12: Little Hu Liena (She's done it, please read on)

Wasn't the Saintesss Palace Bibi Dong's former residence?

Why did she bring him here?

Facing Su Wen's confusion...

Bibi Dong quickly provided the answer.

"You will stay here temporarily for now. If you have any problems with your cultivation, you can go directly to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to find me!"

"Familiarize yourself with this place first. See if there's anything you need to move over; you can arrange it as you like. Tomorrow, I will begin teaching you how to Cultivate!"

Su Wen understood and smiled brightly. "Teacher, can I go back whenever I want?"

Bibi Dong nodded. "You can... In a bit, you'll have a Junior Sister. I'll have someone bring her over to meet you so you two can get to know each other."

Having finished, Bibi Dong turned to walk outside. At the door, she suddenly stopped. "Do not tell anyone the age of your first spirit ring!"

"Understood, Teacher!"

Su Wen waved his hand.

After Bibi Dong left.

He stretched and, without a second thought, crawled onto the large bed in the room for a nap.

"Sen—Senior Brother!"

Su Wen opened his eyes.

At some point, a porcelain-doll-like figure had appeared by the bedside.

Her small face was flushed, and her hands nervously pinched the hem of her clothes as she stood obediently to the side.

Hu Liena had been brought by a maid to meet her Senior Brother.

The main door was wide open when she arrived.

She had walked straight in, not expecting her Senior Brother to be sleeping.

She wanted to leave.

But then she thought about how this was her teacher's instruction, and if her Senior Brother didn't see her...

He might think it was impolite.

So she waited quietly by his side.

When she saw that her Senior Brother was the big brother who had given her candy yesterday, the worry in Hu Liena's heart dissipated.

This big brother seemed easy to get along with; she wouldn't be bullied.

"Are you the Junior Sister?"

Su Wen scrambled up, feeling slightly embarrassed.

He jumped off the bed and sized her up from head to toe.

Hu Liena nodded, clutching the hem of her dress as she also looked at Su Wen cautiously.

Shy and timid, her pink lips parted slightly.

"Sen—Senior Brother, I'm Hu Liena. You can call me Nana..."

As Hu Liena spoke, she held out her small hand. In her palm was the candy from that day.

"Mm, Hu Liena, Nana... Senior Brother remembers you."

Su Wen took another piece of candy from his spirit tool, unwrapped it, and held it to Hu Liena's lips.

"Mwu~"

Hu Liena's face flushed as she cooperatively bit the candy.

Seeing her timid appearance, Su Wen knew that the current Hu Liena wasn't yet that confident Genius; she was just a little child who had recently left the orphanage.

Su Wen knew there was still time to set her on the right path.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Su Wen was tinkering with something in the courtyard.

As the morning sun rose, Hu Liena arrived in the courtyard right on time.

She had short orange hair and a petite face.

With a faint smile on her small face, she followed closely behind Su Wen.

"Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

"Nana, wait a moment. I'm almost finished!"

"Mm."

Hu Liena nodded obediently.

"Done!"

After a brief quarter-hour, Su Wen clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Nana, today Senior Brother wants you to know our two sect rules!"

Su Wen suddenly wiped the smile from his face. His expression became solemn and his voice serious, completely devoid of his previous gentleness.

"Nana will remember them carefully."

Hu Liena tensed up and quickly clenched her small hands, her youthful face filled with seriousness.

"Mm. The first rule of our sect is loyalty!"

"Nana will be loyal to Spirit Hall!"

"No, no. You only need to be loyal to Teacher and loyal to Senior Brother!"

"Nana... Nana understands!"

"Just remembering it isn't enough. Write 'Loyal to Senior Brother' a hundred times every night. You must make it a habit!"

"Na—Nana will write it tonight!"

Su Wen nodded with satisfaction and held up his index finger. "The second rule for entry: Nana, you must remember our sect's enemies!"

"Enemies?"

"Correct. Anyone holding a hammer is a bad person, especially that guy named Tang Yin with the blue hair."

"Senior Brother, is it this clay figure you made?"

Hu Liena saw that the clay figure in front of her was holding a hammer.

Su Wen didn't reply.

He suddenly thought about how Tang San's blue hair was inextricably linked to the Blue Silver King.

He could totally find the Blue Silver King one step ahead of him.

Jie jie jie!

I really am a bad person!

In the shadows, Bibi Dong's expression was quite colorful. This brat was actually setting private sect rules.

However, these rules happened to suit her tastes.

Since she had become the Supreme Pontiff, the Clear Sky Sect was indeed Spirit Hall's greatest enemy.

It was just that she didn't know this Tang Yin, nor had she heard of such a person. Why did Su Wen want Nana to remember him specifically?

Bibi Dong walked into the courtyard. "Hehe, it seems you two are getting along well!"

"Teacher!"

Hu Liena's eyes lit up when she saw Bibi Dong. She walked up and bowed respectfully, her voice timid. "Nana has remembered all the sect rules, Teacher. Nana will definitely keep them in mind!"

Bibi Dong: "..."

Su Wen: "..."

"Ahem, Teacher, do you know about the Blue Silver Forest?"

Su Wen hurriedly changed the subject.

Bibi Dong's pink lips parted slightly. "The Blue Silver Forest is located on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, among the branch mountain ranges of the Star Dou Mountains. You are still far from Rank 20, and the Blue Silver Forest is full of plant-type Spirit Beasts. It might not be suitable for your second spirit ring."

Su Wen silently noted the location. He would have Aunt Ye fly him there later.

"Alright, today Teacher will teach you your first lesson: understanding the most basic knowledge of Spirits."

Bibi Dong cleared her throat and began explaining the types of Spirits and Spirit Beasts.

This sort of thing could have been delegated to someone else.

But Bibi Dong felt it was better to do it personally.

These two little ones were young.

This was also the easiest time to build an emotional bond.

Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Bibi Dong had accepted the sect rules he had privately set.

He listened intently; knowledge of Spirits was very important.

Aunt Ye's usual explanations weren't bad either, but everyone's insights were different.

Upon hearing that Beast Spirits could only possess the body, Su Wen asked curiously, "Teacher, what category does my Spirit belong to?"

"A special category, I suppose!"

Bibi Dong knew that only three people on the continent possessed humanoid Spirits.

The first was the Qian family's Seraphim, and the next was this little guy's Wedding Dress Ghost Emperor Martial Soul.

"Teacher, can I use Spirit Possession?"

"It should be possible. Currently, only Beast Spirits can achieve Spirit Possession, but there is one type of Spirit that is an exception—the special category. You can give it a try."

Hearing this.

Su Wen summoned his Spirit, and along with the appearance of the Wedding Dress Ghost Emperor...

A gust of yin wind blew into the courtyard.

Hu Liena's small frame couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at that Spirit dressed in blood-like wedding robes, Hu Liena's mouth hung wide open.

She hadn't expected her Senior Brother's Spirit to look so poignantly beautiful!

"Spirit Possession!"

Buzz!

A wave of dark red power radiated from the Spirit's body.

Wherever the red power passed, the surrounding buildings and the ground were draped in a layer of festive red carpets and lanterns.

Ghost Souls emerged from the ground one by one, letting out shrill, mournful cries.

The Spirit's figure also rapidly expanded at this moment.
