This made her quite excited, and even more grateful that she had accepted Lin Jie as her disciple.
This way, Lin Jie would be her closest person in the future.
Although Lin Jie had only just joined the Spirit Hall and become her disciple today,
she still admired him immensely for his strength, knowledge, and wisdom. She would never let Lin Jie leave her again. If he dared to even think about leaving her, she might do something she couldn't imagine.
Bibi Dong sat up straight and looked at Lin Jie, saying, "Tell me what you think."
It seemed like he had spoken to her heart.
Lin Jie then shared some of his thoughts with Bibi Dong.
What was needed to build an empire, how to build an empire, and how to win the hearts and minds of the people after establishing an empire. And then, how to destroy the two empires.
Before destroying the empires, he would also have to destroy the powerful sects. Those who surrendered would be brought under his wing; those who refused would be killed without mercy.
To unify the continent, one must go through a bloodbath; there was no room for mercy.
Since ancient times, it has been said that kindness does not wield military power, while righteousness guards wealth.
After hearing Lin Jie's thoughts, Bibi Dong became even more satisfied with him.
"Very good, your thoughts are similar to mine."
At this moment, Bibi Dong had the idea of treating Lin Jie as a confidant, because she realized that at this moment, no one understood her better than Lin Jie.
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Jie with some excitement and asked, "However, if you do this, you will provoke a war across the entire continent, and many people will die. Do you think you are a bad person for doing this?" "
What is a bad person and what is a good person? There is no absolute good or evil in this world, only an imbalance of interests. Just like hunting soul beasts, from the perspective of soul beasts, all soul masters are bad people. But from the perspective of soul masters, they think hunting soul beasts is just what they should do. Good and bad can be interchangeable. There is no absolute definition.
I believe that only unification can reduce war.
The continent has two major empires, countless kingdoms, and powerful sects. The struggle between forces never stops. The number of people killed in the imperial wars and the struggles between forces is unimaginable." "
And unifying the continent can bring peace to the continent. This is a great cause. So, teacher, not only are you not a bad person, but in the future, when the empire unifies the continent, you will be a great man."
How can the unification of the continent be described in terms of good or bad? To describe it in terms of good or bad is too narrow-minded.
As for the two empires and some uncontrolled sects, they only care about their own growth and expansion, completely oblivious to the future of the continent, let alone the benefits that unification would bring to the world.
They only know that it would not benefit them in the present, but would only undermine their current power.
Just like some spirit masters, they have never considered developing alternative spirit master systems.
They only care about hunting spirit beasts, not considering what spirit masters would do if spirit beasts were no longer available.
"Good, very good, very well said."
Bibi Dong smiled, stood up, and looked at Lin Jie with increasing satisfaction.
Many of what Lin Jie said had never occurred to her.
Initially, she simply wanted to unify the continent, establish the Wuhun Empire, break free from the constraints of Qian Daoliu, and fulfill her own ambitions. Now, after listening to Lin Jie's words, she felt as if a light had suddenly opened.
Few people in this world understood her. Even those she once loved resented and hated him. Sometimes, Bibi Dong was shocked and even suspected she was a bad person. Now, after listening to Lin Jie's words, she was more resolute.
She looked at Lin Jie as if she were a close friend.
"However, it's not time to establish the Spirit Empire yet. It'll take some time. Do you understand, Master?"
"Master, I understand. And I also feel it's not the right time yet."
"Yes. I'm glad you understand. As for the establishment of the Spirit Empire, I'll explain it to you in detail later. Today is your first day at the Spirit Hall. I've talked with you for so long. I'm sure you're a little tired. I'll arrange a place for you to rest."
"Yes, Master."
"As for Zhu Zhuyun from the Zhu family of the Xingluo Empire, you can handle it yourself."
And just like that, Lin Jie became Bibi Dong's disciple. After becoming Bibi Dong's disciple, Bibi Dong frankly told Lin Jie that she had nothing to teach him. Lin Jie didn't care. What mattered to him was that as Bibi Dong's disciple, he could use the Spirit Hall's resources. This would allow him to implement many of his plans. Furthermore, Bibi Dong also told Lin Jie to come to her if he needed anything. Naturally
, Lin Jie wasn't shy about that. He directly expressed his desire to further research spirit power, spirit rings, spirit bones, and even spirit guides, hoping that Bibi Dong would share relevant information about the Spirit Hall with him. Bibi Dong didn't hesitate, but immediately agreed.
Under Bibi Dong's satisfied gaze, Lin Jie arrived at his residence.
As Bibi Dong's disciple, his residence was naturally neither too far nor too close to Bibi Dong.
After Lin Jie arrived at his residence, Bibi Dong instructed one or two maids to guide him through the Spirit Hall.
Zhu Zhuyun, on the other hand, paced restlessly after being taken to a room.
That evening, Lin Jie, guided by the maids, spent the afternoon wandering around. After dinner, he returned to his room. Zhu Zhuyun was in the room next to his.
As for why Zhu Zhuyun was next door, it was because Lin Jie had someone bring her there.
Lin Jie didn't knock on Zhu Zhuyun's door, but walked right in.
Zhu Zhuyun, who had been sitting upright, jumped up subconsciously at the sound of the door opening. Only when she saw it was Lin Jie did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun's expression, Lin Jie smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"
"You, you actually became a disciple of the Spirit Hall's Pope."
Zhu Zhuyun didn't reply, but instead spoke in disbelief.
She had overheard their discussion when she was brought here.
She was simply in disbelief that Lin Jie could actually become the Pope's disciple.
"I told you that entering the Spirit Hall would save your life. Look, haven't I done that?"
"Also, from today on, you are my maid. If you want to live well in the Spirit Hall, then be good, understand? Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to you tomorrow."
"You..."
Zhu Zhuyun dared not speak out, because Lin Jie was absolutely right. Now in the Spirit Hall, he was the only one who could save her life. Here, she was no longer the renowned eldest daughter of the Zhu family of the Xingluo Empire.
Lin Jie was exhausted after Bibi Dong's long talk this morning. He walked over to the sofa and sat down. He looked at Zhu Zhuyun and ordered without hesitation, "Come quickly! My shoulders are a little sore. Come and massage them for me."
"Dreamy! Who's your maid?" Zhu Zhuyun said angrily.
"Are you really not coming? Alas, that's a shame. In the Spirit Hall, you have no say or personal freedom in dealing with this eldest daughter of the Zhu family. Since you don't want to, I'll have to talk to the teacher. Zhu Zhuyun attacked the Pope's disciple. Do you know the consequences?"
"You..."
Hearing Lin Jie's dangerous words, Zhu Zhuyun gritted her teeth and reluctantly approached.
Slowly, she stretched out her slender, jade-like hand, placed it on Lin Jie's shoulder, and began to massage it.
"Didn't you eat? Harder."
"Asshole,"
Zhu Zhuyun cursed, but her hands didn't stop moving.
"Harder, yes, yes, just like that. Oh, it feels so good. If Zhuqing knew her sister was like this, she'd be so happy."
Zhu Zhuyun subconsciously increased the pressure on her hands when she heard Lin Jie mention Zhu Zhuqing.
"Do you know why I kept you, Zhuyun? It's to help Zhu Zhuqing vent her anger. Having you as a maid would be great. The eldest daughter of the Zhu family, you should have been the empress of the Xingluo Empire. What a pity."
Zhu Zhuyun felt she was about to lose control. Lin Jie was such a jerk.
"Zhu Zhuyun, I say, why don't you just stay with me instead of your cold-blooded family? Even if you can only be a maid, at least you can still live, don't you think?"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhuyun's face changed. What did Lin Jie mean?
"It's exactly what it says. As for how you interpret it, it's up to you."
The next day, news of Lin Jie becoming a disciple of Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, spread throughout the continent.
As the champion of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition and known as the most gifted individual, Lin Jie surprised those who followed the Spirit Hall and Lin Jie upon learning that he had joined. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, one of the factions that knew the Spirit Hall best and had the most
interest
in
Lin Jie, was momentarily silent upon receiving the news that Bibi Dong had accepted Lin Jie as a disciple.
He was one of those who valued Lin Jie the most and had once attempted to recruit him, but Lin Jie had refused. Now that word had spread that Lin Jie had become a disciple of Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall's Pope, he felt deeply uneasy.
Furthermore, his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall were rival forces, and Lin Jie had taken away his daughter's body and soul. If he felt comfortable with this, he wouldn't be Ning Fengzhi.
"Fengzhi, that kid Lin Jie has stolen Rongrong's soul. Now Rongrong comes to me every day to ask for information about him. Furthermore, the Spirit Hall attacked Shrek Academy back then, and now there's suddenly news that he's become a disciple of the Spirit Hall's Pope. Is that credible?" Chen Xin, dressed in a white robe, frowned. "This
is information released by the Spirit Hall's Pope, so its authenticity is irrelevant. What I don't understand is why Lin Jie joined the Spirit Hall when he should know the true face of the Spirit Hall."
Ning Fengzhi had also spoken to Lin Jie about the Spirit Hall before. Moreover, Lin Jie had also been attacked by the Spirit Hall, and that 100,000-year-old transformed spirit beast was almost hunted down by the Spirit Hall. So why did Lin Jie still want to join the Spirit Hall? As one of the people who knew Lin Jie's talent and strength best, Ning Fengzhi couldn't understand.
