Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Is this love?
"First, put on your clothing, and while you're doing so, listen to me." Bibidong placed the garments in front of Li Chang'an's eyes, then drew the lapel on his breast, gave Li Chang'an a blank stare, and then walked out of bed.
Li Chang'an was happy to see Bibidong was not enraged; this was a small test for him tonight, and it appeared to have gone well.
The first was that Bibidong would not be angry with him for some of his rash actions, but would instead blame him externally, implying that Li Chang'an's insistence on providing snacks and becoming close to Bibidong in the first place over the previous two months was having an impact.
It was nice that it had an effect, regardless of Bibidong's mood. It was also good that she wasn't angry.
After getting dressed, Li Chang'an sat on Bibidong's bed with his knees crossed, and when Bibidong saw him, she didn't say anything, so she just let Li Chang'an sit there.
"In a few days, our Spirit Hall will begin the selection of the Holy Sons," he only saw Bibidong adjust his chair slightly and change to a more comfortable sitting position before propping up his chin with one hand and saying, "At that time, all outstanding youths aged ten and below can participate in the selection."
"The selection will be straightforward, consisting of a competition in which three contenders for the Holy Son will be chosen."
"These three candidates will then have a year to show themselves in a variety of ways, such as making a large contribution to the Spirit Hall or considerably increasing their spirit power in a year, and they will be judged by a special team of judges."
"At first, I had no intention of allowing you to participate; after all, even if it is accessible to all youngsters aged ten and under, you have just recently begun and cannot compete with them."
"However, now that you've moved to the second ring, the majority of them are also two-ring, and many of them aren't even as excellent as you if they fight hard."
"As for what occurs when you become one of the three candidates, I'm more confident in your abilities; whether it's your cultivation speed or your thinking, it's unrivalled among your peers, therefore the post of Holy Son is almost certain to be yours!"
"Teacher, what are the advantages of becoming a Holy Son?" Although there would be plenty of opportunity to show off after becoming a Holy Son, Li Chang'an wanted more.
Li Chang'an's words didn't surprise Bibidong, and Li Chang'an's mind asking this didn't surprise her either.
"Whether it's a holy son or a holy maiden, both the papal palace and the elders' palace recognise them and accord them high respect."
"In addition, the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens have the right to attend every Spirit Hall meeting and share their views and thoughts, and you can put your policies into effect if they are agreed by the majority!"
"Moreover, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden have access to the great bulk of the Spirit Hall's resources and expertise, as well as the Titled Douluo, including the Hall of Elders!"
So many advantages!
Li Chang'an nodded slightly in his heart, this Holy Son still looked to be treated fairly well, to say nothing of the fact that his participation in the Spirit Hall's affairs was necessary for Li Chang'an.
If the Spirit Hall is to prosper on the coast or go deeper and unify the Douluo Continent in the future, several things must be planned ahead of time, such as investigating spirit guides and looking into people's livelihoods...
Li Chang'an did not consider himself a saint or a great man, but his birth mandated that he assist the Spirit Hall, not to mention the fact that many of his fish were on the Spirit Hall's side.
"Yes, teacher, I'll do everything I can to get it!" Li Chang'an solemnly nodded, professing his manhood!
"Just try your best; I'm sure you'll face a lot of opposition; after all, if the Holy Maiden and Holy Son are on my side, the Hall of Elders won't be happy, so watch out for the people sent by the Hall of Elders."
Bibidong didn't give any indications, but she hoped that her disciples would be safe and sound in comparison to others.
...
It was late in the evening as they left the Papal Palace, and Li Chang'an noticed a figure roaming around there as if it was waiting for someone as soon as they exited the doors.
"You've finally come out, Junior Brother!" This figure dashed over as soon as she saw Li Chang'an emerge, and with a delicious air, who else could it be but Hu Liena?
Hu Liena was dressed in a pink dress that emphasised her shape, light blue boots, and her hair was casually strewn across her shoulders, and her body's seductive power was still in full force!
"What are you doing here at this hour, senior sister?" Li Chang'an pretended to be perplexed.
When a lady is enamoured with you and contemplates returning to you, don't be overly proactive; else, you'll make her think you're cheap and unworthy of her attention.
"I knew you were returning, so I was expecting you; come on, junior brother, let senior sister take you out to have some great food." Like a kind sister, Hu Liena took Li Chang'an's hand in hers and proceeded down a side street without saying anything.
"All right, sister, I'm not going to be polite now."
"Feel free to order; this restaurant is close to our school, and the food is excellent." Hu Liena remarked, her brow furrowed.
Hu Liena couldn't stop thinking about Li Chang'an, for some reason, she felt like the more she stared at him, the more gorgeous he seemed, and with the fact that he was nice and strong, she couldn't help but think about him.
Hu Liena said that Li Chang'an was so deeply ingrained in her thoughts that she subconsciously desired to be closer to him, even though she didn't know if it was love.
"This is the one..." When Li Chang'an saw the shop, he couldn't help but feel emotional because it was the same one he and Qian Ren Xue had been visiting.
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Hu Liena expressed her thoughts.
"The food here does not appeal to me. Is it possible to switch places?" With a shake of his head, Li Chang'an requested that the shop be changed.
How could he take Hu Liena to dine at this shop if he knew the boss would squeal on him if he saw him?
