Face Her, Starting with Returning to Spirit Hall

Now that we've talked about it, there's nothing to hide.

Lin Qingmo looked at Qian Renxue who was sitting slumped against the wall.

Those golden eyes no longer had the sharpness and anger they had just now, leaving only a shattered look of confusion.

He knew that the next words would be even crueler than the previous one.

But once the truth begins to be revealed, there is no reason to stop halfway.

"You asked me why Bibi Dong hates you."

Lin Qingmo sat down again. "Now I can answer this question completely."

Qian Renxue's pupils turned slightly and focused on his face.

"Bibi Dong was Martial Soul Hall Saintess when he was young."

"She was as dazzling then as you are now."

"Twin Martial Souls, with outstanding talent and outstanding appearance, is the pearl of the Spirit Hall."

Lin Qingmo's tone was calm, but every word made Qian Renxue's heart sink a little.

"She fell in love with someone at that time, that is Yu Xiaogang."

"Bibi Dong wanted to be with Yu Xiaogang, which was absolutely not allowed at the time.

"Spirit Hall's Saintess is not only unable to get married, but more importantly..."

Lin Qingmo paused. "Your father Qian Xunji, the previous Pope, he would never allow it."

Hearing his father's name, Qian Renxue's body tensed up instinctively.

"Qian Xunji does not allow Saintess to marry the owner of a waste Martial Soul, but the method he uses is not persuasion or order."

"He used medicine to stun Bibi Dong, locked her in Secret Chamber, and forcibly defiled her."

The air in Secret Chamber completely solidified at this moment.

Qian Renxue's lips opened, but no sound came out.

"That's why you were born."

Lin Qingmo's voice is very light, as light as a weightless knife.

"It's not the result of love, it's not your mother's willing choice."

"You are a product of that atrocity."

"Qian Xunji used violence to leave you in Bibi Dong, which also planted the seeds of her irresolvable hatred for you."

Qian Renxue's body began to tremble violently.

She wanted to say no, she wanted to say it was impossible, but she felt that this was the truth.

She finally understood the emotion in Bibi Dong's eyes when he looked at her.

It's not disgust, it's not disgust.

It's a person's instinct to shrink back when he sees his most painful scars.

Every time she sees her face, she is probably not seeing her daughter.

But that room Secret Chamber, that man, everything she had destroyed.

"Later, Tang Hao and Qian Xunji fought in a battle, and Qian Xunji was seriously injured."

Lin Qingmo didn't stop because of her breakdown.

"Bibi Dong took this opportunity to kill him and avenge herself in her own way.

"Your grandfather Qian Daoliu later investigated and learned all the causes and consequences. He knew what Qian Xunji did to Bibi Dong, and he also knew Bibi Dong's motive for killing Qian Xunji."

"He chose silence."

"It was announced to the outside world that Qian Xunji was killed by Tang Hao, and all the charges were placed on Tang Hao."

"He did not hold Bibi Dong accountable, but instead allowed her to inherit the position of Pope."

He paused, giving Qian Renxue a chance to digest.

"Of course, it's also because of you."

"Because although Qian Xunji is a beast, you are innocent."

"Qian Daoliu saved Bibi Dong's life out of guilt for his son's crimes and to protect you, allowing her to continue to be your mother and Pope to the Spirit Hall."

"That's the whole truth."

The only sound left in Secret Chamber was the heavy breathing of Qian Renxue.

She no longer spoke or trembled.

Just leaning against the cold stone wall.

The eyes were open, but the pupils were out of focus like broken mirrors.

Lin Qingmo waited for a moment.

After confirming that she had fallen into some kind of muddleheaded state where she was unable to communicate, she said no more.

"I hope you're still fine."

This sentence was said very softly, like talking to himself, or like a sigh.

Suddenly two sharp Soul Power waves suddenly struck from the darkness.

Lin Qingmo face does not change color.

He had long sensed that the two men outside the door had been listening.

It's just that due to Qian Renxue's previous order, I didn't dare to trespass.

"Young Master!"

Porcupinefish Douluo rushed into Secret Chamber first, and his burly figure brought a strong wind.

Snake Lance Douluo follows closely behind.

The two of them immediately saw Qian Renxue sitting slumped against the wall.

At the same time, he locked his murderous gaze on Lin Qingmo.

"What did you do to Young Master?!"

Porcupinefish Douluo's five fingers turned into claws, and Titled Douluo-level pressure rushed toward Lin Qingmo like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

Snake Lance Douluo is even more direct. A completely green Snake Lance is already in his hand, and the tip of the spear is pointed directly at Lin Qingmo's throat.

"Young Master If something goes wrong, you won't be able to get out of this Crown Prince Mansion today."

Lin Qingmo did not retreat or explain.

He just turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Qian Renxue.

"Stop."

An extremely hoarse voice came from the depths of Secret Chamber.

Pufferfish and Snake Lance froze at the same time.

Looking back, Qian Renxue had stood up at some point.

She was holding on to the wall, her legs still shaking slightly.

But there were no tears or confusion in those golden eyes.

What replaced it was a coldness that made both Titled Douluo feel chilly.

"Young Master... Are you okay?"

Snake Lance Douluo asked tentatively, but the spear in his hand did not put away immediately.

"I'm fine."

Qian Renxue's voice is hoarse and cold.

She raised her hand and wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

The movements were slow and forceful, as if wiping off something unnecessary.

"You go check on someone now."

She paused.

"Yu Xiaogang."

"Go and check all the information, everything from childhood to adulthood, from birth to now, everything."

"I want to see complete information within three days."

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo looked at each other, both a little confused.

They had vaguely heard of the name Yu Xiaogang, who was a trash theorist and seemed to have some connection with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Young Master Why do you suddenly want to check this person?

But they have followed Qian Renxue for many years and know that her tone at this moment cannot be doubted.

He immediately cupped his fists and accepted the order, and his figure disappeared into Secret Chamber in a flash.

Secret Chamber became quiet again.

Qian Renxue slowly turned around, that beautiful face now covered with a pale smile.

She looked at Lin Qingmo with a feeling of desolation that had been drained of all emotions.

"Lin Qingmo, you said--"

Her voice was as dry as sandpaper. "Has my life been a joke from the beginning?"

From the perspective of a fellow woman, she sympathized with Bibi Dong's experience.

That woman's life was completely ruined by a beast, and she became the ironclad evidence of that crime and a living brand of shame.

Every time he appears in front of Bibi Dong.

They all reminded her of the past that she least wanted to recall.

She once hated Bibi Dong for not giving her maternal love.

Now she understands that it's not about not giving, it's about how much strength the woman needs to not collapse when she sees her.

The hatred towards Bibi Dong turned into a blank void at this moment.

"A scoundrel born of rape sat in the Spirit Hall Young Master's seat with dignity, and kept saying he wanted revenge. But it turned out that the real enemy, a sinner worse than a beast, turned out to be his own biological father."

"And the mother she has hated for more than ten years is exactly the person whose life was ruined by that beast."

She smiled and shed tears again, "This is not a joke, what is it?"

Lin Qingmo looked at her.

The Qian Renxue he has seen has many faces.

Xue Qinghe in the Crown Prince Mansion is as gentle as jade.

"Golden Liquid Angel" who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted in Chat Group.

Spirit Hall Young Master who just slapped the table and told him to "tell the truth".

But standing in front of him at this moment was a naked Qian Renxue who had been stripped of all his identity by the truth.

Her arrogance, her pride, all the bricks she used to build the wall, were all reduced to powder.

"You haven't fallen to the point of being judged as a joke."

Lin Qingmo spoke in a calm tone, "At least your birth is not something you can choose."

"Qian Xunji's sins should not be borne by you."

Qian Renxue said nothing, just looked down at his hands.

"Now that you know the truth, what are your next plans?"

Qian Renxue was silent for a long time.

For a long time, only the faint buzzing sound of Soul Guidance Lamp was left in Secret Chamber.

"I don't know."

Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Now I don't even know how to face that girl... how to face my mother."

She subconsciously changed her name. She used to call her "that woman".

Now called "Mother".

Perhaps even she herself noticed this subtle change.

"Why didn't she tell me? Why did she have to carry it alone?"

Lin Qingmo walked up to her and stood three steps away from her.

He didn't get too close, the distance was just right.

It can make her feel present without making her feel oppressed.

"Instead of asking me these questions, you might as well ask her herself."

"Sit down face to face and say everything you need to say."

"It has been more than ten years, and the backlog between you and her can no longer be solved by any middleman."

Qian Renxue raised his head to look at him, moved his lips, and finally squeezed out only a few words.

"I... don't know how to face her."

"Then let's start by returning to Spirit City."
