Chapter 71 Placing a spy in the Elders' Hall
The carriage carrying Ye Qifeng, Bibi Dong, and Nihuang sped back to Wuhun City, even faster than when they went to the Star Dou Great Forest.
It took less than half a day.
The carriage then entered Wuhun City through the east gate.
Back at the Spirit Hall, the carriage traveled smoothly all the way to the square in front of the Pope's Palace. After the three of them got off the carriage, someone quickly came to take it away.
It was already afternoon.
Bibi Dong looked at Ye Qifeng and said softly:
"Xiao Feng, you should go back to the Holy Son's Palace to rest for now."
"Now that you have awakened your martial soul and obtained your soul rings, officially becoming a soul master, it's time for you to go to the academy."
"Come to the Papal Palace again tomorrow morning to find your teacher. He will arrange for you to enroll in the Spirit Hall Academy."
"Okay, teacher!" Ye Qifeng nodded.
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she turned to face Nihuang and said with a meaningful look in her eyes:
"Nihuang, you should also go back to the Elder Hall. Keep a close eye on things there, and remember to let me know if anything happens."
"clear!"
Upon hearing this, Nihuang nodded solemnly; she understood what Bibi Dong meant.
Ye Qifeng silently watched the two exchanging glances, thinking that there must be some kind of agreement between them.
Nihuang had only recently been promoted to Elder of the Elder Hall, and Ye Qifeng guessed that she was probably one of Bibi Dong's people, or rather, Bibi Dong's spy planted in the Elder Hall.
Bibi Dong wanted to control the Spirit Hall as much as possible, and the Elder Hall was an absolutely indispensable entity.
If she wants to carry out her plan, she needs the Elders' Hall to be on her side.
Otherwise, her policies will be difficult to implement.
Although the Hall of Elders is above the Hall of Worship, which is under the control of Qian Daoliu, the Hall of Worship does not usually handle affairs.
Bibi Dong couldn't possibly command the Hall of Offerings, as that was Qian Daoliu's territory.
Starting with the elders is the best option.
Therefore, it is understandable that Bibi Dong would place people in the Elder Hall; her current situation requires her to do so.
Ye Qifeng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she flashed away and headed towards the Papal Palace.
It took her eight or nine days to help her disciple acquire a spirit ring. She also had an unknown amount of pent-up affairs from the Spirit Hall waiting for her to handle.
Bibi Dong should go and take a look first.
After Bibi Dong left, Nihuang breathed a soft sigh of relief, then looked at Ye Qifeng and said to him with a smile:
"Xiao Feng, your older sister is going back to the Elder Hall now. Remember to visit her when you have time."
"Yes, I will. Thank you for accompanying me on this trip, Ninth Sister."
Ye Qifeng returned her a smile.
He quite liked this older sister; she was clearly fiery inside and had a rather fiery personality, yet she always maintained an air of elegance and languor.
"It's not hard work, let's go."
Nihuang turned around and waved gracefully, then swayed her elegant figure as she walked towards the Elder Hall.
Ye Qifeng watched Nihuang's alluring figure depart, shook his head with a smile, and turned to walk back to his Holy Son Palace.
These past few days I've been busy in the Star Dou Great Forest, searching for soul beasts and hunting for soul rings.
After absorbing the spirit ring, they traveled and fought spirit beasts for a whole day.
Then, after another half-day carriage ride, they finally returned to Wuhun City.
I haven't taken a shower for several days.
Ye Qifeng glanced at his clothes; their former splendor was gone, replaced by mud stains and several holes from battles with soul beasts.
This made him look like a mud monkey.
At his current level, he cannot achieve what Bibi Dong and Nihuang do, where their soul power surrounds them, allowing them to remain spotless and fragrant even after several days without bathing.
He needs to go back and take a good shower first.
Back to the Temple of the Holy Son.
Ye Qifeng took a comfortable bath, ate the dinner brought by the maid, returned to his room, meditated for an hour, and then went to sleep.
After a busy week, I fell into a deep sleep as soon as I touched the bed.
…………
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong returned to the council hall.
Looking at the mountain of memorials piled up on the desk, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
"It's only been a few days, and there are already so many memorials!" Bibi Dong couldn't help but gasp.
"Sigh~~" Bibi Dong finally sighed helplessly.
The only thing I can do is to calm down and focus on handling government affairs.
This process lasted from the afternoon until midnight, and even dinner was just a few bites.
After affixing the papal seal to the last memorial, Bibi Dong yawned wearily.
"It's finally over!"
Even someone as strong as her couldn't help but feel exhausted and mentally drained after handling several days' worth of backlogged official business.
At this moment, the best thing to do is to take a nice bath. Bibi Dong misses her bathtub a little.
Bibi Dong stretched her back and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window in the hall.
The night outside the window was deep, and it was the middle of the night.
She murmured to herself:
"Xiao Feng should be asleep by now, right?"
It seems he's come up with a great idea.
A glint flashed in Bibi Dong's pale purple eyes. With a firm resolve, she swayed and vanished from the Papal Palace.
Before long, Bibi Dong arrived at the Holy Maiden Temple, where she once lived, which is now the Holy Son Temple.
She appeared silently in Ye Qifeng's bedroom.
Standing by the bed, I saw Ye Qifeng fast asleep.
For some reason, Bibi Dong suddenly felt a little flustered, and she didn't know if it was because of embarrassment.
But the gentle aura emanating from Ye Qifeng quickly calmed her emotions.
Ye Qifeng was already asleep, his fatigue from the past few days had put him into a deep sleep.
Looking at the peaceful and handsome face on the bed, for safety's sake, Bibi Dong stretched out her jade finger, condensed soul power at her fingertip, and then gently touched Ye Qifeng's forehead to ensure that he would not wake up at any time.
She then went to the wardrobe, opened it, and found that it was almost entirely filled with her clothes, with only a dozen or so hanging there, which were the clothes of Ye Qifeng's holy son.
Bibi Dong blushed slightly, quickly took out her underwear and a light purple silk nightgown, and went into the bathroom behind the screen. She closed the door and filled the bathtub with hot water.
She took off the clothes she had worn for days, and her fair, snow-white skin and curvaceous figure were suddenly exposed to the air, making her extremely alluring.
Such a beautiful scene, yet no one has the chance to appreciate it.
She slowly stepped into the bathtub. Bibi Dong exhaled a comfortable breath, finally able to enjoy her favorite bath. This was one of the few moments she could relax and enjoy herself.
It soaked for a full half hour.
Bibi Dongfang got out of the bathtub, ignoring the water droplets covering her body, and walked out naked. She reached for a towel and was about to wipe herself dry.
Suddenly, she froze.
