Chapter 53: Su Chen stood up in response to Bibi Dong’s disappointment!

As Light Ling Douluo's question came out, the hall fell into silence.

After a moment, someone hesitated and said, "Sir, if the more than nine million gold soul coins are actually spent on cultivating talents, there should be no problem, right?"

Immediately afterwards, many people echoed.

"Yes, yes, the Elite Project costs hundreds of thousands of dollars every day. The Pope must have a deep meaning in doing this."

"Isn't the Guang Ling worship a little fussy?"

Listening to the retorts around him, Ju Douluo clapped his hands excitedly, lowered his head and said to Su Chen behind him, "Look, there are many people with brains."

Really?

Su Chen frowned.

More than nine million gold soul coins may not be a lot, but a small amount is definitely a lot, and once this kind of thing is brought to the surface, it will definitely not be so simple.

So many people echoed it, and it was a bit weird to force an understatement.

He saw one or two of them saluting when Light Ling Douluo came in.

Moreover, rather than defending Bibi Dong, it is more like adding fuel to the fire and pushing this matter into a more serious direction.

As expected, Light Ling Douluo listened to these words with a smile on his face and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, of course I have no intention of questioning His Majesty's decision. As long as His Majesty the Pope is willing, let alone more than nine million, it will be ten million." , 100 million, as long as it is for Wuhun Palace, then we will fully cooperate."

"It's just that."

He changed the topic and his expression became serious.

"As far as I know, Your Majesty the Pope, you did not spend the money to buy soul bones and elixirs, nor did you do any targeted training. Instead, you hired a large number of craftsmen and purchased expensive protective metals at sky-high prices. And countless custom supplies! ”

"So."

Light Ling Douluo narrowed his one eye and looked at the beautiful silhouette on the high seat.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty the Pope to clarify my doubts. What kind of training does our number one genius need to use these things?"

Craftsman, metal, supplies?

Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

These sounds indeed have nothing to do with cultivation, but a bit like wanting to be a blacksmith?

What do you mean, the Pope wants to support the first genius to learn blacksmithing?

Isn’t that just giving up the basics and chasing the weak?

And what a waste, this is more than nine million gold soul coins, you can even buy a good soul bone!

If the Pope really used the money to purchase cultivation materials privately, they wouldn't say anything even if they felt uncomfortable. After all, Su Chen was indeed worth the price.

But if they come to learn something that is not on the stage, they will have objections.

"You must be confused about this."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Light Ling Douluo nodded with satisfaction. He raised his hand and lowered it to signal silence.

"I have another little tidbit, that is, our number one genius has been as fond of research as the master of martial arts theory since he was a child."

He glanced at Bibi Dong, who had been silent since the beginning, with a ferocious smile on his lips.

Like a poisonous snake that had been gathering momentum for a long time, it finally opened its fangs.

"Now that I think about it, these materials seem to be enough to build a very high-end experimental site."

boom!

As if a spark was dropped into a table of boiling oil, as soon as these words were spoken, the hall immediately exploded!

The senior officials whispered and looked at Guang Ling Douluo with surprise and uncertainty, as well as Bibi Dong, who was exuding an icy chill but didn't say a word in reply.

If what he said is true, then this matter is really intriguing.

"Humph, confused, simply confused!!"

An old man threw up his sleeves angrily and walked away. When he passed by Su Chen, he glared at him fiercely.

No one stopped.

This is an old man who has served three generations of popes. He is not very powerful, but his contribution to Wuhun Palace is huge, so he usually has a high prestige. Although he is not an elder, his status is not below him.

He was one of those who were friendly to Bibi Dong, but his disappointment in Bibi Dong could also be seen from the regretful look in his eyes when he left.

The pope's red lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to stop him, but in the end he sighed secretly and stopped.

Some of the neutral senior officials looked at Bibi Dong with disappointment and regret.

If the money used to let Su Chen learn blacksmithing was a waste of golden soul coins, then letting him study such ethereal things was a pure crime.

Who in the martial arts world doesn't know the name of Master Yu Xiaogang?

But as the most authoritative expert in the martial arts world, isn't he also half a laughing stock?

In the martial arts world, strength is still respected after all. Wasting money is a small matter, but burying genius is a big deal.

What's more, Su Chen is only a six-year-old child. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to expect him to be able to study something?

And doing such ridiculous things because of selfishness also reflects from the side that the Pope himself has a big problem.

This is the fundamental reason for their disappointment.

They can tolerate the Pope's preference for Su Chen, not participating in elite programs, not going to the academy, and even attending the Pope's Palace at such a young age.

But it is absolutely unacceptable to use the resources of Wuhun Palace to provide him with such ridiculous things!

"His Majesty the Pope, you have gone too far this time."

An old man shook his head and sighed, his disappointment palpable.

"Sure enough, she is a young girl who acts on her own initiative and only relies on her preferences. How can she be worthy of the Pope?!"

"I think it's better to let the old pope come back."

"That's right, that's right. She is so unwise to favor a child today. Isn't it going to cause greater disasters in the future?"

Many old men who usually only participate in discussions and not in debates stood up and mercilessly accused the beautiful figure on the high and distant throne.

Bibi Dong said nothing, just stood there, silently bearing these accusations.

She could scold Guangling Douluo and fight with the six-winged angels, but she couldn't say anything to these old men who only had the Spirit Hall in their hearts.

Just bear it and it will pass. Anyway, Qian Daoliu will not let her step down, right?

It's not the first time.

Bibi Dong smiled self-deprecatingly and looked at the silver-haired boy with some guilt.

This time, I wanted him to feel the atmosphere here in advance and prepare for the future, but I didn't expect to involve him.

But when she looked over, she was slightly stunned.

Because the boy's black eyes were still as calm as a well, as if he was not affected at all.

But more importantly, he was leaving his position.

"Your Holiness is still young, it is normal for him to make mistakes, hahahahaha, please give her more opportunities."

Guangling Douluo couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth that were raised.

If the atmosphere was not inappropriate, he really wanted to laugh out loud now.

You stinky woman, you have come to this day, hahahahaha!!!

Listening to the accusations around her that she could not refute, Guangling Douluo felt happy in her heart.

Ahem, but don't go too far, just let her be honest and obedient.

Thinking of this, Guangling Douluo coughed dryly, and when he was about to come out to be a good person, a clear young man's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"Everyone, can you listen to me for a few words?"

The hall was silent.

Everyone subconsciously looked back, but found that the silver-haired boy was already standing in the center of the hall, looking at them with a smile on his handsome face.

"Although it's not necessary, I'll still explain it briefly for His Holiness the Pope and me."
