High-Level Meeting, a Different Bibi Dong

Good stuff?

Hu Liena glanced at it. The color was a little... strange. Could it be poisonous?

Thinking that Xu Yuan had just saved her life and probably would not harm her, she cautiously accepted it.

"What is this?"

"Immortal Happy Water."

Lying comfortably on the sofa, Xu Yuan picked up a cup of Happy Water and took a huge gulp, squinting happily.

"Burp~~ Not bad, not bad. Same old taste, same old formula!"

Seeing that Xu Yuan had drunk it and looked thoroughly refreshed, Hu Liena suspiciously raised her cup and took a small sip.

Feeling the sensation in her mouth, the confusion on her face deepened.

This texture...

She was not sure. She needed another taste.

Then...

In less than a minute, the half-kilo cup was completely empty.

Licking her moist red lips with her tongue, Hu Liena leaned forward slightly, her large eyes fixed on Xu Yuan and filled with amazement.

"How did you make this? It doesn't look like much, and the taste is kind of strange, but it's actually pretty good."

Xu Yuan merely smiled without saying a word.

Tasty, right?

Of course it was tasty!

How else was he supposed to make money if it did not taste good?

"It's late. Get some sleep."

Pushing the remaining cups in front of Hu Liena, Xu Yuan yawned and returned to his room.

After spending the evening together, Xu Yuan realized that Hu Liena was actually quite nice.

After all, she was beautiful and had a great figure. Though she was a bit love-struck, that was not really a flaw.

If you liked someone love-struck who liked somebody else, then you were in trouble.

But if a beautiful, well-built love-struck girl liked you, that was practically a blessing earned over several lifetimes.

As for how they were still too young for anything beyond friendship, Xu Yuan did not consider that a problem at all.

As the saying went, if you wanted to win a woman's breasts... no, if you wanted to win a woman's heart, you first had to win her stomach.

They were roommates now, after all. By the time she realized something was wrong, it would already be too late. Hehehe...

Like he always said, you had to grasp with both hands, and both hands had to be strong!

The next morning.

Xu Yuan had just finished breakfast and was about to head to class when a golden figure approached from the side and blocked his path.

Blinking twice, Xu Yuan knowingly asked, "Vice Dean, are you looking for me?"

Without answering, Yue Guan first looked him up and down several times. After finding nothing unusual, he still was not reassured and placed a hand on Xu Yuan's shoulder, carefully examining his body.

Only after confirming that Xu Yuan was truly fine did Yue Guan finally let out a long sigh and say helplessly, "Come on. We're going to Pope Mountain. The Pope wishes to see you."

Allowing Yue Guan to carry him along at high speed, Xu Yuan cautiously asked, "Is it about last night? Is Spirit Hall taking it that seriously?"

Yue Guan rolled his eyes irritably.

Two geniuses with top-tier talent had nearly died at Spirit Hall's headquarters. How could the higher-ups not take it seriously?

Bibi Dong had originally sent him out to carry out an extremely important mission.

Yet the moment the incident happened, he had been summoned straight back.

On the way, Yue Guan also gave Xu Yuan a few instructions. There would be quite a few important figures present this time, so he taught him what he should and should not say.

Xu Yuan had been brought back by Yue Guan, yet only two days had passed before something like this happened. Yue Guan was clearly furious!

Pope Council Hall.

By the time Yue Guan and Xu Yuan arrived, quite a few people were already present. Most of them, however, were waiting outside the hall.

Xu Yuan swept his gaze over them. Without exception, they were all Soul Masters of Red-Clad Bishop rank.

Passing through the solemn and imposing central doors, they entered a massive conference room of at least two or three hundred square meters.

Hu Liena was there as well, clearly having been brought over too.

In the middle of the conference room stood a huge O-shaped conference table. Quite a few people sat sparsely around it, and without exception, none of them were young.

At the head of the table, Bibi Dong sat upright in formal attire.

She wore the Pope's crown, her expression solemn and composed. Elegant, dignified, noble, and graceful, she looked like... no, she was a queen.

She was completely different from the woman Xu Yuan had seen in the study a few days ago.

After bringing Xu Yuan to stand beside Hu Liena, Yue Guan quietly stood next to them without moving.

"Everyone is here. Let's begin."

Bibi Dong lowered her eyelids slightly, then slammed her fair little hand down on the conference table with a bang that echoed through the room.

The force was so great that the entire table trembled slightly for several seconds.

"At Spirit Hall's main headquarters, in our Spirit City, such a vile incident actually happened last night!

"And when it happened, the Law Enforcement Hall and Punishment Hall noticed nothing. What the hell were you all doing?

"In Spirit City, the place with the tightest defenses in all of Spirit Hall, Evil Spirit Masters were actually able to sneak into the city and commit crimes. What the hell were the Hall Protection Knights guarding the city doing?

"At our own headquarters, in our own city, you actually let someone abduct our own genius disciples.

"I don't know what you people are thinking, but just hearing this news makes me ashamed!

"What Spirit Hall? What army of justice? What holy land of Soul Masters? It's all a joke, an utter disgrace!"

Bibi Dong berated the Spirit Hall higher-ups seated around the table for nearly half an hour.

She scolded every last one of them until their faces turned green.

The people from the Law Enforcement Hall and Punishment Hall in particular had faces as dark as the bottom of a pot. They were responsible for punishment, investigations, and law enforcement. With something like this happening, they bore responsibility for negligent oversight—and they were primarily responsible.

As for the other seated Red-Clad Bishops, Platinum Bishops, and elders, every one of them remained calm and steady as mountains.

The Law Enforcement Hall and Punishment Hall had always been under the control of Qian Daoliu, the elder of the Worship Hall.

It was no secret that Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were at odds. Moreover, right when the incident occurred, Yue Guan, who should have been by Xu Yuan's side, had been urgently sent out on a mission...

The meeting lasted a long time.

During it, Xu Yuan and Hu Liena were separately questioned about every detail of the incident. Then came the Evil Spirit Masters captured in the city during last night's lightning operation, as well as the people involved in the case.

Some observant people noticed that the vast majority of those so-called involved parties were Great Elder Qian Daoliu's people.

It was rather thought-provoking.

When the meeting finally ended, Bibi Dong delivered her conclusion. In light of this vile incident, the commander of the Palace Guard Knights was stripped of all duties; the master of the Law Enforcement Hall was demoted to deputy master and merged into the Punishment Hall; and the master of the Punishment Hall received an internal hall warning.

As for the vacant position of master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Elder Yue Guan would serve concurrently.

Without exception, all personnel involved in the case were sentenced to death.

The victims of this incident, Xu Yuan and Hu Liena, possessed outstanding talent and had demonstrated the wisdom and bravery expected of Spirit Hall's next generation of Soul Masters. Their performance had been exceptional.

Pope Bibi Dong greatly admired them and expressed her willingness to take the two of them as disciples under her wing and personally guide them.
