Impossible! Absolutely Impossible!!!

"Because for one, it is incredibly stupid, and for two, it would place you, the only young master, in grave danger."

"Any normal person would never do such a thing."

"Even if you—fine, even if that Pope truly has no feelings for you!"

"But your grandfather, Qian Daoliu, is one of the three current Limit Douluo in the world. He has no reason not to understand this!"

"Yet you, of all people, were truly sent out!"

"I am starting to suspect that your undercover mission to the Heaven Dou Empire to impersonate the crown prince actually has a true purpose: simply to separate you from that Pope!"

The clear and logical words of Ye Lengling left even Gu Changge startled.

Good grief!

If Gu Changge weren't certain that he had never told the story of the original Douluo Continent, he would have thought that Lengling was holding the novel and spoiling the plot.

As for Qian Renxue, her figure suddenly swayed at this moment, as if she might collapse at any second.

She wanted to refute.

She wanted to say that her grandfather loved her dearly.

She wanted to say that this was something she had requested herself.

But the words, when they reached her lips, felt so pale and powerless.

That's right.

Her grandfather loved her dearly.

If he loved her, why would he have agreed to this absurd plan she proposed in the first place?

Was it really because he trusted her abilities?

Or was it that—even her grandfather felt that if she left Martial Soul Hall, left the sight of that woman, she might live a better life?

"Stop imagining things in your head!"

Gu Changge's voice rang out once more: "Your grandfather, your father, your mother, and you—if you ask me, you all have something wrong with your brains!"

"Don't you always want to know why Bibi Dong is your mother, yet has no love for you at all, and instead treats you with such hostility?"

At the first sentence, even with her mental state in disarray, Qian Renxue felt a flare of anger.

But the second sentence made her body tremble violently.

"You know?"

She spoke almost instinctively.

The fact that Bibi Dong had no love for her, only hatred, had been an obsession of hers since she was old enough to understand.

She could not fathom why her own mother would harbor such emotions toward her.

"I know!"

Gu Changge nodded candidly: "Because standing from the perspective of your Martial Soul Hall—no, I should say, from the perspective of any normal person—your mother, Bibi Dong, is an ungrateful wretch!"

"As for why she only has hatred and no love for you, it is because your birth, to her, was not the birth of a child, but the birth of hatred and humiliation!"

"Don't look at me with those eyes, because this is the answer you wanted!"

Seeing Qian Renxue suddenly glare at him with angry little eyes upon hearing this, Gu Changge didn't hesitate to snap back.

He then continued: "You surely know the general situation of Bibi Dong! Born a commoner, she was discovered by Martial Soul Hall after awakening her Twin Martial Souls and possessing top-tier talent as a spirit master, eventually becoming the disciple of your father, Qian Xunji, and the saintess of Martial Soul Hall, right?"

Qian Renxue was very dissatisfied with Gu Changge's attitude.

But to this question, she could only nod silently.

Gu Changge continued: "From a commoner to reaching the pinnacle in one step, becoming the disciple of the Pope and the saintess of Martial Soul Hall, and receiving the most elite cultivation resources in the entire Douluo Continent. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this kindness is as deep as the sea and equivalent to a rebirth, would it?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue once again tightened her little face, nodding with those tear-streaked, sorrowful eyes just as before.

At this point, Gu Changge suddenly shifted the tone of his words: "Then, do you acknowledge that your Martial Soul Hall and the two great empires, as well as the Upper Three Sects, are hostile factions?"

Qian Renxue desperately wanted to say she didn't acknowledge it.

But she couldn't bring herself to say those words.

Because anyone with a brain and eyes that weren't blind could see it.

Their Martial Soul Hall and the two great empires, along with the Upper Three Sects, all belonged to hostile factions.

So at this moment, facing this question from Gu Changge, she gritted her teeth and said, "I admit it!"

"Admitting it is good!"

Gu Changge smiled and said, "Since you admit it, I have a question. If right now, the saintess of your Martial Soul Hall—that is, Bibi Dong's disciple, the Hu Liena whom you have envied and hated since childhood—suddenly fell in love with a disciple from the Upper Three Sects, and for the sake of that person, she wanted to give up everything she has now, abandon your Martial Soul Hall, and pursue true love with them, what would you do?"

"She wouldn't dare!!!"

Qian Renxue gave the answer almost instinctively: "Martial Soul Hall raised her from a young age, provided her with food, clothing, status, and taught her skills. If she dared to do such a thing, she would be courting death! From the top of Martial Soul Hall to the bottom, not a single person would allow such a thing to happen."

Qian Renxue said these words crisply, cleanly, and with absolute certainty.

Dugu Bo and the others listened and nodded to themselves.

Because there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Let alone Martial Soul Hall.

Even if you replaced it with any other faction.

If anyone dared to be such a traitor.

They would be courting death.

"But your mother did exactly that!"

Suddenly, Gu Changge's voice rang out.

Then, everyone present fell into a deathly silence.

And then—

"No, that's impossible!"

"You're just spouting nonsense, aren't you!"

Qian Renxue completely broke down.

"That woman may be hateful, she may be evil, but she is not an idiot!"

"For this kind of thing, as long as one has a brain and eyes that aren't blind, it is impossible for anyone to do such a thing!"

"You must be lying; how could such a thing happen to her!"

Regarding the way Bibi Dong treated her, Qian Renxue had an obsession and hatred.

But regarding Bibi Dong's methods and capabilities.

She had never doubted them.

After all, she was the only Pope in the history of Martial Soul Hall with a different surname.

Even if the other party held the identity of her mother, the successor of the papal lineage of Martial Soul Hall.

It was still extremely difficult for someone with a different surname to secure the position of Pope.

Yet Bibi Dong not only secured it, but after doing so, she led their Martial Soul Hall to a level even more powerful than when her father, Qian Xunji, was in power.

So if you said Bibi Dong was evil or hateful, Qian Renxue could accept all of it.

But if you said she was like an idiot who would make such a low-level mistake.

That was something Qian Renxue truly could not accept.

Moreover, at this moment, not only could Qian Renxue not accept it.

Dugu Bo and the others were also nearly stunned silly by the news Gu Changge had just dropped.

Even Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng each grabbed one of Gu Changge's arms.

Their faces were filled with expressions of disbelief.

Gu Changge shook his head helplessly at this.

"Although it sounds outrageous, explosive, and impossible to believe."

"Yet, this is the truth!"

"And what's even more explosive is that the person she fell in love with wasn't even some genius from the Upper Three Sects!"

"Instead, it was a clown-like fellow who aimed to swindle and bluff his way through life, and was famous across the entire continent for it!"
