Chapter 39 Immortal Herb?! Qian Xunji: Why don't Yue Guan and Gui Mei go together! An Unexpected Surprise
Looking into Lan Yue's clear and expectant eyes, Bibi Dong's doubts dissipated.
Soul Masters have a very mysterious ability to sense opportunities, and since Lan Yue has twin martial souls, he may have really sensed something.
Even though to outsiders, the reason given by Lan Yue seems very unreliable.
But as long as it's for Lan Yue's good, she's willing to go through fire and water.
"Sunset Forest... Heaven Dou Empire..."
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, a resolute glint in her eyes:
"Alright! Since Xiaoyue you have a feeling, let's go there!"
"However, Sunset Forest is teeming with spirit beasts. If we venture deeper, we might even encounter spirit beasts that are ten thousand years old. It wouldn't be safe for just the two of us."
Bibi Dong stood up, exuding an undeniable air of authority:
"I will go to His Holiness the Pope now and request permission to bring an elder with me."
"Just say you're taking the Holy Son out for training, and incidentally hunting for soul rings."
Lan Yue was secretly delighted and quickly added:
"Sister Dong'er, it would be best to find an elder who is knowledgeable in the physiology of flowers and herbs. That would make it easier for us to find a treasure trove!"
Bibi Dong gave him an approving look and pinched his cheek:
"You little rascal, you've thought of everything quite thoroughly."
"Then... Elder Yue will do."
Bibi Dong's lips curled up slightly:
"Elder Yue Guan is most obsessed with rare flowers and exotic plants, so having him accompany us is the most suitable thing to do."
"Let's go, let's set off now!"
In the Papal Palace, on the throne, Qian Xunji was reading a secret report, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Knock knock knock".
A soft, rhythmic knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Come in."
Qian Xunji said without looking up.
The door slowly opened, and Bibi Dong, holding Lan Yue's hand, walked in with a composed gait.
"Teacher."
Bibi Dong bowed slightly, and Lan Yue obediently followed suit.
Qian Xunji put down the documents in his hand, his gaze falling on Bibi Dong, and a gentle smile appeared on his originally serious face:
"It's Dong'er, and Xiaoyue too."
What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation today?
Bibi Dong gently shook her head, her expression carrying just the right amount of weariness and melancholy:
"Teacher, my cultivation is progressing smoothly."
However… I've been feeling unsettled lately, a sense of unease lingering in my heart, making it difficult to fully calm my mind during cultivation.
She glanced at Lan Yue beside her, a hint of doting in her eyes:
"In addition, Xiaoyue spends all his time cultivating in the hall."
Although his progress is rapid, I'm afraid he's still young. If I push him too hard, it might damage his foundation and cause him to lose his childlike innocence.
"Therefore, I dare to ask my teacher for leave."
Bibi Dong raised her head, looking at Qian Xunji with clear eyes:
"I want to take Xiaoyue out for a walk to clear his mind."
We didn't go to any far places, just strolled around a few famous mountains and rivers within the Heaven Dou Empire.
I think that if I could find solace in nature, it might bring me peace of mind, and my cultivation would be more efficient in the future.
She did not mention the "treasure land" that Lan Yue had mentioned.
After all, the reason seemed rather outlandish to her.
If they were to say it out loud, Qian Xunji would probably think it was just childish nonsense, and might even refuse their request to go out.
It would be better to use the reason of "relaxing her mind," which is both reasonable and demonstrates her emphasis on cultivation and her care for her junior brother.
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji paused slightly, then nodded thoughtfully.
"Hmm...you have a point."
Qian Xunji stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the scenery outside:
"In the path of cultivation, the right way is to maintain a balance between tension and relaxation."
You've been pushing yourself too hard lately. It would be good to take Xiaoyue out for a walk.
Qian Xunji was always quite lenient with this exceptionally talented disciple on whom he placed high hopes.
Moreover, Bibi Dong's reasons were quite valid; adjusting one's mindset for better cultivation was a worthwhile endeavor in itself.
"In that case, it is permitted."
Qian Xunji turned around and looked at the two of them with gentle eyes:
"However, although it is within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, the situation on the continent is currently turbulent, and the identities of the two of you are extremely special, so the issue of your safety cannot be ignored."
Which elder would you like to bring along?
Bibi Dong was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm and respectfully replied:
"Thank you for your understanding, teacher."
This time we're just going sightseeing; we're not going to any dangerous places where spirit beasts gather, and we don't intend to cause any trouble.
Therefore, there's no need to trouble the seniors of the Hall of Offerings; a mere level 91 ordinary Title Douluo elder will suffice as a bodyguard.
She paused, seemingly considering the candidate, before tentatively saying:
"I think... Elder Yue Guan might be more suitable?"
He has a friendly personality and is quite familiar with the local customs and traditions, making him a perfect guide for us.
After hearing this, Qian Xunji did not immediately agree, but pondered for a moment.
"Yue Guan..."
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
A moment later, Qian Xunji raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes:
"I'm not comfortable taking Yue Guan with me alone."
"Although you don't go to dangerous places, you are the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and Xiaoyue is the Holy Son. Your safety is related to the future of the Spirit Hall and cannot be compromised in the slightest."
Qian Xunji waved his hand and said in an unquestionable manner:
"How about this, let Yue Guan and Gui Mei go together."
"Gui Mei?"
Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback.
"Good."
Qian Xunji nodded and explained:
"Although Yue Guan's attack methods are strange, his defense is slightly weak."
The ghost's strengths in stealth and defense complement each other perfectly.
"More importantly, the two of them have known each other for many years and have a perfect understanding. They also possess a powerful martial soul fusion skill—the Two Extremes Stillness Domain."
Qian Xunji's gaze became deep and sharp:
"Once this domain is activated, it can forcibly control even a Super Douluo of level 95 or above for a moment."
"With them here, even if you encounter some unavoidable danger, this short period of time is enough for the two of you to escape safely."
Hearing Qian Xunji's arrangement, Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised, but mostly delighted.
Originally, she only planned to take Yue Guan, the "encyclopedia of plants," to find the Immortal Herb.
Unexpectedly, Qian Xunji was so generous that he directly sent Gui Mei to them as well.

"Teacher's consideration is very thoughtful, and your disciple is extremely grateful!"
Bibi Dong quickly pulled Lan Yue to bow again, her tone filled with sincere gratitude.
Lan Yue was secretly delighted; this assist was absolutely perfect!
