Go to Moonlight Pavilion!

Glazed Pavilion, time seemed to stretch out and become viscous.

Lin Xia's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, her lips were tightly pursed, and she was fully activating the vast and pure life essence of Venusaur.

This energy, imbued with the Nature Power, is both domineering and gentle, like the holy flames in a furnace, gradually Burn and purifying the swamp of Grudge churning deep within Bibi Dong's soul.

Bibi Dong's body stopped trembling violently, and the purplish-black resentment dissipated and faded from her body Sisi wisps of snow exposed to the scorching sun.

Although the process of dispelling the torment brought soul-wrenching pain, contorting her delicate face, clenching her teeth, and emitting suppressed groans, her deep purple eyes finally broke free from the chaotic and violent vortex and regained focus, even though that focus was filled with exhaustion, weakness, and lingering pain.

"Call..."

Lin Xia felt the surging power finally gain an overwhelming advantage, Sheer Force suppressing the uncontrollable torrent of evil thoughts back into the sealed place deep within Bibi Dong's soul.

He slowly withdrew most of his energy, but still maintained a pure life force to nourish Bibi Dong's depleted spirit.

The turbulent swamp of Grudge subsided temporarily, leaving only dangerous ripples.

He let out a long sigh, his tense nerves relaxing slightly, before feeling a strong sense of exhaustion wash over him, his face turning slightly pale.

But he disregarded his own feelings, his gaze fixed on Bibi Dong's face, trying to confirm whether she was completely lucid.

"Teacher?"

Lin Xia's voice was cautious and tentative, as if afraid of disturbing fragile glass.

Bibi Dong closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, most of the pain had faded, replaced by a bottomless weariness and... a trace of indescribable complexity.

She nodded slightly, her voice terribly hoarse.

"I'm fine now. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Xia."

This response finally put Lin Xia's mind at ease.

He pulled his hand away from Bibi Dong's unconscious grip and carefully helped her, whose body was slightly cold, to sit down gently on the stone bench in the pavilion.

Qian Renxue immediately stepped forward, squatted down beside Bibi Dong, and held her mother's other cold hand, her eyes still filled with lingering fear and apprehension.

"Mother, what you just did..."

Qian Renxue's voice trembled.

You scared me to death!

Bibi Dong managed a reassuring smile, raised her hand to touch her daughter's cheek, but fell back halfway due to exhaustion.

She shook her head slightly, but her gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Xia's worried face.

Seeing her teacher's pale, fragile, and unsteady breathing, and recalling the extremely dangerous and unprecedented outburst of evil thoughts just now, Lin Xia felt a heavy weight in her heart.

His original plan to travel to the Heaven Dou Empire with Qian Renxue was now thrown into turmoil.

"As for Sister Xue'er... I promised her. She's been looking forward to me going with her for so long, it'll ease some of her burdens..."

"But Teacher... Teacher is like this now! The evil thoughts erupted so suddenly and violently, far more than ever before! We were lucky this time that Venusaur and I managed to suppress it together, but what about next time? What if Teacher loses control again when he's alone after we leave..."

"Although the Spirit Hall is strong, and the elders are strong, what can truly reach the depths of the teacher's soul and restrain that Rakshasa Evil Thought is probably only my and Venusaur's special Life Energy... Although the teachers are strong, their attributes may not be suitable, and Sheer Force suppressing them may backfire."

"To leave now and put my teacher in danger... if something really happens, I... I will never be able to forgive myself!"

Various thoughts collided and tugged fiercely in my mind.

On one side are her sister's earnest expectations and solemn promises, and on the other side is the safety of her mentor, who is like a mother to her.

Responsibility, worry, guilt, commitment... these were like countless ropes Wrap him, almost suffocating him.

Lin Xia's gaze shifted back and forth between Qian Renxue's worried face and Bibi Dong's weak yet composed expression.

He saw that the expectation in Qian Renxue's eyes had not completely faded, and he also saw the barely Frisk loneliness deep in Bibi Dong's eyes, almost hidden by vulnerability.

A thought, like a shooting star streaking across the darkness, suddenly illuminated his mind!

"Stay at the Spirit Hall? No, what about Sister Xue'er..."

"Sheer Force her to stay? The teacher might not agree, and it wouldn't be good for her emotional recovery..."

"Take her away! Take the teacher away too! Leave the Spirit Hall, this center of power, and leave these environments that might trigger painful memories for her! Find a quiet, peaceful place where she can truly relax and recuperate!"

Once the idea took root, it quickly grew and became incredibly clear and feasible.

"The Heaven Dou Empire... Heaven Dou City! Sister Xue'er has built up her influence there over many years; it's relatively safe. The key is..."

Lin Xia's eyes lit up.

"Moonlight Pavilion! Madam Tang Yuehua's Moonlight Pavilion! It's the most renowned place for cultivation in Heaven Dou City, with a tranquil and elegant environment, famous throughout the continent for its use of music to calm the mind and cultivate the body! My teacher has never been there before. A completely new environment filled with artistic atmosphere will definitely be of great benefit to her Wrap getting rid of her Inner Demon!"

The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems!

This not only solved the problem of the teacher's self-cultivation, but also allowed him to fulfill his promise to Qian Renxue, and at the same time, he could personally protect the teacher in case of any emergency!

That's killing three birds with one stone!

Lin Xia took a deep breath, as if he had made some great decision. He raised his head, his eyes fixed intently on Bibi Dong, his voice hoarse from exhaustion, yet filled with an undeniable firmness:

"Teacher."

He paused, making sure Bibi Dong's attention was focused on him.

"Your current condition is really not suitable for strenuous activity, much less for you to remain alone in the hall. This disciple... this disciple has an idea."

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue both looked at him.

"Your disciple and Sister Xue'er are about to depart for the Heaven Dou Empire, but your disciple is truly worried about your health."

Lin Xia's tone was sincere and concerned.

"This disciple dares to suggest... Master, why don't you... you come with us to the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were visibly stunned.

"Together... go to Heaven Dou?"

Bibi Dong's voice was somewhat ethereal, tinged with disbelief.

"Right!"

Lin Xia nodded vigorously and quickly explained.

"Instead of making a public inspection tour in his capacity as Pope, he will go secretly to recuperate in a low-key manner. This disciple has thought of an excellent place— the Moonlight Pavilion in Heaven Dou City!"

His eyes gleamed with fervent light.

"Moonlight Pavilion is a tranquil and elegant place. Madam Tang Yuehua's musical skills are unparalleled, and she is most adept at using music to soothe the mind and nourish the soul. You, Teacher, have never been there before. A change of scenery, away from the complicated affairs of the Spirit Hall, may be of great benefit to you in regulating your mind and body and completely suppressing your evil thoughts!"

The more he spoke, the clearer his thoughts became.

"I will stay by your side at all times, just in case... just in case. I can also keep an eye on Sister Xue'er, so it won't interfere with important matters. Teacher, what do you think?"
