"Well, have you thought it over?"
Qian Daoliu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, observing the new Pope and the Saint Son. He then turned to Ye Renxin beside him, asking.
"Replying to your eminence, this junior is naturally willing, but one can't predict matters of the heart." Ye Renxin bowed slightly.
He understood Qian Renjue's talent. Her background was noble, and her bloodline was powerful. Perhaps this could indirectly pull the Ye Clan out of the mire.
But the future is full of uncertainties, especially human emotions.
Qian Daoliu understood this more thoroughly, naturally.
He waved his hand, not minding at all.
"It's fine. If that little girl really doesn't want to in the future, I won't force her."
His voice faded.
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"I still have a lot of confidence in our little Jue."
Qian Renxue stood nearby, listening to their conversation.
Immediately, he frowned.
"In that case, this junior is relieved."
Ye Renxin certainly didn't think that the strongest person in the world would deceive him.
Before the words had even finished, he took out a piece of beautiful jade from his waist.
He respectfully handed it to Qian Daoliu.
"Senior, this is a family heirloom of the Ye Clan. I trouble you to keep it for the Saint Son."
"Haha. Good! Then I will accept it on Xiao Jue's behalf."
A look of joy appeared on Qian Daoliu's face.
Holding the blood-red jade pendant engraved with the Nine-Hearted Begonia in his hand.
He pledged, "If this succeeds, I guarantee the Ye Clan's legacy will endure."
"If it fails, then the item will be returned to its original owner. This is my promise to you."
"I appreciate your efforts, Your Excellency."
Ye Renxin bowed respectfully.
"When I return home, I will also inform the younger generation of the Ye Clan about this matter."
"That is as it should be."
Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction.
He wasn't just talking nonsense.
To ensure the Ye Clan's heritage continued, all Qian Renjue needed to do was work hard.
Qian Renxue finally couldn't help but speak: "Grandpa, isn't this a bit too early?"
Qian Daoliu put away the jade pendant.
Smiling, he ruffled Qian Renxue's hair.
"The topic might be early, but the time to make it happen is still far off."
"..."
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, speechless.
That was indeed the case.
The current agreement hadn't made any real progress.
"By the way, what did your mother say about that matter?"
Qian Daoliu suddenly inquired.
Qian Renxue cleared away the awkwardness in her heart and looked up at Qian Daoliu, her red lips parting slightly.
"Mother said it ultimately depends on Grandfather's decision."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.
"And you? Have you thought it through?"
"I've already thought it through."
Qian Renxue's face was filled with determination.
Only by going out could she better do what she wanted to do!
"Sigh, so be it."
Qian Daoliu sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He then instructed: "I'll prepare everything for you. Talk to Xiao Jue sometime, alright?"
"Thank you, Grandfather."
Qian Renxue thanked him in a low voice.
Ye Renxin, who was beside them, watched silently, ignoring the exchange between the grandfather and granddaughter.
...
In the square.
The Cardinals and many Spirit Hall members had already stood up.
The Saint Son's coronation had come to an end.
Bibi Dong held Qian Renjue's hand and said softly, "Jue, from now on, you are the Saint Son of the Papal Palace, and also my disciple."
"Disciple?"
Qian Renjue raised his eyes, startled, and looked at Bibi Dong in confusion.
This matter hadn't been discussed with him beforehand.
"Hmm, you don't want to?"
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, looking at Qian Renjue with some trepidation.
According to seniority, in the eyes of outsiders, they should be senior and junior siblings.
Qian Renjue could call her Senior Sister.
But Bibi Dong didn't want that.
On the other hand, for the sake of the Spirit Hall's reputation, the fact that she and Qian Renjue were mother and son could not be made public. But calling her "Pope" was too distant. Bibi Dong didn't want it to be like this.
A teacher and a disciple seemed to be the closest relationship to that of a mother and child.
But she wouldn't force Qian Renjue.
As for what others thought, she wouldn't give it much consideration.
Pfft!
A muffled sound rang out.
Qian Renjue's actions stunned Bibi Dong, her face filled with bewilderment.
"Jue, what are you doing?"
"Bowing to become your disciple."
Qian Renjue looked up at Bibi Dong and, speaking, prepared to kowtow.
"Renjue, you don't need to kneel for the apprenticeship ceremony, just bow. Get up quickly."
Bibi Dong was both amused and exasperated.
A look of joy on her face, she quickly bent down, wanting to help Qian Renjue up from the ground.
"Uh?"
Hearing Bibi Dong's words.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qian Renjue's face, and he rose to his feet with a sheepish smile.
Bed, bed!
Bibi Dong bent down and patted Qian Renjue's knees.
After straightening his back again,
he looked up and scanned the people watching the ceremony below.
If anyone dared to snicker, they might end up on the new Pope's blacklist.
Qian Renjue didn't feel awkward for long.
He was kneeling to his mother, which was only natural, not some other person.
"Alright, everyone, disperse."
Bibi Dong raised her hand and waved her sleeve.
She then pulled her newly accepted disciple and turned to walk towards the Papal Palace.
Turning her head to look at Qian Renjue, she gently instructed, "Jue, in front of outsiders from now on, call me Teacher, okay?"
"Understood, Teacher."
Qian Renjue nodded seriously.
Bibi Dong smiled.
"Now that there's no one around, you should call me Mom."
"Okay, Mom."
"Mmm, good boy."
Guests from all directions.
They had already left one after another in the afternoon.
Ye Renxin had also prepared himself mentally and started his journey back.
In the Hall of Offerings.
Qian Renjue's surprised exclamation suddenly came out.
"Sister is leaving?!"
"Why... There aren't many strong people in the empire, why bother with so much trouble."
Below the Angel Statue.
Still in formal attire, Qian Renjue sat cross-legged on a cushion, with Qian Renxue beside him and Qian Daoliu facing them.
Faced with Qian Renjue's strong reaction.
Although Qian Renxue was happy and reluctant, she hadn't changed her mind.
What she hadn't expected, however, was that.
Qian Daoliu would take the opportunity to stab her in the back before she left.
He nodded in agreement, "Grandfather also thinks so. It's better to stay at home."
"..."
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu and couldn't help but laugh at his actions.
Ignoring him, she turned to Qian Renjue beside her.
"Jue, since you're the Saint Son now, your sister will test you."
"Test me?"
Qian Renjue was stunned.
"Yes."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
She reached out and pinched his face, which looked a little dignified against the backdrop of his clothes.
Playing like this seemed more satisfying.
Smiling, Qian Daoliu said, "Just tell me. What's the current situation of our Spirit Hall?"
Mentioning this topic, Qian Daoliu perked up, anticipating the two children's performance. Thinking like this was very important for those in positions of power.
"Sister, please don't move yet."
Qian Renjue frowned, pushing away the soft hand that was distracting him from organizing his thoughts.
Qian Renxue chuckled and stopped teasing him.
Soon, Qian Renjue summarized with a single sentence, stammering:
"We're ridiculously strong right now, the kind that has no friends."
Wishing everyone a happy life!
