Bibi Dong Personally Visits the Elder Palace

Upon returning to the Elder Palace, Greenlark Douluo recounted everything that had happened to Qian Daoliu in full detail.

"Big Brother, Bibi Dong has probably learned of Little Yu's existence by now."

The moment Greenlark Douluo saw the Golden Generation, he knew the matter could no longer be concealed.

"It doesn't matter. So what if she knows?"

"If Xue'er hadn't been too young back then, with no suitable position available for her, how could it possibly have been Bibi Dong's turn to become Pope?"

Although Qian Daoliu was dissatisfied with Bibi Dong becoming Pope, Spirit Hall had remained stable and developed normally during her tenure. However, she should never have allowed the relationship between the current Elder Palace, Pope Palace, and Elder Hall to become so hostile.

All of this had been caused by Bibi Dong.

"What should we do next, Big Brother?" Greenlark Douluo asked.

"Let things proceed normally. Once Little Yu is old enough, have him go to Tiandou City and meet Xue'er."

Qian Daoliu had no intention of letting Su Yu leave Spirit Hall for now. He would first grow up safely in the Elder Palace, and it would not be too late to leave once the time was right.

"I'll follow Big Brother's decision."

Greenlark Douluo nodded.

"By the way, where is Little Yu?"

"He went back to rest," Greenlark Douluo answered.

"That's good. Let him rest properly."

After settling into life at the Elder Palace completely, five months passed in the blink of an eye.

Over those five months, Su Yu had barely gone to Spirit Hall Academy. Instead, he studied under the seven pontiffs and learned the first two forms of the Angel Holy Sword Nine Forms.

"Little Yu, let's stop here for today. If you keep training, you'll wear yourself out."

Qian Daoliu withdrew his wooden sword and looked at Su Yu, who was drenched in sweat.

"Understood, Grandpa Qian." Su Yu nodded and put away the Angel Holy Sword.

"Learning the first two forms in five months is already very impressive. Back then, it took Grandpa Qian an entire year to learn those first two forms."

Qian Daoliu smiled.

"Has anyone ever mastered all nine forms of the Angel Holy Sword?" Su Yu asked curiously.

"Not that I know of. I have only learned the first eight forms myself. The ninth may require a certain opportunity."

He was already advanced in years, so he naturally had no intention of researching the ninth form of the Angel Holy Sword any further.

"Su Yu, you're still young. You can try to master the ninth form of the Angel Holy Sword. It will benefit you."

Qian Daoliu advised Su Yu to give it a try, though he should not devote all his energy to the Angel Holy Sword techniques.

Su Yu nodded. Naturally, he understood.

"Well, well, the Grand Pontiff is chatting."

At the teasing voice, Qian Daoliu's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a stern expression.

Su Yu looked up and saw a graceful woman walking over. It was none other than Pope Bibi Dong.

Su Yu remembered that he had kept himself hidden in the Elder Palace for these five months and had barely gone out. What was Bibi Dong doing here?

"Bibi Dong, what are you here for?"

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back.

"Grand Pontiff, I heard there was a little fellow who looked very much like the Former Pope. I merely came to see whether he is the Former Pope's illegitimate son."

Bibi Dong openly stated her purpose, then turned her gaze toward Su Yu beside Qian Daoliu.

This was the first time Bibi Dong had seen Su Yu in five months.

Just one glance brought Qian Xunji's appearance back to her mind.

Similar. They were truly far too similar.

The chance of him being an illegitimate son was over ninety percent.

"Does it matter to you whether he is or not?"

Qian Daoliu asked in return.

"Of course it matters. If he is an illegitimate son, I can teach him a thing or two as well."

Bibi Dong smiled at Su Yu.

Su Yu merely rolled his eyes at her.

Yeah, right!

If you were really capable of teaching me, the sun would rise in the west.

What he had not expected was that Bibi Dong had actually come personally to confirm it.

"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Little Yu is not Jili's illegitimate son. He merely resembles Jili."

Qian Daoliu's gaze was deep, his expression utterly serious.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu, trying to judge whether he was telling the truth.

She could tell from Qian Daoliu's eyes that it was the truth, not a lie. Besides, as the Grand Pontiff, he had no need to lie.

"Since that is the case, I won't disturb you any longer. As for little Su Yu, if you ever have questions about Martial Souls, you may come find me."

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Bibi Dong's lips.

Without saying anything more, she turned and left.

"Grandpa Qian, is Her Holiness the Pope the Former Pope's teacher? Why did she say I look very much like the Former Pope?"

Bibi Dong had already said that much.

Su Yu was no fool. He immediately pretended to be utterly confused.

"Alas, it can't be hidden anymore." Qian Daoliu sighed. "Little Yu, to tell you the truth, your appearance is very similar to how my son looked when he was young. And the Pope just now was my son's disciple."

Su Yu pretended to come to a realization. "So that's the connection. But why were all the previous Popes members of the Qian family, while this generation's Pope became Bibi Dong?"

Qian Daoliu fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking. "The Former Pope died suddenly at the time, and there was temporarily no one capable of taking on such a great responsibility. We could only put forth Bibi Dong as Pope."

Qian Daoliu then told Su Yu everything he could reveal.

Su Yu also gained a general understanding of the situation.

"That's roughly how it was. Grandpa Qian did not mean to hide it from you."

Qian Daoliu said.

"I understand."

It was rare for Su Yu to see Qian Daoliu sighing so heavily.

"Don't worry. Once you've grown stronger, I will name you the Holy Son of Spirit Hall."

Qian Daoliu had already made plans. Once Su Yu broke through to Spirit Ancestor, he would make him the Holy Son of Spirit Hall.

The position of Holy Son could not remain vacant. If Bibi Dong suddenly found someone and made him the Holy Son, that would be no good for Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena was already the reserve Holy Maiden.

"I understand, Grandpa Qian."

Breaking through to Spirit Ancestor was only a matter of a few years.

Meanwhile, after Bibi Dong returned to the Pope Palace and received the answer she wanted, her previously irritated thoughts instead gave rise to some other ideas.

"They are both Qian Xunji's illegitimate sons, yet they can look so alike."

Bibi Dong muttered to herself.

She desperately wanted to tie the child up, drag him into a secret chamber, and properly discipline him until he submitted to her.

Back then, Qian Xunji had imprisoned her in exactly that manner.

At that thought, a surge of excitement rose within Bibi Dong. She wanted to return to Qian Xunji everything he had done to her.

Only then could her heart be freed and find balance and satisfaction.

Unfortunately, he was always staying in the Elder Palace, leaving her no chance to act. So long as there was even the slightest opportunity, she would strike immediately without any hesitation.

"Heh heh, there will always be an opportunity. I refuse to believe you'll stay in the Elder Palace for your entire life."

"If you really can stay in the Elder Palace for your entire life, then I'll admit you're capable."

He would leave eventually. Presumably, he would also have chances to go to Tiandou City. When that time came, she would have plenty of ways to make her move.

All she needed was the slightest opportunity.

There was no one in this world yet who could stop Bibi Dong from doing what she wanted.
