Outside the Pope's Palace, a young maid from the Spirit Hall approached to pay her respects to Bibi Dong and remind His Holiness the Pope that it was time to prepare for dinner.
She arrived at the Pope's Palace and was about to knock when she faintly heard some sounds coming from inside. Although they were indistinct, as if coming from a very distant place, they sounded like... His Holiness the Pope's voice?
Unlike normal speech, this sound seemed to be an extremely loud and unrestrained shout, as if it were an uncontrollable celebration. But if it were such a sound, how could it be so faint that it could only be heard in a murmur?
The maid couldn't help but wonder if she was hallucinating. It was understandable, given how shocking it was that the Pope, whom everyone thought had died, had actually returned to the Spirit Hall and reclaimed his Pope. It was like a dream.
Given such an impact, it's probably normal for me to be experiencing auditory hallucinations about His Holiness the Pope!
More importantly, the little maid simply couldn't believe that the Pope, so noble and dignified, seemingly above all things in the world, could utter such a sound. It was impossible!
After calming herself down, the maid stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying, " Pope Holiness, it's time for dinner. Please have your meal."
"Ah--!" A small gasp came from inside, followed by what seemed Bibi Dong complaining, "It's all your fault! You said there wouldn't be anyone, how could there suddenly be... Ugh, stop it, someone's here..."
"Ahem, okay, I understand. You go down first, ah... go down first, I'll be right there... oh dear, right there!" Bibi Dong's voice came from inside, but she seemed to be trying her best to hold back something.
The maid was puzzled, but since it was the Pope who said it, he must have something extremely important to do, which was why he said that.
" Pope Holiness, the elders instructed us that we must wait for Pope Holiness. I will wait for you outside," the maid insisted.
"Ah? No need, I'll go there by myself in a bit, ah... in a bit, you don't need to..." Bibi Dong could finish speaking, there was no sound from inside. No matter how carefully the little maid listened, she couldn't hear a sound at all.
About half an hour later, the doors of the Pope's Palace opened, Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent robe, walked out with graceful bearing. For some reason, although the Pope looked no different from before, there was a unique charm in her dignified demeanor.
The maid quickly realized it was the blush on the Pope's face that had changed her demeanor. But was it really that hot in the Pope's Palace? Why was the Pope blushing?
Suppressing her doubts, the little maid stepped aside respectfully, waiting for Bibi Dong to come out. But then, something even more puzzling happened: how did that guy named Qi Ling end up coming out with the Pope?
Seeing the maid's questioning look, Bibi Dong blushed even more, and said to the maid, "Let's go, you lead the way."
After the maid walked ahead, Bibi Dong used telepathy to say to Qi Ling, "You wretched thing, were you doing that on purpose? Otherwise, how could she have heard my voice?"
Qi Ling laughed and said, "I'm innocent, sister! My barrier is perfectly fine. I just didn't expect that your strength is already so high that you can actually break through the barrier I set up."
Bibi Dong blushed and said, "What... what are you saying? I didn't shout that loudly, and I didn't shout enough to break through your barrier! You're talking nonsense!"
"Huh? I only said that your strength has increased, sister. I never mentioned your screams," Qi Ling said. "However, sister's voice is indeed the most beautiful I've ever heard. I can never get enough of it."
"Damn it, you're not allowed to say that!" Bibi Dong said, both embarrassed and annoyed.
In the days that followed, Bibi Dong specifically designated this young maid to be in charge of calling her, since silencing one person was much easier than silencing a group of people.
Of course, Qi Ling knew that Bibi Dong had a lot to do at this time, so he didn't want to bother her too much. So when Bibi Dong was holding a meeting with the bishops and elders, he was bored and had no choice but to go find Qian Renxue.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was naturally preparing to integrate the most important armed force in the Spirit Hall, the Holy Temple Knight Order. Because of Qian Renxue's departure, the Holy Temple Knight Order had declined for a time, but now with her return, everything was different again.
The headquarters of the Holy Temple Knight Order is located in the Knight Holy Temple ' Temple, not far from the Pope's Palace. If the Pope's Palace is the faith of all Soul Master, then the Knight Palace is the dream of all Knights.
At this moment, everyone in Spirit City knew Qi Ling, because they knew that while the Spirit Hall belonged to His Holiness the Pope, the world belonged to this man.
Just as Qi Ling was about to enter the Knight Palace, a knight suddenly approached Qi Ling excitedly and said, "Lady Qi Ling! It's an honor to see you again. Do you remember me?"
Qi Ling looked at the tall man in front of her and felt that he looked somewhat familiar. She couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
"I'm Tuo Lei. I used to be a squad leader in the Holy Temple Knight Order, and now I'm one of the vice-commanders," Tuo Lei said excitedly. "More importantly, Commander Qian Renxue has returned! Our Knights will surely regain their former glory!"
Qi Ling then remembered that she had indeed met him before and had even had a minor disagreement, but those were no longer a big deal.
Seeing Tuo Lei facing him now as if he were meeting his idol, Qi Ling couldn't help but sigh, realizing how much time had passed and how things had changed.
"Thank you for your hard work. Besides A Xue, the Knights need your cooperation as well," Qi Ling said. "By the way, where is A Xue now? I need to talk to her."
"Oh, Commander Qian Renxue, she's inside right now. You've come at just the right time," Tuo Lei said hurriedly. "You and Commander Qian Renxue are a perfect match, a match made in heaven! Commander, she's so lucky to have such a wonderful partner as you."
Qi Ling walked inside, laughing as she said, "Hehe, not yet. A Xue isn't my girlfriend yet."
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Tuo Lei was overjoyed. Did that mean he still had a chance?
Just then, Qian Renxue came out and saw Qi Ling arrive. Her originally serious face immediately broke into a smile, and she said happily, " Qi Ling? What brings you here? Are you here to help me?"
Qi Ling laughed and said, "Not at all, I'm just here to keep an eye on you. Don't forget about our Dragon's Glory Knight Order just because you have the Holy Temple Knight Order. It wouldn't be good to neglect one for the other."
"How could that be? Of course I'm not that kind of person. Besides, with Tuoliya in the Dragon's Glory Knight Order, they're no worse than anyone else," Qian Renxue said.
Seeing the subtle atmosphere between the two, and the look in their eyes as they stared at each other, Tuo Lei wanted to slap himself. What impossible thing was he thinking? Did he really believe everything people said? This wasn't a couple? Nobody would believe him if he told them.
