—------------------—
Xue Tianxing understood that by then, let alone returning to Wuhun City to recognize his relatives, Bibi Dong would probably immediately send a large number of strong men to wipe him and his family out at all costs.
Thinking of this, Xue Tianxing's eyes became solemn.
Xue Tianxing was very clear that an irreconcilable natural hostility had already formed between him and Bibi Dong as soon as he arrived in the Douluo Continent.
This hostility is not accidental, but stems from two unavoidable core contradictions.
The first contradiction is that they both have the same goal - to unify the Douluo Continent.
Bibi Dong has always been ambitious and wants to use the power of the Spirit Hall to overthrow the rule of the two empires and establish a new order controlled by the Spirit Hall.
Xue Tianxing, as the prince of the Barak Kingdom, also has his own ambitions. He hopes to lead the Barak Kingdom to rise and eventually occupy a dominant position in the Douluo Continent.
Two people who both want to control the future direction of the mainland are destined to become each other's biggest competitors. This contest was inevitable from the beginning.
The second contradiction goes straight to the root of the problem - Xue Tianxing possesses the Seraphim spirit. Bibi Dong, due to her past experiences, hates the angels to the core and wishes to kill all those who possess the Seraphim spirit.
Qian Renxue, as the heir of the angel clan, has always been regarded as a thorn in Bibi Dong's side. In Xue Tianxing's view, Qian Renxue grew up in Wuhun City when she was a child. Bibi Dong should have had many opportunities to get rid of Qian Renxue, but in the end, she did not have the heart to kill her. In addition, Xue Tianxing had read the original novel, and the ending was also a drama of deep love between mother and daughter.
There are three people in the Douluo Continent who have six-winged angel spirits. Qian Renxue is Bibi Dong's biological daughter. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. No matter how much Bibi Dong hates the six-winged angel lineage, she didn't kill Qian Renxue. What's more, Qian Renxue has a grandfather who also has a six-winged angel spirit, and he is a ninety-nine-level Extreme Douluo, so Bibi Dong can't do anything to these two people.
The appearance of Xue Tianxing, the owner of the six-winged angel spirit who "showed up unexpectedly", only made Bibi Dong's hatred even stronger.
Xue Tianxing turned over, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and thought to himself:
"It seems that if I want my mother to return to Wuhun City smoothly to recognize her relatives and realize my own ambitions, I will have to face this crazy woman Bibi Dong sooner or later.
My current strength is not strong enough. I must improve my strength as soon as possible and start the Divine Test, so that I can gain the upper hand in the future competition with Bibi Dong."
Xue Tianxing took a deep breath, suppressed the worries in his heart, and his eyes became firm again.
Although the road ahead is full of challenges, Xue Tianxing is not afraid - with the inheritance of the Ice God and the help of the Silver Dragon King, he is confident that he can clear all obstacles step by step, achieve his goals, and complete the spiritual inheritance of thousands of genes. The Douluo Continent is too small and can only accommodate one country.
A week passed in a flash, and the day agreed to set off for Tianshui City soon arrived.
Outside the city of Barak in the early morning, the carriage had already been prepared. Xue Tianxing, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Dugu Yan, and Cao Qing gathered at the city gate on time, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation for an unknown journey.
Just as everyone was about to board the carriage, a figure quietly appeared beside Xue Tianxing - it was Liu Tianfeng.
Seeing the surprise in Xue Tianxing's eyes, Liu Tianfeng smiled faintly and explained:
"Your Majesty is worried that we will have to come into contact with many human forces during our trip to Tianshui City. Human hearts are much more complicated than those of spirit beasts, and they might be plotting something in the dark, so I've been asked to protect you in secret.
Don't worry, I won't show up. I'll only intervene when you're in danger."
Xue Tianxing finally understood his father's intention - the last time he went to the Xingdou Great Forest, he faced a straightforward soul beast, and the protection of two soul saints was enough.
But this time, when going to Tianshui City, he will have to deal with people from the five elemental academies, and he may also encounter spies or plots from other forces. As a Titled Douluo, Liu Tianfeng is stronger and more capable of dealing with emergencies. Having him guarding in secret is indeed more reassuring.
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Liu."
Xue Tianxing bowed to the air. He knew that Liu Tianfeng would soon hide his aura and blend into the surrounding environment.
Then, the seven people got on the carriage one by one.
The carriage was spacious and comfortable, with soft brocade covering the interior and tea and snacks provided.
The wheels rolled and headed towards Tianshui City.
Along the way, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er could hardly hide their excitement - they leaned against the car window, watching the ever-changing scenery along the way, and whispered from time to time about interesting things in Tianshui City, such as which dessert was the most delicious, and which street had the most exquisite decorations, their eyes full of longing and anticipation for their hometown.
The other people were also infected by the sisters' emotions. Ning Rongrong and Shui Yue'er gathered together and curiously asked about the characteristics of Tianshui City.
Oscar was thinking about trying the local food when he arrived in Tianshui City; Dugu Yan and Cao Qing were relatively quiet, but they would look out the window from time to time with curiosity in their eyes.
Xue Tianxing sat aside, watching his friends having fun, and couldn't help but smile.
After several days of travel, the carriage finally entered the area of Tianshui City.
From a distance, the walls of Tianshui City are light blue all over, as if made of crystal, and they glow softly in the sun. They are completely different from the ochre-colored walls of other cities, and they exude a lively atmosphere.
After entering Tianshui City, everyone was dazzled by the exquisitely decorated shops on both sides of the street, and most of the goods displayed in the windows were related to women:
Colorful silk, delicate and small accessories, fragrant rouge and powder, novel skirts...even the snacks sold by street vendors are mostly sweet cakes and candied fruits that suit women's tastes.
"Women in our Tianshui City have a relatively high status, and everyone pays great attention to appearance, so there are many shops like this."
Shui Bing'er explained with a smile, a hint of pride in her words.
Led by Shui Bing'er, the carriage passed through several busy streets and finally stopped in front of a magnificent mansion - this was the City Lord's Mansion of Tianshui City and also the Dean's Mansion of Tianshui College.
Above the gate of the mansion hangs a plaque with five large characters, "Tianshui City Lord's Mansion" written on it. The characters are elegant and as agile as flowing water.
What's more special is that the back door of the City Lord's Mansion is connected to Tianshui College. By walking in from the back door, you can directly enter the college.
When the servant guarding the gate saw Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a respectful look.
One of the servants said quickly:
"Miss, Miss, you're back! I'll go report to the dean right away!"
After saying this, he quickly ran into the mansion; the other servants came forward enthusiastically, helped everyone carry their luggage, and led them into the mansion.
