Crown Prince's Residence.
"This..."
Reading Su Ye's account, Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
She had never imagined that her father and Bibi Dong had gotten together like that.
Perhaps she had vaguely suspected it before, but she had not dared to think about it.
But now that the truth lay before her, she had no choice but to accept it, no matter how unwilling she was.
"No wonder, no wonder she sometimes looked at me as though I were her enemy..."
At that moment, Qian Renxue finally understood. She understood everything.
But she found this answer hard to accept.
Her father had actually been that kind of person...
And Bibi Dong, that mother of hers, was not exactly... sigh.
Qian Renxue stared blankly and murmured, "Perhaps I shouldn't have existed. Coming into this world was a mistake in itself."
Meanwhile.
Hu Liena was also deeply shocked by the information Su Ye had revealed. She had truly never expected her teacher to have suffered something like that.
"Teacher must have been so desperate back then."
Putting herself in Bibi Dong's place, Hu Liena shuddered. If it had been her, she did not know whether she would have had the courage to keep living.
At that moment, she wanted badly to offer her teacher some comfort, but after opening the chat interface, she stopped again.
"Forget it. Bringing that up now would just tear open Teacher's wounds. I should let her have some peace."
The other women silently following the drama also felt sympathy for Bibi Dong once more.
Although Bibi Dong had done plenty of wrong, that kind of thing was still far too much for any woman to endure.
However, that sympathy did not last long before they saw Su Ye continue writing.
[Objectively speaking, although what Qian Xunji did was immoral, it really was not much on Douluo Continent.]
Su Ye was not trying to whitewash Qian Xunji. It was simply that on Douluo Continent, where strength reigned supreme and its rules and order were completely different from Blue Star's, Qian Xunji had already been relatively restrained.
[Believe it or not, if she had been in the Upper Three Sects or the Two Great Empires, with the stupid things Bibi Dong did, her Martial Soul would probably have been crippled long ago, and she would have become a baby-making machine.]
[At least Qian Xunji did not force himself on Bibi Dong again after she gave birth to Qian Renxue. Among the bad options, that was barely passable.]
[After all, if Qian Xunji had been even more ruthless, Qian Renxue probably would not have been so lonely. She would have had brothers and sisters everywhere.]
Boom!
Su Ye's viewpoint was practically earth-shattering, instantly giving the women a new perspective on the matter.
Especially Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others. They knew Su Ye was speaking the truth. If Bibi Dong had been born into their families, her fate would definitely not have been good.
She wanted to become the head of a faction?
Heh, how could that be possible?
[Back then, Bibi Dong probably could not understand this at all. But thinking about it now, she should at least be able to understand part of Qian Xunji's state of mind.]
[Put yourself in her shoes. If Hu Liena brought Tang San back to Spirit Hall one day and insisted on being with him, threatening to leave Spirit Hall if Bibi Dong refused, how would Bibi Dong feel?]
[Eh, no, I got that wrong. Bibi Dong really would not understand, because after the Secret Chamber Incident, she inherited the Rakshasa God's legacy, and her dark side was infinitely magnified.]
[What she was thinking now was to destroy Spirit Hall and destroy Douluo Continent. If Hu Liena truly betrayed Spirit Hall's interests, Bibi Dong would only laugh to herself. She would not get furious at all.]
???
The women: What did you say? Bibi Dong wanted to destroy Spirit Hall? And the entire continent too? What... was going on?
Had Bibi Dong and Tang San ended up at the same table?
Crown Prince's Residence.
Qian Renxue no longer had time to wallow in despair. She sprang to her feet, shocked and furious, wishing she could immediately return to Spirit Hall and drag Bibi Dong down from the Pope's throne.
Destroy Spirit Hall?
How could that possibly be allowed?
At the same time, Hu Liena and Lingyuan Douluo, who had been silently watching the drama, had similar thoughts.
They were both orphans. Spirit Hall had given them everything, and in their hearts, Spirit Hall was home.
Now someone wanted to tear apart their home... no, even that was not accurate. Bibi Dong wanted to drag everyone down with her.
No, this could not be allowed. She had to be stopped.
But then another problem arose: how could they stop her?
One was a Soul Ancestor, while the other was an ordinary Titled Douluo. Before Bibi Dong, they were nothing but food on a platter.
Sigh, this was difficult!
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong still had no idea that her beloved disciple and the trusted general she had personally promoted were considering how to turn against her.
Ever since the Secret Chamber Incident had been exposed, she had slumped on the throne with vacant eyes, lost in thoughts no one could guess.
Only when she reached the latter half of the diary did she regain some spirit, though it was from anger.
She refused to accept it. Why should that beast Qian Xunji receive any understanding? She, Bibi Dong, was clearly the victim.
But after venting and calming down, she had to admit that Su Ye, that bastard, had made some sense.
If she had not been in Spirit Hall back then, but instead in the Two Great Empires or the Upper Three Sects, then her fate...
Bibi Dong gave an almost imperceptible shake of her head. She did not know exactly what would have happened, but it certainly would not have been good. At the very least, it would not have been better than now.
As for Su Ye's later point about putting herself in someone else's shoes, honestly, she did understand part of it.
Without the Rakshasa God's will corroding her, looking back now, even she found her past absurd.
She had been protected too well back then. She had been too naive.
To be fair, with her current knowledge and experience, if she returned to her youth, would she still blindly fall in love with Yu Xiaogang?
"Heh, I'd probably throw that worthless trash out of Spirit Hall the first time I saw him, wouldn't I?"
Bibi Dong laughed at herself, then her expression turned serious again. "Destroy Spirit Hall? Destroy the continent? Is that really what I want?"
Su Ye knew nothing of the women's emotional turmoil and continued to complain.
[Of course, that's not all.]
[In the original story, Hu Liena lost Bibi Dong's Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring because of Tang San. That was Bibi Dong's own interest at stake, yet Bibi Dong still barely punished Hu Liena.]
[I have to say, Bibi Dong was genuinely good to this disciple.]
[And Hu Liena was genuinely disappointing. Of all things to learn, she learned her teacher's habit of betraying those who had nurtured her.]
Hu Liena: ...
Bibi Dong: ...
[Because of Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong disliked Qian Renxue, her biological daughter, and poured all her love into Hu Liena.]
[The original story said more than once that Bibi Dong raised Hu Liena as her daughter. She also sighed more than once, "Nana, if only you were my daughter."]
[Honestly, I don't really understand it. What was that supposed to be? Mutual sympathy between ungrateful traitors?]
[What's even more ridiculous is that Hu Liena's initial character setting kept talking about how wonderful Spirit Hall was and how she would repay Spirit Hall, and so on. But what happened in the end?]
[In the end, love-struck stupidity took over, and she forgot everything completely.]
[When the plot reached its later stages, this girl actually, when facing Tang San...]
