Startled Awake on My Deathbed—Turns Out I Was the Clown?!

Seeing that, in the simulation, the plot had reached the point where Grandfather pulled Tang Chen along to confess to Bo Saixi.

Qian Renxue could not help but grow nervous.

What would the outcome be?

Would Bo Saixi choose Grandfather, Tang Chen, or neither of them?

However, seeing how confident Grandfather was in the simulation, and how Tang Chen had already married and had children...

Qian Renxue could not help but feel uneasy, sensing that Bo Saixi would most likely choose Grandfather.

After all, according to Grandfather...

Whether in appearance, personality, or family background, he far surpassed Tang Chen.

Moreover, in the simulation, Grandfather had yet to marry.

Unlike Tang Chen, who had already married and had children.

[After you brought Tang Chen to find Bo Saixi and confessed your love to her together.]

[Faced with simultaneous confessions from you and Tang Chen, Bo Saixi remained silent for a long time before finally saying: whoever among you and Tang Chen became a god first, she would choose him.]

[Upon hearing this, ordinary people might have thought that Bo Saixi herself did not know whom she truly liked, which was why she set such a condition.]

[But you could tell that Bo Saixi was tactfully rejecting you and choosing Tang Chen.]

[Because as a member of the Qian Family, you believed in the Ancestor God Angel God. You had also accepted the Angel God Trial and triggered the Angel Eight Trials. In the future, you would inherit the position of High Priest to the Angel God and were destined to be unable to become a god.]

[You had thought Bo Saixi would definitely choose you. You had been brimming with confidence and had even brought Tang Chen along to confess.]

[But you had never expected the outcome to be this.]

[At that moment, you felt so arrogantly self-important, so laughable, like a clown.]

[Yet although you had understood Bo Saixi's hidden meaning, you did not tell Tang Chen.]

[After all, though you upheld justice and moral boundaries, after losing love, you could not proactively hand the goddess you loved over to your rival!]

[After suffering this blow, you became somewhat disheartened and decided to leave Sea God Island and return to Spirit City.]

[Tang Chen also seemed to believe that only by becoming a god could he compete with you and win Bo Saixi's approval. He decided to return to Douluo Continent, continue cultivating bitterly, and seek the path to godhood after breaking through to Limit Douluo.]

[Thus, you left Sea God Island together. You returned to Spirit City, while Tang Chen returned to Clear Sky Sect.]

[After returning to Spirit City, because you were no longer young, and at your father's urging, you no longer resisted after your setback in love. You married a Soul Douluo from Spirit Hall named Liu Wanrou, whose Martial Soul was the Sun Phoenix Bird.]

[Although the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul possessed extraordinarily high quality, and your cultivation had already reached the realm of a Level 97 Soul Douluo, making it difficult to produce offspring.]

[Liu Wanrou's Sun Phoenix Bird Martial Soul was quite compatible with the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul in both type and attribute. Furthermore, her cultivation had also reached the Soul Douluo realm.]

[Therefore, after nearly ten years of effort, you finally made Liu Wanrou pregnant. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a baby boy.]

[You named him Qian Xunji. Ji meant auspicious, and you hoped that this child's birth would make Spirit Hall's future even brighter and more fortunate.]

Qian Renxue's feelings were complicated.

She had never expected that Grandfather and Grandmother's union had not been born of love.

Rather, it had been the result of Grandfather confessing his feelings to Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island, being rejected, suffering a blow, and compromising in his despair.

Learning these secrets through the Simulator...

For a time, the tall and imposing image of her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, in Qian Renxue's heart somewhat crumbled.

Because Grandfather Qian Daoliu had failed to defeat Tang Chen and win Bo Saixi's heart.

After returning, he had chosen to compromise and married Grandmother Liu Wanrou.

This was undoubtedly unfair to Grandmother!

Grandfather was practically a scumbag!

No wonder that, from childhood until now, she had mostly heard about Grandmother from her father.

Grandfather had rarely spoken of Grandmother.

So this was the reason!

[Because Liu Wanrou did not possess talent as exceptional as yours, she only broke through to Soul Douluo in her fifties. After nearly ten more years, she gave birth to her son Qian Xunji in her sixties, which greatly depleted her vital essence.]

[After giving birth to her son, Liu Wanrou's health was never very good.]

[For this, you thought of many ways to improve her health and extend her lifespan, but unfortunately, none proved very useful.]

[Finally, when your son was twelve years old, your wife Liu Wanrou died of illness.]

[Two years later, your father Qian Dinghan also exhausted his lifespan and passed away.]

[From then on, you inherited the position of Pope of Martial Soul Hall and became the new Pope of Martial Soul Hall.]

[Simulation End.]

"I never expected Grandfather's Past to be like this..."

After the simulation ended.

Qian Renxue abruptly rose from the bedside, her heart filled with a complicated mix of emotions.

As his granddaughter, after learning that the one Grandfather truly loved was not Grandmother, but Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island...

Qian Renxue naturally stood on Grandmother's side.

But calling Grandfather a scumbag did not seem quite right either.

After all, Grandfather had met Bo Saixi before Grandmother.

And after being with Grandmother, Grandfather had not continued trying to pursue Bo Saixi.

After Grandmother's vital essence was depleted from giving birth to Father, causing her health to deteriorate.

Grandfather had also tried to find solutions, but they had not worked.

However...

After calming down and thinking carefully, Qian Renxue felt that learning about Grandfather's Past might be something she could use.

Because she knew Grandfather was a man with a strong sense of morality.

Regarding Grandmother, Grandfather surely felt somewhat guilty as well.

If, in front of Grandfather, she pointed out that the woman Grandfather truly loved was not Grandmother, but another woman...

And indignantly declared: this was a betrayal of Grandmother!

Perhaps this could make Grandfather agree to do certain things he would normally be unwilling to do!

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes lit up, and she chuckled smugly to herself.

I'm so smart!

After ending the simulation.

The next day, Qian Renxue continued traveling with Ye Luo by carriage toward Heaven Dou Imperial City.

At this point, they were already not far from Heaven Dou Imperial City.

They only needed another three or four days of travel to reach Heaven Dou Imperial City.

After entering Diao Province, when they were only half a day's journey from Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Knowing that Ye Luo cared greatly about planting Blue Silver Grass to aid his cultivation.

Qian Renxue smiled faintly and asked directly.

"Xiao Luo, we're about to reach Heaven Dou Imperial City. Do you plan to come with me to Heaven Dou Imperial City and live in my Crown Prince's Mansion, or go to my Fief?"

"I've noticed that you seem to enjoy planting Blue Silver Grass to assist your cultivation. This should be very important to you."

"But my Crown Prince's Mansion has limited space, so I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to plant large quantities of Blue Silver Grass."

"But at my Fief, that would be much simpler."

"And if you wish, I can entrust my Fief to your management and let you use the manpower there to help plant Blue Silver Grass."

"So I wanted to ask you."
