Bibi Dong continued to act like a gossip, but in truth, she had memorized everything Song Ye said.
She would see later whether she could take precautions and reduce the number of unforeseen incidents.
Song Ye, meanwhile, continued his explanation:
"The person Qian Renxue let her emotions sway her over was naturally Tang San."
"I said before that Tang San possesses tremendous Fortune. If I were not here, he would likely become the one who gained the most on Douluo Continent in the future!"
"Tang San again?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression completely darkened.
"Spirit Hall was destroyed because of Tang San, and Qian Renxue's plan also failed because of Tang San?"
"Could this boy truly be unbeatable?"
Song Ye sighed and said with feeling, "It is not that he cannot be defeated, but rather that many factors accumulated together."
"Tang San himself has extraordinary talent and possesses the top-tier aptitude of Twin Martial Souls."
"Besides, Qian Renxue herself is foolish!"
"Tang San first began to distinguish himself around five or six years from now, when he participated in that Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament."
"Because of his outstanding talent, he would catch Qian Renxue's attention, leading her to recruit him."
"Afterward, Tang San would continue rising, becoming increasingly exceptional and powerful."
"Though Qian Renxue was also outstanding, twenty years of suppressed undercover work would twist her emotions."
"So later on, Qian Renxue would likely fall in love with Tang San!"
"When she was twenty-nine, Bibi Dong, dissatisfied with waiting so long, had Qian Renxue poison Xue Ye to death ahead of schedule."
"But at the critical moment, Tang San and the others entered the palace to save him. Qian Renxue still gave Tang San a chance to surrender, and in the end, her carelessness caused everything to come to nothing..."
"After the plan failed, Qian Renxue placed the blame on Bibi Dong."
"She believed Bibi Dong had acted too hastily by making her poison Xue Ye, which caused her bid for power to fail."
"Ah..."
At this point, even Song Ye sighed speechlessly.
Helplessly, he said, "Actually, on this point, I side with Bibi Dong."
"They had already waited a full twenty years without accomplishing anything."
"Xue Ye was also a Soul Master, and his lifespan far exceeded that of ordinary people. If you did not move quickly, were you supposed to wait another few decades?"
"Forget a few decades. Even if you waited a few more years, would Tang San not grow stronger? Would the Upper Three Sects not unite? All kinds of variables would emerge endlessly!"
"The failure to seize power back then was clearly because Qian Renxue had feelings for Tang San and did not intend to kill him from the start!"
"That woman has cultivation talent, and she was unwilling to start a war, choosing instead to go undercover. She was also somewhat less brutal."
"Unfortunately, she was only suited for fighting, not playing at strategy!"
"Leaving aside the final failure of the plan, just look at how long she stayed in the Heaven Dou Empire, constantly talking about building connections."
"But who did she actually win over?"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Ning Fengzhi approached her on his own. What did that have to do with her?"
"It could be said that this plan should never have existed from the beginning!"
"If she had any brains, she would have focused on cultivation since childhood, taken the God Trial a few years earlier, and become the Angel God!"
"At that point, forget the Heaven Dou Empire—even if she wanted to deal with Bibi Dong, it would have been effortless!"
By the end, Song Ye had become so immersed in it that he was practically furious at her for failing to meet expectations.
Such a perfect setup, yet she had somehow avoided every correct answer and stubbornly chosen the worst possible option.
If he had those resources, he could unify Douluo Continent in minutes!
After hearing him out, Bibi Dong's expression grew increasingly solemn as her mind continuously analyzed his words.
Upon careful consideration, Song Ye was entirely right.
Bibi Dong muttered inwardly:
Ye'er is completely right.
It seems this plan was wrong from the very beginning. I was foolish back then too!
But Ye'er said the key to the plan's failure was Qian Renxue's feelings for Tang San.
Is there a way to prevent that?
Although Bibi Dong regretted carrying out the plan as well, Qian Renxue had already been working at it for so long. She could not possibly be called back so easily.
She hurriedly asked:
"Ye'er, you said Qian Renxue mainly lets her emotions sway her."
"If Qian Renxue does not fall for Tang San, then there will not be a problem, right?"
Hearing this, Song Ye glanced at Bibi Dong, thinking that his mother was really taking this seriously.
He waved his hand and said:
"Even if she succeeds, it will not make much difference."
"Tang San is no ordinary person. Part of the reason he grows in the future is because he receives Xue Ye's support."
"Of course, even without that, he has other ways to rise. Even becoming a god would not be difficult for him."
What Song Ye meant was naturally the Asura God's inheritance.
Even if Tang San did not obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, he still had Divine Slaughter's Domain. With his talent, he could still catch the Asura God's attention.
Even if Qian Renxue seized political power, she would not be able to deal with Tang San.
However, Song Ye continued:
"But if Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong can unite against a common enemy and act earlier, there may still be a chance to deal with Tang San."
"Qian Renxue does have her issues, but she is not all that bad."
"Why did she carry out that mission? Why did she fall for Tang San so easily?"
"To put it bluntly, she lacks love!"
"Her father died when she was young, her mother did not love her either, and her grandfather was just a useless old man."
"Qian Renxue never experienced the love of parents while growing up, which is why she developed that sort of personality."
"If Bibi Dong gave her even a little care, perhaps Qian Renxue would still listen to Bibi Dong."
"In their future battle against Tang San, Qian Renxue would nearly die saving Bibi Dong, while Bibi Dong would also die saving Qian Renxue."
"If the two of them had no rift between them, Douluo Continent would have long since belonged to that mother and daughter!"
"Qian Renxue also desperately wants Bibi Dong's love, and Bibi Dong cannot truly let go of this daughter either..."
"One can only say that both of them are too proud."
As he said this, Song Ye truly found it somewhat regrettable.
Although it would benefit him if those two did not stand together, both of them were hateful and pitiful in their own ways.
Listening to Song Ye, Bibi Dong fell even deeper into silence, her eyes filled with contemplation.
Indeed, Qian Renxue did hold a place in her heart.
Though Qian Xunji was the reason she had always been unwilling to see Qian Renxue,
Qian Renxue was still her own flesh and blood. How could she truly be completely heartless?
In the original story's ending, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were both willing to die for each other. That was already a very clear indication.
Though Bibi Dong had also taken Hu Liena as a disciple to fill the void left by losing her daughter,
in truth, whenever Hu Liena made a mistake in the original story, Bibi Dong was utterly ruthless and could injure Hu Liena with a casual strike.
No one could replace Qian Renxue's position in Bibi Dong's heart.
Unless it was Song Ye. He was a boy, and in Bibi Dong's heart, he held the place of a son, which was different from that of a daughter.
Thus, after Song Ye finished speaking, Bibi Dong naturally fell into thought.
Could it be that she had truly handled this matter wrongly?
