"Grandpa, Sister, I know you don't believe in reincarnation, but could you listen to me first? I know not only what will happen over the next twenty-four years, but also some secrets from the past."

"Alright, go on."

Dugu Bo stroked his beard and nodded, his expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn.

Because his grandson's behavior truly did not resemble that of a six-year-old child!

So Dugu Bo wanted to hear more before making a judgment!

"Then I'll continue with what happened between Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji, and Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao a year ago."

"A year ago, while Tang Hao's wife Ah Yin was pregnant, he took her past Spirit City. Because Ah Yin was with child, she accidentally leaked the aura of a Soul Beast. That was what drew Qian Xunji and his subordinates to intercept and kill them! Qian Xunji wanted the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Spirit Bone!"

"Tang Hao fought as he retreated with his wife Ah Yin. At the final critical moment, his Soul Power broke through to Rank 90. At the same time, Qian Xunji and his subordinates closed in to kill them! Life and death hung by a thread!"

"At that moment, Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had just given birth, saw that there was no escape. So she sacrificed herself to Tang Hao! Tang Hao obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and successfully broke through to become a Title Douluo, making his name in a single battle!"

"After the battle, Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji, returned to Spirit Hall severely wounded. Then! While Qian Xunji was recovering from his injuries, Spirit Hall's Saintess Bibi Dong suddenly ambushed him in secret and killed him!"

"What?"

Dugu Bo cried out. Spirit Hall's Pope had actually been killed by Spirit Hall's Saintess?

Unbelievable!

"Why would Spirit Hall's Saintess kill the Pope? Wasn't Bibi Dong Qian Xunji's disciple?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Because a few years ago, Qian Xunji forced Bibi Dong in a secret chamber... Ahem~"

As he said this, Dugu Lin glanced at Dugu Yan, curled his right hand into a fist, and held it to his mouth as he pretended to cough twice.

"Anyway, Grandpa, you understand."

"Ahem~~"

Dugu Bo coughed awkwardly as well.

Dugu Yan, on the other hand, looked somewhat lost. She was only eight years old and still very innocent.

"In short! Bibi Dong gave birth to a daughter named Qian Renxue."

Dugu Lin secretly glanced at Dugu Yan. Seeing no unusual reaction from her, he continued, "So Bibi Dong hated Qian Xunji to the bone. That was why she ambushed and killed him while he was severely injured! In the end, she even pinned the blame on Tang Hao, forcing the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion."

"So that's how it was!"

Dugu Bo nodded thoughtfully.

If this was true, it was indeed a tremendous secret. However, Dugu Bo still remained doubtful about the matter of "Qian Xunji, secret chamber, Bibi Dong."

One person's account could not be fully trusted! Even if it came from his grandson, he still had to remain skeptical.

At this moment, Dugu Lin curled his lips slightly and asked with a wicked grin, "Grandpa, haven't you considered a question?"

"What question?"

"First, Tang Hao knew from beginning to end that his wife Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Since he knew his wife had taken human form from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, why did he bring her near Spirit City at such a dangerous time, when she was pregnant?"

"Ah... Th-this..."

Dugu Bo pinched his beard, his brows tightly furrowed.

Dugu Yan suddenly understood and muttered, "Could it have been intentional? Hmph~ So Clear Sky Douluo was that kind of person!"

Dugu Lin smiled and said, "As for Tang Hao's character, that's merely my personal speculation. Because twenty-four years later, no one would dare speculate about something like this."

"Why not?"

Dugu Yan was confused.

"Sister, don't rush. Let's take it slowly."

Dugu Lin continued unhurriedly, "Let's stop with the secret history for now and talk about some things that will happen in the future."

"Mm, go ahead."

"In the future, when I awakened... Ah, no! I mean, I've already awakened my Martial Soul: the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. My Innate Soul Power was only half a rank, so my talent was limited. But in the future, with Grandpa's protection, I still lived happily, spending my days fighting cocks and walking dogs... Ahem~~"

Dugu Lin gave a light cough and continued, "And you too, Sister. Your talent was very good. Later, you entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but you met a scumbag!"

"A scumbag?"

"Mm! Sister, you must watch out for someone in the future. His name is Yu Tianheng! In the future, he was the one who got you killed!"

Sneaking in a personal grudge!

Boom~!

All of a sudden, Soul Power erupted from Dugu Bo's body, startling Dugu Lin and Dugu Yan badly.

"Grandpa!"

Dugu Lin hurriedly called out. An eruption of Soul Power like that was practically a disaster to them.

Who would have thought that Dugu Bo would not restrain his aura at all? He even gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Tianheng! His surname is Yu? He dared lay a hand on my Yan'er! That old dragon must be tired of living!"

"Grandpa, that's in the future! It hasn't happened yet, calm down!"

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

Dugu Bo took three deep breaths before finally suppressing his rampaging Soul Power.

The pressure around them vanished. Dugu Lin said helplessly, "Grandpa, can't you stop being so impulsive?"

"Fine! I won't be impulsive."

Even though Dugu Bo knew that his grandson's words might not be true, hearing that his granddaughter had been killed still made him want to murder someone. His grandson and granddaughter were his untouchable reverse scales!

"Then I'll continue."

"Mm, go ahead."

"After Sister entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she began preparing for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Then, while traveling across the continent, she met Tang Hao's son, Tang San!"

After pausing, Dugu Lin clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "This Tang San was the chief culprit behind the deaths of all three of us!"

"Wh-what?"

Boom!!

This time, Dugu Bo's aura burst out directly. The immense Soul Power nearly crushed Dugu Lin and Dugu Yan to the ground.

Fortunately, it lasted only an instant. Dugu Bo abruptly withdrew his Soul Power and hurriedly asked, "Are you two alright? It's Grandpa's fault. Grandpa shouldn't have been so impulsive."

Dugu Lin's mouth twitched. He rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Grandpa, if I told you Tang San was the chief culprit, and you were his accomplice, would you slap yourself?"

"How could that be! I was his accomplice? And then our family... all died because of it? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Dugu Bo's face was full of fury. No matter how hard he tried, he could not believe it. How could something like that happen?

He had actually been an accomplice to the chief culprit who caused their entire family to perish?

Dugu Yan glared at Dugu Bo angrily, puffing out her cheeks as she said, "Grandpa, could you just listen to Little Brother properly until he finishes?"

"Oh, oh~~ Lin'er, continue. Grandpa promises not to interrupt this time."
