Upon returning to Wuhun City.
Xie Yue and Yan each departed with Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
Due to the events of the Secret Chamber years ago, Bibi Dong harbored an intense psychological aversion to men.
Although she had accepted Xie Yue and Yan as nominal disciples.
That was merely a nominal title; the daily teaching duties.
Fell entirely upon the shoulders of the Chrysanthemum and Ghost duo.
While Bibi Dong was solely responsible for Hu Liena's instruction.
Hu Liena composed herself and arrived at the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
It was currently high noon.
In a rare occurrence, Bibi Dong was not working overtime reviewing documents.
Instead, she was reclining on her bed in a languid posture.
Enjoying this hard-won moment of quiet rest.
She rested her cheek on one hand, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.
Her peerlessly beautiful face was etched with weariness.
Her long, slender, and well-proportioned legs, clad in black stockings.
Were stretched straight out on the couch.
It must be said, Qian Xunji really had good taste back in the day.
Creak... The doors of the Supreme Pontiff Palace slowly opened.
Hu Liena tiptoed in.
But upon seeing her teacher resting.
She turned around, intending to leave.
Just as Hu Liena took a step, Bibi Dong's voice rang out.
"Ah, it's Nana. What brings you to me?"
Bibi Dong was seen sitting up on the bed, though it was unclear when she had done so, quietly watching her good disciple.
"This disciple was thoughtless, disturbing your rest, Teacher."
"Please do not be angry."
Hu Liena gave a slight bow, her face full of apology and respect.
"Hah! Since that incident, how many times in all these years have I truly rested well..."
At this point.
She couldn't help but recall what had happened in the Secret Chamber years ago.
Every time she thought of this.
Bibi Dong's negative emotions would surge uncontrollably.
Her expression would twist, her eyes filling with hatred.
"T-Teacher... are you alright?"
Seeing her teacher in this state, Hu Liena couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Thinking her teacher's anger was due to her own interruption.
Hearing her disciple's words, Bibi Dong snapped back to reality.
Simultaneously realizing she had just lost her composure.
She hurriedly adjusted her emotions and asked gently, "Nana, didn't I arrange for the three of you to train at the Soul Dueling Arena today? It hasn't been long, why are you back already?"
Suddenly, her tone turned stern.
"Don't tell me you think, now that you're Spirit Kings, that no one among your peers can defeat you, and your inflated confidence made you think of slacking off?"
"No, Teacher." Seeing her teacher's expression turn serious.
Hu Liena hurriedly explained, "On our way to the Soul Dueling Arena today, we unexpectedly ran into Jin Mian."
"Jin Mian? I see, so you challenged him again?" Bibi Dong immediately understood and pressed, "What was the result?"
Hu Liena lowered her head like an ostrich.
Seeing her beloved disciple's posture, Bibi Dong didn't need to think to know they had been defeated again.
However, unlike the first time she learned Hu Liena and the others had been defeated by Jin Mian, she did not get angry.
Instead, she nodded with extreme calm.
After all, over these past few years.
She had long grown accustomed to this outcome.
"It's fine, a defeat is just a defeat."
"By the way, did this duel force Jin Mian to release his Martial Soul?"
Bibi Dong inquired with great curiosity.
Hu Liena shook her head.
"Sigh~" Bibi Dong let out a long sigh and said, "I never expected that even after the three of you have reached the Spirit King realm, you still aren't a match for Jin Mian alone."
At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder.
Was her teaching ability truly that poor? Or was Jin Mian simply too monstrous?
"Teacher, this time we weren't just challenging Jin Mian alone, but also that Ye Lingling."
Hu Liena recounted the situation on the field.
