Chapter 62: Bibi Dong's Plot
Related to Tang Hao and his son?
In the study, upon hearing the words of the Temple Knight outside, Bibi Dong immediately paused what she was doing, furrowing her brows as she turned toward the door.
"Speak."
"This is a letter from a deacon named Su Yuntao of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall sub-branch."
"He reports that three months ago, in a village called Holy Soul Village, he awakened the martial soul of a child named Tang San—who possesses a Blue Silver Grass martial soul with innate full soul power."
"He suspects that this Tang San is the one we've been searching for, but due to the fear that this child's father might truly be the Clear Sky Douluo, he hasn't dared to confirm the father's identity."
"He now writes to inform us of this discovery and leaves the decision to Your Holiness."
The Temple Knight respectfully relayed the contents.
"Innate full soul power with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed as her sharp gaze narrowed slightly.
As the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong didn't know as much about martial soul inheritance as Ning Fengzhi—who had remained at Rank 79 for many years—but she certainly wasn't ignorant. She knew many deep secrets about martial souls.
It was common knowledge that a martial soul's strength generally correlated with one's innate soul power.
Ordinary Blue Silver Grass should never possess innate full soul power.
So for this child named Tang San to have it, there were only two possibilities:
Either his Blue Silver Grass wasn't ordinary,
or… he was a twin martial soul wielder.
But based on another known principle of martial soul inheritance—
a stronger martial soul tends to devour the weaker one. Only when the two are of comparable strength can twin martial souls coexist.
Thus, combining these facts,
whether or not Tang San was a twin martial soul wielder, his Blue Silver Grass could not be ordinary.
And the only likely cause for an innate full soul power Blue Silver Grass was Ah Yin , the 100,000-year soul beast who took human form and married Tang Hao.
Only a Blue Silver Grass soul beast capable of reaching 100,000 years could birth a child with such talent.
And his name was Tang San.
Bibi Dong could now say with near certainty: this child was indeed the one they were looking for.
"I understand. You may leave."
"As for the deacon Su Yuntao from the Nuoding City sub-branch, don't reply to him yet. Once we complete our operation, follow my instructions and reward him accordingly. Understood?"
After a moment of contemplation, Bibi Dong waved her hand and spoke calmly.
"Yes!"
The Temple Knight bowed deeply and left respectfully.
After he was gone,
Bibi Dong lightly tapped the table with her jade-like fingers, brows still drawn together, clearly deep in thought. Yet she remained seated, continuing to process Spirit Hall matters.
But while Bibi Dong stayed composed, others were far more anxious.
By evening, as the sun dipped toward the horizon,
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei exited the spirit mimicry training grounds. Upon hearing that news of Tang Hao had arrived, they hurried straight to the Pope's Palace.
Compared to Bibi Dong,
the two elders were far more emotionally invested, having once accompanied Qian Xunji in the pursuit that forced Ah Yin to sacrifice herself. They had long feared Tang Hao's revenge and would love nothing more than to see him dead.
Thus, the moment they heard the news, they rushed to seek audience with Bibi Dong.
"Your Holiness, Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Ghost request an audience!"
The Temple Knight called out respectfully outside the study, while Yueguan and Gui Mei waited, clearly impatient.
Inside, Bibi Dong wasn't surprised at all by their arrival.
"Let them in."
Upon her command, the knight gestured for them to enter.
"Elders, please come in."
With permission granted, Yueguan and Gui Mei quickly entered the study.
After bowing to Bibi Dong, Yueguan spoke urgently:
"Your Holiness, haven't we already received word about Tang Hao? Shouldn't we act immediately? If we delay, he might escape! We must act swiftly!"
"Escape?"
Bibi Dong paused her work and gave a faint smile.
"Whether he escapes or not isn't something we can control just by acting now. In truth, there are only two possibilities regarding Tang Hao's situation…"
"Two?" the two elders echoed.
"That's right—only two."
"Either, after the last livestream, Tang Hao realized we know his son's name and has already fled, or he's holding onto luck and hasn't left yet."
Bibi Dong nodded slowly as she spoke.
"As I see it, the latter is more likely. Tang Hao has never been a cautious person—he treated the Clear Sky Sect that way, and he would treat us no differently."
"Don't forget, thanks to Lin Yu's manipulation, Tang Hao is estranged from his wife. Ah Yin hasn't said a word during the past few livestreams."
"Tang Hao is not someone who gives up on his wife easily. He's surely trying to reconcile with her. And unless they've already reconciled—which seems unlikely—he'll keep trying, even at great personal risk."
Bibi Dong explained her reasoning thoroughly—accurately predicting Tang Hao's emotions.
After all, they were both people deeply tied to emotion.
"Even so… shouldn't we still move quickly? What if Tang Hao changes his mind halfway?" Yueguan asked, still anxious despite understanding her logic.
"Heh, give up?"
Bibi Dong chuckled.
"If he were going to give up, he'd have done so already. And don't think he won't be on guard if we head there now."
"No. After the livestream's recent exposure, he's more alert than ever. If we rush in now, we may return empty-handed."
"Instead, I have a better plan."
"What plan?" both elders asked at once.
"We wait. Don't act hastily. Go just over half a month from now, right before the next livestream."
"During that livestream, we publicly announce that we didn't find Tang Hao. Then, the moment the stream ends, we strike with full force."
"That way, we'll catch him completely off-guard. And this delay gives the elder of the Douluo Palace time to consider his next move."
"The livestream already revealed that Tang San, Tang Hao's son, will destroy Spirit Hall in the future."
"After learning that, even if that elder fears Tang Chen, could he really stay silent?"
Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened as she laid out her plan.
"Brilliant, Your Holiness!"
Both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's eyes lit up in admiration.
