Chapter 303: Your Father is Watching You from Heaven

Qin Jian accepted the Elder Identity Token from Grandmaster and tucked it into his Soul Guidance Device, not declining this kindness.

However, he did not rush to thank him, instead casually grabbing a handful of melon seeds from Flender and happily watching the show with a crunching sound.

As he ate, he said, "Finally, one day, I can watch a show too. It really makes one feel pleasant..."

The Shrek group: "..."

"We will naturally be happily together, so there is no need to trouble the Pope to worry about it."

Liu Erlong hugged Grandmaster's arm to assert her sovereignty.

But Bibi Dong did not even glance at her, nor was there any change in her emotions.

She only looked at Grandmaster, the ripples in her eyes gradually calming down and disappearing.

"Goodbye."

Holding the Scepter and turning around, letting go of the past, she was once again that peerless and beautiful Female Pope.

"Qin Jian, I will wait for you in the Council Hall."

After saying this, she did not linger any longer and walked straight away from here.

Grandmaster looked at her back with a sense of loss, opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head dejectedly, having nothing more to say.

He knew that this time, it was truly a clean break, with not a shred of lingering affection left.

Why did it have to be like this...

Grandmaster suddenly looked up at Qin Jian, his expression very complex: "Qin Jian... be more careful in the Spirit Hall from now on... your identity has been made public, and there will certainly be many people who harbor malice toward you."

Qin Jian hurriedly put away the melon seeds in his hand and nodded solemnly: "I know, thank you for the Elder Identity Token you gave me."

"And another thing..."

Seeing Bibi Dong's back completely disappear from sight, Grandmaster said with a hint of melancholy: "If... I mean if... Bibi Dong develops a fondness for you... I hope you can treat her well..."

Qin Jian: "..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around immediately had varied expressions.

There was a feeling that Grandmaster's words sounded a bit "green" (cuckolded); was it just an illusion?

Liu Erlong gave him a strange look and said: "Xiaogang, the Pope and Qin Jian have such a large age gap, she could be his mother. How could the situation you mentioned happen? Don't go making random connections."

"Although they seem to have a large age gap, Qin Jian lived for a very long time before his transformation... um... a very long time, longer than any of us. If you count it up, he is actually much, much older than her, so age is not really a problem..."

Grandmaster looked at Qin Jian's bewildered expression and said earnestly: "When she was injecting the Spider Emperor Poison into you, I saw her eyes. They were so pure and clear, just like they were many years ago when she looked at me..."

"I believe she has already developed a fondness for you, although I don't know why... but the origin of feelings has no set rules, doesn't it?"

That's not fondness, Grandmaster; that stinky woman is playing tricks and being malicious in secret, alright...

Qin Jian really didn't know what kind of mood Grandmaster was in when he said this to him. Could it be that he was proving that the highest realm of love is letting go?

"What's more, her initial proposal was for you to marry her," Grandmaster added.

Qin Jian: "..."

He was almost starting to believe it...

But this woman, it really couldn't be that easy, right?

"I don't agree with your words. I think this woman is deep and scheming; no one knows what she is really thinking."

Liu Erlong frowned and said: "Qin Jian still needs to be very careful in the Spirit Hall and guard against the possibility that all her actions today are just to buy people's hearts."

"She is right, Jian'er, you cannot lower your guard."

Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo walked over together.

Jian Douluo's expression was very serious: "Today's incident was extremely dangerous, and the consequences are unpredictable. You are in the Spirit Hall, which is surrounded by wolves, and there is a Pope with unclear motives watching from above. Every step is dangerous; you must remain vigilant."

Grandmaster opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words for Bibi Dong, but was silenced by Liu Erlong pinching the soft flesh on his waist.

Qin Jian nodded to Jian Douluo: "Teacher, don't worry, I know all of this."

"Jian'er, many things seem good when thought of beforehand, but you will encounter many, many unforeseen difficulties when doing them. So you don't need to be too fixated on your own plans; preserving yourself is the most important thing."

Ning Fengzhi patted his shoulder and said: "No matter what, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is your backing."

Qin Jian met his gaze and knew that he meant for him not to be too obsessed with controlling the Spirit Hall.

"I understand."

Qin Jian looked at Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo and suddenly said: "Teacher, Uncle Ning, if there is dissent within the sect regarding my affairs, you can push all the blame onto me. Even expelling me from the sect is fine."

"Ah! How can Brother Jian be expelled?!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.

Qin Jian turned around, touched Ning Rongrong's little face, and smiled: "What happened today will definitely shake the hearts of the sect members. Not everyone has the same trust in me as you do. A disciple who has joined the Spirit Hall, even with Teacher's guarantee, will face a lot of suspicion."

Ning Rongrong was speechless.

She knew Qin Jian was right. The composition of the sect's personnel was very complex, and everyone had their own thoughts and ideas; it was impossible for everyone to accept this.

"Jian'er, you don't need to think about these things. No matter what voices appear within the sect, I will not allow your status as a sect disciple to be stripped. Wouldn't that just be pushing you toward the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said gently: "How could I possibly do such a stupid thing?"

"Within the sect, with Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu sitting in charge, and me coordinating in the middle, no big waves can be stirred up. What you need to do is protect yourself and then plot other things."

Ning Fengzhi said no more and then said: "You should say your goodbyes to them. Uncle Jian and I will wait ahead; we won't disturb you."

"Live well."

Jian Douluo patted Qin Jian's shoulder one last time with a final instruction before walking away with Ning Fengzhi.

"There is no banquet in the world that doesn't end. Little ones, it's not just Qin Jian; actually, it's time for all of us to part ways."

Flender's words attracted everyone's attention.

Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu looked at each other and stepped back a few paces, giving them space for their academy to say their goodbyes.

"You have won the grand championship of the Elite Soul Master Tournament of the entire Dalu, bringing supreme glory to Shrek Academy. You are the pride of the academy, and the academy is proud of you."

"I now represent the academy in announcing that you have officially graduated!"

Flender's words made Qin Jian and the others look at each other, revealing knowing smiles, but also carrying a bit of reluctance at the parting.

Having walked through several years of trials and tribulations, even Qin Jian, who had gone off to fall in love, could not avoid developing a sense of belonging to the academy.

At this moment of official graduation, everyone felt a certain indescribable sense of melancholy.

"What are your plans for what comes next?"

Seeing them all subconsciously look at him, Qin Jian then said: "Let's talk about everyone's future plans."

"As for me, I might go back to Holy Soul Village to take a look..."

Tang San raised his head, his eyes carrying a hint of longing: "I don't know if Dad will be there."

No need to look, your dad is watching you from up in the sky...

Qin Jian curled his lips and suddenly said: "Xiao San, regarding the grievances between Pope Bibi Dong and your family, I have some secrets I would like to tell you..."
