"Oh? Then why are you still standing out here?"
As he spoke.
Qian Renjue had already arrived at the entrance of the Papal Hall.
Bishop Sigma looked pleadingly at the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo guarding the door.
Qian Renjue glanced at them.
Chrysanthemum Douluo elegantly bowed slightly.
"Your Highness, His Holiness the Pope instructed us to have some time alone."
"Is that so."
Qian Renjue's feathered brows twitched, and his eyes revealed a hint of doubt.
He turned his head, turned around, and raised his hand, saying, "Sigma, give me the documents in your hand."
"Your Highness."
Sigma immediately offered them with both hands.
As the Holy Son of the Papal Hall, and occasionally acting as Pope, no bishop or elder dared to disobey Qian Renjue.
Qian Renjue quickly opened and reviewed the documents.
Frowning, he took out his Holy Son golden seal and stamped it on them.
Sigma was used to this.
Now.
In the entire Spirit Hall.
There wasn't much difference between His Highness the Holy Son Qian Renjue and His Holiness the Pope.
It was hard to say whose words carried more weight.
They were almost on equal footing.
"I'll approve the funds you need first, and I hope they will all be used effectively."
"Every penny must be traceable."
As Qian Renjue spoke, he returned the documents to Sigma.
"Rest assured, Your Highness, I will handle it well."
Sigma immediately responded respectfully.
"Okay, go."
Qian Renjue waved his hand casually.
"Yes! Your subordinate takes his leave!"
Sigma bent over backward and retreated, not daring to be negligent.
He was absolutely convinced by Qian Renjue.
As a Soul Douluo, he could feel the increasing pressure emanating from Qian Renjue.
After Sigma left.
A warm smile bloomed on Qian Renjue's face as he greeted Chrysanthemum and Ghost.
"Grandpa Ghost, Sister Chrysanthemum, thank you for your hard work."
"Your Highness is too kind."
Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled and bowed slightly.
Ghost Douluo forced a slight smile. Being more meticulous, he softly reminded him:
"Your Highness, Ling Yuan was here earlier."
"Sister Ling Yuan?"
Qian Renjue was stunned, and his expression changed slightly.
————
Inside the Papal Hall.
Bibi Dong sat on the throne.
Her jade fingers massaged her brow, and her exquisite face was still flushed.
She cursed inwardly.
Had she known this would happen, she wouldn't have inquired so rashly!
How was she going to face Ling Yuan and Renjue in the future?
Da.
Slight footsteps echoed in the silent Papal Hall.
Bibi Dong immediately frowned. Her thoughts were muddled, and she didn't even raise her head.
She spoke out to reprimand:
"Didn't I say I wanted to be alone?!"
"Mom."
A familiar voice rang out.
Bibi Dong was stunned, and she raised her eyes to look towards the door, her face even redder.
"Renjue, you, why are you here?"
"Didn't I say before that I was going to prepare gifts for Mom, Elder Sister, and the Spirit Hall?"
A confident smile was on Qian Renjue's face.
He stepped onto the steps and walked up.
"Gifts?"
Bibi Dong thought about it.
It seemed like there was such a thing. Renjue kept mentioning it that night.
"Oh, right, Mom."
Qian Renjue was already standing beside Bibi Dong, and he explained:
"Bishop Sigma wanted to seek your approval for disaster relief funds, but I took care of it."
Bibi Dong came back to her senses.
She avoided Qian Renjue's gaze somewhat uncomfortably.
She nodded slightly and pushed out a piece of white paper.
"Renjue, write down the amount later so Mom can have a general idea."
"I will."
Qian Renjue looked at Bibi Dong in confusion.
Could it be that Sister Ling Yuan really told Mom something she shouldn't have?
Qian Renjue couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He wanted to run away.
Bibi Dong patted the spot beside her and urged, puzzled:
"Renjue, why are you standing? Sit with Mom."
"Okay, good."
Qian Renjue nodded lightly.
He sat beside Bibi Dong on the Pope's exclusive throne.
He noticed the figure sitting beside him.
Bibi Dong's breathing was slightly rapid, but it gradually subsided and calmed down.
She took a deep breath.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal.
As for Ling Yuan's surprise, she just had to pretend she didn't know!
Bibi Dong raised her eyes and glanced sideways.
Looking at Qian Renjue's face with a faint halo, she couldn't help but smile.
Bibi Dong was as usual.
She reached out her hands, hugged Qian Renjue's arm, and moved closer to him.
With Ling Yuan's warm-up.
Her pretty face couldn't help but show strangeness again.
Qian Renjue noticed the slight abnormality, lowered his eyes, and met Bibi Dong's gaze.
His eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.
Bibi Dong pursed her red lips and raised her beautiful face.
She said reproachfully:
"Why are you looking at Mom like that? Did Renjue do something wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Qian Renjue withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
He didn't do anything wrong, he just lost something else.
"Chi."
Bibi Dong raised her head and chuckled.
A little fragrant breeze and heat hit Qian Renjue's face, burning out more awkward redness.
Qian Renjue turned away.
He asked hesitantly, "Mom, why are you laughing for no reason?"
"Can't Mom be happy to see you?"
Bibi Dong smiled like a flower.
Looking at Renjue, who was even more embarrassed than her, the discomfort in her heart quickly dissipated.
Perhaps knowing wasn't a bad thing.
She could tease Renjue.
"Okay, of course, there's no problem."
Qian Renjue was helpless. He grasped Bibi Dong's jade hand placed on his heart.
It tickled a little.
"Ha, Renjue, tell me, what kind of gift are you going to give Mom?"
Bibi Dong leaned on Qian Renjue's shoulder.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
When talking about serious matters, Qian Renjue temporarily put those scraps behind him.
He gently squeezed Bibi Dong's jade hand and let go.
"It's a self-created soul skill."
"Another self-created soul skill?"
Bibi Dong sat up slightly, her eyes filled with surprise.
"Yes, I got it a few days ago."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
From the table in front of him, he took paper and pen and began to write on the paper.
Bibi Dong looked at the characters left by Qian Renjue.
In just a breath, her stunningly beautiful face changed dramatically and was filled with shock.
Her cherry mouth opened slightly, letting out a cry of surprise.
"This is... the Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer?!"
"Yes, it's the complete Great Sumeru Hammer, including the profound meaning... the Exploding Ring."
After receiving Qian Renjue's confirmation again.
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes became a little empty, and she stared blankly at her good son.
"Renjue, where did you get it?"
She had witnessed the Clear Sky Sect's Exploding Ring secret technique.
It had a high degree of compatibility with the Clear Sky Hammer, and the power it could unleash was extremely terrifying.
"Tang Hao."
The corners of Qian Renjue's mouth curled into a smile.
The pen in his hand danced more sharply, carrying a sense of arrogance.
He turned his head to look at Bibi Dong.
"How is it? Mom, are you satisfied with this gift?"
"Pfft."
Bibi Dong looked at the confident Qian Renjue and smiled.
Her eyes sparkled, and she opened her arms to give Qian Renjue a hug.
She said with a smile, "Satisfied, Mom is very satisfied. Mom likes anything Renjue gives her."
Bibi Dong listened to the heartbeat.
Sure enough.
Compared to the reserved and introverted Qian Renjue, she still preferred this high-spirited one.
Even the Pope couldn't help but want to rely on him.
I wish you all a happy life!
