Chapter 182 Your Love Is Too Cheap (Two in One)
"I understand," Qian Daoliu nodded, "You are now in the golden stage of improving your strength, so you can't delay your own practice."
In fact, if Su Cheng hadn't been unable to return to the Sea God Island, he might not have made this decision.
Although Qian Daoliu himself is not selfish, and there is no bad intention, the Spirit Hall is his obsession after all, and Bibi Dong is the hope of the Spirit Hall's future. Regarding her training, it is natural that she cannot be completely entrusted to an outsider, let alone the heirs of other forces.
He looked at Su Cheng and said bluntly: "Cheng Xue, what Ji'er did today may leave a shadow in Bibi Dong's heart. Fortunately, it did not cause irreversible serious consequences. I hope you can help enlighten her. You may not know that Bibi Dong has the talent of twin spirits, so Ji'er made such a big mistake."
Su Cheng couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.
He was indeed prepared to train Bibi Dong and wait until he returned to the Sea God Island as his helper in the future.
But at this point, he has actually done enough.
In total, Bibi Dong has been saved twice, so it is not too much to give her a chance to help in the future.
Qianxunji, an elder who is very important to her, has made such a move again, which is enough to make her mature quickly.
At this point, there is no need for the rest to continue to show up, just hide behind the scenes and give some advice, so as not to let her go astray.
Because of the impact of the simulated world on reality, he does not want to have too much contact with Bibi Dong.
Seeing him silent, Qian Daoliu continued to persuade: "Don't worry, it's just practicing together. You decide the daily time. It won't take up too much of your energy. Bibi Dong has many elders in the Spirit Hall who can guide her. As a thank you, the resources in the Spirit Hall will be open to you. If you need any help, you can ask at any time."
Seeing that the other party said so, Su Cheng couldn't refuse anymore, so he nodded and agreed to it.
At the same time, he secretly decided to return to the Sea God Island within ten years.
The reason for limiting such a time period is that when he was on the Sea God Island before, he and Bo Saixi had been together for more than ten years.
As long as it does not exceed this time limit, it should not be a big problem.
In addition, I have been hiding my appearance and name, so even if Bibi Dong can really remember some fragments, it will not have any impact.
"Okay, senior, I can give it a try."
The next day, Su Cheng took the initiative to walk towards the Pope's Palace in the morning.
Bibi Dong finally decided to stay in the Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu had already greeted her and mentioned the general arrangement of future training.
At this time, Su Cheng was ready to see how the other party's mental state was, and what specific changes had occurred after yesterday's incident.
He was still playing with an elder token in his hand.
This was given to him by Qian Daoliu, representing the identity of the honorary elder of the Spirit City. The respective masters of the three sects on the Douluo Continent also have one.
Although Su Cheng did not care about this kind of thing, it would be much more convenient to travel on the continent in the future with it.
When Su Cheng came to the outside of the Pope's Palace, he found that the other party had been waiting in advance near the square in front of the palace at the door.
Bibi Dong did not change her clothes today, still wearing the simple saintly attire she wore before. Her temperament seemed to have changed a little, and her face looked a little gloomy, as if she had not rested well.
Looking from a distance, Su Cheng could not help but sigh inwardly.
It must be said that no matter Bibi Dong in her youth or her in another world, no matter what their temperaments were, no matter what flaws their character backgrounds had, their appearance was indeed impeccable.
She was not tall, a little shorter than Qian Renxue, but it did not affect the overall sense at all, as if this posture was the most perfect fit for her.
Her tight waist, round hips and slender legs looked extremely coordinated, not weak at all, and her perfect upper body curves exuded amazing charm all the time.
She seemed to have noticed Su Cheng's arrival, her eyes moved slightly, and then she took the initiative to greet him.
While walking, even if she did not deliberately swing her body, she still showed a moving style.
Moreover, Bibi Dong did not have the majestic spirit of a pope now, but her beauty was more prominent.
Beyond the curve of her chest, the delicate and deep facial features on the swan-like white long neck were like stone carvings. A pair of dark eyes were clear and bright, crystal clear, and under the tall and straight nose, the soft red lips were gorgeous and attractive.
Even without the blessing of her status, she was still a first-class beauty in the world.
"Cheng Xue, you are here." After coming closer, Bibi Dong seemed to have calmed down from yesterday's incident, and all kinds of emotions had been deeply hidden in her heart. Except for her slightly haggard face, there were not many clues.
She bowed gently and said gratefully: "Thank you for helping me yesterday."
Su Cheng did not refuse, and accepted her gift frankly, and then said: "Has the great worshiper told you?"
"Yes, he asked me to practice with you in the future." Bibi Dong nodded gently, and a blush appeared on her face while speaking.
Qian Daoliu also talked to her about a lot of other things yesterday, but it was not easy to tell Su Cheng those things.
Su Cheng did not notice her change of expression at that moment, turned around and said: "Let's go to the library first today, and talk on the way."
Bibi Dong would naturally not refuse, and the two of them walked towards the library together.
"Bibi Dong, you have to remember the feeling of powerlessness you felt in the desperate situation yesterday, and then bravely face your own shortcomings. If you want to control your own destiny, only if you are strong enough can you have this opportunity. The weak have no say."
Su Cheng said seriously as he walked, "I can protect you, not because I am reasonable, but because I am strong enough. In this world, reason does not make sense. After all, there are only a few people like Da Chongfeng. Yesterday What I said is not false. If I pay a certain price, I am sure that I can escape unscathed."
"Don't the weak have the right to speak..." Bibi Dong followed him and repeated in a low voice, "I understand."
"On Poseidon Island, where I was born, every soul master must accept the Poseidon test when he is eighteen years old. If he fails, he will be expelled from Poseidon Island. Therefore, although Poseidon Island has existed for tens of thousands of years since its emergence, , but the population of the island has never exceeded 10,000, and those who pass the test are not allowed to leave Poseidon Island for life."
"Not allowed to leave Poseidon Island for life?" Bibi Dong was a little surprised.
When Su Cheng first came to Wuhun Hall, she was also present on the day he was talking to Qian Daoliu. She heard some news, but didn't know much. She didn't expect that the rules of Poseidon Island were so strict.
"Yeah." Su Cheng responded casually, "The reward after passing the Poseidon test is not cheap. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. This is fair."
He glanced at Bibi Dong and said, "No one can satisfy everyone. Rules are made by the strong. If you feel unconvinced, just be the one who made the rules."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.
While talking, the two of them quickly arrived at the door of the library.
What surprised Su Cheng was that Yu Xiaogang was also looking in this direction at this time.
It is estimated that the incident in the Pope's Palace yesterday alarmed many people and made him a little curious, so he wanted to know something about Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong also saw Yu Xiaogang not far away, and her heart suddenly stirred up. She couldn't help but think of the scenes that happened yesterday, and what she had said to Qian Xunji on impulse.
His mood became a little complicated, and he lowered his head subconsciously, avoiding the other person's gaze.
Su Chengruo felt something, glanced at Bibi Dong beside him, and thought to himself.
In fact, if she falls in love again now, it shouldn't have much impact.
The unexpected factor of Qian Xunji has been removed, Bibi Dong's own temperament has also begun to change, she has become much more mature, and everything is under control.
If you insist on breaking them up, it might have the opposite effect.
Bibi Dong's nature is extreme and stubborn, which is difficult to change. Sometimes, it may be better to block things than to let them go.
The key is to control her well and not let her become crazy and stupid because of emotional matters, and become an extreme love brain like she originally was.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng took the initiative and said, "If you really like that Yu Xiaogang, it's not impossible."
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then wanted to defend himself, but heard him continue: "But I still have the same opinion as before, your energy should not be focused on falling in love, nor should you focus on falling in love because of this. This kind of thing delays your own cultivation. In terms of cultivation, that person's limited ability cannot help you. As long as you don't get into it too much and don't let it affect your own cultivation, it doesn't matter if you fall in love."
But even though he said that, Su Cheng also understood that sometimes things like feelings were not something that Bibi Dong could easily control.
The core problem is not the depth of the relationship between the other party and Yu Xiaogang, but that Bibi Dong himself is too stupid.
But if you want to cure stupidity, there is actually a good way - read more books.
The main reason why she is so easy to deceive is because she is uneducated.
Bibi Dong pursed her lips, but in the end she said nothing more and walked into the library with him in silence.
Su Cheng had long been very familiar with the library in Wuhun Palace. Although the layout was slightly different now, it was generally the same. He was deeply impressed by the placement of various books here.
While selecting study materials suitable for Bibi Dong, Su Cheng said: "Your talent is far better than ordinary people. I heard the great priest said that you have the talent of twin martial arts. In terms of cultivation qualifications, you are far above me, so I don’t think you need to learn too much or too much before you reach the realm of Titled Douluo. I hope you lay a solid foundation first.”
As he spoke, he placed books such as "Basics of Soul Ring Theory", "Classification of Beast Souls and Weapon Souls", "Encyclopedia of Soul Beast Attributes", "Conjectures on the Nature of Soul Masters' Soul Power" on the table one by one. There are even books that have nothing to do with cultivation, such as "The Differences in Thoughts of Different Classes", "The Unreasonableness of the Aristocracy", "Animal Nature and Rationality".
Fortunately, this is the Wuhun Palace, otherwise it would be impossible to find the following books on the market.
But he didn't know that Bibi Dong seemed a little absent-minded at this time.
"You must read all of these books within a week during your free time outside of practice, and understand and digest them. I will check them then."
Su Cheng pushed more than twenty books in front of Bibi Dong, and emphasized: "When reading, try to have your own understanding, and don't accept the contents of the book completely. Of course, you don't have to force this, you are too knowledgeable now. Qian, it will be different when I see more in the future.”
Seeing that Bibi Dong seemed to be in a daze, Su Cheng thought she was doubting his teaching methods, so he took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, reading more books will benefit you beyond imagination, allowing you to practice more with less effort in the future. You may still be able to do it for the time being. You can’t understand it, but trust me, you’ll understand it after some time.”
Bibi Dong finally came back to her senses and stretched out her slender fingers to gently touch the stacks of books in front of her.
After staying in Wuhun Palace for so long, she rarely looked through the various materials in the library.
She had no memory of the names of these books.
When Qian Xunji taught her before, he always directly told her how to absorb soul power, how to exercise her body, and what kind of soul beast to choose. She never let her put any thought into it.
Bibi Dong turned to look at Su Cheng and suddenly asked, "Cheng Xue, how do you view other people?"
"How do you treat other people? What do you mean by this?" Su Cheng raised his head in surprise, a little confused about her question.
"Well..." Bibi Dong said slowly, carefully considering her words, "I think you seem to be a little dismissive of many people and many things, so I want to know who you approve of. What are your standards for looking at people? "
Su Cheng blinked and didn't understand why Bibi Dong suddenly mentioned this, but still said: "Senior Qian Daoliu is someone I recognize, and I respect him very much."
"The great worshiper is very powerful. It's normal for you to respect him. What about the others?"
"You're wrong. I respect the great worshiper, not because of his strength." Su Cheng smiled and said seriously.
"You said before that there is no one I like, but that's not the case. When I look at people, it has nothing to do with their talent and strength. I only care about a person's character and character, and whether he has enough will to practice his own path. .
"I look down on Yu Xiaogang, not because he lacks talent, but because he cannot face his own shortcomings, yet he is still ambitious and self-righteous, and always wants to take shortcuts.
"I don't like Qian Xunji because his methods are too low-level and his actions are not worthy of his identity and origin. But yesterday he impressed me with admiration. At least he can face failure head-on."
Bibi Dong watched him quietly, waiting for the next words, but found that the other party stopped abruptly at this point.
"..." Bibi Dong gritted her teeth secretly when she saw this, and could only ask softly: "What about me, what do you think of me?"
"You?" Su Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hesitantly said, "You're fine."
He didn't want to worsen the relationship between the two.
But if he praised Bibi Dong without conscience, he couldn't do it.
"..."
However, seeing his reaction, Bibi Dong was not stupid. She immediately guessed it and her heart sank slightly.
Pursing her lips, she turned back and whispered: "Just say what you have to say. I was too naive in the past, but you always had to tell me what I did wrong so that I could make changes."
Su Cheng was suddenly shocked. He felt that the girl beside him had really changed a lot. What he just said was completely beyond his expectations.
"Well, there are a few things I don't understand. I hope you can answer them for me."
After thinking about it, he stopped being polite and asked directly.
"What is your position that makes you want to leave the Spirit Hall for Yu Xiaogang?
"Qian Xunji's handling method is indeed very problematic, but he is right about one thing. The existence of Wuhun Palace is indispensable for your achievements today.
"I heard that the mainland is different from our Poseidon Island. It is ruled by two empires, many kingdoms and a large number of nobles. The status of civilians is not high.
"You yourself are born as a commoner. If there was no Spirit Hall, you might not even have a chance to awaken your spirit. No, let alone awakening your spirit, survival would be a problem. No matter what the ultimate goal of the Spirit Hall was in training you in the first place. What, it’s always right to be kind to you.
"That Yu Xiaogang is still reluctant to let go of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect that expelled him from the family. Why are you so determined to abandon the Spirit Hall where you grew up for someone you have only just met?
"Is it for your so-called love? How many men have you seen since you were a child? You just met Yu Xiaogang and you are so unable to extricate yourself. Your love is too cheap."
"..." Bibi Dong looked back at Su Cheng, her eyes trembling slightly uncontrollably, "Cheap..."
"This is just my opinion, and it may be a little biased." Su Cheng originally wanted to say something more, but seeing her look like this, he didn't want to continue irritating the other person.
So he said calmly: "If you think what I said is wrong, you can give me a reason to refute me and tell me the reason why you did this."
"I... I just don't want to be restrained..." Bibi Dong's voice was slightly dull, and then she weakly whispered: "I don't love Yu Xiaogang."
When Su Cheng heard this, his eyebrows under the mask raised, and his tone was a bit solemn.
"You don't need to avoid me on this matter, I'm not like Qian Xunji. There is no interest entanglement between me and you, and I will not restrict you.
"You practice for yourself, not for me. If there is any progress in the relationship between you and Yu Xiaogang, it is best not to hide it, it is meaningless.
"To be honest, I don't think falling in love with him will do any good to your practice, but I also understand that even if you stop this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will only add fuel to the fire, so it's better to just let it take its course.
"You don't have to worry about the Grand Priest. As long as you don't leave the Wuhun Hall because of this, I will mediate between you and I don't think he will say anything.
"As for the question of whether you are bound or not, I have said before that there are few things in the world that are obtained for nothing, and you will naturally have to pay for it.
"I told you that day that your teacher would not allow you to escape control, and why do you think Qian Xunji would be so selfless and allow you to leave so easily with a soul master from another family.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to pay, then become strong enough to ignore the rules.
"Bibi Dong, don't forget how powerless you felt yesterday."
"...I understand." Bibi Dong lowered her eyes, gently clenched her fists behind her back, and swallowed back the words she originally wanted to say.
Su Cheng was secretly relieved when he saw this.
As long as the other party knows what's going on, everything is controllable.
I am afraid that some unexpected situations will occur, which will seriously disrupt my next plan.
In fact, he already had reservations about what he just said.
Just because Bibi Dong dared to say those words to Qian Xunji, he could be labeled as naive and stupid.
"Do I just need to read these books? Are there any other requirements?"
After Bibi Dong organized her thoughts, she finally focused on the books in front of her.
"That's the case for the time being." Su Cheng nodded, "Don't worry, this will not delay your cultivation efficiency. This is just the first step. Besides, if you succeed in cultivation in the future, it will also be of great benefit to me."
Bibi Dong was a little confused, "Is it also very good for you?"
"That's right." Now that he had said this, Su Cheng said frankly and honestly: "I can see that your nature is not bad. From the strength I have shown, you should also be able to see what my abilities are. What will happen next is For a long time, I can help you improve wholeheartedly, but in the future, when you succeed in cultivation, I hope you will take action for me once, and I will repay you."
"Do you need me to help you?" Bibi Dong looked surprised.
She had already seen the other party's true strength yesterday.
You must know that Su Cheng is now less than nineteen years old and is already able to compete with a titled Douluo. Judging from this progress, it is not impossible to cultivate to a ninety-ninth level peerless Douluo in his lifetime.
Bibi Dong certainly knew how talented she was, and she also knew how powerful the twin spirits were, but she didn't think she would have a chance to surpass them in future strength.
"Yes." Su Cheng nodded affirmatively, "But you will definitely not lose on this deal, and your life will not be in danger by then. And I'm not bragging. Under my guidance, your cultivation progress will definitely be far beyond imagination. "
"Deal?" Bibi Dong looked for a moment, then nodded gently and said, "Okay."
While the two were practicing, half a year passed quickly.
During this period, Su Cheng did not teach Bibi Dong any cultivation-related skills. He just continued to find various materials for Bibi Dong to study, and set tasks for her to check once a week.
This kind of learning is not simply reading or reciting, but must be understood and digested.
Considering Bibi Dong's IQ, the amount of study every week is actually quite large. After learning these contents, coupled with the cultivation of her own soul power, there will be almost no leisure time every day.
This will undoubtedly greatly reduce her personal activity time.
Even in the past six months, Su Cheng had never seen Bibi Dong go on a date with Yu Xiaogang, and the other party never complained at all, which shocked him.
But the role of reading books is undoubtedly extremely huge.
Bibi Dong has an extreme nature, and with an empty brain and no accumulation of knowledge, it is so easy to go to extremes.
After six months of study, she has undergone a certain degree of transformation from the inside out.
Although he is still some distance away from maturity, his temperament has obviously become much calmer.
Su Cheng has accumulated a wealth of knowledge, and he can easily tell Bibi Dong's current level.
From a theoretical perspective alone, her professionalism has surpassed that of Yu Xiaogang.
Even though Yu Xiaogang has been studying theory since he was a child because of his martial arts, the gap in their learning conditions is really huge.
First of all, the forces behind them are not on the same level at all.
Although the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Sect is also one of the top three sects, the information it possesses is extremely limited and not comprehensive. After coming to Wuhun City, Yu Xiao has just been exposed to high-end knowledge.
In other words, his real learning time is actually only these few years.
On the other hand, although Bibi Dong had only studied for half a year, the books he read were all high-quality books carefully selected by Su Cheng. There were very few fallacies in them, and there was no need to verify each other from a variety of materials, which greatly improved the learning efficiency.
In this way, it is natural for knowledge accumulation to catch up with the former.
After checking last week's homework, Su Cheng and Bibi Dong walked in the forest behind Pope Mountain.
Today's Bibi Dong's temperament has changed a lot compared to half a year ago, and a faint aura of majesty has begun to appear on her body.
Even if she is only a temporary pope with little actual power, her status is there after all. Even those elders at the Titled Douluo level must maintain respect for her.
Occasionally attending events as the face of the Pope's Palace, he is also a representative of real power facing major forces, and rapid growth is inevitable.
Moreover, the books Su Cheng chose for her not only provided knowledge about cultivation, but were also helpful for her daily behavior.
"Why do you have time to go out for a walk with me today?"
Bibi Dong looked reserved and spoke lightly, with no big fluctuations in her expression.
When talking to Su Cheng, he was no longer as passive as before.
"You're too tense right now. It wouldn't hurt to relax sometimes." Su Cheng said casually, not caring about her attitude.
"It's rare for you to have such an idea. I thought you thought I was made of iron." Bibi Dong snorted lightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.
"Is that so?" Su Cheng said in surprise, "I thought you thought this amount of learning was just right."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "What books do you want to read this week? You haven't given them to me yet."
"No more reading. You can make your own arrangements today. Starting tomorrow, we will change the way of practice."
"Free arrangement?" Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment.
She has become accustomed to the schedule planning of the past six months. Except for very few official duties, her daily time is almost filled with reading and cultivation.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Su Cheng say this and seemed a little unresponsive for a moment.
"You have read enough books. You may not have the idea yet, but I know it in my heart." Su Cheng smiled and said, "I have already informed the great minister that starting from tomorrow, we will leave Wuhun City and go to the mainland. Traveling for a while.”
Speaking of this, he joked jokingly: "You can take advantage of today to go find Yu Xiaogang to catch up on old times. I'm afraid you won't be able to see each other again for a long time."
After getting along for half a year, the relationship between the two has become very natural, and it is not uncommon for them to talk and laugh like friends on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong suddenly turned cold and said calmly: "Don't make such a joke."
