The Pope was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
"In fact, I think a smart person like you should be able to figure it out yourself. Do you really need me to tell you everything?"
The Pope nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me this time. I will remember this favor."
Xiao Bing said calmly, "The Dragon Gate is in the east and the Vatican is in the west. The purpose of the Dragon Gate is to maintain order, mainly the safety of the people of Huaxia. As long as the Vatican does not go too far, I think there is no conflict of interest between us."
The Pope smiled and said, "Xiao Bing."
"Yes?"
"You're much more powerful than that Xu Mu from your Huaxia. Don't worry, the Vatican won't extend its reach too far. Besides, I heard that you've taken care of Ziying before. If you have time, you can come to my house. Our family will treat you well."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Then I will say thank you in advance and welcome you to Jingdu as a guest. Well … You have to be very careful about what I said just now. Don't be careless. "
"Don't worry, I will."
"Then I will hang up."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After the phone call with the Pope, Xiao Bing immediately realized that he had made the right choice. At least in a short time, the Vatican had absolutely no reason to be his enemy. Although the promise could not be taken seriously, the most important thing was that there was no conflict of interest between the Dragon Gate and the Vatican. As for the unpleasantness between Xiao Bing and the Vatican in the past, it could be directly ignored by the two big shots on both sides.
After the communication with the Pope, Xiao Bing began to devote himself to teaching Fang Yuanyuan. He asked Zhan Hongyan to teach Fang Yuanyuan how to kill, Xiao Bing personally taught Fang Yuanyuan how to use the momentum, and Drunk Top taught Fang Yuanyuan how to skillfully integrate her fiery personality into martial arts …
Fang Yuanyuan's strength reached the middle stage of Elixir-strength when there was only half of the time left. And a few days before the competition, Fang Yuanyuan had completely consolidated in the middle stage of Elixir-strength.
There were only three days left before the competition. That night, Xiao Bing gathered the three of them together. Before returning to Xiao Mansion for dinner, Xiao Bing looked at the three of them and said, "Lei Jing, Zhou Shaopeng, I'll give you two a week off from tomorrow."
Lei Jing's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Really?"
"Yes." Xiao Bing nodded with a smile.
Lei Jing cheered and jumped up. Although their training wasn't as cruel as Fang Yuanyuan's, it wasn't easy at all. After almost a month of crazy training, their bodies and minds were reaching their limits.
Xiao Bing looked at Fang Yuanyuan and said, "You can have a good rest now. Go home tomorrow morning. You haven't been home for a long time. Go the day after tomorrow and let them know who said women are not as good as men!"
"Alright!" Fang Yuanyuan suddenly bowed to Xiao Bing and said, "Thank you, master. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this confidence. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get rid of the discrimination of my family in my hometown."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I didn't give you dignity. You earned it for yourself. How about now, do you have the confidence to defeat Fang Zhi?"
"Yes. Although he is at the peak of Elixir-strength, which is a little higher than me, I don't see him as a powerful opponent anymore."
"Not bad, not bad. As a warrior, you must have this kind of confidence. Seeing your confident appearance, I now truly believe that you will win. Moreover, you are worthy of being my apprentice. I didn't say this before, but now I can tell you. Although I didn't want to accept you at all in the beginning, now I am proud of you. "
Fang Yuanyuan's eyes sparkled and she asked excitedly, "Master, won't you go back with me this time?"
"I don't think so." Xiao Bing smiled and said, "You are not a child anymore. Now I believe that no matter what happens, you can solve it by yourself. When this is done, you can come back. I think I will be away for a few days, so you can rest for a few days. When I come back, I will continue training you."
"Well, I know, master. Even when you are away, I will not slack off. I will make use of every second to improve. I will not embarrass you and strive to reach the Gang-strength realm as soon as possible."
Xiao Bing nodded with a smile and said, "I trust you very much."
Zhou Shaopeng asked carefully, "Master, do you trust me?"
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "What I want you to know is that the greatest meaning in this world is not just martial arts. The greatest meaning in this world is to pursue your own life and dreams. Some people want to find someone they love and spend the rest of their life with. Some people may want to protect their families, some people want to be with their parents, and some people want to live freely. In my eyes, it is enough for you to live your own life."
Zhou Shaopeng showed a trace of a thoughtful expression, then secretly looked at his junior sister and said, "I know, master."
Xiao Bing could see that Zhou Shaopeng was really interested in Lei Jing. But in Xiao Bing's opinion, the possibility of them being together was very small. But this kind of thing was not something that Xiao Bing could intervene in. They had to solve their feelings by themselves, even if he was their master. If he could not solve it well, it would be easy for them to resent him.
After taking them back to the House of Xiao for dinner, everyone at the dining table encouraged Fang Yuanyuan. Maggie even waved her little hand and shouted, "Show those people what we're made of. Let them know that women are not easy to bully. Women can hold up half the sky!"
Fang Yuanyuan nodded hard. Her eyes were red. She looked at everyone and said, "Thank you, thank you all for supporting me for so long. Thank you, master …"
Yezi smiled and said, "Yuanyuan, are you going to cry? This doesn't seem like your personality. According to my understanding, you should be carefree, daring to love and hate, and daring to think and do. Just like your family was discriminated against by the people in your hometown. But in the end, you still stood up. Even without Brother Bing, I believe you will still stand up. Even if you are defeated, you will not back down. That is the Fang Yuanyuan in my eyes! "
Fang Yuanyuan looked at Yezi in surprise and said unbelievably, "Really … Masteress, in your eyes, am I like this?"
"Yes, you are as good as I said."
"Thank you … Not many people have praised me like this since I was a child. I am not as smart as my sister, and my character is not as good. I am always in a hurry, like a tomboy …"
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Sometimes a person's weakness can also be a person's strength. In fact, you are like this."
Fang Yuanyuan wiped her eyes and stood up. She said, "You guys are making me cry. I'm full, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
After that, she hurriedly ran out of the dining room. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
Xiao Bing shook his head and laughed. "This Fang Yuanyuan, I didn't expect that she would be fine when people criticize her. No matter how strict they are, she can't take a few compliments!"
Liu Kexin said, "That is true character."
"Yes." Lei Jing also couldn't help but say, "After knowing her for so long, I really think that my senior sister is a good person with true character! Senior Brother, we are all brothers and sisters. This time, we can't let senior sister go back alone. Why don't we go with her and support her? "
Zhou Shaopeng said, "Okay. Master has given us a few days off. Master, what do you think?"
Xiao Bing was very pleased. He said with a smile, "This is your business. You can decide for yourself. It has nothing to do with me."
"Okay, then we will do as my junior sister said."
Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and said, "Brother Bing, Sister Yanzhi finished her examination today and the result is very good. She can be discharged tomorrow. I think you should go and pick her up in person. Actually, any of us can go, but it may be better if you go. "
"Okay, I will go tomorrow." Xiao Bing agreed.
Maggie said, "Brother Bing."
"Yes."
Maggie looked at Xiao Bing eagerly, and her voice was a little coquettish. "I always think that Brother Bing is the best, as good as my Brother Fei …"
Maggie's voice was enough to make any man fall at her feet. But for Xiao Bing, he only felt afraid. He swallowed and said helplessly, "You little witch, just say what you want to say. Don't scare me in this way. I am timid and can't stand your scare."
Maggie giggled, and the others couldn't help laughing. Then they saw Maggie said proudly, "Then I will say it directly."
"Well, go ahead. But I have to say that no matter what it is, I have not agreed to it now. I have to wait until you finish talking before I decide."
Maggie said, "I know, but you've already promised me. You can't go back on your word … You said before that when you're done with your work, you'll go to Shaolin to have a look, and you'll take me there."
"Oh, you mean this thing." Xiao Bing thought for a moment. He did intend to go to Shaolin and have a good talk with the abbot. After all, Xiao Bing had reached a bottleneck in his martial arts realm. It was a little difficult for him to make progress. It was better than building a cart behind closed doors. Shaolin was a very safe place. Although it might not be good for Maggie as a girl, it should be easier for the person he brought there. So Xiao Bing agreed. "Okay, I will take you there in a few days!"
"Oh yeah, that's great. Long live Brother Bing!"
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "Don't say long live me. Just don't try to make fun of me in the future."
Everyone burst into laughter.
