Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's hatred inexplicably dissipated a bit, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness, and... a trace of regret hidden in her heart.
Hu Liena sat to the side, changing Bibi Dong's dressing.
She was so shocked by the rankings displayed on the screen that she couldn't close her mouth.
"teacher..."
"Tang San is completely inferior to Dean Qian Yu."
"Dean Qianyu's strength has probably already surpassed the realm of gods, hasn't it?"
As Hu Liena spoke, she secretly observed Bibi Dong's expression.
She actually had a little scheme in mind all along.
If the teacher could remarry Qianyu, wouldn't she, as Bibi Dong's disciple, become Qianyu's "stepdaughter" or... someone close to her?
In that case, wouldn't she also have a chance to get close to that god-like man?
After all, a man as powerful, handsome, and influential as Qianyu is an irresistible poison for any woman.
"Teacher, where are we going?"
Hu Liena asked cautiously.
"Now, the Spirit Hall... the Elder Hall probably has a problem with us, and the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire are also issuing warrants for our arrest."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's anger subsided slightly, replaced by a look of bewilderment.
yes.
Where else could she go?
People's hearts have already fallen.
That old bastard Qian Daoliu will definitely seize the opportunity to take power; those old fogies in the Offering Hall have never even given her a second glance.
Now that she is seriously injured and has lost all her prestige, if she goes back like this, she will probably be in grave danger.
"Qianyu..."
Bibi Dong muttered the name to herself, her fingers gripping the bedsheet tightly.
Although that man was heartless and cruel to her, and although that man verbally abused her mercilessly.
but.
He is currently the only key to breaking the deadlock.
As long as she can win him back, as long as she can get back onto his coattails, she can get back everything she has lost!
Even being his concubine, or even being his dog, would be better than being a homeless dog like this!
Moreover, she is Qian Renxue's mother, which is her biggest bargaining chip.
Although Qianyu spoke harshly, she didn't believe that Qianyu could really be so heartless towards her, since they had been husband and wife for a day.
"We still have to remarry."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, her eyes gradually becoming firm, even with a hint of obsession.
"I don't believe he's really that heartless."
"It must be those vixens from Haiyue who bewitched him. As long as I'm willing to bow down, as long as I'm willing to use some tricks..."
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong struggled to sit up.
"Nana, tidy up."
"Let's go back to the Spirit Hall."
"I need to go back and get something, and then... I'll try to see Chiyu again."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded vigorously.
"Okay, teacher! I'll go prepare right away!"
"Teacher, it's good that you've come to your senses. Dean Qianyu is truly a good man. As long as you're willing to back down, he will definitely forgive you!"
Hu Liena's words were full of anticipation, as if she could already see the day when she would follow her teacher back to the top, and even enter the Haiyue Imperial Palace.
...
Just as various forces were stirring up trouble, the golden list in the sky shook once again.
Tang San's name gradually faded away, and a line of even more dazzling golden characters slowly emerged.
[Ranked 8th on the Power Ranking: Li Bai]
[Martial Soul: Azure Lotus Sword, Wine Gourd]
[Identity: Master of Miaoyin Pavilion, Sword Immortal, Guest Elder of Jixia Academy]
[Description: He can kill a man in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles. A master of both poetry and wine, his swordplay spans thirty thousand miles, its light chilling nineteen provinces. Naturally free-spirited and unconventional.]
[Rewards: One divine-level sword intent comprehension, ten jars of the thousand-year-old "Drunken Immortal Brew," and a level increase in soul power.]
The moment these words were uttered, the entire Heavenly Dou City erupted in chaos.
Eighth place!
It's another person from Jixia Academy!
Li Bai, the master of Miaoyin Pavilion!
Inside the private room on the top floor of the largest restaurant in Tiandou City.
A man dressed in white with a long sword at his waist was leaning against the window, holding an exquisite wine gourd in his hand, and drinking deeply.
His free and unrestrained demeanor was like that of a celestial being descended to earth.
It was Li Bai.
Opposite him sat several prominent figures.
Poseidon, the high priestess of Poseidon Island, stood solemnly with the seven sacred pillars of Poseidon.
Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was accompanied by Sword Douluo Chen Xin, with a smile on his face.
"Is this the strength of the eighth-ranked player on the Gold List?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin looked at the seemingly drunk man in front of him, but the sword intent in his heart was trembling wildly.
As a titled Douluo renowned for having the strongest attack power in the world, Chen Xin felt a suffocating sense of oppression the moment he saw Li Bai.
That was pure sword intent.
It was as if a single glance from the other party could cut him in two if they so desired.
"Mr. Li Bai, I have long admired your name."
Ning Fengzhi spoke first, his tone so humble that it didn't seem like that of a sect leader.
"Meeting you today, I am truly impressed by your reputation. Your demeanor is truly admirable."
Li Bai put down his wine gourd, let out a burp, and waved his hand groggily.
"Alright, alright, Sect Leader Ning, let's skip the formalities."
"I have a rough idea of why you've come."
As he spoke, Li Bai turned his gaze to Poseidon, who was standing to the side.
The high priest of Poseidon Island was staring intently at the rankings on the sky, his eyes filled with shock.
"Eighth place..."
Poseidon muttered to himself.
"Even a master like Li Bai is only ranked eighth?"
"What level has Qianyu reached?"
If she was just curious before, now she's truly convinced.
I'm completely convinced.
If even a subordinate can rank eighth and surpass Tang San, then Qian Yu, as the leader, must have unfathomable depths of power.
"Mr. Li Bai."
Poseidon stood up, gave Li Bai a slight bow, and was extremely respectful.
"Poseidon Island, with its seven sacred pillars, is willing to lead the entire island to submit to Jixia Academy and to Dean Qianyu."
"I only ask... to see Dean Chiyu once."
Ning Fengzhi, not to be outdone, quickly added:
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also willing to follow the lead of the Jixia Academy!"
"I only ask Dean Qianyu to give me some guidance."
Ning Fengzhi was extremely anxious.
He had seen that the rewards on the Golden List often included treasures that could evolve martial souls.
His Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda has been stuck on the seventh floor for so many years, and he dreams of evolving it into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Now it seems that the only hope lies with Qianyu.
Li Bai looked at the group of big shots in front of him who were eager to curry favor with him, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"You want to see my director?"
"Well... I need to ask first."
As he spoke, Li Bai took out something resembling a communication soul tool from his pocket, input his soul power, and began dialing Qian Yu's contact information.
