Chapter 155 Bibi Dong: Since we're wrong, let's keep being wrong.
After a long and arduous journey, Jiang Nian finally returned to Wuhun City.
Who could have imagined he'd been away for so long?
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the distant Papal Palace, the excitement from a few days ago long gone from her eyes.
She lowered her head, casually kicking at the pebbles at her feet. Once she lost one, she looked up, realizing how far she had traveled.
"I'll go back and say hello to Grandpa first."
"I'll see you at the Holy Son's Palace later."
Jiang Nian nodded, glancing back at Qingyu beside him, wondering whether to take her to see their teacher.
He wondered if Bibi Dong had sent people to look for him during his year-long absence.
Just as he was hesitating, a beautiful woman with red hair approached.
"Holy Son, His Holiness the Pope requests your presence, including this woman beside you."
Jiang Nian looked up at the woman before him; she was one of the few female elders of the Wuhun Palace.
"Sister Lingyuan, did Teacher do anything big while I was gone?"
"Um... I don't think so?"
Ye Lingyuan stroked her chin. She remembered that seven months ago, Bibi Dong questioned Yue Guan about some things, and then flew into a rage, beat him up, and said she was leaving the Spirit Hall.
But she never actually left.
Every day she just sat blankly in the Pope's Hall with empty eyes.
"Really?"
Jiang Nian scratched his head, a little surprised.
Did Bibi Dong not care about him anymore?
With a skeptical attitude, he glanced at Qing Yu beside him.
No matter what, she was a spirit beast, and he had to protect her.
Of course, given her status, who in the entire Spirit Hall would dare to touch her?
Xiao Qing trusted Jiang Nian completely and had no doubts.
She followed him into the Spirit Hall.
A few seconds later, Yue Guan and Gui Mei appeared from the shadows, wiping the sweat from their foreheads, thinking that the two of them had finally brought this little rascal back here.
"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, why do you two look so...so scared?"
Ye Lingyuan asked, puzzled.
The two exchanged a glance, feeling a pang of bitterness.
"It's a long story..."
"I'll tell you when I have the chance."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei left, looking up at the Spirit Hall, thinking that they hadn't returned for several months.
"Old Gui, the sudden disappearance of the Holy Son really scared me to death. I managed to lie to the Pope for so long..."
"It's not your fault, who could have imagined it?" Gui Mei shook his head, sighing that being a guard wasn't an easy job.
If it weren't for Princess Xiao Xue and that girl saying that nothing would happen and not to tell anyone else, they really wouldn't have dared to keep it a secret.
"It's really strange, disappearing for a year...we two went in and found nothing..."
"Never mind, never mind, don't think about it too much."
Tap tap tap~
Footsteps echoed in the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong kept her eyes open, staring at the boy who entered the hall, completely ignoring the woman beside her.
Her dull pupils finally stirred.
"Teacher, I'm back," Jiang Nian said calmly. Looking at her dazed expression, the two stared at each other for a while. The charming young woman remained seated in the same position; if it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, she would have looked like a statue.
"Teacher?"
Jiang Nian asked again, and seeing no reaction, he stepped forward to see what was wrong.
He waved his hand, waving it back and forth in front of Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, stop pretending. I'm not a child anymore."
Jiang Nian sighed helplessly and pinched her cheek.
*Ding!* Successfully activated!
Bibi Dong woke up, her gaze fixed on Jiang Nian beside her, a look that seemed to regard him as a man who had abandoned his wife and children.
"You...still...know...to...come back?!"
Her voice was as cold as the depths of hell, yet this did not faze Jiang Nian.
"Going out to train, it's normal for it to take a while."
Bibi Dong instantly pinched Jiang Nian's mouth shut, a cold smile playing on her lips: "Haven't seen you in so long, you've grown taller, and your tongue's gotten sharper?"
"You dare talk back to your teacher?!"
"Let me tell you! Once your teacher, always your teacher!"
"You rebellious disciple! Not a single letter in a year, you've really grown wings, huh?"
Jiang Nian scratched his head, thinking he couldn't really blame himself.
But how could he admit it?
Before, he was too weak to resist Bibi Dong.
But now, he felt his sword was still sharp.
Qingyu's lips twitched as she watched the two bickering masters and disciples above, suddenly feeling somewhat superfluous.
After a while of commotion, Bibi Dong noticed a beautiful woman standing in the main hall.
"Who is she?"
Jiang Nian trembled, starting to ask, following his prepared words.
Bibi Dong frowned, looking at him with a mixture of satisfaction and confusion.
Her little disciple was already so strong.
Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast followed him without hesitation. In another two or three years, wouldn't he be able to ascend to heaven? Could she... really still control him?
Bibi Dong was somewhat confused, doubting that she might not even be able to defeat this kid by then.
And then, Xiao Nian would become independent and disobedient, developing his own ideas...
No!
He had to listen to her from now on!
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, her gaze towards Qingyu becoming calm: "Leave first."
The girl looked at Jiang Nian, and only after he nodded did she slowly depart.
Watching the beautiful figure depart, Bibi Dong couldn't help but sneer, "Fine! You don't even listen to me, the Pope, but only to your..."
"Xiao Nian, I am the Pope!"
Jiang Nian: "..."
He was about to roll his eyes when Bibi Dong didn't give him the chance, grabbing his neck and leading him towards the backyard.
Knowing what was about to happen, Jiang Nian immediately tensed up.
Although helping the deer was indeed very satisfying, obeying Bibi Dong time and time again would eventually kill him... no, he would eventually be controlled to death by her!
Jiang Nian tried to struggle, only to find himself like a chick, his soul power locked again.
Wait... when did this happen?!
She's using this trick again?!
"Teacher, we can't go on like this... You've already gone down the wrong path, are you going to keep making the same mistake?"
Bibi Dong stopped, a hint of hesitation on her face.
Yes... was she going to keep making the same mistake?
Xiao Nian had grown up and had his own life now.
Seeing the situation improve, Jiang Nian's face lit up, and he quickly increased his output.
"Let bygones be bygones, I'll pretend nothing happened."
"You're still my good teacher, and I'm still your good disciple."
"Is that alright?"
Bibi Dong bit her lower lip, reason telling her she couldn't continue down this path.
But... how could she possibly hold back in this situation?!
And... this kid never tells the truth; he's obviously lying to her!
"Since we're already wrong, let's just keep making the same mistake."
