"Hahaha, I have a mom now! My mom is the Pope! I can throw my weight around wherever I want!"
Qian Renxing immediately cheered up.
The Pope should be pretty powerful, right? He should be able to throw his weight around wherever he wanted, right?
"Yes, Your Highness the Holy Son, your mother is His Holiness the Pope. You can throw your weight around wherever you want!!"
Sisi seemed a little excited.
Her dimwitted Holy Son had actually started showing a little understanding of things. He even knew that his mother was the Pope and that he could throw his weight around!
"Mm, I already knew that. You don't need to remind me."
Qian Renxing felt his head itching a little, as though he were about to grow a brain. "Oh, right, do I also have a grandpa?"
Sisi replied respectfully, "Your Highness the Holy Son, your grandfather is nicknamed Invincible in the Sky. He is the Great Enshrined and hall master of the Elder Hall, as well as the former Adjudication Elder of Spirit Hall. He no longer concerns himself with worldly affairs."
"Oh, oh, I remember now. My grandpa is the Great Enshrined, Invincible in the Sky."
Qian Renxing was delighted again.
His grandpa was the Great Enshrined, which sounded impressive enough, and his name was even Invincible in the Sky. With such a badass name, he definitely couldn't be weak!
But a moment later, Qian Renxing grew anxious again. "Wait, why is my grandpa called Invincible in the Sky while I'm called Qian Renxing? Shouldn't I be called Qian Renwudi?"
"Tell me, was I picked up off the street?"
Qian Renxing was so anxious that sweat poured from his forehead, and his back was already drenched. He wasn't their biological child!
Having discovered this great secret, he looked utterly panicked.
Even he knew the consequences of not being their biological child. If he wasn't, he definitely couldn't be the Holy Son anymore.
After all, who would let a dimwit become the Holy Son? He was very clever!
"Your Highness the Holy Son, your grandfather is called Qian Daoliu, not Invincible in the Sky. You are the legitimate biological son of His Holiness Pope Bibi Dong and His Holiness the former Pope Qian Xunji, and the biological grandson of the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu. That is also why you became the Holy Son."
Sisi hurriedly explained. There was no doubt that Qian Renxing was their biological child. Otherwise, how could a dimwit have become the Holy Son of Spirit Hall?!
"You look very much like His Holiness Qian Xunji and the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu, and you also look very much like His Holiness Bibi Dong. There is no doubt that you are their biological child."
As Sisi spoke, her gaze involuntarily settled on Qian Renxing's face.
The boy was only ten, yet his looks were already otherworldly. His features were exquisitely refined beyond belief, his skin as delicate as white mutton-fat jade, and his youthful face was extraordinarily handsome. He was simply a masterpiece of heaven!
"Oh, oh, I remember now. My grandpa is called Qian Daoliu. He has the same surname as me."
Qian Renxing breathed a sigh of relief at her words.
He remembered now. He was their biological child, and he immediately cheered up. "Right, I'm a dimwit! The only reason I became the Holy Son is that I'm their biological child!"
"If I weren't their biological child, I definitely couldn't be the Holy Son. But the reason I became the Holy Son is that I'm their biological child, so I am their biological child!!"
Sisi sucked in a breath. "Hiss, Your Highness the Holy Son, how did you become so clever?!"
Sisi truly felt that her dimwitted Holy Son had become cleverer. The Holy Son had never been this logical before!
"I've always been clever, okay? Do you think I'm a dimwit?!"
Qian Renxing immediately objected.
But the moment those words left his mouth, he cried inwardly, Oh no! He couldn't let anyone learn the secret that he wasn't actually a dimwit.
"Sisi, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone I'm clever! Otherwise, I won't be able to play the dimwit and catch people off guard!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Holy Son. I certainly won't tell anyone this secret."
Sisi solemnly agreed.
But another question arose in her mind. Even if she really told others the secret that Qian Renxing wasn't a dimwit, would anyone actually believe her?
Wait, her Holy Son was a dimwit! How had she been led astray too?! Was this what it meant for great foolishness to appear wise?!!
"Ahem, let me ask you something else. Do I also have a grandma?"
Qian Renxing continued his questioning-style test.
There really wasn't a single thing left in his brain. It was utterly empty; even a mouse would shed tears at the sight.
"You-you do of course have a grandmother, but she passed away before you were born. It has already been several decades. I don't know who your grandmother was either."
Sisi was stumped. She really didn't know about Qian Renxing's grandmother.
"Oh, oh, my grandma is dead. If she's dead, never mind, then."
Qian Renxing stopped caring.
But suddenly, he felt that something was terribly wrong again. "Oh no! My grandma is dead, so my grandpa is definitely going to find a new lover. If they have a son, the inheritance definitely won't go to my dad, much less to me!!"
"What do I do? What do I do? Oh no, I won't get to be the Holy Son anymore! And I definitely won't get to be the Pope in the future!!"
Sisi hurriedly comforted him. "Your Highness the Holy Son, there's no need to worry. The Great Enshrined keeps away from women and has only one child, His Holiness Qian Xunji. You are his only grandson. You are the Holy Son now, and you will certainly be the Pope in the future..."
As Sisi spoke, she grew a little uncertain herself.
Although Qian Renxing had become the Holy Son now, could he really become the Pope in the future?
Even with the current Pope's support, the elders of the Elder Hall could depose the Pope if they passed a unanimous vote.
But when she remembered that her dimwitted Holy Son also had a Great Enshrined grandfather who was the master of the Elder Hall, she knew her worries were a little unnecessary.
"Oh, my grandpa keeps away from women... wait, if he keeps away from women, how did he have my dad?!!"
Qian Renxing had already accepted the premise that his grandpa Qian Daoliu kept away from women, but then he suddenly thought of his dad's birth.
If his grandpa kept away from women, how could his dad exist?
"If my grandpa keeps away from women, then my dad isn't his biological child, and that means I'm not their biological child either. But since I am their biological child, and my dad is his biological child too, then my grandpa doesn't keep away from women!!"
"Oh no! My position as Holy Son is in danger! I might not get to be the Pope in the future!!"
Qian Renxing's expression suddenly grew very grave.
To think that at such a young age, he had to face a situation like this. It truly was far too difficult!
"Your Highness the Holy Son, that's not how it... uh, that does seem to make sense? No, no, no, no..."
Sisi was confused, led astray by Qian Renxing's logic. It did seem to be that way. Thinking about it like that, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
But she quickly came to her senses and hurriedly shook her head. "No, no, the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu really does keep away from women. He only had His Holiness Qian Xunji to carry on Spirit Hall's legacy. In all these years, I've never heard any rumors of the Great Enshrined bestowing his favor on a woman. Besides, the Great Enshrined is getting old..."
"Oh, right! My grandpa is old. The old geezer can't have children anymore!"
Qian Renxing immediately cheered up at her words. "Then even if my grandpa marries a new wife, as long as he can't have children, my position as Holy Son can't be shaken! I'm the future Pope! Hahahaha!!"
