Keeping the Truth from Lin Fan

Bibi Dong continued, "Although it was unintentional on his part, he helped us a lot without us even realizing it."

"They told us about the future, the future of the Spirit Hall, and we even gained the opportunity to access the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"But we won't tell him the truth, otherwise he'll leave the yard. We won't let him know anything, and now we're also isolating his Mental Power."

"He still thinks we helped him, but actually he helped us."

Qian Xunji clearly saw the guilt on Bibi Dong's face.

He knew perfectly well that doing so was like treating Lin Fan like an ignorant bird, imprisoning him in a cage.

"Dong'er, how could I not know?" Qian Xunji said slowly, "Just like I said not long ago, his eyes haven't recovered yet. If we tell him now, he might get agitated and worsen his eye injury."

"So Dong'er, you must suppress your guilt towards him now and wait for his eyes to recover."

"Once his eyesight is restored and he sees us, we will tell him everything."

"At that time, we will do everything in our power to make it up to him and fulfill his needs."

"I wouldn't say I set up a mental isolation array for him, but at least it wouldn't do him any harm."

Bibi Dong continued, "Then how should we compensate him? Money? Gold Soul Coin?"

"Or perhaps it's Soul Bone, but he's not from this continent, so these things seem useless to him."

Qian Xunji smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Dong'er, everyone has their own favorite people and things. Why don't we start with what he likes?"

Bibi Dong was taken aback. "The people and things he likes? What does he like!"

Qian Xunji smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't guarantee anything about the others, but I know he definitely likes one thing."

"With this one he likes around, he'll definitely stay with our Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong said speechlessly, "Teacher, when did you become a riddle teller? I have no idea what Lin Fan likes?"

Qian Xunji said helplessly, "Dong'er, Lin Fan is right. You are usually very smart, but sometimes you can be quite confused."

"Don't forget what Lin Fan said when he first told us about the Douluo Continent. He said that Bibi Dong was one of his favorite characters."

"He dared to scold me, his teacher, to my face for your sake!"

Bibi Dong stammered, "Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about? Lin Fan thought it was a character from a novel, so it's possible he was just making things up."

Qian Xunji smiled and said, "If the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was his favorite person standing in front of him, do you think he would be overjoyed or terrified?"

"After all, the Pope Bibi Dong he had fantasized about for so long, was standing before him, and she was so beautiful."

"Will he say, ' Bibi Dong, you are even more beautiful than I imagined.'"

Bibi Dong's ears turned red as she said, "Teacher, how would I know what Lin Fan was thinking?"

"Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to bring him dinner."

"Hehe." Bibi Dong suppressed a laugh and ran briskly out of the Pope's Palace.

Qian Xunji watched Bibi Dong's departing figure and smiled helplessly, "You said Lin Fan was right, but he really is love-struck!"

Immediately afterwards, Qian Xunji came to Qian Daoliu again and conveyed Bibi Dong's suggestion.

At midnight that day, Qian Daoliu used his absolute power to set up Soul Power array that isolated the mind.

Unless Lin Fan's Mental Power reaches the level of Qian Daoliu, Lin Fan Mental Power will not be able to penetrate this layer of Soul Power isolation.

Five days until the wedding.

People dressed as outsiders began to gradually enter Spirit City.

There was nothing special about it; I was there to attend the Pope's wedding.

Qian Xunji ordered, "First, send bishops to the city gates to strictly verify the identities of visitors and register their information immediately."

"Secondly, increase patrols and strengthen security in the city. Any visiting Soul Master who causes trouble in the city, regardless of their faction or family, will be immediately expelled."

"Third, book the two largest hotels, and replace the guards with the Spirit Hall's Hall Guard Knights, so that visitors can stay with peace of mind, demonstrating the style and hospitality expected of the Spirit Hall."

Since it concerned the Pope of the Spirit Hall's wedding of the century, all the members of the Spirit Hall were mobilized.

If anything is not done well, it will not only damage the Pope's prestige, but also the honor of the Spirit Hall.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei have been incredibly busy these past two days, appearing in every corner of the city at any moment.

Outside, things were bustling with activity, but inside Lin Fan's residence...

Bibi Dong and Lin Fan were completely at ease, and no one came to disturb them.

Lin Fan asked curiously, "Dong'er, is the Village Chief's wedding about to start? I haven't come over to chat for the past few days. Judging by the time, there should only be a few days left, right?"

Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Yes, after I finish massaging your head, I have to go help out this afternoon."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Then, Dong'er, can I attend the wedding banquet on the wedding day?"

"Although I can't see now, my hearing is getting more and more acute, so I can use my ears to tell how lively the scene is."

"No way!" Bibi Dong blurted out.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong regretted it; she had rejected him too quickly.

Lin Fan asked, puzzled, "No? Is there some taboo against it?"

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes, there are taboos."

She quickly thought of the Angel God statue, "The wedding will be held in our village's ancestral hall, which outsiders are absolutely not allowed to go."

"So Lin Fan, it's not that I don't want you to go, it's that I'm afraid to. If you go, don't blame me, even though the teacher is the Village Chief, there are still the old Village Chief and clan elders above him. So he might also be implicated."

Hearing Bibi Dong's reply, Lin Fan could only say somewhat disappointedly, "Fine, I understand. I know that remote, ancient villages still maintain their own beliefs and culture."

"I can't let my actions break the village rules. The Village Chief has been so good to me, and my behavior caused his wedding to fail. I can't shirk my responsibility."

Bibi Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, I managed to fool them. Sigh, I feel so guilty."

Bibi Dong could only reply, "Lin Fan, I'm sorry, but some of the village elders have very strong traditional values, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to stay here."

Lin Fan quickly waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright, you don't need to apologize. I've already caused you a lot of trouble."

"But Dong'er, don't forget what we talked about before, about my gift-giving."

Bibi Dong replied, "I haven't forgotten. I'll secretly give it to the teacher, and the teacher will understand your intentions once she receives it."

"Alright, that concludes today's massage. I need to go help the teacher now, so you can rest here and relax."

Lin Fan nodded. "Go ahead."

Bibi Dong walked out of the room, letting out a sigh of relief and thinking to herself, "It would have been better to let Ah Yin take care of me; I really couldn't keep up the act any longer."

Bibi Dong left Lin Fan's residence and walked along the corridor leading to the Pope's Palace. Yue Guan quickly came to greet her.

"Your Saintess Hall, Yu Xiaogang has entered the city."

"Yu Xiaogang, you came by yourself?"

"I came by myself."

Bibi Dong revealed a cold smile, "Perfect timing, just what I needed. Time to vent my anger!"
