Lin Yu smiled faintly. "See? It wasn't Ah Yin who wanted to go. It was your Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Douluo who insisted on taking his wife, a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring transformed soul beast, there. But he should have known full well that there were risks involved. Tell me, why did he go?"

After Ah Yin stepped forward to testify, Lin Yu became even more confident in his deduction.

Lin Yu said confidently, "There is only one answer: someone, or some force, told Clear Sky Douluo to go to that city, which led to everything that happened. As for who or which force told him to go, I'm sure everyone knows perfectly well."

Tang Hao said furiously, "Enough! I wanted to go there myself. It has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect!"

Damn! He came out to confess that quickly?

Seeing Tang Hao suddenly jump out to shield the Clear Sky Sect, Lin Yu felt both speechless and amused.

Because Ah Yin stepping forward earlier to confirm his words had already shown—

Ah Yin had come to believe that the Clear Sky Sect was the true culprit.

Yet Tang Hao did not think about solving the problem, admitting his mistake, or asking Ah Yin to forgive the Clear Sky Sect.

Instead, he insisted on protecting the Clear Sky Sect and taking all the blame upon himself.

Taking sides like this—was he deliberately trying to stir up family conflict?

From beginning to end, Tang Hao had been the absolute biggest winner.

Not only had he become the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent at the time, but he had also obtained a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring and a soul bone.

Although the Clear Sky Sect had ultimately overplayed its hand, as long as it had him, the youngest Titled Douluo, it had not lost out!

But from beginning to end, Ah Yin had suffered the greatest losses!

Not only had she been forced into sacrificing herself—though she had not died, she was not far from it.

She might also never be able to acknowledge her son for the rest of her life. She probably would not even get to see him once.

If she had suffered such a tragic fate because of an enemy like Spirit Hall, perhaps Ah Yin could have endured it.

But then she discovered that her husband Tang Hao's own family had deliberately plotted against her. It would be strange if Ah Yin could endure that.

And now, her husband Tang Hao was still taking their side. He was unwilling even to demand an explanation or an apology from the Clear Sky Sect, refusing to admit anything no matter what.

If Lin Yu were Ah Yin, he would probably be furious enough to go mad.

Ah Yin said, "Brother Hao, you..."

Seeing Tang Hao suddenly step forward and declare that none of this had anything to do with the Clear Sky Sect, Ah Yin felt conflicted and unable to believe it.

The answer was right in front of him, yet he still would not admit it?

I'm not even asking you to avenge me. Is it too much to ask the Clear Sky Sect for an explanation and an apology?

Do you love me, or do you love the Clear Sky Sect?

Tang Hao said furiously, "Ah Yin, don't believe this brat's nonsense! None of this has anything to do with the Clear Sky Sect. I thought you must have been bored from living in seclusion, so I wanted to give you a surprise and took you to that city. I never expected to encounter people from Spirit Hall. The Clear Sky Sect was also badly hit because of us—it was a victim too!"

Seeing Tang Hao's words in the Live Stream Room, Ah Yin only felt a chill in her heart.

Though she was a soul beast who had taken human form, she had lived in the human world for many years. She was not stupid.

They had been living peacefully in seclusion when her husband Tang Hao suddenly said he wanted to take her to a nearby city.

There was no way he had done so without a reason!

And after Tang Hao took her to that city, he had said that he wanted to give her a surprise.

But that surprise was definitely not something as simple as taking her out for a stroll.

Lin Yu sighed. "Ah! Tang Hao, you really can lie with your eyes wide open. You say this has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect? Who are you trying to fool? If it truly had nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect, and your wife isn't dead, then tell me: why have you been utterly despondent all these years? Why have you even neglected your son? You clearly have a guilty conscience!"

After saying this, Lin Yu sneered inwardly.

In his previous life, he had always looked down on Tang Hao for being so irresponsible.

If Ah Yin had truly died, he could still understand it.

But Ah Yin clearly had not died, yet Tang Hao remained utterly despondent and drowned himself in drink every day.

If Tang San had not been a transmigrator, he probably would have starved to death!

In the novel, this could only be regarded as a plot hole.

But in this real Douluo Continent, based on the answer Lin Yu had deduced, everything could be explained reasonably.

It was because the Clear Sky Sect had caused Ah Yin's sacrifice, but Tang Hao could not take revenge on the Clear Sky Sect. Thus, he could only drown his sorrows in alcohol every day and numb himself.

Tang Hao said in shocked fury, "You... How do you know about my current situation?!"

When Lin Yu actually revealed his current circumstances, Tang Hao could not help feeling shocked and enraged.

Lin Yu snorted. "Why can't I know? What do you think I wished for as the reward for my first Q&A?"

Lin Yu had long prepared a response for Tang Hao's shocked fury. He merely gave a disdainful cold snort and answered with an ambiguous reply.

This was an answer Lin Yu had carefully considered for a long time.

Because if the Live Stream Room asked questions about the future later on—

and Lin Yu answered every single one correctly, he would certainly arouse suspicion.

What Lin Yu had said to Tang Hao explained why he knew the answers to these questions.

On the surface, it seemed as if Lin Yu was saying—

that for the wish-granting opportunity he had received from the first Q&A, he had wished to learn about all sorts of things in the Douluo Continent so that he could answer future questions correctly.

But no one would truly believe that, because an ordinary person could never become omniscient.

If someone insisted on making such a wish, their brain would probably explode from being unable to withstand it!

Therefore, Lin Yu did not answer directly. Instead, he gave an ambiguous answer and let the people in the Live Stream Room speculate for themselves.

People never fully believed what others said. They preferred to believe in conclusions they reached themselves.

So later, based on Lin Yu's performance—

someone would naturally imagine and deduce for themselves just how much omniscience Lin Yu had wished for with his first wish.

Could the wish-granting reward from this kid's first Q&A have been a wish to know everything that had happened in the past, present, and future of the Douluo Continent?

Upon seeing Lin Yu's response to Tang Hao, many people in the Live Stream Room were deeply shocked.

But before long, someone dismissed this idea.

Setting aside whether this so-called Live Stream Room could grant someone such an ability, even if it could, an ordinary person would absolutely be incapable of bearing such power.

Therefore, even if Lin Yu had wished to know what happened in the past, present, and future of the Douluo Continent, there had to be limits to it!

Still, this kid had some brains to think of such a wish.

It was far more useful than simply wishing for the cultivation of a level ninety-nine Titled Douluo!

At the very least, none of them had thought of making a wish like that.

Ah Yin said sorrowfully, "Brother Hao, even now, you still refuse to admit it? I'm not asking you to avenge me. I only want you to make the Clear Sky Sect give us an explanation!"

I...

Seeing Ah Yin's words, Tang Hao felt immense pain in his heart.

Indeed, Lin Yu was not wrong.

Back then, someone from the Clear Sky Sect had indeed told him to take Ah Yin there.

But he could not admit it!

If he did, the Clear Sky Sect's reputation would be ruined!
