Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

However, her words took on another meaning in the eyes of others, after all, the position of Holy Son represented Bibi Dong's attitude.

For Juhua Guan, this means that his future training focus will be on Gu Yi. As for Hu Liena, she may at most have the title of a disciple of the Pope.

For Gu Yi, having this position made things much easier for him in Wuhun City, and the power he possessed also made it easier for him to make arrangements for the future.

but……

Gu Yi glanced at Gu Rong beside him, feeling conflicted again.

After all, the Qiluo Tulip was meant to repay a favor to Gu Rong, and he intended to use it to settle the grudges between Gu Rong and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

He knew that Gu Rong was an extremely upright person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. If this matter was not handled properly, it would remain a hurdle in his heart forever.

After much deliberation, Gu Yi finally made a tough decision.

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I cannot grant your request."

Gu Yi bowed and replied respectfully.

"Huh? Why?"

Bibi Dong frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

"Because this item is used to repay the debt my grandfather owed to Ning Fengzhi."

"Only by handing it over to Ning Fengzhi can my grandfather work for you with peace of mind. Otherwise, he will always have something on his mind, and his work will naturally be hindered, won't it?"

Gu Yi explained.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong understood, but she was still somewhat unwilling to lose such a good opportunity to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Can't we get something else?"

"My Spirit Hall still has several high-quality spirit bones, which can be given to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to replace this item. What do you think?"

"If you offer it now, the previously agreed-upon reward will still apply."

Bibi Dong still wanted to try her best. If it weren't for the Rakshasa God Trial restricting her soul power, she would have wanted to just take it by force.

"This……"

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may not be lacking in these."

"Moreover, I'm afraid only this thing can convince Ning Fengzhi to let my grandfather leave."

Gu Yi still rejected Bibi Dong's proposal.

Although he knew this might lower Bibi Dong's favor towards him, he had no choice but to do it.

After all, this was something he had promised his grandfather.

Strangely, Bibi Dong only sighed and did not do anything else, and Gu Yi's favorability rating on the panel did not decrease.

"Since you insist, I, the Pope, will not force you. In fact, I am willing to give you another chance."

"As long as you can perform better than Hu Liena in this Soul Master Competition, I am still willing to give you the position of Holy Son."

"how?"

Although she couldn't obtain the Qiluo Tulip, Bibi Dong still wanted to win Gu Yi's heart; she wanted to...

Gu Yi and his grandson were tied up in the Spirit Hall.

To pave the way for her future plans!

"Thank you, His Majesty the Pope."

Gu Yi was overjoyed.

He hadn't expected that his actions wouldn't lower his image, but would even give him another chance.

If that's the case, then the next step is much simpler.

With the system rewards and the strength of his own martial soul, it would be too easy for him to stand out in this advanced soul master academy competition.

"Alright, all my doubts have been resolved. Do you two have anything else to say?"

"If there's nothing else, you may leave. Yue Guan, you are in charge of arranging Elder Gu's accommodation."

Bibi Dong had finished what she needed to do. After giving the order to Juhua Pass, she thought about having them all withdraw.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope," Juhua Guan replied respectfully.

Then, he walked up to the ancient banyan tree and pointed it in a direction with a grin.

"Let's go, Elder Gu."

With that, he walked ahead.

Seeing this, Gu Yi and Gu Rong followed behind him and left the main hall together.

But as soon as he stepped outside, he found the ghost waiting in front of the palace gate, seemingly anxious about something.

But when he saw Gu Rong and Gu Yi come out together, the expression on his face changed again.

"Huh? Old Ghost? What brings you here?"

"Chrysanthemum Pass asked curiously."

"Forehead……"

Ghost glanced at Gu Yi, unsure how to respond.

He couldn't very well say in front of everyone that he had only come to see how Gu Rong would be dealt with and whether he could obtain the herb from Gu Yi, could he?

"It's nothing. I just heard that you found the ancient banyan tree, so I came here to see it."

As if joking, Ghostly explained with a smile.

"Haha, old ghost, you can't call me Gu Rong anymore, you have to call me Elder Gu."

"Elder Gu is now also a member of our Spirit Hall."

For some reason, Juhua Guan was somewhat excited.

"An elder? He's an elder already?"

Ghosts were somewhat surprised, after all, they had fought for so long and only recently became elders.

But this ancient banyan tree has grown old since we arrived?

"What? Old Ghost, you have a problem with that? How about we have a fight and see what happens?"

Seeing that the ghost seemed quite unhappy, Gu Rong got a little angry and mocked it provocatively.

"Heh!" Ghostly sneered, but did not retaliate.

He looked at Chrysanthemum Pass again and said indifferently.

"Meet me at the usual place tonight, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"Grandpa, I'll head back now. Zhuqing is waiting for me in her dorm."

Having finished his business, Gu Yi planned to retreat, as he needed to hurry back to his dormitory to absorb soul rings.

"Okay, Grandpa will come to see you again tomorrow."

……

Spirit Hall Academy, dormitory.

At this moment, there were two figures in Gu Yi's dormitory.

One of the dishes was naturally Zhu Zhuqing's, but the other one was Hu Liena's.

The two of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room, one leisurely looking at the ceiling, and the other intently gazing at the other.

"They've all left, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Zhu Zhuqing had been watching her for a long time. After Gu Yi was taken away, everyone else had left, but Hu Liena lingered there, saying she had something she wanted to ask Gu Yi.

"Didn't I say I need to talk to Gu Yi? Of course I'll wait for him to come back here."

Hu Liena leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling as she replied.

The ceiling was like a screen, and she was imagining the scenarios that Gu Yi might encounter at this moment.

"You can go back first, and when he comes back, I'll have him come to find you again."

Zhu Zhuqing disliked this intruder very much and wanted to drive her out of the world that belonged only to her and Gu Yi.

"No, this is urgent. I need to talk to him in person and get a reply."

Hu Liena didn't want to leave at this moment; she was really curious about how her teacher would treat Gu Yi.

And what happened to Gu Rong, the titled Douluo?

Will Gu Yi take this opportunity to snatch her position as the Holy Maiden?

These questions filled her mind, making her increasingly concerned about Gu Yi.

Chapter 89 Sleepless Night

"In a hurry? Humph!"

"I don't think things are urgent. You're the one who's in a hurry, aren't you?"

Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what Hu Liena was thinking, for some reason, as if it were a sixth sense, she felt that there was some danger.

For some reason, she always wanted to keep Hu Liena out of her and Gu Yi's sight.

"No matter what you think, I don't want to leave right now, and you can't force me to."

Hu Liena resorted to shamelessness, figuring that Zhu Zhuqing couldn't beat her anyway, so she could do whatever she wanted.

"伱......"

Anger flared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She glared at Hu Liena, ready to strike.

But reason told her that she needed to stay calm. Gu Yi had been taken away and hadn't returned yet; she had to wait for him.

At this crucial juncture, she doesn't want any more trouble.

And so, the two fell silent again, but this time, the atmosphere was more tense than before.
