Douluo: My mother is Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue is my sister

Chapter 108 Eavesdropping on the Court Meeting
In short, because of what Bibi Dong said, the mother and son were driven away. On the morning of the day they left, Qian Renxue came to find her brother and mother happily, but she learned that her mother had just come back and spent two days with her before being driven away by her father again, and even her brother was going to be driven away as well. The little girl burst into tears.

Of course Bibi Dong couldn't bear to leave Qian Renxue. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Seeing her daughter's pitiful appearance, she even regretted her attitude yesterday. She wanted to find Qian Xunji again immediately. Whether it was threatening or surrendering, she didn't want to leave her daughter again.

But Xue Mo held Bibi Dong back and said, "Mom, it's not necessary. We can come back anytime. At most, we can come here to accompany Xue'er during the day and leave at night."

Bibi Dong was puzzled. She felt that Xue Mo's words were no different from a joke, but Xue Mo said confidently: "If you don't believe me, just wait here for a while. I'll go ask Grandpa."

Xue Mo's confidence comes from Qian Renxue's arrival. Seeing Qian Renxue, Qian Xunji's confusing actions are not so difficult to explain.

Although key information such as why Bibi Dong in the original time and space stayed with Qianxunji for so many years and until she killed Qianxunji is still missing, after eliminating the possibility that Qianxunji's love for Bibi Dong is negative, Xue Mo speculated that either Bibi Dong had been imprisoned and Qianxunji thought he had complete control over her and wanted to keep her as a tool to test her will in the ninth test of Qian Renxue Angel, or Bibi Dong pretended to be successfully PUA'd by Qianxunji and temporarily confused Qianxunji.

And in this life, Qian Daoliu values ​​himself very much, even though sometimes the importance he attaches to himself exceeds that he attaches to a talented junior, which is a bit unclear. But just because Qian Xunji was confined to his house for five years because of himself, Qian Xunji did not dare to imprison or PUA Bibi Dong as he did in the original time and space.

Likewise, it was because of his existence that he did not dare to kill Bibi Dong directly to eliminate future troubles, fearing that doing so would lead Qian Daoliu to find another reason to confine him for five years.

However, Qian Renxue not only did not hate Bibi Dong as he expected, but was also so attached to Bibi Dong. Keeping Bibi Dong in the Spirit Hall for a long time might lead to Qian Renxue being "led astray" by Bibi Dong and becoming difficult to control. So he could only use this method to ensure that Bibi Dong would neither escape from his control nor have too close a relationship with Qian Renxue.

Since he didn't want Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong to have too good a relationship, it was impossible for him to let Qian Renxue come to see him and Bibi Dong off. Even if Qian Renxue came to find them, he would definitely ask people to stop Qian Renxue with various reasons.

As the Pope, he did not want Qian Renxue to get close to Bibi Dong, so Qian Daoliu was the only one in the entire Spirit Hall who dared to let Qian Renxue out to meet them.

Qian Daoliu felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he asked her to come and see her mother and brother off. His attitude was a very powerful bargaining chip, giving Xue Mo a lot of room to maneuver.

Since Qian Daoliu's attitude can be used, wouldn't it be enough to ask Qian Daoliu to allow Bibi Dong to see Qian Renxue often?
No, although it is possible to do so, Xue Mo does not want such a result.

It is true that Qian Daoliu loves his granddaughter, but he did not stop Qian Xunji from driving Bibi Dong away, which shows that he did not want Bibi Dong to stay in the Spirit Hall forever. If he only played the emotional card, he might regret it when reason prevailed again. Without Qian Daoliu's restraint, it would only take Qian Xunji a word to forbid Bibi Dong to see Qian Renxue.

Instead of hoping that Qian Daoliu will always be soft-hearted, it is better to deal with Qian Xunji directly.

That’s right, Xue Mo went to find Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji is currently in the main hall discussing matters. Entering through the front gate requires notification, and Qian Xunji will most likely not let him in, so Xue Mo goes straight to the back door.

There were also guards at the back door. Xue Mo simply made an excuse that he wanted to get something, and the guard let him in.

The entire Spirit Hall knew that he was going out for training. He had often come to the main hall before, so it was normal for him to leave something here. With this reason, no one would suspect anything. Entering from the back door, Xue Mo came to the backstage passage of the main hall without any obstruction. He stopped and pretended to look for something, but he was actually eavesdropping on the movements in the main hall.

He needed Qian Xunji to announce in public that Bibi Dong would be allowed to come back to see Qian Renxue often, so as to prevent this villain from going back on his word after agreeing to it.

At this time, in the hall, a cardinal reported to Qianxunji: "Your Holiness, the policy issued by the Grand Priest during his tenure to relax the restrictions on civilian spirit masters entering the Soul Hunting Forest is indeed a bit against the rules, but it is a fact that the Spirit Hall's income has increased slightly in the past two years. Originally, our Spirit Hall has been unable to make ends meet in recent years. If we cut off this income, I'm afraid that in at most ten years, even the subsidies for spirit masters will be reduced!"

Qianxunji said calmly: "When did I say that civilian soul masters are not allowed to enter? If you didn't understand, I can repeat it: civilian soul masters can still enter the Soul Hunting Forest, the number of times will be increased from one day per month to one day every seven days, and the admission fee will be increased five times to the same level as the nobles and major forces."

Xue Mo almost spit out what he heard.

What the hell? The admission fee is increased five times? How dare you say that, Qianxunji?

Although Qianxunji is not a good person, he has been the Pope for so many years, so his governing ability should not be so weak! Did he just get released and want to be grounded again? Or what?

Xue Mo was shocked by Qian Xunji's stupid behavior, but he didn't disturb them and continued to eavesdrop.

As people in the hall discussed various things, Xue Mo roughly understood what had happened.

This was actually the first time he heard about the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Forest being open to civilian soul masters. This policy started two years ago, and Qian Daoliu probably started implementing it immediately after he brought Qin Ming in.

Qian Daoliu's idea should be to publicize the fact that he absorbed a hundred-year spirit ring in order to abide by the rules, and to use his good reputation among the civilians to further promote good governance. He should publicize the fact that he brought civilian spirit masters in, and set that day of every month as the open day for civilian spirit masters.

In this way, the prestige of the Spirit Hall among civilian spirit masters will be further enhanced, and at the same time, it will be able to promote itself more and further enhance its reputation so that it can continue to implement other policies through itself in the future.

Of course, it is impossible to simply improve one's own reputation. After all, the designated successor to the Pope is Qian Renxue.

In short, after the implementation of this policy aimed at improving the prestige of the Spirit Hall, it not only gained prestige but also slightly increased revenue. The Spirit Hall has been short of money recently, and these revenues have slightly solved its urgent problem.

If Qian Xunji's decree is implemented, not only will the prestige gained from the previous good governance be lost, but it will also be difficult for common soul masters to pay the same entrance fee as the nobles, and the income of the Spirit Hall will be reduced, or even completely zero. This is why the archbishop tried his best to prevent the decree from being implemented.

As for why Qianxunji insisted on pushing forward the decree, was it because he was stupid?
Although Xue Mo didn't want to admit it, this was really not the case this time.
