Paying Respects to Qian Xunji
After seeing that Qian Renxue Qian Daoliu and Azure Luan didn't react, Bai Wanwan winked playfully at Bai Wanwan.
Bai Wanwan felt her cheeks burning, and she lowered her head slightly, taking small bites of the pastry.
"Grandpa, I'd like to go with Wanwan to pay our respects to my father later."
Qian Renxue watched as Bai Wanwan finished her pastries, then reached out and picked up a new pastry, feeding it to Bai Wanwan.
Watching Qian Renxue's actions, Bai Wanwan felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, and even had the illusion that her head was steaming.
She glanced cautiously at Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, Guangling, and the others, and only after realizing that none of them were paying attention to what was happening here did she gently part her red lips and take a bite of the pastry in front of her.
"Okay, I'll go with you later."
Qian Daoliu was focused on his game of chess with Golden Crocodile, but his gaze kept drifting towards Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan, taking in their somewhat intimate actions.
The Golden Crocodile and the Azure Luan did the same; although they saw it, they pretended not to see anything.
The only difference is that it's called Guangling.
Although he saw it too, he didn't say anything, but he kept looking at Qian Daoliu with a resentful gaze.
Qian Daoliu, of course, ignored this.
Time passed slowly.
With Qian Daoliu placing the last piece on the Chessboard, the Chessboard ended in a draw.
Looking at the chessboard before him, Qian Daoliu smiled at Golden Crocodile, stood up from his seat, and waved towards Qian Renxue: "Let's go, let's pay our respects to your father."
Okay~
Qian Renxue agreed, then released Bai Wanwan from her arms, took Bai Wanwan's hand, and followed behind Qian Daoliu toward the door.
As she passed Guangling, Bai Wanwan revealed a smile that seemed capable of melting glaciers, but she remained silent.
Seeing Bai Wanwan's smile, Guangling's somewhat unhappy mood improved a little.
Well, just a little bit.
After Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and the others left the Hall, Azure Luan came to Guangling's side and patted Guangling on the shoulder. "Wanwan and the Young Master are quite a good match."
"And you don't have to worry about Wanwan being bullied or Wanwan badly in the future. Isn't that a good thing?"
Azure Luan looked towards the doorway, a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Yes, just as he said, Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue are quite a good match.
Whether it's talent, appearance, ability, background, or shrewdness, they are all very suitable. The only thing that might not be quite right is their gender.
But this isn't a major problem.
After all, neither the two parties involved nor their elders had expressed any objection.
"I know."
"I'm not worried about those things, I just didn't expect Wanwan to have a partner so soon..."
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."
"You've been single for decades, how would you know about these things?"
Guangling retracted the spinning Arrows in her hand, put her hands behind her back, and quietly stared in the direction of the door.
A question mark gradually appeared above Azure Luan's head.
Good grief, so what if he's been single for decades?
Is there a problem?
Guangling is different; she's been single for decades.
The only difference is that Guangling was lucky enough to adopt a wonderful granddaughter.
Golden Crocodile listened to their conversation, he picked up his Teacup and silently sipped his Clear Tea, showing no intention of speaking, but a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
As Bai Wanwan's Teacher, he shared the same view as Azure Luan, both believing that Wanwan and the Young Master were a perfect match.
Spirit City.
On a picturesque hill, Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and others walked along a bumpy path.
After walking along the path for more than ten minutes, a solitary grave overgrown with weeds came into view. In front of the grave stood a tombstone with the five large characters "Tomb of Qian Xunji".
Looking at the tombstone in front of her, Qian Renxue's eyes unconsciously reddened, while Bai Wanwan surveyed her surroundings.
"Since you went out to train, I haven't come here much, so the weeds here haven't been cleared in time."
Qian Daoliu spoke softly.
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, without saying a word.
Upon arriving at the tombstone, Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue together cleared away the surrounding weeds.
After clearing away all the weeds, Qian Renxue was the first to kneel down before the tombstone to pay her respects.
Bai Wanwan looked at the tombstone in front of her, thought for a moment, and then prepared to kneel down with Qian Renxue. After all, the dead should be respected, and as a junior, she should pay her respects.
But just as Bai Wanwan slightly lifted her skirt, preparing to make a move, Qian Daoliu stopped her with a hand.
"Wanwan, a bow is enough to show your respect; there's no need to kneel."
Qian Daoliu's voice was very gentle.
Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan nodded gently, lowered her slightly raised skirt, and bowed to the tombstone.
After doing all this, Bai Wanwan quietly stepped aside.
Qian Renxue then recounted her experiences over the past two years to the tombstone, including killing Tang Hao to avenge him and her relationship with Bai Wanwan.
A gentle breeze rustled through the surrounding trees, creating a soft, silent sound as if in response.
Bai Wanwan, on the other hand, remained quietly gazing at the tombstone, a thoughtful expression in her deep blue eyes.
As the former Pope, Qian Xunji did not make any significant contributions to the Spirit Hall, but he also did not commit any major mistakes; he could be considered to have been diligent and conscientious.
If I were to say anything wrong, it would only be about two things.
The first is naturally what he did to Bibi Dong, a stain he can never wash away in his lifetime.
Otherwise, even if he never made any significant contributions in his life, but simply served as Pope diligently, he could still be buried in the Spirit Hall and be revered by future generations after his death.
The second mistake was that the methods were not ruthless enough, and the person was too soft-hearted. Since it was known that a mistake had been made, and that it was an irreversible mistake, then the person should have gone all the way and left no hope or illusion, and no hidden dangers or worries.
While this approach still cannot erase the stain, it at least prevents discord between the Papal Hall and the Worship Hall, avoids open and covert struggles between the two palaces, and prevents disagreements between the current Pope and his successor.
Therefore, from an objective perspective, Bai Wanwan's evaluation of Qian Xunji is: He worked diligently in the first half of his life, without any merit or mistakes, but in the second half of his life, due to his excessively extreme methods, he created a stain that he could never wash away. Furthermore, due to his lack of courage and soft heart, he planted extremely serious hidden dangers for the Spirit Hall.
