Chihiro Doriu and the Offerings Were Utterly Disappointed

"No! That's not true!"

Hearing Qian Xunji dismiss Yu Xiaogang as worthless, Bibi Dong grew anxious and hurriedly explained in a loud voice.

"Xiaogang isn't like what you said at all. His Innate Soul Power may be a little low, and his martial soul may be a little weak."

"But he works very hard. He's also incredibly talented in Spirit Theory, kind-hearted, and cares deeply about commoners."

"The Spirit Theories he proposed were all meant to help the commoner Spirit Masters of the Spirit Master world."

"Is someone only considered outstanding if they have powerful talent and strength?"

Works very hard?

Qian Xunji could not help but sneer.

Her words reminded him of his previous life.

The geigeis online had worked very hard too!

Although Qian Xunji did not like those geigeis online, he had to admit that they might truly have put in effort.

But he had not seen even the slightest trace of effort from Yu Xiaogang.

If Yu Xiaogang had truly worked hard, would he have proposed things like the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul and the Soul Ring Absorption Limit Theory?

Such utterly worthless, loophole-riddled theories that could get people killed.

And after leaving Spirit City, would he have accomplished nothing for decades?

As for talent?

Qian Xunji merely smiled without saying a word.

After hearing both Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, Chihiro Doriu and the others were not like the naive, innocent, love-struck, easily fooled Bibi Dong.

They were all advanced in years and had seen countless people and things.

Just from Qian Xunji's words, Chihiro Doriu and the Offerings had more or less seen Yu Xiaogang's true nature.

A useless child who had suffered discrimination and ridicule in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had always desperately sought a method for Martial Soul Evolution.

His coming to Spirit Hall had been for that purpose as well.

Yu Xiaogang had definitely approached Bibi Dong with ulterior motives!

Most likely, he had targeted Bibi Dong because of her identity as the Saintess of Spirit Hall.

He hoped to obtain a method for Martial Soul Evolution from Spirit Hall through Bibi Dong.

As for Bibi Dong's claim that Yu Xiaogang was talented and kind, after hearing Qian Xunji mention a few of the theories Yu Xiaogang had proposed, Chihiro Doriu and the Offerings of the Worship Hall all went speechless, their faces darkening.

What the hell was this?

Innate Soul Power was directly proportional to martial soul strength, martial souls were divided into two main categories—beast martial souls and tool martial souls—and every Spirit Master had a development path...

Wasn't that just common knowledge and nonsense?

And he called that theory?

As for the Soul Ring Absorption Limit Theory—

Wasn't it simply taking the Soul Ring age data recorded by Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters at each breakthrough realm, selecting the highest value for every realm, putting them together, and calling it a theory?

Wasn't that just deceiving people?

Chihiro Doriu and the Offerings knew perfectly well that Spirit Masters with different martial souls and development paths could possess vastly different physical qualities even at the same rank.

How could a single Soul Ring absorption figure possibly serve as a standard?

If a Support-type Spirit Master followed the figures in that Soul Ring Absorption Limit Theory to absorb a Soul Ring, they would probably suffer Body Explosion and Death on the spot!

As for the claim that Yu Xiaogang cared about commoner Spirit Masters and had therefore proposed these common-sense Spirit Theories, Chihiro Doriu and the Offerings found it even more hypocritical and laughable.

Any commoner Spirit Master who attended a Soul Master Academy would more or less learn this common knowledge.

None of it was profound in the slightest!

If Yu Xiaogang truly cared about commoner Spirit Masters, then he should have contributed the Spirit Power Meditation Method and Thunder Body Forging Technique inherited by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Using the so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul and Soul Ring Absorption Limit Theory—two theories that were nothing but nonsense—to glorify himself was sheer hypocrisy!

"Dong Er, perhaps you've misunderstood Ji'er!"

Since he still did not know Bibi Dong's current state of mind, Chihiro Doriu patiently tried to make her understand.

Yu Xiaogang had approached her with ulterior motives.

The Spirit Theories he proposed were also merely common knowledge and nonsense, not theories at all.

As for Yu Xiaogang himself, he was a deeply calculating, hypocritical, shameless petty man and a useless waste.

He was not a suitable match at all.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

But the moment Chihiro Doriu said that Yu Xiaogang had approached her with ulterior motives, Bibi Dong became incomparably agitated.

"Xiaogang and I met while reading in the library."

"He was always reading in the library. How could he possibly have deliberately approached me?"

Chihiro Doriu was speechless.

So what if he had always been reading in the library?

There were plenty of people reading in the library.

Why did he not get to know anyone else, yet specifically get to know her and become friends with her?

Unfortunately, no matter how Chihiro Doriu analyzed or explained things to Bibi Dong, she remained single-mindedly stubborn and refused to believe him.

She only believed that her meeting with Yu Xiaogang had been a match ordained by heaven.

They were a perfect match made in heaven!

At the side, Qian Xunji nearly laughed out loud.

Old Man! Old Man, so you have this day too!

Chihiro Doriu was a kind old man and gentleman in public, but he had always been a strict father before the original owner of this body.

Seeing Chihiro Doriu so helpless now made Qian Xunji immensely pleased.

Did he think a love-struck, paranoid person like Bibi Dong could be persuaded normally?

"Dong Er, putting aside why Yu Xiaogang approached you."

"His Spirit Theory does not qualify as theory at all."

"He merely plagiarized knowledge from Spirit Hall's library, gathered it together in a simplistic manner, and claimed it as his own."

"But these theories have serious problems."

Chihiro Doriu patiently pointed out each and every flaw in Yu Xiaogang's Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.

He also explained the problems with the Soul Ring Absorption Limit Theory.

The many Offerings nearby joined in as well, raising the issues they had noticed.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong still stubbornly clung to her own beliefs and refused to trust anyone.

She even looked utterly disappointed as she said, "Grandfather Chi, Grandfathers of the Offerings, it seems I misjudged you too."

"You're actually the kind of people who only care about a Spirit Master's talent and strength."

"Because of Xiaogang's martial soul and Innate Soul Power, you look down on him and discriminate against him too."

Chihiro Doriu and the Offerings instantly felt as sick as if they had swallowed flies.

What?

Who were they, and who was Yu Xiaogang?

A useless waste as hypocritical, shameless, and incompetent as him was not even worthy of their notice.

How could he possibly be worthy of them looking down on or discriminating against him?

"Father, uncles, do you understand now?"

"It isn't that I insisted on crippling her cultivation, sealing her memories, and extracting her Soul Bone."

"She brought all this upon herself. She insisted on leaving Spirit Hall and going with that useless Yu Xiaogang. No one could persuade her otherwise."

"But Yu Xiaogang is from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. What she wants to do is nothing less than betraying Spirit Hall!"

"Father, you should know perfectly well how the great empires, kingdoms, duchies, Spirit Master clans, and Spirit Master sects across the continent punish traitors."

"The fact that I chose not to kill her is already the utmost mercy!"

Seeing that Chihiro Doriu and the others had also become completely disappointed in Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji finally stepped forward again, a mocking sneer on his lips.

Chihiro Doriu did not answer. He merely looked at Bibi Dong with disappointment and sighed as he asked, "Dong Er, after everything we've said, are you truly unwilling to believe even a single word?"

"If we refuse to let you be with Yu Xiaogang—"

"Do you truly intend to leave Spirit Hall and elope with him?"

"Believe you?"

Bibi Dong was filled with indignation. Clenching her delicate fists, she looked as though she had suffered an enormous injustice and said emotionally, "How am I supposed to believe you?"

"Everything you've said is nothing but looking down on Xiaogang and discriminating against him."

"But Xiaogang isn't that kind of person at all."

"I think Grandfather Chi and the rest of you are just like Qian Xunji. You only chose to accept me into Spirit Hall and treat me so well because you valued my talent!"

"But in truth, you only act this way because I'm useful to Spirit Hall."

"In reality, you don't care about my happiness at all!"

His heart had gone cold. Completely cold!

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Chihiro Doriu immediately became disheartened and laughed bitterly at himself.

He felt that he truly had been blind.

All this time, he had treated an ungrateful, selfish White-Eyed Wolf as his own granddaughter.

Ridiculous!

It was utterly ridiculous!

If word got out, he, Chihiro Doriu, would lose all face!

The expressions of the Offerings beside him were also extremely unsightly, their eyes filled with disappointment.

But Bibi Dong still did not know that her ungrateful and selfish actions had utterly disappointed the only group of people who could help her.

Because Chihiro Doriu and the Offerings had not changed their attitude toward her.

Unlike Qian Xunji.

For a long time, Bibi Dong had grown accustomed to the kindness Qian Xunji, Chihiro Doriu, and the Offerings showed her.

She had grown accustomed to never being forced and to everyone yielding to her.

This time, she believed Qian Xunji was the only exception.

But Qian Xunji was Chihiro Doriu's son and the junior of the Offerings.

As long as Chihiro Doriu and the Offerings stood on her side, Qian Xunji could only obediently let her leave and let her be with Yu Xiaogang.

She believed that as long as she threw a little tantrum this time, Chihiro Doriu and the others would still have no choice but to agree with her.

But unfortunately, this time was different!

"Ji'er, this time, you did the right thing."

"Leave everything to you. Decide how to handle it yourself!"

After becoming utterly disappointed in Bibi Dong, Chihiro Doriu fell silent for a moment before speaking to Qian Xunji.

Then, overwhelmed by sorrow, he no longer wanted to see Bibi Dong.

He turned and drifted toward the Angel Holy Hall in the Worship Hall's area of Douluo Hall.

The Offerings also silently chose to leave one after another.

Only Qian Xunji remained standing where he was.

This time, Bibi Dong truly panicked.

"Grandfather Chi, Grandfathers of the Offerings, why are you leaving?"

But Qian Xunji merely gave a mocking sneer and said coldly, "Bibi Dong, as Pope, I hereby declare that your position as the Saintess of Spirit Hall has been revoked for the Crime of Heresy."

"And I will punish you by crippling your cultivation, sealing your memories, and removing your Soul Bone!"
