153: Chapter 153 Are they mother and son?

Bibi Dong had just arrived at the Holy Sons Palace when she spotted a sneaky figure hunched over, slipping into the courtyard.

Hu Liena's small face was flushed as she glanced left and right, arriving at Su Wen's door with the look of a guilty thief.

The light was still on in her Senior Brother's room; she knew he was Cultivating in his room today.

“Nana, keep it up! Happiness is something you have to fight for yourself!”

Hu Liena clenched her pink fists.

She pumped herself up.

When they ate together today, Yanzi had almost lost all sense of shame.

It was one thing to keep piling food into Senior Brother's bowl,

But the look in her eyes when she watched him was completely undisguised.

She and her Senior Brother were childhood sweethearts.

How could she lose to some newcomer who dropped out of the sky?

Hu Liena raised her hand, about to knock.

Even if her Senior Brother didn't open the door,

She was going in anyway.

Just then, a puzzled voice suddenly rang out from behind her:

“Nana, it's so late and you're not sleeping. What are you doing here at your Senior Brother's place?”

“Teacher...”

Hu Liena's body trembled as she turned to look at Bibi Dong, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Her previous confidence vanished instantly, leaving only guilt in her eyes: “I... I came to see Senior Brother. I wanted to talk to him. Nana hasn't seen Senior Brother for many days...”

“I know you two share a close bond as fellow Disciples, but it is no longer appropriate at this hour. Go back.”

Bibi Dong spoke indifferently.

Hu Liena shrunk her neck.

She gave a small response and was about to leave, but as she passed Bibi Dong, she suddenly asked in confusion:

“Teacher, it's so late, what are you doing here?”

“I...”

Bibi Dong was equally guilty; her gaze was a bit unnatural, but her expression remained calm as she replied: “I'm out for a stroll, and stopped by to check on you two, master and Disciple.”

“Teacher, this time isn't very appropriate either, is it!” Hu Liena said cautiously.

Teacher was always monopolizing every night of Senior Brother's; she had long since had a problem with it.

“What, does your teacher need to report to you about what she does and when?”

Bibi Dong felt that Hu Liena was getting ahead of herself.

Was it because she hadn't disciplined her lately that she had forgotten her teacher's majesty?

“No, of course not!”

“Teacher, I'm going to rest now!”

Hu Liena bolted like a startled little rabbit.

Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to go in,

When she realized Hu Liena hadn't actually left, but was secretly watching from a distance.

Bibi Dong's willow-like brows furrowed.

In the past, Su Wen staying with her was always under the name of Cultivation.

But now, it wasn't quite right.

At this hour, the excuse of coming to Cultivate in the middle of the night wouldn't work.

If she stayed in the room for too long, Nana would likely start suspecting something.

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, then turned and left the Holy Sons Palace.

“Looks like I was overthinking!”

Hu Liena breathed a slight sigh of relief seeing her teacher leave.

She felt that in recent years,

The relationship between Teacher and Senior Brother had become very close.

They stayed together every night.

Even if it was for Cultivation, didn't Teacher have any privacy at night?

Moreover, the relationship between Teacher and Senior Brother during the day exceeded her imagination.

Hu Liena had some slight suspicions that her teacher's mindset was slowly changing... but looking at Bibi Dong's current state, she really was overthinking; Teacher was still that respectable teacher.

Hu Liena turned and left happily.

Inside the room, Ye Yuaner yawned, sensing that both auras outside had left.

A sense of satisfaction filled her heart as she hugged herself and drifted back to sleep... Spirit Hall's recent move to recall a large number of Spirit Masters naturally could not escape the eyes of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the various major Sects.

Spirit Hall had never made such a massive commotion before.

Even when they attacked the Clear Sky Sect, it was only the Spirit Masters within Spirit City and those from Heaven Dou who were outside.

For a time, panic spread through the two great Empires, and they sent out numerous spies to investigate exactly what Spirit Hall intended to do.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi listened to the reports from his subordinates, his brow furrowed deeply.

He waved his hand, and after the person left, he looked toward Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him.

“Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what is Bibi Dong trying to do?”

“She wouldn't be making a move against the Heaven Dou Empire, would she? A while ago, Xue Beng seemed to have offended her. Could those rumors actually be true?”

Bone Douluo sneered: “If that's the case, this woman is far too petty. She lacks the magnanimity of a Titled Douluo. So what if he looked at her a few extra times?”

“Uncle Sword, what do you think?”

“This situation is clearly abnormal.”

Ning Fengzhi asked Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo spoke: “Perhaps it isn't aimed at the Heaven Dou Empire; otherwise, she wouldn't have only recalled Spirit Masters at the level of Spirit Saint and above. We can only wait and see what Spirit Hall intends to do, but we must also be prepared to prevent a sneak attack on our Sect. Fengzhi, contact Yu Yuanzhen and Xue Ye first. We must prepare for the worst. No matter who they strike at, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold...”

The Crown Princes Mansion.

Xue Qinghe's fingers tightly gripped the message sent from Spirit City.

“That woman actually made such a massive commotion for the sake of her Disciple.”

“Does she want to slaughter every single Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest?”

Qian Renxue felt as if her heart had been squeezed.

This wasn't just a Disciple; he was practically her own son.

She even went as far as to threaten Grandfather's head.

Snake Lance Douluo and Thornblood Douluo glanced at each other.

Both were tactful enough to remain silent.

Regarding the matters in Spirit City,

They had heard a thing or two.

The current Young Lord clearly looked as if she had overturned a jar of vinegar.

“Heh, I'm quite curious now as to what good things Su Wen has on him.”

“To be worth being targeted by those Spirit Beasts!”

Qian Renxue looked at Snake Lance and Thorn Blood: “When you were in contact with him, did you not notice anything noteworthy about Su Wen?”

“This... it seems not!”

Seeing both of them staring at him, Snake Lance Douluo replied somewhat awkwardly.

“Crown Prince, His Majesty summons you!”

At this moment, a guard's respectful voice sounded from outside.

Qian Renxue knew it must be because of Spirit Hall's actions.

Spirit Hall's movements were too large this time; any power that had friction with Spirit Hall would surely be panicking.

Qian Renxue calmed her emotions and set off for the palace with the disguised Snake Lance and Thornblood Douluo.

At this moment, in the study of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Beng, who was kneeling on the floor, with a livid face.

“Your Majesty, Xue Beng has already apologized, and I have also offered compensation!”

“Your Majesty even sent a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone!”

“Bibi Dong shouldn't be making a move against us because of this matter!”

Prince Xue Xing's lips were almost worn out from talking, yet Emperor Xue Ye's expression remained dark and gloomy.

Xue Beng's legs were aching, but he still didn't dare to stand up.

“If it's not aimed at us... could it be aimed at the Star Luo Empire?”

“Or perhaps the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?”

Emperor Xue Ye snorted coldly. Prince Xue Xing didn't know what to say for a moment; he couldn't exactly say they might be specifically going to catch Tang Hao, could he? That would be far too much fanfare for one person!

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has arrived!”

“Let him in quickly!”

Hearing that Xue Qinghe had arrived, Emperor Xue Ye felt slightly comforted.

Both Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing saw the change in Emperor Xue Ye's expression.

Prince Xue Xing didn't react much, but Xue Beng clenched his fists tightly together.
