Chapter 36 The Plan to Steal the Country
Qian Renxue left indignantly.
After returning to the main hall.
She recounted her frustration at being rejected when she tried to meet Bibi Dong to her grandfather.
However, having already cried and after a conversation with Ye Qifeng, the initial grief had subsided.
But the hatred was still real, and she no longer held any hope.
From the moment she ran out of the papal palace, she decided she would never forgive that woman again.
From then on, she was no longer his mother, but at most his older sister.
Qian Daoliu knew perfectly well what was going on, but he still patiently comforted his granddaughter.
Until Qian Renxue smiled again.
Then she told Qian Daoliu about meeting a very interesting child, and asked him to investigate the trashy book that shouldn't be in the archives.
Knowing the whole story beforehand, Qian Daoliu readily agreed.
…………
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong sat on the papal throne, her legs crossed, her jade-like hands supporting her snow-white chin.
She just got back.
After thinking for a moment, she summoned the ghostly elder in front of the hall.
The ghostly figure solidified within a cloud of black mist, then knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully: "Your Holiness the Pope!"
Bibi Dong glanced at the ghosts below and calmly gave the order:
"Elder Ghost, I have something for you to handle."
"Go check the Spirit Hall's archives; there's a book called 'The Ten Core Competencies of Spirit.'"
"I want to know the most detailed information, including the evaluations of this book by all the scholars in the Spirit Hall who study spirits."
"Also, while you're at it, look up an orphan named Ye Qifeng in the Spirit Hall's orphanage."
"Yes, Your Holiness!" the ghostly voice replied.
This was the first time Bibi Dong had issued an order to him since ascending to the throne as Pope, and the order was to investigate a book and an orphan. Gui Mei was completely baffled.
However, Ghost is a loyal person; he will only carry out the orders issued by the Pope diligently.
That's the kind of person he is—he faithfully carries out orders without questioning them.
He wouldn't ask any more questions about the rest.
He's not like Chrysanthemum, that chatterbox.
If it were Kikuzuki Kane, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist asking all those questions.
…………
Offering Hall.
Qian Daoliu did the same thing as Bibi Dong; he summoned the leader of the Douluo warriors to investigate the book and Ye Qifeng in detail.
It mainly concerns her granddaughter, Qian Renxue, and the granddaughter has taken this matter to heart.
However, the difference is...
Bibi Dong's focus is on "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul".
Qian Daoliu was more interested in Ye Qifeng, though only slightly more.
Less than an hour later.
Two almost identical reports were handed to Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong picked up the report and glanced at it with her beautiful eyes.
It would have been better if she hadn't looked; once she did, her face instantly darkened.
He casually picked up the newly copied "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul" next to him, flipped through it, and then threw it away with a snap.
"What the hell?!"
Bibi Dong's face was full of disgust, as if holding it would burn her.
It turned out to be just as that little orphan had said.
The so-called "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul" are mostly common sense, or even plagiarized, and the rest are just inferences, almost all of which are wrong.
The report clearly states that it listed all the plagiarized parts.
There are also records from the Spirit Hall as evidence.
Bibi Dong suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. What was she thinking, treating this piece of junk like a treasure and collecting it into the Spirit Hall's archives?
At this moment, Bibi Dong realized even more clearly the man's cowardice and incompetence.
The beautiful image in my heart quietly shattered, thus creating a crack.
However, seeing Ye Qifeng's information finally cheered me up a bit.
She stared blankly at the detailed introduction of Ye Qifeng above, never expecting that the orphan was actually the child who helped her break through the title four years ago.
Moreover, he and his apprentice Nana are childhood sweethearts.
Bibi Dong murmured softly:
"It turns out that those books were borrowed by Nana for him. I was wondering why Nana had been going to the archives room so much lately. I thought you were listening to your teacher and really loved learning. You're just like me back in the day."
Bibi Dong's lips curled into a smile, a hint of amusement suddenly appearing:
"It's not because of me. You little brat, you're already siding with outsiders at such a young age, aren't you? Looks like I need to give your training a little more substance."
"But... should we adopt that child?!"
Bibi Dong frowned and pondered seriously: "Four years ago, because of that beast's threat, I didn't dare to bring him back to the Holy Maiden Palace to raise. I had no choice but to give up and send him to the Spirit Hall Orphanage."
"Now that I am the Pope, there is no problem."
"However, my foundation is still unstable, and those old guys in the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders may have objections."
"It's still not appropriate. Let's leave it at that for now. The child seems to be doing quite well at the orphanage, so let's not disturb his life for the time being."
"He's only four years old now. Let's see how he is after he awakens his martial soul in two years. If he has the aptitude to be a soul master, we'll take him as our disciple no matter what. If he can only be an ordinary person, we'll make sure he's safe and sound for the rest of his life."
Having made up her mind, Bibi Dong put the matter aside for the time being.
…………
In the special training realm of the Spirit Hall Academy.
The secret realm is extremely special and very suitable for cultivation, allowing Soul Masters below the Soul Venerable level to cultivate at twice the speed.
At this moment, Hu Liena, who was diligently meditating, suddenly felt a chill and woke up with a start.
The sudden chill startled her.
Hu Liena's alluring eyes were filled with confusion; she didn't understand why she had suddenly woken up.
After looking around and finding nothing amiss, he patted his chest and continued meditating.
She had heard from her teacher that opening the secret realm required a lot of resources and time was limited, so she had to hurry.
…………
Offering Hall.
Qian Daoliu looked at the report, his face also darkening.
"What garbage is this?!"
He felt his eyes were dirty, so he casually shredded the copied content into dust.
As for the information about Ye Qifeng, after Qian Daoliu had read it, he paid a little attention to Ye Qifeng's photographic memory, his love of reading, and his clever mind, but then he put it aside and stopped paying attention to it.
After all, he had seen plenty of smart people.
…………
Finally, Bibi Dong issued an order to remove "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls" from the Spirit Hall's archives.
But in the end, they couldn't bear to completely blacklist him, leaving that man some room to protect his dignity and reputation.
After letting go of this matter.
Bibi Dong began to think about another question.
About Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong felt it was necessary to remove her from Wuhun City; otherwise, she feared she might lose control and want to kill her.
Seated on the papal throne, Bibi Dong rubbed her temples with her delicate hand, her eyes closed, lost in thought:
"By the way, I remember that beast Qian Xunji once proposed a plan to infiltrate the Heavenly Dou Empire and steal its territory."
"However, it was later shelved because there was no suitable candidate."
"We can send Qian Renxue. Doesn't their Qian family's inherited Angel Set Soul Bone have a disguise function? Perfect."
"However, we cannot put Qianrenxue in danger because of this."
"The plan still needs to be further refined."
"Okay, let's do it that way."
With her plan firmly in mind, Bibi Dong opened her eyes, her gaze deep and cold, a sneer playing on her lips: "Heh--! Qian Xunji, you didn't expect this, did you? The plan you proposed will end up being carried out by your own daughter."
"If you, in the depths of hell, knew about this, I wonder what you would think."
Bibi Dong's face turned icy cold at the mere thought of Qian Xunji.
A wicked glint flashed in the depths of her eyes; clearly, her thoughts were beginning to be influenced by the Rakshasa's evil intentions.
