Chapter 157 Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong Clash.
Qian Renxue quickly entered the Papal Palace. Finding it empty, she turned and headed towards the back.
Her steps were swift, as if afraid Jiang Nian would suffer abuse from Bibi Dong.
Tap tap tap—crisp footsteps echoed on the stone slabs, audible to both inside the bedroom. Bibi Dong's face darkened; she thought, "Who dares disturb me at this hour?"
After straightening her clothes, she stood up and left the room first.
Duang—Qian Renxue bumped into Bibi Dong's chest. Scratching her head, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes when she recognized the woman before her, but it quickly disappeared.
"Where's Jiang Nian?"
Qian Renxue looked at her expressionlessly. Their eyes met, and an inexplicable aura emanated from both of them.
"Him? He's resting. What are you doing here?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly, looking at the girl, who was about her height, with the same indifferent gaze.
"Looking for him, what else could it be?"
Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, her aura instantly turning cold. They stared at each other.
Half a minute later, Jiang Nian emerged.
Seeing the mother and daughter locked in a tense standoff, he was practically sweating bullets.
"Ahem... Teacher, Xiaoxue, what are you two doing?"
"Come in and chat, okay?"
Jiang Nian grinned, flashing a bright smile.
The two women turned their heads, looking at him expressionlessly, and said in unison, "Shut up!"
Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance, ignoring him completely.
"You can't bully Xiao Jiang anymore! He's not a child anymore; he needs his own private world!"
"He's my disciple. I can discipline him however I want. Why are you interfering?"
Bibi Dong smiled contemptuously, her eyes growing even colder.
Previously, she only thought the two had a good relationship, but she didn't expect it to be developing into a romantic relationship?
Who is Jiang Nian to dare to come here and cause trouble?!
"I..." Qian Renxue looked at the boy beside her, hesitating whether to assert her ownership.
But then she thought, no matter what, Bibi Dong is her mother. If she knew about their relationship, wouldn't she punish Xiao Jiang?
Unless, she no longer had any blood relation with her...
But how could that be possible?
Just as the two were at odds, Jiang Nian stepped forward and spoke.
"Teacher, this disciple has to go back first."
"I have finished what I was doing. Xiaoxue came to see me because I have a cultivation task to complete."
Bibi Dong opened her lips, wanting to refute, but looking into Jiang Nian's eyes, she ultimately did not refuse.
"Okay, go back."
"Remember, cultivation is the most important thing, understand?"
Jiang Nian nodded, clasped his hands in a salute, and left.
Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong, snorted coldly, and followed Xiao Jiang's footsteps.
After the two left, this woman, who had sat on the papacy for several years, felt for the first time a complex mix of emotions churning in her heart.
What should she do if Qian Renxue and Jiang Nian got together?
She had been so careful, yet she had overlooked the most likely candidate.
Oh no… she had never wanted to care about that family since the beginning.
"Xiao Nian, this is really putting me in a difficult position…"
Bibi Dong sighed, suddenly feeling a splitting headache.
She went back to her bedroom and lay on the bed, the little one's scent still lingering around her.
She looked up at the ceiling, her heart filled with turmoil.
"Xiao Jiang, that woman didn't bully you, did she?"
"No…" Jiang Nian thought for a moment, realizing she had indeed bullied him.
But, enjoying it shouldn't count, right?
"Hmm? You came back so late this time, and she didn't hit you? Kick you?"
Qian Renxue was a little surprised, wondering when Bibi Dong had become so gentle.
Before, she beat Xiao Jiang every day, whether she was in a good mood or not.
His butt gets swollen almost every few weeks.
"I kicked...I kicked, but not very hard."
Qian Renxue nodded, then sensed something was off.
She looked suspiciously into Jiang Nian's eyes, wondering if he was enjoying the expression.
"You have to tell her no in the future," the little golden retriever patted his head, his expression serious.
"If she bullies you again, I'll call Grandpa."
"I said! Only I can bully you!"
Jiang Nian's lips twitched, thinking that neither of them was good.
"Okay, I remember," the little golden retriever nodded, linking his arm with hers and walking towards the Holy Son's Hall.
Whether their actions were intimate or not didn't matter to her.
She desperately wanted the whole world to know.
But she was worried about Bibi Dong, fearing it would affect their relationship.
After all, they were master and disciple.
Unless Bibi Dong expelled Jiang Nian from the sect, severing all ties...
Qian Renxue sighed softly, deciding not to think about these things anymore.
Reaching the top of the mountain, she found that many people had already arrived:
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Ye Lingling, and Jin Yue'er.
The three girls couldn't hide their joy upon seeing Jiang Nian.
They had changed quite a bit in the year since they last met, both in height and other ways.
Jiang Nian ruffled Hu Liena's hair; her allure was growing stronger, and even a slight blink of her fox-like eyebrows could arouse a man's desire.
Ye Lingling stood quietly with her hands behind her back, like a gentle lady. She spoke very little, all her emotions seemingly conveyed through her eyes.
Qian Renxue stood with her arms crossed, watching the two girls, her warning unmistakable.
She didn't consider these two girls rivals at all, still haughtily raising her neck, making them feel uneasy.
"Sister Xue, where did you two go?"
Jin Yue'er finally ran over, pouting and looking at her with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Ahem! Of course, we went to punish evil and promote good."
"So we stayed a little longer," Qian Renxue said seriously, her playful eyes meeting hers and blinking gently.
"Really?"
"Of course."
Jin Yue'er looked at Jiang Nian and gave him a hug.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they decided to go out for a meal together.
Qian Renxue led the others away first, while Jiang Nian walked to Qingyu's side and asked if she wanted to come along.
"No, Brother Jiang Nian, I'll stay with Xiaobai."
Xiaoqing smiled, her emerald green vertical pupils flashing as she looked at Xiaobai in her arms and her lips curled up.
"Goo goo goo!"
The little white mouse trembled all over, indicating a cry for help, but Jiang Nian pretended not to see anything.
"Okay, if you need anything, just tell me."
"Mm."
Qingyu watched Jiang Nian's departing figure and gently stroked Xiaobai's head.
"Why are you so scared? I'm not going to eat you."
"Come on, give me a smile."
"Goo goo."
Xiaobai grinned, although she was a little shivering, she still smiled innocently.
"Mm..."
"It seems that only you can keep me company."
