Chapter 113 A Snowy Night of Forbearance, The Birth of the Shadow-Chasing Blade.
Emperor Xueye suppressed his humiliation and uttered words against his will. Then, the group appeared in front of Xue Qinghe's coffin.
The people behind Qian Xunji stepped forward to offer incense and burn paper money for him, as a way of showing their respect.
Bibi Dong then whispered, "Master, I saw this little fellow Xue Qinghe a few days ago, and he seems quite clever."
"A few days ago? When?" Qian Xunji asked casually, "How come I don't know?"
Bibi Dong continued, "It was the night I told you that Emperor Xueye wanted to arrange a marriage."
"Wasn't that the night Xue Qinghe died?"
Qian Xunji suddenly turned to look at Bibi Dong.
"You did this?"
Bibi Dong nodded and said, "Mhm!"
Bibi Dong's expression at this moment was quite like that of a puppy that had caught a dead mouse outside and was now showing off its accomplishment. Her eyes were sparkling, and she was eagerly anticipating Qian Xunji's praise!
Why did you kill him?
Qian Xunji continued to ask.
Bibi Dong said, "My master said he was destined to die young, so naturally I won't let him live too long!"
"Master, wasn't I great?!"
Seeing Bibi Dong's expectant expression, Qian Xunji was at a loss for words.
"Dong'er, did you leave any marks when you did it?"
Qianxun asked urgently.
Bibi Dong said, "I didn't leave any trace, but that kid Xue Qinghe is quite clever. He made a strange gesture with his left hand, which should be a message to Xue Ye!"
"Then why don't you wipe away the traces?" Qian Xunji was now a little confused about Bibi Dong's thought process!
Bibi Dong replied matter-of-factly, "Master, you said it's lonely at the top, and I'm a bit bored. Leaving some traces can help you relieve your boredom!"
Qian Xunji opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment. No wonder Xueye's expression was so strange just now!
It turns out that Xue Ye already knew that it was the Spirit Hall who killed Xue Qinghe, and had been holding back all along!
The murderer went to the victim's house to pay his respects; he really wasn't afraid of blocking people's way on a snowy night!
Qianxun said quickly, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Qian Xunji led the group from the Spirit Hall away. Xue Ye's tightly clenched hands loosened at that moment, his fingers already deeply piercing his palms.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Ning Fengzhi asked in confusion.
Emperor Xueye thought for a moment, but in the end he didn't say it. The Spirit Hall was too powerful now. If he revealed his thoughts, Ning Fengzhi would probably gradually distance himself from the Heaven Dou Royal Family!
That would only worsen the already dire situation for the Heavenly Dou royal family!
Xueye said, "It's nothing, I'm just tired!"
"Your Majesty should take a rest," Ning Fengzhi sighed. "I've met Qinghe; he's a very intelligent child."
"What a pity that such a talented person is often killed off!"
Xueye waved his hand, "I won't say anymore, the deceased is gone, the deceased is gone..."
Seeing Xueye's condition, Ning Fengzhi was very worried, and he reached out to take Xueye's pulse.
"Your Majesty, you are mentally exhausted and need to rest more."
Emperor Xueye nodded and said, "I understand."
After everyone had left, Emperor Xueye stood silently before Xue Qinghe's coffin for a long time. In the blink of an eye, he had been standing there all night.
As the sun rose, Xue Ye came to his senses, reached out and patted Xue Qinghe's coffin, then turned and left.
Inside the Spirit Hall.
Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong kneeling in front of him and couldn't think of any way to punish her.
Just then, Ah Yin walked in, and seeing the scene, she decided to leave.
Suddenly, Qian Xunji had a flash of inspiration and called out, "A Yin, come here!"
As soon as Ah Yin walked up to Qian Xunji, he pulled her into his arms. Bibi Dong's eyes widened at the sight.
"Ah Yin, get down here right now!"
Bibi Dong coldly shouted.
Before A Yin could even open her mouth, Qian Xunji said directly, "Bibi Dong, did I tell you to get up?"
Bibi Dong had no choice but to kneel on the ground again, but her eyes were full of anger as she looked at Ah Yin!
Ah Yin was not to be outdone and glared back. She was now a Title Douluo-level powerhouse and was not afraid of Bibi Dong even if she faced her!
Holding Ah Yin in his arms, Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong and said, "Tonight you will kneel on the ground and think carefully about where you went wrong."
"Yes, Master!"
Although Bibi Dong was very unwilling, she obeyed Qian Xunji's every word!
She could only watch helplessly as Qian Xunji placed A Yin on the bed, and when the bed curtains fell, Bibi Dong was even more furious.
Especially when Bibi Dong heard Ah Yin's voice, she wished she could get up right now...
After one night.
Qian Xunji stood in front of Bibi Dong and said, "Get up!"
Bibi Dong then stood up, looking aggrieved, and glared at Ah Yin on the bed.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Qianxun asked.
Bibi Dong nodded and said, "Understood!"
Qian Xunji asked, still uneasy, "Tell me, what did you do wrong?"
Bibi Dong looked up and said, "Disciple shouldn't have left clues, causing Master unnecessary trouble!"
Qianxun clicked her tongue, knowing that with Bibi Dong's thought process, she probably couldn't have come up with this. Anyway, the Heaven Dou Empire couldn't cause any trouble, so let it be!
Bibi Dong did it all for him, no matter what!
Qian Xunji could only console himself with this thought.
At that moment, a guard reported: "Your Holiness the Pope, Lou Gao requests an audience!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji walked out of the palace and said, "Take him to the Papal Palace."
Lou Gao appeared in the Spirit Hall under the guidance of the guards. He respectfully said, "Your subordinate greets His Holiness the Pope."
"Lou Gao, it's been several years since we last met. What progress have you made this time?"
Qianxun asked urgently.
Lou Gao immediately pulled out a long sword, which looked quite ordinary and was no different from the long swords used by ordinary soldiers.
"Your Holiness, this sword was forged according to the blueprints you provided. Due to the materials used, this sword has an extremely fast attack speed when activated with soul power, and its attack power is equivalent to that of a medium-level agility-type martial soul!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji immediately drew his long sword. He controlled his soul power, worried that too much soul power would surge in at once and instantly shatter the first sword.
When he used his soul power to activate the longsword, the entire blade was covered with a faint golden hue.
Qian Xunji casually swung the sword a few times, then exclaimed in admiration, "Excellent! This sword is indeed as you described!"
"Does it have a name?"
In response to Qian Xunji's question, Lou Gao immediately replied, "It has not yet been named. Please bestow a name upon it, Your Majesty!"
Qian Xunji said, "Since it's fast and is being compared to agility-based martial souls, let's call it Shadow Chaser!"
"Thank you so much for the name, Your Holiness!" Lou Gao said excitedly. "Um... Your Holiness, could you please give me another copy of the forging blueprints at the back?"
Qian Xunji shook his head and said, "Lou Gao, although you are a master craftsman, you are still a bit short of the skill to forge the weapons in the later diagrams."
"Calm down and continue forging this type of weapon. When the time is right, I, the Pope, will naturally give you other blueprints!"
