Junior Brother, You Bastard

Jun Xuehan brought a basin of clean water from the back hall and placed it in front of Bibi Dong then put her hands directly into the water to wash away the bloodstains.

After Bibi Dong cleaned the blood off her hands, Jun Xuehan tactfully took the basin away and emptied it.

Bibi Dong watched Jun Xuehan leave, then sat back down in the main seat, her gaze fixed on the government affairs on the desk. She slowly picked up her pen, seemingly intending to continue handling government matters.

But after hesitating for a while, she put down her pen, leaned back in her chair, and slowly closed her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

Jun Xuehan returned to the main hall and looked at Bibi Dong, who was resting with her eyes closed. She did not disturb her but stood quietly to the side.

Time passed slowly, Hu Liena walked in from the entrance of the Pope's Palace with a gloomy expression.

When Hu Liena's gaze fell upon Jun Xuehan, she glared at Jun Xuehan with eyes full of gloom and anger.

Jun Xuehan looked at Hu Liena with surprise in her eyes. Hu Liena's hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn, making her look like she had been in a battle.

Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, looked at Hu Liena, and asked, "Nana, what have you been doing?"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's question, Hu Liena immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher, I had something to do just now. I went back to the Spirit Academy and sparred with Yan and the others. I ended up in a bit of a mess."

Bibi Dong's eyes showed suspicion, but she did not ask any further questions. Instead, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, go back and change your clothes."

Hu Liena looked at Jun Xuehan and said, "I have some things to discuss with you, Junior Brother. Let's go back to the back hall together and talk as we walk."

Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan readily agreed without hesitation.

Bibi Dong waved to the two of them, signaling them to leave.

Jun Xuehan and Hu Liena watched Bibi Dong's actions and headed straight for the back hall. After leaving the hall, the smile on Hu Liena's face vanished instantly.

"Junior brother, you bastard, you promised to go and kill him together! Where are you?" Hu Liena looked at Jun Xuehan and asked angrily.

"Ahem, Senior Sister, let me explain." Jun Xuehan cleared her throat, her expression unchanged, and said, "Originally, I went with you, but we were stopped halfway. The person who stopped me was very strong. After a battle, neither of us could defeat the other, so I came back early."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena narrowed her eyes and said in a somewhat gloomy tone, "Junior brother, do you think your senior sister is easy to fool? I haven't seen you since I left the Spirit Hall, and now you're telling me that you went with me."

Jun Xuehan cleared her throat and said, "Senior Sister, there are two of us. I was certain that Yu Xiaogang would leave Spirit City, so I planned to go outside Spirit City ahead of time to ambush him. That way, with us attacking from both sides, he would have no chance of escaping. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and I was stopped halfway through."

"As for why you didn't see me, with my current strength, if I deliberately conceal myself, you simply wouldn't be able to detect me. If you don't believe me, you can look at the bloodstains on my body; these are the bloodstains left by the person who stopped me."

"Besides, Senior Sister, Yu Xiaogang is just a Soul Grandmaster. With your strength, dealing with him should be as easy as killing a chicken. How did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Jun Xuehan's hands were covered by his body. The fact that Bibi Dong was holding him and crying was something I couldn't tell you. The fewer people who knew about this, the better.

Hu Liena's gaze fell on the scattered bloodstains on Jun Xuehan's white clothes. She even leaned closer to sniff them, and could smell a very faint bloody odor.

"If it were just him, I could certainly take down that scumbag, but he had a Soul Saint by his side. I was careless and suffered a loss, so I had to retreat. If you were here, even with that Soul Saint, we could still take him down." Hu Liena snorted coldly, somewhat doubting what Jun Xuehan said.

After all, how could such a coincidence happen? But seeing the bloodstains on Jun Xuehan's body, she didn't press the matter further. In any case, her junior brother had no reason to lie to her about killing Yu Xiaogang, and there was indeed blood on Jun Xuehan's body.

Jun Xuehan did indeed want to kill Yu Xiaogang, but because she was being held by Bibi Dong, she couldn't even leave through the gates of the Pope's Palace.

Furthermore, he couldn't tell Hu Liena about Bibi Dong holding him and crying, otherwise it would affect Pope Bibi Dong's image and her image in Hu Liena's heart.

It's not worth it for the high and mighty Pope to shed tears for a good-for-nothing. If someone is presentable, they can be called an ex, it doesn't matter whether you mention it or not, but if they are not presentable, that's a stain.

Jun Xuehan felt it wasn't worth it to damage Bibi Dong's image because of Yu Xiaogang's stain.

"There's a Soul Saint by your side. What kind of Martial Soul does that Soul Saint possess?" Jun Xuehan asked softly, glancing at Hu Liena beside her.

"Great Strength Vajra Bear," Hu Liena said.

"Great Strength Vajra Bear, Zhao Wuji?" Jun Xuehan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. All he took was a stack of blank paper. If we want to kill him, we'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Hu Liena's expression softened slightly, and she said, "Yes, there will be other opportunities in the future. Okay, I'll go back to my room now."

Hu Liena looked down at her disheveled appearance and walked straight towards the room.

Jun Xuehan glanced at his clothes and walked into the room as well. His white clothes were still stained with blood, so it would be better to change them.

Back in her room in the rear hall, Jun Xuehan took a bath, changed her clothes, and then walked straight out of her room toward the Worship Hall.

Entering the Worship Hall, Jun Xuehan walked straight up to Qian Daoliu sitting in the hall and asked softly, "Grandpa, has Xue'er gotten up?"

Qian Daoliu raised his eyelids, glanced at Xuehan, and said, "Don't you know better than me whether Xue'er is up or not?"

Jun Xuehan reached out and scratched his head, saying, "Grandpa, you go ahead with your work. I'll go check if Xue'er is awake yet."

Qian Daoliu waved his hand dismissively, opened his eyes, closed them again, and said, "Go."

Jun Xuehan smiled, turned around, and walked straight towards Qian Renxue's boudoir.

Upon entering the boudoir and seeing Qian Renxue lying on the bed, Jun Xuehan did not disturb her. Instead, she sat cross-legged to the side, closed her eyes, and entered a Meditative Cultivation state.
