In Spirit City, at the Spirit Hall, a Soul Master dressed in a white robe from the Spirit Hall arrived at the Papal Palace at an extremely fast speed. He knelt on the ground facing the Pope Qian Xunji, who was taking a nap on the Pope chair.
" Your His Holiness the Pope, Her Saintess Hall has emerged from the Mist Grand Canyon. Tang San and that mysterious woman are traveling with her. Moreover, the Holy Maiden appears to be in excellent condition and does not seem to have been threatened. We sent people to test the Holy Maiden's strength; her current Soul Power Level has reached 52 Soul King, and she easily defeated Soul Emperor." The Soul Master girl, Bibi Dong, informed Qian Xunji of the situation.
"Very good, it seems they meant no harm to Dong'er, and were even quite close to her. Otherwise, given Xu Rong'er's personality, she would have caused a huge uproar at the Spirit Hall long ago after Dong'er was kidnapped for so long. It's not like this now. I guess she must know that Dong'er is not in any danger."
Qian Xunji slowly opened his eyes and began to analyze, "Right now, we can only confirm that Tang San is Tang Chen's illegitimate son. He definitely has no connection with Dong'er. The only possibility is that mysterious woman. I fought with her before and sensed that her strength was not much weaker than mine. Moreover, I sensed a similar aura from her to Dong'er. Now that I think about it, she is very likely Dong'er's elder. This is going to be quite troublesome."
" Your His Holiness the Pope, should we send someone to follow Tang San and the others, and protect Her Saintess Hall?" the Soul Master asked.
"No need. We've tried it before; Titled Douluo's perception far exceeds your imagination." Qian Xunji shook her head and continued, "Is there anything else?"
" Your His Holiness the Pope, there is a rather thorny matter," the Soul Master replied.
"Speak."
"Don't you remember the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon who lost his Soul Power and Martial Soul? A few days ago, he got a job at the Martial Soul Research Department of our Spirit Hall through connections. While researching Martial Soul, he broke into the library and peeked at several confidential books. He was caught on the spot and is currently being held in jail. However, due to his status, we don't know how to punish him. We ask the Pope to make a decision."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji revealed a contemptuous smile. "You're talking about that good-for-nothing with only half a level of Innate Soul Power, right? It's all thanks to his good father; otherwise, how could I have allowed a good-for-nothing with no Soul Power to serve in the Spirit Hall?"
Previously, Yu Yuanzhen approached him, using three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a bargaining chip to secure Yu Xiaogang's position at the Spirit Hall. Naturally, Qian Xunji wouldn't hesitate to accept such a good offer. However, Yu Yuanzhen added an extra condition: he had to be notified immediately of any news about Jun Yi. This was not a difficult task for Qian Xunji.
"Let's let him off this time, considering his father is the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Give him a verbal warning first, and if there's a next time, just expel him from the Spirit Hall," Qian Xunji said slowly.
" Your His Holiness the Pope, isn't this punishment a bit too lenient?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji smiled faintly, "He's a cripple without even Soul Power, yet he's the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Expelling him from the Spirit Hall is a far greater psychological blow than a physical one."
"Understood."
"Well, if there's nothing else, you may leave."
In a small town on the edge of the Mist Grand Canyon, Jun Yi and his two companions were sitting in a private room of a restaurant, waiting for their food to be served. Jun Yi and Pope Bibi Dong had been here for a year. In that year, Jun Yi's height had grown to 190 cm, no different from that of a normal adult, and his Soul Power had reached level 69. He was just one step away from breaking through to the Soul Saint.
Meanwhile, the girl Bibi Dong has grown a lot taller, jumping from 150 to 155, a full five centimeters taller! Now she completely attributes her lack of growth to Jun Yi touching her head before, and she makes a fuss about making Jun Yi take responsibility. She will make some strange requests for Jun Yi to do, such as buying clothes for Pope Bibi Dong, or making him accompany Pope Bibi Dong shopping, etc.
This puzzled Jun Yi greatly; what on earth was this little girl thinking?
"Ah, the outside world is so much more comfortable, Jun Yi. Now I understand why you don't want to go back to that awful place. You lived in constant fear. After spending a year there, I don't want to go back a second time either." The girl Bibi Dong, lay back in the chair, looking extremely content.
"There are other reasons why I don't want to go to the Mist Grand Canyon," Jun Yi replied calmly.
"I don't care what your reasons are, I just don't want to stay there anymore." The girl Bibi Dong, shook her head, a smug smile on her face.
" Xiao Dong, your mindset isn't right. I know a young man who spent half a year training in the Mist Grand Canyon, specifically to hone his skills and kill the Evil Soul Master there. At the time, he was only at the Soul Ancestor level. Once, while fighting an Evil Soul Master was a Soul Emperor, he chose to die recklessly to protect his companions, burning himself to try and take the Evil Soul Master down with him. If someone hadn't helped him, he would have died there."
"After returning safely, he still volunteered to go to the Mist Grand Canyon, not for training, but to protect the honor in his heart. He once told me something that left a deep impression on me: 'Every time I kill a bloodthirsty Evil Soul Master, it's equivalent to saving tens of thousands of ordinary people.' His spirit is something you should learn from."
The boy Pope Bibi Dong spoke of was Yan, one of the three members of the Golden Generation, who had been saved by Jun Yi.
"Wow, there really is someone like that in this world? Sister, why don't we let him join the Spirit Hall? Our Spirit Hall's responsibility is to eliminate Evil Soul Master and protect the peace of the continent, which coincides with his ideals." The girl Bibi Dong said to her sister with great interest.
"Well, I've only met him a few times; we're not actually very close." Bibi Dong had no choice but to lie. She couldn't very well let Yan also transmigrate, could she?
"What a pity. I wanted to get to know him. If he could join the Spirit Hall, with that kind of awareness alone, he could at least become a deacon or bishop in the Spirit Hall in the future. If he had even better talent, he might even become an elder. It's such a shame."
The young girl Bibi Dong went completely off-topic. Pope Bibi Dong wanted to tell her about this spirit of not being afraid of hardship, but her focus was entirely on Yan. This made Pope Bibi Dong sigh slightly. Her life as a girl had been too smooth sailing, and her personality was indeed quite different from her own.
However, Pope Bibi Dong also wished that her younger self could forever retain this mindset, and she wanted to see what kind of person this innocent and naive Bibi Dong would become in the future...
