No feelings, just value, right???
At the same time.
Qian Renchuan also crossed his arms behind his head and spoke lazily.
"Yes, Dad, we're family, let's get straight to the point."
What exactly is our role in this coronation ceremony?
Where will we be standing then?
"Someone from above is here. What polite things should we say?"
"And how long are you going to keep that fake smile going?"
As he spoke, he lowered his hand again and began counting on his fingers in a serious manner.
"Dad, why don't you just tell me everything at once?"
"I'll remember this so my sister and I can just follow it. We definitely won't embarrass you."
Although Qian Renchuan's words sounded like he was asking about the ceremony's procedures.
But that tone and attitude.
This is clearly just a perfunctory job.
Upon hearing the two children's words, Qian Xunji's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Now I finally truly realize it.
Although my two children are still young, almost seven years old, they are by no means idiots who don't understand anything.
Especially considering the huge uproar caused by Bibi Dong sending people to assassinate Xiaochuan recently.
Now, in Xiaochuan and Xiao Xue's hearts...
They're all definitely holding their breath.
They are expressing their dissatisfaction with themselves and their resistance to Dong'er in this way.
Thinking about all this, Qian Xunji felt quite helpless.
He could only turn and glare fiercely at Bibi Dong, who was watching the spectacle with amusement, before turning back to the two children below. Taking a deep breath, he got down to business.
"The specific rehearsal schedule for the coronation ceremony."
"Elder Yue Guan will come to you then to make detailed arrangements."
"However, the reason I specifically called you here today is because there is something extremely important that I must inform you of in advance."
Hearing Qian Xunji's serious tone...
Qian Renchuan and Qian Renxue both dropped their previous perfunctory attitude and looked at each other with some surprise.
It's remarkable that Qian Xunji would speak in this tone.
This is definitely not a trivial matter.
Seeing that the two of them were serious, Qian Xunji paused, then loudly announced, word by word,
I've made up my mind.
"At this coronation ceremony."
"I will officially announce to the entire Spirit City, and even to all forces across the continent, the identity of your biological mother!"
"At the same time!"
Qian Xunji suddenly stood up, her voice rising sharply with intonation.
"At this grand ceremony, I will also formally accept your mother as the Pope's Consort of my Spirit Hall!"
Upon hearing this,
Like a bolt from the blue, it exploded with a deafening roar.
Both Qian Renchuan and Qian Renxue and her brother, were shocked.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock and utter astonishment.
What?
They simply couldn't believe what they had just heard.
This completely exceeded all their expectations!
Has Qian Xunji gone mad?
He not only wanted to publicly announce Bibi Dong's identity.
They even want to make her their Pope's Consort?
Moreover, look at how calmly Bibi Dong is sitting here now.
It actually sounded like she agreed?
How is that possible!
In my previous life.
Qian Xunji never dared to publicly reveal this secret until his death.
Even so, Bibi Dong still hated the Qian Family to the bone, wishing she could grind all of the Qian Family to dust.
Now, Qian Xunji not only wants to announce this to the world.
They even want to put Bibi Dong in the position of Pope's Consort???
Even more outrageous, Bibi Dong actually sat there nodding in tacit approval!
This is completely illogical.
[They've gone mad, completely mad! How could this insane woman possibly swallow the anger from back then?]
[Unless...]
[Her father gave her a bargaining chip she couldn't refuse]
[Could it be authority?]
[Or something else?]
Qian Renxue's heartfelt words reached Qian Renchuan's ears without missing a single one.
Qian Renchuan's heart also stirred, and he glanced at Bibi Dong without making a sound.
For a woman filled with boundless hatred to lower herself to act, there is no other explanation than absolute self-interest.
Based on the original text, we can make inferences.
Qian Renchuan suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be the Blue Silver Emperor, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
Has Qian Xunji found any clues about the Blue Silver Emperor?
That's right, that must be it. Qian Xunji probably used Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, plus some real power in the Pope's Palace, to get Bibi Dong to make a superficial compromise.
It's a pity that Qian Xunji thought he was making up for his mistakes from back then.
Little did they know that this was tantamount to handing a dagger to their enemy!
Why.
Thinking about what will happen next.
For some reason, Qian Renchuan felt a heavy weight in his heart.
Qian Xunji could not die.
He deserves to be punished, but he shouldn't die!!!
At least from a personal emotional standpoint, Qian Renchuan didn't want the other person to die.
Unable to resist glancing at Qian Renxue beside him again, Qian Renchuan took another deep breath.
I must do something about it when the time comes.
But now...
Let's take it one step at a time.
On the other side.
Neither of the two children said a word.
Qian Xunji also knew that this news was too unusual for them to accept.
Especially since the eldest son, Qian Renchuan, had recently been assassinated by his own mother.
After sighing.
Qian Xunji rose from the throne and slowly descended.
"Xiaochuan, Xiao Xue, Dad was surprised to hear this news."
"But over the years, you've heard a lot of gossip and suffered a lot of injustice."
"Now our family can finally stand together legitimately, including your younger brother Yuhao. Dad is also sending people to intensify the search."
"I will make sure everyone on the entire continent knows then."
"The three of you are my children, Qian Xunji and Dong'er's children, the true young masters of the Spirit Hall."
When she spoke her last words, Qian Xunji's emotions were genuine, and she seemed to have been looking forward to this day for a long time as well, her eyes moistening.
Upon witnessing this scene...
Qian Renxue also felt a pang of sorrow.
I finally understand what my father was thinking. This must be a regret from his previous life.
But...
That woman...
She's not a good match!!!
Qian Renxue couldn't bear it, so she turned her head away and refused to look at him again.
In contrast, Qian Renchuan seemed rather carefree and thoughtless.
"Dad, I have a few questions."
Qian Xunji was stunned.
He nodded immediately.
"Ask away. As long as it makes you happy, Dad will do whatever you want."
"Alright then."
Qian Renchuan started counting on his fingers very seriously.
"First of all, the coronation ceremony was originally intended for Xiao Xue and me; it was Xiao Xue home turf."
"Now that you've interfered with the concubine-taking ceremony, should the gifts and resources from the various powers be considered public funds of the Pope's Palace, or my and Xiao Xue's private property?"
"Gah?"
In an instant.
Qian Xunji's expression froze.
Bibi Dong was in the second seat, also turned her head slightly, her lips twitching.
He glanced at Qian Renchuan with an expression as if he were looking at a freak.
But Qian Renchuan completely ignored their expressions and continued counting on his fingers.
"Secondly, we used to call each other 'sister' when we met, but now we've suddenly changed to calling each other 'mom,' which shows a significant difference in generation."
"When we start calling her 'Mom,' will you give us a 'change-of-address fee'?"
I don't want any more.
"Any kind of Soul Bone or something will do..."
Qian Xunji's lips also began to twitch.
Change of address fee???
What kind of nonsense is going on in this kid's head?
If it were any other child, upon hearing that their long-lost mother was coming back, they would either burst into tears or question her with aggrieved indignation.
Qian Renchuan is quite something.
Is it all about resources the moment you open your mouth?
It's all money???
There are no emotions, only value, right?
