Bibi Dong Asked to Come Along? A Chance to Take a Disciple!

That afternoon, by the river.

Bibi Dong brought over some pastries and, seeing that Yu Xiaogang couldn't suppress the smile on his face, couldn't help but ask, "What good news is happening today?"

"My Soul Power has broken through to level 20." Yu Xiaogang turned around and told her this news.

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled and said, "Then shouldn't you be preparing your Second Soul Ring?"

"Yes, the teacher is going to take me to the Star Dou Great Forest."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused, "Therefore, I'm afraid I won't be able to cultivate with you for the next few days."

Bibi Dong stopped opening the paper package, glanced at the boy, and suddenly asked, "Who says it can't?"

Yu Xiaogang was slightly taken aback.

Bibi Dong handed him the paper package and smiled, "I'll go with you, isn't that fine?"

Are you going too?

"What, you don't want to?"

"Of course not," Yu Xiaogang quickly shook his head, explaining, "It's just that there are many dangers in the Forest, and I was afraid of delaying your business."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but laugh.

"I've almost finished dealing with things here, so taking a few days off shouldn't be difficult. Besides, haven't you forgotten to ask what level of Soul Power I have now?"

Yu Xiaogang then realized what was happening.

Although the two of them have been cultivating together these days, Bibi Dong has mostly been helping him practice controlling the Sanpao, and hasn't really mentioned her own level.

What level?

Level 49.

Bibi Dong answered naturally, but Yu Xiaogang was stunned.

Level 49?

He had only just reached the threshold of Soul Grandmaster, yet the girl before him was already Soul Ancestor, just one step away from level fifty!

Looking at his expression, Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Now you believe I can help, right? I can also help you find a suitable Soul Beast for your Second Soul Ring."

Yu Xiaogang gripped the paper package tightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously, "I need to ask the teacher about this first."

"Then I'll go ask him." Bibi Dong nodded and said, "If he agrees, I'll come to see you tomorrow morning and also meet your teacher."

Evening, in the courtyard.

After listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, Li Qingshan put down his teacup, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"She offered to go hunting for Soul Ring with you?"

"Yes." Yu Xiaogang nodded, then added, "She said she has level 49 Soul Power and can be of help."

After saying that, he looked at Li Qingshan with a hint of expectation in his expression.

Li Qingshan found it amusing, but he already had a plan in mind.

He had been considering how to contact Bibi Dong, but now that she was willing to come along, he was saved the trouble of finding another opportunity.

The process of hunting for Soul Ring will allow her to understand his own abilities and also see if there is anything in her cultivation that is worth guiding her on.

As for accepting apprentices, we still cannot rush it.

Bibi Dong already has a master; it's impossible for her to switch allegiances after just a few words. It's best to get to know her better before making any plans.

Thinking of this, Li Qingshan slowly nodded.

"Okay, let's take her with us."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately lit up.

"Teacher, you agree?"

"Didn't you already hear that?" Li Qingshan laughed. "But tell her beforehand that once we enter the Forest, I'll take care of everything, and she can't wander off on her own."

"I will go and tell her right away!"

Watching the boy walk quickly out of the courtyard gate, Li Qingshan shook his head slightly, but a smile still remained on his face.

The following morning.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the inn.

Dugu Bo handed over the prepared dry rations and medicine packet, then looked at Li Qingshan and said, "Teacher, this disciple will not accompany you this time."

"Xin'er still needs to take her medicine every day, so I'll stay and take care of her. That way, I can feel more at ease."

Li Qingshan nodded slightly and said:

"His recuperation cannot be interrupted, so you can stay here without worry. This trip is only to find Xiao Gang's Second Soul Ring; you don't need to all come along."

As he spoke, he looked at Ah Yin standing to the side.

"You should stay in the courtyard and continue to familiarize yourself with the methods of Soul Power circulation that I have taught you. If you encounter any problems, ask your second senior brother."

Ah Yin nodded in agreement.

"Disciple understands."

She subconsciously touched the jade box tucked inside her clothes, then handed a small cloth bag to Yu Xiaogang.

"Senior brother, these are leftover snacks from yesterday. You can eat them on the way."

Yu Xiaogang accepted it and thanked him with a smile.

Just then, a figure in light purple walked briskly from the other end of the street.

Bibi Dong changed into a pair of boots that were easier to walk in, and she also tucked her sleeves into her clothes neatly. Her long golden hair shone softly in the morning light.

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang beside the carriage, she first smiled before turning her gaze to the young man in blue standing next to him.

Am I late?

"No, that's perfect." Yu Xiaogang stepped forward, then turned and introduced, "This is my teacher, Li Qingshan."

Bibi Dong paused slightly.

These days, she has heard Yu Xiaogang mention the teacher many times.

She had assumed that the person who was able to find medicinal herbs and refine pills for her disciple, and even provide guidance on that special Detached Martial Soul, must be at least an older person.

But the young man in front of them looked to be only about twenty years old.

Li Qingshan seemed to notice her surprise and smiled, "What's wrong? It's not what I expected?"

Bibi Dong snapped out of her daze and quickly bowed, saying:

"Junior Bibi Dong greets Senior. I've heard Xiao Gang mention you many times, but today I finally have the opportunity to pay my respects in person."

She had witnessed Yu Xiaogang's transformation firsthand, and the Golden Sacred Dragon was indeed real; naturally, she wouldn't be impolite just because he was young.

Li Qingshan nodded slightly and said, "You've taken good care of Xiao Gang these past few days, accompanying him in his cultivation."

"We practiced together, so it wasn't anything special," Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Xiaogang and smiled, "But he taught me quite a bit too."

Yu Xiaogang's ears burned slightly, and he quickly explained, "Those were all taught to me by my teacher."

"If you've learned it, then you've learned it. There's no need to push all the blame onto your teacher."

Li Qingshan pointed to the carriage.

"Now that everyone's here, let's set off. We'll talk about anything else along the way."

Bibi Dong responded and boarded the carriage one after the other with Yu Xiaogang.

Li Qingshan then explained a few more details about the medication to Dugu Bo before getting into the car and sitting down.

The Coachman raised the reins, and the wheels slowly began to turn.

Dugu Xin stood beside his father, waved vigorously, and laughed, "Uncle-Master, when you come back, let me see Sanpao's new skills!"

Yu Xiaogang lifted the car curtain and nodded with a smile.

The carriage left Coconut Grove City and headed along the Official Road towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the other side.

Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

The heavy palace doors slowly opened, and a deacon from the Spirit Hall strode in, bowed before the steps, and presented a secret letter.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, a message from Coconut Grove City."

On the high seat, Qian Xunji slowly raised her head.

"From Dong'er's side?"

"Yes, it's related to the saintess."

Qian Xunji took the envelope, tore off the seal, and unfolded the letter inside.

At first, his expression didn't change much, but after reading the first few lines, he gradually stopped turning the pages of the letter.

It was clearly written in the secret report.

In recent days, the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong has been frequently seen with a young man surnamed Yu. The two not only travel together, but also often cultivate by the river.

The boy's name was Yu Xiaogang, and he had just reached level 20. He was accompanied by a young teacher.

At the end of the letter, there was a newly added line of text.

The saintess already planned to go out with him to hunt for Soul Ring.

Qian Xunji's gaze lingered on that line for a moment before he looked down again and whispered:

"Quickly investigate this Yu Xiaogang, and his teacher... what are their backgrounds?"
