Qian Renxue beckoned to Bai Wanwan with her finger, gesturing for her to come closer.

Seeing Qian Renxue's actions, Bai Wanwan leaned forward a little closer to Qian Renxue, just as she was about to listen to Qian Renxue explain the specific content of the assessment. However, Qian Renxue moved forward a fraction of an inch faster than lightning.

"Hmm~"

Bai Wanwan let out a soft hum, feeling the sudden soft touch, her cheeks gradually turning pale pink, while a hint of confusion appeared in her azure eyes.

"Weren't you supposed to be talking about the assessment content?"

"How... how could it suddenly be like this..."

Bai Wanwan thought to herself silently, and then gradually closed her eyes.

After a while.

The two separated.

Qian Renxue reached out and pinched Bai Wanwan's cheek, saying, "Wanwan, don't ask about the assessment content. Although the assessment is difficult, I'm confident I can complete it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue took Bai Wanwan's hand and led Bai Wanwan out of the Angel Secret Realm.

As for the assessment content, Qian Renxue had no intention of telling Bai Wanwan.

After all, this assessment was a little bit unconventional.

Moreover, it's extremely difficult, requiring a full thirty attempts, which would take at least several days to complete.

No, we've already completed one attempt, so there are 29 attempts left.

Before leaving the Angel Secret Realm, Qian Renxue Qian Renxue glanced subtly in the direction of the Angel God Statue. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she had a feeling that the Angel God Statue was watching her.

After leaving the Angel Secret Realm, Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan headed straight for their room, intending to go back and rest for a while.

The next day, early morning.

In the study of the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong sat in the main seat, holding a pen in her hand, staring thoughtfully at a piece of paper in front of her, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while.

Bibi Dong picked up her pen and wrote Hu Liena's name on the paper. Then she carefully examined the contents of the paper, crossed out Hu Liena's name, and finally looked at the contents of the paper carefully.

Repeat this several times.

Bibi Dong finally crumpled the paper into a ball, tossed it aside, and picked up another piece of paper, silently beginning to write.

The content of the writing was to establish Holy Maiden and reinstate the Pope.

The position of Holy Maiden in the Spirit Hall is equivalent to succeeding the Pope, so the so-called establishment of Holy Maiden is actually the determination of the Future Heir.

The reinstatement of the long-abolished Pope was also a result of Bibi Dong's careful consideration.

In the past, the Pope was in charge of external affairs, handling combat-related issues, while the Pope was in charge of internal affairs, handling government matters submitted from various regions. The two were considered equal in rank.

However, for various reasons, the position of Pope was abolished during the reigns of the first few Pope, and the Pope was instead given sole control over both military and political affairs.

Bibi Dong wants to reinstate the Pope mainly because of Bai Wanwan. Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue have complementary personalities; one focuses on internal affairs while the other focuses on external affairs, so the pressure is not so great, and they can both relax a bit.

As for initially wanting to add Hu Liena's name, it was because Hu Liena was his student whom he had taught for more than ten years, and there was still a bond between them. He also wanted to give his student a better opportunity to showcase her talents.

This can be done after careful consideration.

Bibi Dong ultimately abandoned this idea.

The reason for abandoning the idea was simple: adding Hu Liena's name made her feel like Hu Liena was just there to make up the numbers.

Both Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan are capable of standing on their own in terms of talent, ability, and strength. As for their achievements, they have recruited many small and medium-sized sects as their subordinates. Regardless of whether the initial plan can be completed, they have already achieved their own merits and built up their own teams.

In contrast, Bibi Dong racked her brains but could only come up with the title of "good talent" for Hu Liena.

After all, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and others also have the title of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation.

As for her abilities, Hu Liena has not yet shown them as she is still studying at the Spirit Academy and has not yet graduated.

In terms of strength, Hu Liena's current abilities are simply no match for Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan.

Although Bibi Dong wanted to give her disciple a platform to showcase her talents, unfortunately, Hu Liena was currently unable to do so, so she had to abandon this idea.

Soon, Bibi Dong finished writing down the matter of establishing Holy Maiden and restarting the Pope. After carefully checking it and confirming that there were no problems, Bibi Dong got up from her seat, took the written document, and headed towards the Worship Hall.

Matters such as canonizing Holy Maiden and reinstating the Pope require a vote by many high-ranking officials to make a decision.

In terms of voting, Bibi Dong has an advantage. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she has a full three votes.

Walking on the path Worship Hall.

Bibi Dong suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw the Second Worship Golden Crocodile, and the Fifth Elder Guangling, walking quickly towards the Worship Hall.

Upon witnessing this scene...

Bibi Dong understood what was going on after a little thought.

After all, the Message Bai Wanwan's disappearance and unknown fate had caused quite a stir not long ago, and there were even rumors that Bai Wanwan had died.

As Bai Wanwan's Teacher and grandfather, Golden Crocodile and Guangling left Spirit City together shortly after Qian Renxue's return to search for Bai Wanwan's whereabouts.

Now that they know Bai Wanwan has returned safely, it's perfectly normal for Golden Crocodile and Guangling to rush back to Spirit City.

As Golden Crocodile and Guangling passed by Bibi Dong, they briefly greeted Bibi Dong before heading towards the Worship Hall.

But while passing by the Worship Hall.

The figures of Golden Crocodile and Guangling involuntarily stopped, their gazes turning towards the pavilion in the center of the garden.

Bibi Dong, who was walking at a leisurely pace, also glanced at the pavilion.

Two figures were seen in the pavilion. Bai Wanwan, dressed in a blue Gothic dress, was straddling Qian Renxue, who was dressed in a long gold palace dress, and they were doing something.

The atmosphere fell silent instantly.

Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze and subtly took a step back.

"Second Worship, Fifth Elder, you've returned."

Bibi Dong's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the two people in the pavilion to hear.

"Hmm~"

"Just returned, Your His Holiness the Pope. What brings you here?"

Golden Crocodile glanced in Bibi Dong's direction, his tone calm, as if he hadn't seen anything upon arrival.

"There's something I need to discuss with the elders."

Bibi Dong walked back and glanced at the pavilion. She saw two people in the pavilion who had separated at some point and were now pretending to admire the flowers.
