An Unexpected Turn

The atmosphere Pope Palace was subtle.

Qian Renxue sat upright on the throne, her gaze fixed on Fu Shiyan, and continued:

"At that time, representatives from all the major sects will come to discuss this matter together."

"In recent years, it has been rumored that the Douluo Continent is now composed of one palace, one imperial palace, two empires, three upper sects, four lower sects, and seven sects."

She paused, looked at Fu Shiyan, and continued:

"As the dean of the Beichen Academy, Dean Fu is naturally among those invited."

"Furthermore, I hope that the Beichen Academy can participate in this re-election of the Seven Great Sects together with the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Fu Shiyan's eyes, and after a moment she nodded and said:

"Okay. I'll attend."

Qian Renxue looked at him, hesitant to speak.

She really wanted to ask him how he had been all these years, whether he had...

But she knew now was not the time.

She suppressed her emotions and continued:

"The specific date is set for the fifteenth of next month. The location is Spirit City."

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly and replied:

"Knew."

Qian Renxue felt quite uncomfortable seeing Fu Shiyan's distant attitude towards her.

But she knew that she had never met Fu Shiyan in her true form, so he was only showing the attitude he would have shown to the Pope of the Spirit Hall, not the attitude he would have shown to her...

Even though she understood all this, she still felt uncomfortable.

Fu Shiyan looked at Qian Renxue biting her lip, her expression seemingly changing, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

He stood up and said:

"Your His Holiness the Pope, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Qian Renxue suddenly snapped out of her tangled thoughts and quickly said:

"Etc!"

Fu Shiyan stopped and turned to look at her.

Qian Renxue's expression was complex. After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked:

"Dean Fu, have you had any strange dreams over the years?"

Fu Shiyan gave her a strange look, shook his head, and said in a flat tone:

"I have never had any strange dreams. I wonder what His Holiness the Pope is referring to?"

A flicker of disappointment crossed Qian Renxue's eyes, and she shook her head bitterly.

"N-nothing..."

Fu Shiyan looked at her with feigned confusion, then nodded and said:

"Since Your His Holiness the Pope has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

He turned and walked towards the palace gate.

Qian Renxue watched his retreating figure, her heart churning with emotion.

She suddenly stood up, strode forward, grabbed Fu Shiyan's wrist, and said urgently:

"Etc!"

In that very instant--

A silver ball of light suddenly appeared between Qian Renxue's brows and shot straight at Fu Shiyan!

The ball of light emitted a soft and profound glow, like a silver star, and entered Fu Shiyan's brow.

Everything around them froze at that moment.

From the outside, one would see that Chrysanthemum Douluo Pope Palace and all the Spirit Hall personnel were frozen in place, and even birds in the air were forbidden in this area!

After the silver light entered Fu Shiyan's brow, the area where Fu Shiyan and Qian Renxue were located was enveloped by a barely perceptible silver light.

At this moment, the two people in the light and shadow seemed to have all their senses and consciousness detached from their bodies and entered into a dramatic and turbulent scene!

When the two regained consciousness, they found themselves in a special space high in the heavens.

Its exterior is a huge, colorful sphere, and the clouds inside are ever-changing, shimmering and beautiful.

They were in this special space, outside a palace.

It is the Divine Realm!

Qian Renxue looked around in a panic at first, but her heart gradually calmed down after seeing Fu Shiyan beside her.

A sweet smile even appeared on her lips.

He's still alive.

However, she did not notice that Fu Shiyan's expression was unusually calm at this moment.

Qian Renxue realized her expression was somewhat off, coughed twice to regain her composure, and asked Fu Shiyan:

"Dean Fu, where is this?"

Fu Shiyan turned to look at her, her brows furrowed slightly:

"Your His Holiness the Pope, shouldn't I be the one asking this question? What exactly did you do? How did we suddenly end up here?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback by Fu Shiyan's barrage of questions.

Yes, they were in the Spirit Hall one second, and here they are the next.

Moreover, she vaguely remembered that a silver ball of light appeared from between her eyebrows and entered between Fu Shiyan's eyebrows. Then she lost consciousness, and when she opened her eyes again, she was here.

[Could it be...?]

She remembered that the silver ball of light was left to her by Fu Shiyan from her previous life two years ago, saying that it was to be given to Fu Shiyan in this life.

[Could it be because...?]

She glanced at Fu Shiyan with a complicated expression, then quickly looked away.

Just then, a beautiful figure walked out of the palace gate.

The moment they saw that figure, both Fu Shiyan and Qian Renxue's eyes widened!

It was an extremely beautiful figure, with skin as white as paper, long golden hair cascading down her back, and a divine outfit woven with gold and silver that made her even more noble.

And that figure's face was exactly the same as Qian Renxue's!

Fu Shiyan glanced at the figure that had appeared in surprise, then turned to look at Qian Renxue with wide eyes, and asked in confusion:

"Your His Holiness the Pope, what is this?"

Before Qian Renxue could speak, another purple streak of light arrived at the palace entrance in an instant and materialized.

After that figure appeared, the woman who looked exactly like Qian Renxue immediately threw herself into his arms and said softly:

"You've come, A-Yan."

Upon seeing the figure's face, Fu Shiyan's eyes widened in surprise.

After seeing the figure's face, Qian Renxue looked at him thoughtfully.

Fu Shiyan frowned in confusion, then headed straight for the figure.

Not far from that figure, Fu Shiyan stopped and asked in a cold voice:

"Who are you? And why are you impersonating me and His Holiness the Pope?"

Seeing this, Qian Renxue hurriedly tried to stop them. But the two figures seemed not to have heard Fu Shiyan's words or seen him, still immersed in the atmosphere between the two.

Upon seeing this, Fu Shiyan frowned and was about to step forward.

Qian Renxue quickly grabbed him and said urgently:

"Dean Fu, wait! Haven't you noticed? They can't see us at all!"

Fu Shiyan looked at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression:

"Can't you see it?"

Qian Renxue seemed to want to confirm her suspicions, so she released Fu Shiyan, took a deep breath, strode forward, and walked directly between the two of them.

Qian Renxue was overjoyed when she realized there was no resistance.

Turning my head, I saw that the two figures were still embracing, without any reaction.

[Really!]

[This must be a scene from a past life!]
