Upon seeing the Grand Elder of the Hall of Offerings, the only one in the entire Spirit Hall qualified to rival Bibi Dong, everyone was overjoyed, but dared not utter a word of obedience, because according to the system, they were under the jurisdiction of the Papal Palace, not the Hall of Offerings.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's gaze narrowed slightly as she glanced at Qian Daoliu outside the door, then waved irritably at the people below.
Everyone felt a great sense of relief upon seeing this. They bowed repeatedly to Bibi Dong and then left the main hall. Judging from their hurried steps, it was as if the Papal Palace was some kind of forbidden or dangerous place.
"What are you here for?"
After dismissing her subordinates, Bibi Dong straightened up and looked sharply at Qian Daoliu with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
"Chen Yao appeared and walked down the street without any restraint."
Qian Daoliu stepped forward, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said.
Both of them held high positions, and Bibi Dong understood Qian Daoliu's words all too well. He was simply saying that Chen Yao's willingness to come out meant that he was no longer afraid of her!
"Are you here to see my joke?"
Bibi Dong's expression turned somewhat ugly as she stared intently at Qian Daoliu.
She knew perfectly well that when she gave the order to search for Chen Yao's whereabouts, that old fellow Qian Daoliu had been secretly obstructing her. If she hadn't rushed directly to the Hall of Worship and almost turned the entire hall upside down, Qian Daoliu would have been concerned about the consequences and was also wary of her strength. It would have been a question whether her order could have been carried out at all.
Now that this old man has come to the Papal Palace and said these words to her, Bibi Dong naturally assumes that he's here to laugh at her!
Surprisingly, Qian Daoliu did not make any sarcastic or mocking remarks. Instead, he shook his head and spoke calmly.
"The relationships between you young people are too complicated. This old man doesn't want to get involved. I didn't come here to see you make a fool of yourself, as you said."
I just want to ask you one question: Our Spirit Hall has supported you from humble beginnings to where you are today; have we ever treated you with the slightest disrespect?
Bibi Dong was taken aback by what she heard, her mind racing, before she subconsciously shook her head.
Perhaps she once harbored resentment towards the Spirit Hall because of Yu Xiaogang, but later, she encountered that scoundrel Chen Yao, who so abruptly extinguished her feelings for Yu Xiaogang and replaced them with his.
After regaining her senses regarding Yu Xiaogang's attitude, she also realized how foolish she had been to be so devoted to a cultivation failure who stole the Spirit Hall's knowledge to enhance his own reputation.
Looking back, she felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't imagine what would have happened to her if she had acted recklessly and disregarded everything for Yu Xiaogang!
Especially after she inherited the position of Pope, she had her own disciple, Hu Liena, a commoner genius she discovered a few years ago, who stood in the position of Qian Xunji in the past.
Putting herself in Hu Liena's shoes, if she were to become as infatuated with a fickle and unreliable person as she once was, Bibi Dong had no doubt that she would be just as furious as Qian Xunji had been, and order them to be separated.
Therefore, after understanding Qian Xunji's good intentions, Bibi Dong naturally couldn't blame Qian Xunji for the Yu Xiaogang incident; instead, she had to thank him.
However, even so, later, due to Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong's relationship with the Hall of Offerings was rifted again. It can only be said that Bibi Dong seems to have been born at odds with the Hall of Offerings family, and it is impossible to avoid it no matter what.
At this moment, seeing that Bibi Dong had no objections, Qian Daoliu also nodded.
"Fine, since my Spirit Hall, or rather the Hall of Offerings, has never treated you poorly, why do you have to be confrontational with my Hall of Offerings?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong, who had been somewhat dazed, turned sour again.
"You still have the nerve to say that? Chen Yao is my man, he has been for a long time. But that Qian Renxue, who was only a few years old, had her eye on him, and you, you old scoundrel, were even fanning the flames behind the scenes!"
Bibi Dong's voice was furious, but Qian Daoliu's face remained calm and he maintained his smile despite her anger.
“In this matter, my Hall of Offerings did not act properly, but Chen Yao did not refuse, did he? Besides, you say that Chen Yao is your man, but does Chen Yao consider you his man? Or rather, if Chen Yao really cannot live without you, even if I wanted to, I would be powerless, and he would not leave the Spirit Hall.”
As Bibi Dong listened, her expression grew increasingly grim, and her soul power uncontrollably overflowed, filling the entire hall with an evil aura so thick it was almost tangible.
But Qian Daoliu seemed oblivious to this terrifying pressure, continuing to speak as if nothing was amiss.
"I've learned from Xue'er what you and Xue'er did to Chen Yao in that secret room. To be honest, it was very stupid. I don't know how you two came up with such a way to deal with Chen Yao."
But I can only say that any normal man in the world would find this unacceptable, let alone someone like Chen Yao. By doing this, you're essentially pushing Chen Yao into a life-or-death situation with you.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's body trembled violently.
"A fight to the death?"
Bibi Dong murmured, feeling as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart, making her feel suffocated.
She had actually anticipated this long ago. When Chen Yao first returned to the Spirit Hall, wasn't she worried about this situation and that's why she hesitated and planned to slowly boil the frog in the water?
However, due to a certain pride in his heart at the time, he was unwilling to make it clear, and Chen Yao was unsure of Bibi Dong's thoughts, so he was suspicious and naturally had nothing but thoughts of running away with the bucket in his mind.
In the end, Chen Yao succeeded. However, due to the sense of crisis brought about by Qian Renxue and her anger at Chen Yao's escape, Bibi Dong did not leave any room for negotiation when she captured Chen Yao again. She took coercive measures, which put their relationship in a precarious state.
Bibi Dong initially thought Chen Yao had resigned himself to his fate, given his obedient demeanor, and didn't think much of it.
But after Chen Yao ran away again, she realized her mistake and regretted it, but it was too late. All she could do was make things worse and try to find Chen Yao again at all costs!
But now, Chen Yao seems to be completely unafraid of her and the entire Spirit Hall, which has left Bibi Dong utterly bewildered.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Bibi Dong was uneasy. She looked at Qian Daoliu, and her tone was no longer so aggressive. She could tell that Qian Daoliu was not there to provoke her, but rather to offer advice. This gave her a glimmer of hope.
Seeing that Bibi Dong's attitude had improved, Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction.
“What you and Xue’er did before was indeed a bit too much, but you should have guessed it. During this time, Xue’er has been staying by Chen Yao’s side. Doesn’t that prove that Chen Yao has put aside his past grievances and accepted Xue’er? And Chen Yao’s ability to accept Xue’er naturally means that you and Chen Yao have not completely become strangers.”
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was excited, and her eyes immediately brightened. She was about to listen to what Qian Daoliu had to say when she noticed that the old man had suddenly fallen silent, and his gaze held a hint of amusement.
Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong's lips twitched, and she immediately understood what the old man meant. She was secretly annoyed, but the situation was pressing, so Bibi Dong coughed lightly, forced a stiff smile, and said awkwardly.
"Well, Master Qian, there may have been some minor frictions between us in the past, but it was all a misunderstanding. I hope that the Papal Palace and the Hall of Offerings can cooperate sincerely in the future and work together for the development of the Spirit Hall."
"Humph!"
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Qian Daoliu felt a surge of secret pleasure. Although Bibi Dong's attitude was somewhat forced, the little girl who had been unruly for years had finally softened, allowing him to vent his anger. He couldn't help but hum a couple of times.
However, Qian Daoliu dared not go too far, otherwise, not only would the Pope not resolve the conflict between the two shops, but he would also add fuel to the fire.
Without keeping everyone in suspense, he continued.
"You should know that Chen Yao is indeed a bit outrageous. Before he made his fortune, even before he was fully grown up, he already had quite a few mistresses in the city."
At this point, Qian Daoliu quietly raised his eyes and saw that Bibi Dong's expression was only slightly unpleasant as she fell into thought and remained silent. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"With Chen Yao's restless nature, even if he loses Qian Renxue, he'll still have Zhang Renxue, Bai Renxue, and so on."
As far as I know, Chen Yao appeared in Tian Dou City this time with several beauties by his side. Among them, Willow Leaf Grass Academy has three peerless beauties, including the dean, who can be called the three beauties of Tian Du City. Do you think Chen Yao's visit to Willow Leaf Grass Academy is unrelated to these three people?
Therefore, you don't need to focus all your energy on dealing with Xue'er. Xue'er has been close to you since childhood, and you even call each other sisters. You are also both inheritors of divine power, so you should be very close. Instead of racking your brains to deal with Xue'er, you should think about how to deal with the women around Chen Yao.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression became somewhat uncertain, and she clenched her fists as if she were enduring something.
Upon seeing this, Qian Daoliu quickly offered a reminder.
“I’ve watched you grow up. I know you’ve been extreme, stubborn, and possessive since you were little. You don’t allow others to touch your things, and you don’t even like your teacher stepping into your own home. But you need to understand that Chen Yao is not one of those objects that you can manipulate at will.”
On the contrary, he is equally arrogant, likes to be in control of everything, and possesses terrifying talent and strength. If you don't completely overwhelm and control his power, and instead insist on your original idea of keeping him under your control and not allowing anyone else to interfere, Chen Yao will definitely not let you manipulate him. In the end, the two of you will probably truly become strangers!
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, Bibi Dong still didn't react. Her face was gloomy, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Upon seeing this, Qian Daoliu was immediately enraged and shouted.
"I just don't understand. You used to be so obedient to that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, so why are you so stubborn with Chen Yao? If you don't want to go along with Chen Yao, fine, go find Yu Xiaogang. That good-for-nothing has no ability to resist you. You can do whatever you want with him!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was immediately jolted awake. The reason she acted that way back then was probably because she harbored deep resentment towards Chen Yao for what he had done to her when he forced himself on her, and she wanted to vent it. Although she had vented it now, she was also growing further and further away from Chen Yao, and she didn't want things to stay like this.
If she were to truly become estranged from Chen Yao, she probably wouldn't even know what she would become.
Perhaps, he will completely descend into madness, destroying everything in a frenzy, and then creating a world where only Chen Yao exists?
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong felt a chill run down her spine. She dared not think any further and did not want things to develop to that point.
As for Yu Xiaogang? Forget it, just thinking about it makes me shudder.
By the way, is that guy still alive or dead?
Last time, it seems she was just thrown out of Wuhun City. Why not find her and kill her instead, so as not to annoy people?
As thoughts raced through her mind, Yu Xiaogang was a minor matter, but when the issue returned to Chen Yao, Bibi Dong's expression turned bitter again.
"I can try to restrain myself, but how can I ease the tension in my current relationship with Chen Yao?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 215 The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Suffers Misfortune
As thoughts raced through her mind, Yu Xiaogang was a minor matter, but when the issue returned to Chen Yao, Bibi Dong's expression turned bitter again.
"I can try to restrain myself, but how can I ease the tension in my current relationship with Chen Yao?"
"Your Holiness, since Chen Yao was able to accept Xue'er despite past grievances, it means he can accept you as well. As long as you can make some changes, it shouldn't be too difficult. But what you need to do is find Chen Yao and have a good talk with him, instead of sitting here wallowing in self-pity."
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Bibi Dong felt a jolt of realization and gained some understanding, but she still had reservations.
"Is he able to talk to me properly?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu was speechless. Bibi Dong was so decisive in her policies, yet she was so indecisive about this trivial matter.
“Pope, this is not like you. You have always been a very confident person since childhood. I am sure that you are the woman who is most deeply involved with Chen Yao, and your appearance is also one of the best in the world. Even Ceci is not inferior to you. If you soften your attitude, Chen Yao will most likely not hold your past actions against you.”
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong felt relieved and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Your Holiness. I know what to do. Once I'm ready, I'll go to Heaven Dou City."
After saying this, Bibi Dong got up and left the main hall.
As Qian Daoliu gazed at Bibi Dong's departing figure, he was slightly lost in thought and couldn't help but sigh.
"Young people are impulsive, but I was young once too."
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu turned around and looked at the azure sky dotted with wispy white clouds. His cloudy eyes became misty, and a hint of reminiscence flashed across them.
"Ceci, so many years have passed, how are you? Are you still waiting for him?"
"Shhhhh!"
Liu Erlong put down his pen and focused intently on processing the documents.
But unlike before, the office didn't have that gloomy atmosphere that was almost solidified.
Instead, it was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.
A smile would occasionally appear on her face.
Clearly, the mental and physical clarity she had experienced a few days ago had left her feeling neither angry nor annoyed, and she had become incredibly docile.
"Dong dong!"
Just as Liu Erlong was in a good mood, there was a sudden knock on the door.
I don't know who it is, but it's obviously not Chen Yao. That guy wouldn't be so polite. So Liu Erlong gently put down his pen, maintained a dignified appearance, and spoke.
