"It seems their relationship is more complicated than I thought."
In the side hall of the main assembly hall, Qian Renxue was forcefully dragging Xuan Ming to watch the commotion.
"So?" Xuan Ming was a little helpless.
Since Yu Xiaogang had already arrived, it meant Tang San's state of mind had already collapsed. Tang Hao was probably with Tang San right now, and he would have to bring Ah Yin over to settle certain matters.
"Aren't you interested?" Qian Renxue retorted.
"Why should I be interested?" Xuan Ming asked, puzzled.
"You…" Qian Renxue was momentarily speechless.
"Aren't you worried…"
"What am I worried about?" Xuan Ming said, speechless.
"Worried about their old flames rekindling?"
Qian Renxue's eye twitched slightly, "Can't you be less direct when you speak?"
"I'm not interested in beating around the bush," Xuan Ming said.
"Besides, I don't need to worry."
"Why?" Qian Renxue asked.
"You don't care?"
Xuan Ming couldn't help but look at her as if she were an idiot, "Me, with that thing, what would I worry about?"
"Although I'm a bit suspicious, I'm not that insecure, am I?"
Qian Renxue turned her head away, "What if her taste is just unique?"
"Your taste is quite unique too," Xuan Ming said.
"To actually be interested in someone like me."
Qian Renxue said, looking unconvinced, "No matter how unique my taste is, it's a million times better than hers!"
"Yes, you're amazing. If you're interested, keep watching. I have things to do." Xuan Ming turned to leave.
Qian Renxue grabbed him, pulling him back. "Why are you running? Are you scared?"
Xuan Ming sighed, "Alright, I'm scared. Can you let me hide for a bit?"
Qian Renxue's eyes were a bit complex, but she still let go of Xuan Ming.
"Thank you." Xuan Ming turned to leave, but then saw Qian Renxue about to rush out, which scared him into quickly stepping forward to block her.
"What are you doing?" Xuan Ming was a bit confused.
If Qian Renxue went out now, what kind of scene would that be?
"I'm going to burn him," Qian Renxue said.
"This has nothing to do with you; it's her private matter," Xuan Ming said helplessly.
"But it has something to do with you," Qian Renxue said.
"She can't do it, so I will."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue began to gather Holy Spirit in her hand. With her current cultivation, if Yu Xiaogang were hit by her even once, he would ascend to heaven on the spot!
Xuan Ming's expression changed. He quickly grabbed Qian Renxue's hand, activated his Domain, and forcibly suppressed her spirit power. "Are you out of your mind?"
"You're the one out of your mind!" Qian Renxue's eyebrows shot up.
"Don't think I can't tell you're scared. I'll do what you don't dare to do."
Xuan Ming took a deep breath, "Even if I really minded this, it wouldn't be your place to act."
"You don't act, she doesn't act, and then I just watch you sulk?" Qian Renxue asked.
"I can't stand it!"
"You can't stand it? Haven't you angered me enough times?" Xuan Ming said, speechless.
"I can bully you, but no one else can!" Qian Renxue said coldly.
Xuan Ming paused slightly, then sighed helplessly, "Alright, I know you mean well, but this really isn't what you think."
"Then what is it?" Qian Renxue persisted.
"Since she can't let go of old feelings, what right does she have to contend with me?"
"Eating from the bowl while still eyeing the pot?"
"If she doesn't make things clear today, I'll smash her pot!"
As she spoke, Qian Renxue's Angelic Domain also activated, about to forcibly break free from Xuan Ming's suppression.
Seeing Qian Renxue's determined stance to rush out, Xuan Ming took a step forward and gently embraced her. "Let her handle it herself, okay?"
Qian Renxue's body stiffened. She gritted her teeth and retracted her Holy Spirit fire. "You're always so patient with her, but not with me?"
"If I weren't patient with you, you'd have become a frozen specimen long ago," Xuan Ming said helplessly.
Qian Renxue frowned and bit down on Xuan Ming's side neck.
Xuan Ming raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a warm sensation on his neck. "Are you a dog?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue bit down harder, but couldn't break his defense no matter what.
Xuan Ming sighed, letting her vent.
Unless she used her spirit power, she couldn't harm him in the slightest.
"What's dripping down? And it's warm… you're not drooling, are you?"
"…"
Inside the main assembly hall, Yu Xiaogang struggled to stand up, his voice trembling: "Supreme Pontiff, even if you are unwilling to revisit the past, regarding the cultivation method for twin spirits, please consider our past relationship…"
Bibi Dong leaned lazily on her throne, tapping her finger lightly on the armrest: "If I weren't considering our past relationship, the first time you misspoke, you would already be a corpse."
"As for Tang San, since he is Tang Hao's son, he is destined to be an enemy of Spirit Hall. Why should I help him?"
Yu Xiaogang said urgently: "Tang San has never actively made an enemy of Spirit Hall. He only wants to become stronger to protect those around him. If you are willing to guide him, I guarantee that he will be eternally grateful in the future and will never be an enemy of Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong sneered: "Guarantee? Do you think I'm still the Bibi Dong who easily believed promises back then? Yu Xiaogang, your words hold no weight with me anymore."
"Supreme Pontiff…"
"Enough." Bibi Dong interrupted, "If there's nothing else, I shall see you out."
Yu Xiaogang stood stunned. He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to be so heartless.
Since losing all dignity couldn't achieve his goal, he said no more and turned to leave.
"Wait." Bibi Dong spoke again.
Yu Xiaogang's steps paused, a glimmer of hope igniting in his eyes—she still couldn't let go after all.
"Hand over the papal decree," Bibi Dong said indifferently, "That thing is not for you to hold."
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed: "Supreme Pontiff, this…"
"Do I need to say it again?" Bibi Dong's voice turned cold.
Yu Xiaogang dared not disobey. He tremblingly took out the token, symbolizing the Supreme Pontiff's personal presence, from his embrace.
Bibi Dong beckoned with her finger, and the token flew into her hand.
"If I'm not mistaken, this was given to you by Tang Hao, wasn't it? Yes, he was the Clear Sky Sect's heir back then, so it's reasonable for him to hold this decree." Bibi Dong toyed with the token, her eyes growing colder.
"But since he gave this to you, it means the Clear Sky Sect has given up this privilege."
"Since that's the case…" Bibi Dong's eyes sharpened, and fierce spirit power instantly enveloped the token.
With a harsh cracking sound, the papal decree, symbolizing supreme glory, instantly turned to dust and scattered on the ground.
"This object is useless now."
Yu Xiaogang looked at the fragments on the ground, his body trembling slightly, humiliation and unwillingness almost drowning him. He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms.
"Now, you may leave," Bibi Dong said coldly, as if she had merely crushed an ordinary stone.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure. He looked up and gazed deeply at Bibi Dong: "What happened today, I, Yu Xiaogang, will engrave in my heart."
After speaking, he staggered towards the door.
In the side hall, Qian Renxue finally gave up her attempt to bite Xuan Ming to death. Looking at Bibi Dong's way of handling things, she was still not satisfied: "Why didn't she just kill that guy?"
Xuan Ming was helpless: "He came holding a papal decree, and he is the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Sect Master. If he died in Spirit Hall, how would you explain it?"
"I…" Qian Renxue was momentarily speechless.
"The show's over, time to go back, isn't it?" Xuan Ming said, "If she saw you like this, what do you think would happen?"
"Guess?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, "Why guess?"
Before Xuan Ming could react, she suddenly grabbed him, kicked open the hall door, and rushed into the main assembly hall.
Hearing the commotion, Bibi Dong turned her head, looking at Qian Renxue, who was dressed exactly like her, and Xuan Ming, whom she was dragging. A complex expression flashed in her eyes.
"Childish."
"Satisfied, young miss?" Xuan Ming said helplessly, "I really have something to deal with."
Qian Renxue took a deep breath and released Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming looked at Bibi Dong: "I'm leaving first. You two… don't start a fight."
"Not that far," Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Renxue, "She's not worthy yet."
"You!" Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly: "What, want to try?"
Qian Renxue suppressed her anger: "You just wait!"
…Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang was staggering towards the Spirit Hall's main gate. Bibi Dong's Slaughter God Domain impact was too powerful for him, a Spirit Grandmaster below level thirty, and he was still pale and weak all over.
Only his last shred of dignity kept him from collapsing to the ground.
As he walked, with the Spirit Hall's gate not far away, three tall figures suddenly appeared in front, blocking his path.
It was Gold Crocodile and his two companions, who had just returned after investigating the site where Xuan Ming and Qian Renxue were attacked earlier.
"Elder Golden Crocodile?" Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened, and he quickly lowered his head.
Gold Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly, "You are… Yu Xiaogang? What are you doing here?"
Although a large part of the old mess was due to that brat Qian Xunji messing things up, ultimately, this little scoundrel from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was the cause!
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and bravely said: "I…"
"Alright, come with me." Gold Crocodile Douluo interrupted Yu Xiaogang, not wanting to hear his nonsense.
The matter between Bibi Dong and Xuan Ming would ultimately have to be exposed by an outsider, and one with a certain influence.
He had been wondering who to use as a pawn, and this kid just delivered himself.
No matter how useless, this kid was, after all, once a theoretical Grandmaster with some renown, and his ties to Spirit Hall were very special, being the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Sect Master.
Perfect. Dethroning Bibi Dong and consolidating Spirit Hall's power could also be an opportunity to legitimately suppress the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
