Bibi Dong Gets Angry
"What!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were startled; they didn't Qian Xunji's feeling.
Qian Xunji stepped forward, pulled the blanket over Lin Fan, and then picked up the Sea God's Heart that had fallen to the ground.
Qian Xunji replied in a deep voice, "Let's go back first!"
Yue Guan and the other person nodded and followed them out.
Back in the Pope's Palace.
Yue Guan spoke first, "Your Majesty, do you think Lin Fan has regained his eyes, or are those silver-gold eyes Lin Fan's Martial Soul?"
Qian Xunji thought, recalling the pair of eyes she had just seen.
Those silver-gold eyes were an incredibly complex six-pointed shape, seemingly possessing boundless magic. It was as if no secrets could be kept before those eyes.
Thinking of this, Qian Xunji still felt a little panicked.
Seeing that Qian Xunji remained silent, Gui Mei voiced his speculation. "Your Majesty, could it be that Yue Guan awakened an unknown Martial Soul due to the energy stimulation from the Sea God's Heart?"
Yue Guan agreed, "That's possible. I don't think I've ever heard of or seen Soul Master whose Martial Soul is their eyes. Besides, we all know Lin Fan's background; he's not from this world. It's understandable that he awakened abilities different from ours."
Gui Mei nodded. "That seems to make sense. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Qian Xunji snapped out of her daze and said, "Your guesses are all possible. We'll have to wait until Lin Fan recovers his eyesight to find out the specifics. There's no point in us speculating here."
"So, let's focus on our own tasks first. Yue Guan, arrange for the genius to enter the palace, go and do it quickly."
"As for Gui Mei, have your men secretly monitor Ning Fengzhi's movements at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Our recent actions have been quite ordinary in public, but Ning Fengzhi is an overly suspicious person, which will inevitably attract his attention. Therefore, we must know his movements as soon as possible."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope!"
The Gui Mei vanished from the hall immediately, but Yue Guan took two steps and turned back, saying, "Your Majesty!"
Qian Xunji asked urgently, "Yue Guan, is there anything else?"
Yue Guan said, "Should we inform the Saintess Lin Fan about Lin Fan's matter, or about the eyes as well?"
Qian Xunji said slowly, "If you want Dong'er to know, because of the matter of the Sea God's Heart, your Mental Power has been depleted again. You can tell Dong'er."
"On the condition that you say it was your idea, and you can't mention me or the Gui Mei."
Yue Guan was taken aback. Thinking of the seemingly harmless Bibi Dong, he shuddered and gave a bright smile.
"Never mind what I said!" Yue Guan turned and left quickly.
Seeing that the vast hall was empty, Qian Xunji leaned back weakly in her chair.
"Is this a warning? No, it will never happen again!"
Around 7 p. m., Lin Fan woke up from his sleep.
"How did I fall asleep?" Lin Fan sat up, looking puzzled.
"Lin Fan, you're such a sleepyhead," Bibi Dong said shortly after bringing dinner. "I told you to take a nap, but you slept the whole afternoon?"
"Dong'er," Lin Fan said helplessly, "I don't know either, how did I end up sleeping all afternoon?"
Lin Fan scratched his head and said, "I was supposed to have the gemstone the Village Chief found appraised."
"Gemstones? Appraisal?" Bibi Dong was taken aback when she heard this.
"Yes," Lin Fan explained, "It's a triangular pyramid-shaped gemstone. The Village Chief said it's blue, and I suspect it's a sapphire."
"But to be honest, I've never actually seen a natural triangular pyramidal sapphire before."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong knew that the sapphire Lin Fan mentioned was the Sea God's Heart.
Bibi Dong said calmly, "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Not long after you left, the Village Chief and the others returned."
Bibi Dong said, "I understand."
"Lin Fan, eat dinner when you wake up, it's not cold yet."
After saying that, Bibi Dong walked out.
Stepping outside, Bibi Dong arrived at the Pope's Palace somewhat angrily.
At this moment, only Qian Xunji in the Pope's Palace.
Qian Xunji asked quickly, "Dong'er, you're here. Did you bring dinner to Lin Fan?"
Bibi Dong said somewhat angrily, "Teacher, why did you make Lin Fan test the Sea God's Heart? Is it related to the fact that Lin Fan slept all afternoon?"
"The power of the Sea God's Heart was almost too much for my Mental Power to withstand; it even left Mental Power exhausted. How could I possibly let Lin Fan test it?"
"This!" Qian Xunji coughed slightly, feeling a little guilty. "Dong'er, Lin Fan is fine. The Sea God's Heart didn't react at all in his hands."
"Furthermore, don't forget, Lin Fan has never cultivated and doesn't know how to use Mental Power at all."
"As for him falling asleep, he was probably just very tired."
Bibi Dong asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Yes, didn't you just see Lin Fan?" Qian Xunji explained, "Did he look like he had something on his mind?"
Bibi Dong nodded. "That's good. Teacher, Lin Fan's eyes are still blind, so we can't try things recklessly. What if it stimulates his Mental Power?"
Qian Xunji said guiltily, "Alright, alright, Dong'er. Is your teacher the kind of person who doesn't know his place?"
Just then, Yue Guan and Gui Mei led more than fifty people into the main hall, easing Qian Xunji's emotions.
Seeing this, Qian Xunji breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Angry women are truly terrifying!"
"Angry, love-struck women are even more terrifying!"
"It's harder than coming up with a scheme."
Yue Guan arrived at the center of the hall and said, "Saintess, you've arrived too. Has your Mental Power recovered?"
"Hmph!" Bibi Dong snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Yue Guan scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong? Who angered the Saintess again?"
"Ahem!" Qian Xunji sat up straight and coughed lightly, saying, "Yue Guan, is everyone here?"
Yue Guan immediately said, "Apart from those cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, all the other geniuses between the ages of twelve and thirty, with Innate Soul Power of level seven or above, are here."
"Greetings, Your His Holiness the Pope! Greetings, Her Saintess Hall!" More than fifty people knelt on one knee, their voices resounding.
Qian Xunji said with a stern expression, "Get up, all of you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qian Xunji stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said, "I called you here today because you are all young talents of the Spirit Hall, and the successors who will protect the future of the Spirit Hall."
"That's how the world is. Geniuses always receive special treatment, and you are geniuses. So I have an opportunity to give you all. It's up to you to seize it."
At this point, Qian Xunji didn't hold back and took out the Sea God's Heart.
"This is the opportunity I'm giving you all: a token of Deity. Whoever gains the approval of this token will have the chance to become Deity."
"Of course, you are all the pride of the Spirit Hall. What happened today must not be revealed to a second person outside the Pope's Palace, not even your family, friends, or teachers."
"Otherwise, you will be punished for betraying the Spirit Hall. Am I clear?"
"Deity... opportunity!" Upon hearing the Deity," the eyes of these geniuses lit up. They were all young and vigorous, their eyes revealing a strong desire to win.
"We understand!"
