76: Support from Qiandaoliu
Dai Mubai, after swirling his wine glass and taking a sip, smiled and looked at the somewhat anxious Ning Fengzhi, giving him a rough timeframe.
"Hmm, it's not too late then."
Having received the answer, Ning Fengzhi felt much more at ease and returned to his original calm and composed demeanor.
After slowly putting down his wine glass, Dai Mubai intended to leave. Ning Fengzhi looked at the calculating Dai Mubai before him and, as if possessed, couldn't help but ask a question he himself felt was foolish.
"Mu Bai, is your stance with Star Luo?"
Hearing this question, Dai Mubai couldn't help but sigh, thinking that even an old fox like Ning Fengzhi would ask such a question. At this moment, he hadn't exposed anything he shouldn't have.
However, Dai Mubai spoke calmly, giving an answer that completely exceeded Ning Fengzhi's expectations.
"How would you choose between the monarch of an Empire and a path that leads further?"
After speaking, Dai Mubai left without any hesitation.
Ning Fengzhi also fell silent for a long time after hearing this answer. It was clear what it meant for Dai Mubai to be able to say such words.
At first, this left Ning Fengzhi somewhat confused, but looking at the Spirit Hall's Angel God statue, he couldn't help but find the answer.
Becoming a God!
In Ning Fengzhi's view, only this path could make Dai Mubai say such words, and for Dai Mubai to dare to say this, he must have at least some certainty.
Ning Fengzhi, clearing his thoughts, recalled the calm and composed tone in which Dai Mubai spoke his last words as he left, as if achieving Godhood was a certainty for him.
If it were anyone else, Ning Fengzhi would never believe it, but what happened to Dai Mubai over the past year or so seemed to be best explained only by him being a God inheritor.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh. If Dai Mubai liked his Rong Rong, all problems would be solved.
However, Ning Fengzhi wasn't too greedy. After all, he knew that his daughter Ning Rongrong and future son-in-law Oscar had a deep friendship with Dai Mubai.
Especially Oscar. According to Ning Fengzhi's investigation, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were considered Dai Mubai's brothers. When he becomes a God, he would definitely help Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
Having understood everything, Ning Fengzhi no longer worried and returned directly to his residence.
The next day
When the Shrek Academy group went to the Star Luo Empire and Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Qian Daoliu received a letter from Bibi Dong saying she had something important to discuss.
This greatly surprised Qian Daoliu. To be precise, ever since Qian Renxue went undercover in Heaven Dou, they hadn't communicated for a long time. After all, he knew what his granddaughter had done.
Therefore, he turned a blind eye to everything Bibi Dong did. After all, in his opinion, as long as Qian Renxue inherited the God Position, everything Bibi Dong did would just be preparing things for Qian Renxue.
However, Qian Daoliu did not refuse at this time. He wanted to see what important matter this woman, Bibi Dong, would want to discuss with him.
"You've come."
Bibi Dong stepped down from the throne, looking at the expressionless Qian Daoliu. After all, this man before her was a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo who could unleash demigod-level combat power with the help of the Angel God statue. She couldn't afford to be negligent in the slightest.
"It's rare for you to seek me out actively. Speak, what do you want? If it's the nonsense we discussed before, don't waste this old man's time."
Qian Daoliu slowly and coldly asked about Bibi Dong's purpose. The last sentence clearly indicated that they had had unpleasant experiences together before.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel a slight anger. This old man was still holding a grudge about the previous matter, but now was not the time to discuss the past.
Bibi Dong spoke with a somewhat probing tone, asking Qian Daoliu about something.
"Do you want the Angel God's light to shine upon a wider area?"
Qian Daoliu was startled at first upon hearing this. Why would Bibi Dong say such nonsense? Didn't the Angel lineage, represented by the Spirit Hall, already shine upon the entire continent?
However, Qian Daoliu quickly realized something was wrong. This woman, Bibi Dong, wouldn't speak nonsense, unless...
Bibi Dong was very satisfied with Qian Daoliu's expression, which went from initial disdain to immediate seriousness. So, she spoke the words Qian Daoliu wanted to hear.
"My subordinates have discovered the existence of another continent."
Boom!
At this moment, Qian Daoliu's mind felt as if it had exploded with shock. Another continent? How could that be?
After all, their Angel lineage had been passed down for a long time. If another continent truly existed, he would have known about it long ago. How could it only be discovered now?
However, Qian Daoliu felt seven parts certain that what Bibi Dong said was the truth, given her current certainty in saying it.
After all, Bibi Dong had no reason to trick him, nor would she dare to.
However, Qian Daoliu maintained an outwardly expressionless demeanor and spoke directly with an undeniable tone.
"Give me the evidence."
Bibi Dong was naturally displeased with Qian Daoliu's attitude, but since the true peak combat power was in his hands, she could only give Qian Daoliu a copy of the map Dai Mubai had given her.
Qian Daoliu looked at the detailed but previously unrecorded route on the map and already believed Bibi Dong's words by ninety percent.
So, without further ado, he directly asked about Bibi Dong's true purpose.
"What do you want?"
"Cooperate with me completely. I will arrange for the Two Great Empires and several major Sects to prepare for all of this. Also, I have had Xiao... Xiao Xue return. The Heaven Dou Empire plan is almost finished."
After saying everything, Bibi Dong slowly turned around. After all, the last part of her sentence was indeed spoken through gritted teeth.
Qian Daoliu didn't care about what Bibi Dong said at first and had even guessed her purpose.
However, Bibi Dong's subsequent words greatly exceeded his expectations. He even suspected if Bibi Dong had some sinister plot.
But on second thought, there was no need, and it was impossible under his nose. This could only mean that Bibi Dong wanted to actively try to ease the relationship between them.
Although Qian Daoliu still had doubts about Bibi Dong's action, he was naturally pleased that Bibi Dong made this move.
So, Qian Daoliu took the map Bibi Dong gave him, walked to the door, and left after saying a sentence in a slightly milder tone.
"This old man will send someone to go with your people to confirm it. Once it is confirmed, this old man will cooperate with you."
The curtain thus fell on their conversation. Bibi Dong didn't know in her heart whether what she had done was right or not.
However, having achieved her goal, she also breathed a sigh of relief. As for Qian Renxue's matter, she could only take things one step at a time when the time came.
Inside Douluo Hall
After Qian Daoliu contacted the Angel God with his thoughts, he reported the matter of the other continent to the Angel God.
After all, for him at present, helping Bibi Dong attack a continent would inevitably cause a large amount of slaughter, which seemed somewhat contrary to certain tenets of the Angel lineage. Therefore, he still chose to communicate with the Angel God first.
God Realm
The Angel God was also somewhat surprised when she learned from her follower, Qian Daoliu, that another continent had been discovered on the Douluo Plane, but then she became indifferent.
After all, it wasn't a big deal for a plane to suddenly discover a few small continents, but she was certainly willing to do something that could yield extra faith.
Moreover, she wasn't doing it herself. So, the Angel God spoke with a somewhat condescending tone.
"You are permitted to go forth and teach the Angel doctrine in the barbarian lands."
The Angel God's meaning was very clear: What does it matter to me how many people die? As long as I can gain more faith.
However, to package herself, she still chose to speak in a grand and righteous manner.
At the same time, the Shura God instantly arrived at the Angel God's residence. Seeing that the Angel God had privately communicated with the lower realm, he was very displeased and immediately spoke with a reprimanding tone.
"Angel God, have you forgotten the rule that communication with people from the lower realm is not allowed except during God trials?"
"I wouldn't dare. It is just that a follower from the lower realm discovered a barbarian land. Because teaching our lineage's existence there might involve a great slaughter and conflict with the doctrines I have previously taught, I was merely guiding him."
The Angel God was very displeased with the Shura God for trespassing into her residence, but to prevent him from finding fault, she still answered truthfully.
"Only this once."
Hearing the Angel God's airtight answer, the Shura God could only coldly utter these words and then quickly leave.
The Angel God watched the Shura God, with his stern face, come and quickly leave. After the Shura God had completely left, the Angel God couldn't help but curse internally, wondering if the Shura God was having a bad day to be so irritable.
The Shura God was irritable because he also had a favored inheritor on the Douluo Continent (Tang San). He was so irritable because he was afraid something might happen to his inheritor. After all, he had been in this position long enough and had long wanted to quit.
However, busy with his work, the Shura God did not realize that his favored inheritor was currently developing in the direction he least desired...
