Tang Xiao (furious): Impossible! How could the culprit be our Clear Sky Sect? There must be something wrong with this Live Stream Room. This is impossible!
After the Live Stream Room announced that Lin Yu's answer was correct, Tang Xiao immediately flew into a rage.
He refused to believe that their Clear Sky Sect could have sold out Brother Hao and Third Sister.
They had gained no benefit from it at all. On the contrary, they had suffered enormous losses.
This answer simply made no sense!!
Hu Yanzhen (resentful): Right! I also think there's something wrong with it. This answer must be wrong. Maybe this Live Stream Room is up to something!
Ning Fengzhi: ...
Xue Ye: ...
Dai Tianfeng: ...
Warning! This Live Stream Room's answers are absolutely correct and uphold the principles of fairness and impartiality! It has been detected that visitor Hu Yanzhen deliberately slandered the fairness of this Live Stream Room. As punishment, one level of Soul Power shall be stripped away. If he offends again, the punishment will be multiplied tenfold. Three consecutive offenses will result in being kicked out of the Live Stream Room and permanently barred from reentry!
As Hu Yanzhen indignantly echoed Tang Xiao, a line of blood-red words suddenly appeared, accompanied by a cold voice.
Hu Yanzhen: I...!!!
Hu Yanzhen (furious): Why?! Why did Tang Xiao clearly slander you too, yet I'm the only one being punished? This isn't fair!
At the Elephant Armor Sect, Hu Yanzhen had merely vented his resentment over being punished during the first Q&A and echoed Tang Xiao.
Yet although both of them had cursed the Live Stream Room, only he had been punished and stripped of one level of Soul Power.
Feeling his Soul Power being taken away, Hu Yanzhen was beside himself with rage.
Fuck, this was too much! You couldn't keep picking on him alone!
This Live Stream Room permits questions about its answers, but it does not permit deliberate slander!
The system's cold voice rang out again.
This...
The system's response left Hu Yanzhen on the verge of tears.
Mom! He would never talk nonsense again!
Ning Fengzhi (sighing): Sigh! Though I do not wish to say this, setting aside the chance to make a wish come true from the first Q&A, the Live Stream Room was capable of causing my Martial Soul Evolution. Its power is likely no less than that of the legendary gods. I do not believe it has any reason to slander the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao (furious): Ning Fengzhi, what do you mean? Do you think our Clear Sky Sect sold out Brother Hao?
Ning Fengzhi (smiling faintly): My apologies! That is not what I mean. I merely expressed my view of the Live Stream Room. As for why Sect Master Tang Xiao refuses to believe this answer, you may ask young friend Lin Yu and see what he thinks.
Ning Fengzhi kicked the ball to Lin Yu.
Tang Xiao (furious): @Lin Yu, brat, you must give me an answer. Why do you think our Clear Sky Sect sold out Brother Hao? Our Clear Sky Sect suffered tremendous losses as well. What reason would we have to sell out Brother Hao?
Seeing Tang Xiao's furious words on the illusory screen, Lin Yu merely stretched lazily, a trace of mockery curling his lips.
Lin Yu (disdainful): I honestly find this pretty funny. Your Clear Sky Sect did indeed suffer severe losses, but what makes you think your Clear Sky Sect was a victim rather than the mastermind behind some scheme that got out of hand and ended up backfiring on you?
Tang Xiao: This...
Hearing Lin Yu's words, it was as though someone had suddenly splashed water over the flames in Tang Xiao's heart, sharply weakening his fury.
Right! Although their Clear Sky Sect had suffered serious losses,
being victims was not the only possibility...
Still, although Lin Yu's explanation could account for what had happened to the Clear Sky Sect,
Tang Xiao was naturally unwilling to believe it.
Tang Xiao (coldly): Hmph! That is merely your own opinion. It is not enough to conclude that our Clear Sky Sect is the culprit!
Seeing that Tang Xiao was still stubbornly denying it, Lin Yu sneered even more deeply.
Tang Xiao was such a fucking idiot. Couldn't he see that his Brother Hao had not said a word?
That was obviously a guilty conscience!
Lin Yu (sneering): Indeed, this alone is not enough to determine that your Clear Sky Sect is the culprit. But let me ask you this: you knew that Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, didn't you?
Tang Xiao: That... naturally, we knew.
Tang Xiao frowned deeply, unable to understand what Lin Yu was trying to ask.
Lin Yu (sneering): Good that you knew. Then let me ask you: since your Brother Hao knew Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, and likely also knew that human Titled Douluo could recognize her, was he an idiot? Why didn't he take his wife into seclusion and wait for the child to be born? Why did he insist on going to a major city? Did he not know the risks involved?
Tang Xiao (darkly): Ah Yin was different. Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in human form go through the juvenile stage, mature stage, and God Transformation Stage, equivalent to human levels 10–60, 60–90, and above 90 respectively. Once a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form cultivated past level 60 and reached the mature stage, Titled Douluo could no longer recognize it. Brother Hao must have believed Ah Yin would not be discovered, which was why he took her there!
Seeing Tang Xiao's response, Lin Yu immediately laughed.
Indeed, that was a fairly reasonable explanation.
But the problem was that it did not fit Ah Yin's personality in the original novel!
Ah Yin was not Huang Rong from The Legend of the Condor Heroes, lively and mischievous. She was a gentle and gracious woman.
For her to voluntarily ask to visit a major city while pregnant—wasn't that ridiculous?
Lin Yu (disdainful): Indeed, once a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form reaches the mature stage, Titled Douluo can no longer recognize it. But what if that mature-stage Soul Beast is pregnant? Could she still conceal herself then? No, she could not!
Lin Yu: Enough! I can't be bothered to argue with you. It is actually very simple to find out who is right. Bring Ah Yin out and ask her whether she wanted to go to the city Qian Xunji was heading to, or whether Tang Hao took her there. If Tang Hao took her there, then why did Tang Hao go there? Heh heh, that reason is highly suspicious.
After Lin Yu spoke, before Tang Xiao could call Ah Yin out,
Ah Yin stepped forward herself and spoke with a complicated heart.
Ah Yin: ...Brother Hao was the one who took me there.
After learning from the Live Stream Room that the culprit was the Clear Sky Sect,
Ah Yin recalled everything that had happened and could not help growing suspicious as well.
Ever since becoming pregnant, she had discovered that she could no longer completely conceal the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.
Tang Hao had always taken her into seclusion in all kinds of scenic places and had never wanted to take her to a major city.
As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor in human form, she had lived in the human world for many years and had long since lost any curiosity or desire to visit a major city.
But then, one day,
Tang Hao said he had a surprise for her and wanted to take her to a nearby major city. He brought her there.
Only then was she discovered by Qian Xunji.
Thinking back on why Tang Hao had suddenly taken her to that major city,
to Ah Yin, who knew Tang Hao well, the answer was actually obvious.
Someone had informed Tang Hao and told him to go there, and that person could only have come from the Clear Sky Sect!
Well, this book is full of conspiracy theories, but the logic is sound.
