Chapter 105: Yan: Boiled Sheep, Hand Me a Cigarette!
Afterward, Bibi Dong kept talking to Bai Yu all night, asking questions until dawn.
“Pope, Chrysanthemum Douluo is here to report, asking if Your Holiness has any matters. If so, he will announce it in the deliberation hall and cancel today’s meeting.”
At this moment, the voice of a maid came from outside. Bibi Dong was startled, turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, and only then realized that a night had passed.
She then looked at Bai Yu with a slight apology and softly said:
“Sorry, Little Fish, I didn’t notice the time. How about you rest today and fight with teacher tomorrow?”
Bai Yu waved his hand, looking indifferent, thinking that a mere night was a small matter even for ordinary people, let alone a Spirit Saint like him.
“It’s fine, I’m not delicate. It’s just staying up late; it won’t delay the fight. Teacher, please rest assured.”
Bibi Dong nodded, her face somewhat flushed, secretly scolding herself for speaking such nonsense. She really wasn’t thinking!
Then she said to the maid outside:
“Go inform Elder Ju that the Saint Child has returned and wishes to verify his strength with this Supreme Pontiff. In half an hour, they will battle outside Spirit City.”
“Tell him to notify the Spirit Hall personnel. Those who have time, all go outside Spirit City to watch this Supreme Pontiff’s battle with the Saint Child!”
The maid outside seemed a bit surprised, remaining silent for two breaths before responding to Bibi Dong.
“Yes, Pope!”
As Bibi Dong finished speaking, she slowly stood up, looking at Bai Yu with a smile on her face.
“Let’s go, Little Fish. We’ll wait outside the city first to give them some time.”
Bai Yu smacked his lips and also got up to follow Bibi Dong.
To be honest, he knew what Bibi Dong’s intention was in wanting to fight him, but he felt it was unnecessary.
“Teacher, actually, there’s no need for this. I should still have some prestige in Spirit Hall. There’s no need for such a method, right?”
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Bibi Dong shook her head. She knew that with Bai Yu’s intelligence, he would definitely understand what she wanted to do.
“It’s different. Your prestige comes from contribution, not strength. Contribution will only make them respect you, but not fear. Only with strength added will it be reverence!”
Bai Yu shrugged, having nothing to say, because Bibi Dong was right. However, in his opinion, deliberately showing off strength was still a bit awkward.
After all, anyone who isn’t a fool would know the purpose of this whole charade. Of course, the effect would definitely be there, as power is the ultimate truth.
Then, the two went all the way outside Spirit City, found a place where Spirit Hall Elders often sparred, and began to wait slowly.
Time slowly passed, and the originally empty surroundings gradually filled with people.
Looking at Bibi Dong and Bai Yu, who were meditating with their eyes closed not far away, everyone gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other.
“Old Ghost, do you think the Pope is a bit too hasty? How old is the Saint Child, and she’s personally taking the stage to let him show his strength?”
“Even if the Saint Child cultivates quickly, it shouldn’t lead directly to a Title Douluo, right? Don’t let him fail to show his strength and instead make a fool of himself.”
Chrysanthemum Douluo stood beside Ghost Douluo, his expression uncertain. To be honest, when he received the news earlier, he was stunned.
It was a good thing that the Saint Child returned, and it was also a good thing that he wanted to show his strength to stabilize morale. But Bibi Dong personally taking the stage made him a bit numb.
After he distractedly went to inform others, he still couldn’t help but wonder if the two had a conflict? Did the Pope want to abolish Bai Yu’s position as Saint Child?
But that shouldn’t be the case. Whenever Bai Yu sent letters before, the Pope was the most excited. By all appearances, their relationship didn’t seem bad at all!
Regarding Chrysanthemum Douluo’s question, Ghost Douluo didn’t react much, responding with a somewhat flat tone:
“You’re just worrying needlessly. Does Your Holiness not know the Saint Child’s strength better than you? Since Your Holiness decided to personally take action, she naturally has confidence in the Saint Child’s strength.”
“Don’t think about those unnecessary things. His Highness’s position as Saint Child is very stable. Not to mention his relationship with the Pope, even if she wanted to abolish the Saint Child, the High Priest Elder wouldn’t agree.”
Chrysanthemum Douluo blinked, thinking that Old Ghost was right. As expected of a good friend for many years, he knew what he was thinking without needing to be told!
Then he took another sharp breath. If he thought in that direction, since the Saint Child was worth Your Holiness personally taking action, what level of strength must he have reached?
Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo was brainstorming, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, along with more than twenty young talents from Spirit Hall, also arrived.
“Nana, what is Bai Yu’s actual strength now? Why would he battle the Pope? Isn’t the gap a bit too large?”
Regarding Yan’s question, Hu Liena was full of impatience. This guy had been asking all the way here. Would he ever stop?
“Why are you talking so much nonsense? I already told you you’ll know later. You keep asking and asking. If you’re not annoyed, I am!”
Seeing Hu Liena getting a little angry, Yan’s face showed a fawning smile, and he whispered:
“Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore. Nana, please don’t be angry.”
Xie Yue, standing nearby, looked at Yan’s fawning appearance with a face full of sympathy, really wanting to tell him, “Good brother, stop licking. You’ll end up with nothing!”
As Hu Liena’s brother, he saw his sister very clearly. When Bai Yu hadn’t left yet, she couldn’t wait to throw herself at him for free.
After so many years of him being gone, she not only hadn’t moved on but had become even more devoted. It was estimated that if Bai Yu crooked his finger, she would happily follow him into the room!
After a while, the number of people around increased even more. Almost everyone who wasn’t on a mission had come.
After all, it was the first public appearance of this generation’s Saint Child of Spirit Hall, and it was also to display his strength. Everyone was a bit curious.
Previously, most people had only heard of this Saint Child, who was said to be astonishingly talented in rumors. This time, they would finally get to see him in person.
“Haha, Bai Xiaozi, long time no see! We’re here too! I heard you want to test your strength? How about I accompany you?”
At this moment, a hearty laugh came from afar, and then seven streams of light streaked across, transforming into human figures, standing in the air.
The crowd below collectively gasped when they saw the seven people in the sky.
“Oh my god, are those the seven High Priest Elders of our Spirit Hall?”
“Yes, they are indeed the High Priest Elders! I didn’t expect His Highness the Saint Child to have such influence, even these seven have come!”
“Is the one in front the High Priest? He hasn’t shown his face for many years. I didn’t expect that this time, even he would be startled.”
Meanwhile, Bai Yu, seeing the shorty appear in the sky, couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that this guy was so unruly, truly worthy of being someone he could play with back then!
He knew the intention behind Guang Ling’s words without even thinking, but Bai Yu was certain that it was definitely not his own idea!
“Haha, High Priest Guang Ling, thank you for your kind words, but there’s no need to trouble you. My teacher is enough; it’s just to test my strength.”
