บท 3203: Chapter 3188: The Eve of the Event_1

Martial Soul Hall, inside the grand hall!

Seated on the Pope's Chair, Bi Bidong's expression faintly revealed some displeasure...

She had already been waiting for about half an hour, but still not a single person had appeared!

She then glanced sideways at Yueguan, who stood beside her, and questioned, "Yueguan, are you sure you have informed Evil Moon and the others?"

Upon hearing this, the latter could not help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and bowed in response, "Yes, Your Holiness, I have already informed them yesterday!!"

Damn it, why haven't those guys arrived yet, this has already caused the displeasure of Your Holiness!

If they are any later, even I will be subject to punishment!!

As for Gui Mei, he calmly spoke, "Your Holiness, perhaps Evil Moon and the others have been delayed by some unforeseen accident!"

However, Bi Bidong could not accept this excuse and coldly reprimanded, "What accident could be more important than coming to see me? If you cannot provide an explanation that satisfies me..."

She did not finish her sentence, but the implication was already crystal clear!

She would definitely not let them off lightly!!

Upon seeing this, both could only bow their heads and say, "Your Holiness, please calm your anger!"

All they could do was pray in their hearts that Evil Moon and the others would arrive soon!!

Finally, after waiting a few more minutes, Evil Moon and the others entered the grand hall...

After bowing, they all spoke with respectful tones, "Your Holiness (Teacher)"

Bi Bidong observed them with an icy gaze and said, word by word, "Do you still respect me as your Pope? Making me wait nearly half an hour!"

Evil Moon and the others immediately felt an intense pressure rise, unintentionally starting to breathe heavily...

Seeing this, Hulena stepped forward and said again, "Teacher, please listen to our explanation!"

Bi Bidong did not reveal any emotion, but simply said, "Fine, I will give you a chance to explain!"

Hulena let out a sigh of relief; as long as the teacher was willing to give them a chance to explain, that was good enough!

With that in mind, she spoke with a serious tone, "As we were about to rush over, Flame's bottleneck suddenly loosened, and for his safety, my brother and I decided to act as protectors for him"

"This resulted in our half-hour delay!"

Hearing this, Bi Bidong's gaze fixed on Flame, and a vast spiritual power surged out, conducting a full inspection of him...

She immediately discovered that his aura was extremely unsteady, indeed he had just broken through!

Bi Bidong's expression then eased slightly, "Alright, this is barely an excuse, so I will not blame you!"

Evil Moon and Flame looked at each other, both seeing the stroke of luck in each other's eyes...

Especially the latter, who didn't even dare to breathe more loudly when he was targeted by the spiritual power...

"Thank you, Your Holiness!!"

Only then did Bi Bidong retract her spiritual power and continued, "The reason I called you here, you all know why, right?"

Hulena nodded in affirmation, "Yes, teacher, because tomorrow is the day of the friendship competition!"

Bi Bidong did not deny it but instead responded, "Correct, tomorrow is the day of the friendship competition, which also means it's time to test the results of your training!"

Evil Moon abruptly interjected, "That... Your Holiness, although we know the friendship competition is tomorrow, the specific location?"

Flame immediately nodded in agreement, "Yeah, yeah, if the location has changed, should we go there in advance to prepare a bit?"

Although the venue had a minimal impact on the battle, they didn't want it to cause any unexpected issues!

Bi Bidong waved her hand dismissively, "No need, because the competition will be held as usual in Martial Soul City!!"

Since Emperor Xue Ye had given her the authority to decide, there was naturally no need for formalities!

Receiving the answer, Evil Moon then mused, "Martial Soul City? In that case, I feel relieved!"

They were as familiar with Martial Soul City as one could be, and coupled with their strong abilities, they basically had the advantage of the terrain!

Flame said with some excitement, "If the event is held in Martial Soul City, wouldn't we be sure to win?"

Hulena lowered her voice and reminded, "Flame, don't speak so absolutely. If we don't end up winning..."

Bi Bidong's expression became serious as she took over the conversation, "If we don't win, then every member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation will lose their privileged access to resources!"

"And Nana, you will also be stripped of your status as a goddess!"

As her words fell, Hulena was taken aback at first, but quickly, without changing her expression, said, "Yes, Teacher, we will certainly win!"

If they failed, they would bring shame upon themselves, claiming to be the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall!

What significance did the title of goddess hold anyway?

It was only then that Bi Bidong showed a satisfied look, "Alright, since the competition is tomorrow, I won't say anything else to avoid putting pressure on you."

Upon hearing this, Flame muttered in his heart, "Pope Your Holiness, the pressure you've put on us is already enormous, it would've been better if you hadn't said a thing!"

Evil Moon and Hulena could only force a few wry smiles...

Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes suddenly became piercing, "Additionally, where is Xu Sheng? Isn't he with you?"

Only now did she realize that Xu Sheng had not come with them!

Hulena blinked her beautiful eyes in surprise, saying, "Teacher, didn't you only summon us? Xu Sheng seemed to have left the Pope Hall this morning!"

Bi Bidong frowned, "Left the Pope Hall? Do you know where he went?"

This guy, doesn't he know that the upper three families have already marked him as their target?

And yet he dares to leave the Pope Hall on his own!

The former simply shook her head, "Xu Sheng did not tell us the details, just that he would return to the Pope Hall soon."

Bi Bidong suddenly lost interest, "Is that so? Then let it be!"

Since she had already informed Hulena and the others in advance, she presumed he did not plan to leave for long and it wasn't necessary to know too much!

"Yueguan!"

Yueguan immediately responded, "Pope Your Holiness, what are your instructions?"

Bi Bidong ordered without mincing words, "You will be responsible for arranging the venue for the friendly match. It must be completed by tonight!"

Yueguan placed a hand over his chest, "Yes, Your Holiness, I guarantee the friendly match will proceed as normal tomorrow!"

After all, the venue for the friendly match was already more than half-built, and it would not take much longer to finish!

Bi Bidong then said, "Gui Mei!"

Gui Mei didn't speak but silently met her gaze...

The former then commanded, "Your task will be to go to the imperial palace and inform Emperor Xue Ye about the friendly match being held in Martial Soul City!"

Hearing this, Gui Mei hesitated, "This... Your Holiness, I..."

Ever since he was caught by the Jincroc Elder in the Worship Hall last time, he had lost confidence in his own stealth abilities!

Bi Bidong gave him an unquestionable look, "What? Do you have a problem with my arrangements?"

Gui Mei instantly changed his attitude, shaking his head vigorously, "No... no problem, I will head to the imperial palace to convey the message immediately!"

Forget it, it was just a trip to the imperial palace, which was nothing like the dragon's den that the Worship Hall was!
