Class Monitor, We Found Them!
"Nonsense!"
Qian Xunji finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He raised his hand to pat Qian Renchuan on the back of the head, but Qian Renchuan slipped away.
"Do you need to worry about those empty formalities?"
"You're the young master of the Spirit Hall; you'll have access to all sorts of resources from now on!"
Qian Xunji missed, and gritted his teeth in frustration.
But he stopped and turned to look at Qian Renxue, his tone softening.
"Xiao Xue, what do you think?"
He felt that his second daughter was always well-behaved and wouldn't argue too much.
Unexpectedly, Qian Renxue remained indifferent.
"I have no objection."
"Whom His Pope's Consort the His Holiness the Pope wishes to appoint as his consort is a matter for the Pope's Palace; it's none of my business as a second-year student at the Spirit Academy."
The phrase "Your His Holiness the Pope".
The boundaries are drawn clearly and explicitly.
"Hiss~"
Qian Xunji took another deep breath.
I finally know the attitudes of my two children. It seems that everything can only be dealt with slowly in the future.
Fortunately, it's alright.
They are still young.
There will be plenty of time and opportunities in the future.
"Alright, that's all for today."
Qian Xunji waved his hand weakly.
"You guys go back first and get yourself in a better state."
"The Upper Three Sects and the two great empires will all send important figures to this coronation ceremony. We mustn't embarrass the Qian Family."
But Qian Renchuan, who was about to leave, called out again with a grin.
"Dad, wait."
Qian Xunji instinctively became alert.
What are you going to do now?
"Since I'm being asked to play along with your family reunion act at this grand ceremony, and even change my address in public, shouldn't I at least get some appearance fee?"
Qian Renchuan grinned and spoke with self-righteous indignation.
I don't want much.
"After this coronation ceremony is over, send two Titled Douluo to be my bodyguards, and allow my sister and me to go out of the city for a trip."
He was already planning how to get Qian Xunji to agree to let him and Qian Renxue leave for Sunset Forest.
Isn't this the opportunity that's presented itself?
Are you going out to play?
Qian Xunji's face immediately darkened.
"Nonsense!"
"Do you know how many eyes are watching you right now? What are you doing running around like that?"
It's just two books.
Qian Renchuan was enough to make him a thorn in the side of all the major powers.
No one in Spirit City dared to do anything to him.
But what if I leave???
They left Spirit City.
It's completely different!
The Spirit Hall is very powerful, and the major powers dare not do anything to it openly, but what about behind the scenes?
Who can guarantee that?!
However, Qian Renchuan simply shrugged.
"You've attended the grand ceremony, changed your tune, but you can't even go out for a walk to clear your head?"
"If you don't agree, I can't guarantee I won't oversleep on the day of the coronation."
"If someone were to yawn in front of all the major powers, it would be embarrassing for the Pope's Palace."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji's eyes widened instantly.
It's about to erupt.
Is this brat threatening me?
But as soon as his gaze swept over Qian Renxue, who had a tense expression, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
They fell silent instantly.
Releasing Dong'er from confinement and publicly making her the Pope's Consort was indeed his own willful act, without consulting the two children at all.
Especially after the recent Beast Tide assassination attempt in the Star Dou Great Forest, the two children must be holding their breath in resentment.
Xiaochuan is now insisting on going out.
He probably just felt stifled in Spirit City and wanted to go out for a walk and find some peace and quiet.
Furthermore, with two Titled Douluo following him closely, even if the major sects and the two great empires wanted to use underhanded tactics, they would never be able to harm Xiaochuan in the slightest.
There shouldn't be any danger.
Thinking of this, Qian Xunji finally let out a long sigh and nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, I promise."
"After the ceremony, I'll arrange for someone to escort you out for a stroll."
"However, we need to make this clear beforehand: you can't stay out too long."
"Okay, thanks Dad."
Qian Renchuan readily agreed.
He then turned around, took Qian Renxue's small hand, and said...
"Come on, little sister, let's go back to the Spirit Academy first."
Led by Qian Renchuan, Qian Renxue offered no resistance and turned to leave without a second thought.
Only after the two figures had completely disappeared did the hall finally return to deathly silence.
Bibi Dong sat on the chair with her head bowed.
She gently adjusted her long skirt, a mocking expression on her face.
That's it?
"You saw it?"
"This is the kind of seed you painstakingly raised."
"One was full of scheming, the other's eyes were filled with disgust for me, their mother."
"Qian Xunji, who exactly are you putting on this show for?"
Qian Xunji had his back to her and didn't speak immediately.
He only turned around after a long while.
"They're still young, what do they know?"
"As long as the ceremony goes smoothly, in time, blood ties will always remain blood ties."
"Dong'er, don't forget what you promised me."
"I've already sent people to verify the message from the Clear Sky Sect. That Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor can't escape the clutches of the Spirit Hall."
"Your ninth Soul Ring, I, Qian Xunji keep my word."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong finally raised her head.
Her delicate face showed no gratitude, only indifference.
I hope so.
On the other side.
After leaving the Pope's Palace, the siblings Qian Renchuan and Qian Renxue didn't linger for long.
He wandered straight back to the Spirit Academy.
Along the way.
Qian Renchuan remained silent.
Qian Renxue assumed her elder brother was in a bad mood, so she didn't speak first.
Unexpectedly, just as they entered the Spirit Academy, a burly figure suddenly darted over.
"Squad leader!"
He was the vice class monitor of the Second-Year Class.
Zhang Meng!
Seeing Zhang Meng's smug expression, Qian Renchuan didn't immediately acknowledge him. Instead, he smiled and turned to look at Qian Renxue beside him.
"Little sister, don't overthink what happened today."
"The coronation ceremony is still a few days away; let's discuss everything after the coronation ceremony."
After pursing her lips.
Qian Renxue didn't reply, but simply nodded and left.
Only after watching Qian Renxue's figure disappear into the distance did Qian Renchuan turn to look at Zhang Meng, signaling him to follow, before heading towards the Boys' Dormitory.
Zhang Meng quickly followed behind.
After walking for a while longer, Qian Renchuan casually asked, with his hands behind his head...
"You seem so excited; I've done what I asked you to do."
"Mmm."
Zhang Meng took half a step closer and quickly nodded.
"Squad leader, the person has been found!"
"Hehe, guess what? She's in my family's daycare center, just turned two and a half this year, almost three."
Although Zhang Meng's family wasn't considered a top-tier wealthy family in Spirit City, they had been operating for many years and had a wide-ranging business.
Among them were several families that specifically took in orphans from the city, as well as some families that took in the orphans of those who died in the line of duty at the Spirit Hall.
Take, for example, the siblings Xie Yue and Hu Liena from a while back.
If she hadn't met Qian Renchuan, she might have ended up in Zhang Meng's nursery.
He didn't awaken his Martial Soul until he was six years old.
