After the soldiers withdrew, a short while later, a short brown-haired girl and a long blue-haired boy walked into the Papal Palace.
Upon seeing Bibi Dong, Hu Liena was the first to bow.
"Greetings, Teacher."
Yin Hao wasn't one to be ignorant of etiquette, and besides, they were on her turf, so he bowed
as well .
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."
Upon seeing Yin Hao, Bibi Dong frowned, then looked around blankly, her small, red lips slightly parted, seemingly in disbelief.
Hu Liena and Yin Hao, standing below, looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Hadn't the soldier said the Pope was extremely excited upon hearing the news of their arrival in Wuhun City? What was going on?
Although curious, neither of them asked, simply standing quietly, neither speaking nor leaving.
After about four or five minutes, Bibi Dong finally recovered, looking at Yin Hao, her voice trembling slightly.
"Your father...is he...alright?"
The question stunned Yin Hao. My father? Who is my father? How come I don't know anything about him? Does Bibi Dong know about my father? Did he not die in the aftermath of the battle between Tang Hao and Qian Xunji eleven years ago? Is he a reclusive powerhouse?
A series of guesses flooded Yin Hao's mind, but now was not the time to think about that. Yin Hao raised his head and said,
"Your Holiness, I have never seen my parents since birth. I was found and raised by the village chief of a small village. If Your Holiness knows anything about him, please let me know."
Hearing Yin Hao's answer, Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised and looked in Hu Liena's direction.
"Nana, couldn't he open the box I gave you?"
Hu Liena immediately replied.
"Teacher, I saw him open it with my own eyes. It was the method you taught me. The moment Yin Hao dripped his blood onto the box, the originally tightly closed box opened automatically."
Bibi Dong nodded, already having a guess in her mind, and looked back at Yin Hao's location.
"Since your father doesn't want you to know anything about him, there must be a reason. In that case, as his friend, I can't ruin his plans, can I? So I can't tell you about your father."
His friend?
Hu Liena looked at Yin Hao in shock. His father was a friend of her teacher?
Yin Hao was also very surprised. It seemed Bibi Dong knew his adoptive father, and they seemed to have a good relationship?
Since she had already put it this way, Yin Hao couldn't pester her, so he nodded in agreement.
Bibi Dong continued,
"I promised your father something back then, which was to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing?"
Yin Hao, upon hearing this, agreed without hesitation.
Bibi Dong nodded and took two items from the ring on her hand: a ring and a black box identical to the one before.
"This ring is a storage soul tool with a 500-cubic-meter storage space inside, capable of holding living beings. Consider it a gift from your master to you as you become your disciple."
"You've already seen this black box before; it was left to you by your father. The method to open it is the same as before. You… take it…"
Bibi Dong glanced at the black box again, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she still used her soul power to deliver it to Yin Hao.
Yin Hao picked up the storage ring, put it on his hand, and infused it with his spiritual power. Just as Bibi Dong had said, it had a large 500-cubic-meter space, capable of holding living beings. This was far superior to that 'Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon' that Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San.
Before Yin Hao could say anything in thanks, Bibi Dong gently pinched her forehead with her fingertips and waved to Yin Hao and Hu Liena.
"If there's nothing else, you can go now. Nana, go arrange a house for Xiao Hao."
Hu Liena quickly agreed.
"Yes, teacher."
Since they had said that, Yin Hao had no intention of staying any longer. After saying goodbye to Bibi Dong, he left with Hu Liena.
After the two of them left, Bibi Dong could no longer hold back.
Her beautiful face was filled with unconcealed sorrow, and she gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, a clear tear rolling down her cheek.
"Why? Why did you do this to me..."
...
After leaving the Papal Palace, Hu Liena arranged for someone to arrange a house for Yin Hao, specifically instructing that it be next to her own courtyard.
Hu Liena looked at Yin Hao beside her and called out.
"Hey..."
"I'm not calling you hey..."
Hu Liena rolled her eyes, starting to mock herself again.
"Okay, Yin Hao... no... junior brother~"
Hearing this address, Yin Hao's face darkened, but he didn't refute it.
On the contrary, Hu Liena couldn't help but laugh after calling him that, as if making Yin Hao lose face was something to be happy about.
Seeing that Hu Liena's laughter was endless, Yin Hao directly interrupted her.
"Is there something you need?"
However, Hu Liena didn't seem inclined to let Yin Hao off the hook. She withdrew her smile and looked at him seriously.
"Junior brother! Remember, you have to be polite when you talk to your senior sister! You can't just ask, 'Is there something you need?' You should say, 'May I ask what's wrong, senior sister?'"
Seeing that Hu Liena wasn't going to stop, Yin Hao turned and left, not bothering to waste
any more words. With a woman like Hu Liena, proud to the core, the more humble you are, the less she'll respect you (for specific examples, please refer to the golden sycophant—Yan). If you're cold towards her, it will only pique her curiosity more.
Seeing Yin Hao about to leave, Hu Liena quickly grabbed him.
"Alright, I won't say anything more, okay? But I am, after all, your senior sister. Can't you at least show some basic respect?"
"Oh? Respect?"
Yin Hao's lips curled slightly upwards.
"Alright, when I became your apprentice, my master gave me a 'change of address' fee. A 500-cubic-meter storage ring would cost at least... 200,000 gold soul coins, right?
If you want me to change my address, you should at least show some sincerity, shouldn't you? Forget about 200,000, judging from your appearance, you can't afford that. Just give me 100,000 to make do." "
100,000?"
Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise.
"Why don't you just rob someone?"
To her surprise, Yin Hao didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he looked at Hu Liena with a puzzled expression.
"Rob? Is robbing more profitable than this?"
Hu Liena was speechless for a moment. Indeed, those who usually rob people would swing their knives until they were smoking, and they still couldn't get 100,000 gold soul coins. It was definitely not as profitable as this.
