Qian Xunji Revives, Seeks Bibi Dong to Settle the Score

"Uncle Long, thank you."

With those words from Long Xiaoyao, Zhongli Wu felt much more at ease.

The feeling of having an elder backing him up was truly wonderful.

On the other side...

The first thing Qian Xunji did after his resurrection was, naturally, to go find Bibi Dong to settle the score.

His heart was filled with a rage that he could no longer suppress.

He had given his heart and soul to Bibi Dong, only to be backstabbed by her.

Qian Xunji had to make Bibi Dong pay the price.

Pope Palace!

Bibi Dong's expression was so dark it could drip water.

"Damn it!"

"Why is that guy Qian Xunji like a lingering ghost?"

"Since he was already dead, he should have just honestly accepted death."

"Why did he have to come back to life..."

The moment Bibi Dong thought about seeing Qian Xunji again soon, the hatred and panic in her heart surged up all at once.

Since becoming the Pope, Bibi Dong had rarely lost her composure like this.

"Ji'er, come see me at once."

Just as Qian Xunji returned to Martial Soul Hall, the voice of Qian Daoliu suddenly rang out beside his ear.

Hearing that familiar voice, Qian Xunji temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Yes, Father."

Following his memories, Qian Xunji arrived at the Worship Hall as he remembered it.

He had been dead for many years, but the appearance of the place in his memory had not changed in the slightest.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu and a group of elders were waiting with bated breath.

"Father, I have returned."

In front of Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji would always be a child who never grew up.

"Ji'er, it is good that you are back!"

"Father... has missed you."

Qian Daoliu's voice choked with emotion, forcing himself to hold back his tears.

When Qian Xunji fell all those years ago, Qian Daoliu's heart had been filled with incomparable pain.

If not for his high moral standards, which prevented him from laying a hand on Bibi Dong, she would have died a thousand times over long ago.

Even so, to vent Qian Xunji's grievances, Qian Daoliu had still made the entire Clear Sky Sect pay a miserable price.

From this, it was not hard to see just how deep Qian Daoliu's love for Qian Xunji truly was.

The two had much to say to each other after their long separation.

The group of elders did not disturb them, waiting silently on the sidelines.

Come to think of it, they had not seen Qian Daoliu this happy in a very long time.

"Father, where is that bitch Bibi Dong?"

"I want to kill her; I want to make her wish she were dead."

After sharing a moment of father-son affection with Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji immediately wanted to go find Bibi Dong to settle the score.

He could not endure it for even a second longer.

Hearing Qian Xunji bring up this matter, a look of hesitation appeared on Qian Daoliu's face.

"Ji'er, do you blame your father for not killing your enemy with his own hands back then, for not avenging you?"

"I do not blame you, Father. This is a grudge between Bibi Dong and me; I will resolve it myself."

Qian Xunji shook his head!

He knew very well what kind of person his father was.

Qian Daoliu's moral standards were too high.

When it came to the grievances between him and Bibi Dong, both sides were at fault.

Given Qian Daoliu's character, he certainly could not be completely biased toward his son.

Moreover, Bibi Dong was still the mother of Qian Renxue.

Out of consideration for Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu certainly found it difficult to take action.

Therefore, Qian Xunji understood Qian Daoliu's predicament.

Now, he had returned!

He would settle the score with Bibi Dong himself.

"Xunji, it is not my place to interfere in your grievances with Bibi Dong."

"However, this time, I will not let Bibi Dong hurt you again."

Qian Daoliu's moral compass was very upright.

He would not use his seniority to bully the young by helping Qian Xunji kill Bibi Dong.

After all, when it came down to it, Qian Xunji was also at fault.

But he would not allow Bibi Dong to harm Qian Xunji again either.

Back then, he had been careless and failed to protect Qian Xunji properly.

Now, he would not make the same mistake again.

No matter what, Qian Xunji was Qian Daoliu's son, his only heir.

Qian Daoliu had an obligation to protect his own son.

Qian Xunji was deeply moved.

With these words from Qian Daoliu, he was satisfied.

Leaving the Worship Hall...

Qian Xunji headed toward the Pope Palace with a menacing aura.

Bibi Dong had a premonition and dismissed everyone before Qian Xunji arrived.

"Bibi Dong, you wretch, I bet you didn't expect me to return, did you?"

Exuding a chilling murderous intent, Qian Xunji walked step by step into the magnificent Pope Palace.

In the center of the grand hall, Bibi Dong sat high upon the papal throne.

The moment Qian Xunji appeared, Bibi Dong instinctively tightened her grip.

"Teacher, you rushed over so urgently—do you want me to kill you a second time?"

In Bibi Dong's eyes, there was both disgust and a trace of panic.

The man before her brought back too many memories.

Not only of the trauma, but also of the awe she once felt.

"Shut up!"

"You wicked creature, you have no right to call me that."

Qian Xunji no longer possessed his usual calm and dignity.

"I treated you like the apple of my eye, giving you whatever you wanted."

"Yet you are nothing but an ungrateful wolf, stabbing me in the back."

"I must have been blind to have taken you as my personal disciple."

Qian Xunji roared hysterically.

The feeling of having one's sincerity betrayed was simply too painful.

Bibi Dong trembled all over and retorted.

"If you hadn't forced yourself upon me like a beast, would I have treated you this way?"

"Don't you dare play the victim here."

Bibi Dong felt that she was the true victim.

She had once respected Qian Xunji so deeply.

It would not be an exaggeration to say she had viewed Qian Xunji as her own father.

After all, without Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong would never have achieved such heights.

She had once been an innocent and romantic girl.

She had kept every kindness Qian Xunji showed her in her heart.

Bibi Dong had made up her mind to honor Qian Xunji well.

But in the end...

Qian Xunji had forcibly dragged her into a secret chamber and ruined her entire life.

Her killing of Qian Xunji was merely an act of revenge; what wrong was there in that?

Bringing up the past, Bibi Dong felt that she was the one who had suffered the greatest injustice.

"If you hadn't set your heart on Yu Xiaogang, would I have done such a thing?"

"I have sacrificed so much for you."

"Yet you turned around and fell in love with that piece of trash, Yu Xiaogang."

"So what does everything I did for you count for?"

Qian Xunji had not expected Bibi Dong to dare claim she was the aggrieved one.

He had adopted Bibi Dong not only to groom her as his successor.

He wanted her to bear him an exceptional heir.

To that end, Qian Xunji had been meticulous in his care for Bibi Dong, spoiling her to the heavens.

He had worked incredibly hard to cultivate feelings with her.

But in the blink of an eye...

Bibi Dong had fallen for that waste, Yu Xiaogang.

She had even wanted to elope with him.

This was nothing short of the behavior of an ingrate.

Qian Xunji was no fool; why should he let a piece of trash like Yu Xiaogang trample the cabbage he had raised?

The fact that he hadn't killed Yu Xiaogang outright was already the height of benevolence, a gesture of respect for Bibi Dong.

Yet Bibi Dong had still tried to kill him.

If one were to truly weigh the faults, it was Bibi Dong who had erred first, and her transgression was far greater.

"Enough talk!"

"If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Bibi Dong had no desire to continue the argument.

As far as she was concerned, Qian Xunji deserved to die.

And not just Qian Xunji, but the entire Angel Clan as well.
