The Pope's robes are extremely magnificent, entirely pure white, with a splendid and grand pattern outlined in silver thread, and adorned with a few common gemstones.
Jun Xuehan changed into the Pope's robes, and after a quick wash, she and Qian Renxue headed towards the Pope's Palace.
Meanwhile, in the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong, the current Pope, sat in the main seat, with elders and worshippers sitting neatly on her left and right sides.
To Bibi Dong's left sat the elders and priests of the Worship Hall, while to her right sat the elders of the Pope's Palace.
The two sides were clearly separated, and roughly estimated, there were nearly twenty Titled Douluo. Beside Bibi Dong stood Hu Liena, dressed in gorgeous attire.
Suddenly, Bibi Dong opened her eyes and saw Jun Xuehan, dressed in Pontiff's Attire, slowly walking into the Pope with Qian Renxue.
All eyes turned to the two of them, and they instantly became the focus of the entire room. Under everyone's gaze, Jun Xuehan walked straight to the Pope's seat and sat down.
Qian Renxue was about to walk down when Jun Xuehan reached out and pulled Qian Renxue up, making Qian Renxue sit on his lap.
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow and immediately looked away from the two of them, as if she hadn't seen anything at all.
The other worshippers and elders remained unchanged, their expressions showing no alteration. Qian Renxue, however, remained impassive, giving Jun Xuehan a disdainful glance.
"Gentlemen, after a joint decision by the Pope's Palace and the Worship Hall, we will Restarting the Pope Position today. The position of Pope will be held by my disciple, the Great Worship Elder of the Worship Hall, Jun Xuehan. If any of you have any objections, please feel free to raise them." Bibi Dong slowly rose, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings, exuding boundless majesty.
Upon hearing this, both the elders of the Pope's Palace and the worshippers in the Worship Hall expressed their admiration; no one voiced any objection or offered any opinions.
"Since no one has any objections, then it's decided that Jun Xuehan will serve as both the Great Worship Elder of the Worship Hall and the Pope of the Pope's Palace." Bibi Dong looked around and announced loudly.
"Greetings, Great Worship Elder, greetings, Your His Holiness the Pope." The priests and elders below immediately rose and bowed to Jun Xuehan.
Jun Xuehan released Qian Renxue from his hands, a warm smile appearing on his face. He said, "Seniors, you don't need to be like this. I hope you will give me more guidance in the future."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sat down, but none of them paid any attention to Jun Xuehan's words. After all, it was clear to everyone that this was merely a symbolic gesture from Jun Xuehan.
"Everyone, besides that, I have another piece of good news to announce. From now on, Spirit City will be temporarily closed. The Pope and the Saintess of the Worship Hall will hold their wedding in three days. At that time, the entire Spirit City will celebrate!" A smile appeared on Bibi Dong's majestic face.
The elders and worshippers below exchanged glances, and a somewhat noisy chorus of congratulations rose and fell from below.
Hu Liena went straight to Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue and congratulated them, saying, "Junior brother, no, I should call you Your His Holiness the Pope now. You two are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven. I'll congratulate you on your marriage in advance."
Hearing Hu Liena's words, Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile.
"Senior sister, let's stick to our own roles. No matter what our current status is, I am still our teacher's disciple, and you are still my senior sister." Jun Xuehan waved her hand lightly, speaking indifferently.
"Yes, it's still more comfortable to call you Junior Brother. It feels a little strange to suddenly change how I address you." Hu Liena nodded gently, a smile blooming on her face.
"Nana, go and inform the Golden Generation. Time is of the essence. We need to start preparing for both the Pope's Palace and the Worship Hall from now on," Bibi Dong said softly, looking at Hu Liena.
"Okay, teacher." Hu Liena replied and walked straight out of the Pope's Palace to inform the others about the matter.
"Teacher, is there anything Xue'er and I can help with?" Jun Xuehan asked Bibi Dong softly.
"You two? Go do what you need to do. We, as your elders, will handle everything." Bibi Dong looked at the two of them, waved her hand, and indicated that they didn't need to do anything.
"Then Xue'er and I will go to Spirit City for a stroll."
Jun Xuehan took Qian Renxue's hand and walked straight towards the Pope's Palace.
Meanwhile, the maids in the Pope's Palace and the Worship Hall were busy preparing their respective congratulatory gifts.
In Spirit City, at the Spirit Academy.
Hu Liena found Xie Yue, Yan, Zong Ming, Tang Lingling, and others, and told them what had happened in the Pope's Palace.
"Brother Han, are you now the Great Worship Elder of the Worship Hall?"
"Brother Han, are you the Pope of the Pope's Palace now?"
"Is the boss getting married?"
The group exchanged bewildered glances.
"Brother Han, he's having a wedding. We can't go empty-handed, can we?" Yan stroked his chin, his eyes full of thought.
"Yes, we definitely can't go empty-handed. We need to prepare some gifts. Without Brother Han, we wouldn't have been able to obtain a domain." Xie Yue nodded in agreement.
"How about we give him a clock together? That way, when he checks the time, he'll immediately know it was a gift from us, which will be very meaningful," Zong Ming said earnestly, stroking his chin.
He remembered that Jun Xuehan once told him that gifts should have sentimental value.
Hearing his words, Hu Liena, Yan, Xie Yue, Tang Lingling and the others froze.
Tang Lingling immediately raised her leg and kicked him, saying speechlessly, "Are you missing a screw in your head? You're giving a clock as a wedding gift? Do you think you've lived too long?"
Yan's lips twitched, and he said, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you. If this thing is given away, we won't have to eat at the banquet anymore. Let's take a look at it. If you like the flip-top version, then let's choose the sliding-top version."
Xie Yue glanced at Zong Ming and said, "Giving away something like this, you really are a genius."
Hu Liena stood aside and said quietly, "Ling Ling, I think you should keep an eye on him. If you really send him this, Zong Ming might have to walk in and be carried out."
As everyone watched, they all looked at Zong Ming with speechless expressions. This was clearly an easy question, but Zong Ming had actually given the answer to a question that could lead to disaster.
