Jiang Xiaofeng helped Xie Yue up.
Xie Yue: "No need for that. We're the same age, and for a long time, we'll both be in the Spirit Hall. So, you're my friend, just like Nana and Yan are. Though this guy might have some issues with his head!"
Xie Yue couldn't help but laugh, even though she was trying to be serious.
Xie Yue: "Brother Feng, I'll talk to Yan. I promise he won't bother you again!"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "You're older than me, calling me Feng brother doesn't seem right."
Xie Yue: "I don't mind, so why should you? Besides, you're stronger than me, calling you Feng brother is only natural!"
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't insist. Though Xie Yue had no problem with her strength, after her family situation, she had matured a lot. She was a good choice for a friend.
Yue Guan sighed from the side: "Back in the day, me and the old ghost were just like this. I kind of miss that youthful feeling."
The carriage rolled on as Jiang Xiaofeng's thoughts drifted back to his previous life.
In his last life, because he had so many enemies, even as he slowly became stronger, no one would be his friend. The reason was simple: anyone associated with him was either killed or captured.
Until he broke through to the Tribulation stage and finally stood firm in that world. Unfortunately, the brilliance of his Excalibur and God-Slaying attracted old monsters of the Tribulation stage.
If only he had friends back then, maybe he wouldn't have ended up in such a hopeless situation, choosing mutual destruction.
Returning to the Papal Hall, Jiang Xiaofeng went to visit Hu Liena, and then entered seclusion mode.
Days passed, and another year had passed.
Now Jiang Xiaofeng was ten years old, but since he'd reached the Great Soul Master stage, his soul power increase wasn't as fast. He spent most of his time in the Papal Hall training or competing in the Spirit Hall Academy's arena.
Originally at level 21, Jiang Xiaofeng was now only at level 26. To others, his soul power growth was already quite fast, but for him, it felt too slow.
One day, while training in his room, Hu Liena excitedly knocked on the door.
Hu Liena: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, the teacher is back! She's back!"
Jiang Xiaofeng slowly opened his eyes.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "You've been gone for almost two years. Do you know how much I missed you? It's good to have you back!"
At this point, Jiang Xiaofeng was no longer the short, malnourished child he once was. Now, at ten years old, he had grown to about 1.5 meters tall.
Jiang Xiaofeng sighed, troubled. "I've grown so tall, now Bibi Dong probably won't hug me anymore. Why did I have to grow so fast? Damn it."
He opened the door, and Hu Liena, also ten years old, stood there. Because her Martial Spirit was the fox demon, Hu Liena had developed faster than other girls her age. She was already a delicate young girl.
Hu Liena's soul power was now level 22. Although her talent was not as high as Jiang Xiaofeng's, she was still more advanced than Xie Yue, who was at level 24.
Hu Liena was two years younger than Xie Yue, and despite two fewer years of training, she was only two levels behind Xie Yue. As time passed, she was soon going to surpass Xie Yue.
Hu Liena: "Let's go, we haven't seen the teacher in so long. I wonder how she's doing."
Hu Liena was excited: "Yes, it's been so long since we saw the teacher. Let's hurry!"
Because of Bibi Dong's return, the Papal Hall was more lively than usual, with many bishops and elders coming in.
Bishop 1: "Your Holiness, during your absence, we have followed your instructions and managed the Spirit Hall. There have been no issues."
Bishop 2: "Your Holiness, in these two years, we've accepted many elite disciples into the Spirit Hall. Here are the detailed records for your review."
Bishop 3: "Your Holiness, there's something urgent that happened while you were gone—Hu Liena's family was annihilated!"
The previously quiet Bibi Dong suddenly stood up, her face serious and slightly angry.
Bibi Dong: "What about Nana? How is she?"
Her voice was even more powerful than before, resonating with authority and the presence of someone at the top.
The elders and bishops bowed their heads in silence.
Yue Guan spoke: "Nana is fine. It's just that her family was killed. The Spirit Hall has investigated, but the evidence was destroyed midway, clearly done on purpose. We still haven't found out who did it."
Bibi Dong's expression darkened.
Bibi Dong: "Who dares harm even my disciple? Now that I'm back, I want a full investigation."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted, and all the bishops and elders lowered their heads again.
Qian Daoliu, a majestic figure, appeared in front of the angel statue in the Papal Hall.
Bibi Dong: "High Priest, what do you mean by this?"
Qian Daoliu: "What? You want to oppose me?"
Bibi Dong stomped her scepter, her aura directly clashing with Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong: "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Qian Daoliu was shocked internally. He could feel a divine power coming from Bibi Dong. Could it be that she had inherited the God's legacy during these two years?
Impossible. There were only three gods on the entire continent: the Angel God, Sea God, and the Shura God of Slaughter City. Bibi Dong was clearly not one of them. What kind of inheritance had she received?
Qian Daoliu: "You've improved quite a bit these two years."
Bibi Dong coldly responded: "That has nothing to do with you. If I say we investigate, then we investigate!"
Qian Daoliu sighed: "Do as you wish, but don't let the Spirit Hall be harmed, or I won't let this go easily!"
Bibi Dong: "Hmph!"
Qian Daoliu left in a domineering fashion, but it was clear that Bibi Dong had fully taken control of the Spirit Hall.
In fact, Bibi Dong had already inherited the legacy of the Rakshasa God. It was precisely because of this that she could hide her power and devour talents from the Angel Clan.
During these two years, Bibi Dong had been absent because she was entering a new stage of the Rakshasa God's legacy. When she returned, it meant she had completed the trial of this stage, and it had filled her body with a special divine power.
Bibi Dong: "Investigate the annihilation of Nana's family immediately!"
Bishops and Elders: "Yes, Your Holiness!"
At that moment, Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena entered the main hall.
Hu Liena: "Teacher! Teacher, you're finally back! Woo~~~"
Hu Liena rushed toward Bibi Dong, who had just been so imposing, now transformed into a gentle figure.
Bibi Dong lovingly patted Hu Liena's head.
Bibi Dong: "Nana, it's all my fault. I will definitely help you find the real culprit!"
Hu Liena, with tears in her eyes, nodded furiously. Seeing her teacher again was the hope she had been longing for.
Tonight, enjoy some mooncakes. What flavor do you like?
