Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 3 I will never be a love-struck fool!

Bibi Dong nodded, indicating that she understood.

Ghost chuckled and casually stood below the steps, waiting, wondering if the Pope had any other tasks.

Bibi Dong placed the paper on her lap and awkwardly tugged at her slippery robe.

Xia Yu, a level 27 Great Soul Master, is from the Star Luo Empire. Orphaned at the age of seven, he was taken in by the Spirit Hall.

'Martial Soul Sword, innate soul power level six (self-description), lazy and cowardly.'

Bibi Dong clicked her tongue. This investigation was utterly inhuman. She said, "How did you find out about this cowardice?"

Ghostly chuckled: "Your Majesty, it is said that Xia Yu has never gone out on a mission, and even when he sees a ten-year-old soul beast, his legs tremble with fear. Therefore, I wrote that he is a coward who is afraid of death."

Then, Ghost asked curiously, "May I ask why Your Majesty would investigate such a... uh, good-for-nothing?"

"do not know."

"what?"

Bibi Dong was speechless. She flipped to the next page, and it was no different from the ghost's evaluation. No wonder Hu Liena said that he was just a pretty face.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from outside the hall, and the ghost immediately stood up straight, adopting the air of a superior being.

Once inside the hall, Hu Liena and the other two quieted down. Xie Yue walked in the middle, while Yan and Hu Liena stood on either side, resembling guardians.

Upon seeing the ghostly figure shrouded in shadow, the three were initially surprised, then bowed to Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope! Greetings, Your Holiness the Ghost Douluo!"

Bibi Dong waved casually, indicating that there was no need for formalities, while Gui Mei remained silent, pretending to be a cold and aloof senior.

Compared to Yan and Xie Yue's respect, Hu Liena didn't care much. She already knew Gui Mei's character and naturally wouldn't be fooled by him.

To put it bluntly, he's just a pretentious person.

"Ghost, you can go now. I'm all done here."

"Yes."

The originally sinister voice was completely transformed into a male god-like bubble voice. Bibi Dong frowned, while Hu Liena almost burst out laughing.

The ghost remained motionless, its shadow gradually dissipating, and it vanished from the spot.

"This guy."

Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly, looking like a child despite her advanced age.

"Teacher, is there something you need from us?"

"I was looking for Xie Yue and Hu Liena, Yan, what brings you here too?"

Yan scratched his head and said, "I was just looking for Xie Yue and Nana to train with. Since you were looking for them, and I had nothing else to do, I came along."

He asked somewhat cautiously, "Your Holiness, shall I take my leave?"

Bibi Dong waved her hand and said, "In that case, you can stay here. I also have something I want to ask you."

"Yes!"

Bibi Dong used her soul power to hand two pieces of paper to Xie Yue. Xie Yue looked at the words on the paper in a daze, but suddenly became serious after seeing Xia Yu's name.

"Your Holiness, you summoned me to inquire about Xia Yu? Has he done something?"

Seeing Xie Yue suddenly become agitated, Bibi Dong stopped him from asking questions: "There is indeed a reason why I came to find you, but what can he do?"

Xie Yue then realized what she had said, took a step back, and said, "Nothing, what is it that you want to know about him?"

When Hu Liena heard the name Xia Yu, she remembered that he was her brother's mediocre friend.

Bibi Dong suppressed her doubts and asked, "I just want to ask what's so special about Xia Yu that makes someone like you approve of him."

Hearing this question, not only Hu Liena, but even Yan, who was idly playing with his fingers, became interested. They had all asked Xie Yue this question before. He was clearly an ordinary person who could never catch up with him in his entire life, yet he valued her so much.

Xie Yue was silent for a moment before continuing, "He's just my friend."

"That's all? What's your opinion of him?"

"A lazy but wonderful person can always tell you something new and interesting."

Bibi Dong nodded, her curiosity growing.

But judging from Xie Yue's appearance alone, she knew he wouldn't say much more. From Xie Yue's few words, she could roughly understand that there was something wrong with what the ghost was investigating.

"So what do you two think of Xia Yu? What kind of person is he?"

Hu Liena and Yan were still reading Xie Yue's jokes when they were suddenly called on, just like being caught daydreaming in class by the teacher.

"Ah, well, I haven't talked to him much, so I don't know much about him."

Yan stammered and rambled on.

"He's just a pretty face. I don't know why my brother values ​​him, but just based on his level 27 soul power, I know he's a piece of trash."

Hu Liena made a haughty declaration. She had always looked down on people weaker than her, let alone Xia Yu, whom she considered self-degrading and labeled.

"Ah."

Upon hearing the term "embroidered pillow," Bibi Dong began to believe in the future depicted in the simulator.

"Nana, I have a question for you."

Hu Liena smiled and nodded: "Please ask, teacher."

What kind of man do you like?

Bibi Dong thought of the simulation, where Hu Liena was first attracted to Tang San and then to Tang Yin. She really couldn't agree with Hu Liena's views on choosing a partner.

If you're attracted to whoever is better than you, what if you get scammed by a bad man?

"what?"

Hu Liena was stunned; she never expected her aloof papal teacher to ask such a question.

Xie Yue suppressed a laugh and glanced at Hu Liena a few times, while Yan was eager to know what kind of man Hu Liena liked.

"I like women who are close in age to me and better than me."

Yan's eyes widened upon hearing this. He met all the criteria, so why hadn't Hu Liena agreed to date him after pursuing her for so long?

“Except for Yan.”

Hu Liena added a sentence that made Yan completely withdrawn. Xie Yue gently patted Yan's shoulder, comforting the young man.

"What if the person you like is an enemy of the Spirit Hall?"

Bibi Dong pointed out the point she valued most: who knows who Tang Yin in the simulation is? If he is also a member of the Haotian Sect, how should Hu Liena choose?
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then shouted without hesitation.

"If the person I love is an enemy of the Spirit Hall, then I will kill him without hesitation! I am a child raised by the Spirit Hall, and this is my home!"

Bibi Dong slowly got up and took small steps down the steps. She approached Hu Liena, whose eyes were even brimming with tears from exertion, and gently stroked Hu Liena's cheek with her hand.

This was the disciple she valued most in her life; rather than a disciple, she was more like her daughter.

Bibi Dong spoke softly and gently, soothing Hu Liena's heart: "Then you must remember this well, Nana. The Spirit Hall is your eternal home, and that will never change."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena suddenly burst into tears, each tear falling in a steady stream. She would never forget this moment; it was the warmth that her second mother, Bibi Dong, had brought her.
