Ling Yuan was stunned by Qian Yucheng's words.
What?
Go to the Pope's Palace?!
Has he gone mad from reading too much?
Or from cultivating too much?
Breaking through to the Title Douluo level just to make his presence known to the Pope?
Qian Yucheng, seeing her questioning gaze, laughed:
"What, do you think I'm just bored and going to the Pope's Palace for no reason?"
Ling Yuan nodded, thinking he was being silly!
Pope Qian Xunji didn't really like his younger brother, so why would he go?
But Qian Yucheng knew his older brother well. It concerned the interests of the Spirit Hall, so the other party would definitely take it very seriously!
In his brother's eyes, he would never allow anyone to harm the interests of the Spirit Hall!
Even if that person was his own disciple, he wouldn't let them go!
Moreover, Qian Yucheng wouldn't let Bibi Dong follow the same path as in the original story!
Yu Xiaogang was not worthy of Bibi Dong!
The idea that "there are no useless spirit souls, only useless spirit masters" is nothing but self-consolation!
In the original story, if he hadn't plagiarized the theories from the Spirit Hall and made them his own, how could he have earned the title of "Theoretical Master"?!
The Spirit Hall, the two great empires, the three upper sects and four lower sects, and other families with inherited spirit soul theories all understood these theories.
It's just that these theoretical knowledge were only for their own people to learn and use!
Ultimately, his "Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Souls" were nothing but plagiarism!
It's ironic that Bibi Dong was attracted to such a charlatan!
The crucial point is that she gave her heart to the wrong person. Not long after leaving the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang met Liu Erlong and Flander, and the three of them traveled the continent together.
During this time, he forgot about Bibi Dong and fell in love with Liu Erlong!
He was happy and carefree, but Bibi Dong suffered inner torment and pain, even being taken to a secret chamber by Qian Xunji…
No matter what, he wouldn't let Bibi Dong repeat the same mistake! If he
couldn't change the ending, what the hell was the point of time travel?!
Qian Yucheng tidied up the documents on his desk and left the library with Ling Yuan.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the magnificent Papal Palace.
"Go and announce that your younger brother has come to see his older brother!"
The guard, who had naturally seen Qian Yucheng before, immediately went into the Papal Palace.
Soon, the guard returned and relayed the message: "Second Young Master, His Holiness the Pope allows you to enter, but only you are permitted to go in!"
Ling Yuan was about to say something when Qian Yucheng stopped her.
"I know!"
He looked at Ling Yuan: "Wait for me here, I'll be right back!"
Ling Yuan nodded and watched Qian Yucheng slowly walk into the Papal Palace.
Inside the Papal Palace, Qian Xunji, dressed in papal robes, looked curiously towards the entrance.
He was somewhat puzzled: why was his younger brother, who was not in the library, here in the Papal Palace?
Soon, Qian Yucheng entered, looked at Qian Xunji, and said respectfully,
"Yucheng greets His Holiness the Pope!"
"Second brother, there's no need for such formalities when there are no outsiders. Just call me elder brother!" Qian Xunji slowly rose and asked, "What brings you to the Pope's Palace?"
"Elder brother, I heard that Dong'er brought back a strange man, and that he's connected to the three upper sects?"
Qian Yucheng didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.
"This matter is quite ordinary. Although Dong'er is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she also has the right to make friends privately. As her teacher, it's naturally inconvenient for me to interfere."
"Second brother, you didn't come here for such a trivial matter, did you?"
"If that's the case, you don't need to worry about it. You should go back!"
Qian Xunji's tone was somewhat impatient, indicating that he wanted to send him away.
Qian Yucheng shook his head, saying, "Brother, don't you think the timing of his appearance is too coincidental?!"
"Dong'er, as a rare genius soul master in the history of the Spirit Hall, possesses first-rate temperament and wisdom!"
"But why would she care so much about someone who isn't even a Soul Master?!"
"Don't you think this is too strange?!"
Qian Xunji's expression instantly turned serious upon hearing this.
This whole affair was indeed too coincidental!
Bibi Dong's soul power level had reached 68, and she had volunteered to go to the Star Dou Great Forest for training.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei had secretly followed, only intervening at crucial moments.
Now, thinking about it, relying solely on her words was too hasty.
"It is indeed strange. This situation didn't occur during her previous training trips, so why would she bring him back to the Spirit Hall at this time?!"
"The person Dong'er brought back is named Yu Xiaogang, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"Then, according to your guess, there might really be other reasons?"
Qian Xunji despised his younger brother's inability to cultivate, but that didn't mean he denied the other's wisdom!
Otherwise, all these years he'd gone to great lengths to prevent the other from having children, precisely because he feared a prodigy might be born and steal his position as Pope!
The other party probably guessed his thoughts and, for the sake of the bigger picture, cooperated with his act; the two brothers haven't started families yet after all these years.
(Qian Yucheng: You're talking nonsense!)
"Yu Xiaogang..."
"I remember now, I overheard someone at the auction saying that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had a mutated, useless martial soul member, and he was the son of the clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen!"
"However, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan considered him a disgrace and expelled him from the clan."

"I think the person Dong'er brought back this time must be him!"
Qian Yucheng told him what he knew.
"Yu Yuanzhen's son?"
"Even if he's a cripple, he shouldn't be allowed to enter the Spirit Hall like this!"
Qian Xunji was truly angry. Keeping someone like that in the Spirit Hall would only cause trouble!
Even if he currently has a crippled spirit, his stance is inherently on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall!
Seeing Qian Xunji's expression, Qian Yucheng continued, "If he really finds a solution for his spirit in the Spirit Hall, he certainly won't be grateful. Instead, he'll return to the sect to prove himself!"
"In that case, as Yu Yuanzhen's son, he will receive great support from the sect, and the Spirit Hall will have created an enemy for itself!"
"Therefore, my idea is that you should try not to interfere in this matter, brother. If Dong'er has any complaints, just come to me!"
Hearing his last sentence, Qian Xunji felt that he didn't have good intentions.
He instinctively refused, saying, "Second brother, I'm his teacher. Let me think about this!" As
soon as he finished speaking, he realized his words might have been too hurtful.
Before he could explain, Qian Yucheng spoke again:
"Eldest brother, if Dong'er finds out you're targeting Yu Xiaogang, it will definitely affect your relationship!" "
Over the years, I haven't done anything for the Spirit Hall. Having this opportunity is my honor!"
"For the sake of the greater good, let me go!"
These words were sincere and earnest, and for a moment, Qian Xunji's heart wavered!
"This…" Qian Xunji didn't know what to say for a moment.
"If I'm not mistaken, Dong'er will definitely take him to the library!"
"Even the first floor contains knowledge that's unavailable outside!"
"We must make Dong'er truly realize that Yu Xiaogang's intentions in coming to the Spirit Hall aren't so pure!"
"Even if I clash with the two of them, the consequences won't fall on you, brother. In Dong'er's eyes, you're still his good teacher!"
"If you don't believe me, you can have Elder Yue Guan or Elder Gui Mei observe from the shadows!"
Qian Yucheng said sincerely again, his words filled with consideration for the other party.
If things succeed, the bad reputation will fall on him, and it won't have anything to do with Qian Xunji!
If things fail… then he might as well just end it all!
Qian Xunji thought it over and over and felt that what he said made sense.
He didn't want to see his disciple quarrel with him!
In his mind, Bibi Dong was willingly contributing her strength to the Spirit Hall's cause, rather than
passively accepting it under some factor, which would lead to a rift between her and the Spirit Hall.
"Since you want to help, Second Brother, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse!" He agreed to Qian Yucheng's idea, since it wouldn't hurt him anyway.
"I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure Dong'er sees the true colors of these sect disciples!" He still agreed to Qian Yucheng's idea, since it wouldn't hurt him. However, he still needed to send someone to keep an eye on things. After thinking it over, he decided to have Ghostly Demon keep an eye on Qian Yucheng from the shadows. Qian Yucheng smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother, I will definitely do my best!" Qian Xunji waved his hand, "Second Brother, you're too kind. It's all for the Spirit Hall, no need for that!" "Yes, it's all for the Spirit Hall!" Qian Yucheng quickly changed his tune, then said again, "The matter has been discussed, so I'll take my leave now!" "Well, then I'll trouble you, Second Brother!" Qian Xunji smiled. Afterward, Qian Yucheng left the Papal Palace with a satisfied smile. After he left, Qian Xunji's smile vanished, and his face turned gloomy. "Second brother, what exactly are you planning to do?" "Could it be that Dong'er brought people back this time because there's really something wrong?" Qian Yucheng stepped out of the Papal Palace, his expression returning to its previous calm. "Eldest brother, I won't let anything go wrong with Bibi Dong's growth!" "This...it really is for the Spirit Hall!" ... (End of Chapter)
