Chapter 457 News of Qian Renxue
"I doubt Xiangxiang can hold on much longer this round." Tang Qi braced herself against the tree and jumped down easily.
Jiang Qianjing followed closely behind her and stood side by side, saying, "We'll go back to rest in a little while."
Tang Qi nodded vigorously.
She could finally leave; she really couldn't take it anymore if she didn't leave soon.
What exactly was added to this medicine? It tastes even better!
After waiting a while, Xiangxiang finally collapsed. Without time to ask, Tang Qi rushed in, scooped Xiangxiang out, checked her condition, said goodbye to the two teachers, and quickly slipped away with Jiang Qianjing.
Tang Qi only breathed a sigh of relief after running out of the courtyard gate. "Phew, this smell is really pungent, strange, and has a weird odor."
The two exchanged a knowing smile, chatted casually, and then went their separate ways.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Tang Qi heard a series of knocks on the door.
She got up groggily, quickly tidied herself up, and opened the door, her eyes still half-closed. "Brother?"
Tang San straightened her messy ponytail a little. "We have news about Qian Renxue. Go to the conference room and wait. Everyone else has been notified, and they should all be here by now."
Upon hearing the name Qian Renxue, Tang Qi instantly snapped out of her daze, grabbed Xiangxiang, and hurried toward the conference room.
Seeing that she had gone over, Tang San called to the people waiting not far away, told her to take some food to the conference room, and then followed Tang Qi.
When they arrived at the conference room, just as Tang San had said, everyone was already there; only the two of them were missing.
The brother and sister entered one after the other.
"Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring breakfast over." Tang San sat down in the last remaining seat, not in a hurry for everyone to start chatting.
The people from the Spirit Hall were quite efficient; breakfast was served in no time at all.
After closing the door and taking precautions, Tang San sat down again, saying, "Let's eat and talk."
Xie Yue nodded and placed a document in the middle. "The news we received indicates that Qian Renxue is not in Wuhun City, but has gone to Seagod Island, accompanied by two Douluo. Her divine trial may be nearing its end."
"Seagod Island? What's she going there for?" Tang Qi frowned and craned her neck to look at the documents on the table. "She can't be going there to complete the Seagod Trial, can she?"
Hu Liena nodded, "It's not impossible, but her angelic test shouldn't be this soon, and now there's another sea god test on top of that..."
"Could it be that she got stuck in the angelic test?" Yan speculated, letting her thoughts wander.
Upon hearing this, everyone paused for a moment.
It's not impossible, but the divine test has a time limit. Under these circumstances, participating in the sea god test does seem like a viable option.
Zhang Ping turned her gaze to Tang San, "Since she went to Seagod Island, Tang San, that's your territory now."
Tang Qi tidied up her things, then slumped onto the table and yawned. "But my brother can't affect the divine exam, and Poseidon probably won't allow anyone to disrupt it either."
The chances of succeeding from there are slim.
Jiang Qianjing put the paper back in its original place. "Qian Daoliu's attention is on Qian Renxue now. Instead of messing with Qian Renxue, we might as well take this opportunity to help Lao Xu and the others."
They can't do much, but they can create some trouble, preventing Qian Renxue from getting away for a while.
If they can hold off Qian Renxue, their operations in Wuhun City will be much easier.
The group quieted down and considered their next move.
At the same time, Bibi Dong looked out the window at the pale golden light in the sky.
That was the afterglow of the angel god, and a symbol of the great authority of the high priest, but compared to before, the pale golden radiance was much dimmer.
She walked to the amethyst throne and sat down, her eyes gleaming with a dark light. Her fingertips lightly traced the gems on the scepter, and sunlight streamed through the window, making the scepter shine even brighter.
"Your Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo appeared silently at the palace entrance, his voice as usual, without much change, "The three elders of the Hall of Worship have once again refused your summons."
Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips. "It's alright. It just means they're panicked. They're afraid."
Her slender fingers traced the patterns on her robe, her voice growing softer and softer, like the chill of winter ice, "He was paving the way for Qian Renxue to become a god, but little did he know that this was also what I wanted."
"Who plays the game is not up to him to decide."
As she finished speaking, she raised her hand again to stroke the gem on the scepter. "Look how beautiful this gem is. If it weren't for that layer of gold, it would be even better."
She didn't speak further, nor did she ask Yue Guan to leave. She simply sat quietly on the throne, lost in thought.
Yue Guan swept his gaze across Bibi Dong's figure from afar.
Over the years, he has witnessed Bibi Dong's changes, yet he still cannot fathom her thoughts.
Where are the Holy Son and Holy Daughter?
Bibi Dong's voice came again, quickly pulling Yue Guan back to reality.
"Let's discuss this in the conference room," Yue Guan replied respectfully.
Bibi Dong's voice softened slightly, "Let them come over after they've finished their discussion."
After Yue Guan responded slowly, he took his leave.
After everyone left, Bibi Dong gripped the scepter tightly, her eyes filled with a fierce ambition as she looked at the gemstone, as if she could freeze the golden radiance shining upon it.
Then, she closed her eyes and leaned back on the throne, seemingly taking a nap.
Time passed slowly, and the temperature inside the hall seemed to be gradually decreasing.
Finally, Tang San and Tang Qi arrived at the palace gate together. "Teacher."
Just those two words warmed up the temperature inside the hall considerably.
"Come here." Bibi Dong's expression softened slightly, and the coldness in her eyes lessened considerably. "You know about Qian Renxue's whereabouts. What are your plans?"
Tang San stepped forward and briefly explained the plan they had discussed that morning.
“Okay, I’ll handle Qian Daoliu’s side. You don’t need to worry about it.” A dark glint flashed in Bibi Dong’s eyes when she mentioned Qian Daoliu’s name.
She had already taken a lot of flesh from Qian Daoliu before, but the pace slowed down because of Qian Renxue's return.
She wouldn't confront the highly vigilant Qian Daoliu head-on; now was the time for her to take action.
"Go."
The brother and sister acknowledged and took their leave to attend to their own affairs.
The moment the two figures disappeared, Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold again. This time, her gaze went through the window to the towering Angel Temple.
Qian Daoliu, far away in the Angel Temple, seemed to sense something and looked towards the Spirit Hall with deep eyes.
"Grand Elder, Bibi Dong has transferred our people out." Qingluan Douluo appeared before Qian Daoliu with a cold expression. "Should we..."
“No need.” Qian Daoliu closed his eyes. “She is Xiaoxue’s mother, and the Spirit Hall does need to expand.”
Qingluan Douluo hesitated, then finally lowered her eyes.
He suddenly realized something.
His long-serving high priest was indeed ambitious and mad enough, but he was also old.
It's not physical aging, but psychological and spiritual aging.
He seemed to have forgotten the hatred hidden deep in Bibi Dong's eyes, and also forgotten Bibi Dong's aversion to the word "mother".
For a fleeting moment, he doubted whether his choice was correct. Before he could delve deeper into the matter, Qian Daoliu's slightly aged voice rang in his ears again, "Inform Jin'e that he should refrain from engaging in conflict with the people of the Papal Palace until Xiaoxue returns."
One sentence instantly sent a chill through the blue phoenix.
He accepted the order and withdrew without changing his expression, but his heart was filled with unprecedented turmoil.
How long will it take for Qian Renxue to return from her trip to Poseidon Island?
When Qian Renxue returns, how many positions will be left for the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall?
What will become of those who have chosen the highest veneration?
With each step he took, a question arose in his mind, and each question made his originally firm choice incredibly shaky.
"Keep everything else as usual, but check for rats inside." Just as Qingluan was about to leave, Qian Daoliu finally spoke again, giving his last order.
Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly tensed up again.
The rats have managed to multiply so quickly right under their noses, so let them clean them up properly.
Soon, news of the conflict between the Angel Temple and the Papal Palace reached Bibi Dong's ears.
She glanced at the scepter in her hand and gave a barely perceptible cold laugh, her gaze towards the Angelic Temple filled with endless chill.
Ah!
Similarly, this news reached the ears of Tang Qi and her companion.
Tang Qi looked at Tang San incredulously, "Brother, did I... hear that right?"
The tone of surprise was undisguised.
Tang San chuckled and tapped her head. "Does the person who delivered the message dare to lie to us?"
"That's strange. They were quite restless a while ago, so why did they suddenly become so quiet?" Tang Qi couldn't understand why Qian Daoliu gave this order.
Given their current strained relationship, they shouldn't have made this strange decision.
“He’s paving the way for Qian Renxue.” Tang San looked at the Angel Temple. “His hopes are pinned on Qian Renxue, and besides, that’s just the surface.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi let out a breath.
Yes, these are all just superficial.
But soon, she suddenly sat up straight, "Old Xu and the others!"
Now that Qian Daoliu has one hand free, Lao Xu and the others are in danger.
Tang San lowered his eyes. "There's nothing we can do. We don't have any way to contact them, and we can't contact Bing Linghai right now. We can only rely on them."
If they could react, then Lao Xu could too.
But they were too active recently, so we have to let go of some of them.
Tang Qi sighed softly. Fortunately, they had already evacuated, so the losses shouldn't be too great.
The real fear is that the person who gets arrested won't be able to withstand the pressure, which would result in a huge loss for Lao Xu.
Seeing Tang Qi's worry, Tang San raised his hand and patted her head. "Don't worry too much. Our people have a hard time finding them, so Qian Daoliu and the others won't be in much better shape."
If they could be caught so easily, Lao Xu and his gang wouldn't have been able to hide under their noses for so long.
Now it's time for them to begin their plans.
Tang San looked into the distance; that direction was towards Seagod Island.
If you want to do it simultaneously, then that depends on your ability.
Poseidon Island, that's really a great place.
Let him think about who's there.
Tang San's smile remained unchanged. To create trouble, all he needed to do was slightly get Qian Renxue and the others to change their route.
Looking at the map hanging on the wall, which had no markings whatsoever.
The Haotian Sect has no shortage of people who want revenge, and Qian Renxue is a perfect target.
Seeing Tang San staring intently at a spot, Tang Qi didn't ask any further questions and quietly left the room.
The sky remained unchanged, with little alteration. Tang Qi lowered her eyes slightly, wondering when this struggle would finally end.
But she quickly shook her head and dismissed the idea.
She remembered the location her brother was looking at; if she remembered correctly, it should be within the area of the Haotian Sect.
It seems Tang Chen won't be able to stay on Poseidon Island.
Thinking of Tang Chen's expression, Tang Qi chuckled softly.
She did hope that Tang Chen could take care of Qian Renxue directly, but unfortunately, she was accompanied by two Douluo.
Putting everything else aside, at least getting Qian Renxue to escape shouldn't be a problem.
If they drive Qian Renxue away, how can they let the Haotian Sect know that Tang Chen is not turning his attention to them?
Tang Qi walked out, lost in thought, and quickly followed Jiang Qianjing as he hurried past.
"Jiangjiang, I'll go with you!"
Since there's nothing else for her to do, she might as well join in and help out.
The familiar voice made Jiang Qianjing smile immediately, and she skillfully took Tang Qi's hand, "Okay, together."
A soft golden light shone on the two of them, warming them and seemingly bestowing upon them a gentle divinity.
Because of the sudden occurrence of this incident, the two of them were busy together until evening.
When the moon rose above the willow branches, the two finally had a chance to sit down and have a cup of hot tea.
Tang Qi collapsed onto the sofa as if she had no bones, her eyes slightly closed, clearly feeling sleepy.
"Don't rush to sleep. I'll make something to eat, then you can sleep." Jiang Qianjing pulled the person up and led them to sit at the dining table.
Hearing this, Tang Qi shook her head in confusion and patted her cheeks. "No, it'll be faster if I go with you."
"Just reheat what you left before, don't make it too complicated."
"Then drink some hot water first." Jiang Qianjing handed over the poured water and turned to busy herself in the kitchen.
Tang Qi finished the warm water in one gulp, quickly went to the kitchen, and lazily leaned against Jiang Qianjing's back, gently rubbing against him, her hands lightly wrapped around his waist.
After completing the unique wake-up steps, she then began to help.
"I had so much to do today," Tang Qi suddenly said, her head bowed. "Jiang Jiang, I think I'm really tired."
Hearing this, Jiang Qianjing quickened his pace, and after finishing, he turned around and pulled Tang Qi into his arms, resting his chin on her head. "If you're tired, take a rest. No one will say anything to you."
Tang Qi shook her head.
She couldn't bear to see everyone else busy while she was just resting on the sidelines.
Moreover, she only felt mentally tired.
Previously, her brother handled these matters, and she only helped with a very small part of it.
But now that she's starting to help her brother more, she realizes how busy he used to be, and how he always had to squeeze out time for himself.
I squeezed out time to rest with her, play with her, and have heart-to-heart talks.
But she could only help a little bit, and she suddenly felt very sad.
