I'm Truly Afraid This Is a Dream, and When I Wake, I'll Lose Everything!

As evening approached, the Great Garden Square was brightly decorated and bustling with activity, and the crowds showed no signs of decreasing.

"What a fulfilling day! I wish every day could be like this!" Dugu Yan said with a smile as she sat on the bench.

Ye Lingling, Hu Liena, Xiao Wu, and Rongrong beside her nodded in agreement, having a wonderful day!

"Like this every day? You're dreaming! You're still students, you should prioritize your studies!" Qian Renfeng said.

"Pope Brother, you really know how to spoil the mood! The weather is so nice today, and it's so lively here, why do you have to bring up something that makes us unhappy?" Dugu Yan pouted.

"Really?!" Upon hearing Qian Renfeng glanced at the sky and thought it looked just like any other day.

"Hahahaha." Qian Renxue covered her mouth and laughed so hard she almost choked, then patted Qian Renfeng's shoulder forcefully.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, don't always be so rigid. Why are you becoming less and less interesting since you became Pope?"

Hearing her sister say that, Qian Renfeng was even more confused. "Uh... what are you talking about, sister?"

"By the way, there are less than three years left before Yan Yan and the other two graduate from the Spirit Academy. What are your plans for the future?!"

"Do you want to go to the grassroots level for training? Or stay at the Spirit Academy? Or perhaps you want me to arrange a sinecure for you?!"

Qian Renfeng asked, "In less than three years, it can feel fast or slow, and now he is the Pope."

Just as they said before, if Dugu Yan and the others wanted a sinecure, he could still make it happen.

"You'll graduate in less than three years?" Ye Lingling seemed to be genuinely pondering this question.

"By graduation day, I'll be eighteen. What should I do then?! Stay at the academy? Or take a position at the grassroots level?!"

Seeing that Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Hu Liena were seriously considering the matter, the rest of the people also quieted down.

"Go to the grassroots level for training? I'm not the career-oriented female Soul Master. As for a sinecure? There's no need for that. I'll stay at the Spirit Academy and be a teacher like Sister Xiao Xue!"

Dugu Yan was the first to make a decision; it was better to make plans sooner rather than later, given that there were less than three years left.

"A teacher? A teacher of theory or a teacher of practical skills?" Qian Renxue asked Dugu Yan with a smile.

"Of course, a practical instructor! Do I even have the ability to be a theoretical instructor? I know my own limitations!"

"Although my grades in theory classes aren't low, they're still not enough to become a theory teacher!" Dugu Yan said truthfully.

"Of course, if you had the same achievements as the Pope Brother, becoming a theory teacher would be a piece of cake. After all, the Pope Brother was known as Grandmaster of theory back in the day!"

"The teachers at the academy all sang praises of the Pope Brother's theoretical knowledge!"

Ye Lingling then spoke up, "Then I'll stay at the Spirit Academy as a teacher, just like Sister Yan Yan. That way I can see Sister Yan Yan and Sister Xiao Xue every day."

"Then I'll do the same!" Hu Liena said, "You all chose to stay at the Spirit Academy. If I made any other choice, I would be very bored without you by my side!"

"Great, great!" Qian Renxue laughed, "We'll be able to see each other every day then, and maybe we can even train those students together! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

"Does that mean that once we advance to the Advanced Academy, you'll all become Rongrong and my teachers?!"

Xiao Wu spoke up at this moment.

"Of course!" Dugu Yan laughed, "Aren't you excited? After all, we've got your back!"

"Hehehe!" Xiao Wu laughed, "Then won't I be able to walk around arbitrarily at the Spirit Academy from now on?!"

"Walk sideways?!" Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue lightly flicked Xiao Wu's forehead with her finger. "Are you a crab?!"

"Back in the day, even Xiao Feng and I at the Spirit Academy didn't dare to act like we could do whatever we wanted. Look at you, so confident! Wait until you come to the Advanced Academy, then we'll see how we train you and make you cause Aunt Rou trouble!"

"No!" Xiao Wu said pitifully.

"Hahahaha!" Rongrong burst out laughing, "Sister Xiao Wu, you'd better behave yourself then."

Qian Renfeng looked at the laughing and chatting crowd, then gazed at the sky, as if one of the twinkling stars was the world he had lived in in his previous life.

"How wonderful!" Qian Renfeng thought to himself, "In this life, I have a loving father and mother, and a lovely older sister! Although she can be a little silly sometimes."

"I have several grandfathers, and I am currently the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Sometimes I'm really afraid that this is all a dream, and when I wake up, I'll be back in the Bashu Tang Sect."

"If every day could be this peaceful and uneventful, without any ups and downs, it wouldn't be so bad, would it?!" Qian Renfeng thought to himself.

Sometimes he was truly afraid, truly afraid that his current happy life was just a dream, and that when he woke up he would return to that little house and become that outer disciple of the Bashu sect again.

I will lose my father and mother, my silly older sister, my grandfather, and everything I have now...

"Ouch!" Qian Renfeng cried out in pain.

Qian Renxue withdrew her hand from Qian Renfeng's head and asked with a smile, "Silly little brother, what are you thinking about so intently?!"

"Are you plotting something? But with your blockhead, you probably wouldn't even think of such a thing, would you?"

"Sister, what are you saying?" Qian Renfeng smiled and said, "I'm just feeling a bit sentimental, sentimental about how happy life is now. Everyone is here, and we laugh and talk every day. It seems pretty good, doesn't it?"

"Oh? Our His Holiness the Pope can actually say things like that?!" Qian Renxue teased.

Qian Renfeng scratched his head. "Oh right, there's something I haven't given Rongrong yet. I'll give it to you today."

Everyone turned to look.

Rongrong also looked surprised, "What does Pope Brother have for me? I'm so excited!"

Qian Renfeng smiled slightly, a smile that made people feel very comfortable.

Then, he took out a jade box from his Storage Soul Tool, inside which was a Immortal Herbs.

"This is Immortal Herbs! It's a kind of Immortal Herbs that's quite suitable for your Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul. Take it when you get back; who knows, it might even help your Martial Soul Evolution!"

"Isn't this too expensive?!" Rongrong asked.

"Take them. They all have them too. Now that you're one of us, I can't show favoritism!" Qian Renfeng said.

To be honest, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the first power he joined after becoming the Pope. Huyan Zhen had Immortal Herbs, so Rongrong naturally couldn't be without them!
