The Academy Teams Arrive
"Is this Tang Hao's Pope Token?" Lu Yuan murmured to himself as he took the token.
The Pope Token extremely powerful; those who possess it are honorary elders of the Spirit Hall, holding a position even higher than that of Platinum Bishop.
In the original novel, Yu Xiaogang used the Pope Token quite a bit to show off.
Besides those belonging to the Spirit Hall, four Pope Tokens were released to other entities.
Each of the Upper Three Sects has one, and the Pope Token in Yu Xiaogang's hand was given to him by Tang Hao.
Having the Pope Token grants virtually unimpeded access to the Spirit Hall. Apart from a few high-ranking members, everyone else in the Spirit Hall must bow to anyone holding the token.
Lu Yuan would naturally not leave such a thing to Yu Xiaogang. Now that Tang Hao was dead, it was time to take back this Pope Token.
For example, this time, without the Pope Token, Yu Xiaogang, a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, wouldn't have been able to enter the palace gates Papal Hall, let alone meet Pope Bibi Dong.
Do they really think the Pope is someone anyone can meet?
The Temple Knight don't care if Yu Xiaogang had any past relationship with the Pope. They are only loyal to the Pope and always follow the rules.
Even when Lu Yuan returned, he had to show his token, but he didn't need to announce his return.
Even Lu Yuan, the Holy Son, had to show his token, which shows how heavily Temple Knight were.
The Temple Knight Corps should be the most elite Soul Master Legion in the entire Douluo Continent.
Thinking about it this way, by taking back the Pope Token, Yu Xiaogang lost a protective umbrella, saving someone destined to be an enemy of the Spirit Hall from using the Spirit Hall's Pope Token to annoy others.
Most importantly, without the Pope Token, Yu Xiaogang will never have the chance to see Bibi Dong again.
Although Bibi Dong verbally promised Lu Yuan that she would forget Yu Xiaogang, this woman is very persistent in her feelings, and she may not actually be able to do it. Lu Yuan will need to persuade her further.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang is now a eunuch, which is wonderful. He doesn't believe that Bibi Dong would still be attached to a eunuch.
Given enough time, he was confident he could persuade Bibi Dong to forget Yu Xiaogang.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that Ma Xiaotao's action of roasting the chicken was absolutely correct; it eliminated the biggest potential problem in one fell swoop.
This is far more meaningful than losing a hand or a foot.
Thinking about it, Lu Yuan put away the Pope Token, stood up and stretched. Come to think of it, it's really quite boring to be here alone. I might as well go to the Angel Secret Realm to see Xue'er, so that the girl won't be all alone on the Nine-Layered Heavenly Stairs.
With the finals approaching, and many academy teams still on their way, he can spare some time to spend with Qian Renxue.
Ma Xiaotao was sent by Lu Yuan to absorb the Blazing Golden Lotus, while he himself headed towards the Angel Secret Realm.
One week later!
"Teacher, shouldn't those academy teams be arriving soon?" In a side hall of the Papal Hall, Lu Yuan leaned on his desk, watching Bibi Dong review documents, and asked softly.
"It'll be here soon, it should arrive tomorrow. What, are you missing Zhu Zhuqing?" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Bibi Dong paused slightly as she reviewed the documents, and asked with a light laugh.
"A little. It's been more than three months since we parted, and I do miss her a bit," Lu Yuan said.
"You really are a womanizer," Bibi Dong shook her head, sighed helplessly, and said.
This guy spends his days with Xue'er, his nights with Nana, and still has the time to think about Zhu Zhuqing. He's got quite a big heart, and he's really quite the romantic.
"So what if I'm a womanizer? At least I take responsibility. I'm not the kind of person who flirts and then abandons you." Lu Yuan retorted immediately upon hearing this.
"Isn't taking responsibility the most basic thing? If you really flirt with someone and then abandon them, be careful with your manhood down there." Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes glanced at him slightly, causing Lu Yuan's body to tremble involuntarily, and a chill ran through his heart.
As expected of Bibi Dong, she's ruthless!
We can't afford to mess with them! We can't afford to mess with them!
Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Bibi Dong couldn't help but smile slightly. This guy had flirted with her disciple and even abducted her daughter. If he dared to shirk responsibility, he'd be in for a world of hurt.
He may be a bit of a womanizer, but he has no shortage of responsibility. He takes on all the responsibilities he should. After all, a man should have some sense of responsibility.
Moreover, this guy treats them very well and loves them very much, which makes Bibi Dong quite gratified.
Most importantly, this brat is really good to her. Thinking of this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but show a tender look in her eyes.
"By the way, teacher, are all the academies provided with accommodations?" Lu Yuan asked, taking Bibi Dong's hand and looking her over.
"Yes, it's all arranged by the group. But if you don't like living with other colleges, you can arrange to stay in a hotel yourself," Bibi Dong said softly.
"Yes, that's for sure. I think the best hotel in Spirit City is the Holy Light Hotel. I'll just book an entire floor of it then," Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"You squander your money as soon as you have it," Bibi Dong said reproachfully, giving Lu Yuan a slight glare.
"Hehe, I'm not just rich now, I'm quite rich. I'll use it as I please. I'm rich and I can do whatever I want," Lu Yuan laughed.
This is no exaggeration. With the income from the Dragon King Hall, Lu Yuan is indeed quite wealthy. Although he can't compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, his annual income is much higher than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Moreover, within the Heaven Dou Empire, the Dragon King Hall is exempt from paying taxes, which saves a huge amount of money.
With his wallet feeling heavy, Lu Yuan naturally became more concerned about the small amount of money he had spent on booking the hotel.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly, but didn't say anything more. Indeed, her disciple was not short of money now. She had only said that, and given the wealth and power of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong wouldn't really care about the small amount of money spent on booking a hotel.
"Alright, let go of the teacher's hand. The teacher still needs to review documents." With her jade hand held by Lu Yuan, Bibi Dong was unable to continue reviewing documents.
"No, teacher, your hand feels so comfortable. I want to hold it a little longer," Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you." Bibi Dong sighed, put down the pen in her other hand, turned slightly, and looked at Lu Yuan's handsome and three-dimensional features. For a moment, she couldn't help but be a little lost in thought.
She had to admit that her disciple's looks were incredibly attractive to women.
As she watched, Bibi Dong raised her right hand and gently brushed a slightly messy strand of hair from Lu Yuan's forehead to the side.
