Bab 82: Two Letters
When Ye Tian and Chen Jian were discussing the Lightning Chamber of Commerce, the members of the Lightning Chamber had just arrived in East Sea City.
Leading them was a refined young man, riding a brown steed.
Beside him, an old servant named Gao Yao respectfully asked, "Young Master Tianheng, where will we stay?"
"Of course, we'll stay at the best hotel," Yu Tianheng responded while carefully examining the buildings of East Sea City and observing the crowds. He praised, "The security here is quite good."
Gao Yao chuckled and explained, "Recently, the four major families of East Sea City were wiped out by an unknown force, and Elder She Long of the Spirit Hall has taken control. Naturally, the security is excellent."
"That's also why we chose East Sea City as our base. With a titled Douluo stationed here, no one dares to act recklessly."
Yu Tianheng, however, was a bit impatient with Gao Yao's explanation.
"The business matters are for you all to handle. I don't know why my father made me come and oversee this personally!"
He was indeed feeling some resentment.
As a Rank 53 Spirit King, his primary focus should be on cultivation.
Handling mundane business matters felt beneath his status.
Gao Yao, however, explained respectfully, "Young Master Tianheng, the family head is doing this for your own good. Continuous cultivation won't lead to rapid improvement."
"In the path of cultivation, one should balance effort and relaxation for long-term progress."
"You all certainly have a way with words," Yu Tianheng snorted, flicking his sleeves.
He stared at Gao Yao earnestly and warned, "But let me remind you, even though my father sent me here, I won't get involved in the business."
"I've heard that the sea spirit masters here are quite formidable. Go find me a few sparring partners—I want to train in actual combat."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yao felt a bit helpless.
Young Master Tianheng was excellent in every way, but he was too obsessed with cultivation.
Still, Gao Yao understood.
After all, Yu Tianheng was the heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, carrying an immense burden.
"I understand."
In the end, Gao Yao agreed to Yu Tianheng's request. With the family head absent, Yu Tianheng's words were orders he couldn't disobey.
Meanwhile, in the Spirit Division Hall in East Sea City, Elder She Long had two sealed documents on his desk.
Staring at the two letters, She Long hesitated.
The sources of these two documents were far too targeted.
One was from the Elder Hall, and the other was from the Pope, Bibi Dong.
She Long was a relatively neutral elder within the Spirit Hall. He wasn't particularly loyal to Qian Dao Liu, nor did he pay much attention to Bibi Dong.
He simply did his duties conscientiously.
Although he hadn't entered the core power circle of the Spirit Hall, he was still a distinguished high-ranking member, known for his diligence.
As an outsider, She Long understood clearly that the Pope's Hall and the Elder Hall were engaged in both overt and covert struggles.
"I hope I won't be dragged into this," She Long prayed silently.
He then made up his mind and opened the letter from Bibi Dong first.
After all, the Pope was currently in East Sea, and although She Long didn't know what secret business she was up to, he knew that Bibi Dong was strict about time.
If it weren't for something very important, she wouldn't have stayed by the coast of East Sea for nearly two months.
As She Long read the letter and recognized the handwriting, he breathed a small sigh of relief.
This letter wasn't personally written by Bibi Dong, meaning it wasn't an official document.
If necessary, She Long could choose not to follow it, without violating the rules of the Spirit Hall.
However, as he continued reading, his expression grew more serious.
"Qian Renxue was seriously injured?"
She Long's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that Qian Renxue was currently posing as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
If this incident were exposed, it could be disastrous.
The relationship between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall was already strained.
If Qian Renxue's true identity were revealed, the entire continent could be plunged into chaos.
At the end of the letter, Bibi Dong ordered a thorough investigation into the Qian Gu Family.
She Long's heart was heavy.
He knew that if Qian Renxue wasn't avenged, both Bibi Dong and Qian Dao Liu would be difficult to appease.
But the problem was that Qian Renxue was currently the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Although the Qian Gu Family had ties to the evil spirit masters, under normal circumstances, the Spirit Hall would be pleased to see the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire in trouble.
Why would they help the empire deal with its enemies?
So, it would be unwise to act rashly.
"Those involved often lose perspective," She Long sighed softly.
As a mother, Bibi Dong's emotions were likely in turmoil, but as an elder of the Spirit Hall, She Long couldn't neglect his duty to the organization.
"It's best to hold off on dealing with the Qian Gu Family for now and see how the Heaven Dou Empire responds," She Long pondered.
He set aside the paper and opened the second letter, which had come from Spirit City.
After inspecting the handwriting, he immediately recognized that this letter was from Qian Dao Liu himself.
Realizing the importance of the letter, She Long took a deep breath before reading it.
As he read, his expression grew even more solemn.
The contents of this letter were far more serious than the Pope's, and it concerned Bibi Dong.
"Reassigning officials? Implementing it across the board?"
Upon reading these words, She Long put down the letter with a sharp snap.
There was no denying that Bibi Dong's idea was a brilliant reform.
However, such a large-scale reshuffle would turn the Spirit Hall upside down!
The families that had depended on the Spirit Hall had been entrenched in their local regions for hundreds of years, deeply integrated with their communities.
It would be no small feat to uproot them.
Qian Dao Liu had pointed this out in the letter, expressing his strong disapproval.
He even harshly criticized Bibi Dong: "Just because you are the Pope, don't think you can act recklessly. I am still alive!"
Reading this, She Long could already imagine Qian Dao Liu's imposing and stern face.
He felt a deep sense of frustration as he re-read the letter.
He knew that Qian Dao Liu wasn't just venting but had a significant task for him.
"No matter how much I try to avoid it, I'm still caught in the struggle between the Pope's Hall and the Elder Hall," She Long sighed.
He continued reading, and sure enough, at the end of the letter, Qian Dao Liu instructed him to personally deliver the letter to Bibi Dong and warn her not to act recklessly.
Otherwise, her time as Pope would come to an end.
She Long shuddered.
How could he dare to confront Bibi Dong?
Bibi Dong had held the position of Pope for over a decade, maintaining her power with ease.
Her strength was not to be underestimated.
How could a mere elder like him reprimand her?
This was like pushing him into the fire!
But Qian Dao Liu's order was one he couldn't refuse.
She Long's face grew even more bitter.
It seemed that meeting the Pope was inevitable.
