The report went up the chain of command, eventually reaching Chrysanthemum Pass.
He frowned, "No wonder Her Majesty the Pope took notice. She truly has remarkable qualities."
"Her second spirit ring is a thousand-year ring, and it was a soul beast's voluntary sacrifice."
"This little girl must have a huge secret!"
"Someone with such talent can't be just anyone, nor will she remain hidden in a corner."
Chrysanthemum Pass muttered to himself, then strode into the Pope's Hall.
"Your Majesty the Pope, the girl you asked me to keep an eye on, she truly has outstanding abilities."
Bibi Dong, on her throne, crossed her legs and said, "Speak."
"Her second spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring, and a Soul Beast voluntarily sacrificed itself to her."
Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and a curve formed at the corner of her mouth. "Interesting, interesting. The second spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring, and a Soul Beast voluntarily sacrificed itself."
"Also, Her Majesty the Pope has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect backing her, and her father seems to have a significant background."
"I wonder what plans Her Majesty the Pope has?"
Bibi Dong tapped her jade hand on the seat. "Having the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect backing her, it's really not easy to touch her."
"Have you found out about her father?"
Chrysanthemum Pass lowered his head. "Replying to Her Majesty the Pope, this subordinate is incompetent. There's no trace at all, it's impossible to find out."
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes. "No trace of this person?"
"Yes, it's as if she appeared out of nowhere. I suspect..."
"Suspect what?"
"That her father is a reclusive powerhouse?"
"Alright, I understand. You may leave. Don't focus on her anymore."
Chrysanthemum Pass's expression shifted slightly. "Your Majesty the Pope, are you just going to let such a genius go?"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Bibi Dong frowned, her tone filled with impatience.
Chrysanthemum Pass was immediately intimidated by Bibi Dong's aura. "Yes, Your Majesty the Pope."
He immediately left, understanding the situation.
After Chrysanthemum Pass departed, Bibi Dong looked up at the ceiling, a painful memory surfacing in her mind.
"Heh…"
"Since they're both women, let's see who's superior."
"I want to see who's better."
The person she was referring to was naturally Bibi Dong's own flesh and blood, Qian Renxue, who was going to compete with Chen Qingling.
With her talent, she wasn't much worse than Qian Renxue.
Time flew by, and half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
Notting Academy had a winter break as scheduled.
Inside the Work-Study Student Dormitory, everyone except Chen Qingling and Xiao Wu were packing their luggage.
"Sister Qingling, Sister Xiao Wu, why aren't you packing?"
"It's a long winter break, aren't you going home?"
"Home…" Chen Qingling's eyelids twitched. Mentioning home inevitably stirred up feelings of longing. She missed the happy times with her father in the Thatched Cottage.
Unfortunately, she could never go back. It was all because of her burning passion.
Without finding her mother, Chen Qingling wouldn't have the face to go home.
Xiao Wu's experiences were actually quite similar to hers; both had come from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Both were experiencing the outside world for the first time, one to increase her strength to avenge her mother, the other to increase her strength to find hers.
Neither had a home to go back to.
They were truly a pair of kindred spirits.
"What's wrong? Sister Qingling? You wouldn't have secretly run away from home, would you?"
Wang Sheng suddenly thought of a possibility.
After all, in their eyes, Sister Qingling was a wealthy person, and she was also friendly to others, a genuinely good person.
It was just that such a person was still willing to spend time with them.
There are still many good people in the world.
He was about to cry.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Chen Qingling coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Wang Sheng looked at Xiao Wu, "What about you, Xiao Wu? Is your home too far away?"
Xiao Wu was silent for a moment, then gave a dry laugh, "I don't have a home." "Ah?!"
"How could that be..."
"What about your family?"
"My family is gone," Xiao Wu lowered her head, looking dejected, her pair of rabbit ears drooping.
Wang Sheng's mouth hung slightly open, and he wished he could slap himself a few times.
Why did I even ask! I really should die!
To once again expose someone's scars, the pain involved was self-evident.
If there weren't so many people present, he would have slapped himself a few times.
"That... Sister Xiao Wu... I'm sorry..."
Xiao Wu shook her head, "It's not your fault."
The calmer Xiao Wu became, the more Wang Sheng's heart felt blocked with worry.
Chen Qingling widened her eyes, staring at Xiao Wu in disbelief.
She never expected that Xiao Wu, who was carefree and always wore a smile, had lost all of her family.
"Xiao Wu…" Chen Qingling couldn't help but reach out and tug on Xiao Wu's sleeve.
"Sister Qingling, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
After a moment of tense silence, the work-study students began to say their goodbyes.
"Sister Qingling, Sister Xiao Wu, thank you for taking care of us, we're leaving now."
"Go on, go on."
Soon, only Chen Qingling and Xiao Wu remained in the large work-study student dormitory.
As luck would have it, Tang San had just returned from outside and saw only the two girls left in the dormitory, his eyes lighting up.
"Xiao Wu, aren't you going back? How about you come with me?"
"I'll take you back to the village."
"No need, get lost." Xiao Wu didn't even glance at Tang San, she barked in anger.
Facing Tang San's persistent attempts to cling to them, Xiao Wu's attitude was extremely hostile.
She had never seen anyone so shameless; Tang San had truly opened her eyes.
Some people were just disgusting when they were so brazen.
"Xiao Wu, don't be angry. I just thought you didn't have anywhere to go, right?"
Chen Qingling crossed her arms. "Who said we don't have anywhere to go?"
She had already decided, she would go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect during the winter break.
To see her two nominal masters, and most importantly, her friend Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong was the first close friend Chen Qingling had made; naturally, she would often miss her.
"Xiao Wu, let's go."
"Okay."
Chen Qingling stuffed her luggage into her spatial soul tool and then held Xiao Wu's hand as they left the Work-Study Student Dormitory.
They couldn't stay a moment longer where those annoying flies were.
Tang San watched the two girls' backs as they walked away, grinding his teeth.
"Damn it…"
"Why can't they just accept me once? I haven't done anything to hurt them!"
"Why do they keep rejecting me!"
Tang San still hasn't considered that he might have done something wrong.
His double standards were ingrained in his very being, in his subconscious.
As the old saying goes: once a double-standard person, always a double-standard person!
On the other side, the two women walked out of Notting Academy and hailed a luxurious carriage, then sat down.
"Sister Qingling, where are we going?"
"To the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Huh? Go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Xiao Wu had learned a little about what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was during her six months of studying at the academy.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the three most famous sects on the continent, with two Title Douluo-level powerhouses in charge.
Given her identity as a Soul Beast, wouldn't going there expose her? But Xiao Wu still chose to trust Chen Qingling. She was such a nice person; she definitely wouldn't harm her.
If she really wanted to hurt her, there would be no need to specifically choose the winter break, right?
