Upon hearing this, Hu Liena nodded as if she understood, but she did not ask any further questions.
"Nana, what do you think of the situation just now?"
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong glanced at Hu Liena's expression and asked softly.
"Teacher, although neither of those two spoke, I feel that Second Miss Ye seems easier to get along with than the other one."
After thinking for a moment, Hu Liena answered seriously.
Listening to Hu Liena's answer, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong could not help but shake her head slightly.
"One cannot judge everything by appearances."
"Although the eldest Miss Qian is arrogant, if any conflict were to arise, she would most likely deal with you fairly and justly."
"But Second Miss Ye is completely different; she is a Black Sesame Dumpling. On the surface, she seems harmless, but inside she is not only dark but also full of schemes."
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong walked forward as she spoke.
Just now, she had clearly captured the murderous intent in Ye Xi's eyes. Although Qian Renxue was at odds with the Supreme Pontiff Palace, she had never displayed such murderous intent.
Ye Xi was different. When Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong said she would appoint Hu Liena as the Holy Maiden, that subtle murderous intent could not be faked.
"Black Sesame Dumpling?"
Listening to Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong's description, Hu Liena repeated it, her beautiful eyes blinking involuntarily.
"Nana, you should go back first."
"I still have some administrative matters to attend to."
Entering the area of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong waved her hand lightly at Hu Liena and walked towards her study.
"Teacher, then I will take my leave."
Hu Liena bowed respectfully to Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong and walked towards where she lived.
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong entered her study and began to handle the administrative matters before her.
...
On the other side.
In the majestic and solemn Hall of Offerings, Qian Daoliu looked at the contemplation on the faces of Qian Renxue and Ye Xi and spoke softly: "Xue'er, Ye Xi, as for Spirit Hall, Grandpa is here."
"You don't need to think too much; Grandpa will handle it."
A kind smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face, and his voice was very gentle.
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue and Ye Xi snapped back to their senses almost instantly. After exchanging a look, both of them beamed with smiles.
"Grandpa, we understand."
Qian Renxue and Ye Xi answered in unison.
Looking at the two of them, Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.
"Grandpa, Ye Xi and I are going out for a walk."
Qian Renxue said, rising from her seat, taking Ye Xi's hand, and walking towards the outside of the Hall of Offerings.
"Hmm, you haven't been back to Spirit City for a long time, so go and take a stroll around Spirit City."
Watching their retreating figures, Qian Daoliu said softly.
Under Qian Daoliu's gaze, the two quickly walked out of the Hall of Offerings and headed forward.
Walking on the path of the Hall of Offerings, Qian Renxue and Ye Xi did not speak, heading straight towards Spirit City.
Leaving the Supreme Pontiff Palace and walking on the streets of Spirit City, Qian Renxue suddenly asked: "Ye Xi, what do you think of that woman's proposal?"
Qian Renxue's voice carried a hint of contemplation.
"Sister, I feel that the current Supreme Pontiff does not want to return the position of Supreme Pontiff to the Qian family."
Ye Xi answered softly, her voice filled with indifference.
"Yes, she does not want to return the position of Supreme Pontiff to the Qian family."
While speaking, Qian Renxue could not help but glance at the direction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, the look in her eyes very complex.
"Sister, don't think too much."
"Didn't Grandpa say he would handle it?"
Looking at Qian Renxue, Ye Xi said softly.
"Hmm..."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, not saying anything else, but her gaze turned to Ye Xi.
"Ye Xi, let's stroll around Spirit City."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue pulled Ye Xi towards the most prosperous part of Spirit City.
Ye Xi walked beside Qian Renxue, her azure blue eyes scanning both sides of the street, as if she were looking for something interesting.
Qian Renxue was the same; the two stopped and walked in front of various stalls, occasionally picking up an item to observe it carefully.
The two wandered around Spirit City until late at night, when Qian Renxue and Ye Xi, each holding a skewer of candied hawthorn, walked towards the Hall of Offerings.
"Sister, when are we returning to the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Ye Xi walked beside Qian Renxue, took a bite of the candied hawthorn in her hand, and asked.
"In the next few days."
"Although I have already arranged the affairs of the Tiandou Royal Palace, I still feel a bit uneasy if I stay for too long."
Qian Renxue said thoughtfully.
"The next few days?"
"That is also fine."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Xi nodded slightly.
"After we go back this time, we need to find a way to squeeze the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School out of the Heaven Dou Royal Family. It would be best if your Frost Snow Pavilion could replace the mutually supportive relationship of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Qian Renxue said thoughtfully, a hint of contemplation appearing in her golden eyes.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xi did not answer Qian Renxue's question immediately but began to think seriously.
"Sister, I think this matter cannot be rushed; we need to take it step by step."
"That old fox, Ning Fengzhi, if we are not careful, it will be easy for him to notice something."
Ye Xi took a bite of the candied hawthorn, her voice very serious.
"Yes."
"In the entire Heaven Dou City, the only one who can make me feel troubled is Ning Fengzhi."
After Qian Renxue nodded in agreement, she also raised the candied hawthorn in her hand and took a bite.
"Take it slow, we will eventually wait for a suitable opportunity."
Ye Xi said softly, her azure blue eyes glancing in the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Hmm, let's go back first."
After stretching, Qian Renxue took Ye Xi and walked into the Supreme Pontiff Palace, but the two did not stop in the Supreme Pontiff Palace and returned directly to the Hall of Offerings.
Walking on the path back to the Hall of Offerings, Qian Renxue and Ye Xi greeted each other and walked towards their respective rooms.
Back in her room, Ye Xi sat directly on the bed, eating the candied hawthorn while tapping her fingers on the table, looking thoughtful.
"Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong."
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Ning Fengzhi."
Ye Xi muttered to herself, a hint of contemplation appearing in her pair of azure blue eyes.
After a long while, having finished the candied hawthorn in her hand, Ye Xi took a deep look at the direction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace before withdrawing her gaze. She then sat cross-legged on the soft and comfortable big bed and began to meditate and Cultivate.
As the meditation and Cultivation progressed, Ye Xi could clearly feel that her spirit power was continuously increasing at a slow speed.
