The Truth is a Knife

[Heavenly King Covers Earth Fox: I don't believe it! This is all forged! You are insulting Teacher's feelings!]

Hu Liena's emotions surged as well; she could not accept this reality. In her eyes, Teacher was sacred!

[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Absolute nonsense! This video is definitely a forgery! Xiao Gang's talent is witnessed by heaven and earth; his theories were all researched through his own blood, sweat, and tears—how could they be plagiarized! Don't you dare slander him!]

Seeing the comments in the group questioning Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong grew anxious in an instant.

In her heart, Yu Xiaogang was the most talented person in the spirit master world. Those theories that overturned common knowledge were surely the fruits of his exhaustive efforts.

She would never allow anyone to slander the man she loved so deeply. Even with the evidence right before her eyes, she dismissed it as a malicious lie fabricated by the group owner.

[6G Sky Wing: Overflowing with talent? Heh.]

Qian Renxue let out a cold sneer.

[6G Sky Wing: A despicable wretch who climbed to the top by stealing a woman's achievements—is he even worthy of being called a 'Grandmaster'?]

Qian Renxue stared at the images on the screen, her eyes filled with intense contempt and hatred.

She had long since read those so-called theories of Yu Xiaogang; they were riddled with holes and unbearable to look at. Now, it was confirmed that they were stolen goods.

What she loathed even more was that if this man hadn't disrupted that woman's life, perhaps she wouldn't have become so cold and heartless, and she herself wouldn't have had to live in a cold environment devoid of maternal love since childhood, unable to even utter a normal "Mother."

This man was not only despicable, but he had also destroyed her chance at having a normal family!

[6G Sky Wing: When it comes down to it, it's all thanks to that incompetent and base man. If not for him, where would all this entanglement come from? It's a wonder you are still arguing endlessly over such a person.]

Qian Renxue's words gained the approval of the vast majority of the sisters in the group.

They all felt that this Yu Xiaogang was nothing but trash.

[Fire-Breathing Dragon: What do you know! Xiao Gang is not that kind of person! This is all the group owner's conspiracy, deliberately forging videos to sow discord!]

Forged? Such explosive gossip—they didn't believe for a second that it was fake.

Moreover, looking at the reactions of these two women, so anxious and flustered, this gossip looked absolutely authentic.

The group owner is a legend.

[Most Beautiful Pope: Stop being so hypocritical. And another thing, our affairs are not for the likes of you to gossip about. Stop fanning the flames!]

Bibi Dong already harbored resentment toward others interfering in her past with Yu Xiaogang. Hearing her say "Xiao Gang" over and over, and attempting to dictate things to her, her anger flared even higher.

[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Hypocritical? Bibi Dong, get a grip! This video is clearly a forgery, meant to ruin your reputation while slandering Xiao Gang! How can you lack even this basic ability to discern the truth?]

Liu Erlong also grew incensed. She felt she was offering well-intentioned advice only to be met with Bibi Dong's harsh words. Old grudges and current fury intertwined.

[Most Beautiful Pope: Whether I am clear-headed or not is not for an outsider like you to judge! You keep saying "Xiao Gang" this and "Xiao Gang" that, defending him—who exactly are you to him?]

Although Bibi Dong had guessed the other woman's identity, the words felt like they struck a nerve, and her tone became increasingly sharp.

Liu Erlong stubbornly insisted the video was fake, desperately defending Yu Xiaogang. The argument between the two over the video's content intensified, thick with the scent of gunpowder.

The group members fell silent, silently watching the confrontation between these two "powerhouses."

The gossip here was truly massive. This one called Fire-Breathing Dragon also seemed to be a lovesick fool ruined by Yu Xiaogang.

I'm so curious about her story.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, Qian Renxue watched the argument on the screen, a cold sneer curling her lips.

Dogs biting dogs, leaving only fur behind. Splendid, truly splendid.

Seeing Bibi Dong lose her composure, a sense of satisfaction surged within her!

In the Aili Secret Pavilion, watching the rapidly soaring emotional points, Ye Qiong grinned from ear to ear: "Fight! Fight even harder!"

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: Everyone stop arguing. What is there to fight about?]

Ye Qiong slowly interrupted the dispute.

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: Is it worth it for a man? Besides, you all seem to have gotten one thing wrong.]

These words left both Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong stunned.

[Most Beautiful Pope: What do you mean?]

[Fire-Breathing Dragon: ...]

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: Don't be impatient, the best part is yet to come.]

[Ding! Group owner "Face-Tanking Ultimate" has uploaded the video file Biography of Bibi Dong: Part Two]

Everyone, including the furious Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, clicked on the second video as if under a spell.

The screen was dim; the scene appeared to be inside a secret chamber.

A young Bibi Dong knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face as she begged a tall figure standing before her.

The figure was shrouded in shadow, but from the magnificent attire and powerful aura, it was clear that this was the Pope at the time, Qian Xunji.

"Teacher, I beg you, please grant Xiao Gang and me your blessing! I love him, I cannot live without him!"

The man in the shadows let out a cold sneer, his voice filled with disdain and cruelty.

"Love? How laughable. You are my most outstanding disciple, the future hope of Spirit Hall. Your future is the supreme position of the entire continent, not wasting your talent on a piece of trash who cannot even break through his own martial soul."

"That's not true! He is different! He has talent!" Bibi Dong cried out in defense.

"Talent? It is nothing more than petty, plagiarized tricks. Did you really think I didn't know?"

Qian Xunji's voice was filled with mockery.

"I will give you one last chance. Leave him, forget that piece of trash, and you will remain my good disciple."

"No! I will never leave him!" The young girl's eyes were incredibly stubborn.

Qian Xunji's patience seemed to have run out. He slowly stepped forward, grabbed Bibi Dong by the chin, and spoke in an icy, sinister tone.

"Since your heart has become so impure, let Teacher help you 'purify' it."

"Everything you have was given to you by Spirit Hall, and it can only belong to Spirit Hall."

The screen suddenly went black at this point.

Immediately following, there were the girl's desperate cries and heart-wrenching screams, but they quickly faded away.

When the screen lit up again, only Bibi Dong remained in the secret chamber.

She was curled up in the corner, her clothes in disarray, and her once-clear eyes held nothing but emptiness and dead silence.

At the end of the video, a voice-over sounded.

"That day, the Saintess of Spirit Hall died. Not long after, she discovered she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter."

"To protect this secret, and for the sake of revenge, she cultivated desperately thereafter, eventually ending that man's life with her own hands and becoming the new Pope of Spirit Hall."

The video ended, and the entire group chat fell into a deathly silence.
