At this moment, as Bibi Dong saw Wu Xing voice Xue'er's inner thoughts, her heart was struck with profound intensity.

So, she had only ever wanted her mother's affection; so, she had always cared so deeply about her mother's opinion.

Although she did not know what had happened six years into the future, the few words from the Group Master made it clear that it was her own mistakes that had caused everything to fall apart at the final hurdle.

Xue'er...

Bibi Dong whispered softly, her body trembling slightly. Her once icy heart felt as if a stone had been cast into it, sending ripples spreading outward.

In the Chat Group, the atmosphere had become somewhat oppressive due to Wu Xing's revelation. No one dared to joke or tease anymore, as everyone could sense the complex and unspeakable emotions within the group.

[Wu Xing: The specific situation is too much to explain in a short time, as it involves far too many things. I've put together a video; watch it if you want to know.]

[Ding: Group Master Wu Xing has uploaded a video.]

Having experienced the events at the mountain cave this afternoon, Wu Xing knew that no amount of explanation could compare to witnessing the truth for oneself.

Well, it was definitely not because he was being lazy.

Thus, he used his golden finger to directly copy a detailed documentary about Bibi Dong from Blue Star.

As the video uploaded, the numerous group members immediately clicked to watch it under the annotations provided by the Chat Group.

Heaven Dou City.

Crown Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue sat by the window, gazing toward the direction of Martial Soul City, yet she hesitated to click play.

It was not that she did not want to know the truth, nor that she feared the insurmountable obstacle, but she was worried and afraid of encountering something she could not accept.

Yet, after twenty years of obsession, the answer was finally within reach, and the longing in her heart ultimately overcame her trepidation.

After a moment of hesitation, she took a deep breath and finally clicked on the video that held all of her mother's secrets.

Meanwhile, in the Pope's Bedchamber in Martial Soul City, Bibi Dong never once looked at the video link in the group.

Those dark and humiliating pasts were a purgatory she had walked through herself; every single detail was carved into her bones and blood, and there was no need to relive them.

She knew the Group Master's vast supernatural powers allowed him to peer into the past and future. This video surely contained the pain she least wanted to touch, so she simply closed her eyes and leaned against the vanity, waiting for Xue'er's reaction after she finished watching.

The beginning of the video showed Bibi Dong born in a small, ordinary village under the jurisdiction of Martial Soul Hall, her parents having passed away early, leaving her to grow up in loneliness and hardship.

Because of her exceptional talent, she was spotted by Qian Xunji during an inspection tour and brought back to Martial Soul Hall to be cultivated.

With the massive resources of Martial Soul Hall poured into her, combined with her innate talent, she quickly became the Saintess of Martial Soul Hall.

It could be said that in this early stage, she lived very happily—better than any other orphan—enjoying a carefree childhood.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue felt happy for her mother, until she grew older and a certain figure began to appear frequently in the video, making her feel that something was amiss.

A man with ulterior motives approaching her mother, who was the Saintess of Martial Soul Hall at the time—how could such an obvious thing go unnoticed?

Was it because Martial Soul Hall had protected her too well?

Sure enough, the subsequent events unfolded in a direction she did not want to contemplate: her mother had actually fallen in love with that man!

If her mother loved that man, then what about her father?

Qian Renxue's thoughts raced; she thought of her grandfather's refusal to speak, the elders keeping their lips sealed, and the introduction of the Secret Room Douluo in the Chat Group.

A bolt of lightning struck her mind, leaving her entire being teetering on the edge of collapse.

She dared not think, nor did she want to, but the images in the video did not stop. Her father had discovered her mother's situation, forcibly severed the relationship between the two, locked her mother in a sunless dungeon, and expelled that man from Martial Soul Hall.

Faced with her father's confinement and demands for reflection, her mother remained unyielding, even threatening to elope with that man.

By this point, even every member of the group could roughly guess what was going on.

They only found it somewhat laughable, and finally understood why the Group Master had used such an abrupt term as "love-brained" earlier.

This was exactly what it was! Martial Soul Hall had exhausted its resources to cultivate her into a talent, and she was actually willing to abandon the parents who had raised her for a man with ulterior motives.

This was no longer just "love-brained"; it was no different from being an ungrateful wretch.

As for Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, they recognized the man the moment Yu Xiaogang appeared.

They just hadn't expected that the dignified Pope of Martial Soul Hall had once been entangled with the Grandmaster.

They were even more shocked that Yu Xiaogang's schemes were so deep; he looked upright and serious on the surface, yet he was so hypocritical behind the scenes.

They were not stupid; seeing Yu Xiaogang frequently appearing in the Martial Soul Hall Library to "coincidentally" meet Bibi Dong in the video, they knew he had ulterior motives.

A Saintess of Martial Soul Hall and a level 29 "Grandmaster" who was about to turn fifty—how could there be such coincidences!

Ning Rongrong, in particular, had an even stranger expression. She hadn't thought much of it before, but now that she recognized him as a social climber, she felt like vomiting at the mere thought of that zombie face. How could Bibi Dong have fallen for such a person?

If it were her, she would absolutely never fancy a man like that!

It would have to be a man as mighty and domineering as the Group Master, or a man as dashing and handsome as the readers.

She took one more look at Yu Xiaogang in the video.

Ugh!

I want to vomit!

Ugh!

Still feeling nauseous.

Ning Rongrong hurriedly fast-forwarded the video, but then suddenly thought of something.

Wait, could that zombie-faced man have used the same method to win the heart of Vice Dean Erlong?

It is highly likely. After all, Vice Dean Erlong's strength is exceptional, and there are few women across the entire continent who can compare to her. If there wasn't something fishy going on, how could she possibly fall for a man like that?

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who also calls herself a little witch, she is no naive fool; on the contrary, she is more far-sighted than many of her peers.

For two people with completely mismatched talents and statuses, meeting would at most make them passing strangers. For them to develop a connection and be mutually attracted is fundamentally impossible.

But since it happened with both women, it can only mean that the man definitely had ulterior motives, deliberately manufacturing encounters and showing off his knowledge to scheme for something.

After all, under normal circumstances, if you were a proud daughter of heaven, would you spare a second glance for some loser you met on the road?

If you stop, linger, or even watch, what else could it be but the other party deliberately showing off to grab your attention?

Could it be that you are watching him fight a soul beast that you could kill with a flick of your wrist, just to learn his experience and techniques?

Don't be ridiculous, okay? Do you think this is some channel featuring stories like "The CEO Falls in Love with the Security Guard," "The CEO Falls in Love with the Depressed Unemployed Me," or "The CEO Falls in Love with the Forty-Year-Old Who Has Accomplished Nothing"?

The video continued to play, confirming the Chat Group's annotations regarding the Secret Room Douluo.

Upon seeing his disciple obsessed and refusing to repent, he finally resorted to that extreme method to sever the past.

Then came the aftermath: Bibi Dong's accidental pregnancy, Qian Xunji threatening her, and finally, the birth of Qian Renxue.

Seeing this, they finally understood why Bibi Dong ignored Qian Renxue, and why the relationship between mother and daughter was so poor; it all finally made sense.

At this moment, Qian Renxue had collapsed powerlessly into her chair, tears streaming down silently.

So, the reason her mother loathed her and treated her with such coldness was because she was conceived through her father's coercion.

So, her mother had wanted to take her own life, but was forced to bring her into this world because her father used that man as a threat.

No wonder her grandfather never spoke of it, and the elders kept their lips sealed. How could such a scandal ever be spoken aloud?

The spokesperson for the Angel God, the embodiment of light and justice.

Heh, simply laughable!

Yet, after a cold sneer, a flash of ferocity crossed Qian Renxue's face.

Yu Xiaogang!

You must die!!!

Although her father was a beast and her mother's actions were equally despicable, Yu Xiaogang's ulterior motives were the true root cause that triggered this entire tragedy!
