Hu Liena's mysterious confidence: I have an irreplaceable status!

Yue Guan's expression shifted wildly.

On the way here, he had already found it difficult to convey the decree.

Now, hearing Hu Liena's reply, the complex look on his face grew even more pronounced than before.

Unsure of how to proceed, he cast a glance at Bibi Dong, only to see that her expression was equally surprised; it did not look like she had arranged for Hu Liena to act this way in advance.

He couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

"Nana, don't make things difficult for me!"

"His Holiness arranged for you to have an audience; it is simply inappropriate for you to refuse to go."

"Furthermore, you are a member of our Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation. You haven't visited since His Holiness took office, so don't be so headstrong!"

Hu Liena's expression remained unchanged.

She ignored Yue Guan's complex look.

She straightened her bowing posture.

"Grandpa Yue Guan, it is very difficult for a soul master to have an epiphany during cultivation!"

"Now that I have finally encountered such an epiphany, I do not want to miss this opportunity!"

"And as you said, Grandpa Yue Guan, I am part of the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation, and I have things I must accomplish as well!"

"Besides, I have already heard about what happened at the city gate earlier. As a main force of our Martial Soul Academy Team,"

"At a time like this, no matter how you look at it, I should prioritize improving my strength so that I can preserve the dignity of our Martial Soul Hall!"

"If I miss this opportunity, I fear it will be difficult to make progress in the future!"

Every word was resonant and forceful.

Hu Liena spoke these words without being servile or overbearing.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see she was talking nonsense, yet they couldn't find much fault in her logic.

Was Hu Liena being arrogant?

Hu Liena was indeed being a bit arrogant at this moment, but her reasoning was truly impeccable.

An opportunity for an epiphany was crucial for any soul master; giving it up lightly was certainly not a wise move.

Yue Guan understood what Hu Liena was planning.

He wanted to continue arguing about this, but after a moment of thought, he found he couldn't come up with a suitable rebuttal.

Forcing Hu Liena to give up an 'epiphany' was undoubtedly cutting off her path as a genius.

Furthermore, Hu Liena had proactively mentioned that she was a current main force of the Martial Soul Academy Team.

Such words completely dispelled his desire to continue the conversation.

With such an excuse brought to the table, Yue Guan felt he had no way to make any arbitrary decisions on this matter.

"Fine, since you've said so, Nana, I will report back as such!"

"However, Nana, never be this headstrong in the future. I hope you know what you are doing!"

Yue Guan sighed softly, giving up on trying to persuade Hu Liena further.

With Bibi Dong present, he lacked the ability to forcibly take Hu Liena away.

Without lingering any longer, Yue Guan left the scene cleanly and decisively, leaving only Hu Liena and Bibi Dong in the small courtyard.

Bibi Dong's brow furrowed deeply. After watching Yue Guan depart, she finally turned her gaze toward Hu Liena.

"Nana, have you forgotten what I just told you?"

"I said, do not get involved in my affairs. There are some things I can do, but you cannot!"

Bibi Dong's voice was much sterner.

Yue Guan could see that Hu Liena was making excuses, and naturally, she could see it too.

The so-called 'epiphany' simply did not exist!

Hu Liena's expression remained unchanged as she said firmly, "Teacher, I just want to help you settle the score."

"I understand your concerns, Teacher, but before I gave these answers, I had already considered them. I have the ability to get involved in these matters under certain circumstances!"

At this point, the expression on Hu Liena's face became much more resolute.

At the same time, a rich sense of confidence emerged on her face.

Bibi Dong realized belatedly that her disciple seemed to have much more confidence than usual.

Seeing Bibi Dong's confusion, Hu Liena immediately explained:

"Teacher, just as I said earlier, I am now a main force of our Martial Soul Academy Team!"

"Regarding what happened at the city gate, that person said he wouldn't let Shrek Academy take the championship, so he must be pinning his hopes on our Martial Soul Academy Team."

"Therefore, at this special time, I still have a great role to play. I have an irreplaceable status!"

"Furthermore, my reasoning is completely sound; I am single-mindedly focused on increasing my strength, and I want to stun everyone at the Spirit Master Tournament finals!"

"Even if he knows I am lying, he won't have a valid reason to take action against me!"

Bibi Dong was left speechless. Listening to these explanations from Hu Liena, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Using these reasons as a basis for certainty was not going to make Qian Renyu back down easily!

Hu Liena continued, "Teacher, please rest assured. Regardless of the final outcome, it will certainly be a good thing for you."

"He has staked the reputation of our Martial Soul Hall on this event. If he takes action against me just because I didn't go to pay my respects, our Martial Soul Academy Team certainly won't be able to win the championship easily, and his reputation will be ruined as a result!"

"When that time comes, you can rightfully reclaim your position, and he will have nothing to say!"

Pausing for a moment, Hu Liena continued:

"If he doesn't take action against me, then today's events will surely cause the many elders within our Martial Soul Hall to doubt him."

"At that point, you can also seize this opportunity; with just a little maneuvering, you will still be able to take back your position!"

"This time, Teacher, you only need to sit back and reap the rewards!"

Hu Liena spoke these words with full confidence.

She was certain that these ideas of hers would cause no harm to Bibi Dong.

Her body trembled slightly with excitement.

Bibi Dong's gaze was profound. She looked at Hu Liena's incredibly confident appearance, then looked toward the direction where Yue Guan had departed.

In her mind, various events from the past involuntarily surfaced.

There was the day Qian Renyu forcefully usurped the throne in the Pope's Palace, and the time when Qian Renyu was still young, back when she had finally dispatched Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out her mission.

Although more than a decade had passed, Bibi Dong could not forget the cold, heartless eyes Qian Renyu had possessed that day.

Combined with what had happened over half a month ago, Bibi Dong was even more certain of what kind of personality Qian Renyu truly had.

Cold-blooded and heartless—that was the true portrait of Qian Renyu.

Even with the factor of blood relation between herself and Qian Renyu, he had still been so unscrupulous.

Without the bond of blood, and with only a superior-subordinate relationship, Bibi Dong could imagine exactly what Qian Renyu would be like.

Nana, this time—

You've made a huge mess of things!!
