Chapter 12: Do Not Trust Anyone

……

"T-Teacher?"

Because Nan Feng had acted on his own initiative to reveal his true form in front of Hu Liena and had also created an inexplicable Alliance of the Unrighteous that opposed feudalism, landlords, and hegemony, Bibi Dong had no choice but to go along with Nan Feng's plan.

"Your Highness Saintess, are you... serious?"

Hu Liena, who had just been woken up by Nan Feng, looked at Bibi Dong in a daze.

She wanted to take her as a student?

"Mm." Bibi Dong nodded.

Her main reason for coming here this time was for this matter; it was perfect, she could let Nan Feng see if he liked Hu Liena, and if he did, she would let Hu Liena take care of Nan Feng when she went into seclusion later.

"What, you aren't willing?" Bibi Dong asked.

"No! No, I am!" Hu Liena shook her head nervously.

"I just feel... like I'm dreaming..."

First she saw a cat that could speak human language, and then the Saintess was going to take her as a disciple... could she be dreaming?

That's it!

It must be a daydream and she hadn't woken up yet! Thinking of this, Hu Liena pinched her thigh hard.

"What are you doing?" Bibi Dong looked suspiciously at Hu Liena, who had pinched herself until tears came out.

"I..." Hu Liena bit her lip and looked up with tears in her eyes.

It hurt! It wasn't a dream! "Being timid is one thing, but having a bad brain is another." Nan Feng walked to Hu Liena's side with some disdain and gently touched her.

"Huh?" Hu Liena was completely confused.

This cat could really talk?!

No, wait, she didn't feel pain anymore! "I'll leave the missionary work to you, I'm going out for a stroll." Saying this, Nan Feng jumped out of the window.

"Meow!!!"

The corner of Bibi Dong's eye twitched wildly.

This is the sixth floor! ……

Pope Palace.

The news of Bibi Dong running to Spirit Hall Academy to take on a disciple quickly reached the ears of Qian Xunji.

"Top-tier mental-type Demon Fox Spirit, Innate level nine..." Qian Xunji looked at the information submitted by Spirit Hall Academy.

"Daddy, did Mommy take on a disciple?" Qian Renxue leaned in curiously.

"Didn't they say Mommy's Killing God Domain is still unstable and she shouldn't be in contact with people?"

"Who knows..." Qian Xunji also couldn't understand Bibi Dong's actions.

Could it be that she had figured things out during her three years in Slaughter City?

It made sense; a Twin Martial Souls with Innate Full Spirit Power who had even overcome the difficulty of cultivating Twin Martial Souls simultaneously—such a top-tier genius should never waste her life for the sake of a piece of trash.

"Let's go, let's go see her." Qian Xunji stood up.

Qian Renxue looked hesitant, "But, Grandpa said, before Mommy's killing intent stabilizes, we shouldn't go look for her..."

"I'm taking you with me, there won't be any problems," Qian Xunji said.

"Besides, don't you want to see what kind of disciple she took?"

"……"

……

Saintess Hall.

After Bibi Dong successfully took on a disciple, she brought Hu Liena back.

"From now on, you can come here whenever you aren't in class at Spirit Hall Academy."

Bibi Dong was currently showing Hu Liena around the Saintess Hall.

The Saintess Hall, just like the Pope Palace, was not just a single palace, but a complex of palaces, with many large and small buildings serving different functions.

The Pope Palace occupied almost one-tenth of the size of Wuhun City, and the clergy of Wuhun City all worked within the Pope Palace.

The Pope Palace that everyone usually spoke of was actually similar to the place where the Two Great Empires held their morning courts, which was the council hall Nan Feng had visited before. Although the Saintess Hall was not as exaggerated as the Pope Palace, it was also composed of four large courtyards—east, west, south, and north—and in terms of scale, it was about the same as the residence of a Duke of the Two Great Empires.

The west courtyard was for logistics, the south courtyard was the facade of the Saintess Hall used for greeting guests and was not for living in, and the place where Bibi Dong lived was the north courtyard, which was also where she would be going into seclusion.

Now, the place Bibi Dong was showing Hu Liena was the east courtyard.

"I'm not particularly familiar with this place either," Bibi Dong said.

"You can walk around more yourself when you have time later."

Hu Liena nodded, "Understood, Teacher."

"Oh, right." Bibi Dong paused her steps.

"Do not trust anyone in this hall."

Hu Liena was startled, "Why?"

"I will tell you the reason later, but for now, you just need to remember it," Bibi Dong said.

The people in the Saintess Hall were all sent by Qian Xunji to monitor her, without exception.

"I will remember," Hu Liena nodded and stopped asking.

"And also..." Before she could finish, Bibi Dong's expression fell.

Not far ahead, Qian Xunji was walking toward them, followed by a peeking Qian Renxue.

"Crown Pope!" Hu Liena bowed clumsily.

"Is this the new disciple you've taken?" Qian Xunji sized up the timid Hu Liena.

"Not bad."

"Thank you, Pope." Bibi Dong's attitude was somewhat cold, as she tried her best to suppress the killing intent within her.

Qian Xunji did not mind, pulling Qian Renxue from behind him, "Qianxue, go play with this child; the Saintess and I have some things to discuss."

"Mm." Qian Renxue walked out, feeling somewhat nervous, not daring to look at Bibi Dong.

Although Qian Renxue knew that Bibi Dong had only shown that appearance earlier because her killing intent had spiraled out of control, it had still left quite a shadow on her.

"Pope, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Bibi Dong blocked the path in front of Hu Liena.

"Some things are not convenient to say," Qian Xunji said.

"..."

"Nana, go play." Bibi Dong gave Hu Liena a look, signaling her to take Qian Renxue to the garden where Nan Feng was sleeping.

"Oh..." Hu Liena stood out, feeling somewhat nervous.

Watching Bibi Dong have such a close relationship with another child, Qian Renxue's eyes underwent an inexplicable change.

Why? Could it be that her killing intent only spirals out of control when she sees her?

Watching Qian Renxue and Hu Liena walk away, Qian Xunji withdrew his gaze and looked at Bibi Dong, "There is a matter I need your help with."

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, "What matter?"

"Don't you not want to see Qianxue?" Qian Xunji took out the plan for going undercover in Tiandou and handed it to Bibi Dong.

"Now, there is an opportunity to make her obediently stay away from you."

Bibi Dong flipped through the plan in her hands and couldn't help but laugh, "Undercover?"

"I never imagined that you wouldn't even bother to put on an act anymore, and could actually do something like this."

To put it nicely, it's undercover; to put it bluntly, it's sending a little girl not even ten years old to the Tiandou royal family to swindle their trust and then slaughter their entire family.

"Great achievements do not concern themselves with trifles," Qian Xunji's expression remained unchanged.

"So, what is your choice?"

"What if I refuse?" Bibi Dong said.

Qian Xunji clasped his hands behind his back, turned to the side, and looked at the flowers and plants by the roadside, "Do you still remember that discarded pawn of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?"

"I have a lot of information about him; do you want to hear it?"

"..."
