Qian Daoliu and the six elders all looked at each other with an expression of disbelief. They glanced at Qian Renxue, who was smiling beside them, and then focused their attention on the figure that was gradually becoming clearer.
Ye Tianxing's figure gradually became clear. Unlike before, Ye Tianxing was now holding a baby in her arms, her big, bright eyes taking in the unfamiliar surroundings.
When the retainers, led by Qian Daoliu, saw who it was, they were first taken aback, then looked at Qian Renxue in disbelief. The latter could no longer hold back; she knew that when she and Ye Tianxing returned with the child, her grandfather and the other retainers would have the same expression.
The worshippers were utterly astonished. "You've only been together a short time, how come you already have a child? That's incredibly fast!"
The elders, led by Golden Crocodile Douluo, cautiously observed their elder brother Qian Daoliu's expression. They noticed that their elder brother was also slightly taken aback, before revealing a helpless smile.
With things having come to this point, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to accept the reality.
"Grandpa, how's this surprise?" Qian Renxue was eagerly anticipating Qian Daoliu's expression.
Qian Daoliu his head and smiled, then said to Qian Renxue, "You didn't even discuss such a big thing as pregnancy with us. What will your grandfather do if something happens in Heaven Dou City?"
Although Qian Daoliu spoke in a critical tone, his words revealed his concern.
"Grandpa, please don't blame Xiao Xue. During Xiao Xue's pregnancy, I handled all the affairs of Heaven Dou City. With me here, there won't be any accidents."
Ye Tianxing, carrying Qian Mingfeng, approached Qian Daoliu and the other respected teachers, shook Qian Mingfeng twice, and asked with a smile, "What should we call him?"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this; how could a baby less than a year old possibly speak!
"Grandpa... Grandpa!"
When Qian Mingfeng's childish voice rang out, everyone's faces were filled with shock, and they all subconsciously looked at Ye Tianxing. This kid is really amazing!
"My child with Xiao Xue could speak at three months old, and now I can have normal communication with him." Ye Tianxing's words were full of pride; his child with Qian Renxue was just that amazing!
Since losing his son Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu has only had his granddaughter Qian Renxue left. The Angel Clan has dwindled in number and its population has declined.
Ye Tianxing sent a letter saying that there would be a one-month break after the preliminary rounds, and he and Qian Renxue were going home to visit each other.
Qian Daoliu was also somewhat surprised at the time. He knew that with Qian Renxue's status, it would be impossible for her to leave Heaven Dou City easily. But when he thought of Ye Tianxing's methods, he believed that the two of them must have left a backup plan in Heaven Dou City.
Thus, Qian Daoliu also secretly hoped for his granddaughter's return.
Qian Daoliu never expected that his granddaughter and grandson-in-law would return, and bring along this little Qian Mingfeng! This was something Qian Daoliu hadn't anticipated.
Ye Tianxing's last return to the Spirit Hall was a year ago. In just one year, the two of them have already had a child. The speed is simply unbelievable.
After accepting the fact that he had a great-grandson, Qian Daoliu happily took Qian Mingfeng from Ye Tianxing's arms, his smile gentle and genuinely joyful.
To the point that he would one day hold his great-grandson, Qian Renxue was genuinely happy to see this.
"What was her reaction just now?" Qian Renxue leaned closer to Ye Tianxing and asked softly.
"She's so happy! What grandmother doesn't love her grandson?" Ye Tianxing and his son reached a father-son agreement, cleverly thwarting Qian Renxue's scheme to disgust Bibi Dong.
"Impossible!" Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, then looked at Ye Tianxing with a scrutinizing gaze. "Tell me! What did you do to Feng'er?"
"He's innocent and naive, how could a three-month-old baby possibly..."
"Huh? What's this?"
Mighty Lion Douluo picked up the things that had fallen from the soft cotton blanket that Qian Mingfeng was wrapped in.
" Heaven Dou City Beauty Album "
The worshippers all turned their gazes toward Ye Tianxing, their expressions quite subtle.
Without saying a word, Qian Renxue took out the Angel's Sword and began to "hunt down" Ye Tianxing in the Elder Hall.
The Elder Hall was filled with laughter and merriment, while the Pope's Palace was about to begin the trial of Yu Xiaogang.
"Hurry up! His Holiness the Pope extremely busy. It is already a great kindness of him to take the time to see you. For someone like you, who has been expelled from two great empires, to be able to come to the Spirit Hall is already a great kindness of him."
The disciples of the Spirit Hall urged Yu Xiaogang to hurry up. At that time, Yu Xiaogang was dragging his crippled leg, with a small wooden cart under his feet. The ashes on his face and his clothes had been changed to clean ones. Meeting Bibi Dong was an important matter. She had come from afar, so being clean was the most basic thing.
Yu Xiaogang, with a weathered face and his signature buzz cut, was dressed in all black and was gradually making his way to the Pope's Palace under the guidance of the Spirit Hall disciples.
Faced with the urging of the Spirit Hall disciples, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but get angry. "I have a past relationship with your His Holiness the Pope, so you better be polite to me. After all, I am the one she received."
Yu Xiaogang naively believed that with his eloquence and analysis of the situation in the Ye Clan, he could persuade Bibi Dong to keep him and cooperate with him in the annexation of the Ye Clan.
The Spirit Hall disciple sneered, "Your infamy is known throughout the entire continent. You've truly earned the reputation of being infamous for eternity. What kind of storm can a guy who can't even recognize his own worth stir up?"
Yu Xiaogang gritted her teeth, feeling resentful and unwilling.
"If it weren't for Ye Ping'an's actions, how could I, Yu Xiaogang, have fallen to this state? The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire no longer have a place for me. I, Yu Xiaogang, am destined to be infamous for eternity!"
Whenever Yu Xiaogang thought of this, he felt excruciating pain in his heart. He would be infamous for eternity! What virtue or ability did Yu Xiaogang possess?
Finally, Yu Xiaogang arrived at the Pope's Palace.
The magnificent Pope's Palace before her was exactly the same as Yu Xiaogang remembered. Looking back, she wondered if Bibi Dong was still the same person.
The Temple Knight coldly said, " His Holiness the Pope has ordered that Yu Xiaogang kneel and kowtow at every step of the way to the temple."
"What?!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, and then anger rose in his heart. "I have kowtowed every step of the way for more than sixty miles from the border of the Empire. Now that I have finally arrived at the Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace is right in front of me, and you still want me to kowtow every step of the way? Isn't that going too far!"
"Either kowtow or get out!" The Temple Knight stared straight ahead, giving Yu Xiaogang no chance to argue.
"You! You've gone too far!"
Yu Xiaogang trembled all over. Ever since she met Ye Ping'an, she had never had any good luck, and her tragic life was shrouded in another layer of gloom.
Having already kowtowed for the first sixty kilometers, having to kowtow again for the last ten meters is an insult to one's dignity. The Spirit Hall has never had a precedent of kowtowing to an audience; this is clearly Bibi Dong's way of putting him in a difficult position.
After a fierce internal struggle, Yu Xiaogang sighed softly.
"Okay! I'll kowtow! I'll kowtow..."
Yu Xiaogang was strong-willed all her life, finally chose to compromise with Bibi Dong. Without Bibi Dong's help, she would never have been a match for Ye Ping'an.
Click—
The long-sealed doors of the Pope's Palace slowly opened. Yu Xiaogang stared ahead, took a deep breath, kowtowed, placed her hands on the ground, and respectfully completed one kowtow, then repeated the process.
Bibi Dong sat on her throne, watching Yu Xiaogang kowtow and pay homage to her step by step, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She had known Yu Xiaogang for a long time and understood her character well. Yu Xiaogang was someone who was willing to leave her family for her own destiny, just to prove herself and declare war on fate.
It was this very jade-like Yu Xiaogang that attracted Bibi Dong, a young woman in the prime of her life.
Looking back, the Yu Xiaogang of the past is now dead.
Yu Xiaogang was utterly wicked in his attempt to harm Ye Ping'an. Bibi Dong shook her head at his actions, and he even risked retaliation from Tang Hao by brazenly revealing that Tang Hao was in Heaven Dou City.
Bibi Dong knew all too well that once Yu Xiaogang came to the Spirit Hall, she never knew what kind of trouble this so-called Grandmaster would cause.
Bibi Dong dismissed everyone in advance, leaving only the two of them in the vast Pope's Palace.
" Bibi Dong, it's been so long since we last met." Yu Xiaogang looked up at her with deep affection and moved eyes.
Bibi Dong was taken aback at first, but then realized that this guy had come to ask her for help in bringing down Ye Ping'an, and his wolfish ambitions were obvious.
Ye Ping'an's true identity is Ye Tianxing, his own son-in-law. It is somewhat plausible in the eyes of outsiders that his mother-in-law would help outsiders to bring down her son-in-law.
If Ye Tianxing is a member of the Spirit Hall, he has a bad relationship with him and has no connection with Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong might choose to cooperate with Yu Xiaogang to annex Ye Clan and strengthen herself.
But things are different now. Ye Tianxing is not the same as before. Ye Clan is at its zenith and its rapid development makes Bibi Dong somewhat envious.
Bibi Dong how envious Bibi Dong was, she couldn't be as happy as Qian Mingfeng calling her "Grandma." This was the most affectionate voice she had heard since she began to dislike Qian Renxue.
When children are at their most innocent, what bad intentions could they possibly have?
"How dare you call me Bibi Dong? Call me Your His Holiness the Pope," Bibi Dong said coldly.
"..."
Yu Xiaogang gritted her teeth. "Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope."
"You came to see me because of Ye Ping'an, right?" Bibi Dong cut to the chase and spoke directly to Yu Xiaogang.
"Yes!" Yu Xiaogang's face was full of resentment, her facial muscles contorted.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, the Spirit Hall is facing an unprecedented catastrophe!" Yu Xiaogang said, her voice louder and her words sharp.
Bibi Dong sneered, "A conspiracy theory?"
Tell me about it.
" Ye Ping'an, with the Seven Star Sword Martial Soul, became a Soul King with Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring at the age of fourteen. In the history of the Douluo Continent, many extraordinary talents have emerged at his age, but he is truly unique!"
Yu Xiaogang did not exaggerate, but was stating the facts.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Bibi Dong asked, somewhat impatiently.
"What I want to say is... I can help you take over Ye Clan and kill Ye Ping'an."
Yu Xiaogang, his face flushed with excitement and trembling, said, "In this way, I Yu Xiaogang, will have avenged my great grudge, and Your His Holiness the Pope can rest easy!"
