Only after Rakshasa God's aura completely disappeared from the statue did Bibi Dong finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Her towering chest rose and fell, showing just how nervous she had been moments ago.
Although she had accepted the Rakshasa God inheritance, the other party had never spoken to her even once. Both appearances were because of Jiang Chen.
"Teacher, how did you know I had an encounter in the Slaughter City?"
Bibi Dong said, "Because I sensed a peculiar aura on you—the aura of being chosen by a god. But Nana doesn't have it."
"Because the Grand Worshipper and I have always been at odds, the only place in the entire Spirit Hall that can block his detection is here. That's why I brought you down here to ask."
Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I met a senior in Slaughter City. He should be a god-level powerhouse."
Bibi Dong let out a long sigh. "What a pity. According to what Rakshasa senior said earlier, she had a grudge against that Asura God. The other side probably won't pass the inheritance to you. Otherwise, in the future, once we master and disciple both become gods, who could stand in our way?"
So that was Bibi Dong's plan. Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Teacher, rest assured. Even without the Asura God's inheritance, I can still cultivate to the god level. Don't forget, I still have my mysterious inheritance."
Only then did Bibi Dong remember the mysterious inheritance Jiang Chen had mentioned before.
If Jiang Chen hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have sensed it at all.
But this Asura God aura, she felt it the moment she got close. That's why she pulled Jiang Chen down here for a detailed questioning.
She had sensed the same kind of aura on one other person: the Slaughter King of the Slaughter City.
"Since that's the case, then the teacher can rest easy. Let's go back up and talk."
It wasn't convenient here after all… She glanced at the Rakshasa statue but didn't say the rest out loud.
The master and disciple walked the long path back to the bedroom above.
The two sat down at the tea table. Bibi Dong brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Jiang Chen.
This was the highest-grade tribute tea in Spirit Hall, rich and mellow in aroma. Just one whiff made one's heart feel refreshed and relaxed.
"The teacher's skill is truly excellent. This tea is delicious." Jiang Chen tossed out a flattering compliment.
Bibi Dong seemed somewhat pleased. She gave Jiang Chen a sideways glance. "You brat, the older you get, the more glib your tongue becomes."
"Hehe, when describing Teacher, no amount of glibness is too much." Whether it was because of the tempering by killing intent, Jiang Chen's face had grown much thicker than before.
Bibi Dong shot Jiang Chen a look. Her pale pink, thin lips gently took a sip of tea before she slowly said, "You've already won Nana over, haven't you?"
Jiang Chen's body jolted. The teacup he had just picked up nearly slipped from his hand. He froze on the spot as if struck by heavenly lightning.
The cheeky grin from earlier froze on his face, looking somewhat comical.
Bibi Dong set down her teacup. Seemingly ignoring Jiang Chen's strange reaction, she calmly said, "Since you both like each other, you must never abandon her in the future, understand?"
Jiang Chen wiped nonexistent cold sweat from the back of his hand and hurriedly said, "Teacher, rest assured. I will treat Senior Sister well for the rest of my life. I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance. If I fail to do so, may I be struck by five heavenly thunders!"
Haven't you been struck by heavenly lightning enough times already… Bibi Dong rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Jiang Chen was a bit surprised. His teacher seemed to be getting younger in mindset.
Rolling her eyes was something that never would have happened with her before.
It didn't fit her mature, dignified, noble, and aloof image. But now, not only had her appearance become several years younger, her mindset had gained a touch of a young girl's charm.
"Then do you still think about Xue'er in your heart?" Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Chen with a smiling expression.
The teacher's smile was so beautiful, yet Jiang Chen sensed a chill within it.
"If I say yes, will she hit me? Or punish me? She hates unfaithful men the most, after all." These thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind in an instant.
But saying no would be a lie.
Jiang Chen steeled himself and said, "Teacher, I want both Senior Sister and Sister Xue'er. Is that okay?"
After saying this, he stared fixedly at Bibi Dong, afraid she might suddenly make a move.
He wasn't worried that Bibi Dong would kill him. Given their current master-disciple relationship, that was impossible.
But getting a good beating and a thorough "re-education" was still very possible.
Bibi Dong's smile grew even brighter as she continued, "If you had to choose just one of them, who would you pick?"
"Why is it another choice question again… I'm so screwed!" Jiang Chen felt miserable inside. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
After a moment, he finally said, "Teacher, I can't make that choice. Senior Sister and Xue'er are equally important to me. I won't give up either one."
Jiang Chen's tone was extremely firm. That determination moved Bibi Dong slightly.
Bibi Dong's smile became gentler. "Not bad. A teacher likes someone with courage like you. If you had weakly chosen just one earlier, I would have been disappointed in you."
"You are my most outstanding disciple. Besides you, who else is worthy of them?" She sighed inwardly.
"Then the teacher isn't opposed?" Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, his emotions surging.
Bibi Dong's expression turned serious. "Little Chen, I want you to swear an oath. In the future, you must not let down either one of them. Otherwise, the teacher will kill you without mercy."
Jiang Chen's face grew solemn. He sat up straight, gazing steadily at Bibi Dong.
"I, Jiang Chen, swear to the heavens: I will never let down Senior Sister or Xue'er. If I violate this, may I die a miserable death."
Bibi Dong's expression softened. "Teacher believes you."
Jiang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had passed this hurdle.
If Bibi Dong truly refused, he would probably have to board the train first and buy the ticket later, act first and report later, get her pregnant and then marry, that sort of thing.
"Haven't you always wanted to go to the Heaven Dou Empire? After tomorrow, you can go whenever you wish. Xue'er has much you can learn from. When you get there, be humble and learn from her, understand?"
"Understood." Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly.
Bibi Dong felt satisfied inside. She had long intended to train Jiang Chen into the next Pope.
Though Jiang Chen's cultivation talent was high, to become a qualified leader and ruler, imperial tactics and political skill were indispensable, and those were Qian Renxue's strengths.
That was why she agreed to let Jiang Chen go to the Heaven Dou Empire. It was also a test for him.
"Teacher, how is the plan for the Heaven Dou Empire progressing now?"
Since Bibi Dong was allowing him to go to the Heaven Dou Empire, Jiang Chen felt he now had the right to know about these high-level secrets.
"Do you know what Xue'er's mission is in the Heaven Dou Empire?" Bibi Dong asked.
"She never told me back then." Jiang Chen played dumb.
"Her mission is to seize the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire and take all its power into her own hands."
"Her current identity is the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. When you see her, you will naturally understand the current situation in the Heaven Dou Empire."
The master and disciple chatted for a while longer until late into the night before Jiang Chen finally bid farewell and left.
Hu Liena sat on her bed. She couldn't calm down to cultivate, nor could she fall asleep. She felt restless and irritated.
"Why hasn't Little Chen come back yet?"
"What does the teacher want with Little Chen?"
