Chapter 8 Becoming an Apprentice! Qin Mu's Hidden Card
Faced with Bibi Dong's threat, Qin Mu laughed out of character.
"Your Holiness, even if I cannot explain, you will absolutely not kill me. Moreover, you will definitely nurture me with great effort."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly. She looked at Qin Mu with a complicated gaze and asked with a cold laugh, "Are you so sure?"
"If I had to give a reason, it would be that we all have a common enemy."
Spirit Kite Douluo, standing to the side, was completely bewildered, and her head was already starting to smoke.
As the most brainless, hot-tempered, and combat-oriented Title Douluo in the Spirit Hall, it's better to let her fight against 100,000-year-old spirit beasts than to have her listen to smart people talk.
Their eyes met, and after a moment, Bibi Dong's cold expression vanished, replaced by a gentle smile.
"Qin Mu, you are indeed clever. You truly deserve to be a genius with innate full soul power!"
Seeing Bibi Dong like this, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that my entry into the Spirit Hall is now a done deal.
Just as Qin Mu had predicted, Bibi Dong would never kill him.
Why?
First of all, Qin Mu, as a genius with innate full soul power, is definitely one of the most outstanding talents, not to mention in the Spirit Hall, even on the entire continent.
Such a talent could very well become a potential successor to the next Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect. If he were truly to be used by the Clear Sky Sect, would they send him out to infiltrate the Spirit Hall?
To put it another way, if two countries were at war, would the king of one country send his virtuous and capable crown prince to the enemy country openly to act as an inside agent?
Unless the king is a fool, then absolutely not.
Secondly, as Qin Mu said, the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect was ultimately Tang Hao's problem alone.
It was Tang Hao's "killing" of the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, that led to the conflict between the two forces.
In other words, if Bibi Dong accepted Qin Mu, who possessed the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, wouldn't that be seen by outsiders as a way of embracing diversity?
Bibi Dong had only recently assumed the position, and although she did so through her own abilities and strength, there were still some dissenting opinions within the Elders' Hall.
At this time, Bibi Dong desperately needed positive feedback from the outside world.
When the Spirit Hall, led by Bibi Dong, appears to outsiders as a thriving and talent-recruiting force, it naturally proves Bibi Dong's ability as Pope.
Finally, Qin Mu, who is standing in front of her, is only six years old.
How could a six-year-old child with innate full soul power, who could even be considered a strategic talent in the Spirit Hall, be given up so easily?
Regardless of Qin Mu's purpose in coming, he was only six years old.
What kind of thoughts could a six-year-old child have?
In Bibi Dong's view, as long as she can give Qin Mu more care and favors, she may be able to influence him and make him a true member of the Spirit Hall.
As for the enemy Qin Mu mentioned at the end, Bibi Dong naturally assumed that he was referring to Tang Hao.
What Qin Mu really wanted to say was, "You little bastard."
Now that I've joined the Spirit Hall, there's no need to keep that little punk around as a variable.
As long as I can get rid of this scoundrel, I can just sit back and watch the Spirit Hall achieve final victory.
Moreover, the little scoundrel's actions were no less egregious than those of his father, Tang Hao.
There's also the Master, who influences Bibi Dong, and she needs to find a way to deal with him to ensure Bibi Dong wins the final battle.
"Qin Mu, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
To Qin Mu's surprise, Bibi Dong expressed her willingness to take on disciples.
On the other side, Spirit Kite Douluo's brain completely shut down upon seeing the scene before her.
What's going on? Weren't they just about to kill Qin Mu? How come they're just looking at each other and suddenly want to take each other as disciples?
You two have hit it off?!
Under the dumbfounded gaze of Spirit Kite Douluo, Qin Mu did not hesitate at all and immediately performed a disciple-acceptance ceremony to Bibi Dong.
"Disciple Qin Mu greets Master!"
Spirit Kite Douluo felt that she was increasingly unable to understand the situation.
"Qin Mu, although becoming my disciple will give you some advantages in terms of status, you still cannot slack off in your cultivation!"
"Besides you, I have another disciple named Hu Liena, who is your senior sister."
"Ling Yuan, you and Qin Mu go to the Spirit Hall Academy to find Nana. Nana just recently reached level 20, so take the two of them with you to hunt for spirit rings."
After saying that, Bibi Dong waved to the two of them and was about to leave when Qin Mu called her back.
"Your Holiness...Teacher! There's one more thing!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Qin Mu. At this moment, Bibi Dong seemed to be in a great mood, and her tone became much gentler.
"What's up?"
"Teacher, I have something very important to report to you!"
As Qin Mu spoke, he glanced at Ling Yuan beside him.
"Ling Yuan, you go outside and wait."
Ling Yuan scratched her head, wondering what Qin Mu was up to, but she still left the council hall as ordered.
After Ling Yuan left, Bibi Dong turned to Qin Mu and asked, "Tell me, what is it?"
Seeing that no one was around, Qin Mu immediately walked towards Bibi Dong.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong wasn't worried at all; instead, she was curious about what Qin Mu was doing that was so mysterious.
The Qin Mu in front of her was just a child with a soul power level of ten. Even if Qin Mu wanted to, he couldn't do anything about it.
As Qin Mu walked up to Bibi Dong, he looked closely at her flawless face and her elegant and noble aura. Even he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Qin Mu leaned close to Bibi Dong's ear, gently inhaling the relaxing fragrance emanating from her, and whispered something.
"What did you say?!"
Qin Mu had only spoken half a sentence when Bibi Dong suddenly stood up. Her previously calm emotions instantly turned agitated, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Qin Mu, are you telling the truth?"
Qin Mu was so shocked by the sudden burst of aura emanating from Bibi Dong that he fell to the ground with a thud, wincing in pain.
"Absolutely true, teacher, I'd stake my life on it!"
After speaking, Qin Mu stopped talking and instead watched Bibi Dong's reaction.
For a moment, the only sound in the council hall was Bibi Dong's heavy breathing.
"Good! If what you said is true, then you have done a great service for the Spirit Hall!"
"You go back first, I'll take care of the rest."
Bibi Dong's expression was uncertain, as if she was thinking about something.
Having achieved his goal, Qin Mu bid farewell to Bibi Dong and left the council hall.
From the very beginning, Qin Mu had calculated all the possible outcomes.
Since he dared to expose his Clear Sky Hammer Spirit and join the Spirit Hall, he must have already made the worst-case scenario plan.
If Bibi Dong really doesn't do what Qin Mu wants, then he will directly reveal his trump card.
Ultimately, it's not so much that the Spirit Hall hates the Clear Sky Sect, but rather that the Spirit Hall hates Tang Hao.
In other words, as long as he can ensure that he has no connection with Tang Hao, joining the Spirit Hall will be absolutely harmless.
How can I prove that I have no connection with Tang Hao?
It's simple, just sell Tang Hao.
What Qin Mu just said to Bibi Dong was his trump card for saving his life.
It was just a very short sentence.
"Tang Hao is currently in Holy Soul Village!"
