After Qian Renxue came out of the bathroom and changed into the clothes that had been prepared in advance, she and Jun Xuehan left the room and headed towards the pavilion where they were having dinner.
When the two arrived at the pavilion, they found it already full of people, all smiling and enjoying the delicious food in front of them.
Especially Yue Yi and Mochen, who were focused on battling the delicious food in front of them.
"Teacher, Grandpa, why didn't you wait for us before you started eating?" Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue sat down at the table, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat.
"You two are not young anymore, you're both in your early twenties. Don't you even know when to eat? What if Yue Yi gets hungry while you're waiting for her?" Bibi Dong glanced at the two of them and said nonchalantly.
"I was so busy with important matters that I missed a little time." Jun Xuehan looked at Yue Yi and said softly, "Besides, teacher, isn't the food at our Pope's Palace a bit too good lately? Look at Yue Yi, she's already gotten a little chubby."
Upon hearing this, Yue Yi looked up blankly, swallowed the meat in her mouth, and stared at her father.
"Yue Yi is at the age where she is growing, so it's normal for her to eat more now. For example, when someone was little, they ate the equivalent of seven or eight people's meals. That's probably genetic." Bibi Dong said, placing a plate of fine roasted meat in front of Yue Yi, her voice full of indifference.
Jun Xuehan lowered his head silently and stopped speaking. After all, he knew very well who Bibi Dong was referring to.
Qian Renxue chuckled softly, then lowered her head and silently ate her meal.
Soon, after finishing the delicious food in front of her, Bibi Dong put down her chopsticks and looked at Jun Xuehan, saying, "You and Xue'er will preside over the Upper Three Sects in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan nodded slightly and said, "No problem, this is not difficult. Just leave it to us. Anyway, the election will be conducted through a competition."
Bibi Dong turned her gaze to Qian Renxue and said, "The affairs of the Pope's Palace have been piling up for many days. Xue'er, now that you are the Pope, don't forget to deal with them."
"Yue Yi, it's still early. Where would you like to go? Grandma will take you."
Bibi Dong looked at Yue Yi with a doting expression, and her voice was gentle.
"Grandma, can I bring Mochen with me? He reads books in the Pope's Palace every day, and he's gotten a little silly lately," Yue Yi asked softly, pointing at Mochen.
"Alright, one more or one less won't make a difference." Bibi Dong glanced at Mochen, waved her hand dismissively, and walked straight out of the Pope's Palace.
Yue Yi and Mochen followed behind Bibi Dong, quickly keeping up with Bibi Dong pace.
Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance before heading towards the Pope's Palace to see what official business needed to be handled Pope's Palace.
The two arrived at the Pope's Palace and, looking at the mountain of government affairs, couldn't help but exchange a glance.
"Xue'er, you have quite a lot of official duties to perform," Jun Xuehan said with a faint smile, pointing to the official duties.
"There is quite a lot of official business, but I have already made preparations." Qian Renxue glanced at Jun Xuehan without showing any emotion and nodded slightly.
"Prepare? What preparations?" Jun Xuehan asked.
"Let's divide the work. You handle the administrative matters, and I'll sit here and supervise." Qian Renxue said, casually finding a spot, snapping her fingers, and signaling a maid to bring over a pot of tea.
"Simply put, I'll handle the administrative affairs, and you'll sit there and drink tea?" Jun Xuehan asked softly as she looked at the administrative affairs.
"No, it's not about drinking tea, it's about supervising, watching you handle government affairs to prevent you from making mistakes, Xuehan." Qian Renxue smiled and said seriously.
"Alright, I'll handle it. I'll handle it." Jun Xuehan smiled nonchalantly, sat down in the main seat, and began to deal with the official business in front of her.
As time passed, the moon hung high in the night sky, and the sky had completely darkened. Under the dark moonlight, a gentle breeze blew.
Just then, the Temple Knights Pope's Palace suddenly entered, bowed to Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue, and said, "Your His Holiness the Pope, Your His Holiness the Pope, the Patriarch of Nine Heart Begonia requests an audience."
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan slowly raised her head, looked at the Temple Knights in front of her, nodded slightly, and said, "Let her in. A visit at this late hour must mean something."
As she spoke, Jun Xuehan put down her official duties and stretched her wrists.
"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope." The Temple Knights replied and then withdrew.
A few minutes later, Ye Qian and Ye Lingling walked in from outside.
"Sect Master, we have come late at night. Have we disturbed you?" Ye Qian and Ye Lingling bowed respectfully and said.
"It's alright, Aunt Ye. Did you come to see me for something?" Jun Xuehan waved her hand dismissively and asked them directly why they had come.
"Sect Master, haven't the positions of the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects changed? Although my Nine Heart Begonia Family knows we have no chance of being among the Upper Three Sects, we still want to try our best to secure a place among the Lower Four Sects." Ye Qian said with a smile.
"Yes, there are indeed vacancies in the Upper Three Sects the Lower Four Sects. It's a good thing that your Nine Heart Begonia Family wants to try and secure them." Jun Xuehan nodded slightly, quietly waiting for them to continue.
"Sect Master, our Nine Heart Begonia Family lacks a powerful Soul Master, so we would like to borrow one from you to help us stabilize our position among the Lower Four Sects," Ye Qian said softly, then bowed to Jun Xuehan.
"I can lend you people, but even if I help you stabilize the Lower Four Sects, your Nine Heart Begonia Family will still be all show and no substance without anyone. What difference will it make?" Jun Xuehan nodded slightly, readily agreeing. But her gaze remained fixed on Ye Qian, awaiting her reply.
"Sect Master, our Nine Heart Begonia Family has never had a powerful Soul Master to lead us, and due to the scarcity of direct descendants, our reputation on the continent is not very high. The reputation of the Lower Four Sects is a good opportunity for our Nine Heart Begonia Family to develop. Only with a reputation can our clan better recruit outstanding talents." Ye Qian sighed, speaking with some helplessness.
Jun Xuehan nodded and said, "Well, find a few suitable people in the Wind Snow Pavilion to help you. You can ask Dugu Bo. With Dugu Bo's strength, he can help you stabilize the Lower Four Sects without any problem."
Ye Qian and Ye Lingling bowed and said, "Then we thank the Pavilion Master in advance."
With that, Ye Qian led Ye Lingling out of the Pope's Palace.
