170: Chapter 170 The Conflict Between the Papal Palace and the Sanctuary

Ye Yuaner's hair was soft and smooth; a gentle stroke would release a light fragrance.

Her enchanting figure could easily trace a perfect curve.

In terms of physique alone, she was already perfect to the extreme.

"Xiao Wen, I need to teach you the ways of the world."

"People say parents are a child's first teachers, but since they aren't here, today I will teach you... about life."

Walking out of the bathroom, Ye Yuaner grabbed Su Wen, her tone very serious.

But if one looked closely, her ears were tinged with a faint, rosy blush.

"Come, brush my hair first!"

Ye Yuaner sat in front of the mirror and gestured for Su Wen to come over and start.

"Actually, there's no need to teach..."

Su Wen picked up the comb and began to gently arrange her hair.

He didn't forget to mutter softly under his breath.

"Hmm?"

Ye Yuaner's willow-leaf brows arched slightly.

"It's nothing!"

Su Wen smiled and continued combing carefully.

Suddenly, he leaned toward her ear, looking at the Ye Yuaner in the mirror and breathing softly:

"So beautiful!"

Ye Yuaner heard this.

Her ears felt hot.

A numb, tingling sensation swept through her entire body.

"Can I?"

She gave a soft hum.

Her expression held a hint of charm.

Sensing the person in front of her drawing closer,

she instinctively closed her eyes.

After a long while,

their lips parted.

Su Wen began the main business.

Ye Yuaner's mind was a bit dazed.

She didn't even know what she was doing.

By the time she snapped out of it,

she was on the chair.

She was startled at first.

Wait, this isn't right.

She was supposed to be the teacher.

She had prepared plenty of knowledge, but now none of it had been put to use.

Ye Yuaner felt things were getting a bit out of control.

She suddenly felt like a general who only knew how to talk on paper.

Like someone who studied many battle formations and thought they were great, only to become the passive party on the battlefield, finding that what they learned before was completely useless.

"Mmm!"

Ye Yuaner's cheeks were slightly red as she gently stroked the back of Su Wen's head.

"How old are you?"

"Just like a child!"

Ye Yuaner gave him a playful slap and pointed toward the couch.

Lying there,

Ye Yuaner reached out to stroke Su Wen's cheek.

Xiao Wen had really grown up.

Some things no longer needed to be taught.

Thinking of her deceased best friend,

her heart was filled with pride.

She had personally taken her friend's son

and was about to raise him into a fine man.

She believed that if her friend knew,

she would also be deeply gratified.

Ye Yuaner only felt a special sensation like never before rushing into the depths of her Soul.

As the morning sun rose, sunlight shone into the room.

The room door was knocked on right on time.

"Xiao Wen, did you just wake up?"

Bi Ji spoke as she looked at Su Wen, who was still yawning.

A moment later,

she sensed something was off.

Bi Ji instinctively walked into the room.

There was the sound of running water in the bathroom.

As expected, Ye Yuaner hadn't left again.

The bedsheets were tidy, looking like they had just been freshly laid out.

It was precisely because the room looked so normal that Bi Ji felt something was more suspicious.

She leaned in and sniffed Su Wen's chest lightly.

"What's wrong?"

Su Wen's expression was strange, and he instinctively took a step back.

Bi Ji didn't pay him any mind.

She sat quietly on the sofa,

her demeanor somewhat dejected.

As expected.

He was still completely tainted!

*Creak!*

Ye Yuaner walked out of the bathroom.

Braving Bi Ji's gaze, which looked sharp enough to kill,

she sat to the side and nonchalantly poured herself a cup of tea.

She took a sip: "Elder Ju should be arriving soon. Xiao Wen, once we resolve the matter, let's play for two days before returning to Spirit City!"

"Bi Ji, why are you staring at me like that?"

Seeing Su Wen agree, Ye Yuaner looked at Bi Ji, who only gave a soft snort and didn't speak.

Ye Yuaner didn't care at all.

She was in a very good mood,

even feeling a bit smug.

*Clap clap!*

A sound suddenly came from the door.

Su Wen opened the door, and standing there were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo.

The two walked into the room, and Su Wen closed the door behind them.

Now that Chrysanthemum Douluo was back, Su Wen felt they could begin.

But why had Snake Lance Douluo come over?

"Saint, the matter has been settled. Everyone else has been dealt with, leaving only Meng Shenji, Zhi Lin, and Bai Baoshan. According to the Supreme Pontiff's wishes, you need to handle these three yourself."

"Only..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo instinctively looked at Snake Lance Douluo, who spoke directly: "Saint, Elder Ling Yuan, I am here to deliver a message. Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin cannot be killed. This is the command of the High Priest!"

Su Wen was speechless.

What High Priest? It was nothing more than Qian Renxue's command.

He felt Qian Daoliu wouldn't be so bored as to care about such matters.

Ye Yuaner also raised her eyebrows.

The Supreme Pontiff's command and the Hall of Worship's command were actually in conflict.

This left her equally speechless.

So, should they kill them or not?

Under normal circumstances, she would certainly obey the Supreme Pontiff.

Ye Yuaner looked at Su Wen, deciding to leave the choice to him.

Snake Lance Douluo was loyal to Spirit Hall, so he would not deliver a false command.

Even if this command couldn't have been issued by the High Priest himself,

it was still someone from the Hall of Worship.

"Sorry, I only listen to my teacher!"

"Elder Serpent Lance, you should head back."

Su Wen refused.

Snake Lance Douluo's eyes widened in shock.

The Saint actually dared to defy the Hall of Worship!

One must know that in Spirit Hall, although the Hall of Worship didn't manage day-to-day affairs, as long as they issued a command, that command was greater than anything else, even surpassing the Supreme Pontiff's Decree, and they even held the power to depose the Supreme Pontiff.

Moreover, he, Snake Lance Douluo, had spoken in the name of the High Priest.

Did Su Wen not understand?

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression also changed slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.

He remained silent.

He also knew it was likely the Young Lord's interference, but such things were hard to say.

"Saint, you should think this through carefully. This is a command sent from the Hall of Worship!"

Snake Lance Douluo couldn't help but remind him again.

"Elder Serpent Lance, can I take that as you threatening Xiao Wen?"

Ye Yuaner spoke with a displeased voice.

There were no fluctuations of Soul Power from her, but Elder Serpent Lance still felt the pressure.

A level 96 Super Douluo!

A latecomer from the younger generation,

yet her Soul Power far exceeded his, an old-timer Elder.

Snake Lance Douluo's thoughts were complex.

"I am only delivering a message. As for whether you do it or not, that is not my concern. My mission is complete."

Ye Yuaner didn't give him any Face at all and directly issued an order to leave: "Then please leave!"

"His Highness the Holy Son, farewell!"

Snake Lance Douluo's expression was somewhat ugly, but he said nothing more and turned to leave.

"Saint, Ling Yuan, do you two want to reconsider this?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but remind them, since it involved the Young Lord after all.

"No need, my mind is made up!"

"We act tonight!"

Su Wen didn't care about all that.

Although he didn't know what Qian Renxue was up to,

what he intended to do was not going to change.

"Alright!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped speaking, since Su Wen had said so.

He could only follow along. His mission was originally to watch over Su Wen; as for what Su Wen wanted to do, it was none of his business. He only needed to protect Su Wen so he could return to Spirit City safely.
