, Bibi Dong considered her options and finally found a way to escape Qian Xunji's entanglement.

That was to enter a fake marriage with Du Bai and make Qian Xunji abandon his lecherous thoughts.

Du Bai had always kept women at arm's length and rejected everyone from afar.

This time, Bibi Dong had also expended great effort. Only by offering a precious External Soul Bone had she managed to persuade Du Bai to cooperate in the act.

On the surface, Du Bai was extraordinarily talented, and if he became husband and wife with her, they would surely produce a gifted heir for Spirit Hall in the future.

In reality, it was Bibi Dong's way of escaping Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji.

They would be husband and wife in name only, bound solely by a transaction.

That was why Bibi Dong had gone to great lengths to publicize this wedding.

In everyone's eyes, Du Bai, who seemed destined to remain a bachelor until death, had just married Bibi Dong, the greatest beauty in the world.

"Master, I've thought it through. Du Bai is better than Xiaogang, better than everyone else. More importantly, Du Bai has always secretly been in love with me."

As Bibi Dong spoke, her bright eyes turned toward Du Bai.

She had already made a deal with Du Bai in advance, asking him to play along and stage a fake wedding.

"Is that so?"

Qian Xunji stared at Du Bai with an icy expression.

"That is indeed the case. I have always secretly loved Dong'er, and only recently did I finally gather the courage to confess and propose to her."

Du Bai explained with an utterly harmless expression.

Upon hearing that, Qian Xunji's Titled Douluo aura stalled.

Du Bai, haven't you always been dull, uninterested in women, and detached from human affairs?

I arranged a childhood betrothal for you two and tried to bring you together since you were young, yet you fucking rejected it with righteous indignation.

Why are you suddenly secretly in love with Dong'er and planning to marry her?

I worked so hard to raise Dong'er. The more I looked at her, the more pleasing she became, the more I desired her.

As your master, I thought you didn't want her, so I had already silently claimed Dong'er for myself.

Qian Xunji could not accept it. Three years ago, that Blue Silver Grass had sacrificed itself, and Tang Hao had hammered him into serious injury.

Qian Xunji's desire to leave behind descendants and continue his lineage had only grown stronger. Bibi Dong was clearly the most suitable candidate.

I painstakingly raised her to adulthood and drove Yu Xiaogang away, only for Du Bai to appear out of nowhere. What a wonderful disciple I have.

It was too sudden. He could not accept it. He simply could not accept it.

Qian Xunji roared hysterically.

"Dong'er, do you like Du Bai? If you don't, your master can cancel this wedding for you right now. Your master hopes you will be happy for the rest of your life."

Qian Xunji made his final struggle.

"Master, feelings can be cultivated gradually. I do have feelings for Du Bai. He is the Holy Son, and I am the Holy Maiden. We are the pair acknowledged by Spirit Hall as the most suitable for each other. I misjudged before. Yu Xiaogang is not worthy of me."

Bibi Dong responded sincerely.

At those words, Qian Xunji's body trembled.

It's over. Their feelings are mutual.

With the status and identities of the two of you as Holy Son and Holy Maiden, both Soul Douluos, how am I supposed to knock you out in a secret room and earn the title of Secret Room Master?

"Since that is the case, your master wishes you both happiness."

After steadying his aura, Qian Xunji spoke reluctantly.

"Thank you for your blessing, Master. With my talent of Twin Martial Souls, I will certainly be able to have an incomparably gifted Kirin Son with Dong'er and make Spirit Hall the number one force in the world."

Du Bai carried the act through to the end, speaking with apparent sincerity.

But to Qian Xunji, it was simply killing him and stabbing him in the heart.

"Good. Very good. Your master looks forward to that day."

Qian Xunji still had to respond with satisfaction, but a trace of coldness flashed imperceptibly in the depths of his eyes.

"It's getting late. Your master will not disturb you two any longer."

"Alright, Master. Take care."

With that, Qian Xunji left alone, somewhat despondent.

This wedding had dealt Qian Xunji an enormous blow. The body of Bibi Dong, whom he had constantly longed for, was now beyond his reach.

Go back. Go back and think of a way to break this pair apart.

With a sigh, Qian Xunji walked away without looking back.
