Even if ten million people died, I would still advance.
Xuanyuan Po felt that he could try this sort of thing.
But if it really did turn out like the archbishop said, if ten million people really did die, Xuanyuan Po could not make up his mind. Moreover, based on his understanding of Princess Luoluo, if she knew that she had to pay such an enormous price, she might prepare her dowry overnight and marry off the next morning.
The archbishop stood on tiptoe and patted Xuanyuan Po on the shoulder. After giving him a deep glance, he left with the Tang clan steward.
The Bear tribe leader, who had been waiting at the mouth of the alley for a very long time, walked over. He gave Xuanyuan Po a deep glance and then patted him on the shoulder.
He did not need to stand on tiptoe, as he was even taller and more muscular than Xuanyuan Po.
"The Great Zhou officials went to the Imperial City, but they did not come here. This means that their Imperial Court does not mind that Her Highness is married off to the Second Prince of the Great Western Continent."
The Bear tribe leader asked, "Just what is His Holiness the Pope thinking?"
Xuanyuan Po replied, "He probably doesn't know of this matter."
The Bear tribe leader asked, "Today was your own idea?"
Xuanyuan Po grunted in affirmation.
The Bear tribe leader sighed at him and said, "Back then, I wanted you to return to the tribe, but you refused, insisting on staying in White Emperor City. I couldn't do anything to you."
Xuanyuan Po very seriously said, "In the future, I will work hard for the tribe."
"We'll talk about this later. What I want to say is that you already won in the Pine Paths, so why did you go to the other two fighting platforms? This is already breaking the rules of the Heavenly Selection ceremony. "
The Bear tribe leader gestured two numbers and said, "If not for these two acting as your guarantor, Her Majesty could have made it so that you wouldn't be able to enter the Celestial Tree tomorrow."
Xuanyuan Po was rather shocked by the Bear tribe leader's hand. Why are the Xiang clan leader and the Shi clan leader speaking up for me?
He replied, "I wasn't thinking that much, nor was I intentionally breaking the rules. I just thought that if anyone dares to have any designs on Her Highness, I will beat them down."
The Bear tribe leader recalled Xuanyuan Po's words in front of the Imperial City and couldn't help but arch his brows. "Quite bold, but can you beat Xiao De?"
Xuanyuan Po very seriously pondered this question and came to a very certain conclusion. "I can't beat him."
The Bear tribe leader's raised brows fell back down. He sighed and said, "Then what's the point of saying all this?"
Xuanyuan Po said, "I want to give it a try, at least I want to persevere until the end."
The Bear Tribe Patriarch understood his meaning. The so-called persisting to the end was just stalling for time.
If he could delay for one more day, the Orthodoxy would have a better chance of responding, though it seemed that the chances were still very slim.
White Emperor City and the capital were separated by eighty thousand li of mountains and rivers. In the battle between the Divine the day before yesterday, the seal had severed the connection between the two.
The Bear tribe leader thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Xiao De might not be able to last until the end."
Xuanyuan Po was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
"When you participated in the Heavenly Selection ceremony, you were wholeheartedly thinking about Her Highness's marriage."
The Bear tribe leader stared into his eyes and said, "But do not forget that their goal is to become the White Emperor."
Xuanyuan Po was even more confused. If he won the Heavenly Selection ceremony and married Princess Luoluo, wouldn't he become the next White Emperor?
The Bear tribe leader left, but he did not explain anything. He only left behind a few very serious words.
"Your current ability to have these priests and the Tang clan stewards protect you truly is because of the Orthodox Academy, but do not forget that it was the tribe that sent you to the capital. Even if you insist on using the identity of the Orthodox Academy to fight, your butt shouldn't be too crooked. When you act, you should also consider the interests of the tribe."
Xuanyuan Po did not retort, only remained silent. These words were very reasonable. If not for the tribe's recommendation and favor, he would have never had the chance to go to the capital, much less meet Chen Changsheng and Luoluo, and then become the third student of the Orthodox Academy.
As he watched the Bear tribe leader's stalwart figure gradually vanish into the darkness, Xuanyuan Po suddenly thought of Tang Thirty-Six.
If Tang Thirty-Six heard these words, he would definitely mock him for having such a fat butt that he couldn't sit on a single stool.
Yes, why fret over which side his butt should sit on? Couldn't he just sit on two stools at the same time?
Xuanyuan Po instantly felt his body become much lighter. He turned and walked into the depths of the alley.
The Bear tribe warriors guarded the outermost street, the Tang clan experts and several cultivators from the south occupied the higher ground, and the priests of the Daoist Church of the Western Wastes guarded the alley.
The alley was very quiet, devoid of any sound.
Nearby was the temple of the Celestial Tree in the Pine Paths. It was abnormally quiet in the darkness, and one could faintly smell the scent of lamp oil.
At the very depths of the alley was the small courtyard that Xuanyuan Po had lived in for several years.
He pushed open the wooden door and walked into the courtyard. Stepping over the round white stones, he took off his shoes, washed his feet with clean water, and stood on the wooden floor.
He glanced at the short pine tree by the white wall, took in a deep breath, calmed his mind, and walked into the room.
The small courtyard seemed quiet, but many people were hidden. Besides those who had been ordered to protect him, there were also many people who were coldly watching him.
These gazes came from certain tribes, from the Council of Elders, from the Great Western Continent, and most of them naturally came from the Demi-human Imperial Court.
If anyone discovered that the two experts of the Divine Domain wanted by the Imperial Court had been living in this small courtyard this entire time …
Xuanyuan Po was confident that the warriors of the tribe, the priests, and the human cultivators would be incapable of preventing the small courtyard from being flattened.
Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi's injuries seemed … to have gotten a little better?
Xuanyuan Po did not understand medicine, so he could not be sure.
Wuqiong Bi had lost a great deal of blood after losing her arm and her face was still pale, but she had eaten all the steamed buns she had brought in the morning.
Bie Yanghong, on the other hand, was quietly sitting there, his expression calm and composed.
Xuanyuan Po noticed that the crystals on the floor had become much fainter, and the wooden pagodas had apparently been moved.
"Sir … are you alright?"
The light in the room was rather dim, so he could not confirm that the deathly aura on Bie Yanghong's face had dissipated.
With a gentle expression, Bie Yanghong replied, "I'm a little better, but I'm a little hungry."
Xuanyuan Po came to his senses and hurriedly left to prepare dinner.
But when he pushed open the paper door, he stopped and turned around to give Bie Yanghong a very serious bow. "Thank you, Sir."
He was thanking Bie Yanghong for the words he had said to him in the morning.
The fighting experience of an expert of the continent was the most precious harvest for any cultivator.
Walking out of the room, he took some firewood from the neat pile and began to light a fire to cook.
There were not many winter vegetables stored in the house, so he only made two simple dishes and stewed a pot of bacon and potato rice.
Bie Yanghong took the food and gave his thanks.
Wuqiong Bi's complexion was still very nasty, but in the end, she said no more harsh words, only snorted.
