Chapter 30 Ren Xue
Chapter 30 Ren Xue
Chapter 30 Qian Renxue
Bibi Dong was shocked to hear that Qian Daoliu was actually going to hand over the papacy to her, and that the council of elders had already passed a resolution and even set a date for the coronation.
She looked up in surprise, her face filled with astonishment: "You actually intend to make me Pope?"
Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong, who had a surprised expression on her face, sighed softly, and said calmly:
"At this stage, you are the only one suitable to be the Pope."
"Now that I have chosen you, I will do my best to promote you to the position and pave the way for you. Just take office."
"The Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders won't say anything. As for those below the level of elders, it depends on your own ability to make them willingly submit to you."
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he changed his tone, his voice becoming slightly stern, and said:
"However, as I have said, there are conditions to my nomination of you as Pope."
"Besides what I told you last time."
"I also hope that you can handle the affairs of the Spirit Hall with utmost care and responsibility."
"The foundation of the Spirit Hall cannot be lost."
"As for the rest, as long as you don't cross the line, I won't interfere with you."
"You can rest assured about that."
"Okay!" Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly in agreement.
Qiandaoliu has already paved the way, made significant progress, and seems to have offered excessively favorable conditions.
She has no reason to be ungrateful at this moment.
Seeing that Bibi Dong had already nodded in agreement, Qian Daoliu continued:
"Also, in the early stages of your reign as Pope, the political affairs will be handled by Yue Guan and Gui Mei."
"As you know, these two are the elders of the previous pope's court. They are quite adept at handling political affairs, and they will gradually teach you. Once you are familiar with them, you will take over the political affairs. I hope you don't mind."
"After you take over the administration, Yue Guan and Gui Mei will serve as elders of the palace and assist you in handling the administration."
"If you're in a hurry, you can start participating in government affairs now."
After listening to Qian Daoliu's words, Bibi Dong pondered for a while and then rejected his suggestion to immediately participate in handling government affairs.
"No, let's wait until after the coronation," Bibi Dong said.
She still had things to do.
After completely absorbing Qian Xunji's body and soul, she finally completed the first trial of the Rakshasa God and began the Rakshasa inheritance.
Next, she needs time to change her cultivation method and prepare to open the Rakshasa Secret Realm and enter it to cultivate.
"Since that's the case, I've said what I needed to say. Just prepare yourself. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Having achieved his goal, Qian Daoliu left behind a message, bid farewell, and without waiting for Bibi Dong's reply, vanished from the Holy Maiden's Palace in a flash.
He wanted to return to the main hall to spend quality time with his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, and help her recover from the grief of losing her father as soon as possible.
Qian Daoliu did not want his granddaughter Qian Renxue to suffer any psychological trauma as a result.
During the month he was away from the temple.
Qian Renxue sensed the unusual atmosphere in the Spirit Hall, broke out of her cultivation state, and left the room.
She was then surprised to find that only she and the Third Master remained in the entire offering hall.
The whereabouts of the other worshippers are unknown.
Even Grandpa Qian Daoliu didn't know where he had gone.
The clever and quick-witted Qian Renxue soon realized that something serious had probably happened to the Spirit Hall.
Under her persistent questioning, the three temple servants who remained had no choice but to tell her the truth.
Upon learning of her father's untimely death, Qian Renxue was struck dumb, unable to accept the blow and immediately plunged into deep grief, crying for several days in a row.
No matter how much the three remaining servants tried to persuade and comfort them, it was to no avail.
Seeing Qian Renxue's condition worsening, the Third Elder was at a loss, feeling both worried and anxious.
Fortunately, Qian Daoliu returned in time, and the three elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With Qian Daoliu's careful comfort and companionship, Qian Renxue finally felt a little better.
…………
Offering Hall.
Qian Daoliu's figure appeared in the hall.
Sensing that Qian Daoliu had returned, Qian Renxue immediately ran out of the room and nestled into her grandfather's arms like a swallow in its mother's arms.
"grandfather!"
Qian Renxue tilted her head up and called out to Qian Daoliu affectionately in a soft, coquettish voice.
Upon seeing his granddaughter, Qian Daoliu's expression instantly softened and became kind.
Looking at his granddaughter Qian Renxue, who was only nine years old but already over 1.5 meters tall and graceful, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"Soul Masters in Douluo Continent always develop so quickly. I never imagined that Xiaoxue's body would grow so much at her age. It seems that it's time to teach her some things."
With a firm resolve, Qian Daoliu gently stroked Qian Renxue's long golden hair, a smile playing on his lips, and said:
"Xiaoxue, you've grown up now, you're a young lady. You can't hug and be so affectionate with Grandpa like that anymore."
"Not just Grandpa, but no other men either! As the saying goes, men and women should not touch each other; we must be careful. Do you understand?"
"Oh." Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately broke free from Qian Daoliu's embrace.
Anyway, Grandpa is always right, so she just needs to listen to him.
However, Qian Renxue still felt a little unhappy when she thought about how her grandfather had just left her alone in the ancestral hall again.
Then she took Qian Daoliu's hand and shook it, her little mouth pouting slightly, and asked him:
"Grandpa, where did you go just now?"
Hearing his granddaughter's question, Qian Daoliu sensed the unhappiness in her voice, and he patiently explained:
"Grandpa went to handle the affairs of the Spirit Hall. He just came back from the elders' meeting."
"Xiaoxue, as you know, the situation at the Spirit Hall is somewhat chaotic right now, and there are some things that Grandpa has to handle personally."
"The Spirit Hall's vast foundation will eventually be passed down to you, so your grandfather must protect it for you first."
"The purpose of this meeting is to determine the next pope."
Upon hearing that it was about the next pope, Qian Renxue thought of her deceased father again, and her expression suddenly became somewhat depressed.
She asked softly, "Has the candidate been chosen yet?"
"Hmm." Qian Daoliu nodded, wanting to pique his granddaughter's interest and divert her attention, he deliberately kept her in suspense, saying, "It's confirmed, Xiaoxue, guess who it is?"
Qian Renxue blinked. With her intelligence, how could she not guess?
Looking around the entire Spirit Hall, there are only three people suitable to ascend to the position of Pope: his grandfather, himself, and... that woman.
However, with his grandfather needing to worship angel statues, he had no time to handle political affairs, making it impossible for him to regain the position of Pope.
And I am still young.
He lacked qualifications, ability, and prestige, and was completely ignorant of political affairs.
Besides the thousand orthodox angel bloodlines.
Qian Renxue felt utterly worthless.
Naturally, it's impossible for him to become the Pope and take power over the Spirit Hall.
All that's left is that woman.
That is, her mother, the current saint—Bibidon.
She meets all the conditions, making her the most suitable choice to be the Pope.
