What surprised Yun Yi was that Qian Renxue actually kissed him on her own initiative. Yun Yi also embraced the beauty in front of him into his arms. The next second, pain came from the tip of his tongue, and a hint of bloody taste bloomed in Yun Yi's mouth. Yun Yi still did not let go of the culprit in his arms, but just closed his sense of pain and taste.
At some point, a crystal tear streaked across her face, and Yun Yi also felt the coldness in the crystal. The two slowly separated, looking at the crystal tear marks on Qian Renxue's face. Feeling distressed, Yun Yi gently wiped them away and said softly, "Can you tell me what happened, Xue'er."
Hearing Yun Yi's changed way of addressing her, Qian Renxue was delighted, but she still turned away stubbornly and ignored Yun Yi.
Seeing that Qian Renxue remained silent for a long time, Yun Yi didn't want to force Qian Renxue to say anything.
"Wait a minute, accompany me to see my sister. My sister wants to see you." Yun Yi said softly to Qian Renxue.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, who didn't want to pay attention to Yun Yi, immediately nodded towards Yun Yi.
Yun Yi smiled at the beauty in his arms. Qian Renxue felt a little embarrassed and blushed. She pushed Yun Yi away and said, "Don't smile at me. Remember, I just gave it back to you. There is no relationship between us."
Yun Yi knew in his heart that although the relationship between people would not change because of a word spoken in anger, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard Qian Renxue's words.
Seeing the disappointment on Yun Yi's face, Qian Renxue's eyes wandered. Yun Yi whispered, "If you can give up on them, I can give you a chance."
Yun Yi looked at Qian Renxue and sighed slightly. He suddenly realized that the root cause of Qian Renxue's abnormality just now might be this.
Hearing Yun Yi's slight sigh, Qian Renxue couldn't help but reveal a look of grievance and loss on her face.
Yun Yi tried to hold Qian Renxue's slender hand but was pushed away by Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er, do you understand how precious feelings are?" Yun Yi asked softly.
Qian Renxue did not answer Yun Yi's question, but said to Yun Yi, "What kind of feelings are these? I think they are just an excuse for you to satisfy your desires."
Yun Yi nodded and said, "I admit that. Everyone has desires, just like when I see the beautiful you, but desires and feelings are not in conflict. But I will not use the feelings I already have to exchange my new desires. Do you understand? Xue'er, not everything can be operated like an exchange of interests. If I say that I can give up them, but I want you to sever all ties with the chief priest and sister, do you think this is possible?"
Qian Renxue fell silent after hearing this.
After a while, Qian Renxue slowly said, "Are they that important to you?"
Yun Yi nodded seriously and said, "Of course, in my heart they are not only partners but also family members."
"What about me?" Qian Renxue asked Yun Yi.
"You can also become our family, but I will not allow anyone to break up my family, even if that person is you." Yun Yi said softly.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue looked at Yun Yi hatefully and shouted at him, "I don't care!"
Then, he pushed Yun Yi away and ran out the door.
Seeing this, Yun Yi did not stop her, but just shouted at Qian Renxue's back, "Where are you going? You have to go to your sister's place soon."
The departing figure paused, without any response, and then slipped away.
Hearing this, Yun Yi did not chase after him, but just looked helpless. He understood that the character he had developed over the years would not change because of one or two words from him, and even if it could be changed, it would take some time.
As time passed, the sun gradually set. Yun Yi looked at the sunset outside the window and sighed slightly. The food in the lunch box had already been eaten by Yun Yi.
Seeing that Qian Renxue showed no sign of returning, Yun Yi could only slowly stand up and head towards the Pope's Palace on the way down the mountain. Bibi Dong was still waiting for him there.
Not long after Yun Yi left, Qian Renxue appeared in the room with a complicated expression. Looking at the empty food box on the table, Qian Renxue couldn't help but curl her lips and said to herself, "Eat, eat, eat until you die!"
On the other side, as soon as Yun Yi stepped into the Pope's Palace, he saw Bibi Dong standing in front of the square waiting.
Seeing Yun Yi coming alone, a hint of disappointment flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes.
"What? She doesn't want to see me?" Bibi Dong asked Yun Yi softly.
Yun Yi shook his head, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Xue'er wanted to see you very much, but because of me, I ruined your good fortune."
Bibi Dong's pupils shrank slightly when she heard this. Yun Yi's way of addressing Qian Renxue had changed. She of course understood what it meant.
After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong seemed to have prepared herself mentally, and asked Yun Yi softly, "Do you like Xue'er?"
Yun Yi nodded, and Qian Renxue's figure appeared in his mind. He sighed softly, "Of course, sister, no one should dislike a woman like Xue'er, but angels are proud. It is an honor to be favored by angels, so how can I share it with mortals?"
Bibi Dong looked at Yun Yi and snorted coldly, "You are quite self-aware."
After saying this, Bibi Dong felt a little relieved. Fortunately, her daughter was just like her and did not like Yun Yi's philandering character.
Yun Yi looked at Bibi Dong and smiled, "It seems like my sister doesn't want Xue'er and I to be together."
"Of course, you already have Nana, and you don't want to catch my only relative as well." Bibi Dong looked at Yun Yi unhappily.
"I hope that my sister and I can become a real family." Yun Yi looked at Bibi Dong and smiled.
If someone else was here, they would be extremely terrified after hearing Yun Yi's words. Perhaps Yun Yi was the only one in the entire Spirit Hall who dared to speak like this in front of Bibi Dong.
Hearing the flattering tone in Yun Yi's words, Bibi Dong did not get angry. Instead, she slightly curled the corners of her mouth. Even she had to admit that Yun Yi was indeed very popular with women.
"Well, instead of flattering me, you might as well go find that old guy Qian Daoliu. His words are much more effective than mine." Bibi Dong revealed a hint of resentment as she spoke.
"Sister, don't you have any objection?" Yun Yi looked at Bibi Dong and chuckled.
Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "Objection? True feelings will not change because of what others say. I can't stop you from going any further in the future. Although I don't like your fickle character, I am impressed by your rejection of Xue'er for them today. I am not worried about Xue'er, because you both have outstanding talents and will reach the same end. In comparison, I am more worried about my poor disciple."
Others may not understand the deeper meaning of Bibi Dong's words, but Yun Yi, who has read the original novel, certainly understands what Bibi Dong means.
Yun Yi also pretended not to know, "Everyone is very talented."
Bibi Dong shook her head slightly and said, "You will understand it naturally in the future. Okay, let's go back."
Hearing this, Yun Yi bowed slightly towards Bibi Dong and said, "Then you should also go to bed early."
After saying that, Yun Yi also turned and left. Looking at Yun Yi's back, Bibi Dong also had a look of emotion on her face. Just as she said at the beginning, Yun Yi always brought her surprises every time he met her.
Although Bibi Dong despised Yun Yi and was even a little dissatisfied with him when she first heard the news today, she thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion that it would be best for her daughter to follow Yun Yi.
First of all, it is extremely difficult for a person to catch Qian Renxue's eye, but Yun Yi happens to be this person. Yun Yi's fighting ability can even crush Qian Renxue. Bibi Dong has reason to believe that Yun Yi, like herself and Qian Renxue, has the opportunity to get a glimpse of the realm of becoming a god at level 100.
Secondly, Yun Yi can become a bridge of communication between mother and daughter, and even a bridge between the Pope's Palace and the Worship Palace. Yun Yi does have such influence now. Needless to say, she has sent her own apprentice out and naturally fully supports Yun Yi. As for the Worship Palace, Bibi Dong can see that Yun Yi is living like a fish in water there.
Finally, it is the happiness of his own daughter. Although Qian Renxue might suffer some grievances following Yun Yi with her personality, but from the perspective of his own apprentice, Yun Yi is absolutely impeccable to them.
"Although pride is not a good thing, the person I chose is indeed..."
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong showed a complicated expression, and some of the past events replayed in her mind.
"If I hadn't chosen Xiaogang, perhaps..."
Bibi Dong stood alone in the square in front of the Pope's Palace, watching the setting sun and sighing slightly.
Just as Bibi Dong was reminiscing about the past, a strange yet familiar voice brought her back to her senses.
"mom, Mom, Mom."
Bibi Dong came back to her senses and saw Qian Renxue walking towards her slowly. She seemed a little embarrassed and her steps were not very fast.
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue with a complicated expression, the past still echoing in her mind. She turned her body slightly and looked into the distance as if she was afraid to look her in the eye.
Qian Renxue was dazed for a moment when looking at Bibi Dong, and stood not far away from her, not knowing what to do.
"Mother……"
Qian Renxue's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of angering Bibi Dong. It's not that she didn't shout before, but what she got in return was Bibi Dong's violent soul power that blew her away.
Bibi Dong seemed to be ready. She took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Qian Renxue in front of her. She raised her hand and brushed across her slightly red eyes. "Here you are, Xue'er."
Looking at the woman in front of her, Qian Renxue's heart ached and she threw herself into Bibi Dong's arms, "Mom... I'm sorry..."
Hearing Bibi Dong's call, Qian Renxue buried her head in Bibi Dong's arms. Bibi Dong felt the coolness in her arms, and hugged Qian Renxue tighter, letting Qian Renxue's tears soak into her clothes.
Bibi Dong gently brushed Qian Renxue's long golden hair, patted her on the back, and sighed, "You know everything."
"I know... I know everything... Xue'er knows everything..." Qian Renxue sobbed in Bibi Dong's arms.
"Mom was still young at that time. I hope you can forgive her..."
Qian Renxue nodded with tears in her eyes when she heard that.
The two did not dwell too much on this matter, because they both knew what this matter meant to each other.
The mother and daughter looked at each other. Bibi Dong looked at the tears on Qian Renxue's face and raised her hand to gently brush across her face.
"You followed Xiaoyi all the way here, right? Mom also heard what Xiaoyi said just now..." Bibi Dong said softly.
Qian Renxue felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, "What else can he say? It's just some flattering words."
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue and nodded unexpectedly. She chuckled and said, "Well, not bad. It seems that you know him well."
"Mom..." Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay... Mom won't say anything more. But Xue'er, Mom still wants to remind you. Of course, this is just Mom's personal suggestion. It's up to you to decide." Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue and said softly.
"Mom, tell me." Qian Renxue asked with some confusion.
"Xue'er, to be fair, mom doesn't like Xiaoyi, that playboy. However, mom thinks that there are only two criteria in choosing a partner: liking him and being suitable for him. The only one who can barely meet these two criteria is that boy. You should understand what mom means." Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue and said softly.
"Who likes him?" Qian Renxue retorted with a red face and turned her head away.
Bibi Dong gently rubbed Qian Renxue's head and said softly, "Mom is not asking you to make a choice now, but I hope you don't miss your own happiness. It's not easy to have both love and suitability. Xue'er, mom doesn't have such good luck as you. Although I like you, it's not suitable for you."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue showed a trace of disappointment on her face and said, "Mom, I'm sorry."
"Silly child, what happened in the past has nothing to do with you. So many years have passed, and mom has figured out a lot of things. In fact, I am not without responsibility. Mom is very happy to see that you have made a choice that you like and is suitable for you today." Bibi Dong said softly.
"But..." Qian Renxue looked hesitant. Thinking that Yun Yi had gone back to accompany other women, Qian Renxue even felt a little jealous.
"Whether you accept Xiaoyi or not, Mom supports you." Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue and said softly.
"I thought you were bribed by him, too."
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that I am not the only one who thinks so. Your grandfather, the old guy, thinks so too."
"Mom..." Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong in reproach.
Bibi Dong certainly understood Qian Renxue's meaning, but how could she possibly respect that old man Qian Daoliu?
"Okay, it's getting late. Go back and rest. You've wasted so many years. Follow your grandfather and practice well." Bibi Dong whispered to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue nodded slightly but did not leave, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"What? Is there anything else?" Bibi Dong asked puzzledly.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong and said seriously, "Mom, I want to know what you would choose if you were me?"
Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "Xue'er, there is no if. If you really couldn't accept the other children around Xiaoyi, you wouldn't have liked Xiaoyi at all. You fell in love with Xiaoyi even though you knew that Xiaoyi had so many other women. In fact, your heart has already made a choice."
Qian Renxue had a complicated expression when she heard this, nodded slightly, and then turned and left. (End of this chapter)
