Chapter 73: Apologize to Su Bai

"Qian Daoliu..."

Su Bai was somewhat surprised to feel his aura suddenly neutralized. There was only one person in the Spirit Hall capable of such a feat.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties slowly descended from the sky. He wore a gray robe and had a handsome appearance with long black hair, exuding a serene and otherworldly aura.

He was Qian Daoliu, the Grand Worshiper of the Spirit Hall and the father of Qian Xunji.

Originally, Qian Daoliu didn't intend to intervene in these trivial matters. However, since the reputation of the Qian family and the Spirit Hall was at stake, he had no choice. No matter how incompetent Qian Xunji might be, he was still the Pope of the Spirit Hall. If he were to kneel before Su Bai, the Spirit Hall would become the laughingstock of the Douluo Continent.

Thus, Qian Daoliu had to step in.

"Be careful," Bibi Dong's expression changed upon seeing Qian Daoliu arrive, worried that Su Bai might suffer.

"Father, kill him for me!" Qian Xunji was overjoyed. With his father here, the wild man before him was as good as dead. Once his father killed this man, his beloved disciple would surely return to his side.

Boom!

Su Bai and Qian Daoliu were both releasing their auras. Upon Qian Daoliu's arrival, Su Bai decided to test him, intensifying his own aura. But Qian Daoliu was an Ultimate Douluo with profound cultivation.

As their auras clashed, both were equally shocked.

Especially Qian Daoliu, who hadn't roamed the Douluo Continent for a long time. He hadn't expected someone like Su Bai, a soul beast with such immense power, to appear. Just based on his aura, Su Bai could rival him. His strength must be formidable, explaining why Bibi Dong favored him.

Bibi Dong, raised in the Spirit Hall, was known for her strong personality and had never shown interest in any man. Even Qian Xunji, a titled Douluo and her teacher, only received her respect, nothing more. That was in the past, of course. Now, knowing Qian Xunji's sordid intentions, she despised him.

But this powerful Bibi Dong was willing to follow this soul beast, Su Bai, indicating his exceptional nature.

Boom!

Both withdrew their auras simultaneously, each taking a step back.

Bibi Dong hurried forward. "Are you alright?"

Su Bai shook his head, acknowledging Qian Daoliu's formidable strength. He thought, 'As expected of an Ultimate Douluo, his power is not to be underestimated.'

Qian Daoliu, though, hadn't gained any advantage. Seeing them retract their auras, Qian Xunji approached his father, pleading, "Father, please kill this wild man."

Only by killing Su Bai could he regain his dignity and possibly have Bibi Dong return to his side.

Qian Daoliu didn't respond immediately, his brow furrowing. "Father?" Qian Xunji was confused and anxious.

Qian Daoliu slowly shook his head. "I can't kill him."

What?!

Qian Xunji's eyes widened in disbelief. His father, a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo, couldn't handle this man? Impossible!

At this moment, a storm raged in Qian Xunji's mind. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were shocked. It made sense why they were easily injured earlier; this man's strength was indeed formidable. They couldn't be blamed for their defeat.

Qian Xunji ground his teeth. If even his father couldn't kill Su Bai, who else could? This meant Bibi Dong would never return to him. Unacceptable!

The thought made Qian Xunji extremely agitated. If looks could kill, Su Bai would have died a thousand times over by now. Bibi Dong, on the other hand, felt a sense of pride. This was her man, someone even Qian Daoliu couldn't defeat.

Seeing Bibi Dong's expression only agitated Qian Xunji further.

At this moment, Su Bai spoke, "Qian Daoliu, control your son's mouth, or I won't hesitate to destroy the Spirit Hall."

Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed tighter as he weighed the pros and cons. Although Qian Xunji was his son, he had always been disappointed in him, considering him a hopeless case. His main concern was the future of the Spirit Hall and the inheritance of the Angel God.

Su Bai's strength rivaled his own, and with the Dragon God Hall filled with powerful soul beasts, Su Bai could seriously damage the Spirit Hall even if he couldn't destroy it.

The survival of the Spirit Hall was at stake, and Qian Daoliu couldn't take the risk. Therefore, he looked at Qian Xunji and said, "Apologize to him!"

"Father, you..." Qian Xunji was in disbelief. His father was compromising? "Impossible!" he refused outright. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong's teacher, bowing to Su Bai would ruin his dignity.

Qian Daoliu's tone remained calm but firm, "If you refuse, step down from the Pope's position."

Though his tone was calm, there was no room for negotiation. Those who knew him understood he wasn't joking, even with his own son.

Qian Xunji knew his father's character well and realized he wasn't joking. Feeling utterly humiliated but not wanting to lose his position, he reluctantly apologized to Su Bai, "I'm sorry!"

Su Bai shook his head. "Not enough."

Qian Daoliu understood Su Bai's dissatisfaction with Qian Xunji's insincere attitude. Su Bai was already showing respect by only asking for an apology. Sensing his father's gaze, Qian Xunji felt even more aggrieved but had no choice. He stepped forward and bowed his head, "I'm sorry."

His words were apologetic, but his eyes were filled with malice, promising future vengeance.

Su Bai didn't care about that. Seeing this, he decided not to push further. "Dong'er, let's go."

Nodding slightly, Su Bai and Bibi Dong left gracefully.

Qian Daoliu also gave Qian Xunji a cold glance before leaving.

"Damn it!" Qian Xunji's eyes were bloodshot with rage, wishing he could kill Su Bai instantly. The mighty Pope of the Spirit Hall, humiliated in his own domain!

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo still present, Qian Xunji's cold stare made them hurriedly assure, "Rest assured, Your Holiness, we saw nothing."

With a cold snort, Qian Xunji stormed off, his heart burning with hatred.
