Chapter 272 You're so worried about Tang San, he must be your grandson, right?
"I..."
Yu Xiaogang had never felt such shame before. Faced with the person he once loved and the mockery from her daughter, Yu Xiaogang was at a loss for words.
Qian Renxue suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Bibi Dong, saying, "Oh right, Mother, I just sent people to Heaven Dou Imperial City as you instructed."
"What? Bibi Dong, you actually sent someone?! If anything really happens to Tang San, I'll never forgive you!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, and roared.
"Mom, this uncle is so strange. He seems like he's crazy."
Qian Renxue first glanced at Bibi Dong, only to see a look of confusion in Bibi Dong's eyes. She hadn't actually sent anyone to intercept Tang San. What was Xue'er trying to say?
Qian Renxue turned to look at Yu Xiaogang and slowly said, "Grandpa, is there anything wrong with our Spirit Hall secretly protecting all the contestants who came to the Spirit Hall for the finals? Why do you seem so anxious? Also, who is Tang San? You're so worried about him, he must be your grandson, right?"
Hearing Qian Renxue call him "Grandpa," Yu Xiaogang's already flushed face turned even redder, but he couldn't refute her. According to the Douluo Continent, he was indeed old enough to be a grandfather, but the thought of this girl calling Qian Renxue Qian Renxue, who was only a few years younger than him, "Mother" filled Yu Xiaogang with indescribable pain.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Yu Xiaogang sighed softly and murmured to himself, "I apologize, Your His Holiness the Pope, for my rudeness. I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Qian Renxue's appearance severed all possibilities between him and Bibi Dong. He felt there was no need for him to stay there any longer, so he resigned and left.
Bibi Dong didn't stop him and let Yu Xiaogang leave.
After that, only Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue remained in the huge council hall. The two stood there quietly, looking at each other without saying a word.
After a long silence, Bibi Dong broke it first, looking quietly at Qian Renxue, "You heard everything I said to him?"
From Qian Renxue's lies, Bibi Dong already knew that Qian Renxue had been eavesdropping on her conversation with Yu Xiaogang the whole time.
"I heard everything. I'm sorry, Mom. It was my fault this time. I just felt that person was a bit arrogant, so I wanted to stand up for you."
Qian Renxue's face was full of apology, and coupled with her appearance as a girl of only about fifteen years old, she looked extremely pitiful.
Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged; instead, she continued to press Qian Renxue, "How much do you know about my relationship with him? I want to hear the truth."
Seeing Bibi Dong's serious expression, Qian Renxue lowered her head somewhat embarrassed and said, "The truth? I... I know everything."
"You know everything? Forget it, those are all things of the past. He and I are now complete strangers, worlds apart."
Bibi Dong was not angry after hearing Qian Renxue's answer. She just frowned slightly and explained to Qian Renxue.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue voiced her question, "Mom, aren't you going to ask me where I learned that?"
"If I ask, will you tell me?"
"Uh, no..."
Bibi Dong turned around and walked towards the door. "Your mission isn't finished yet. It's best not to keep yourself in the public eye. You should keep your identity hidden."
After saying this, Bibi Dong left the council hall and headed towards the Papal Palace.
Qian Renxue stood there excitedly. Her mother had just been concerned about her? She hadn't misheard; she had been concerned about her!
Bibi Dong returned to the Papal Palace and sat down on the Pope chair with a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her face. After Qian Renxue appeared, Yu Xiaogang's utterly humiliated appearance made her feel secretly pleased. A scumbag like him deserved to suffer such a fate.
To save his life, Bibi Dong reluctantly expelled Yu Xiaogang from the Spirit Hall to prevent Qian Xunji from secretly killing him. However, to her surprise, less than three years after leaving her, she learned from Qian Xunji that Yu Xiaogang had fallen in love with another woman, who was her own sister.
Upon learning this news, she even sent someone to verify it, only to receive a disappointing result. By then, the name " Golden Iron Triangle " had already emerged, and she realized that Qian Xunji had not lied to her; Yu Xiaogang had indeed fallen in love with someone else.
From that moment on, all love turned into hatred, her long-held beliefs crumbled, and this feeling was magnified infinitely. Bibi Dong's personality also began to twist. She wanted to make Yu Xiaogang suffer, she wanted to see Yu Xiaogang's heartbroken expression, only then could she bring herself happiness and joy.
In the girls' dormitory of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Jun Yi was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. He had been having a bad time these past few days, as he would frequently hear a piercing tinnitus, which would last for about an hour at a time. Jun Yi had checked his body but found nothing wrong. He even let the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King temporarily occupy his body to see if it could hear the tinnitus, but it couldn't hear anything at all.
Later, he also asked the Ice Dragon King to examine his soul. The Ice Dragon King said that apart from his soul being twice the mass of a normal person, there was nothing else abnormal.
This greatly troubled Jun Yi, as he hadn't been able to calm down and properly cultivate his Soul Power these past few days. Even when Jun Yi shielded his five senses, he could still hear tinnitus. Fortunately, the Ice Dragon King had made some breakthroughs in Jun Yi's Sea of Consciousness during these days.
Since the Ice Dragon King's resurrection, it has possessed the ability to condense Divine Power. During this time, it condensed some Divine Power within Jun Yi's body, using Jun Yi's Soul Ring as a storage medium to preserve it. Normally, a typical Soul Master's Soul Ring would be unable to withstand such immense Divine Power, but Jun Yi's Soul Ring is different. It was Soul Ring given to him by the system that can be infinitely upgraded, and it doesn't contain any Soul Skill, making it very suitable as a medium to store Divine Power.
The Ice Dragon King also discovered the extraordinary nature of Jun Yi's Soul Ring. After discussing it with Jun Yi and testing it out, he found it to be feasible. The Ice Dragon King then stored the Divine Power he had cultivated into Jun Yi's Soul Ring.
After storing the divine Divine Power, Jun Yi's Soul Ring also changed; now, all of Jun Yi's Soul Ring have turned red...
