Nan Feng quietly looked at Bibi Dong's uncertain face. He did not speak to urge him, nor did he defend himself.
He knows this woman too well.
This is not only a power knot, but also an emotional knot.
In the eyes of Qian Renxue, she is proving herself to her mother, striving for recognition, and working hard for her future.
But in the eyes of Bibi Dong, this is not an inspirational "daughter should strive for self-improvement" at all.
Standing in front of her was not only Qian Renxue, but also the shadow of Qian Xunji, the continuation of the Angel Family that made her so sick.
Qian Renxue has that man's blood flowing in her body. She is Angel Family's young master and the hope that Qian Daoliu holds in his hands.
This is the reason why Bibi Dong feels awkward and even painful towards Qian Renxue.
As a mother, when she looks at that innocent child, she may have a trace of extremely suppressed guilt in her heart, wanting to compensate her and love her.
But once I think about Qian Renxue's identity, I think that she is the daughter of the man who tainted her, and I think that she is the heir of the family that ruined her life.
That guilt will instantly turn into overwhelming anger and physical nausea.
These two completely opposite emotions were tearing apart in her body, making it impossible for her to face Qian Renxue normally.
But now, Qian Renxue actually wants to get his hands on the power, and even wants to use the power of the Worship Hall to seize Heaven Dou Empire.
From Bibi Dong's point of view, the nature of this has completely changed.
This is not her daughter striving for progress, but Angel Family, whom she hates so much, trying to use this child to take back the power that finally fell into her hands with profit!
This is the bottom line that Bibi Dong absolutely cannot tolerate.
A few days later, Elder Hall.
Since the "Square Trial" that shocked the whole city, this is the first time Grand Pontiff Qian Daoliu has stepped out of the Worship Hall, and it is also the first time Elder Hall has taken the initiative to convene a Elder Hall meeting.
At one end of the long table, Qian Daoliu was sitting there quietly in a simple gray robe, while Qian Renxue was standing beside him.
At the other end of the long table, Bibi Dong wore a crown on his head and held a scepter in his hand, looking at the grandfather and grandson with a cold expression.
On both sides, Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, Pufferfish, Snake Lance, and even Yue Guan and Gui Mei, all sat upright, looking at their noses and their hearts, not even daring to take a breath.
This is not only a confrontation between Pope and Grand Pontiff, but also a game between the two generations of the Spirit Hall.
In this kind of situation where gods are fighting, whoever dares to interrupt will be deemed as having a long life.
As for Tang Xiao, he has gone back to the Clear Sky Sect to handle his own affairs.
"I have read what Pope proposed before about the penetration plan against the Heaven Dou Empire."
Qian Daoliu was the first to break the silence, "The plan is very bold and far-sighted. If successful, Heaven Dou Empire can be captured without any bloodshed."
"It's just..."
"As for the execution candidates, I believe that the puppets proposed by Pope are not suitable."
"If you want to really hide from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's eyes, hide from the perceptions of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the two Titled Douluo, or even hide your lies in the next few decades, ordinary people can't do it, not even Soul Douluo."
Qian Daoliu stretched out his hand and gently patted the shoulder of Qian Renxue beside him:
"Xue'er wants to participate in this matter."
"Moreover, only she can complete this task most perfectly."
"Angel Family has inherited a ten-thousand-year-old piece of Head Soul Bone, which has extremely strong camouflage ability. Even Titled Douluo cannot see through it. Moreover, the sacred attribute of Six-Winged Angel has the same source as the bright attribute of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Swan Martial Soul, so it is easy to be confused."
"On talent, on mind, on means."
"Xue'er is the perfect choice."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
The hearts of the elders were beating wildly. This was an open robbery!
This is the annexation plan planned by Bibi Dong. If Qian Renxue is allowed to execute it, then who will own the country that will be conquered in the future?
Everyone's eyes quietly turned to Bibi Dong.
Faced with Qian Daoliu's attitude that looked like discussion but was actually putting pressure on him, Bibi Dong sat in the main seat and did not answer immediately.
She just looked at Qian Renxue standing behind Qian Daoliu quietly.
The little girl who once only followed her and cried, now straightened her back, with a coldness and ambition in her eyes that was unfamiliar to her.
That kind of look that says "as long as the benefits are sufficient, anything can be traded"...
So similar.
He and that bastard who lay on the Imperial Garden rocking chair and sunbathe all day are almost carved from the same mold!
Bibi Dong felt a slight chill in his heart.
Only a few days?
It has only been a few days since Nan Feng agreed to "coax" her that night.
That silly girl who was originally simple, stubborn, and only longed for maternal love was "trained" by that bastard Nan Feng to look like this?
I learned to use the rules, learned to take advantage of the situation to pressure others, and learned to put aside my feelings and only talk about interests.
This speed of change is simply terrifying.
"If she continues to stay at Spirit City..."
Bibi Dong's fingers tapped the scepter lightly, thinking secretly in his heart:
"She will definitely continue to run to Imperial Garden every three days, and she will continue to be bewitched by that bastard."
"It only took a few days for her to become like this. If she really stays with Nan Feng for several years and is brought up by him..."
Bibi Dong I simply can't imagine that scene.
Moreover, she still doesn't understand what exactly Nan Feng has in mind for Qian Renxue.
Although that bastard said he would not interfere, his style of doing things has always been to take it one step at a time. Who knows if he is instilling some more dangerous ideas into Qian Renxue?
Instead of keeping her under your nose and making it difficult for you to sleep and eat well, you should always be on guard against the uncertain factor Nan Feng.
It would be better to...
Send her away.
Send it far away.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Since Grand Pontiff is willing to bear the pain and give up..."
Bibi Dong's voice was cold, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm:
"Then I naturally have no objection."
"After all, this Heaven Dou Infiltration Plan is for the great cause of the Spirit Hall."
"Since Qian Renxue has this ability and the consciousness, he is willing to go to that kind of dragon and tiger's den to suffer for the Spirit Hall."
"As Pope, how can I stop you?"
Hearing Bibi Dong relent, Demon Bear and others breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts. Fortunately, there was no fight.
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Bibi Dong to agree so happily.
"So good."
Qian Daoliu didn't talk nonsense and made a direct decision:
"Then start preparations from now on. Xue'er will take away the piece of Angel Soul Bone. As for the specific lurking details and personnel deployment, Pope has to worry about it."
Early the next morning, an obituary that was not very conspicuous was posted on the corner of Spirit City's bulletin board, and was quickly spread throughout the mainland along with the Spirit Hall's intelligence network.
"The daughter of the former Pope Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue, was grief-stricken and sick with worry due to the sudden death of her father. Unfortunately, she died last night."
This message did not cause much waves in Spirit City, and even in the entire Soul Master World, it was just an insignificant wave.
After all, for most people, Qian Renxue is just a name that exists in rumors, a "canary" protected in the deep palace.
Compared with the "death of illness" of a nine-year-old child, what people talk about more is still the "Square Trial" that shocked the world a few days ago.
Pope Bibi Dong broke up with Grand Pontiff Qian Daoliu in public, and even made the crimes of his predecessor Pope Qian Xunji public, nailing him to the pillar of shame and whipping his corpse repeatedly.
This scene was so shocking that even now, the spies and leaders of the major forces are still analyzing the deep meaning behind it all night long.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even the royal families of the two empires are all speculating.
Is this a real and bloody power grab?
Or is it a "bitter plot" directed and performed by the Spirit Hall?
After all, if the internal strife is really going to the point where it will never end, how can it be expressed in such a grand manner in front of the whole world? Isn't this exposing one's own scandal to the outside world?
Some people suspect that perhaps this is Spirit Hall showing weakness? Deliberately creating the illusion of internal division so that everyone can relax their vigilance?
But more people, especially smart people like Ning Fengzhi, smelled a frightening and dangerous atmosphere.
They prefer another possibility--
This is Bibi Dong playing "drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron".
She is using an almost crazy method to forcibly cut the past and future of the Spirit Hall.
In the past, Spirit Hall was domineering, arrogant, and even a bit bandit. That was because the person in power was Qian Xunji, a "reckless man" who advocated violence.
And now Spirit Hall...
People were horrified to find that the newly appointed woman Pope was a hundred times more dangerous than Qian Xunji.
Although Qian Xunji is strong, he is like a bright hammer, only using violence to smash all obstacles. His ambition is written on his face, and his methods are simple and crude. Although scary, he is easy to guard against.
But Bibi Dong is different.
She is a master at playing with people's hearts.
In just one speech and one trial, she packed up the negative public opinion caused by the Spirit Hall's previous attack on the Clear Sky Sect and the public resentment accumulated due to Qian Xunji's domineering behavior, and threw them all on the dead Qian Xunji.
"Qian Xunji is a sinner, a tyrant, and a disgrace."
"But Spirit Hall is innocent, bright and a victim."
Bibi Dong has completely plucked himself, the current Spirit Hall, and even molded himself into the image of a "saint" who kills relatives for righteousness, endures humiliation, and breaks with the old forces for the sake of justice.
Under the leadership of such a "wise, powerful" and "selfless" Pope, Spirit Hall's image has undergone earth-shaking changes overnight.
The Soul Masters who were originally hostile to the Spirit Hall began to waver.
This "soft knife kills without blood" method, this ability to manipulate public opinion and change the situation, has made all the major forces feel an unprecedented chill.
A Spirit Hall who possesses powerful force and at the same time occupies the moral high ground...
That's the scariest thing.
