"Since I've been in seclusion because of her all this time, I have to be her older sister and keep her in line."
Qian Xunji could not help laughing as he scolded her. "What kind of logic is that? You really want to be her sister?"
Bibi Dong giggled. "Teacher, when I first asked him to call me 'sister,' I was actually joking."
"After all, you and I lost that bet because of him, and I was punished by being made to cultivate properly. I didn't even have time to play."
"So of course I had to find an excuse to vent my frustration. I told him to call me 'sister,' and that settled the matter."
"What happened to make you genuinely willing to acknowledge him as your younger brother?" Qian Xunji immediately caught the key point.
Something must have happened while the two of them were alone.
Bibi Dong told him how Yu Changge had discovered that she possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.
"I think he's amazing. I don't mind really becoming his older sister and looking out for him while he's in the Spirit Hall."
"I never imagined that studying theory could be useful in this way. Even some of the people in the Spirit Hall who specialize in theory don't know my secret."
Qian Xunji was also somewhat surprised. He sighed inwardly. Yu Changge truly was a rare genius. It was just a pity that his talent for cultivation was lacking.
It was easy to see that his cultivation speed was incredibly fast right now, but being fast for a while was useless.
Yu Changge's cultivation speed was indeed very fast at present, even comparable to Dong'er's. But what about later on?
That was hard to say.
Qian Xunji thought to himself, I only hope you won't cross the line and that you truly see Dong'er as your older sister...
For some reason, this thought suddenly surfaced in Qian Xunji's mind.
But after thinking it over, he dismissed it. He felt that he was overthinking things.
Bibi Dong had never had a close friend she truly admired before. Yu Changge's appearance could perhaps count as her gaining one, so it was normal for her to be this excited.
Besides, Bibi Dong was only nine years old. What could she possibly understand?
He was simply worrying over nothing.
"So, this afternoon, are you going to cultivate, or are you going to take Yu Changge around the Spirit Hall so he can become familiar with it? Especially the Spirit Hall's Library Pavilion."
Bibi Dong answered without hesitation, "Then I'll take little brother Changge around. I've been cultivating all these days, so I want to relax too, Teacher."
That afternoon.
With Bibi Dong leading the way, Yu Changge familiarized himself with the buildings and facilities around the Pope Palace. At last, they arrived at the Library Pavilion.
Bibi Dong said, "This Library Pavilion is only one of the several in the Spirit Hall, but it's also the largest."
"Besides this one, there are also some books in the Spirit Hall Academy, Elder Hall, and Worship Hall. However, I hear those materials are extremely valuable. Even with your teacher's token, you probably won't be able to enter."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong led Yu Changge inside.
Yu Changge shook his head. "Sister Dong'er, just this one Library Pavilion will be enough to keep me reading for a long time."
The Library Pavilion had five floors in total. Each floor was divided into different sections and contained all kinds of books. At the entrance sat a librarian.
"Your Highness, what brings you here today? And who is this?"
Bibi Dong was not yet the Saintess, but because she was Qian Xunji's disciple, everyone addressed her as "Your Highness."
Bibi Dong rarely came here, so the librarian was extremely surprised.
Bibi Dong nodded, then showed the librarian the token in Yu Changge's hand. "I'm accompanying him. He came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to study here. His name is Yu Changge, and he's also the younger brother I've acknowledged."
Bibi Dong deliberately emphasized that Yu Changge was her younger brother. Naturally, she hoped that with this identity, anyone who encountered him in the Library Pavilion and had designs on him would think twice.
As long as they were Spirit Hall personnel with the proper credentials, they could enter the Library Pavilion to read.
At those words, not only was the librarian stunned, but several people studying and browsing books in the Library Pavilion also secretly turned their heads to look over.
Most of them were members of the Spirit Hall with excellent talent, or people whose cultivation talent was lacking and who had applied to transfer into research.
The youngest among them were already in their teens.
Naturally, they all knew Bibi Dong—the Pope's disciple with Innate Full Soul Power.
Moreover, she possessed an exceptionally beautiful face, and her smile was incredibly sweet.
Thus, even though Bibi Dong was only nine years old, she had already secretly won the hearts of quite a few people.
They simply did not dare reveal their feelings because she was Qian Xunji's disciple.
There was another important reason: they knew they were not worthy of her. If they dared to confess and were rejected, that would be fine. But if the Pope found out, things would not end well...
Yet now, Bibi Dong had said that this handsome young man standing before them was her newly acknowledged younger brother!
Their jealousy instantly exploded.
What right does he have?!
Yu Changge's mouth twitched. He glanced helplessly at Bibi Dong. Wasn't she just attracting hatred toward me?
However, when he met Bibi Dong's somewhat innocent eyes, it seemed that she had not intended to do that at all. It had been completely unintentional.
Next, Bibi Dong was going to take Yu Changge to see the Spirit Hall's Mimicry Cultivation Grounds.
"I'll take you around once. After that, you can choose a Mimicry Cultivation Ground that suits you."
Since every Mimicry Cultivation Ground required a considerable amount of land, they were scattered everywhere—at the foot of the mountain, halfway up, and even on the summit.
Several Mimicry Cultivation Grounds with the Light Attribute happened to be located not far from the Pope Palace.
Before long, the entire afternoon had passed.
Yu Changge finally became familiar with the various buildings in the Spirit Hall. The place was truly enormous. He had never felt this tired before.
Bibi Dong, however, still looked full of energy, without the slightest hint of fatigue.
"Gurgle~~"
Just then, an ill-timed sound suddenly rang out.
Bibi Dong's face immediately flushed red. It was the sound of her stomach rumbling.
Yu Changge smiled. "Sister Dong'er, it is getting late. To thank you, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Okay, okay~" The moment Bibi Dong heard the word "food," her embarrassment vanished. She blinked at Yu Changge and said, "Let's eat at the foot of the mountain. I know several places with delicious street food."
"The food in the Pope Palace is pretty good too, but we should change things up once in a while."
"Let's go!" Bibi Dong said, directly taking Yu Changge's hand and leading him down the mountain at a jog.
"We'll hurry back. Don't let my teacher find out." Bibi Dong lowered her voice, looking like a cat sneaking a taste of fish. The sight was both comical and adorable.
