Bibi Dong: Men Are Not Good Things.

Bibi Dong's willow-thin eyebrows knitted together, the murderous intent in her eyes receding like the tide as she coldly spat out, "Men are never trustworthy!"

Beneath the white jade steps of the Martial Soul Hall, Golden Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan looked flustered, forcing a smile. "Your Eminence, does that make me a bad man?"

"You need to be a man first before you can even talk about whether men are trustworthy!"

Just minutes earlier, Yue Guan had returned to report a scandalous rumor.

Throughout the Martial Soul Hall, people were discussing how Tuoba Xi seemed to be growing younger, with silver hair sprouting dark strands and his skin as smooth as a baby's.

Knowing Bibi Dong's meticulous attention to her appearance, Yue Guan had been sent to the Tuoba Clan to investigate.

When questioned, Tuoba Xi simply claimed to have encountered a celestial herb in the Soul Hunting Forest and gained this change after consuming it.

"A load of nonsense!"

Doubt clouded Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes as she lightly tapped the carved armrest of the Pontiff's throne. "Did Tuoba Xi obtain a Soul Ring to rejuvenate himself? And what was the first Soul Skill of Tuoba Yan?"

Once bitten by a snake, you fear the rope for ten years.

Bibi Dong, having been deceived by Qian Xin Ji in the past, had honed her perception. Her intuition told her that Tuoba Xi's transformation was undoubtedly linked to that child's Soul Skill.

Yue Guan bowed his head respectfully. "Reporting to Your Eminence, Tuoba Yan stated that his first Soul Skill is called 'Holy Healing Nine Turns,' derived from a four-hundred-year Celestial Horse Soul Ring, which can heal injuries and eliminate abnormal physical conditions."

"A four-hundred-year Soul Ring?" Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes widened. "It can grant two auxiliary Soul Skills?"

It was well known that only Soul Rings with an age of over ten thousand years could grant a Soul Master two different Soul Skills.

Healing was one Soul Skill, and eliminating any abnormal condition was another.

A four-hundred-year Soul Ring possessing two different auxiliary Soul Skills was unheard of.

Yue Guan quickly explained, seeing her reaction. "Your Eminence, please allow me to explain. Tuoba Xi's Saint Martial Spirit is a mutated Martial Soul, and it may be this characteristic that has caused this unusual effect. For example, the Nine-Hearted Sea棠 Martial Spirit's healing power can also simultaneously dispel abnormal states."

As a Title Douluo, Yue Guan had a deep understanding of Martial Souls.

Some powerful healing Soul Masters could, when using healing Soul Skills, rely on their immense healing abilities to eliminate abnormalities within their own bodies.

Like a Soul Master possessing the Nine-Hearted Sea棠 Martial Spirit.

With the assistance of Sea棠 Douluo, it would be incredibly difficult for a Soul Master to die.

On his way back, Yue Guan had already harbored suspicions and had anticipated the reason behind this.

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, her fingers tapping the armrest rhythmically. After a while, Bibi Dong concluded, "Tuoba Xi lied!"

Having served Bibi Dong for a long time, he understood her well. He tentatively asked, "Your Eminence, are you saying that Tuoba Xi's rejuvenation is due to his grandson's first Soul Skill?"

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up, her deep eyes piercing through Tuoba Xi's petty schemes. She nodded repeatedly. A subtle smirk crept onto her lips as she realized Tuoba Xi's little trick.

Yue Guan immediately understood. "Tuoba Xi is deceiving outsiders to protect his grandson?"

Bibi Dong was a woman nearing fifty. Despite still looking young and beautiful, she secretly worked very hard to maintain her skin.

Now, with a Soul Skill that could "rejuvenate" someone, Bibi Dong felt a similar heat in her eyes as the beauty-conscious Yue Guan.

Bibi Dong commanded, "Yue Guan, go to the Tuoba Clan again. Issue a decree to bring Tuoba Yan before me. If you bring him before me, I will ensure that all lies are exposed."

It was widely known that the Pontiff of the Martial Soul Hall was a puppet.

Bibi Dong was the current Pontiff of the Martial Soul Hall, but she was not a puppet.

Besides being the daughter-in-law of the Qian Clan, Bibi Dong possessed other means, which had almost completely freed her from the puppet's control.

"Your Eminence, today may not be an appropriate time," Golden Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a troubled expression.

"What is inappropriate?"

"To be frank, Your Eminence. On my way back, Tuoba Yan left the Tuoba Clan in my carriage and went to the Heaven and Earth Nightclub by himself."

"Say that again."

"Your Eminence, Tuoba Yan went to the Heaven and Earth Nightclub alone."

Martial Soul City was known as the city of Soul Masters, a sacred place for Soul Masters.

Martial Soul City had many dissolute young masters. Some of them were lecherous.

Having presided over the Martial Soul Hall for many years, she had seen the extravagance of high society, but she had never heard of a noble youth frequenting a pleasure house so early in life.

This absurd matter brought to mind a past she wished to forget.

Sigh~

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly. Dark memories from the depths of her mind resurfaced, and she recalled the painful experience of being deceived by her teacher, Qian Xin Ji, in a secluded chamber. A strange, purple-black aura appeared on her body.

"Your Eminence, please calm yourself!" Yue Guan was startled and hastily knelt down.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions, and her eyes were filled with contempt and disgust. "Indeed, no man is trustworthy!"

Yue Guan grimaced and reminded her, "Your Eminence, I am also a man……"

Bibi Dong looked him up and down, then suddenly chuckled, "Yue Guan, I can't tell you're a man, except for your Adam's apple. That's why I trust and use you."

Golden Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at him with a strange expression and asked deliberately, "And the old ghost?"

"The Ghostly Figure, naturally, is a ghost."

Yue Guan silently thought to himself, and finally understood why he and Ghostly Figure could become Bibi Dong's confidants. It seemed that in this Pontiff's eyes, they were no longer considered "men."

Thinking about the task Bibi Dong had just assigned, Yue Guan cautiously asked, "Then… should I still bring Tuoba Yan to meet with Your Eminence?"

Bibi Dong wrinkled her nose with disgust. "Don't let such a filthy boy defile the ground of the Pontiff's Hall!"
