Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 181 The teacher intervenes to resolve past grievances; Flander, is your honey really that sweet?

Peach blossoms and beautiful faces have become a broken dream; brocade words and fish-shaped writings have faded into the past.

A thread of affection is hard to sever; as the setting sun casts its last rays, the Pope sighs in sorrow.

A black arrow had already pierced the clouds and bloomed in the sky above the peach blossom forest.

The ghost waiting in the Papal Palace branch was startled awake and rushed to the entrance of Peach Blossom Academy to greet the Pope. Upon seeing the Pope emerge from the Peach Blossom Path, it bowed and said:
"Welcome, Your Holiness the Pope."

“Your Holiness, you… seem very weak.”

"What exactly happened to you at Peach Blossom Academy? Is Peach Blossom Academy still unwilling to accept us? Your Holiness, should we send troops?"

Ghostly looked up slightly and could tell that the Pope was not in good condition.

"No need. In the future, the Soul Masters in the hall should try not to disturb the peace and quiet of this place, so as to give Teacher Su a good teaching environment."

Bibi Dong glanced back at the magnificent peach blossoms, coughed softly, and her eyes were filled with disappointment and regret.

She had many bad relationships in her life.

Even though Teacher Su was different from other men, she didn't feel that Teacher Su had treated her badly. But when a woman faces such indifference from the person she loves, she will naturally feel extremely disappointed.

"Let's go back."

Bibi Dong sighed softly, just as she was about to step out of the threshold of Peach Blossom Academy.

A clear voice came from behind her, making her tremble:
"Autumn comes and I hear the whispers of flowers, but spring's peach blossoms are gone."

"Teacher Dong, didn't we agree that you would stay in Taoyuan as an assistant teacher afterward? Could it be that your feelings have changed after just a few days? Cough cough."

"I, I...I thought you..."

"Teacher Su, what's wrong?"

Surprised and delighted, Bibi Dong turned around and saw a young man in white standing among the peach blossoms. Although the young man had a peerless appearance and a natural immortal quality, he was no longer as spirited as he used to be. His face was slightly pale, and he did not look much better than her. He even coughed twice as he spoke.

This immediately startled Bibi Dong, who rushed over, placed her delicate hands on Su Ran's wrist, took his pulse, and anxiously asked:

"Teacher Su, you're injured? Was it... was it back then that I hurt you?"

"You haven't shown your face these past few days because Teacher Su is healing? Yes... I misunderstood Teacher Su..."

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault... How could the power of the Rakshasa God be so easily subdued? Even when my soul power was at level 98 or 99, I still couldn't dissolve this evil thought. Teacher Su, you must have paid a heavy price. After so many days of recuperation, your internal condition is still so bad. It's all my fault."

Through the soul power pulses and heart pulses in Su Ran's wrist, Bibi Dong was able to sense the unstable and disordered soul power and damage within Su Ran's body, and felt extremely guilty.

Even someone as strong as the Pope has tears in his eyes, just like a young woman.

Su Ran smiled faintly, and said softly:
"It's not your fault. It's my own fault for not asking clearly and for overlooking one step. It took some effort to break the evil thoughts of the Rakshasa God, and it also took some effort to stabilize the remnant soul and origin of the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit. After resting for a while, I will be able to recover."

"Although my disciples may seem playful on the surface, they are actually the ones who care about me the most. I urge Your Holiness to calm down and not let tears show on your face, lest they notice something amiss and worry unnecessarily. Moreover, I don't want them to think that I have bullied Your Holiness."

Su Ran reached out and wiped away the blurry tears from Bibi Dong's eyes, teasingly saying...

"How can you not blame me? If I hadn't told you, how would you have known that there were evil thoughts of Rakshasa in my spiritual sea? It's all my fault..."

Bibi Dong took a breath, feeling guilty, but Su Ran calmed her down: "They won't think you bullied me, they'll just think I'm playing the victim to gain sympathy, and they'll probably be cursing me behind my back."

"Ahem... These girls are unaware of the situation and may have many speculations. Teacher Dong, please don't take it personally."

Su Ran knew the girls' personalities. In the past, they, and even she herself, didn't have a good impression of the Pope and probably gossiped about him a lot.

“You’ve already said I’m a tutor at Taoyuan Academy. A tutor is practically a teacher. How can a teacher argue with a student?”

Bibi Dong burst into laughter through her tears. Looking at the stunningly handsome man before her, her feelings of disappointment instantly turned into warmth.

"Not leaving?"

"I won't leave, I won't leave. As long as Teacher Su doesn't dislike me, as long as Teacher Su needs me, I will always be here."

……

"Teacher Su from Taoyuan Academy is still as handsome as ever, even after all these years."

Seeing Su Ran emerge from the depths of Peach Blossom Spring to persuade His Holiness the Pope to stay, Ghost was stunned at the school gate.

Teacher Su is truly beautiful; no wonder His Holiness the Pope is so captivated by her. If I were a woman, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist such a handsome face and charm.

……

"Pope Bibi Dong and Su Ran! How come they seem to have put aside their past grievances? Wasn't the Pope quite hostile towards Peach Blossom Academy during the Soul Master Competition?"

"Yes, back then, didn't the master say that he was very familiar with the Pope? He even said that he could have the Pope destroy Peach Blossom Academy if necessary. How come the Pope is on good terms with Peach Blossom Academy now?"

"You still call yourself a master?"

"Oh, it should be called Jade Waste Person now."

In front of the Peach Blossom Honey Shop, Flander and Zhao Wuji stared at the gate of Peach Blossom Academy, gossiping as usual. They vaguely saw Su Ran and Bibi Dong standing together, and the two of them went on a wild gossip session.

A short while later, the Pope's figure disappeared into the depths of the peach blossoms, following the white-robed youth.

Before leaving, it's unclear what the Pope said to the man in black at the school gate.

The man in black turned his head and walked towards their peach blossom shop, his dark eyes scanning Flander and Zhao Wuji twice.

This frightened Flander and Zhao Wuji so much that they quickly brought over a stool for the ghost, and respectfully said:

"Isn't this Elder Ghost of the Spirit Hall?"

"Elder Ghost's presence is an honor to our humble abode. Please have a seat."

"Elder Ghost, would you like to buy peach blossom honey?"

The ghostly figure sneered, "Yes, how much is a jar of your peach blossom honey?"

“Five…” Zhao Wuji was about to blurt out the price when Flander stopped him with a look.

Flander said with a smile, "Elder Ghost, our peach blossom honey is different from that of other places. Those who are destined to buy it will pay one thousand gold soul coins per jar."

"A thousand gold soul coins in a jar? Is the jar made of meteorite iron from outer space, or is the honey made of gold?" Ghostly eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hey, Elder Ghost, you don't know this. Look at this season, where are the peach blossoms anymore? This wine is made from the peach blossoms of Peach Blossom Academy."

"Okay, then give me two cans."

Ghost took out two large bags of gold soul coins and placed them on the table.

Flander and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with smiles. Setting aside their doubts, they pretended to rummage through the cabinet for a while before finally finding two jars of [Premium Peach Blossom Honey] and placing them in front of the ghost.

"Elder Ghost, what do you think?"

"Okay, it's alright."

The ghost picked up the two jars of peach blossom honey and suddenly asked Flander and Zhao Wuji:

"But, is your honey sweet enough?"

"Elder Ghost, what are you saying? I run a honey shop, would I sell you raw, bitter honey?"

Ghostly snorted coldly and slammed two jars of peach blossom honey onto the table: "I'm asking you, is this honey guaranteed to be sweet?"

"Elder Ghost, are you here to cause trouble?" Flander's expression changed. Ghostly, this is bad news.

"Not guaranteed sweetness? And you still dare to sell it for 1,000 gold soul coins? If you can't run this shop, then don't. You even dare to rip off His Holiness the Pope, you've got some nerve!"

A wicked smile appeared on the ghostly face:
"You want gold soul coins so badly? I'll give them to you, but each of you has to eat a thousand gold soul coins today, and we'll call it even. Otherwise, hehehe~"

Nine spirit rings appeared beneath the ghost's feet, their terrifying power instantly locking Flander and Zhao Wuji in place. Several ghostly hands gripped their necks, pressed them onto the table, and began shoving the two bags of gold spirit coins into their mouths.

"You like money? This time you'll have a good meal!"

"Uuuuuuu~"

Half an hour later, the ghost left the peach blossom shop.

Flander and Zhao Wuji were beaten black and blue, their bellies bulging like those of women seven or eight months pregnant, and tears of regret welled up in their eyes.
We will never dare to sell honey at high prices again!
