An Extra Chapter: The Argument!

Ling Yu held Gu Yuena's hand and headed toward the Pope's Palace.

Casually pushing open the doors, the two entered the grand hall and saw Bibi Dong's alluring figure seated upon the Pope's throne, dressed in a luxurious papal robe.

Seeing that Ling Yu had actually come to find her of his own accord, a smile immediately appeared on her face. But when her gaze swept over Gu Yuena behind him, that smile vanished instantly, leaving only faint mockery.

"Teacher, Na'er has awakened her Martial Soul! And she has Innate Full Soul Power!"

Holding the shy Na'er's hand, Ling Yu spoke loudly to Bibi Dong.

"Is that so?"

There was none of the excitement he had expected. Bibi Dong's face was cold as she looked at them and said flatly, "So what?"

Looking at the woman in front of him stirring up trouble again, Ling Yu turned to glance at the pure-eyed girl beside him and smiled faintly. "Na'er, go outside first. I have something to say to this damned—cough, cough—I have something to say to Teacher. Can you wait for me outside for a while?"

Na'er nodded obediently and quickly jogged out, not forgetting to close the doors behind her.

"If you have a problem, take it out on me. Stop speaking so sarcastically here."

Ling Yu shouted furiously at Bibi Dong, "She's a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, and I've already accepted her as my little sister. What are you doing?"

A trace of grievance surfaced on Bibi Dong's face, though she hid it well. Looking at the boy before her, she said, "Little sister? The kind of little sister you're romantically involved with?"

Ling Yu stared wide-eyed at this woman who kept making trouble for no reason and said coldly, "You're simply... simply unreasonable! What exactly are you trying to do? Ever since my Martial Soul Evolution, you've been acting strangely. What do you want?"

Hearing the coldness in his voice, Bibi Dong looked aggrieved, but her tone remained firm. "You don't need to ask about that. At least, it's not time for you to know yet. Why did you bring your little sister to see me? Don't tell me you want me to take her as a disciple?"

"What?"

Ling Yu sneered. "You were willing to take me as your disciple, but now that someone has appeared with talent no weaker than mine, you're unwilling?"

Bibi Dong rose to her feet, her slender body slowly approaching Ling Yu. She said coldly, "You are you, and she is she. Wasn't having me and Nana enough? You even took in a little sister. Why didn't you discuss it with me? And—"

"Enough!"

Ling Yu angrily cut Bibi Dong off. "Taking Na'er as my little sister is my own business. You may be my teacher, but I've always treated you as family. What exactly do you want?"

"What if Na'er likes you? I mean the kind of liking between a man and a woman!"

Ling Yu looked in disbelief at the woman before him, whose eyes had reddened, and said, "We're only six years old. What are you doing?"

"Even if there's nothing now, what about the future?" Bibi Dong demanded loudly.

"Who I like is my own business. Are you going to interfere even in that? Who Na'er likes is her own freedom as well. Neither of us has the right to meddle!"

"What about me?"

Ling Yu looked incredulously at the aggrieved woman before him and asked in confusion, "What? What did you say?"

Bibi Dong stepped in front of Ling Yu and shouted, "I said, what about me?"

Ling Yu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "You... you're my teacher!"

"But I don't want to be your teacher anymore. I regret it! I never should have taken you as my disciple!"

Still unable to understand, Ling Yu asked, "Why do you regret it?"

Bibi Dong turned her head aside and rubbed her reddened eyes. "I just regret it! I wanted to become closer to you, but that didn't mean I wanted to take you as my disciple. I didn't realize it at first, but by the time I did, I found it was already too late!"

Ling Yu lowered his head. He had already realized something, but he simply could not believe it.

"You like me? I mean, the kind of liking between a man and a woman?"

Bibi Dong's gaze suddenly trembled, and her body swayed several times. She turned away without saying a word.

"Hah!"

Ling Yu let out a deep breath. "I'm only six years old. I can't understand why you're like this, but I think something has gone wrong between us. In a while, I'll take Na'er away from Spirit City for some time. During that time, I hope you'll think things through!"

Bibi Dong abruptly turned back, saying excitedly, "No! You absolutely cannot leave Spirit City! I won't allow it!"

Ling Yu raised his head and met her eyes. He could see fear and terror in them, but he did not understand the reason.

"I'm not leaving Spirit Hall. I just want a change of environment. Besides, I've been out for several months already. I want to travel a little and go back to see my grandfather."

Bibi Dong's lips trembled as she wanted to say more, but she feared that if she forcibly kept him here, cracks would appear in their relationship.

At that moment, Bibi Dong was completely unlike the ambitious and formidable figure she usually was. She was like an inexperienced young girl, utterly clueless when it came to matters of the heart.

That was what Ling Yu found most unbelievable. Logically speaking, she should have been in love with Grandmaster once. Although nothing had happened between them, she should not have been like this now, like a complete novice when it came to love.

"Don't worry, I won't be gone for long. Once you've thought things through, write me a letter or have someone from Spirit Hall in any city pass me a message. Then I'll come back with Na'er."

With that, Ling Yu turned and walked outside, completely ignoring the conflicted woman standing in the hall.

"Wait!"

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Ling Yu paused and turned to look at the woman behind him.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Worship Hall. It won't take much time. Just stay here for another day or two, then you can leave."

Bibi Dong looked conflicted, as though she had figured something out, and spoke to the boy before her.

Ling Yu nodded lightly and strode out of the hall, leaving only Bibi Dong slumped on the floor, looking rather dazed.

Bibi Dong stared at where the boy had just stood and murmured, "It's good that he'll be gone for a while. I can use the time to learn more about this. For now, I can only tie you firmly to Spirit Hall's chariot. I absolutely cannot let you sever your relationship with me!"

"When the time is right, you'll understand everything, A'Yu!"

Ling Yu walked out of the hall, his chest rising and falling as he recalled his relationship with his beautiful teacher, all the moments they had shared, and his unconscious hand every morning.

"Do I like her?"

Ling Yu shook his head and laughed. "It would be a lie to say I don't!"

"Forget it. It's good to get out for a while. Since she isn't willing to tell me, I'll find the answer myself!"

With that thought, Ling Yu regained his composure and walked toward the girl ahead.

Chapter thirty-seven was banned. There's nothing I can do; wait two days for it to be unbanned. Right now, I can't even describe things slightly!
