Lin Mo had actually anticipated this day.
From the Martial Soul Awakening at the age of six, and the Charmander appeared in his arms in the form of an egg, Lin Mo knew that with his External Beast Martial Soul and the Charmander's unique continuous evolution, he would eventually attract Bibi Dong's attention.
Bibi Dong was the real reason why he repeatedly refused to be recruited by Su Yuntao and other members of the Spirit Hall.
To be precise, from beginning to end, his main objection was not to join the Spirit Hall itself, but to contact with Bibi Dong!
Whether in the past or present, he has always been extremely wary of Bibi Dong.
Lin Mo didn't want himself and the Charizard to become Bibi Dong's test subjects to solve Yu Xiaogang's Malignant Mutation of his Martial Soul, or to put it more bluntly, disposable consumables.
but-
Lin Mo looked down at his palm; the lines on his palm were clearly visible.
Now, he finally has some confidence to protect himself.
Judging from Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's tone just now, he probably can't avoid this meeting. If he refuses, who knows what Bibi Dong might do.
I just hope everything goes well.
Lin Mo muttered to himself.
He raised his hand to rub his temples, forcing himself to calm down and Analytic the situation.
Judging from Yue Guan's reaction just now, it can be seen that Bibi Dong is not as outrageous as she became later, and still retains a certain degree of rationality.
In another timeline, even after learning that Tang San was Tang Hao's son during the Soul Master Tournament, she only chose to act secretly, still showing restraint in public.
Although the Spirit Hall is currently powerful, it has not yet accumulated enough strength to simultaneously confront two great empires.
They will not openly and completely turn against Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire for the time being.
The living room of the Dugu Manor.
Lin Mo raised his head, looked at Dugu Bo, and said, " Senior Dugu, before I set off for Spirit City, there is something I need to take care of."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
" Spirit City is far away, and it will take an unknown amount of time to get there," Lin Mo said calmly. "I am still a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and it is only right and proper for me to inform the teachers there."
"This is basic etiquette; you can't just disappear without a word."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded. "That's true, but—"
"I'll speak to the academy for you. You should go back to Chrysanthemum Guan first; we can set off early tomorrow morning."
After listening, Yue Guan didn't say much.
For him, there was only one core mission on this trip: to bring Lin Mo back to Spirit City to meet His Holiness the Pope.
As long as Lin Mo agrees to go, everything else is negotiable.
"Then so be it," Yue Guan said calmly. "I will come to pick them up again early tomorrow morning."
Having said that, he didn't linger any longer; his figure transformed into a golden light and disappeared outside the Dugu Manor.
After Yue Guan left, Dugu Bo did not delay and set off directly for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, ostensibly to ask the academy teachers for leave on Lin Mo's behalf.
But in reality, he was going to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Lin Mo now holds the title of Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire and is also a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Being personally summoned by the Pope of the Spirit Hall means that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has the right to know about this matter from any perspective.
More importantly, Dugu Bo needed to get Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing to make some preparations in advance.
These things need to be discussed in advance.
As for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? That's not the main point.
Since entering the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Lin Mo has spent the vast majority of his time at the Dugu Manor or the Ye Family Medical Hall, and the number of days he actually attends classes at the academy is very limited.
The teachers at the academy were already used to Lin Mo's absence from the academy.
The living room of the Dugu Manor.
Lin Mo stood alone by the window, gazing into the distance in the direction of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
The person he truly wanted to contact from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was never one of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teachers, but rather the young master of the Spirit Hall.
Only Qian Renxue can restrain Bibi Dong.
After all, within the entire Spirit Hall, besides Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu, only Qian Renxue has the qualifications and ability to rival Pope Bibi Dong.
Lin Mo had already sensed Qian Renxue's intention to recruit him back in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The 30,000-year-old Sun Insect King's Soul Ring that was given up is proof of that.
Before heading to the Spirit Hall to meet Bibi Dong, it's best to have as many backup plans as possible!
Night deepened.
Dugu Bo had not yet returned, and Lin Mo had no intention of going back to his room to rest. He was sorting out his next plans in his mind.
Going to Spirit City is the only option he has left.
Charmander's evolution was predetermined from the very beginning.
From egg to Charmander, from Charmander to Charmeleon, and from Charmeleon to Charizard.
This path of evolution will surely be revealed to the world once Lin Mo becomes Soul Master and begins his cultivation.
Unless, from the very beginning, he disappeared into some deep mountain forest, never to be seen again, and cultivated in seclusion until the Charmander completed its final evolution before emerging from the mountain.
Otherwise, as long as he appears in the public eye, Charizard will inevitably come into the public eye and will definitely be noticed by Bibi Dong.
The only difference is the timing.
Since that's the case -
Lin Mo's gaze gradually hardened.
Rather than passively waiting for that day to arrive, it's better to take the initiative and seize control of your own destiny.
He would publicize his talent and the continuous Benign Mutation of the Charmander, letting everyone on the continent know of his existence.
In this way, he would no longer be an insignificant nobody who could be easily erased.
He is not a genius, but a highly regarded figure, Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire, and a junior openly protected by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
These identities are like layers of protective charms stacked upon him!
Even if Bibi Dong had feelings for him, she should consider the consequences.
The worst outcome would be nothing more than being "invited" to Spirit City by Bibi Dong under the pretext of a "reception by the Pope."
The reason for "inviting" instead of "arresting" is that the Spirit Hall does not yet have the intention of breaking ties with the two great empires.
Assassinating geniuses who do not belong to one's own faction is an unspoken rule among major factions.
However, there has never been a case of someone publicly killing a genius in broad daylight.
The Spirit Hall is not yet prepared to face the wrath of both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire Empires simultaneously.
This is one of the reasons why Lin Mo dared to go to Spirit City.
He didn't want to be walking down the street one day when someone suddenly knocked him over and made him an unwitting victim of Bibi Dong's efforts to solve the problems of " Gangzi ".
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Dugu Bo pushed open the door and entered, his face showing fatigue, but his eyes were still relatively clear.
"It's done."
He pulled up a chair, sat down, picked up the now-cold tea on the table, and took a sip. " Xue Ye and the Crown Prince already know that you are going to Spirit City, and they are very satisfied with your choice."
Moreover, Xue Ye's meaning was very clear: you are now Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire, and they will not stand idly by."
Lin Mo nodded. "Thank you, senior."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, his tone unusually serious. "Boy, I can accompany you to Spirit City, but after you enter the Pope Hall and meet Bibi Dong, the rest is up to you."
"Although I am a Titled Douluo, there are very few things I can do on the territory of the Spirit Hall!"
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I understand."
If this trip goes smoothly, then he will be able to cultivate peacefully and openly for a long time to come!
I will no longer let these trivial matters affect my cultivation!
