Chapter 213: Old Friends: Lan Xue and Bibi Dong

"Indeed a very firm mind. His martial soul should be the Fangtian Halberd, a martial soul focused on physical attacks, but why is his mental power so high?" Bibi Dong looked at Nan Feihuang with some curiosity.

Hu Liena's charm techniques are definitely very powerful. The two of them are of similar rank, so logically, it should not be too difficult for a mental-type expert to charm a Strong Attack System Spirit Master who follows a physical attack path.

Hu Liena's mental power has already surpassed some high-level Soul Kings and rivals that of a Soul Emperor.

Yet, facing Nan Feihuang, an early-level Soul King who follows a physical attack path, it still had no effect at all.

There are only two possibilities. The first is that his mental power is naturally very strong, not inferior to his attack power. The second is that he has a severe case of "love-brain," and apart from Qian Renxue, he truly cannot fit any other woman in his eyes.

Regardless of which one it is, it has increased Bibi Dong's murderous intent toward Nan Feihuang.

After all, the first possibility means Nan Feihuang's talent is even more outstanding than she imagined; such a genius cannot belong to the Offering Hall. The second means his sincerity toward Qian Renxue is also incomparably deep. And again, people of the Qian Family cannot be allowed to have such happiness.

If it were not for Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong would absolutely not let Nan Feihuang walk out of Wuhun City alive.

"Huang'er, it is getting late. What are you doing here? It is time to go home!" Just at this moment, another figure came looking for him; it was Nan Feihuang's mother, Lan Xue.

In fact, she had been secretly protecting Nan Feihuang all along. Tang Hao's previous assassination attempt had made her like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow; even with Nan Feihuang inside Wuhun City, she worried whether someone might take a desperate risk.

"Yes, this disciple takes his leave." Hu Liena is very obedient to Bibi Dong; if Bibi Dong tells her to leave, she will not linger.

"Feihuang, I will see you off. Your Excellency Profound Ice, farewell."

Qian Renxue and Nan Feihuang greeted each other's mothers respectively and left the Spirit Hall one after the other.

"Mother!" Nan Feihuang stepped forward and said, "Understood, child will return immediately. Your Excellency Pope, Nan Feihuang takes his leave."

Bibi Dong nodded, "Nana, you withdraw as well."

"Bibi Dong—no, it should be Your Excellency Pope now. Can we talk alone?" Lan Xue asked.

Thus, she immediately revealed herself.

"Not as good as your son. I truly did not expect that over these years, you have secretly cultivated such an outstanding son, far surpassing Nana." Although Bibi Dong does not like Nan Feihuang and even wants to kill him, she still has this bit of self-awareness; her disciple is indeed not as good as Nan Feihuang.

When she was with Qian Renxue, she was naturally at ease, but just a moment ago, she caught a flash of murderous intent. As a Title Douluo, she was certain that she could not have felt wrong.

"You have taken in a good disciple. This girl's talent is very high, not inferior to us back then," Lan Xue said, looking at Hu Liena's departing back.

"So, this is the reason you have murderous intent toward my son?" Lan Xue's expression was full of Anger, her tone carrying a hint of questioning. Even though she knew Bibi Dong's status was higher than hers, when it involved her son, she could not suppress it. Her Extreme Ice caused the surrounding temperature to drop. "Your Excellency Pope, we were friends back then, were we not? I remember you were not someone who would be so jealous of talent. What has happened to you over these years? You have become increasingly strange. I remember when we first met, you were so pure and kind."

"Because I am now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and in the future, this position will surely be handed to Nana. Therefore, I do not allow any Spirit Master stronger than Nana to exist outside the Spirit Hall." Bibi Dong explained casually; she could hardly say she wanted to kill him because Nan Feihuang likes Qian Renxue.

Since Lan Xue misunderstood, then let her continue to misunderstand.

"As for things like being pure and kind, the moment I became Pope, they were ground away on the Pope Throne."

"I do not believe such an excuse. You are not someone who craves power at all." Lan Xue shook her head firmly; she still had some confidence in the Bibi Dong in her heart. "Is it related to the Master? Back then, what exactly happened between you two? Why did you suddenly separate? After I heard about this, I came to the Spirit Hall to find you, but at that time, your teacher, the former Pope, said you were in secluded cultivation, and I did not see you."

Lan Xue is one of the very few who knew that Bibi Dong and the Master had a past. If Bibi Dong were truly someone who craved power, she would not have fallen in love with a useless Spirit Master like the Master back then.

She is a "love-brain," but she is not stupid. Being with someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family like the Master is equivalent to cutting oneself off from the Spirit Hall; Bibi Dong could not have been unaware of this.

Clearly, if she had just followed the steps, she would have naturally been the successor to the Spirit Hall, yet she was so reckless.

"Shut up!" Bibi Dong shouted. This question from Lan Xue was undoubtedly picking at her scars. Although she knew this was because Lan Xue knew nothing, and she also understood that Lan Xue had no ill intent and was merely concerned for her.

But the current her no longer needs this kind of concern.

When she needed help the most, did this so-called friend ever give her any help?

She came to visit, and as a result, a single word from Qian Xunji sent her away.

What secluded cultivation? At that time, she was being locked in a secret chamber by Qian Xunji, living a life worse than death.

"Lan Xue, you go. Go protect your son well. Rest assured, I will not truly lay a hand on him. The murderous intent just now was merely an instinctive reaction to seeing a genius who does not belong to my Spirit Hall." Bibi Dong turned back; no one can empathize with her experiences.

Therefore, she did not want to say anything more to this so-called old friend.

From the moment she emerged from that secret chamber, apart from a very few people, no one and nothing in this world mattered to her anymore.

Lan Xue looked at Bibi Dong's back with a complex gaze, feeling that the current Bibi Dong was simply impossible to communicate with, as if saying one more word was difficult.

Something must have happened back then. If it were just because of separating from a man, a kind young girl could not have undergone such a great change.

In fact, she herself did not marry for love back then either.

The reason she agreed to Nan Tianchen's proposal back then was purely to repay a debt of gratitude.

She does not deny that she has Nan Tianchen in her heart now, but that is a relationship of mutual respect that developed naturally from years of living together, mixed with a bit of family affection.

It can be said that Lan Xue has never truly experienced a passionate, earth-shattering love in her life, which is why it is even harder for her to understand the sorrow in Bibi Dong's heart.

"Sigh!" Lan Xue sighed and helplessly turned to leave. Fortunately, she had obtained the answer she wanted.

Bibi Dong should be above deceiving her. Since she promised not to lay a hand on Nan Feihuang, at least she does not need to worry about her son's safety for the time being.
