Chapter 182 Your love is too cheap (two in one)
"I understand," Qian Daoliu nodded, "You are now in the golden stage of improving your strength, so naturally you cannot delay your own practice. βππ¨π¨π π₯πSearchπ¬ππ¨πππππ¨π¦Readβ"
In fact, if Su Cheng had not been able to return to Poseidon Island, he might not have made this decision.
Although Qian Daoliu himself is not selfish and has no bad intentions, Wuhun Palace is his obsession after all, and Bibi Dong is the future hope of Wuhun Palace. Regarding her training, naturally it cannot be completely left to an outsider, let alone to the successors of other forces.
He looked at Su Cheng and said bluntly: "Cheng Xue, what Ji'er did today may have left a shadow on Bibi Dong's heart. Fortunately, it did not cause irreparable serious consequences. I hope you can help enlighten her. You may not know that Bibi Dong has the talent of twin martial souls, which is why Ji'er made such a big mistake."
Su Cheng couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.
He was indeed planning to train Bibi Dong and return to Poseidon Island as his support in the future.
But to this point, he has actually done enough.
In total, he saved Bibi Dong twice. It would not be too much to give her one chance to take action in the future.
Qian Xunji, an elder who was very important to her, made such a move, which was enough for her to mature quickly.
At this point, there is no need for the rest to continue to make more appearances. All she needs to do is hide behind the scenes and give her a few pointers so as not to let her grow crooked.
Because of the impact of the simulated world on reality, he didn't really want to have too much contact with Bibi Dong.
Seeing his silence, Qian Daoliu continued to persuade: "Don't worry, we are just practicing together. You can decide the daily time. It will not take up too much of your energy. Bibi Dong also has many elders of Wuhun Palace who can give guidance. As a thank you. , the resources in Wuhun Palace will be open to you, and if you need help, you can always ask."
Seeing that the other party had said this, Su Cheng couldn't refuse anymore and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
At the same time, he secretly decided to return to Poseidon Island within ten years.
The reason why such a time period was limited was because he and Bo Saixi had been together for more than ten years when they were on Poseidon Island.
As long as this time limit is not exceeded, there won't be much of a problem.
In addition, she had been concealing her appearance and name, so even if Bibi Dong could really remember some fragments, it would not have any impact.
"Okay, senior, I can give it a try."
The next day, Su Cheng took the initiative to walk towards the Pope's Palace in the morning.
Bibi Dong finally decided to stay in Wuhun Hall.
Qian Daoliu had also greeted her and mentioned the general arrangements for her future training.
At this time, Su Cheng was ready to see how the other party's mental state was and what specific changes had occurred after yesterday's events.
He was still playing with an Elder Token in his hand.
This was given to him by Qian Daoliu, representing the status of the honorary elder of Wuhun City. The respective sect leaders of the three sects on Douluo Continent also have a piece.
Although Su Cheng didn't care about this kind of thing, with it, it would be much easier to walk on the mainland in the future.
When Su Cheng arrived outside the Pope's Palace, he found that the other party was already waiting near the square in front of the entrance.
Bibi Dong did not change her clothes today, she was still wearing the uncomplicated saintly attire from before. His temperament seemed to have changed a bit, and his face looked a little gloomy, as if he hadn't had much rest.
Looking from a distance, Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It has to be said that no matter Bibi Dong when she was young or she in another world, no matter what their temperaments are and what flaws their character backgrounds have, their appearance is indeed impeccable.
Her figure is not tall, slightly shorter than Qian Renxue, but it does not affect the overall sense of the body. It seems that this figure is the most perfect fit for her.
The tight waist is connected to the round hips and slender legs. They look extremely coordinated and not weak at all. The perfect figure curve of the upper body exudes amazing charm all the time.
She seemed to have noticed Su Cheng's arrival, her eyes moved slightly, and then she took the initiative to greet him.
While walking, even if he doesn't swing his body deliberately, he still shows his charming charm.
And now Bibi Dong still doesn't have the majestic aura that she had after becoming the pope, but her own beauty is more highlighted.
Across the arc of the chest, the delicate and deep facial features on the swan-like white long neck are like stone carvings. A pair of dark eyes are clear and bright, crystal clear, and under the straight bridge of the nose, the soft red lips are gorgeous and attractive.
Even without the blessing of status, she is still a first-class beauty in the world.
"Cheng Xue, you're here." When they got closer, Bibi Dong seemed to have calmed down from yesterday's incident. All kinds of emotions were deep in her heart. Except for her face, which looked slightly haggard, there weren't many clues.
She bowed slightly and said gratefully: "Thank you for helping me yesterday."
Su Cheng didn't refuse, and accepted her gift calmly, and then said, "Has the great minister told you about it?"
"As I said, he asked me to practice with you from now on." Bibi Dong nodded lightly, with a hint of blush on her face as she spoke.
Qian Daoliu also talked about a lot of other things with her yesterday, but it was hard to tell Su Chengming those things.
Su Cheng didn't notice the change in her expression at this moment, turned around and said, "Let's go to the library today. Let's talk while walking."
Naturally, Bibi Dong would not refuse, and the two of them immediately walked towards the library.
"Bibi Dong, you have to remember the feeling of powerlessness you felt in the desperate situation yesterday, and then bravely face your own shortcomings. If you want to control your own destiny, only if you are strong enough can you have this opportunity. The weak have no say."
Su Cheng said seriously as he walked, "I can protect you, not because I am reasonable, but because I am strong enough. In this world, reason does not make sense. After all, there are only a few people like Da Chongfeng. Yesterday What I said is not false. If I pay some price, I am sure that I can escape unscathed."
"Don't the weak have the right to speak..." Bibi Dong followed him and repeated in a low voice, "I understand."
"On Poseidon Island, where I was born, every soul master must accept the Poseidon test when he is eighteen years old. If he fails, he will be expelled from Poseidon Island. Therefore, although Poseidon Island has existed for tens of thousands of years since its emergence, , but the population of the island has never exceeded 10,000. Those who pass the test are not allowed to leave Poseidon Island for life."
"Not allowed to leave Poseidon Island for life?" Bibi Dong was a little surprised.
When Su Cheng first came to Wuhun Hall, she was also present on the day he was talking to Qian Daoliu. She heard some news, but didn't know much. She didn't expect that the rules of Poseidon Island were so strict.
"Yeah." Su Cheng responded casually, "The rewards for passing the Poseidon test are huge. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. This is fair."
He glanced at Bibi Dong and said, "No one can satisfy everyone. Rules are made by the strong. If you feel unconvinced, just be the one who made the rules."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.
While talking, the two of them quickly arrived at the door of the library.
What surprised Su Cheng was that Yu Xiaogang was also looking in this direction at this time.
It is estimated that the incident in the Pope's Palace yesterday alarmed many people and made him a little curious, so he wanted to know something about Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong also saw Yu Xiaogang not far away, and her heart suddenly stirred up. She couldn't help but think of the scenes that happened yesterday, and what she had said to Qian Xunji on impulse.
His mood became a little complicated, and he lowered his head subconsciously, avoiding the other person's gaze.
Su Chengruo felt something, glanced at Bibi Dong beside him, and thought to himself.
In fact, if she falls in love again now, it shouldn't have much impact.
The unexpected factor of Qian Xunji has been removed, Bibi Dong's own temperament has also begun to change, she has become much more mature, and everything is under control.
If you insist on breaking them up, it might have the opposite effect.
Bibi Dong's nature is extreme and stubborn, which is difficult to change. Sometimes, it may be better to block things than to let them go.
The key is to control her well and not let her become crazy and stupid because of emotional matters, and become an extreme love brain like she originally was.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng took the initiative and said, "If you really like that Yu Xiaogang, it's not impossible."
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then wanted to defend himself, but heard him continue: "But I still have the same opinion as before, your energy should not be focused on falling in love, nor should you focus on falling in love because of this. This kind of thing delays your own cultivation. In terms of cultivation, that person's limited ability can't help you. As long as you don't get into it too deep, and don't let it affect your own cultivation, it's okay to fall in love."
But even though he said that, Su Cheng also understood that sometimes things like feelings were not something that Bibi Dong could easily control.
The core problem is not the depth of the relationship between the other party and Yu Xiaogang, but that Bibi Dong himself is too stupid.
But if you want to cure stupidity, there is actually a good way - read more books.
The main reason why she is so easy to deceive is because she is uneducated.
Bibi Dong pursed her lips, but in the end she said nothing more and walked into the library with him in silence.
Su Cheng has long been very familiar with the library of Wuhun Palace. Although the layout is slightly different now, it is generally the same. He is deeply impressed by the placement of various books here.
While selecting study materials suitable for Bibi Dong, Su Cheng said: "Your talent is far better than ordinary people. I heard the great priest said that you have the talent of twin martial arts. In terms of cultivation qualifications, you are far above me, so I donβt think you need to learn too much or too complicated before you reach the realm of Titled Douluo. I hope you lay a solid foundation first.β
As he spoke, he placed books such as "Basics of Soul Ring Theory", "Classification of Beast Souls and Weapon Souls", "Encyclopedia of Soul Beast Attributes", "Conjectures on the Nature of Soul Masters' Soul Power" on the table one by one. There are even books that have nothing to do with cultivation such as "The Differences in Thoughts of Different Classes", "The Irrationality of the Aristocratic System", "Beast Nature and Rationality".
Fortunately, this is the Wuhun Palace, otherwise it would be impossible to find the following books on the market.
But he didn't know that Bibi Dong seemed a little absent-minded at this time.
"You must read all of these books within a week during your free time outside of practice, and understand and digest them. I will check them then."
Su Cheng pushed more than twenty books in front of Bibi Dong, and emphasized: "When reading, try to have your own understanding, and don't accept the contents of the book completely. Of course, you don't have to force this, you are too knowledgeable now. Qian, it will be different when you see more in the future."
Seeing that Bibi Dong seemed to be in a daze, Su Cheng thought she was doubting his teaching methods, so he took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, reading more books will benefit you beyond imagination, allowing you to practice more with less effort in the future. You may still be able to do it for the time being. You canβt understand it, but trust me, youβll understand it after some time.β
Bibi Dong finally came back to her senses and stretched out her slender fingers to gently touch the stacks of books in front of her.
After staying in Wuhun Palace for so long, she rarely looked through the various materials in the library.
She had no memory of the names of these books.
When Qian Xunji taught her before, he always directly told her how to absorb soul power, how to exercise her body, and what kind of soul beast to choose. She never let her put any thought into it.
Bibi Dong turned to look at Su Cheng and suddenly asked, "Cheng Xue, how do you view other people?"
"How do you treat other people? What do you mean by this?" Su Cheng raised his head in surprise, a little confused about her question.
"Well..." Bibi Dong said slowly, carefully considering her words, "I think you seem to be a little dismissive of many people and many things, so I want to know who you approve of. What are your standards for looking at people? "
Su Cheng blinked and didn't understand why Bibi Dong suddenly mentioned this, but still said: "Senior Qian Daoliu is someone I recognize, and I respect him very much."
"The great worshiper is very powerful. It's normal for you to respect him. What about the others?"
"You're wrong. I respect the great worshiper, not because of his strength." Su Cheng smiled and said seriously.
"You said before that there is no one I like, but that's not the case. When I look at people, it has nothing to do with their talent and strength. I only care about a person's temperament and quality, and whether he has enough will to practice his own path. .
"I look down on Yu Xiaogang, not because he lacks talent, but because he cannot face his own shortcomings, yet he is still ambitious and self-righteous, and always wants to take shortcuts.
"I don't like Qian Xunji because his methods are too low-level and his actions are not worthy of his identity and origin. But yesterday, he impressed me. At least he can face failure head-on."
Bibi Dong watched him quietly, waiting for the next words, but found that the other party stopped abruptly at this point.
"..." Bibi Dong gritted her teeth secretly when she saw this, and could only ask softly: "What about me, what do you think of me?"
"You?" Su Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hesitantly said, "You're fine."
He didn't want to make the relationship between the two more tense.
But if he praised Bibi Dong without conscience, he couldn't do it.
"..."
However, seeing his reaction, Bibi Dong was not stupid. She immediately guessed it and her heart sank slightly.
Pursing her lips, she turned back and whispered: "Just say what you have to say. I was too naive in the past, but you always had to tell me what I did wrong so that I could make changes."
Su Cheng was suddenly shocked. He felt that the girl beside him had really changed a lot. What he just said was completely beyond his expectations.
"Well, there are a few things I didn't understand. I hope you can answer them for me."
After thinking about it, he stopped being polite and asked directly.
"What is your position that makes you think of leaving the Spirit Hall for Yu Xiaogang?
"Qian Xunji's handling method is indeed very problematic, but he is right about one thing. The existence of Wuhun Palace is indispensable for your achievements today.
"I heard that the mainland is different from our Poseidon Island. It is ruled by two empires, many kingdoms and a large number of nobles. The status of civilians is not high.
"You yourself are born as a commoner. If there was no Spirit Hall, you might not even have a chance to awaken your spirit. No, let alone awakening your spirit, survival would be a problem. No matter what the ultimate goal of the Spirit Hall was in training you in the first place. What, itβs always right to be kind to you.
"That Yu Xiaogang is still reluctant to let go of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect that expelled him from the family. Why are you so determined to abandon the Spirit Hall where you grew up for someone you have only just met?
"Is it for your so-called love? How many men have you seen since you were a child? You just met Yu Xiaogang and you are so unable to extricate yourself. Your love is too cheap."
"..." Bibi Dong looked back at Su Cheng, her eyes trembling slightly uncontrollably, "Cheap..."
"This is just my opinion, and it may be a little biased." Su Cheng originally wanted to say something more, but seeing her look like this, he didn't want to continue irritating the other person.
So he said calmly: "If you think what I said is wrong, you can give me a reason to refute me and tell me the reason why you did this."
"I... I just don't want to be restrained..." Bibi Dong's voice was slightly dull, and then she weakly whispered: "I don't love Yu Xiaogang."
When Su Cheng heard this, his eyebrows under the mask raised, and his tone was a bit solemn.
"You don't need to avoid me on this matter, I'm not like Qian Xunji. There is no interest entanglement between me and you, and I won't restrict you.
"You practice for yourself, not for me. If there is any progress in the relationship between you and Yu Xiaogang, it is best not to hide it, it is meaningless.
"To be honest, I don't think falling in love with him will do any good to your practice, but I also understand that even if you stop this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will just add fuel to the fire, so it's better to just let it take its course.
"You don't have to worry about the Grand Priest. As long as you don't leave Wuhun Hall because of this, I will mediate between you and I don't think he will say anything.
"As for the question of whether you are bound or not, I have said before that there are few things in the world that are obtained for nothing, and you will naturally have to pay for it.
"I told you that day that your teacher would not allow you to escape control, and why do you think Qian Xunji would be so selfless and allow you to leave so easily with a soul master from another family.
βItβs okay if you donβt want to pay, then become strong enough to ignore the rules.
"Bibi Dong, don't forget how powerless you felt yesterday."
"...I understand." Bibi Dong lowered her eyes, gently clenched her fists behind her back, and swallowed back the words she originally wanted to say.
Su Cheng was secretly relieved when he saw this.
As long as the other party knows what's going on, everything is controllable.
I am afraid that some unexpected situations will occur, which will seriously disrupt my next plan.
In fact, he already had reservations about what he just said.
Just because Bibi Dong dared to say those words to Qian Xunji, he could be labeled as naive and stupid.
"Do I just need to read these books? Are there any other requirements?"
After Bibi Dong organized her thoughts, she finally focused on the books in front of her.
"That's the case for the time being." Su Cheng nodded, "Don't worry, this will not delay your cultivation efficiency. This is just the first step. Besides, if you succeed in cultivation in the future, it will also be of great benefit to me."
Bibi Dong was a little confused, "Is it also very good for you?"
"That's right." Now that he had said this, Su Cheng said frankly and honestly: "I can see that your nature is not bad. From the strength I have shown, you should also be able to see what my abilities are. What will happen next is For a long time, I can help you improve wholeheartedly, but in the future, when you succeed in cultivation, I hope you will take action for me once, and I will repay you."
"Do you need me to help you?" Bibi Dong looked surprised.
She had already seen the other party's true strength yesterday.
You must know that Su Cheng is now less than nineteen years old and is already able to compete with a titled Douluo. Judging from this progress, it is not impossible to cultivate to a ninety-ninth level peerless Douluo in his lifetime.
Bibi Dong certainly knew how talented she was, and she also knew how powerful the twin spirits were, but she didn't think she would have a chance to surpass them in future strength.
"Yes." Su Cheng nodded affirmatively, "But you will definitely not lose on this deal, and your life will not be in danger by then. And I'm not bragging. Under my guidance, your cultivation progress will definitely be far beyond imagination. .β
"Deal?" Bibi Dong looked for a moment, then nodded gently and said, "Okay."
While the two were practicing, half a year passed quickly.
During this period, Su Cheng did not teach Bibi Dong any cultivation-related skills. He just continued to find various materials for Bibi Dong to study, and set tasks for her to check once a week.
This kind of learning is not simply reading or reciting, but must be understood and digested.
Considering Bibi Dong's IQ, the amount of study every week is actually quite large. After learning these contents, coupled with the cultivation of her own soul power, there will be almost no leisure time every day.
This will undoubtedly greatly reduce her personal activity time.
Even in the past six months, Su Cheng had never seen Bibi Dong go on a date with Yu Xiaogang, and the other party never complained at all, which shocked him.
But the role of reading books is undoubtedly extremely huge.
Bibi Dong has an extreme nature, and with an empty brain and no accumulation of knowledge, it is so easy to go to extremes.
After six months of study, she has undergone a certain degree of transformation from the inside out.
Although he is still some distance away from maturity, his temperament has obviously become much calmer.
Su Cheng has accumulated a wealth of knowledge, and he can easily tell Bibi Dong's current level.
From a theoretical perspective alone, her professionalism has surpassed that of Yu Xiaogang.
Even though Yu Xiaogang has been studying theory since he was a child because of his martial arts, the gap in their learning conditions is really huge.
First of all, the forces behind them are not on the same level at all.
Although the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Sect is also one of the top three sects, the information it possesses is extremely limited and not comprehensive. After coming to Wuhun City, Yu Xiao has just been exposed to high-end knowledge.
In other words, his real learning time is actually only these few years.
On the other hand, although Bibi Dong had only studied for half a year, the books he read were all high-quality books carefully selected by Su Cheng. There were very few fallacies in them, and there was no need to verify each other from a variety of materials, which greatly improved the learning efficiency.
In this way, it is natural for knowledge accumulation to catch up with the former.
After checking last week's homework, Su Cheng and Bibi Dong walked in the forest behind Pope Mountain.
Today's Bibi Dong's temperament has changed a lot compared to half a year ago, and a faint aura of majesty has begun to appear on her body.
Even if she is only a temporary pope with little real power, her status is there after all. Even those elders at the Titled Douluo level must maintain respect for her.
Occasionally attending events as the face of the Pope's Palace, he is also a representative of real power facing major forces, and rapid growth is inevitable.
Moreover, the books Su Cheng chose for her not only provided knowledge about cultivation, but were also helpful for her daily behavior.
"Why do you have time to go out for a walk with me today?"
Bibi Dong looked reserved and spoke lightly, with no big fluctuations in her expression.
When talking to Su Cheng, he was no longer as passive as before.
"You're too tense right now. It wouldn't hurt to relax sometimes." Su Cheng said casually, not caring about her attitude.
"It's rare for you to have such an idea. I thought you thought I was made of iron." Bibi Dong snorted lightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.
"Is that so?" Su Cheng said in surprise, "I thought you thought this amount of learning was just right."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "What books do you want to read this week? You haven't given them to me yet."
"No more reading. You can make your own arrangements today. Starting tomorrow, we will change the way of practice."
"Free arrangement?" Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment.
She has become accustomed to the schedule planning of the past six months. Except for very few official duties, her daily time is almost filled with reading and cultivation.
At this moment, when he suddenly heard Su Cheng say this, he seemed a little unresponsive for a moment.
"You have read enough books. You may not have the idea yet, but I know it well." Su Cheng smiled and said, "I have already informed the great minister that starting from tomorrow, we will leave Wuhun City and go to the mainland. Traveling for a while.β
Speaking of this, he joked jokingly: "You can take advantage of today to go find Yu Xiaogang to catch up on old times. I'm afraid you won't be able to see each other again for a long time."
After getting along for half a year, the relationship between the two has become very natural, and it is not uncommon for them to talk and laugh like friends on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong suddenly turned cold and said calmly: "Don't make such a joke."
