"Is this Teacher Heart of Fire? So young, so… so beautiful? Phew~ Phew~"
Demon Subduing Douluo gasped for breath. When Xin's peerlessly beautiful face was revealed, he felt as if his brain had been violently struck by something.
It was simply unheard of, unseen. There was actually such a handsome face in the world, which made Demon Subduing Douluo unable to help but touch his own face, muttering to himself:
"He's so handsome, no wonder even the Second High Priest and the Holy Maiden praise him so much. He truly rivals the bright moon when I was young. Unbelievable."
His voice carried genuine shock mixed with involuntary self-reflection. The overwhelming presence of Xin's appearance seemed to momentarily disrupt even his usual arrogance. The cherry blossoms drifting around them felt strangely slow, as if the world itself had paused to emphasize the moment.
He recalled that when he first met the High Priest and the Second High Priest, Spirit Hall was not as strong as it is now. He led Spirit Master teams in and out of the chaotic battlefields of the two Empires seven times, completing the rescue missions given by the organization and achieving great merits. How dashing was that?
Now he admitted that Teacher Xin's demeanor was no less impressive than his own back then!
The comparison surfaced almost unconsciously, as though he were measuring the past against the present and finding, to his slight irritation, that the conclusion was difficult to deny. Still, pride lingered in his tone, as if refusing to fully concede even in admiration.
However…
"Becoming a Disciple?"
"Isn't Hu Liena your Disciple, Pope? Why does she still need to come to Heart of Fire Academy to study?"
Qian Renxue's heart also tightened. She gazed at Bibi Dong, thinking:
"What exactly is this petty woman trying to do?"
Given what I know about her, she definitely doesn't have good intentions!
Her expression remained composed, but her thoughts sharpened immediately. The sudden development did not feel casual—it carried intent, whether competitive, strategic, or both.
Xin's eyes also showed a hint of surprise. How did this little fox persuade Bibi Dong to let her come and become a Disciple?
Not only did she let her come to become a Disciple, but she also personally escorted her. Truly… I've lived long enough to see everything.
A faint trace of amusement appeared in his gaze. Even for someone used to handling complex student situations, this arrangement was unexpected. It suggested that the relationships within Spirit Hall were more flexible—or more complicated—than they appeared on the surface.
"Pope, if I take Hu Liena as a Disciple, I'm afraid she won't be able to do many things for Spirit Hall, and she won't be able to obey your orders anymore. Are you still willing?"
Xin spoke, some things needed to be said upfront.
His tone remained calm, but the meaning was direct. It was not a rejection, but a clarification of consequences. Teaching here meant transformation, and transformation often came with loss of old constraints.
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment: "Wouldn't it be great for Nana to have both you and I as teachers? Teacher Xin and I are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. If we teach her hand in hand, we will surely train Nana into a top Genius."
There was no hesitation in her reply, as if the idea had already been formed in advance. Her confidence in the arrangement suggested she saw no contradiction between authority and shared guidance.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Hu Liena looked up at her teacher, Bibi Dong, in confusion. Is this how that idiom is used?
Her expression froze slightly, caught between respect and uncertainty. The phrasing sounded strange, but she did not dare question it openly.
"Do you have any culture at all? 'A perfect match, a match made in heaven' describes partners and a beautiful marriage. At most, what you have can only be considered 'adding flowers to the brocade'."
Qian Renxue shielded Xin behind her, warning: "Teacher, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. She is extremely unreliable."
