However, Hu Liena called him to the quiet room alone to talk about this, clearly not wanting others to know about it.
Moreover, judging from Hu Liena's current state, this was probably not a task assigned privately by Bibi Dong.
This shows that Bibi Dong's backlash has already reached the point where those around her are aware of it.
Looking at Hu Liena's expectant eyes, Mu Ci smiled and nodded:
"Of course, no problem. I can give you some in a bit. If you need more later, just tell the sect's merchant guild and they can deliver it directly to Martial Soul City."
Mu Ci's affirmative answer made Hu Liena breathe a huge sigh of relief.
The matter of Bibi Dong had actually been buried in Hu Liena's heart for a long time.
As someone who was like a teacher and a mother to Hu Liena, Bibi Dong's affairs were always her top priority.
Every time Hu Liena heard Bibi Dong's suppressed moans in the dark, she felt a deep sense of empathy and her heart ached.
This also made Hu Liena determined to help her teacher solve this problem.
However, Hu Liena had never known how to help the other party.
So I kept it to myself until I met Mu Ci and finally asked her about it.
With the teacher's matter resolved, Hu Liena felt much better, and her gaze towards Mu Ci softened considerably.
Suddenly, Hu Liena remembered something from before.
"Um, Sect Master Mu Ci?"
"Just call me Mu Ci. Since we're talking privately, let's not use formal titles."
Hu Liena blinked excitedly, completely agreeing.
"There's something about Xue Qinghe that I'm not sure if I should say."
Xue Qinghe?
How did she get in touch with Xue Qinghe again? Did Hu Liena discover that Xue Qinghe was an imposter?
Thinking of this, Mu Ci's expression became slightly serious.
"This quiet room has excellent soundproofing. You can speak directly if there's anything you need to say without worrying about it being leaked."
Hu Liena couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw Mu Ci in this state.
"What I want to say is, Mu Ci, you should keep some distance from Xue Qinghe. I noticed that the way he looked at you at the ceremony was very strange."
"Moreover, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire has always been indifferent to women. He doesn't even have a regular concubine, let alone a Crown Princess."
"Therefore, I suspect that he, like some nobles, had a preference for male homosexuality."
Hu Liena looked at Mu Ci and spoke with absolute certainty.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ci nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a girl's intuition leading to a misperception.
No, that's not quite right. It's not exactly an illusion, but Xue Qinghe's appearance is indeed somewhat deceptive.
Mu Ci's serious expression relaxed, and she looked at Hu Liena with a wry smile.
"Thank you for reminding me, Nana. I will be careful."
Hearing Mu Ci's thanks, Hu Liena's fox-like eyes narrowed happily.
As long as Mu Ci listens, that's fine. She doesn't want Mu Ci to be corrupted by bad influences.
"In that case, let's go out. I'll send a disciple to deliver the pills you requested to you later."
In another quiet room.
Not long after Hu Liena and the others left, Qian Renxue went to find Mu Ci alone.
Qian Renxue took the tea from Mu Ci, sipped it, and stared at him with her golden eyes without saying a word.
After a while, Mu Ci also felt a little uneasy under Qian Renxue's gaze and spoke up.
"Sister Xue, if you have a question, just ask it. Why are you looking at me like that?"
Upon hearing Mu Ci's question, Qian Renxue twitched her nostrils and snorted.
"Let's see if you've been seduced by that vixen. I saw what she looks like after her martial soul evolved. Has she already taken root in your heart?"
So it turns out Qian Renxue is still jealous of the little fox.
Mu Ci couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Am I as lecherous as you say?"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Mu Ci, pouting her red lips, and said, "But I didn't see you refuse."
Mu Ci immediately shut up, since it was the truth and he couldn't answer.
However, Qian Renxue didn't say much about this, only mentioning that it was a playful banter between the two.
But if you say too much and really portray Mu Ci as someone who is devoted to pure love, and whose other half is another girl, then she's the one who should be crying.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue asked gently, "Alright, I just want to ask what you two talked about. After all, I'm quite curious about your private conversation."
Mu Ci looked at Qian Renxue with some surprise.
"You planted a spy in my midst? Hu Liena and the others only left recently, and you already know?"
"No, I just overheard Elder Lingyuan and Dugu Yan talking about what just happened, so I came to find you."
Qian Renxue lowered her head somewhat shyly, then looked at Mu Ci with a probing gaze.
Seeing Qian Renxue's curious gaze, Mu Ci began to tell her about Hu Liena.
This wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, and all of these things could be related to Qian Renxue.
"His Holiness the Pope may be having some trouble sleeping. Hu Liena asked me for some calming and sleep-inducing pills so I can take them back to her."
Hearing about Hu Liena's actions, Qian Renxue's gaze became somewhat complicated. She hadn't expected that her mother's disciple would be so considerate, knowing to worry about her teacher's health.
Suddenly, Qian Renxue's feelings towards Hu Liena were not as annoyed as before, and her prejudice against her lessened slightly.
That's true. Their relationship had long since deteriorated to an unknown degree, and they were separated by hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. They hadn't seen each other for many years, so it was normal that they didn't know about the problems that Bibi Dong had encountered.
Despite their current estrangement and mutual dislike, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong still care about each other to some extent.
"Little brother, do you think she'll be alright?"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but worry about Bibi Dong's health.
Mu Ci shook her head.
After all, Bibi Dong is destined to become the Rakshasa God in the future, so how could this little bit of pain possibly defeat her?
"It's alright. It's probably because the Pope has a lot of work and is a little overworked. He'll be fine after a rest."
"Since you're so worried about her, why don't you go back and check on her?"
Qian Renxue shook her head silently.
Her personality is just like hers; if they meet, they'll only argue, so it's better if they don't see each other.
Qian Renxue skipped over this topic and then asked another question.
Is this the only thing?
Mu Ci thought of what Hu Liena had said earlier and coughed twice.
"There's one more thing, but don't be angry when you hear it."
Qian Renxue nodded with some curiosity. What could have made her angry? She couldn't help but feel a little curious again.
"Hu Liena saw how you approached me while impersonating Xue Qinghe."
Qian Renxue was even more puzzled. What's wrong with that? Weren't we often together before? It's normal.
"She told me to stay away from you, saying that Xue Qinghe is attracted to men."

No sooner had Mu Ci finished speaking than Qian Renxue crushed the teacup in her hand. Her jade-like face was now as cold as frost, and her silver teeth made a soft grinding sound.
"Hu Liena!"
"Sister Xue, calm down. Hu Liena doesn't know your identity, so it's normal for there to be some misunderstandings."
Mu Ci quickly sat down next to Qian Renxue and used a tissue to wipe the water stains off her hands and in front of her.
"You're still speaking up for her?"
"No, no, it's really a misunderstanding. I didn't speak to Hu Liena."
"By the way, Sister Xue, what do you think of Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo?"
He carefully took Qian Renxue's hand and soothed her emotions.
Mu Ci then steered the conversation to other topics.
Hearing Mu Ci mention other things, Qian Renxue's anger immediately subsided somewhat.
"Elder Chrysanthemum Ghost? He is quite good in both strength and handling matters, and is a capable assistant to His Holiness the Pope."
"Young man, why are you asking this?"
Mu Ci smiled as she looked at Qian Renxue's beautiful face.
"Then, Sister Xue, why don't you take these two elders under your command?"
"That must be difficult, considering these two have been by her side for so long."
Mu Ci shook her head.
"As long as you swing the hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig down."
"Listen to me..."
Chapter 85 Poaching
Heavenly Dou City Martial Soul Temple.
In a quiet, secluded room, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo waited on the sofa with furrowed brows.
"Old Ghost, what do you think Salas means? Is there anyone in Heaven Dou City worth making us wait like this?"
