Chapter 129 Bibi Dong Acting on Her Own Decisions
a few days later.
A horse-drawn carriage drove out from the west gate of Wuhun City.
This is a very ordinary horse-drawn carriage, the most common and prevalent type of transportation in the Douluo Continent, specifically used for transporting passengers.
At first glance, it is quite unremarkable.
No one would pay special attention to it or notice who is sitting inside.
The carriage followed behind the caravan belonging to the Spirit Hall's Pan-Continental Merchant Alliance, leaving the city as the caravan departed.
After being checked by the city gate guards, they were allowed to pass smoothly.
After leaving the city, the carriage broke away from the procession and began heading west.
The carriage was not traveling very fast.
That was a special instruction from the employer. The elderly driver, who was about sixty years old and had a gray beard, happily did as he was told.
Because the money has already been received.
This customer-attracting trip could make a fortune.
Although the elderly coachman was old, he was a genuine level 25 Great Soul Master.
With his cultivation as a Great Soul Master, he could freely enter and leave Wuhun City.
Therefore, he travels between Wuhun City and various other cities year-round, earning gold soul coins by driving a horse-drawn carriage to pick up passengers.
However, in Wuhun City, a holy land of soul masters, the cultivation level of a Great Soul Master still ranks at the bottom.
Now he's getting a bit old, while the other rickshaw pullers who also make a living by soliciting passengers are almost all young middle-aged men.
For safety reasons, Soul Masters usually prefer to ride in carriages driven by young drivers.
Fewer and fewer Soul Masters are choosing to ride in carriages driven by elderly drivers.
The elderly rickshaw drivers are starting to consider whether they should just retire.
I thought I was going to come back empty-handed today.
Unexpectedly, he encountered a very wealthy man who was willing to spend a thousand gold soul coins to hire him and his carriage for a month.
And with a wave of his hand, he directly paid a prepayment of 500 gold soul coins.
That's a thousand gold soul coins! He'd do it even if it meant working as a servant for a year, let alone a month. He wouldn't hesitate.
The elderly driver had no idea who his employer was.
But he knew that this young employer must be someone extraordinary.
Although the young employer was dressed in ordinary black clothes, his temperament was extraordinary. He exuded a peaceful and serene aura, a detached and indifferent demeanor that made people feel very comfortable, as if bathed in a spring breeze.
The elderly coachman guessed that the young employer must be the son of some important figure in Wuhun City.
The young employer is probably leaving Wuhun City to gain experience on the mainland.
He may appear to be alone, but he may have protectors lurking in the shadows.
However, all he needs to do is drive the carriage well, do what his employer tells him, and earn the gold soul coins.
The elderly driver didn't care about the rest, nor was it his business.
…………
Pope's Palace.
Council hall.
Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent purple-gold papal gown, sat quietly on the papal throne.
A pair of pale purple eyes were fixed on the view outside the French windows, in the direction of the west gate of Wuhun City, her expression somewhat dazed.
These past few days, Bibi Dong has taken a rare few days off and hasn't been handling any official business.
She chose to cherish the remaining few days and went to the Holy Son's Palace to spend time with Ye Qifeng.
Ye Qifeng sensed Bibi Dong's unease, so he did almost nothing and spent several days keeping her company.
But the day of departure eventually came.
Ye Qifeng left.
He didn't let Bibi Dong see him off, so as not to provoke Bibi Dong's negative emotions.
However, what he didn't know was...
Although Bibi Dong had already prepared herself mentally, her heart was still filled with complex emotions, and her feelings fluctuated wildly.
Bibi Dong sat alone on the papal throne for a very long time.
I had just come to my senses when my mind started racing.
When scions or heirs of powerful families or influential groups travel across the continent for training, they are usually accompanied by at least one protector.
When I was traveling across the continent to gain experience, my protector was Yue Guan, who was still at the Soul Douluo level at the time.
The Douluo Continent is not peaceful now, and it seems that things are getting more chaotic. If Xiao Feng goes to the continent to train, he may encounter danger.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong lost her composure and stood up straight in a flash.
Suddenly, she remembered that Ye Qifeng had once told her that he didn't need to arrange a protector for him, as he wanted to go out and make his own way in the world.
Bibi Dong, as if deflated, slumped back onto the papal throne.
After thinking for a moment, I still felt it was inappropriate.
"No, I'm not comfortable with that."
Bibi Dong's clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out in the council hall:
"As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, the most powerful Soul Master force on the continent, how can Xiao Feng not have a protector by his side? It doesn't suit his status."
"How can his safety be guaranteed without a protector? It doesn't make sense."
"Although Xiao Feng said he doesn't need a protector."
Bibi Dong's eyes suddenly lit up; she had a good idea:
"I can arrange it secretly, so he won't discover the existence of the protector, right?"
After convincing herself, Bibi Dong began selecting protectors for Ye Qifeng, murmuring to herself:
"Who should we choose as the protector?"
"First of all, their strength must not be low. They must be at least a Soul Douluo, preferably a Title Douluo. Secondly, they must be good at concealing their figure and aura."
"Nihuang? Nihuang and Xiaofeng have a very good relationship, and she likes Xiaofeng very much."
Bibi Dong slightly pursed her red lips, a strange feeling stirring within her.
After a moment, he continued to murmur:
"As Xiaofeng's ninth older sister, she would definitely do everything in her power to protect Xiaofeng if Xiaofeng were in danger. That's no problem, but..."
Before long, Bibi Dong denied it:
"Inappropriate!"
"Nihuang is not good at concealing her figure and aura. Moreover, she is currently in a critical period of breakthrough and cannot delay her cultivation. It is not advisable for her to make a move."
"Moon Pass?"
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, feeling a chill and disgusted. "Forget it, this chatterbox is so effeminate, I can't let him corrupt Xiao Feng."
"Oh, and ghosts too."
Bibi Dong's eyes lit up. "Ghostly doesn't talk much, but he's quite loyal. He also seems to respect Xiao Feng."
"Most importantly, the ghost's ability to conceal itself and track presence is extremely strong, allowing it to hide in the shadows and protect Ye Qifeng."
"Moreover, the ghost is extremely fast. Even if it is outmatched in any emergency, it can still escape quickly with Xiao Feng thanks to its speed."
"Ghostly is indeed the best choice."
"However, both of Xiao Feng's martial souls are god-level martial souls with extremely strong perception. I wonder if the Ghost's concealment ability can hide from Xiao Feng's perception."
"If Xiao Feng discovers how good he is, he probably won't blame me for taking it upon myself to secretly arrange protectors for him, right?"
At this point, Bibi Dong clenched her fist and gently pressed it against her full chest, feeling somewhat worried.
After a moment, he composed himself and made up his mind:
"Never mind, ensuring Xiaofeng's safety is the most important thing."
"As for the administrative affairs that Ghost is in charge of, let Yue Guan do more of the work, so that he doesn't spend all his time in his courtyard tending to those flowers and plants."
"Hmph~~ I don't even have that much leisure time. He, on the other hand, actually has time to plant flowers and grass? He should be dealing with more government affairs."
"Oh, right, there's also that little girl Nana. Once she comes out of the death training camp, it's time to train her in handling government affairs."
At this moment, Bibi Dong suddenly remembered something and casually wiped her wrist on the jade bracelet.
A letter suddenly appeared out of thin air and landed in Yu's hand.
This was left here by Ye Qifeng before he left Wuhun City; it was for that little girl, Nana.
Bibi Dong stared intently at the letter in her hand. For some reason, she suddenly felt an urge to open the envelope and peek inside.
After a long pause, Bibi Dong suppressed her urge to spy and slightly pursed her lips:
"It seems that training Nana's ability to handle government affairs must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
"Once she gets the hang of things, I'll hand over many administrative tasks to her so she won't be clinging to Xiaofeng all day long, and I can take a break too."
"Well, when the time comes, we'll nominate her as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall as compensation."
"However, let's talk about that later."
"The most urgent task is to place Ghostly by Xiao Feng's side to protect him."
