"Now that the tournament is over, you should return to Spirit Hall as well!"
Inside Pope Palace, Bibi Dong looked calmly at Long Jie and parted her red lips. "But Spirit Hall is not where you belong. You shouldn't stay here forever!"
Long Jie froze. "Then, Teacher, where should I go?"
"Slaughter City, the Northern Icefield, Sea God Island! Go anywhere you want, just don't stay here!" Bibi Dong spoke as though she truly did not want Long Jie to remain here.
Hearing this, Long Jie fell silent. He did not dare look at Bibi Dong and only spoke softly. "Teacher, I thought you would let me stay here and train me. I still wanted to serve you!"
"With your strength and talent, you don't need my guidance. Besides..." Bibi Dong gave Long Jie a complicated look. "When you reach the limit one day, I will naturally be by your side!"
By my side...
Long Jie did not quite understand those words, but he knew Bibi Dong would not lie to him. Maybe I really can't stay here?
"Then..."
"Go to Slaughter City, with Na'er!"
Bibi Dong said, "She is your Senior Sister. If you can, take care of her!"
"Huh?" Long Jie looked utterly bewildered. She was his Senior Sister—shouldn't she be the one taking care of him?
Long Jie did not quite understand Bibi Dong's train of thought, but since she had said it, he could not refuse. "Yes, I understand!"
"Mhm, you may leave!"
"Yes!"
After leaving Pope Palace, Long Jie looked completely lost.
Bibi Dong had acted very naturally, keeping him at arm's length as though she were terrified he might take advantage of his teacher.
But was Jie Ge that kind of person? How could he possibly do something like that?
Long Jie felt helpless.
