[And she even said, "Can you spare my teacher? She's a pitiful person too..."]
[As for Spirit Hall? Sorry, no such thing!]
[Hu Liena: Swear loyalty to Spirit Hall? I was just saying it.]
[This kind of thing was not unusual to begin with, but the strange part was that Hu Liena had built up her persona too much at the start. It completely collapsed later on, making her seem incredibly awkward. She just looked like an ungrateful traitor through and through.]
Crown Prince's Residence.
Qian Renxue's gaze turned icy as she sneered. "Hmph, just as I thought! What good could that woman possibly raise? Ungrateful traitors should all be killed!"
She had already been upset that her mother's love had been taken from her. Now that Su Ye had said this, she wanted nothing more than to rush back to Spirit Hall and kill that Little Fox.
That woman's expression would surely be wonderful when that happened, wouldn't it?
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong's expression was indeed quite wonderful at the moment. Her pretty face held both speechlessness and faint relief.
There was no need to elaborate on the speechlessness. This disciple of hers was practically identical to her younger self. It was a replay of her dark history.
As for the relief, at least she had not cared for this disciple in vain. Hu Liena still remembered her teacher.
But when she thought of how Hu Liena had betrayed her and lost her hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, Bibi Dong began gritting her silver teeth again.
"You little ungrateful wretch. When you come back, your teacher will make sure to 'dote on' you properly."
"Impossible! How could I betray Spirit Hall? Slander, this is slander!"
"Tang San! That Tang San again! Damn it, I'll definitely kill you!"
Faced with Su Ye's mockery, Hu Liena naturally denied it with all her might, while instinctively mastering the art of shifting blame.
She decisively dumped the blame onto Tang San's head. That guy must have bewitched her; it definitely was not because she had thrown herself at him.
Yes, absolutely not!
I, Hu Liena, am utterly loyal to Spirit Hall. I could never commit such betrayal. It was all Tang San's fault.
"Achoo!"
Having just finished speaking with his "good teacher," Tang San was preparing to return to the Seventh Dormitory when he suddenly sneezed.
"What's going on? Am I sick?"
Tang San looked utterly baffled, though he was also somewhat suspicious.
He did not know what had been happening these past two days, but his entire body felt uncomfortable, as though he had somehow taken on an invisible burden.
"Could someone be plotting against me?"
At that thought, Tang San's gaze abruptly sharpened as he cautiously scanned his surroundings.
In the shadows, Tang Hao looked strangely at his "good son."
What was with that expression like some rabble wants to assassinate me?
Had the pressure from cultivation become too great?
[Ahem, I've gone off-topic again. Let's continue with Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji.]
[After Bibi Dong gave birth to Qian Renxue, the matter was not over. In fact, if that were all there was to it, she probably would not have become Pope later on.]
[Bibi Dong undoubtedly hated Qian Xunji and had always wanted to find an opportunity to kill him. But Qian Xunji was a Title Douluo and the Spirit Hall Pope. How could Bibi Dong of that time have had any chance?]
[But that's fine. Sometimes you don't need to look for an opportunity yourself. You can wait for one.]
Wait?
What opportunity?
The women were initially confused, but they quickly thought of the battle between Tang Hao and Qian Xunji.
"So... Tang Hao happened to avenge Bibi Dong as well?"
Pope's Palace.
For once, Bibi Dong was somewhat nervous. Her eyes remained fixed on the Diary.
She was not sure whether Little Xue had a copy of the Diary, though she most likely did.
If the truth was exposed later, how would she face her afterward?
Would Qian Renxue still acknowledge her as her mother?
Before this, Bibi Dong might not have cared, but now that the Rakshasa God's will had dissipated, reason had regained the upper hand.
She was no longer as extreme as she had been in the past, and she was filled with guilt toward Qian Renxue.
Whenever she thought of that little bundle of milk who had rushed over and called her Mama, she truly regretted everything.
She had originally planned to find a chance to repair their relationship someday. But now? Once the truth behind Qian Xunji's death was exposed, how the hell was she supposed to repair anything?
"Sigh..."
[This opportunity was none other than Tang Hao's famous battle!]
[Qian Xunji went to capture Ah Yin. After Ah Yin sacrificed herself, Tang Hao fiercely beat Qian Xunji down. But at the critical moment, he held back. He only severely wounded him and did not take his life.]
[In truth, Tang Hao knew perfectly well that the Clear Sky Sect could not afford to provoke Spirit Hall at the time. If Qian Xunji died, the Clear Sky Sect would definitely suffer a catastrophic disaster.]
[It wasn't hard to see from this that Tang Hao had always kept the sect in his heart. Ah Yin... heh.]
Su Ye did not forget to continue poisoning the well against Tang Hao, but he also understood when to stop, so he only mentioned it briefly and did not say much more.
[So, back to the fundamental question: Did Qian Xunji really die from Tang Hao's severe injuries?]
The women: ???
What did that mean?
From the sound of it, Qian Xunji did not seem to have been killed by Tang Hao?
Then it was... Oh, they got it.
The women's eyes lit up. It had been made so obvious that they would be idiots not to figure it out.
Crown Prince's Residence.
"How could it be... It was actually her..."
Qian Renxue stared blankly, unable to believe this fact.
The relationship between her father and mother was far too complicated. What the hell was all this?
She felt like she was truly going insane.
"Wait, if it really was her, did Grandfather know?"
She did not believe anything could be hidden from her invincible grandfather. But if he knew, then why...
"Was it because of me? Or..."
Qian Renxue felt her head buzzing. Her thoughts were a mess, and her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
Hu Liena was just as unsettled, her large eyes widened round.
Good heavens, Teacher was worthy of being Teacher. She was even more outrageous than me!
Not only had she become an ungrateful traitor, she had even killed Master's husband... Uh, no, that was wrong, it was Teacher's husband... Uh, that did not seem right either.
Ah, whatever, that was basically what it meant.
This was truly betraying one's teacher and destroying one's ancestors!
Compared to that, the stupid things she had done in the original timeline hardly seemed like anything at all.
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong had no idea how her disciple was slandering her internally right now. At this moment, she had completely panicked, terrified that Qian Renxue would see all of this.
You little bastard, why were you spouting nonsense for no reason?
And that damned [White Feather Does Not Cross Snow]—once I uncover your identity, I'll have you torn apart by five horses!
"Sigh, Little Xue, I already know I was wrong. Can you forgive..."
Ha.
A bitter smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Bibi Dong's lips. She could not even bring herself to finish that sentence.
Forgive her?
Did she deserve forgiveness?
[Actually, the development of the plot has already made things quite obvious.]
[Tang Hao never intended to kill Qian Xunji. Qian Xunji did not immediately die after returning to Spirit Hall either, yet he still died in the end.]
[The killer is self-evident.]
[I mentioned before that Bibi Dong received the Rakshasa God Trial, and the content of the first trial was "devour the Angel Soul"!]
Boom!
At that moment, it was as though a thunderclap had exploded in the women's minds.
