However.
Strangely, Haiyue never gave any orders.
The atmosphere inside the main hall became somewhat eerie.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Bibi Dong's smug face.
She shook her head, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at Bibi Dong.
"What are you laughing at?"
Bibi Dong frowned.
"How can you still laugh when you're about to die?"
Qianyu finally put down the wine glass in her hand.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Haiyue indifferently.
"Alright."
"Stop teasing her."
His tone was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable air of authority.
It was as if he were instructing his maid.
Bibi Dong was taken aback.
How dare Qianyu speak to the Sea Moon Empress in such a tone?
Is he crazy?
This is the Empress of the Sea Moon Empire, an unparalleled powerhouse who controls the power of the moon!
"Are you looking for death?"
"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Empress!"
Bibi Dong was about to seize the opportunity to angrily rebuke Qian Yu.
But the next second.
Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Haiyue respectfully lowered her head and softly replied:
"Yes, Master."
The way he called out "Master" was so natural, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Bibi Dong froze on the spot.
She suspected there was something wrong with her ears.
Master...Master?
The Moon Queen calls Qianyu her master?
How is this possible?!
Before she could recover from the enormous shock, the golden list in the sky changed again.
The vast golden light converged into several large characters.
[Announcement of Subordinate Forces of Jixia Academy]
[First Branch: Haiyue Empire! ]
[Second Branch: The Great Tang Empire!]
[Third Branch: Mo Family Mechanical City!]
[Fourth Branch: Mystic Sound Pavilion!]
...
"Jixia Academy? What kind of organization is that?"
Bibi Dong subconsciously looked up, muttering to herself.
But then, as the contents of the list were displayed, her face instantly turned ashen.
"What?"
"The Haiyue Empire, the Tang Dynasty Empire, these behemoths... are all backed by the same force?"
"How is this possible?!"
Bibi Dong was so shocked that she took several steps back.
Although she is no longer in office, her judgment of the world situation remains.
Any one of these forces, taken individually, would be enough to dominate a region.
If they all belong to one faction.
How terrifying must this force be?
It could even be said that this force has already taken control of the lifeline of half the continent!
Hu Liena stood behind Bibi Dong, her red lips covered and her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Teacher...this is terrifying."
"Where exactly did this Jixia Academy come from?"
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart.
Her gaze swept over Haiyue, then looked at the majestic figures of the empresses on the golden list.
A thought suddenly popped into her mind.
"What kind of man could control such a powerful force?"
"How could someone so extraordinary as Haiyue and Wu Zetian willingly submit to him?"
A strong sense of curiosity welled up in Bibi Dong's heart, and there was even a hint of jealousy.
She considered herself to be exceptionally talented and beautiful.
If she hadn't been blind enough to fall for that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang back then, she wouldn't be in this predicament.
If only I could encounter such a peerless hero...
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered slightly.
She tidied her appearance, making herself look more dignified and charming.
"Queen Haiyue."
Bibi Dong's voice softened slightly, carrying a hint of probing.
"I wonder if the important person behind you is here today?"
"Although I am now in a sorry state, I was once a pope."
"Whether it's looks, figure, or methods and intellect, I believe I am second to none among women in the world."
"May I ask Your Majesty for an introduction?"
"If I could gain the favor of that lord, perhaps I could also contribute to the Jixia Academy."
Bibi Dong's words were extremely blunt.
She's clearly trying to curry favor with this mysterious big shot by selling her body.
In her view, a man who controls such a powerful force must be strong.
He is definitely a thousand times stronger than that useless Yu Xiaogang who only talks about theories but can't cultivate.
She is worlds apart from Qianyu, who only knows how to loaf around and wait to die.
If she could hook up with a man like that, Bibi Dong could not only get back everything she had lost, but could even go further!
Upon hearing this...
The air inside the hall instantly became quiet.
Da Qiao's lantern wobbled, and she almost dropped it.
Haiyue also looked at Bibi Dong with a strange expression, as if she were looking at a fool.
Qian Renxue burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!"
"Bibi Dong, you really are... shameless."
"Trying to seduce the master of Jixia Academy?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror?"
Qian Renxue pointed at Bibi Dong and laughed so hard she almost fell over.
"You want to see that person?"
"It's so far away, yet so close at hand."
Qian Renxue stretched out her finger and pointed directly at Qian Yu on the soft couch.
"Here you are, this is the important person you've been looking for."
Bibi Dong followed Qian Renxue's finger and saw Qian Yu's calm face.
A deep sneer instantly appeared on her face.
"Qian Renxue, are you crazy?"
"Him?"
"A good-for-nothing who only knows how to stay at home taking care of kids and doesn't even have a spirit ring?"
"You actually said he's the dean of the Jixia Academy?"
"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!"
Bibi Dong laughed so hard that tears almost came out.
She felt that Qian Renxue was utterly heartless and would tell any lie just to save face for Qian Yu.
"If he is the dean of Jixia Academy, then I am the god-king of the divine realm!"
"It's utterly ridiculous."
Hu Liena also shook her head, her gaze towards Qian Yu filled with disappointment.
"Miss Qian Renxue, this kind of joke is not appropriate."
"Although Qianyu is good-looking, strength and power cannot be expressed with words."
However.
Just as they were hurling their sarcasm.
The golden list in the sky once again burst forth with a dazzling light.
The image freezes.
The strongest figures from all subordinate forces—Haiyue, Wu Zetian, Li Bai, Shangguan Wan'er, Gongsun Li, Yang Yuhuan…
They all took a step back and bowed towards the empty space in the center.
Immediately afterwards.
The figure slowly emerged.
Clad in white, as beautiful as snow, with an otherworldly and refined air, he was like a celestial being descended to earth.
That face.
It was Qianyu who was sitting calmly drinking on the soft couch in the main hall at this very moment!
The next moment.
A line of large, gilded characters, like a celestial decree, stretches across the sky.
[Dean of Jixia Academy: Qian Yu!]
This moment.
The whole world seemed to have fallen silent.
Hu Liena suddenly covered her mouth and let out a gasp.
"Qianyu?!"
"It really is Chiyu?!"
Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the image on the list of successful candidates, then turned to look at Qianyu inside the hall.
Exactly the same!
Absolutely perfect!
