Chapter 112 Successful Retirement, Reactions from All Sides

"Your Majesty, is Bing'er's condition serious?"

Su Rou remained silent for a while, then looked up at Guang Ling as if she had made a decision.

Guangling glanced at her, smiled, and then said, "It's hard to say. Maybe she'll gradually be able to control herself. Hmm, so many years have passed, and nothing's happened, right?"

Hearing Guangling's reassuring words, the group became even more panicked.

"I wonder if Your Majesty's previous statement about accepting disciples on behalf of your brother still counts?"

Su Rou knew the situation was different, so she gritted her teeth and took the initiative to ask.

Well...

Guangling hesitated for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, and did not answer directly.

"Tianshui Academy is willing to follow the lead of the Spirit Hall from now on."

Just as Guangling hesitated, Su Rou spoke up again, pulling the three people beside her to bow decisively.

"What are you doing? Are you threatening me?"

Seeing them bow, Guangling showed a displeased expression.

"I dare not. Su Rou sincerely joined the Spirit Hall. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

She adopted the most humble posture, afraid of angering Guangling.

"Sigh, I've already told you I didn't come here because of this. You're putting me in a difficult position."

Standing behind Guang Ling, Han Li almost lost his composure as he listened to his master's standard villainous speech.

"Master, please stop acting. If you continue, once your senior master accepts a disciple, you and Shui Bing'er won't be able to get along anymore."

A barely perceptible mental fluctuation entered Guangling's mind, causing him to freeze for a moment. He turned back to look at his disciple with displeasure, seemingly annoyed that his performance had been interrupted.

However, after Han Li's reminder, he restrained himself a bit, looked at the people bowing in front of him, and said, "Alright, get up. I, Guang Ling, always keep my word. If I say I will take on a disciple on behalf of my brother, I will never go back on my word."

Seeing the others get up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He spoke again: "However, since you have all said you want to join the Spirit Hall, then I accept it. I really didn't intend to do this before. From today onwards, Tianshui Academy will be a subordinate academy of the Spirit Hall."

Su Rou and the other beautiful woman's faces darkened slightly.

Guangling glanced at the two of them, then said breathlessly, "However, although you have joined the Spirit Hall, to be honest, the Spirit Hall doesn't need another subordinate academy like yours. So, don't worry, you still have considerable autonomy and independence."

"The Spirit Hall will not interfere in any of your affairs. Things will remain the same as before. All you need to do is clearly stand on the side of the Spirit Hall when expressing your stance."

"Of course, I don't want to see a situation where the academy is more powerful than the Spirit Hall in a city again, understand?"

When this was mentioned, Guangling unconsciously emphasized her words slightly.

Su Rou and the beautiful woman exchanged a glance, both noticing the surprise in each other's eyes. They hadn't expected such lenient terms and immediately bowed, saying, "Understood, Your Excellency."

"Yes, very good."

Guangling nodded in satisfaction.

"Also, now that Shui Bing'er has become my brother's disciple, I'll give you a heads-up: once we return to Wuhun City and she officially becomes his disciple, we will immediately begin to address her Wuhun issue."

"And once the issue of her martial soul is resolved, her minimum achievement will be a Super Douluo. I can assure you of that. So, do you have any further questions?"

Guangling sat up straight, a smile on her face, her previous aggressive demeanor gone.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Just as Guangling was about to get up, a weak voice suddenly came from the side: "Your Majesty, does Bing'er have to leave with you today? Can we postpone it for a few more days?"

Following the sound, Guangling and Hanli discovered that the one who asked the question was Shuiyue'er, who had been relatively unknown.

Guangling paused for a moment, then smiled:

"No need. Since you've already agreed, it doesn't have to be today."

After speaking, he paused for a moment before adding:

"How about we give you a week? She can leave with us after a week."

Unexpectedly, Shui Yue'er's words brought an unexpected surprise, and the group quickly expressed their gratitude.

Seeing the four women smile again, Guangling and Han Li exchanged a glance and decisively chose to leave.

Only after being respectfully escorted out of the manor did Han Li look at his master.

"Master, if her martial spirit didn't accidentally go out of control, and they still disagree, what would you do?"

Guangling rolled her eyes at him: "Then just leave. What else can we do? They're a neutral force, not an enemy force. This isn't an open war. Do you think I'd massacre the manor? Only an idiot would do that."

"As long as they know that there are two Super Douluo watching them, they will eventually agree even if we do nothing. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan also wants to slowly annex them; as long as they're not stupid, they definitely won't dare to jump out now."

"That idiot Bibi Dong overlooked this point, which is why she got dragged into the mire. She played childish games like power struggles with them, which only lowered her own status. Ha, the Three Upper Sects, no matter how nicely they put it, this whole thing was deliberately created by us to incite infighting among those sects. And she actually believed it. Isn't she stupid?"

"Believe it or not, she actually just sends Little Chrysanthemums out and throws them into various elemental academies. They just show up every now and then and don't have to do anything. If they haven't returned to the Spirit Hall in six months, I'll change my mind."

Han Li chuckled to himself. Although Guang Ling's words were unpleasant to hear, they were indeed true.

His thinking was previously limited by the so-called superficial situation, just like Bibi Dong's. He was one of the fools she mentioned. Fortunately, he had his master to teach him by example and he woke up in time.

As for when Bibi Dong will realize what's happening, that's up to her.

After the matter was over, the master and apprentice went directly to the Spirit Hall.

Han Li went to cultivate, while Guang Ling went to deal with the subsequent reforms of the Spirit Hall after Tianshui Academy joined.

This time, the Papal Palace has truly intervened directly in matters concerning the Papal Palace.

Seven days passed quickly.

With the active cooperation of Tianshui Academy, the Spirit Hall regained control of the city and even placed this city, which had been somewhat separated from the Heaven Dou Empire, directly under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall.

Various rumors circulated widely, but after learning that it was a Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall who had directly taken action, all parties kept quiet. Even their former employer, the Heaven Dou Empire, did not dare to inquire and acted as if nothing had happened.

On the contrary, Wuhun City kept sending messages through emergency contact to inquire about what was going on.

As a result, Guangling ignored them completely and threw all the messages into the trash can. He wasn't going to argue with a fool.

On the morning of the eighth day, a luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the Spirit Hall.

After making its way to the Shui family manor, the carriage swaggered out of the city, right under the watchful eyes of spies from various factions, heading straight towards Wuhun City.
