Douluo: Reincarnation of Pineapple Blowing Snow, the Fruit Treasure returns!

After promoting the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's smile remained unchanged:
"Getting back to the main topic, after the speech, we will begin the awards ceremony for the participating students from each college. This is your moment of glory, and I hope you will cherish it."

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Their eyes held both anticipation for the upcoming awards ceremony and contemplation of the Spirit Hall's offer of a position.

As for Pineapple Snow, amidst the applause, the unease in his heart still lingered. Looking at Bibi Dong smiling on the stage, he felt that beneath this amiable facade, there seemed to be a deeper scheme hidden.

Lu Xiaoguo and Hua Ruyi remained immersed in their own world, oblivious to the subtle changes in the atmosphere around them, eagerly anticipating embarking on a new journey together after the ceremony.

The awards ceremony proceeded smoothly, and soon they arrived at the Spirit Hall Academy.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and the others stood at the front of the stage, their expressions filled with guilt and disappointment. Hu Liena lowered her head slightly, not daring to look Bibi Dong in the eye, and said in a choked voice:
"Your Holiness, we... failed to win the championship and have let you down."

Bibi Dong still wore a kind smile on her face. She waved her hand gently and said softly:
"Children, there's no need to blame yourselves so much. It's normal to win and lose in competitions, and your performance on the field has been excellent. One defeat is just a stepping stone on the road to growth, and there will be many more opportunities in the future."

Her words were like a gentle spring breeze, easing the guilt in Hu Liena and the others' hearts somewhat.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's gaze fell on Lu Xiaoguo. Lu Xiaoguo, however, remained calm and greeted Bibi Dong with a smile:
"His Majesty the Pope."

However, this time, Bibi Dong did not respond to him as usual. She just looked at him quietly, her eyes seemingly containing complex emotions that were hard to fathom.

Lu Xiaoguo felt a slight tightness in his chest, and his smile became a little stiff, but he quickly regained his composure.

Those around noticed the unusual occurrence and couldn't help but cast curious glances. Hu Liena and the others were even more puzzled, wondering why the Pope was treating Lu Xiaoguo this way. For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

After a brief silence, Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze and continued the award ceremony, but there was no response to Lu Xiaoguo.

But like a small stone, it stirred up ripples in everyone's hearts, making people unable to help but wonder what kind of unknown entanglement existed between Bibi Dong and Lu Xiaoguo.

The awards ceremony continued and soon arrived at Tianshui College. Shangguan Ziyi, Hua Ruyi, and Lihua Shi, three girls, walked forward gracefully, their expressions a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Bibi Dong looked at the three young and beautiful Soul Masters before her, her smile growing even more amiable. Her gaze swept over their faces in turn, and she exclaimed in admiration:

"The performance of the three of you on the field was truly impressive. Your teamwork was superb, and each of you used your soul skills perfectly, combining strength and gentleness, showcasing the unique style of Tianshui Academy."

Hua Ruyi blushed slightly and said shyly, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. We still have many shortcomings."

Bibi Dong gently shook her head, her eyes full of encouragement:
"There's no need to be modest. Being able to stand out among so many excellent colleges is enough to prove your strength. If you continue to work hard in the future, your future is limitless."

Shangguan Ziyi and Lihua Shi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with gratitude, and said in unison, "Thank you for your encouragement, Your Majesty. We will definitely work even harder."

The surrounding audience applauded, applauding the three girls' excellent performance on the field. The other team members from Tianshui Academy were filled with pride. (End of Chapter)
