Not worthy?!
Bibi Dong's pupils constricted instantly.
The moment Ye Qingtian finished speaking, the anger she could no longer suppress surged within her.
If she truly had a way to defeat Ye Qingtian, Bibi Dong would have loved to strike right then.
And mercilessly suppress and kill Ye Qingtian, making him look up at her as a loser.
"Isn't Supreme Consecrated's conduct a little too domineering? You are the Supreme Consecrated of Spirit Hall, yet you attack Hall Elders at will."
"By Supreme Elder's logic, does that mean that from now on, any elder within Spirit Hall can be casually killed as long as Supreme Elder is in a bad mood?"
"If such a culture is allowed to grow, who would dare continue serving Spirit Hall in the future? Supreme Elder, you are shaking Spirit Hall's very foundations!"
"Supreme Elder, you should know that under normal circumstances, those qualified to hold elder positions are all Titled Douluo. If you chill the hearts of all those Titled Douluo-level elders, do you understand how severe the consequences will be?"
Bibi Dong drew a deep breath and spoke in a low, restrained voice.
She seemed to be reasoning with him, but in truth, she was spouting twisted logic.
These elders were not the same kind of elders. Titled Douluo-level elders like Yue Guan and Gui Mei were fundamentally incomparable to an Honorary Elder like Yu Xiaogang, a piece of trash who had not even reached level thirty.
The two were not even on the same level, yet Bibi Dong was forcibly equating them.
Ye Qingtian coolly scrutinized Bibi Dong as he listened to her twisted argument.
Everything went in one ear and out the other; he treated her words as nothing but filthy nonsense.
For someone with an impure heart to preach lofty principles about shaking Spirit Hall's foundations at a time like this was laughably absurd.
Bibi Dong's brows furrowed tightly.
Ye Qingtian refused to take the bait, and her mood worsened.
This was not how the script was supposed to go. She had wanted to use this incident to suppress Ye Qingtian.
But now...
Ye Qingtian's every reaction left her no room to continue.
"Hah..."
She let out a heavy breath.
With a smile that did not reach her eyes, Bibi Dong continued, "It seems Supreme Consecrated is unwilling to provide an explanation for this matter."
"In that case, I can only record everything Supreme Consecrated has done in the archives. Let us see what the other elders think of you, Supreme Consecrated!"
Her words fell.
Bibi Dong's mood had soured to the extreme.
The first round of their clash had ended in complete defeat.
But simply abandoning the matter would not suit her original intention of avenging Yu Xiaogang and reclaiming her dignity.
"Let us put this matter aside for now. I have another matter to discuss with Supreme Consecrated!"
"I heard that Supreme Consecrated captured a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, which is currently being held in custody."
"I came personally to Heaven Dou City to take that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast away. Does Supreme Consecrated have anything else to say?"
At last, she revealed her true intentions.
Bibi Dong had set her sights directly on Xiao Wu.
She had no way to force Ye Qingtian to yield through raw strength, but in other matters...
Bibi Dong believed she could still disgust Ye Qingtian. Even if she could not truly threaten him, it was better than doing nothing.
She did not need to think to know who Ye Qingtian intended to use the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for.
If she could forcibly seize Xiao Wu, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, at this moment...
There was no doubt Ye Qingtian would lose all face.
Through this, she could also tell everyone else in Spirit Hall...
That she, Bibi Dong, could still keep this Supreme Consecrated Ye Qingtian under control.
"That Soul Beast has been arranged for Xiao Xue. Don't think about extending your claws so far, Bibi Dong!"
"If you stretch your claws too far, I do not mind knocking them straight off!"
Ye Qingtian answered blandly.
Since Bibi Dong refused to accept a shred of courtesy, he had no interest in continuing this pointless chatter with her.
At his words,
A cold gleam flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes, and her domineering voice rang out:
"Supreme Consecrated, the allocation of Spirit Hall's resources has never been decided by one person alone!"
"That Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was captured, which makes it one of Spirit Hall's resources. When it comes to resource allocation, I have the final say!"
"You say you want to use this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Qian Renxue, but she is still far too weak. She has not reached the point where she must use a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"Within Spirit Hall, there are many Soul Douluo with great achievements. If they could use this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it would undoubtedly add another layer of strength to Spirit Hall!"
"My decisions are what truly serve to strengthen Spirit Hall as a whole!"
Ye Qingtian remained silent.
No matter how Bibi Dong barked, he could not be bothered to say another word.
She was a madwoman. Continuing to waste words on her would only be wasting his life.
Being ignored so thoroughly by Ye Qingtian,
Bibi Dong's fury flared even more violently, though she forced it back down at the last moment.
After steadying herself, Bibi Dong pretended not to understand.
"Since Supreme Consecrated has nothing to say, I will make arrangements for this matter."
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, go to Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and bring back that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If the Heaven Dou Imperial Family obstructs you, tell them we already settled this matter privately!"
"Remember, there must be no mistake. You both understand the importance of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
Yue Guan: "..."
Gui Mei: "..."
Bibi Dong, are you an idiot?
You want us to bring back the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Are you sure this is an order a normal carbon-based lifeform could give?
That Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast belongs to Qian Renxue now. You crazy woman, don't tell me you do not know that?
You want the two of us to bring back the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Isn't that basically sending us to our deaths?
Yue Guan and Gui Mei understood this perfectly well.
Ye Qingtian had not agreed, and they were not blind. They could see it clearly.
Under these circumstances, if they forcibly took away the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, they could already foresee what would happen to them.
Bibi Dong was beside herself with rage.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei's refusal to move only fueled her burning anger.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, has my order ceased to work?"
"Go to Heaven Dou Imperial Palace immediately and bring back the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
As her words fell,
Bibi Dong forcibly unleashed her aura.
Pressure even stronger than Yue Guan and Gui Mei's descended upon them.
Feeling that Bibi Dong was serious, Yue Guan and Gui Mei could only smile bitterly.
Before them stood Ye Qingtian, a wolf; behind them stood Bibi Dong, a tigress.
Life really was difficult!
They realized that if they did not move, Bibi Dong would strike directly.
For now, Ye Qingtian had not made a move, and they could not gauge the exact situation.
The two exchanged a glance, and their eyes hardened. In the end, they had to heed one side first.
"Supreme Consecrated, since Her Holiness has made this arrangement, we will go bring back the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"Please forgive us, Supreme Consecrated. We have no choice."
Having spoken at breakneck speed, Yue Guan and Gui Mei vanished from the place at the same time.
They did not dare remain any longer, afraid that if they were even a second too late, Ye Qingtian would swat them to death with one slap.
Bibi Dong watched Yue Guan and Gui Mei leave. A faint smile curved her lips as she studied Ye Qingtian with an ambiguous expression.
She could not contain her delight, deeply satisfied that Yue Guan and Gui Mei had ultimately obeyed her arrangements.
Ye Qingtian...
This round, I win!
