Bibi Dong's Shock, the Blue Silver Invitation!

Xu Qing looked into her expectant eyes.

His gaze was full of affection.

He reached out and tousled her silver hair.

"Alright."

"I'll do as you say."

He had no intention of refusing.

Though he had kept a low profile over the past few years.

That was because his strength had not yet been enough for him to gain a foothold in this world filled with powerful experts.

But now.

Not only had he formed the First 100,000-Year Spirit Ring, his Soul Power had also reached the realm of a ninety-third-level Title Douluo.

Combined with the mutated attributes of Twin Blue Silver Grass and the purifying power of the Cyan Gold Blue Silver Vine.

Across all of Douluo Continent.

Below the gods, he was already invincible.

With such strength to back him up.

There was indeed no need to deliberately hide his edge any longer.

Not long after.

News that the Dean would be holding a hundredth birthday banquet spread throughout Blue Silver Academy.

For a time, the entire academy was abuzz.

Many students rubbed their hands together excitedly.

To them, the Dean was a godlike existence.

Being able to attend the Dean's birthday banquet was an immense honor.

Inside the girls' dormitory.

Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er sat around a table.

The table was piled with all sorts of rare materials.

Shui Bing'er rested her cheek on one hand, her cool face carrying a trace of sentiment.

"I never imagined Master would be nearly a hundred years old."

"He still looks like such a handsome young man. He doesn't look old at all."

Ye Lingling nodded in deep agreement.

"Master's cultivation is heaven-reaching. He has long transcended the passage of mortal years."

Shui Yue'er played with a piece of Top-grade Ice Marrow in her hand, pouting anxiously.

"But what gift should we prepare for Master?"

"Master definitely won't care for ordinary gold, silver, or jewels."

"Master can casually give away even ten-thousand-year immortal herbs."

Ye Lingling was troubled as well.

Indeed.

Given Xu Qing's standards, there were far too few things in this world that could catch his eye.

Shui Bing'er glanced at her two younger sisters and could not help teasing them.

"I think."

"If we really can't find a suitable gift."

"Yue'er, why don't you wash yourself clean, wrap yourself in a big red ribbon, and give yourself to Master as a present?"

At those words.

Shui Yue'er's face instantly flushed to the roots of her neck.

"Sister, what nonsense are you saying!"

"Master has that fairy-like Mistress by his side. How could he possibly fancy me?"

Though she said so, a trace of unconcealed anticipation lingered in Shui Yue'er's eyes.

After fooling around for a while.

Shui Bing'er turned serious.

"I heard that for this birthday banquet, the academy sent invitations to every major faction across Douluo Continent."

"There will definitely be many important figures in attendance."

"As Master's personal disciples."

"We must perform well at the banquet and absolutely cannot tarnish Master's great name."

Ye Lingling and Shui Yue'er both nodded in agreement.

Although Blue Silver Academy had always kept a low profile.

If one spoke of its history, it was unquestionably one of the most ancient academies on the continent.

Taking advantage of this birthday banquet.

They were determined to make the entire continent recognize Blue Silver Academy anew.

As invitations bearing the Blue Silver Grass emblem were sent out one after another.

The situation across Douluo Continent was instantly stirred into turmoil.

The Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace.

Xue Ye sat upon the dragon throne, clutching the invitation that emanated a faint aura of life.

Both his hands trembled slightly.

His excitement was impossible to conceal.

"A hundredth birthday banquet!"

"Could that legendary Blue Silver Dean actually still be alive?"

Several high-ranking ministers standing below exchanged looks.

In the empire's records, Blue Silver Academy had always been an exceedingly mysterious taboo.

Xue Ye abruptly rose to his feet.

"Deliver my order!"

"Prepare the empire's most lavish congratulatory gift!"

"For this birthday banquet, I will attend in person!"

"Crown Prince Xue Qinghe will attend the banquet with me!"

The entire court was stunned by this decree.

For the ruler of a nation to personally visit and offer birthday wishes, such an honor was unparalleled in all the world.

Within the Eastern Palace.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, looked at the intelligence report in her hand.

Her brows lifted slightly, her face full of surprise.

"A hundred years old?"

"Just who is this Blue Silver Dean?"

Xue Ke's previous investigation had yielded nothing, and Royal Team One had been turned away outright.

Yet the empire still treated Blue Silver Academy with such reverence.

Qian Renxue became increasingly eager to meet this legendary Dean.

The Star Luo Empire reacted just as fervently.

The Star Luo Emperor summoned his trusted aides overnight and took stock of the greatest treasures in the imperial treasury.

He was determined to win Blue Silver Academy's favor at this birthday banquet.

For a time, delegations from the two great empires marched grandly toward Blue Silver Academy.

Spirit City.

Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong reclined against the broad papal throne.

Listening to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's report.

Her originally languid expression gradually turned solemn.

"The Blue Silver Academy Dean's hundredth birthday banquet?"

Bibi Dong sat upright, an extremely complicated emotion flashing through her eyes.

The image of that young man in green robes surfaced uncontrollably in her mind.

That dual-colored mutated Blue Silver Grass, that astonishing First 100,000-Year Spirit Ring.

And the terrifying method that had severely wounded her with a single blow.

Those scenes intertwined, becoming a psychological shadow she could not shake off.

Ever since she had fled back from the depths of Blue Silver Academy last time.

Whenever she closed her eyes, she saw the Cyan Gold Blue Silver Vines filling the sky.

Just then.

Bibi Dong's gaze suddenly sharpened.

On the golden nanmu side table beside the papal throne.

At some unknown time, a green invitation had been quietly placed there.

A lifelike Blue Silver Grass was printed upon it.

Bibi Dong's entire body trembled.

She abruptly stood up, her scepter striking heavily against the floor.

"When did this appear?!"

Yue Guan dropped to his knees with a thud.

His face was full of terror.

"Your Holiness, I... I have been guarding outside the hall the entire time. Not even a fly entered!"

Bibi Dong ignored Yue Guan.

She stared at the invitation, a layer of cold sweat actually seeping across her back.

This was the core territory of Spirit Hall!

The surroundings were covered in Soul Power barriers and guarded by countless experts.

Yet the other party had silently delivered an invitation right to her side beneath her very eyes.

How could such a method possibly exist in this world?!

Bibi Dong took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She slowly reached out and opened the invitation.

The handwriting was bold and powerful, carrying an undisguised domineering aura.

With only one glance, she felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down upon her.

Should she go, or not?

Bibi Dong gripped the edge of the invitation tightly, her knuckles turning white.

If she went, she would undoubtedly have to face the demon who had utterly defeated her.

If she did not go.

The appearance of this invitation here was itself an exceptionally direct warning and provocation.

The great hall was deathly silent.

After a long while.

Bibi Dong slowly loosened her hand, a fierce glint flashing through her eyes.

"Give the order."

"Prepare the carriage."

"I want to see just what tricks he can pull at this hundredth birthday banquet!"

After a fierce internal struggle.

She ultimately made her decision.

Go!

She had to uncover Xu Qing's true background.

If she could not cross this psychological barrier, her cultivation would never advance another step.
