Master and Disciple's Secret Conversation, Bibi Dong's Private Tutoring

Master and Disciple in Secret, Bibi Dong's Special Guidance

Elsewhere.

In Bibi Dong's small courtyard.

Although more than an hour had passed.

The suffocating sensation of nearly losing her life still left Hu Liena lingering in fear.

She stood there in a daze for over an hour before she could recover even a little bit.

Bibi Dong sat back down on the stone bench, her expression as gloomy as water.

The renewed dominance of Qian Renyu and the way Qian Daoliu had stood by him regardless of the cost had completely ignited the gunpowder deep within her heart.

Seeing her teacher in such a state, Hu Liena hurriedly stood before Bibi Dong to apologize:

"Teacher, I'm sorry. This time, I have caused you trouble."

"The disciple thought I could use this method to regain some face for you, but the new Pope doesn't play by the rules at all!"

Hu Liena was incredibly restrained.

Throughout her past, she had always held the winning hand.

Having stumbled this time, and nearly causing a real, full-scale war between Bibi Dong and Qian Renyu, she was shaken.

To say she wasn't panicked at all would be a complete lie.

Bibi Dong regained her composure and looked at Hu Liena's apologetic face: "Come and sit down. Since the matter has already happened, there is no need for regret!"

"It just so happens that this incident can allow your character to grow to a certain extent. Not everyone can be successfully manipulated so easily!"

"At least he is not the type of person who can be manipulated!"

Listening to Bibi Dong's lecture, Hu Liena understood that Bibi Dong was guiding her, and her emotions were incredibly complex.

She listened obediently, though a sense of unwillingness welled up in her heart.

Bibi Dong saw all of Hu Liena's reactions and spoke again: "If you feel unwilling, then you must learn to control your emotions. The spirit master world is a place where strength always speaks the loudest!"

"If I didn't have enough strength today, no one would have been able to save your life! If you want to wash away this humiliation, then work hard to improve your strength and bring out the abilities that will make people truly respect and fear you!"

Hu Liena's eyes widened, realizing the deeper meaning in Bibi Dong's words, and she was slightly incredulous: "Teacher, do you mean that you want me to still give my all in the Spirit Master Tournament?"

Bibi Dong gave a hum: "That's right. Prepare for the Spirit Master Tournament exactly as you should, even if you cannot obtain any honors at this moment."

"But you only need to remember that whether or not you possess these honors is not up to Qian Renyu alone. When you truly secure the overall championship, and when I sit back in that position."

"If I want to promote you, no one will have a word to say. But without these honors, even if I am willing to promote you, others will not be convinced!"

Hu Liena remained silent.

She thought carefully about what Bibi Dong had said.

Before these words from Bibi Dong, Hu Liena had considered treating the Spirit Master Tournament casually.

As long as she could make Qian Renyu lose face in the end, it would be a great benefit to Bibi Dong.

However, the incident just now had dispelled those thoughts. The fact that a generation's Pope like Qian Renyu would even consider stepping into the competition himself meant the outcome was no longer something she could dictate.

Now...

With this guidance from Bibi Dong, Hu Liena felt as if she finally understood.

"Teacher, I understand. You mean that I should do what I must. As long as I can lead the team to the championship, he will have no reason to step in!"

"And by then, although I may not receive the official honors, it will still be a fact that I led the team to victory! I understand your deep intentions, Teacher. I will definitely give my all in the upcoming Spirit Master Tournament, and I will prove my worth!"

"If I can help you in this way, Teacher, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Hu Liena's tone was firm.

Her chaotic heart suddenly became incredibly resolute.

The Spirit Master Tournament championship—she, Hu Liena, would definitely take it!!

Seeing Hu Liena recover, Bibi Dong did not continue to speak, her cold, sharp eyes flickering with intense hatred.

Deep in her mind, everything that had happened in recent days surfaced once again.

Feeling Hu Liena's genuine desire to help her, and comparing it to Qian Renyu's actions over these days, along with Qian Daoliu's aggressive support for him.

A warm current rippled silently through her heart.

"The rest depends on Nana's performance in the finals. Taking Nana as my personal disciple was a correct decision after all!"

"One personal disciple, one biological child—in the end, it is the personal disciple who cares for me more!"

"As long as Nana can secure the final championship, that will be the time for me to settle all scores!"

Bibi Dong mused to herself.

Absolute hatred had already caused her to selectively forget many things.

Bibi Dong knew full well why Qian Renyu treated her this way; she simply did not want to face the reality.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, the hatred in her gaze no longer hidden in the slightest.

At the same time, a sharp glint flickered through her pupils.

"It seems there is another turn of events. Since Nana has ultimately secured the championship, that group from Shrek Academy will certainly be unable to protect this woman, Liu Erlong!"

"It would be perfect to let this fellow Qian Renyu eliminate Liu Erlong, while also forcing Qian Renyu and the Shrek group into complete opposition."

"Given his personality, he certainly won't be soft-hearted, and his focus will surely be on Tang San, but Tang San is not someone so easily killed!"

"As long as he pours most of his attention into Tang San, I can take advantage of this period to complete more of my God Trial."

"Once the God Trial is complete, I will no longer need to hide my strength!"

At this thought, a trace of excitement appeared on Bibi Dong.

Having endured for over a decade, and continuing to endure even now, Bibi Dong knew very well that she could afford to wait.

She had endured for so many years in the past, and the Spirit Master Tournament would not last much longer; continuing to hold back for this short duration was an entirely easy task.

As long as she pushed all of this forward, the final advantage—

Would still remain in her hands!

Bibi Dong exhaled a heavy breath of stale air.

She suppressed all these thoughts and reined in her excitement.

Slowly standing up straight from the stone bench, her tall figure stood before Hu Liena.

A Soul Bone was retrieved from her Soul Tool.

"Nana, this is a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone that your teacher bestows upon you!"

"The grand finals do not begin for another three days; go and absorb this Soul Bone to further increase your strength."

"In the grand finals, do not let your teacher down!"

Hu Liena was slightly stunned, but after a moment of hesitation, she took the Soul Bone into her own Soul Tool.

The expression on her face became much more determined.

"Teacher, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

"The championship, I will definitely secure it!"
