Late at night, the stars are hidden in the clouds, and the entire Spirit City seems to be shrouded in darkness and gray.ඏ🌷 🐸💀
Tian Chen was sitting on the conical spire on the top floor of the castle, looking at the tall Pope's Palace not far away, with bitterness in his eyes.
The top of the tower was about a hundred meters away from the ground, and the gentle evening breeze became fierce here. His golden, medium-length hair was blowing in the wind, and was messily scattered on his shoulders, but he had no intention of arranging it.
It is undeniable that the main responsibility for things developing to this point still lies with him.
He did not go to see Hu Liena, nor did he go to see Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Although his heart was very confused, he did not lose his mind to the extent that I could not see the current situation clearly.
He knew very well that whether it was Hu Liena or Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, they would never be able to let go of their grudges before he made a decision.
"Grandpa, you're here." Suddenly Tian Chen slowly turned sideways and looked at the spire of another conical tower on the right.
Tian E, who was dressed in a golden robe, had been standing there quietly for some time, with his hands behind his back. Like Tian Chen, he was also looking at the brightly lit Pope's Palace in front of him.
"Chen'er, your condition is better than I thought." Tian E smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ ♥
He thought Tian Chen would sink into this for a while, but in fact he was overly worried. Looking at his only grandson, Tian E's eyes were filled with joy. In the past fifteen years, Tian Chen has never let him down.
Tian Chen took out a piece of satin embroidered with gold thread from Soul Tool and tied up her mid-length hair behind her, revealing her handsome face with sharp edges.
His eyes were calm and unruffled, so that no one could see anything strange at all.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of things."
"Yeah." Tian E responded helplessly, and after pondering for a moment, he continued: Bibi Dong announced before that the successor of the next pope will be decided in four years."
"The heir to the next pope?" Tian Chen frowned slightly. This news came too suddenly. But when he noticed his grandfather's meaningful gaze, he understood it instantly.
"Is it related to Nana?"
"The choice of the next pope's successor is between you and Nana. After four years of the meeting, we will let you have a public one-on-one Soul Fighting in front of the Pope's Palace. The winner will be Spirit Hall's successor as the next pope." Tian E sighed, the news had already spread, and even if he wanted to stop it, it was too late.
However, he is not worried that his grandson cannot win Hu Liena, but he is worried that this Soul Fighting will completely break the fate between Tian Chen and Hu Liena.😾🐺 ൠ✌
Tian Chen laughed at himself, "This should have been suggested by Nana. This is in line with Nana's character."
Behind him and Hu Liena, they represented Worshipper Faction and Pope Faction respectively. He had to accept this bet even if he no longer wanted to accept it.
Tian Chen stood up slowly, looked at Tian E and said seriously, "Grandpa, I am going to practice in seclusion for a period of time at Death Canyon."
"You can make your own decision." Tian E flashed to Tian Chen's side. The grandfather and grandson smiled at each other and landed in the flower garden in front of the castle.
In the south of the flowerbed, the Blue Silver King is shining with blue Youyou. The crystal on the rhizome is like dewdrops. As the vines grow Entanglement And Zandong. Surrounding this thousand-year-old Blue Silver King is a large field of crabapple flowers of different colors, which Tian Chen specially bought for Ye Lingling.
Grandfather and grandson walked side by side in the flower garden path. That night, they chatted for a long time, and then they dispersed when they saw a burst of white fish belly appearing in the sky.
At the same time, in a majestic hall of the Pope's Palace.
"Nana, have you really thought it through?" Bibi Dong sat at the head of the hall, quietly looking at Hu Liena who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.
Hu Liena's eyes were slightly red and he nodded firmly, "Teacher, if I can't make a breakthrough, how can I be his opponent in four years? For your big plan, I am willing to take risks."
Bibi Dong's face softened a lot, and a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
Looking at Hu Liena in front of her, it reminded her of her innocent self.
"Why are our destinies so similar?" Bibi Dong closed her beautiful eyes and murmured in her heart.
"Nana, actually you don't need to do this. It's not difficult to make those two little girls disappear from his side, so why bother yourself. If you go there to exercise, even if your bloodline is awakened, you may not be able to come back."
Hu Liena's eyes flashed with light, and he clenched and unclenched his hands. After hesitating for a long time, he still shook his head, "No, teacher, you must not do this. In fact, I have already thought about going to Slaughter City to practice. Even if this thing doesn't happen, I will apply to you soon. Do you still remember? Remember what I said to you when you adopted me and my brother when I was young? I said that I wanted to become the second female pope of the Spirit Hall. If I lose to him four years later, how can I be worthy of your teachings? I hope that wherever I go this time, you will not send anyone to protect me, and I will definitely come back."
At this time, there was no seductive look on her face, but only unparalleled determination.
Looking at the pure-minded disciple in front of him, Bibi Dong shook his head and showed a self-deprecating smile.
After being silent for a long time, she reached out and pulled Hu Liena up from the ground. As someone who had been there, she still didn't know what her disciple was thinking.
Whether as a teacher or the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she has no reason to stop it.
"Okay, I agree with you to go, but you have to remember that you must come back alive. This is the task the teacher has given you, and it is also a requirement for you. Do you understand?"
Staring at Bibi Dong's soft beautiful eyes, the corners of Hu Liena's eyes became a little more crystal clear, and he nodded vigorously. "Teacher, I can do it."
Bibi Dong raised her hand, and a ring on her hand shone brightly. When she turned her palm over, there was already a white skull in her hand.
"Absorb it before leaving. This piece of Soul Bone is no worse than that piece of Wisdom Skull, take it. After absorbing this piece of Soul Bone, plus the External Soul Bone and that left leg bone you just got, you can better protect yourself there."
Hu Liena was not pretentious. He took the piece of Soul Bone with both hands and looked through the window sideways at the luxurious castle in the manor not far away.
Her eyes were wandering, and she didn't know what she was thinking. It wasn't until Bibi Dong spoke again that she came back to her senses, bowed respectfully, and exited the hall.
She didn't know why she did this, but one thing was certain, Tian Chen's deception created an insurmountable gap in their relationship.
