That Is Not My Sister But Bibi Dong?!

Hu Liena's mind was in turmoil for a moment.

She had only known Ye Tian for a day!

They weren't familiar with each other at all!

But this was her teacher's command...

This put her in a difficult decision.

Seeing Hu Liena's struggling expression, Bibi Dong smiled, gently patting her shoulder in comfort:

"Teacher is just suggesting it. You are like half a daughter to me. I won't force you to do anything that goes against your will."

Deep down, she was quite happy to see Ye Tian and Hu Liena together.

They were a perfect match—an ideal couple.

This was undoubtedly the best union.

It could not only bring Ye Tian closer to them but also secure a good future for Nanna (Hu Liena).

Hu Liena was the future successor of the Pope, gifted and beautiful, so Ye Tian wouldn't be losing out by marrying her.

But in the end, it all depended on Hu Liena's personal choice.

As someone who had experienced hardship in life, and had been a failed mother, she didn't want to become a failed teacher.

Hearing her teacher's gentle words, Hu Liena felt warmth in her heart. She raised her head seriously and said:

"Teacher, I understand your intention. Ye Tian is indeed outstanding, but marriage is something that requires mutual understanding. Please give me some time to get to know Ye Tian."

Bibi Dong stroked Hu Liena's hair, nodded slightly, and said:

"Alright, then we'll set a one-month period. During this time, you can spend more time with Ye Tian, or test him if you wish."

"If you are willing, I'll make the decision and marry you to him."

"If you feel it's not suitable, that's fine. I'll select another outstanding girl from the Spirit Hall to marry Ye Tian."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's heart skipped a beat.

After all, marriage was a big deal. Wasn't one month too rushed?

But she knew this was already a great favor from her teacher.

She was being given a chance to make mistakes.

Ye Tian was very important to the Spirit Hall, and they had to bring him in.

If it were someone else as Pope, they might have directly arranged the marriage without allowing her to object.

Hu Liena gazed at the moon outside the window and nodded in agreement. "Teacher, I understand."

After a while, she snapped out of her thoughts and remembered what happened with Xiao Xin today, saying:

"Teacher, the East Sea City Spirit Hall is too despicable. Are we just going to let this go? Why don't we let Uncle Yue Guan deal with the Zhou family?"

When she said this, Hu Liena showed no emotion, and her eyes even turned cold.

Although she often laughed cheerfully in front of Ye Tian, the number of lives taken by her hands wasn't small.

Bibi Dong waved her jade hand lightly, saying with calm indifference:

"Dealing with a family in the East Sea City Spirit Hall doesn't solve the problem of Spirit Halls across the continent. If Yue Guan acts officially, it might alert the other families in other cities."

"There's no need to rush. Zhou's grandson had his spirit crippled by Xiao Tian, and they certainly won't let it go. They'll surely send people to retaliate."

"I'm rather curious to see how Xiao Tian will handle this tricky situation."

Hu Liena nodded in understanding, raising her hand, "I see, teacher. You want to test Ye Tian's abilities."

Bibi Dong smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

"It's getting late, rest now."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena giggled and hugged Bibi Dong's soft waist, pressing close to her:

"Sleeping with teacher is the best."

"You're grown up now, still clinging to me like this." Bibi Dong scolded softly with a light nasal tone, but in her heart, she felt a sense of comfort. She had truly given all her maternal love to Nanna.

…

East Sea City.

In the Zhou family's council hall.

The room echoed with cries of agony from lashings, while several doctors knelt in terror, not daring to look at the thin, elderly man seated at the head.

"Useless, all of you!" The thin elder's eyes bulged with anger, his body radiating the powerful pressure of a Spirit Doulou.

This was Zhou Qiankun, the Zhou family patriarch and the head of the East Sea City Spirit Hall.

The doctors being lashed grimaced in pain, pleading, "Please spare us, Hall Master Zhou! There's nothing we can do to restore Young Master Zhou's spirit!"

Who would have thought that Zhou Wu, accompanied by a Spirit Emperor-level bodyguard, would be crippled during a trip to the countryside?

Not only had his spirit been destroyed, but he was also turned into a vegetable!

When they carried him back to the Zhou family, he couldn't even speak.

Hearing the doctors' excuses, Zhou Qiankun's veins bulged, and with a heavy slap, the nearby sandalwood table shattered.

"You useless fools! Guards, take them away! If my grandson doesn't wake up today, execute them all!"

At these words, the doctors collectively fell to their knees, begging for mercy.

Yet no one dared to speak up on their behalf.

Soon after, a squad of soldiers clad in black armor entered, dragging the doctors out of the council hall by their legs.

With the doctors' screams gone, the hall fell into a chilling silence, and no one dared to speak.

Everyone knew that Zhou Wu was the most promising of the younger generation in the Zhou family, and Zhou Qiankun's favorite grandson.

When Zhou Wu was carried back in such a state, Zhou Qiankun was so enraged he spat blood several times.

At this moment, anyone pleading for mercy would only be asking for death.

At that moment, a burly middle-aged man wearing a white crown stepped forward, his face brimming with fury.

This was Zhou Wu's father, Zhou Doupo.

With anger overflowing, Zhou Doupo glared at Zhou Qiankun and knelt, saying, "Father, is this it? Xiao Wu is your pride and joy!"

His son had been turned into a vegetable, and Zhou Doupo was devastated!

The Zhou family was the leader of the Four Great Families of East Sea City, and the family had been the head of the East Sea City Spirit Hall for generations!

Who would dare to target his family?

"Of course, it's not over!" Zhou Qiankun's nostrils flared with rage, his old face wrinkling deeply. "Do they think the Zhou family is so easy to bully?"

He clenched his fists, bones cracking audibly, "This time, I'll not only take all of Ye Tian's wealth, but I'll also make him pay with his life! And his sister—she'll become Wu'er's eternal slave!"

After finishing, he looked toward a kneeling figure in the corner of the hall and asked sternly, "Hei Ba, step forward and tell me about Ye Tian's strength."

Hei Ba, trembling with fear, came forward and said, "Master, I didn't see Ye Tian make a move, but one of his followers, a Spirit Emperor, had a spirit ring configuration of purple, black, black, black, black, and red! Please reconsider, Master, Ye Tian seems dangerous!"

Zhou Doupo sneered, "Is that your excuse for avoiding punishment? Even a Titled Douluo would struggle with the backlash from a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring! You're telling me a mere Spirit Emperor has such rings? Absurd!"

Hei Ba prostrated himself, touching his head to the ground, "Master, Young Master, every word I say is true!"

Zhou Qiankun flicked his sleeve in anger and coldly snorted, "As the head of the East Sea City Spirit Hall, even I've never seen such an abnormal person! You must have been confused by some spirit ability!"

"Always undermining our power while boosting the enemy's!"

Hearing this, Hei Ba realized his mistake.

Yes, how could a Spirit Emperor have such an extraordinary spirit ring configuration?

It must have been some deceptive tactic.

Hei Ba silently regretted not launching a direct attack sooner—perhaps Ye Tian would've already been captured!

Knowing he couldn't escape punishment for Zhou Wu's condition, Hei Ba hurriedly knelt again and said:

"Patriarch, I volunteer to lead the charge against Ye Tian this time!"

"In recognition of your loyalty to the Zhou family, I'll allow you to redeem yourself through this mission." Zhou Qiankun flicked his sleeve with a light humph. Then, he swept his cold gaze across the gathered Zhou family members and declared icily:

"Pass down my order: summon all the family's strongest fighters. In three days, we'll capture Ye Tian!"

Zhou Doupo hesitated, "Father, relying solely on our family's strength, is that wise? Ye Tian, to have risen so quickly in just three years, must have considerable power."

"Hmph, I've already contacted the other three great families in the city. In three days, our Four Great Families will unite to destroy Ye Tian and divide his wealth!"
