Chapter 116: Farewell at last

Just now he was still thinking that he didn't want to get involved in factional struggles, but he didn't expect that from the moment he was waiting for the young master at the door and seeing him off, he had already stepped into this quagmire.

I was so stupid that I didn't even think of this! Not long ago, I was still feeling a little smug because I was the only one who could understand the young master's intentions at the first time and cooperate with him to come up with excellent policies. Looking back, I realized that I was the idiot!
He didn't know to what extent the relationship between the Pope and the young master had deteriorated, but judging from the fact that the young master had asked him to leave so seriously, it was not difficult to judge that this father and son might have reached the point where they were incompatible. If he continued to stay in the Spirit Hall, he might really be angered by the Pope, and even his family might be implicated.

It just so happened that I had been feeling unwell recently, with unbearable pain all over my body at the slightest change in the environment. It was probably because I had been entangled with many things, had not practiced enough, and the poison had started to backfire. It should not be difficult to get away with this as an excuse.

Moreover, although he had already entered the realm of Soul Saint, the Spirit Hall did not need a Soul Saint with a physical problem who might not live long, nor did it need a bishop who held great power but was not on the same page with the Pope. If he resigned, no one would force him to stay.

Although it was a bit of a pity to leave the Spirit Hall like this, for the sake of my family, I had no choice but to escape as soon as possible.

Having made up his mind to leave, Bishop Dugu whispered, "Thank you for your advice, Young Master. I will go back and find a way to escape. I will repay you for saving my life someday!"

In the future? No need! Of course, if the object is your daughter, you can consider it.

Xue Mo complained in his heart, but still maintained a polite smile on the surface: "You're welcome, let's go! If we have a chance to meet again, remember to bring your daughter to play with me. I don't have any friends who are about my age!"

Bishop Dugu nodded repeatedly: "Of course! Of course!"

Bishop Dugu said goodbye to Xue Mo and Bibi Dong, and then left in a hurry. As soon as he left, Bibi Dong picked up Xue Mo and asked, "Mo'er, what's the matter? What did you do in the hall just now?"

Xue Mo did not continue to conceal it and recounted roughly what happened after he went to the hall.

"Originally I didn't want to go in and disturb them, but they are so stupid that I just couldn't stand it. Mom, wouldn't all the ruling bishops of the Spirit Hall be like them, only looking at the spirit power level instead of the ability to do things? If so, when Xue'er becomes the Pope in the future, she will be surrounded by such idiots. How exhausted she will be!"

Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel proud from the bottom of her heart as she listened to Xue Mo's story.

He is worthy of being my Moer. Not only is he talented and strong, but he also has outstanding political abilities!
Of course, she was not just busy feeling proud of her son, she also listened to the questions raised by Xue Mo.

Although the Spirit Hall is different from the two empires and does not need too many political talents to function normally, without political talents to put forward constructive suggestions, the Spirit Hall can only maintain the status quo and will never develop.

Even if there is no development, situations like today will occasionally occur. If there was no Mo'er today, and Qian Xunji's bad idea was passed, then not only would the financial problem not be solved, but over time the Spirit Hall would become a mascot raised by the nobles and big forces, and would only be able to act according to their wishes in the future.

It seems that I can't just lie dormant for the next period of time. I also need to take some actions in secret to prepare for the reform of the Spirit Hall after dethroning Qian Xunji in the future.

Bibi Dong didn't realize it at this time, because she suspected Xue Mo might be planning to kill his father, her attitude towards Qian Xunji began to change, from the initial hatred to get rid of him as soon as possible to the current "bring him down".

Maternal love can easily make a woman let go of the deep hatred she once had, but this is just a normal thing for a mother. Perhaps in her dreams at midnight, she will recall the pain she once suffered, but they will never realize how great the sacrifice they have made for their children is.

...During the following not-too-long journey, Bibi Dong kept reminding Xue Mo to take good care of himself outside, not to talk to strangers easily, not to eat food of unknown origin, and to boil water drawn in the wild before drinking it. If he spent the night outdoors, no matter how close to human settlements or how far away from the activity range of soul beasts, he must sprinkle animal repellent powder before sleeping, etc.

Xue Mo listened to Bibi Dong's seemingly endless advice with a smile, and his heart felt warm. Although he didn't need Bibi Dong to worry about him at all, the feeling of being cared for was really good.

Walking all the way to the city gate, Bibi Dong could no longer continue to send Xue Mo off. According to the rules set by Qian Xunji, she could not leave Wuhun City. Sending her here meant that they would be separated again.

Bibi Dong was still reluctant to let Xue Mo go. She looked at her son's still very young face, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Xue Mo took out a handkerchief to wipe Bibi Dong's tears and said, "Mom, don't be sad. You won't look good when you're sad. Mom wants to look pretty. Mo'er, come and put on some beautiful makeup for Mom!"

Bibi Dong nodded and took out all her cosmetics from the storage soul guide.

Perhaps because Xue Mo knows how to put on makeup for her, Bibi Dong's originally few cosmetics are now much richer. Xue Mo still doesn't know what all these are used for, and he doesn't need to understand them. He just needs to pick out good-looking ones with colors that suit Bibi Dong and add radiance to her already beautiful face.

He applied the makeup very seriously. Under his hands, Bibi Dong's look was more beautiful than ever before. Even passers-by and the guards at the gate could not help but stare in amazement.

After putting on her makeup, Bibi Dong didn't look in the mirror to see how she looked now. She kissed Xue Mo's cheek hard, leaving a lipstick mark on his face, and praised: "Mo'er is awesome!"

Xue Mo laughed and said, "Then don't cry, mom! If you cry any more your makeup will be ruined."

Bibi Dong nodded vigorously: "Yes! Don't cry, Mom!"

Finally, it was time to say goodbye. Bibi Dong put Xue Mo down, and Xue Mo led his team toward the gate. When he stepped out of the city gate, he turned around and waved to Bibi Dong, who was still standing there watching him leave, and shouted, "Mom! Wait for me to come back!"

Bibi Dong had just promised not to cry, but she broke her promise at this moment.

Xue Mo looked back every few steps until he could no longer see Bibi Dong's figure. Then he strode forward. He glanced at Qin Ming beside him and saw that he looked at him with a complicated look, so he asked, "Qin Ming, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qin Ming said: "Comrade... Young Master, I just feel that you have been a little strange these past two days..."

Xue Mo rolled his eyes: "What's the big deal? Aren't you acting like a child in front of your mother?"

Qin Ming thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but before this I really couldn't imagine what it was like for you to act like a spoiled brat in front of others. I always treated you as an adult like my father, but now I feel that you are also a very cute child..."

Xue Mo was so angry that he raised his short legs and kicked him, cursing, "I gave you face, didn't I? How dare you laugh at me! Don't call me comrade anymore! Keep calling me Master!"
