Mother Daughter Confrontation
Bibi Dong heard the way Qian Renxue addressed her, and even though she had prepared herself, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
But she was a wolf at heart, and she quickly adjusted her emotions. Glancing at Yun Ming and Ya Li, who were following closely behind, Bibi Dong spoke calmly.
"Congratulations on successfully completing your plan and taking the Heaven Dou Empire."
Qian Renxue retorted sharply.
"No need. No matter how much you congratulate me, the future ownership of the Heaven Dou Empire belongs to the Worship Hall, not the Pope Palace."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Bibi Dong frowned slightly and asked.
"What do you want?"
Qian Renxue had successfully taken the Heaven Dou Empire, so she now had the capital to challenge Bibi Dong. Moreover, their relationship as mother and daughter was extremely poor, so Bibi Dong was not surprised by Qian Renxue's attitude.
Hearing Bibi Dong's question, Qian Renxue sneered.
"Pope Your Majesty truly has a short memory!"
"Didn't I say it before? If you don't release the person, you can forget about getting the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Do you think I look like I'm joking!"
Looking at the serious expression on Qian Renxue's face, Bibi Dong was stunned. Was she crazy? She was going to turn against her for the sake of an insignificant old man. She glanced at Yun Ming behind Qian Renxue, beginning to speculate that the two had formed some kind of conspiracy; otherwise, there was no need for her to be so serious about a Yang Wushuang. Therefore, she could not let them have their way.
Bibi Dong said unhurriedly.
"I have already said that the man is dead. I have no way to hand over a dead person to you."
Regarding Bibi Dong's continued nonsense, Qian Renxue took an item from her Storage Soul Tool, tossed it to Bibi Dong, and said.
"You had better look at this clearly before answering my question, otherwise I cannot guarantee what will happen later."
Bibi Dong reached out and caught it, discovering that it was a token bearing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family Crest, and with the three characters 'Yu Xiaogang' written on the bottom, her expression changed uncontrollably.
Seeing Bibi Dong's reaction, Qian Renxue said flatly.
"It seems you recognize it. I told you! It is impossible for the Pope not to recognize this Yu Family ID Token."
Bibi Dong snapped back to reality, rushed in front of Qian Renxue in a somewhat frantic state, and grabbed her arms.
"What did you do to Xiaogang?"
Qian Renxue looked at the uncomposed Bibi Dong and responded bluntly.
"Nothing yet, but it's hard to say what will happen later."
Qian Renxue broke free from Bibi Dong and continued.
"I never expected that the always wise and mighty Pope would actually like trash like Yu Xiaogang. You really are a disgrace to our Martial Soul Hall!"
As a veteran love-struck brain, Bibi Dong could not accept Qian Renxue's mockery, but thinking that the situation had reversed and Yu Xiaogang was still in Qian Renxue's hands, Bibi Dong could only suppress her temper and grit her teeth.
"Speak, what do you want?"
Qian Renxue let out a 'hehe'.
"What I want depends on you! Now, can you answer me one more time: is Yang Wushuang still alive?"
With Yu Xiaogang in Qian Renxue's hands, what else could Bibi Dong say? She glanced at Yun Ming and said unwillingly.
"He is still alive."
Qian Renxue continued.
"So, you know what to do now."
Even with a hundred grievances, Bibi Dong had to suppress them.
"Someone come."
The Pope Palace attendants entered the hall to receive orders, and Bibi Dong instructed.
"Go to the East Three Prison and bring Yang Wushuang here."
The attendants took the order and left to retrieve the person from the prison. Bibi Dong then looked at Qian Renxue and said.
"I have already arranged for someone to fetch the person you want. What about Xiaogang?"
Looking at the anxious Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue felt even more disgusted.
You don't care much about your own daughter, but you are deeply concerned about some wild man. She, Qian Renxue, could not stand this insult, so she had to pay it back to Bibi Dong. Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong and said.
"Rest assured, once I see Yang Wushuang, I will naturally hand the person over to you. I am not like you, treating that piece of trash like a treasure. Besides wasting my food, he is useless to me; I don't care about him at all."
Hearing Qian Renxue slander Yu Xiaogang again and again, Bibi Dong could no longer take it and scolded angrily.
"Shut up! He is a senior in the martial soul world and a master of martial soul theory. How can a young lady like you be full of such vulgar and insulting words, showing such disrespect to your elders!"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue had no reaction, but Yun Ming, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
There were few people in the Pope Palace, so Yun Ming's mocking laughter was particularly obvious. Hearing this laughter, Bibi Dong's blood pressure surged, and she said furiously.
"Yun Ming! What are you laughing at? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Yun Ming tried to restrain his expression and spoke.
"No, nothing, I just remembered something happy, please continue."
Yun Ming reflected on himself; he shouldn't have viewed an abnormal person through a conventional lens. Furthermore, love makes people lose their Reason, and he shouldn't look down on the shallow perspective Bibi Dong had developed because of love.
But while Yun Ming said nothing, a massive jar of jealousy on the other side was about to speak up. Seeing Bibi Dong fly into a rage for Yu Xiaogang, Qian Renxue was almost crying with envy. Clearly, she was the biological daughter, yet from childhood to adulthood, she had only ever received cold glares from Bibi Dong—it was unfair! Since she couldn't have it, she would destroy it, destroy it all, starting with destroying Yu Xiaogang.
"Senior? A mere level twenty-something Soul Grand Master dares to call himself my senior?"
"To be honest, I really don't know what you see in that Yu Xiaogang."
"In terms of talent, he has none; in terms of strength, he has none; in terms of looks, he is plain; in terms of character, his character is questionable; in terms of willpower, his will is weak; in terms of reputation, he is notorious."
"To care so deeply for someone who is good for nothing, I really don't know if you are doing charity or what."
Not knowing what she was thinking, after Qian Renxue finished counting off Yu Xiaogang's inadequacies, she even compared him to Yun Ming.
"He doesn't even measure up to one ten-thousandth of Yun Ming."
Yun Ming, Ya Li: "..."
Ya Li was a bit angry; her senior sister was so ambitious that she was actually causing trouble right in front of her.
Hearing Qian Renxue's evaluation of Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong instinctively retorted.
"Xiaogang has noble character and superb wisdom; how dare you slander him!"
However, regarding Bibi Dong's statement, the three of them remained indifferent, all looking at Bibi Dong as if she were a fool.
She wanted to lash out and hit someone; if she didn't beat this girl Qian Renxue, she would turn the world upside down, but Qian Daoliu would certainly not allow it, so she had no chance. In the end, she could only cross her arms and sulk in silence.
Bibi Dong was driven mad by the gazes of the three and simply shut her mouth, while Qian Renxue, seeing that she had finally gained the upper hand in a confrontation with Bibi Dong, felt her depressed mood subside slightly.
I don't know how much time passed before the attendant who went to fetch the person returned, followed by a tall, lean figure. Sensing the faintly connected bloodline fluctuations, Yun Ming immediately knew who had arrived.
