"What?"
Qian Renxue was startled upon hearing this: "How is that possible?"
"There is nothing impossible about it!"
Gu Changge shook his head nonchalantly.
If she had known, she wouldn't be acting like such a fool.
Even now, she still loves that ridiculous master, Yu Xiaogang, so deeply.
"Of course, your grandfather Qian Daoliu should be aware of this matter!"
"Otherwise, he would have neither the reason nor the standing to tolerate your mother after she killed your father!"
"After all, if he knew nothing, from his perspective, your mother would be an ungrateful wretch, plain and simple."
"Martial Soul Hall provided her with food and clothing, raising her to adulthood. Yet, she wanted to run off with that useless Yu Xiaogang from a hostile faction."
"Although the methods your father used to keep her were a bit extreme."
"From the standpoint of Martial Soul Hall, there was nothing wrong with that!"
"After all, he did it for the sake of Martial Soul Hall's interests!"
"Yet your mother killed your father."
"If he didn't know the truth!"
"Whether as a father or as the Grand Elder of Martial Soul Hall, he would have no reason to tolerate your mother, especially to the point of letting her serve as the current Pope."
"Therefore, your grandfather must know about this."
Gu Changge casually delivered another round of analysis, turning up the pressure.
He then continued: "But even if he knows, he certainly wouldn't tell you these things!"
"Even if he were to die, he wouldn't say it!"
"After all, even he himself might not be able to accept such a thing."
"So how could he possibly tell you?"
"And if he doesn't tell you the truth."
"Then even if you become a god, the only truth you will be able to uncover is that your mother is an ungrateful wretch who murdered your father."
"By then, even if she ultimately gives her life to save you, could you truly find peace in your heart?"
Qian Renxue stopped speaking.
She fell into silence.
Find peace?
She certainly couldn't!
After all, her relationship with Bibi Dong was already complicated enough.
Although she desperately longed for Bibi Dong's recognition and maternal love.
If she were to learn that Bibi Dong was an ungrateful wretch and the enemy who killed her own father.
Then, even in death, she probably wouldn't be able to let it go.
"So, tell me yourself, is my intelligence worth the price you're paying?"
Gu Changge's voice rang out, lazy and casual.
Qian Renxue bit her red lips.
She wanted to say it wasn't worth it.
But she couldn't bring herself to say such a dishonest thing.
And so, she could only bow her head in resignation.
"It is!"
"Tell me what reward you want. As long as I can provide it, I guarantee I won't say a word against it."
Gu Changge smiled as he looked at her: "Since you've put it that way, I won't beat around the bush. I don't want much; you can just come and work for me!"
Qian Renxue froze upon hearing this.
"I... work for you?"
She looked at Gu Changge in disbelief.
She wanted to point at his nose and say:
What is my status, and what is yours?
You want me to work for you?
Are you even worthy?
"Don't give me that look of disbelief and reluctance!"
Gu Changge seemed to be able to read her inner thoughts. "First, I am telling you these things to change your destiny. I won't go so far as to call it a rebirth, but it is certainly a debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain!"
"Second, if it weren't for the fact that you are so pitiful, with a life like a tea table cluttered with tragedies, do you really think I would be here talking to you so reasonably?"
"Do you think I would be sitting here negotiating with you?"
"I would have just beaten you up and taken you down immediately, just like I did with Gui Mei and Yue Guan!"
Qian Renxue quickly composed the expression on her face.
During her many years of undercover work in Heaven Dou, she hadn't learned much else, but she had long since perfected the art of reading people and tailoring her reactions accordingly.
At this moment, in front of Gu Changge, she truly had no leverage.
If the other party wanted to deal with her, he could genuinely beat her up and take her down right then and there.
After readjusting her mindset, Qian Renxue cast a cautious glance at Gu Changge.
"Did you really take down Chrysanthemum and Ghost?"
Gu Changge looked at her with a half-smile.
He knew she didn't believe that his side had the ability to capture those two.
"Forget it. With your stubborn nature and subpar brain, no matter how much I say, you'll find it hard to believe."
"Just take a look for yourself!"
Gu Changge couldn't be bothered to continue the back-and-forth; he raised his hand, and a Void Gate opened.
Without needing Gu Changge to speak, Dugu Bo stood up with a chuckle and walked inside.
Seeing Gu Changge open a Void Gate to an unknown destination with a mere wave of his hand, shock and curiosity instantly flooded Qian Renxue's eyes.
But her shock and curiosity didn't last long.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei, both bruised and swollen, followed behind Dugu Bo like obedient little wives as they stepped out from the Void Gate.
"Young Master?"
Upon seeing Qian Renxue, the two were stunned for a moment before instinctively speaking up: "Why are you here? No, you need to leave quickly! This Old Poison has broken through to the realm of a Limit Douluo—"
They warned Qian Renxue almost out of instinct, desperate for her to flee.
But it would have been better if they hadn't said anything at all.
As soon as the words left their mouths, Qian Renxue was completely stunned.
Limit Douluo?
Wasn't that the level of ninety-nine, the same as her grandfather?
How could this be possible?
Others might not know Dugu Bo's situation, but Qian Renxue was very clear about it.
He was the quintessential gatekeeper and floor-tile of the Title Douluo realm.
He was the type of person who might not even dare to improve his own strength.
How had he suddenly become a ninety-nine-level Limit Douluo, just like her grandfather?
"You two, very good!"
Before Qian Renxue could even wrap her head around what was happening, Dugu Bo had already rolled up his sleeves.
Grabbing Yue Guan and Gui Mei by the collar, one in each hand, he headed back toward the Void Gate.
"Holy shit!!!"
"Old Poison, what are you trying to do?"
"Don't come over here!!!"
The terrified screams of Gui Mei and Yue Guan echoed out.
But once the three of them crossed through the Void Gate, their figures vanished from sight.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue immediately snapped back to reality.
"Gu Changge—"
She hurriedly opened her mouth, wanting to plead for Gui Mei and Yue Guan.
After all, they had only spoken up instinctively just now to warn her.
However, seeing this, Gu Changge merely waved his hand with a smile: "Rest assured, the Old Man has been old acquaintances with those two for a lifetime. At most, he'll give them a beating; nothing serious will happen!"
"Instead of worrying about them, I think you should be more concerned about my previous proposal!"
Gu Changge looked at Little Angel, his face full of smiles as he said: "Come work for me, it won't be a loss. I'll only say one thing: as long as you follow me, your grandfather's Dead End can be changed!"
