LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 13: The Coronation Ceremony of the Saintess
"Deacon Gui, I want to ask you for a favor."
Leaving the Leisure Manor, Bibi Dong and Gui Mei walked a long way before reaching the city gate.
At this time, Bibi Dong asks for a request from Deacon Gui.
"Your Highness, please speak. It is my duty."
Gui Mei nodded. The saintess's parents had been kind to him and along with that, this was also the pope's and Sir Su Zhe's request. With all these added up, forget about asking for a favor, even if she wanted him to sell his life, he would not shirk his duty!
"When we get back to Spirit Hall, let's not mention anything about Brother Su Zhe, okay?"
Bibi Dong's eyes were pleading.
Gui Mei nodded. "Of course, I understand what the saintess means. You must be worried that if the others find out about Sir Su Zhe's matter, they might disturb his peace."
"Yes, with my teacher's personality, he'll definitely visit Brother Su Zhe and extend an olive branch to him, inviting Brother Su Zhe to join Spirit Hall.
"However, with Brother Su Zhe's personality, I don't think he'll leave the LeisureManor. If the conflict between the two sides escalates, it'll bring unnecessary trouble to Brother Su Zhe. Plus, he's a powerful man. If we offend him, I'm afraid that the Spirit Palace will also be destroyed."
Bibi Dong explained the reason without any hesitation. This was because she clearly understood Spirit Hall's development goal.They had aimed to surpass the upper three sects, becoming the number one power in the spirit master world.
Gui Mei also understood what Bibi Dong meant, "I share the same thoughts as the saintess."
"Moreover, even if it's out of selfishness, I still want to protect this secret. If more people go to Leisure Manor, doesn't that mean that more spirit Masters will have the opportunity to evolve their spirits and transform their natural talents? Then, I'll be worthless, haha!"
Gui Mei laughed along. Although it was a joke, it made sense.
"Even if the teacher or the high priest asks you anything, you can't say a word!" Bibi Dong warned him over and over again.
"Okay, but we have to find an excuseto explain my third ring spirit. It will be revealed soon and my spirit has also undergone a transformation. We won't be able to hide it."
"Then let's say that we encountered two very powerful spirit beasts fighting each other in the Great Star Battle forest. Senior Yu lost his life because of this, but we were lucky enough to survive and finally obtained the sacrifice of these two spirit beasts."
"That's good! Although it's not rigorous enough and there are still some details that I need to think about, this is the best I can do for now."
Gui Mei and Bibi Dong roughly discussed, then entered the city, finding Spirit Hall's branch in the city. After getting two Spirit beast carriages, they quickly returned to Spirit Hall.
About six days later.
In the tall building of the Spirit Hall, the young girl, Bibi Dong, wore a luxurious white saintess robe with golden patterns printed on it. She was standing on the balcony and looking into the distance, deep in thoughts.
At that moment, a man in a golden angel armor appeared. He looked handsome and cool, and this was the time of his life.
That was Spirit Hall's current Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji.
"Dong 'er, are you ready? Tomorrow will be the Saintess's coronation ceremony."
"Yes, I'm ready,"
Bibi Dong nodded, speaking with confidence.
"When the time comes, there will be three outstanding people of the same age who will come to challenge you. You must defeat them in order to rightfully become the saintess!"
Even though he was very optimistic about Bibi Dong's talent, Spirit Hall's saintess had to convince the people. She was the most outstanding spirit master of the present day and her reputation cannot be tainted.
He wanted all the spirit masters and citizens to acknowledge this!
"Of course I believe you, you are the continent's rarest spirit master, one in a hundred years to hold twin spirits. You possess peerless talent! In addition to that, thanks to your fortuitous encounter in the Great Star Battle forest this time, you have a ten thousand year spirit beast to give you your third spirit ring.
"You're definitely the one who can surpass Tang Chen from Clear Sky Sect who has been the number one genius for the past hundred years!"
Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong with satisfaction. In his heart, she was a treasure bestowed by the heavens to Spirit Hall, a candidate who could shoulder the great responsibility of Spirit Hall!
"Tang Chen?"
Hearing this name, Bibi Dong's eyes were also somewhat moved.
The Clear Sky Sect was found in a huge mountain in front of Spirit Hall. The reason why they could stand tall and firm was all because of Tang Chen.
He was the most powerful person on the Douluo continent, a rank ninety nine titled Douluo who was on par with Spirit Hall's High Priest, Qian Daoliu!
His existence was what Spirit Hall was most afraid of, creating the great Clear Sky Hammer technique, leading the blacksmiths of the past to become the head of the three upper sects. His name shook the continent!
Even the High Priest was quite afraid of Tang Chen.
It was said that the two of them had a great battle and the victor has not decided.
However, it established the two's extraordinary titles leaving Qian Daoliu invincible in the sky and Tang Chen invincible on land.
"Yes, I will set him as my goal to surpass him."
Bibi Dong nodded her head. If it was before, she wouldn't dare say she could surpass Tang Chen, but after going to the Leisure Manor, everything had changed!
"Oh right, teacher, about Senior Yu Xiaogang's corpse... What did the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon sect say?"
Bibi Dong asked as she thought of another person.
"Don't worry. After verification, Yu Xiaogang was indeed killed by an extremely powerful spirit beast. It was not easy for you to bring back his bones. He has already been returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"Did Sect Master Yu of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect say anything? After all, Senior Yu died in an accident while he was a student here."
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's master was Yu Yuanzhen, rank ninety five title Douluo, title Thunder, currently ranked fourth expert on the Supreme Pontiff's order, ranked third among the three upper secrs of the continent.
Yu Xiaogang was Yu Yuanzen's own flesh and blood. He wouldn't let this matter go so easily, right?
"He was a little angry but he could only hold it in. Yu Xiaogang is a useless son of his, Yu Yuan Zhen would not lose the big picture for the small. He wouldn't want to be enemies with Spirit Hall.
"Moreover, Yu Xiao gang's death wasn't intentional. He died because of his own lack of strength."
Yu Xiaogang's death made Qian Xunji rather happy. He had long heard that this fellow was pestering Dong'er in the Academy.
How could this dog be worthy of being Dong'er's friend?
What was even more terrifying was that he was worried that his perfect disciple would be deceived by this fellow. If that rubbish were to capture her heart, her cultivation would be delayed and he would be a burden. That would not be worth it.
Now that the good-for-nothing was dead, Qian Xunji had no more worries.
'Well, is there anyone on the continent who is worthy of Dong'er other than me, myself?'
A sinful thought sprouted in his heart.
It was just that his disciple was still young and he couldn't tell her.
He would only make his move after she became an adult!
Unfortunately, Su Zhe's guess was still a delusion. Qian Xunji's evil thoughts would not disappear just because of Yu Xiaogang's death.
Everything was only a matter of time.
The next day.
Spirit City was bustling with noise and excitement, the upper three sects and lower four sects had sent their representatives to witness the coronation ceremony of Spirit Hall's saintess!
There were also others who came for the show.
"It's said that the saintess that Spirit Hall is going to coronate this time hasn't even reached twelve years old, but she's already a spirit elder. She's extraordinary!"
"Hiss, this innate talent is indeed astonishing. It's no wonder she can sit in the position of Spirit Hall's saintess at such a young age!"
"We can watch her from afar. I wonder who would end up marrying her! That man would have won the lottery!"
"You don't say! I know a student from the Spirit Hall Academy and was lucky enough to see this little girl from a distance. She's very pretty. I even had a thought of waiting for her to grow up so that I could marry her!"
"Bah! You think you're worthy of her?"
"Why am I not worthy? My spirit is the Vajra Scepter! Are there any women who wouldn't fall in love with it? Is there anyone who isn't head over heels for me?"
"Ha! Such a shallow man. Girls like suave and handsome men like me. Why would they care about your spirit?"
"Looks are the least valuable thing in the eyes of spirit masters."
"Wrong! That just means you're not handsome enough!"
"Then try seducing her."
"Forget about seducing. I'll just get her with my hands!"
"Pa!"
Suddenly, there was a loud slap heard and a figure flew through the air, forming a beautiful arc. Then, it finally fell into the garbage pile.
"Spirit City, known as the cradle of spirit masters, seems to have lots of lechers."
A beautiful young woman was holding a little girl's hand as she appeared. The rest of the spirit masters who were talking sh*t felt frightened. Fortunately, a middle-aged man came over and ordered his men, "Go and see which hand of his touched Madam, then cut off that hand of his."
"The Vice sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Yu Luomian!"
Someone called out the man's name and started pulling away his friends to avoid getting into trouble.
"What are you doing?"
"I heard that the useless young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect died. As his second uncle, Yu Luomian is probably still mad about it. Do you really want to mess with him?!"
"Fine! But, his wife is an eye candy. She's hot but charming."
"I advise you to give up on that idea. What's the use of being pretty? She's the woman of the vice sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect! Would you even have the balls to lay hands on her even if she lays naked on your bed?
"Hehe, what's there to be afraid of? Liu Fei is only a lover of Yu Luomian and he doesn't even have the balls to bring her back to the sect. I didn't expect that this time he would actually bring her to the coronation ceremony."
"I just didn't expect that Yu Luomian would have a child with her. This means that Yu Luomian probably would marry her, right?"
"I don't think that it'll be possible. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect highly values sect ranking and spirit master talent. Liu Fei is just a flower vase. She won't have a good life even if she's allowed to marry into the family."
"Poor Yu Luomian, he raised a good lover but he can't bring her home."
"You're a stag. Why do you care so much about a spirit expert with his concubines and wives? Aren't you just looking for trouble?"
Liu Fei timidly said to Yu Luomian, "This is Spirit City, Spirit Hall's territory, isn't that not very nice of you as a guest?"
"There's nothing bad about it. Nephew Yu died while studying at Spirit Hall Academy. Big brother and I had no place to vent our anger anyway. This person ran into us of his own accord. It's not my fault."
Yu Luomian revealed a smile and picked up the little girl who seemed to be only 4-5 years old.
"Alright, little Erlong! Let's go.
"Today, daddy has prepared a good show for you. You'll definitely enjoy it!"
It was obvious that the little girl was still in shock from the earlier conflict.
Or perhaps, the little girl was not familiar with Yu Luomian and looked a little shy. She could only repeat the same thing after being signalled by her mother, "Daddy!"
...
"Respected gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Spirit Hall! Welcome to the coronation ceremony of the saintess of Spirit Hall..."
Very quickly, the representatives of the various large sects and the people who had come to observe the ceremony took their seats. After the announcer made the announcement, he finally looked around at the crowd and revealed a smile.
"Now, each sect is allowed to send out three disciples between the ages of 10 to 15 to challenge our saintess!"
