Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Little did they know that the bishops' behavior was utterly ridiculous in the eyes of those in the know.

Bibi Dong didn't rush to express her opinion. She rested her chin on her right hand and watched the scene with amusement.

Faced with the bishops' unfounded accusations, Qian Gu Chang Kong couldn't help but retort, "What crime have you committed for making such a ruckus in the Papal Palace?"

The bishops declared righteously, "We are simply upholding the authority of the Papal Palace and arguing with you madmen. How can this be considered a disturbance? It is you who, instead of repenting, dare to question us. Your intentions are truly sinister."

Wu Qi scoffed.

He understood, of course, that Bibi Dong's attitude of watching a show was meant to intimidate them.

Bibi Dong has been running the Papal Palace for nearly twenty years; it's no easy task to wrest power from her.

As for the bishops who served as his henchmen, Wu Qi didn't even glance at them.

However, his attitude provoked an emergency reaction from the group of bishops: "You brat, what kind of attitude is this!"

Before Wu Qi could react, Ghost Leopard Douluo stepped forward and knocked the bishops to the ground, then roared, "You bastards, do you know who you're talking to?!"

Wu Qi looked at Bibi Dong with a smile: "As elders of the Spirit Hall, shouldn't we have the right to participate in politics and policy discussions?"

Upon being called out, Bibi Dong chuckled and said, "Elder Wu and Elder Qian Gu naturally have the right to participate in politics. Alright, everyone disperse; I'm tired and don't want to hear any reports today."

The bishops who knew the identities of Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong left the Papal Palace with schadenfreude, while those bishops who had contradicted the two were trembling with fear.

The Spirit Hall has explicit rules prohibiting subordinates from overthrowing superiors.

Today, without their knowledge, they have offended two elders. If the matter is investigated later, they will not only be dismissed from their positions, but may even lose their lives.

But now that Bibi Dong has spoken, they have no choice but to leave the Papal Palace.

Soon, everyone in the hall left, leaving only Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong behind.

"What, aren't you leaving yet?" Bibi Dong asked in a lazy manner.

Hu Liena, who was standing next to her, had not spoken, but at this moment she was giving Wu Qi and the other person meaningful glances.

Wu Qi suddenly smiled and said, "Your Holiness, this is because you are dissatisfied with the two of us. The morning assembly was adjourned without warning. The bishops who had important matters to report to must be cursing us in their hearts."

Bibi Dong hadn't expected the other party to be so direct, so she simply asked in return, "Then what advice does Elder Wu have?"

Wu Qi sat on a stone chair to the side and said indifferently, "As an elder of the Spirit Hall, Chang Kong and I have always relied on the protection of the Spirit Hall in the past. Now that we have the strength, we should naturally do something for the Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly: "With strength approaching level ninety-eight, you are indeed qualified to say this. But you shouldn't come to the Papal Palace or the Elder Palace; you can join the Hall of Worship directly."

Whether now or in the past, the enshrined members of the Hall of Offerings have always been relegated to a secondary role. Under normal circumstances, there is no need for the powerful figures of the Hall of Offerings to take action. If they were to do so, the Spirit Hall would inevitably be plunged into an abyss of destruction.

Wu Qi is so young. Even if he were willing to go to the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu would not agree.

"Level 98." Hu Liena was shocked and covered her mouth.

The three members of the Golden Generation of the Papal Palace are currently only at the Soul Saint level.

It's absolutely impossible to say they didn't try.

During the day, Hu Liena stayed by Bibi Dong's side. After finishing her official duties, she would go to cultivate under Bibi Dong's supervision and did not slack off at all.

It's not a matter of laziness, yet the gap between him and Wu Qi is so large, so it can only be a difference in talent. Bibi Dong rested her right hand on her cheek and asked again, "Oh, so you've come here to have me hold your coronation ceremony as a Title Douluo? Hehe, no problem, I'll take care of everything for you."

Wu Qi shook his head and said, "This time, we are here to familiarize ourselves with how the Papal Palace operates, and it can also be considered an internship."

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger: "You want to replace me!"

Wu Qi neither denied nor affirmed it.

Bibi Dong suddenly burst into laughter: "Qian Daoliu has certainly made a good plan. No problem, I'll let you intern here. Nana, take them to familiarize themselves with the Papal Palace. Remember, you must tell them everything in detail, without omitting a single detail."

Hu Liena already had many questions she wanted Wu Qi to answer, so she naturally agreed to the task.

This time, both sides have already revealed their hand, and Bibi Dong's magnanimous behavior surprised Wu Qi.

However, now that we're here, there's no reason to back down.

……

After leaving the Papal Palace, Qian Gu Chang Kong asked Wu Qi in a high-pitched voice, "Brother Wu, this woman is probably up to no good. Be careful."

Wu Qi could sense that Bibi Dong's assessment progress should have reached the ninth test, but she could not control the Rakshasa divine power on her body, clearly indicating that her affinity was not 100%.

Wu Qi didn't know what the Rakshasa God's test was, but judging from the original timeline, the Rakshasa God's reward to Bibi Dong must have been extremely stingy.

Among the three gods in the original timeline, Bibi Dong was the first to undergo the test, but the last to become a god, which reveals the reason behind it.

Wu Qi responded, "Going along with our wishes means they don't want us to cause trouble. Bibi Dong should be at the crucial moment of fusing divine power. Once she completes it, she will directly become a god."

"Using time to create space is not only beneficial to Bibidon, but also to us. Let's find out the situation in the Papal Palace as soon as possible."

"What are you talking about?" Hu Liena caught up with her, her face full of confusion.

Wu Qi didn't speak, but pointed to the crowd waiting not far away, "Miss Hu Liena, could you help block them?"

The group of bishops had offended the two men before, and they came to apologize.

Wu Qi didn't want to pay them any attention, so he pushed Hu Liena out.

Wu Qi has no intention of holding these people accountable.

It wasn't that he was magnanimous, but rather that the situation was unclear.

The bishops who stay in Wuhun City for extended periods are undoubtedly Bibi Dong's men. Those bishops who return from other places to report, however, are not necessarily so.

If Wu Qi reacts too strongly, Bibi Dong will most likely use him to replace all the bishops who are disloyal to her.

When the general is out, military orders are not obeyed.

Once this group is replaced by Bibi Dong, even if Wu Qi becomes Pope, his decrees will likely not be able to leave the Papal Palace.

On the contrary, making these people feel guilty towards him will make them more likely to become his subordinates in the future.

Hu Liena was no longer the novice she once was. Facing the crowd who came to apologize, she said incisively, "Elder Wu and Qian Gu Chang Kong are too lazy to bother with you. Get out of here and don't delay our business, lest you anger the two elders again."

"Your Highness is right. We will disperse now. Please convey our apologies to us; our apologies were not directed at the two elders." (End of Chapter)
