Pope's Palace.
Most of Bibi Dong's frustration at being mocked vanished as she stared at the latter half of the Diary in disbelief.
"Nana would betray me?"
She murmured to herself, and then a bitter smile appeared on her exquisite face.
What was this supposed to mean?
Had Nana truly inherited her teachings?
Back then, she had betrayed Spirit Hall's information for Yu Xiaogang. In the future, her own disciple would actually betray her for a man.
Especially when that man was Yu Xiaogang's disciple. What level of cursed fate was this?
Bibi Dong let out a long sigh, her feelings complicated.
Was she angry?
Of course she was. She had raised her personal disciple like a daughter, only for someone so close to turn around and betray her. How could she not be angry?
At that moment, she could somewhat understand how Qian Xunji had felt back then.
"Nana, sigh..."
With another long sigh, the anger in Bibi Dong's eyes completely faded.
She truly cared about Hu Liena and regarded her as her own daughter.
If she had learned that anyone else would betray her in the future, she would certainly have eliminated them immediately. But Hu Liena...
Even in the original story, Bibi Dong had not punished Hu Liena much. Now, she was even less likely to do so.
Su Ye had just exposed her own ingratitude. How could she have the nerve to punish her disciple over the same matter now?
She simply did not have the face for it.
[ Ding! ]
At that moment, a notification sound rang out, pulling Bibi Dong from her thoughts. She glanced at the friends page and discovered that it was a message from her "good disciple."
[White-Eyed Little Fox: Teacher, listen to me. What the Diary says isn't true. How could I ever betray you? In my eyes, you are my...]
Hu Liena had sent a long message. Bibi Dong patiently read every word, and when she sensed the emotions contained between the lines, the final trace of unease in her heart disappeared.
[Rakshasa Does Not Speak of Love: Nana, your teacher knows. I don't blame you. After all, what Su Ye spoke of has not happened yet, and with the Diary, the future has already changed. Could you possibly still fall for that Tang San now?]
Elsewhere.
Hu Liena, anxiously awaiting a reply, first breathed a sigh of relief. Her teacher did not blame her? That was good!
But after reading the entire message, she shook her head vigorously.
Fall for Tang San?
How could that be possible?
That guy was scum, just as disgusting as Yu Xiaogang... No, according to Su Ye, he was far worse than Yu Xiaogang. He was practically the Source of Sin.
No matter how ridiculous she was, she would never fall for something like that.
Even without her love-struck brain acting up, she suspected that Su Ye might be slandering her.
She was Hu Liena, one of the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation, a loyal minister who had once sworn to die for Spirit Hall. How could she possibly betray her own teacher for a man?
[White-Eyed Little Fox: Thank you, Teacher. Your disciple can guarantee that I will never betray you or Spirit Hall, much less fall for that Tang San. I swear it upon my Martial Soul!]
Hu Liena's gaze was firm and her expression solemn, but when she saw that ridiculous nickname of hers again, she immediately broke character and felt utterly speechless.
White-Eyed Little Fox?
She had originally wondered why the Diary had given her such a nickname.
Now she knew. It was mocking her for being ungrateful.
Damn Diary. I am not some ungrateful wretch.
Heaven Dou City.
Seven Treasures Hotel.
Inside a luxurious VIP room, Ning Rongrong saw the words "sword shattered, bones crushed" again. Her eyes instantly reddened, and she felt as though she could not breathe.
She did not dare imagine that scene, nor did she want to believe that her two grandfathers would truly meet such an end.
But Su Ye's words could not possibly be wrong.
So...
"So, the two grandfathers really will die, and I..."
Seeing Su Ye's description, Ning Rongrong's tears instantly fell. She wanted nothing more than to slap herself twice.
She had not shed a single tear?
And she had even gone to mourn at Tang San's grave?
Pah!
Was he worthy? He... right, Tang San. It had to be Tang San's doing.
That bastard must have influenced her. She, Ning Rongrong, was no lovesick fool, much less an ungrateful wretch.
Ning Rongrong seemed to have found the heart of the problem. Whether it was actually true did not matter; as long as there was a problem, throwing it at Tang San was the right move.
"Tang San, you dared use tricks on this young lady? You have entered the Way of Seeking Death!"
Crown Prince's Residence.
Qian Renxue was extremely confident that she had to be among the three beauties of Spirit Hall Su Ye had mentioned, yet she still found it hard to believe.
What the hell? I was ridiculous?
And I turned stupid whenever I ran into Tang San?
How was that possible? I am a career-driven woman. How could I possibly be the same kind of person as that ungrateful, love-struck Bibi Dong?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
"Bastard, I told you to write about Bibi Dong. Why are you rambling about all this nonsense?"
"Could you focus on something important? Do you even know what the key issue is?"
The women who had been named all reacted strongly. Only Xiao Wu fell silent.
Her slow mind was still wondering: Right... when did I forget Mother?
Holy crap, is Tang San poisonous or something?
Yes, that's right. He must be poisonous. Tang San must have affected me, otherwise how could I forget the vengeance for my mother's death?
Xiao Wu silently thought to herself and chose the same approach as Ning Rongrong, pointing the spearhead directly at Tang San.
There was no helping it. Whether it was truly him or not did not matter; this blame had to be thrown out.
Tang San: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was all my fault. Everything was my fault.
[ Ahem, I got off track again. Now, let's return to the story of Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji. ]
[When Qian Xunji saw that Bibi Dong wanted to leave Spirit Hall for the sake of a piece of trash, he flew into a rage.]
[Training a genius was not easy, and a genius like Bibi Dong was even rarer. Naturally, he could not let Bibi Dong get her wish. He had to keep her in Spirit Hall.]
[Not only did he need to keep her person, but her heart as well. Otherwise, it would not do for her to keep thinking about eloping with Yu Xiaogang all day. But how exactly could he sever her hopes?]
Su Ye threw out another question, and the women all fell into deep thought upon seeing it.
Judging from the outcome, Qian Xunji had undoubtedly succeeded. Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang had been separated, and she had even become the Spirit Hall Pope.
But how exactly had he done it?
After all, Bibi Dong had always kept Yu Xiaogang in her heart, yet she had never gone looking for him again. She had served as Pope just fine. That was rather strange.
The women brainstormed while eagerly awaiting the answer, thinking: This Qian Xunji really has something. I wonder whether this method can be learned and used within our own factions.
While admiring her father, Qian Renxue also felt somewhat resentful.
He should have passed on such a powerful move to her sooner.
If she knew it too, perhaps she would have already gotten Su Ye.
At the same time.
Bibi Dong painfully closed her eyes. The thing she feared most had finally come.
[Qian Xunji quickly came up with a method and began putting it into action: he would personally enter the game and seize the initiative!]
[To hell with whatever comes next. I'll take the position first.]
[And thus, the Secret Room Douluo was born!]
