Holographic Projection

After checking into the hotel, Wang Jingyu went straight to the bathroom for a soak, then comfortably enjoyed the delicious food the waiter had delivered to the hotel entrance.

Afterward, he activated the Heavenly Eye feature, wanting to see what Bibi Dong was doing now that she had returned to Spirit Hall.

She shouldn't... be saying bad things about me, right?

A screen appeared before Wang Jingyu's eyes, displaying two options: Bibi Dong's perspective and Ju Douluo's perspective.

Without a second thought, he selected Bibi Dong's perspective. What normal person would want to watch that guy Ju Douluo's perspective?

Ju Douluo's existence was merely a backup Wang Jingyu had deliberately set up just in case.

As Bibi Dong's perspective appeared, Wang Jingyu discovered that he was standing inside a magnificent hall decorated in the style of the Western churches from his previous life.

Beside him stood the slightly bowed Ju Douluo and the unsmiling Bibi Dong.

At the head of the hall, a man with thick brows and large eyes, wearing an outwardly righteous appearance, sat upon the Pope's throne.

He was gazing at Bibi Dong with an imposing yet kindly look.

Even Wang Jingyu could not help being startled. Wasn't this Heavenly Eye feature a little too powerful?

It had actually projected everything happening in the Palace of the Pope into his room as a 3D hologram, making him feel as though he were there in person.

The man seated on the Pope's throne rose to his feet and strode over to Bibi Dong and Ju Douluo. He spoke kindly.

"Dong'er, how did your mission to Suotuo City go? You returned so quickly. You didn't disappoint your teacher, did you?"

Bibi Dong gave the man a slight nod and replied expressionlessly.

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher. After arriving at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City, Dong'er won one hundred consecutive matches without a single defeat.

The person in charge of the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City personally awarded Dong'er a Golden Douluo Badge, so Dong'er returned early."

She took out the Golden Douluo Badge she had received from the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City from her Storage Spirit Tool, proving that she was not lying.

"Mm, good. Very good. I knew my disciple had always been the best."

Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction, and the look in his eyes as he regarded Bibi Dong became even gentler and more affectionate.

However, Bibi Dong's cold expression left him somewhat puzzled.

Whenever his disciple had returned from a trip in the past, she had always been polite and respectful toward him.

Sometimes, she would even run over, cling to his arm, and act spoiled. It was no exaggeration to say that she respected him as though he were her father.

But now, this disciple was like an iceberg that would not melt, faintly giving off the impression that she was keeping him at arm's length. He could even sense Bibi Dong's rejection of him.

Wang Jingyu also realized something was wrong at this moment. Why was this girl putting on such a sour face around Qian Xunji?

Wasn't she plainly telling Qian Xunji that she hated him as her teacher now? Qian Xunji had probably already become suspicious, hadn't he?

Wang Jingyu, anxiously watching from the side, summoned the Diary System and began writing at length.

Damn, what's going on with Dong'er? She's acting as cold as ice toward her own teacher.

It's not that she can't give that idiot Qian Xunji attitude, but now isn't the time.

After all, Qian Xunji is still the teacher who dotes on her most. He hasn't drugged her like in the original story, taken advantage of her while she was unconscious, and violated her.

Nor has he forced her to become pregnant with Qian Renxue and coerced her into marrying him.

Giving her teacher the cold shoulder like this is not a wise move at all.

Even if she has to pretend, she should at least act obedient, sensible, and harmless in front of him.

Once she becomes strong enough, it won't be too late to turn against Qian Xunji then.

After venting in the diary, Wang Jingyu did not bother checking what reward the system had given him. He paced back and forth in frustration.

Inside the Palace of the Pope, Bibi Dong also knew that it would be best for her to pretend she knew nothing and act like the innocent, lovable, romantic young girl she had once been.

But whenever she thought of how the man before her would bring the greatest tragedy of her life upon her two years from now, utterly destroy her, and drive her mad enough to kill her own teacher—

It felt as though a thorn were lodged in her heart. She could not pretend that nothing had happened. She simply could not do it!

Especially when she met his eyes and saw the kindness and warmth within them, she felt like vomiting.

For the first time, she realized just how hypocritical and sanctimonious her teacher truly was.

If she could, she truly did not even want to call him Teacher anymore.

She gave Qian Xunji a slight bow and calmly pleaded.

"Teacher, Dong'er has been exhausted from traveling these past few days, and my entire body feels unwell. Dong'er wishes to return and rest first. Please grant me permission."

Though still puzzled, Qian Xunji did not say much upon hearing his disciple's request. He merely replied gently.

"Then go back first. Take a good bath when you return, then get a good night's sleep. Your teacher has another task for you tomorrow."

"Yes, Teacher. This disciple will take her leave first."

Bibi Dong bowed respectfully, then turned and left the Palace of the Pope.

The 3D holographic projection Wang Jingyu was watching changed along with Bibi Dong's movements.

Wang Jingyu had no choice but to deactivate the Heavenly Eye on Bibi Dong and activate the backup Heavenly Eye he had placed on Ju Douluo.

Once he activated the Heavenly Eye on Ju Douluo, Wang Jingyu found that the 3D holographic projection had returned to the Palace of the Pope.

At this moment, Qian Xunji had completely lost the kindness and warmth he had shown Bibi Dong. He looked at the bowed Ju Douluo with an imposing and cold gaze.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, did you encounter anyone strange during your trip to Suotuo City? Why is Dong'er so cold toward me now?

Did someone you encountered say something to Dong'er that made her develop feelings of rejection toward me?"

Hearing this, Wang Jingyu's heart skipped a beat.

Damn it! Qian Xunji really has become suspicious!

All he could do now was hope that Ju Douluo would not say anything careless. Otherwise, it might cause no small amount of trouble.

Ju Douluo respectfully nodded to Qian Xunji, then spilled every detail of what had happened on the journey to Suotuo City.

When he mentioned meeting Yu Xiaogang, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, on the way to Suotuo City, Qian Xunji's brows furrowed tightly. He had always despised the people of the Upper Three Sects.

When Ju Douluo mentioned that Bibi Dong had left the entire group behind in the Star Dou Great Forest and gone alone with Wang Jingyu deeper into the forest, Qian Xunji unconsciously clenched his fists.

Concerned about saving face, Ju Douluo did not mention how Wang Jingyu had tricked him with an Illusion Technique. Instead, he downplayed the important parts, hoping to salvage some dignity for himself.

But how could Qian Xunji be so easily fooled? A sharp light flashed through his eyes as he demanded sternly.

"I ordered you to protect the Saintess and not leave her side for even one step. She possesses the greatest talent in all of Spirit Hall and is the future hope of the Holy Hall!

How could you allow her to enter the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest alone with a strange man? Chrysanthemum Elder, this is dereliction of duty. Do you admit your crime?"
