Chapter 405: Dissolving the Engagement with Ning Rongrong

"Qin Jian, as long as you agree to one condition, I guarantee that I will never lay a hand on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future, unless they take the initiative to deal with me," Bibi Dong said, raising her eyebrows.

Qin Jian folded his arms and asked, "What condition?"

Bibi Dong looked at his face and said slowly, "Dissolve your engagement with Ning Rongrong."

Qin Jian: "..."

Hu Liena's expression shifted, and she immediately lowered her head in silence.

Because this demand from Bibi Dong was also very beneficial to her and was something she herself had hoped would happen, she did not know what expression she should wear.

If she were too happy, who knew what Qin Jian would think of her? She, a little vixen, was too smart to do such a foolish thing...

"You want me to dissolve my engagement with Rongrong?"

Qin Jian narrowed his eyes and asked again.

Seeing his reaction, Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat, but she still said, "Yes, I hope you will dissolve your engagement with her. I think this is also Nana's wish."

She had conveniently dragged her precious disciple onto the chariot with her...

Hu Liena opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but then silently closed it again.

"Is that so?"

Qin Jian turned his head: "Nana, you also want me to dissolve the engagement, is that right?"

Finally unable to keep watching from the sidelines or stay silent to reap the benefits, Hu Liena lifted her head helplessly. Meeting Qin Jian's indifferent gaze, she took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

"Now that I am your official girlfriend, I also want to spend my life with you..."

She thought for a moment and added, "I believe no one can tolerate their own man having... an existing engagement with another woman."

Qin Jian was silent for a moment.

Should he take this opportunity to break up with Hu Liena now? That seemed a bit too scummy...

He could not bring himself to say it, because Hu Liena's request... was legitimate.

No matter how difficult such a request was for him to accept, Hu Liena had the right to make it.

This point was undeniable, and he could not vent his anger on her because of it, let alone use it as an excuse to break up with her.

"Nana..."

Qin Jian took a deep breath, then looked at her and said slowly: "It is impossible for me to dissolve my engagement with Rongrong. She... is my first love."

Bibi Dong was stunned, and Hu Liena began to shed tears slowly as soon as she heard his words clearly.

"I'm sorry..."

Qin Jian raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from Hu Liena's face: "I... am just like this. I cannot let go of many feelings, and it is inevitable that I will make you sad. If you feel it's not good, or that you don't like me that much, then... then..."

He still could not bring himself to say it; such hurtful words were a bit too much...

"No! Don't even think about it!"

Hu Liena suddenly looked up, her eyes seemingly burning with raging Flame: "I will never let go easily, even if you still have other women in your heart, after all..."

She gave a cold snort and turned her head away: "After all, even my own teacher is fighting for you, why should I give up?!"

Qin Jian: "..."

Don't point it out so clearly...

Bibi Dong, standing to the side, was also somewhat embarrassed.

She hurriedly changed the subject and continued from where she had started: "Qin Jian, if you cannot dissolve your engagement with Ning Rongrong, then I will not spare the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect during this Soul Hunting Operation. Do you really choose this?"

As expected of the Pope's mindset, turning everything in her hands into a weapon to fight for her own interests; this was what she was best at.

Although even if she did so, she would likely still spare Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Jian Douluo, and the others, she would take the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and use it as a bargaining chip to threaten Qin Jian.

Selfless and unregretful devotion was indeed not her style; as long as there was an opportunity, she would still play some tricks.

Qin Jian could not help but smile.

Fortunately, he had been prepared for this for a long time—five years, to be exact. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could still be wiped out after all that, then Ning Dalao might as well just wash up and go to sleep...

"Pope..."

He suddenly looked at Bibi Dong and said with a calm expression: "How about we make a bet?"

"A bet?"

Bibi Dong paused: "What kind of bet in this situation?"

Qin Jian smiled slightly: "Let's bet on whether or not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be wiped out by you."

As soon as he said this, both Bibi Dong and Hu Liena looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Qin Jian, having joined the Spirit Hall for so long, do you not know that you still haven't grasped just how vast the power of the Spirit Masters we hold in our hands is?"

Bibi Dong said with a strange expression: "Never mind one Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I could wipe out three with a flip of my hand."

"Since you are so confident, then let's have a proper bet..."

Qin Jian spread his hands: "If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is fine, then the Spirit Hall's plan to unify the Dalu must be adjusted according to my ideas. How about that?"

"And if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot hold them off?"

Bibi Dong looked at him and said: "Will you dissolve your engagement with Ning Rongrong?"

"No, I won't bet on that kind of thing with you..."

Qin Jian waved his hand and said: "But if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is defeated, then I will stay in the Spirit Hall forever, by your side. How is that for a promise?"

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena subconsciously looked at each other, then nodded at the same time: "Fine."

In their minds, the reason Qin Jian joined the Spirit Hall was entirely because he had no other choice at the time, so he was not there voluntarily.

And now, after he had fused with that strange Dragon Spear, he could clearly suppress Bibi Dong for a short time, which meant that if he wanted to leave now, they would not be able to stop him at all.

This was also the reason why Bibi Dong had tried time and again to figure out Qin Jian's background, because she had no confidence in keeping the current Qin Jian.

"Qin Jian, in this bet, I will still proceed with the attack according to the original plan, but at the same time, I will not take action myself, and the two Elders Ju and Gui will not go either..."

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes looked at him indifferently: "Therefore, you are not allowed to go back and intervene, nor are you allowed to reveal this attack plan."

Qin Jian waved his hand, turned around, and walked into the Pope Palace: "I have no interest in knowing your plans either. I haven't slept for a whole year and I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep first; tell me whenever your Soul Hunting Operation has a result."

Watching Qin Jian leave so nonchalantly, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena looked at each other, quite bewildered.

"Teacher, is he a bit too carefree? How come he doesn't look worried at all?"

Hu Liena said with a wry smile: "Doesn't he know that if the Spirit Hall makes a move, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will really be finished?"

Bibi Dong was not as optimistic as she was.

She looked at Qin Jian's back, her expression full of inquiry: "He must have his own reliance; what exactly is it..."

"We have already investigated the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect clearly over this past year. With our strength, plus a sneak attack, we should be able to take them down easily without too much loss," Hu Liena said, looking at her teacher.

A strange look suddenly appeared on Bibi Dong's face: "His reliance wouldn't be that so-called emergency retreat plan of his, or that escape route, would it..."
