Bibi Dong's Mischievous Idea

It was several days later when the Gui Mei returned to the Spirit Hall with the map.

"Old Ghost, you're finally back." Yue Guan spotted the Gui Mei's figure immediately and went to greet him.

The Gui Mei ignored Yue Guan and bowed to Qian Xunji, saying, "Your His Holiness the Pope, I have returned to report!"

Qian Xunji became interested and asked, "How was it?"

The Gui Mei produced a map and said, "Your Majesty, these are Soul Master from Sea God Island. Upon hearing that it's the Spirit Hall, they didn't resist much and obediently handed over the map."

Bibi Dong walked over and said, "So smoothly? Shouldn't they be on their guard?"

The Gui Mei said, "It seems that Sea God Island isn't afraid of our Spirit Hall going to Sea God Island."

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "Such confidence, it seems Sea God Island truly has something to offer."

Qian Xunji approached the Gui Mei and took the map, saying, "It seems Lin Fan was right. According to the plot of the novel, the Spirit Hall has no chance against us at sea."

"With a level 99 Peerless Douluo, seven Titled Douluo, and even the divine power of the Sea God Deity on the island, we certainly can't just mindlessly send people to attack them like in the novels."

"And..."

Qian Xunji paused for a moment, then spread the map out on the table, and the others gathered around to examine it.

Qian Xunji pointed to one of the locations and said, "Moreover, the depth of our own doorstep is marked so clearly on the map. Either they're confident, or they simply don't take us seriously."

Bibi Dong stared at the map and said, "Teacher, the direction is west of Vast Sea City. Ask Gui Mei how long it takes to get to Sea God Island by boat."

The Gui Mei said, "About ten to fifteen days."

Yue Guan spoke up, "Should we send someone to communicate? Judging from what Gui Mei said, Sea God Island is probably short of supplies. Could we use supplies as leverage to get them to agree that our people will participate in the Sea God Island Divine Trial examination and that they won't detain our people?"

Bibi Dong agreed, "Elder Yue Guan is right. Lin Fan said that those who participate in the assessment will join Sea God Island, but we can use resources as a condition for exchange."

"The most important point is that they guard the Sea God Godhood on Sea God Island. What is their purpose? Isn't it so that someone can inherit the Divine Position and then they can be freed?"

Qian Xunji nodded and said, "Very good, let's do it that way. Send someone to negotiate with Sea God Island, but who should we send?"

Yue Guan said, "Your Majesty, no matter who goes, it's their first trip to Sea God Island, and we can't let them look down on the Spirit Hall. Therefore, there must be at least five elders, plus two retainers!"

The Gui Mei nodded and said, "Agreed!"

Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong and asked, "Dong'er, who do you think should be the leader?"

Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Grand Worshipper."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei looked at her in surprise. "What!"

Qian Xunji was taken aback. "Why?"

Bibi Dong laughed and said, "What else could it be? Didn't Lin Fan say that the Grand Worshipper would pursue Bo Saixi, the Grand Worshipper on Sea God Island?"

"Furthermore, the Grand Worshipper's strength is roughly equal to that of the other side, which is why the Grand Worshipper Grand Worshipper led the charge, making the Spirit Hall's conditions take them seriously."

After listening to Bibi Dong's analysis, Qian Xunji revealed a strange smile.

Qian Xunji thought to herself, "Something's not right! What if my father really succeeds? Won't I end up with a stepmother?"

"And what if I accidentally have a younger brother or sister? What will my children be then?"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei remained silent, only staring intently at Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji.

"The Saintess is up to her tricks again."

"Yeah, it is quite strange."

Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Teacher, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Qian Xunji coughed lightly, then realized what she meant and said, "Ahem, Dong'er, your suggestion is excellent!"

"You're right. Only when strength is equal can there be equal negotiations. I'm going to find my father."

Immediately, Qian Xunji put away the map and headed straight for the Worship Hall.

Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu sighed inwardly, "Tang Chen has finally gone back."

He found it impossible to look Tang Chen in the eye anymore, because Tang Chen had been looking at him with suspicion for the past two days.

It gave him the creeps, and it took Qian Daoliu two days to recover.

He adjusted his mindset and sat down to meditate, while Qian Xunji walked into the Worship Hall.

"Your son greets Father!" Qian Xunji stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

Qian Daoliu opened his eyes. "Ji'er, what is it?"

Qian Xunji stated directly, "We've found the Sea God Island that Lin Fan mentioned earlier."

Qian Daoliu asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed," Qian Xunji said. "I have the map, so I discussed it with Bibi Dong, and we plan to send someone to Sea God Island to negotiate."

Qian Daoliu nodded and asked, "What about the Sea God's Heart?"

Qian Xunji said, "We are still in talks with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Besides, I think that the Grand Worshipper on Sea God Island may not know that the Heaven Dou Empire's Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is the Sea God's Heart."

"Therefore, there's no need to bring the Heart Sea God's Heart the Sea God's Heart to Sea God Island this time, and there's even less need to mention it in front of them."

Qian Daoliu said, "Alright. So, which elder from the Worship Hall do you plan to have lead the way to Sea God Island?"

Qian Xunji smiled and said, "There's no one else but you, Father."

"Me?" Qian Daoliu out and slapped Qian Xunji on the head. "You little brat, do you think you're the future father of the Angel God and you're getting cocky with me?"

"I'm your father, how dare you order me around?"

"Father, how could I dare? Please let me finish." Qian Xunji said speechlessly.

"You forgot Lin Fan's words, that you would meet the Grand Worshipper of Sea God Island and pursue her."

"Moreover, the other party is Peerless Douluo. Only with your intervention can the Spirit Hall negotiate with Sea God Island on an equal footing and exchange terms."

Qian Daoliu was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then slowly said, "What you said makes some sense."

He asked curiously, "Now that you mention it, it does pique my curiosity why I would pursue a woman in my later years."

Qian Xunji smiled, "That's right, so Father, you're the most suitable person to lead the first negotiation."

Qian Daoliu asked, "What conditions do you want to exchange with Sea God Island?"

Qian Xunji immediately explained their proposal: to obtain the Divine Trial of Sea God Island in exchange for resources.

The Divine Trial on Sea God Island will be used to enhance the strength of the Spirit Hall's geniuses.

After listening, Qian Daoliu said, "Okay, I'll go whether it works out or not. Anyway, you just got married, there's no need for you to stay here all the time."

Qian Xunji immediately said, "Alright, then I'll purchase a batch of supplies in the city as a welcoming gift for our first visit to Sea God Island, to show them our sincerity."

Qian Xunji immediately withdrew from the Worship Hall and soon ordered Yue Guan to procure supplies.

Qian Daoliu sat down in meditation again. "Grand Worshipper of the Sea God, interesting. I'd like to see what this Grand Worshipper is like."

"I was made to pursue Tang Chen at the same time, and I still lost out."

"My sense of humor should be better than Tang Chen's cultivation maniac status."

Qian Daoliu felt a little resentful.
