Chapter 335 Bibi Dong's Longing and Expectation
As Ye Qifeng listened to Huo Wushuang's incessant narration, his mood became somewhat complicated.
He could clearly sense a mixture of jealousy and resentment in the other person's eyes.
Night Seven Wind expressed his understanding of this.
He knew that Huo Wushuang's emotions stemmed from a slight resentment towards his younger sister, Huo Wu, for being infatuated with him.
In addition, Huo Wushuang felt uncomfortable, jealous, and annoyed by Huo Wuwu's different treatment of the two of them.
This is only human nature, so it's no wonder Huo Wushuang is blamed.
Ye Qifeng wanted to explain himself, but then he thought that Huo Wu was Huo Wushuang's beloved younger sister, and he had stolen her heart, so he was a little guilty.
So he fell silent.
Huo Wushuang also felt somewhat disheartened and didn't want to say anything more.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
After that, both of them focused their attention on the graceful Huo Wu.
As the medicinal properties were refined and absorbed, Huo Wu's spirit was rapidly recovering.
Sensing the changes in Huo Wu, Ye Qifeng and Huo Wushuang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Huo Wushuang.
Unlike Ye Qifeng, he did not recognize the herb that his sister Huowu had taken. Although Ye Qifeng had explained it to him and described its medicinal effects, he still had some doubts and worries.
Only when he clearly sensed that his sister's spirits were indeed recovering rapidly did he finally feel completely relieved.
After a long silence, Ye Qifeng looked at Huo Wushuang and suddenly spoke, pleading:
"Brother Wushuang, there's something I might need your help with."
Huo Wushuang paused slightly, turning his gaze from his sister to Ye Qifeng. A hint of doubt crossed his resolute face as he asked:
"What is it?"
Ye Qifeng's tone was calm, yet tinged with seriousness and earnestness:
"Brother Wushuang, could you please introduce me to City Lord Huohong? I have something to discuss with him."
"Something to discuss? Could it be about my sister? Or something else?" Huo Wushuang's mind raced, slightly surprised.
"You want to see my father? Now?"
Ye Qifeng nodded first, glanced at Huo Wu, and then shook his head:
"Not now. Huo Wu's condition isn't good and needs to be dealt with first, so today might not be an option. Let's do it tomorrow."
In fact, he planned to use today's time to give Huo Wu the celestial herb he had prepared, the Fiery Apricot, once Huo Wu's mental state had fully recovered.
However, Ye Qifeng did not tell Huo Wushuang about this, since it was a gift specially prepared for Huo Wu, and it was not appropriate to say anything more for the time being.
Once Huo Wu has successfully consumed, refined, and absorbed the Fiery Apricot Dew, she can inform Huo Hong and his son Huo Wushuang herself, thus giving them a pleasant surprise.
Huo Wushuang was unaware of Ye Qifeng's plans. Following Ye Qifeng's gaze, he also looked down at his younger sister Huo Wu, who was sitting cross-legged, and then looked up at Ye Qifeng. Although there was something strange in his eyes, there was also some approval.
Not bad, at least this kid knew to care about my sister first.
After a moment's hesitation, Huo Wushuang nodded:
"That's no problem. My father isn't at Blazing Academy today. He's currently at the City Lord's Mansion dealing with Blazing City's affairs and doesn't have time right now."
"However, my father will be coming to Blazing Fire Academy tomorrow. I will take you to see him then."
"I imagine my father is also looking forward to meeting you. Because of my sister, he's mentioned you quite a bit these past few months."
Yeah, actually I've scolded you quite a bit!
Who told you to steal my sister Huo Wu's heart and make her love-sick? If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be like this now.
You little rascal, you've really caused a lot of trouble.
My younger sister, Huo Wu, is the apple of my father's eye, his precious darling. He treats her like a precious gem, afraid she might fall if he holds her in his hands or melt if he keeps her in his mouth.
Knowing my father's temper, when he sees you, he probably won't give you a pleasant look. He might even let you experience what the iron fist of love is like.
Huo Wushuang silently added a few more words in his heart, and a slightly strange smile appeared on his face.
However, although he had a lot on his mind, he didn't say these things to Ye Qifeng's face.
"Then thank you very much, Brother Wushuang."
Ye Qifeng seemed oblivious to the ambiguous smile on Huo Wushuang's face, and thanked him.
"It's nothing, don't mention it."
Huo Wushuang waved his hand, paused for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and suddenly spoke, asking the question that had been lingering in his mind:
"I wonder what brings Brother Ye to meet with my father tomorrow? Perhaps you could tell me beforehand so that I can prepare my explanation when I inform my father."
"no problem."
Upon hearing the question, Ye Qifeng's lips curled into a faint smile. Looking at Huo Wushuang, he calmly revealed his purpose in a slightly relaxed yet enigmatic tone:
"Oh, the reason I met with City Lord Huo Hong today was to discuss with him matters concerning the exchange and cooperation between our two forces. By the way, the two forces I'm referring to are the Spirit Hall and Blazing Fire City."
Let's also discuss the relationship between the Spirit Hall and Blazing City, and the issue of their ownership.
Ye Qifeng added in his mind, but he didn't say it aloud.
Otherwise, if Huo Wushuang heard this, he would probably be furious.
After all, his purpose in meeting Huo Hong was not simple.
After hearing this, Huo Wushuang was slightly taken aback, and the pupils in his dark red eyes seemed to involuntarily dilate.
He already had a general idea of Ye Qifeng's identity, but hearing it confirmed by the other party himself still stirred up a ripple in his heart.
This kid actually managed to represent the Spirit Hall and come to Blazing Fire City to discuss exchanges and cooperation between the two sides?
Judging from his appearance, he probably holds a high position in the Spirit Hall and carries considerable weight.
Huo Wushuang narrowed his eyes, gave Ye Qifeng a deep look, let out a long breath, and then slowly spoke:
"You kid, you really are from the Spirit Hall, and your status seems to be quite high."
Hearing Huo Wushuang's words, Ye Qifeng felt slightly surprised.
However, it seems that before this, Huo Wushuang only had some guesses and suspicions, and was not very sure that he came from the Spirit Hall.
It wasn't until he brought it up himself that he finally made up his mind.
Moreover, Huo Wushuang should still be unaware of his identity as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
Speaking of which, Huo Wu had asked him which faction he came from, but he had some reservations at the time and did not choose to tell Huo Wu. Now that he thinks about it, he feels a little sorry for her.
If he had chosen to tell Huo Wu about his identity and origins, and even more of his secrets, she probably wouldn't have been so afraid of falling behind him, so eager to achieve quick success, so reckless, and so prone to overtraining that it damaged her body and mind.
Thinking of this, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but glance at Huo Wu, who was dressed in a wine-red dress, again. His expression was somewhat unfocused, complex, and filled with apology and guilt.
Half a day passed.
Ye Qifeng's eyes regained their calm. He composed himself, looked at Huo Wushuang again, and tentatively asked:
"Brother Wushuang, from what you've said, it seems you already have some guesses about my identity and background?"
"That's natural."
Huo Wushuang's lips curled slightly, and he nodded, readily admitting it:
"After all, you are my sister's sweetheart, and she cares about you so much. As her brother, I naturally have to investigate your identity and background."
"Otherwise, how could I entrust my sister to you? I don't want to hand her over to a man of unknown origin. Besides, even if I agreed, my father wouldn't."
"Therefore, with Father's instructions and support, we mobilized the Soul Master forces under the control of Blazing Fire City to conduct a thorough investigation into your identity and origins."
"only"
As he spoke, Huo Wushuang suddenly paused, glanced at Ye Qifeng who was looking at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and then changed the subject, continuing:
"However, to my surprise, this investigation yielded absolutely nothing."
"You are clearly a genius with exceptional talent and considerable strength. Several months ago, at the age of eleven, you were able to easily defeat Feng Xiaotian, which is enough to prove that."
"But strangely enough, no one in the Soul Master world knows your name."
"You seem to have no reputation in the Soul Master world. It's as if you appeared out of thin air. There's no way to find any information about you, let alone your identity or background."
"This is unreasonable."
At this point, Huo Wushuang frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then continued:
"This suggests that you are very likely deliberately concealing your identity, and there is probably a powerful force behind you providing cover, which is why we cannot find any information about your identity and background."
Am I right?
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng's expression suddenly turned somewhat surprised.
He never expected that Huo Hong and his son Huo Wushuang would mobilize the soul masters of Blazing Fire City to conduct a thorough investigation of him for Huo Wu's sake.
Unfortunately, very few people know his true identity, and most of them live in Wuhun City.
In addition, during the two years that Ye Qifeng traveled, before arriving in Heaven Dou City, he rarely had contact or communication with Soul Masters other than those from the Spirit Hall, and he didn't know many Soul Masters.
Apart from a few people in Tiandou City, Ye Qifeng had not revealed his identity to anyone else.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for Huo Hong and his son Huo Wushuang to find out anything about him; in fact, it was almost impossible.
Ye Qifeng was at a loss for words and could only remain silent.
Huo Wushuang didn't care much about not getting a reply from Ye Qifeng, taking Ye Qifeng's silence as a tacit agreement.
After a moment, Huo Wushuang seemed to have thought of something again. His gaze shifted to Ye Qifeng, and then he said:
"Not long after you left Blazing City without saying goodbye, the Soul Masters stationed at the Blazing City Spirit Hall suddenly started to act strangely, and began to intensify their efforts to collect all information about our Blazing City, Blazing Academy, and the Huo Clan."
"In particular, they secretly conducted special intelligence investigations and gatherings around my sister, Huowu."
"The unusual actions of the Spirit Hall in Blazing Fire City have aroused our attention and vigilance. At first, we thought that the Spirit Hall was going to attack the spirit master forces in Blazing Fire City, so we were on edge for quite a while."
After a pause, Huo Wushuang continued:
"However, it was later confirmed that this was actually a misunderstanding. The Spirit Hall had no intention of dealing with us. On the contrary, the Spirit Hall strengthened its cooperation with Blazing Fire City."
"Although we were taken aback by the Spirit Hall's unusual actions, in the following months, Blazing Fire City actually benefited a lot from the Spirit Hall's proactive concessions in its cooperation with them."
"The relationship between our Blazing Fire City and the Spirit Hall was not bad, but it wasn't good either. There was even some competition and animosity between them behind the scenes."
"The attitude of the Spirit Hall of Blazing Fire City towards Blazing Fire City has suddenly changed, becoming more friendly and close, which caught us off guard and surprised us greatly. We don't know why."
At this point, Huo Wushuang raised an eyebrow, cleared his throat, and continued:
"Later, we got the answer from the bishop stationed at the Spirit Hall in Blazing City. Only then did we realize that the reason why the Spirit Hall made all these changes was because of my sister, Huo Wu."
"And who else but you, Ye Qifeng, could make the Spirit Hall change for my sister, Huo Wu?"
"I see."
After hearing Huo Wushuang's words, Ye Qifeng immediately understood.
It turns out that the reason why Huo Wushuang suspected that he was from the Spirit Hall was because of Huo Wu and the Spirit Hall of Blazing Fire City.
As for the friendly and intimate attitude shown by the Spirit Hall of Blazing Fire City towards Blazing Fire City, Ye Qifeng guessed that this was probably the work of their teacher, Bibi Dong, in order to improve their relationship in advance and prepare for the future subjugation of Blazing Fire City, Blazing Fire Academy, and the Huo Clan behind it.
The thought of his teacher, Bibi Dong, made Ye Qifeng feel slightly flustered and embarrassed. Although he had mentioned Huo Wu in a letter he wrote to his teacher, he had not gone into the details.
Now that the Spirit Hall of Blazing City has conducted a thorough investigation, the information must have already reached Teacher Bibi Dong, and she should already know the details of her relationship with Huo Wu.
Ye Qifeng could only silently apologize for this.
He decided in his heart that after returning to Wuhun City in a while, he would definitely tell his teacher the truth, regardless of whether she asked about it or not.
…………
Wuhun City.
The Papal Palace, the council chamber.
Bibi Dong propped her cheeks up with her jade hands, her delicate body reclining limply on the pale purple papal throne, her jade legs crossed lazily.
On her snow-white, delicate feet, she wore a pair of light purple crystal high heels, and her two perfectly white calves, revealed beneath her skirt, floated gently in mid-air.
She was wearing, as always, a magnificent purple-gold papal gown, which fit her perfectly, accentuating her curvaceous and graceful figure.
With her long, pinkish-purple hair casually tied back, she appeared both noble and captivating against the backdrop of the hazy purple light emanating from the papal throne.
Bibi Dong's skin was still so fair and smooth, and her appearance was still stunningly beautiful. The temperament she exuded was incomparably rich in nobility, elegance and tranquility, making her look so unique.
Even though she is over forty, time has not left any marks on her face. She still looks like she is only in her twenties, with a near-perfect appearance, only with a touch of mature charm.
But it is precisely this touch of mature charm that adds a unique and infinite allure and charm to her.
Unfortunately, Ye Qifeng wasn't there and couldn't witness this scene.
Otherwise, he would certainly offer his praise and admiration without hesitation, and might even be unable to resist immersing himself in her poetic beauty and unparalleled charm, no longer caring about anything else.
The Papal Palace council hall is vast and spacious, covering an area of over a thousand square meters.
At this moment, only Bibi Dong was there.
Her snow-white elbows rested on the edge of the papal throne, her jade-like hands supporting her smooth, fair cheeks, her beautiful eyes tightly closed.
He appears to be resting with his eyes closed.
But who knows that deep down, she is actually longing for and hoping for the return of a handsome and dashing figure?

I still need to gradually adjust my typing habits!
