Qian Renxue Was Bullied

For example, Yu Xiaogang clearly knew Tang San's identity and the conflict between Tang San and Spirit Hall, yet he still had Tang San go to Spirit Hall for the final Soul Master Competition.

Judging by the apparent truth, the previous pope, Qian Xunji, had died at Tang Hao's hands. Yet Yu Xiaogang still had Tang San go to Spirit Hall to compete—wasn't that practically sending him to his death?

For the sake of having Tang San make a name for him in the competition, Yu Xiaogang had utterly disregarded Tang San's safety.

Who knew whether he had overlooked it deliberately or for some other reason? Perhaps Yu Xiaogang did care about Tang San, but certain things had blinded him.

Perhaps, to him, Tang San achieving good results, making a name for himself, and proving himself mattered more.

Then there was the matter of Yu Xiaogang going to Spirit Hall ahead of time to ask Bibi Dong for a way to resolve the drawbacks of Twin Martial Souls. What Yu Xiaogang did there was also rather unscrupulous.

He did not go early, nor did he go late. He had rushed over only after Tang San exposed his Twin Martial Souls and revealed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul during the competition.

Perhaps Yu Xiaogang also knew very well that once word of Tang San's Twin Martial Souls reached Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong would certainly guess Tang San's identity. That was why he had hurriedly gone to ask Bibi Dong for a way to resolve the drawbacks of Twin Martial Souls.

Asking Bibi Dong to teach something so important to the son of the man who had killed her husband—who knew what Yu Xiaogang had been thinking.

And there was more... in short, a lot more.

Shaking his head, Mu Ge quickly cast Yu Xiaogang from his mind and continued immersing himself in the sea of learning.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?"

Only when a crisp, pleasant voice rang out was Mu Ge roused from his studies.

Having been disturbed, Mu Ge was somewhat displeased. There should not have been many people able to enter the reading area where he was. He himself had only been able to read here because he carried the Saintess Token.

Raising his head, Mu Ge looked toward the source of the voice.

A delicate little blonde girl immediately came into view.

She had a small, exquisite, beautiful face and bright, watery eyes. Even at such a young age, it was clear that she would grow into a beauty.

Qian Renxue?

Seeing her appearance, Mu Ge immediately made the connection.

Once he knew that the little girl before him was Qian Renxue, the displeasure that had just risen in Mu Ge's heart vanished at once, replaced by a touch of delight.

"I should be the one asking you that. Who are you? How did you get in here?"

Mu Ge looked at Qian Renxue as he spoke.

"This library belongs to my family. I can come whenever I want!"

Hearing Mu Ge's words, Qian Renxue lifted her chin and declared loudly.

"This library belongs to Spirit Hall. How could it possibly belong to your family?"

"It isn't good for children to lie. Come on, how exactly did you get in here, little girl?"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's smug words, Mu Ge naturally knew that she was telling the truth. But he pretended not to know, acting as though he was certain Qian Renxue was boasting.

As he spoke, Mu Ge even reached out and pinched Qian Renxue's cute little cheek as punishment for lying.

Mm... alright, Mu Ge had simply found Qian Renxue so adorable that he could not resist pinching her cheek. And sure enough, it was tender and smooth, with an excellent feel!

"Ah..."

"You bad guy!"

After Mu Ge pinched her cheek, Qian Renxue cried out in surprise. She hurriedly retreated several steps, then glared at Mu Ge with puffed cheeks and shouted angrily.

But her voice was so childish that it was not intimidating at all. Instead, Mu Ge found her even more adorable!

"Spirit Hall belongs to our family too, so of course this library belongs to our family! I wasn't lying!"

"You bullied me! I'm going to tell my grandfather!"

Qian Renxue argued her case indignantly.

After saying that, Qian Renxue intended to go back and complain to her grandfather.

"Wait..."

Seeing that Qian Renxue was about to go complain to Qian Daoliu, Mu Ge hurriedly stopped her.

If Qian Renxue really went and complained, that would be bad!

Given how much Qian Daoliu doted on Qian Renxue, Mu Ge would definitely suffer for it.

A moment of itchy hands brought a moment of satisfaction—seemed like acting on impulse was not always a good idea.

"What? Are you scared now?"

Seeing that Mu Ge seemed afraid, Qian Renxue immediately became smug.

"You said Spirit Hall belongs to your family too? What is Pope Your Majesty to you?"

Knowing that Qian Renxue wanted to see him frightened now, Mu Ge played along. Of course, he really was somewhat afraid as well.

"He's my father. So what?"

Seeing that Mu Ge had already guessed it and wore a frightened expression, Qian Renxue raised her chin once more.

"Ah..."

"That... I was wrong just now. I apologize!"

Mu Ge hurriedly offered Qian Renxue a solemn apology.

He had already pinched her anyway; apologizing wouldn't cost him a piece of flesh.

"Hmph! So now you know how to be scared?"

Seeing Mu Ge's frightened look, Qian Renxue was no longer quite so angry. Instead, she felt thoroughly satisfied.

"Then tell me, how did you get in here? This shouldn't be somewhere you're allowed to enter, right?"

Afterward, Qian Renxue curiously pressed Mu Ge for an answer.

"I'm the Saintess's personal guard. The Saintess gave me this, which is how I was able to enter!"

Mu Ge took out the Saintess Token and explained.

"Mother's token? Mother actually gave you her token?"

"You're actually Mother's personal guard?"

Seeing the Saintess Token in Mu Ge's hand, Qian Renxue could not help being surprised. Her big eyes studied him curiously. She had never expected the guy who had bullied her to be her mother's personal guard.

"You're the Saintess's daughter?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Mu Ge had no choice but to show his surprise again.

Because the fact that Qian Renxue was Bibi Dong's daughter was still being kept secret, and only a very small number of people knew.

Bibi Dong was unwilling to acknowledge it, while Qian Xunji still had some sense of shame. Getting his own disciple pregnant was not exactly something that sounded good.

Since Bibi Dong did not want it made public, he agreed. Thus, the fact that Qian Renxue was Bibi Dong's daughter remained hidden. Whenever outsiders were present, Bibi Dong also had Qian Renxue call her Elder Sister.

"Yeah, but it seems this can't be made public. Don't tell anyone!"

At that moment, Qian Renxue seemed to realize that she had said something she should not have. She hurriedly warned Mu Ge.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut!"

Mu Ge hurriedly promised in fright.

"That's good. At your age, do you still have to study?"

Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction, then curiously questioned Mu Ge again.
