"Targeting your Shrek?"
Bibi Dong's icy gaze swept over Yu Xiaogang. Immediately, Yu Xiaogang shuddered, but for the sake of his pride, he gritted his teeth and continued,
"Correct. Why must our Shrek Academy battle two academies, instead of the Spirit Hall Academy battling the Blazing Wind Academy first?"
"Even so, you still claim there's no targeting?"
"Yu Xiaogang, are you questioning the fairness of the Spirit Hall's group stage draw?"
"Just who do you think you are?"
"You... Bibi Dong, you..."
"Silence! Out of respect for Sect Master Yu, I will not pursue your theft of the Spirit Hall's secret manuals, your deception of the world to steal a reputation, or your seduction of an ignorant young girl."
"But that does not mean you can repeatedly question the sacred land of the Spirit Master world."
"You are merely a 31st-ranked Soul Elder."
"You... You..." Yu Xiaogang's eyes bulged, nearly choking on his breath.
To say he stole the Spirit Hall's secret manuals and seduced an ignorant young girl.
Bibi Dong, how dare you!
"You what? After this tournament concludes, I will use the authority of both the Spirit Hall and the Worship Hall to issue an Edict of Self-Reproachment."
"Along with a full and complete account of how you deceived that ignorant young girl back then, nearly causing a rift between me and my teacher."
"Bibi Dong, aren't you worried about yourself at all?" Yu Xiaogang sputtered in fury.
Was this mutually assured destruction?
If their affair was exposed, could Bibi Dong still sit securely on the Pope's throne?
"There is nothing to worry about." Bibi Dong said coldly, "I, Bibi Dong, am 51 years old this year, a 99th-ranked Limit Douluo. Even if I speak of those events, what do I have to fear?"
"Fear that Qian Daoliu will strip me of my position as Pope?"
"Would he dare?"
Qian Daoliu: "..."
Why did you have to step on me while exposing yourself?
"This woman Bibi Dong is truly shameless." Golden Crocodile curled his lips, glancing at Qian Daoliu, whose face had been dark the entire time, and muttered critically.
"Forget it, pretend you didn't hear it!" Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly.
Shortly after Qian Daoliu finished speaking, Bibi Dong's voice sounded again.
"Presumably, many have guessed that the young girl deceived by Yu Xiaogang was me, Bibi Dong."
"Not only did I help promote his so-called 'Master' title, but I also revealed the Spirit Hall's secret manuals to him."
"Furthermore, I nearly turned against my teacher at the time, Qian Xunji, and wanted to leave the Spirit Hall to pledge ourselves to each other."
"However, in the end, my teacher saw through Yu Xiaogang's self-directed, self-acted farce with his discerning eye."
"He merely wanted to use me to obtain the Spirit Hall's resources and shake off his 'good-for-nothing' label."
Bibi Dong, having ultimately been the Pope, kept her expression unchanged, enduring extreme disgust and discomfort to finish the last few sentences.
Silence—
The competition grounds and its surroundings fell into complete silence.
Gossip.
Earth-shattering gossip!
Good heavens, a live broadcast across the entire continent!
You dare to reveal the inside story like this?
That there was friction between Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji was something some powerful Spirit Masters with backgrounds more or less knew, but the vast majority were unaware of the specifics.
Bibi Dong was lovesick and wanted to leave the Spirit Hall for the good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang?
Yu Xiaogang, a toad lusting after swan meat, almost succeeded?
What was so good about the middle-aged, greasy Yu Xiaogang? Perhaps Her Holiness the Pope should consider us?
Although our strength cannot compare to yours, in certain aspects, we would definitely surpass this thieving Master Yu Xiaogang and would surely satisfy Your Holiness the Pope.
Many in the audience had such thoughts, of course, they were just thoughts; no one dared to speak them.
Truly, you cannot judge a person by their appearance, nor measure the ocean with a pint pot.
Yu Xiaogang plotted to eat swan meat, and the Spirit Hall's Saintess Bibi Dong back then was a lovesick fool.
So, based on the known conditions, calculate the approximate psychological shadow area of Qian Xunji back then.
Bibi Dong did not mention the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect once, but those who understood knew that if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect hadn't been involved behind the scenes,
How could Yu Xiaogang have entered the Spirit Hall to view the secret manuals? There must have been an exchange of benefits.
As for whether Yu Yuanzhen had a hand in Yu Xiaogang seducing Bibi Dong, that is a matter of opinion.
The Upper Three Sects' Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, although declining, still deserved some face.
Since Bibi Dong didn't point it out directly, these bystanders could pretend not to know.
In a certain rest area, the members of the Glazed Academy listened to Bibi Dong's "earth-shattering gossip."
"Uh, Her Holiness the Pope actually has such an unspeakable past!" Ye Lingling couldn't help but sigh, "It's hard to imagine. Such a dignified Pope actually liked Yu Xiaogang?"
"It's normal, lack of experience." Ning Rongrong said with a smile,
"Bibi Dong was protected too well by Qian Xunji. I once looked up books about the Pope."
"After the former Pope Qian Xunji brought Bibi Dong back to the Spirit Hall, she almost never went out."
"People inside a walled city are curious about the outside, just as those outside are curious about the inside."
"Humans , their decisions are influenced by their own perceptions!"
"Rongrong, don't always speak with an air of aged maturity about things that have nothing to do with you." Ye Lingling teased.
"Ha, do I?" Ning Rongrong laughed awkwardly.
"Revealing all this, doesn't Bibi Dong care about her prestige at all?"
Dugu Yan rested her chin on her hands, sitting on a chair with a puzzled expression.
This was being said right in front of the live broadcast soul tools.
In less than half a minute, everyone on the continent watching the broadcast would know. Perhaps within a few days, it would spread to every corner of the continent.
Everyone would know that the lofty Pope of the Spirit Hall was undoubtedly a lovesick fool.
"Yanyan Sister, let me ask you, why should Bibi Dong care?"
Ning Rongrong said lightly with a smile,
"A 51-year-old Limit Douluo, arguably the person with the strongest talent and strength on the entire continent."
"Even if she has an unspeakable history, daring to say it out loud, people will only think the Pope can acknowledge her mistakes and correct them, daring to admit her own faults."
"They will sigh, no wonder she could reach Limit Douluo, such broad-mindedness is truly admirable."
"Secondly, for the Spirit Hall..."
"Although there will be some unfavorable opinions, most will think, as expected of the Spirit Hall of the Angel Clan."
"Even a Saintess, as long as she corrects her mistakes, will not be sidelined, and her becoming Pope is the best proof."
"This will make more people willing to join the Spirit Hall."
"After all, for Spirit Masters, without background, it's very difficult to obtain higher-level soul rings."
"When faced with this situation, a memorable scene will surface in people's minds, and Bibi Dong's goal is achieved."
"This..." Dugu Yan was dumbfounded, "There's such a method?"
Everyone else was also shocked. Is this the gap between those who use their brains?
"Exactly." Ning Rongrong spread her hands.
Bibi Dong was strong enough, and the Spirit Hall was strong enough, causing unfavorable opinions to have little market.
The Spirit Hall was still the sacred land for all Spirit Masters on the continent, which further increased its legitimacy.
"Ah." Ning Rongrong sighed inwardly, "It's clearly supposed to be a Douluo Continent of romance, yet someone is so brainy, and it's the lovesick fool Bibi Dong?"
"Inconceivable, truly inconceivable!"
"Revealing all this, doesn't Bibi Dong care about her prestige at all?"
Dugu Yan rested her chin on her hands, sitting on a chair with a puzzled expression.
