Chapter 77 Mutual Schemes, Another Journey to Heaven Dou City!
Qian Daoliu knew that saying these things to Qin Mu too early would not bring him any real benefit.
However, Bibi Dong's ambitions have recently become far too great.
Everyone, from Qian Daoliu to the others in the Elder Hall, had witnessed Bibi Dong's abilities.
But it is precisely because of this that they are even more waary of Bibi Dong.
In about twenty years, Bibi Dong has firmly established herself as the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Apart from these senior members of the temple, everyone else had become completely obedient to Bibi Dong.
This is a good thing, but it's not a very good thing either.
Admittedly, Bibi Dong solidified the Pope's position and united the entire Spirit Hall, which naturally contributed to the Spirit Hall's development.
But Bibi Dong's ambition was so great that almost all the elders in the Elder Hall could see it.
If it weren't for Qian Daoliu's order, and the fact that there was no more suitable candidate for Pope than Bibi Dong in the Spirit Hall, the other elders would probably have already found some excuse to get rid of Bibi Dong.
Now, Qin Mu's appearance has brought a turning point to the whole matter.
They had no choice before, so they could only let Bibi Dong run rampant.
Now that they have new options, there's naturally no reason to keep Bibi Dong, this ticking time bomb.
This is not just Qian Daoliu's idea, but the idea of all the elders in the Elder Hall.
"Qin Mu, I know you might find this a bit abrupt, but time is indeed running out."
"Your talent is undeniable. Everyone in the Spirit Hall who has ever heard of you acknowledges that you are the Spirit Hall's number one genius in the last hundred years."
"Your other qualities have also been recognized by many elders. At least, several elders in our Elder Hall have spoken highly of you."
"Therefore, we all hope that you can become the next Pope and lead the Spirit Hall to new heights!"
Qian Daoliu looked at Qin Mu with affection, as if he were looking at his own junior.
"Well, Your Excellency, I understand the reasoning, but I still maintain that it's a bit too early to say these things now."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu looked at Qin Mu with some embarrassment before speaking somewhat awkwardly.
The reason I'm telling you all this now is because...
"We hope to designate you as the successor to the next Pope as soon as possible, and also to have you marry my granddaughter..."
As Qian Daoliu spoke, he became somewhat embarrassed to continue.
After all, it's far too early to say these things to a fourteen-year-old.
What's more, the object of their conversation was his own granddaughter.
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qin Mu was equally astonished, his mouth agape.
Perhaps what shocked Qian Daoliu was that he was being told to marry a fourteen-year-old boy.
But what truly shocked Qin Mu was the object Qian Daoliu said he would give her for her wedding!
Who is Qian Daoliu's granddaughter? It's Qian Renxue!
This is also Bibi Dong's daughter!
Qian Daoliu, that guy, just sold his own granddaughter like that?
"The token in your hand is the Angel Token, a token unique to our Elder Hall, and has nothing to do with the Elder Token of the Spirit Hall."
"However, its function is to allow those of us from the Angel lineage to sense our location."
"If you have nothing else to do, you can go to Heaven Dou City first. You might just happen to meet my granddaughter there."
"You'll have plenty of time to get to know each other then, and if anything unexpected happens, we can discuss it again."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back now."
Qian Daoliu quickly finished explaining the situation and then disappeared, leaving Qin Mu alone to process the massive amount of information.
"What...what's going on?!"
Qian Daoliu ran away before Qin Mu could finish speaking, so as not to give Qin Mu any chance to refute.
Qin Mu's lips twitched slightly before he sighed softly, then stored the Angel Token in his soul guide ring and left the main hall.
After a while, seven figures suddenly appeared at the stone table in the main hall.
Besides Qian Daoliu, who was chatting with Qin Mu, the old man who brought Qin Mu to the Elder Hall was also among them.
"I mean, Grand Priest, you don't have to be so subtle, do you? Why don't you just tell him directly?"
"I wonder if Miss will like this boy Qin Mu. She shouldn't mind that Qin Mu is too young, right?"
"Well, as long as we've conveyed our message, that's fine. As for the rest, let the young people talk about it!"
The lively discussion among the Priests made Qian Daoliu somewhat embarrassed.
After clearing his throat, Qian Daoliu spoke in a deep voice.
"Bibi Dong has been paying extra attention to Qin Mu lately, not only having Ling Yuan accompany him, but also sending Yue Guan as an extra help."
"Two Title Douluos! These two are already the highest-ranking elders in the Spirit Hall!"
Fifteen Ton Douluo's expression was solemn, and he said in an annoyed tone, "Anyway, I don't agree to Bibi Dong continuing to be the Pope."
"I strongly disagreed with her taking office when she first did, and I still do now!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned, pondered for a moment, and interrupted Fifteen Ton Douluo.
"I don't mind whoever is Pope, as long as the future Spirit Hall belongs to the Angel lineage."
"At least for now, it seems that only Qin Mu in the Spirit Hall is barely worthy of Miss."
"If Qin Mu can join forces with Miss in the future, then the world will belong to our Spirit Hall!"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Golden Crocodile Douluo's words.
Of the seven Priests, they originally did not intend to contact Qin Mu at this time.
However, Bibi Dong's recent dispatch of two Title Douluos to infiltrate Qin Mu's ranks has made them suspicious of her actions.
If Qin Mu in the future listens to Bibi Dong and sides with her, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
Most importantly, Qin Mu was the person they considered the most suitable for Qian Renxue, and they would never allow Qin Mu to stand against Qian Renxue in the future.
Since Bibi Dong has already acted this way, then they might as well stop pretending!
Qin Mu was naturally unaware of the infighting among these important figures.
Of course, it's not of much use for him to know this, since he can't do anything to change the situation right now.
After leaving the Elder Hall, Qin Mu returned to Ling Yuan and Yue Guan's side.
After casually brushing off the two, Qin Mu said he wanted to go to Heaven Dou City.
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan immediately became interested.
He was already thinking about how to find an opportunity for Qin Mu to take him to the far north again.
Coincidentally, Heaven Dou City and the far north are in the same direction.
Although there is still some distance, it is better than staying in Spirit City forever.
As for how to get to the far north, we'll consider that later!
Little did they know, while Yue Guan was scheming against Qin Mu, Qin Mu was also scheming against Yue Guan!
