Feigned Evasion, Bibi Dong's Concern

Ju Douluo bent down, reached out, and placed a hand on Ye Tian's shoulder.

His gaze burned.

"Then, Xiao Tian, could you tell me in detail about the theory you discovered?"

Ju Douluo's tone was formal.

There was even an unusual degree of respect in his words and manner.

Ye Tian was practically bursting with joy inside!

Of course, he could not get carried away on the surface. He also had to keep dangling the bait.

Only by making Ju Douluo unbearably curious and convinced from the bottom of his heart that it was worthwhile could Ye Tian make this exchange of knowledge seem natural.

In exchange for Ju Douluo's knowledge of medicinal herbs.

Not just Immortal Herbs.

After all, Ye Tian's understanding of this world's herbs was still rather lacking.

He needed to study properly.

Then, when he had the chance in the future, he could try Pill Refining.

Perhaps he could bring this world a small shock in the form of Pills.

"Of course, no problem."

Ye Tian withdrew from his thoughts and nodded with an honest, simple expression. Yet a trace of apology appeared on his face, and his reason was perfectly reasonable.

"But my teacher and I still need to meet the Pope. We can only wait until Elder Ju is free next time."

"..."

Ju Douluo was stunned for a moment before remembering that they had already arrived at the hall gate of the Pope's Palace. He had not even completed his task yet.

He could only suppress his restless curiosity.

"Then we'll wait until next time."

"No problem. This Junior is free at any time and will await Your Excellency."

Ye Tian agreed neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"This stinky brat."

Bibi Dong pursed her lips in annoyance.

Looking at Ye Tian, she truly wanted to walk over and kick him hard in the backside.

She was finding this Disciple increasingly impossible to see through.

As an outsider.

How could Bibi Dong fail to see that Ye Tian was playing Feigned Evasion?

He was clearly dangling Moon Pass on purpose.

He was utterly audacious!

"Teacher, let's go quickly. I want to get back and take a bath early."

While Bibi Dong was lost in thought.

Ye Tian had already reached an understanding with Ju Douluo and was urging her onward.

"..."

Bibi Dong said nothing and continued walking forward.

As she watched Ye Tian's back.

Which version of him was the real one?

Afraid of death, greedy for money, quick-witted, resourceful, composed, bold, worldly, cunning.

Bibi Dong could not tell. She simply could not tell at all.

If Ye Tian knew what Bibi Dong was thinking, he would certainly give her an answer.

People were complicated.

These traits did not actually conflict with one another.

At last.

Just as they were about to step into the Pope's Palace.

Ye Tian slowly slowed his pace and followed closely behind Bibi Dong.

The sun outside was blazing, yet the hall was refreshingly cool.

The many doubts in Bibi Dong's heart also vanished within that faint sacred aura that made her nauseous. Only coldness remained on her face.

It made even Ye Tian shudder.

The main hall of the Pope's Palace.

It was extremely spacious, with only several thick pillars stretching straight to the dome.

Directly opposite the hall gate.

There were layer upon layer of low stairs. Ye Tian quickly counted them out of boredom.

There were ninety-nine in total.

Above them, at what could be considered the hundredth level, stood a throne.

Ye Tian guessed that it might symbolize Hundred Level Godhood. However, whoever sat upon that throne at the top of the hundred stairs seemed destined to die young.

It was none other than the man Bibi Dong currently hated most and wished most to kill—

Pope Qian Xunji!

Below those hundred stairs stood a figure entirely shrouded in a black robe.

Ju Douluo's best partner, Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei.

"Your Majesty, the Saintess and Ye Tian have been brought here."

Ju Douluo respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Teacher."

Though Bibi Dong was unwilling in countless ways, she had no choice but to act with utmost respect.

She had to keep up the surface work.

Only then could she find an opportunity for revenge!

Naturally, Ye Tian would not fail to read the situation at a time like this.

He followed behind and bowed as well.

"Ye Tian greets Your Majesty the Pope."

On the high platform, Qian Xunji's eyes were hidden in shadow.

His expression seemed somewhat gloomy.

Yet the smile on his face was especially gentle.

"Dong'er, Ye Tian, rise. Moon Pass and Gui Mei, you may withdraw first."

"Yes!"

Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo turned and left one after the other.

The Pope's Palace became silent.

Ye Tian curiously watched Qian Xunji slowly rise from the high platform, unable to understand why he had summoned Bibi Dong and him.

Was it because of the Whale Rubber?

Ye Tian thought of this possibility.

Bibi Dong was more direct. She immediately asked, her voice devoid of even the slightest excess emotion.

"Teacher, why did you summon us?"

"Haha."

"It's not anything major."

With his hands behind his back, Qian Xunji strolled down from the high platform as though taking a leisurely walk.

"This Seat merely heard that Dong'er took Ye Tian Soul Hunting and was curious what kind of Soul Ring you found for This Seat's Grand Disciple."

Qian Xunji's words made Bibi Dong Frown.

Was it for Ye Tian?

Qian Xunji's attention toward Ye Tian gave Bibi Dong an unusual sense of crisis.

This was her Disciple.

She would absolutely not hand him over to someone else!

Qian Xunji also knew of Bibi Dong's disgust toward him and did not make himself unwelcome.

He walked straight up to Ye Tian.

His somewhat burly frame, coupled with the authority of someone who had long held a high position, immediately made Ye Tian uncomfortable. He felt a strong sense of oppression.

Yet Ye Tian was not flustered.

Since Qian Xunji had mentioned the Soul Ring, he was likely here to verify something.

To verify whether he had truly obtained a Millennium Spirit Ring.

So that Qian Renxue could absorb hers without worry.

"Your Majesty."

Ye Tian called out to Qian Xunji before him.

Qian Xunji gave a slight nod and said softly:

"There is no need to be nervous. Let This Seat see your First Spirit Ring. You are a Support System genius of our Spirit Hall."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ye Tian nodded and obediently extended his right hand.

Dense white mist rapidly condensed into a Pill in his palm. A purple Soul Ring burst forth as though it had been flung out by the Flawless Embryonic Pill.

Ye Tian's cultivation level was also revealed at a glance.

At this sight.

A sharp gleam flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes as he inwardly thought, As expected!

The delight on his face could not be concealed at all.

He immediately burst into laughter.

"Haha, good! Good!"

"As expected of the unprecedented Innate Full Soul Power Food System. Only a few days after awakening his martial soul, he absorbed a Millennium Spirit Ring and became a level 14 Spirit Master."

"He should be greatly rewarded, greatly rewarded!"

"And Dong'er, as his teacher, you have contributed to Ye Tian's training and should also receive a great reward!"

A great reward?!

Upon hearing there would be a reward, Ye Tian could not care about anything else. Even his eyes became clear.

But Bibi Dong shook her head.

At this moment.

How could she not understand?

Qian Xunji had known long ago that Ye Tian could absorb a Millennium Spirit Ring. He was merely confirming the result now. Otherwise, he would not merely be happy—he would be shocked.

Even so.

Bibi Dong remained vigilant. Her Disciple absolutely could not become entangled with this scum!

"Teacher, there is no need to reward me. In only a few days, I did not have the ability to train Ye Tian to this extent. It is all his own merit."

"Teacher, Teacher."

As Bibi Dong spoke, Ye Tian kept giving her meaningful looks.

They seemed to say.

You can give me the reward you don't want!

Wishing everyone a happy life!
