One month later.
Both Bibi Dong and Yu Chen were released from their confinement.
Qian Xunji thought that this month of cooling-off period would allow Bibi Dong's mindset to return to peace.
Unbeknownst to him, this instead backfired.
It was like adding fuel to the fire in an invisible way.
A full month of confinement.
Not only did it not diminish Bibi Dong's good feelings and curiosity towards Yu Chen.
Instead, it made the suppressed flame in her heart burn even more fiercely.
So much so that as soon as she walked out of the confinement room, she immediately rushed out to search for Yu Chen's whereabouts.
However, the scene she had envisioned of Yu Chen reading in the library did not appear.
The vast library was now empty, which made Bibi Dong feel a surge of panic.
After a thorough search and multiple inquiries.
Bibi Dong finally learned that after Yu Chen left the confinement room, he did nothing else but immediately came to the slum in the southwest corner of Holy City to self-fund free porridge distribution, helping disaster victims and impoverished families.
Hearing about Yu Chen's actions, Bibi Dong naturally felt curious and surprised.
She even subconsciously thought at first that he was deliberately trying to win over people's hearts.
However, this thought disappeared completely after Bibi Dong saw Yu Chen in person.
Watching Yu Chen, who was leading the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members to distribute porridge at the stall.
Under the scorching sun, he was sweating profusely but showed no signs of fatigue.
Seeing the heartfelt smile on his face.
The doubts that had just arisen in Bibi Dong's heart not only dissipated, but she even felt a inexplicable sense of guilt.
Yu Chen obviously noticed Bibi Dong's arrival.
Feeling Bibi Dong's strange gaze directed at him.
He reached out and touched his cheek.
He also felt a bit uncomfortable.
With a strange look, he asked again.
"Miss Bibi Dong, why are you looking at me with such an expression?"
"Is there a flower on my face, or was there anything inappropriate about what I just did?"
It was only when she heard Yu Chen's question that Bibi Dong came back to her senses.
Then, she spoke without pretense, but rather with genuine emotion.
"Nothing, I just suddenly feel that you are more suitable to be the successor of Spirit Hall than me. It would be great if you weren't the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"At that time, if you were to inherit Spirit Hall, it would definitely be a unanimous vote, and no one would stand up to oppose it!"
Bibi Dong's words came from the heart.
She truly felt that if Yu Chen could succeed to the position of Supreme Pontiff, with his character and conduct, he would absolutely become a qualified Supreme Pontiff.
He might even become the greatest and most beloved Supreme Pontiff in the history of Spirit Hall, far surpassing her own master, Qian Xunji.
…
This point.
It wasn't just Bibi Dong who thought so.
In Douluo Continent.
A group of onlookers all had similar views on this.
"What Bibi Dong said is absolutely true. I also feel that Yu Chen's ideals and Spirit Hall are perfectly aligned. If he weren't from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he would probably already be the Saint Son of Spirit Hall."
Under the heavenly curtain.
Hearing him say this, a resident of Spirit Hall immediately couldn't help but exclaim with emotion.
However, his words had just fallen when he was interrupted by someone next to him, who reminded him with a strange look.
"Wait!"
"Did you forget something important?"
"According to the heavenly curtain's preview, this guy eventually became the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall."
The speaker was surprised, but after a moment of thought, he not only didn't feel enlightened, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.
He then said with a bit of confusion.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. This guy eventually led the Spirit Hall army to unify the entire world. But how is that possible? Even if Bibi Dong is not as good as Yu Chen, she is already a top-tier figure in the entire Douluo Continent.
And she is also a trusted subordinate personally trained by him. What exactly did Yu Chen do in the end to make Qian Xunji choose to pass on the position of Supreme Pontiff to him instead of Bibi Dong?"
And this time when he asked again.
No one could give an answer.
Instead, they all looked up at the heavenly curtain above.
It was clear that everyone was deeply curious and puzzled about this matter.
And at the same time that everyone was curious and perplexed about this.
On the heavenly curtain.
Bibi Dong also questioned Yu Chen about the reason for his porridge distribution.
…
Facing Bibi Dong's inquiry, Yu Chen likewise did not hide anything, frankly stating his intention to leave.
He directly said that he would be leaving Spirit Hall in half a month.
The reason he distributed porridge was purely because he saw the suffering of the people in this southwest corner when he arrived.
He simply wanted to do some good deeds and express his goodwill before leaving.
Clearly, Yu Chen also did not want to be thought of as deliberately trying to win over people's hearts.
So he explained very seriously and carefully at this moment.
However, upon hearing his words.
Bibi Dong's focus was not on what he had just said about the common people.
But on the latter half of his words.
When she spoke again at this moment.
Her pretty face was filled with reluctance and confusion.
"You're leaving?"
"You've only been in Spirit Hall for how long, and you're already leaving?"
"Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to travel the entire continent? It hasn't even been half a year, and you're already planning to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Seeing her expression, Yu Chen's expression remained unchanged, he simply replied calmly, clearly stating that all good things must come to an end, and he would leave Spirit Hall sooner or later.
His current departure was already more than half a month later than his planned time, considered a delayed departure.
Moreover, his departure from Spirit Hall this time was not to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but to continue exploring other places.
This action was, on the one hand, to broaden his horizons, and on the other hand, to collect Immortal Herbs to prepare for his upcoming breakthrough to level 60 and the continued evolution of his Spirit, Luo San Pao.
"Searching for Immortal Herbs to continue evolving the Spirit Luo San Pao?"
"Douluo Continent is so vast, Immortal Herbs are not easy to find. What's the difference between you just going to look for them and searching for a needle in a haystack?"
After hearing Yu Chen's reasons, Bibi Dong, in addition to her reluctance, couldn't help but show a bit more confusion on her face.
She reminded him again.
Seeing his demeanor, Yu Chen was full of confidence and replied again,
"When I say I'm going to look for Immortal Herbs, it means I already have a specific location and whereabouts. Otherwise, wouldn't that be shooting in the dark and misleading others?"
The more she saw him like this, the more curious Bibi Dong naturally became.
She couldn't help but ask him to get to the bottom of it.
Of course, when speaking, she also solemnly swore, clearly stating that she would never tell a third person about this matter.
She originally thought that Yu Chen would keep her in suspense or simply not tell her.
After all, Immortal Herbs were of great importance.
But she didn't expect Yu Chen to be far more generous than Bibi Dong had anticipated.
He very frankly revealed the location of the Immortal Herb he knew, clearly stating that he had also seen a wild history rumor while reading ancient texts, which said that two of the nine Dragon Kings, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, had fallen in the depths of Sunset Forest.
Immortal Herbs are not ordinary things, and it is naturally impossible for them to appear in common areas.
Only in places where such supreme gods have fallen.
Is there a chance for them to appear.
So he plans to go there today to investigate.
…
"The place where gods fell? Sunset Forest, where does such an opportunity exist?"
On the heavenly curtain, hearing him say this, Bibi Dong naturally expressed doubt.
And while she was doubting.
Under the heavenly curtain, the onlookers of Douluo Continent could not sit still.
Their hearts all began to stir.
