Qian Xunji now had the same question as Bibi Dong. He knew her and knew she was proud at heart.
Bibi Dong had Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, and she was also Spirit Hall's saintess. She certainly had reason to be proud.
How could someone like her get involved with trash like Yu Xiaogang?
Hearing Bibi Dong say that, Tang Fan also laughed. "Hehe, that's actually something we readers find hard to understand too.
"Let me continue. Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power Level was stuck at level 29, and he simply couldn't raise it. But he couldn't accept that and was determined to prove himself.
"So he took a different path. He wanted to study Martial Soul Theory and become a master of theory, thereby proving himself."
"Wanting to prove himself isn't such a bad thing."
"Already starting to admire him?"
"Of course not. I was just being fair."
"If Yu Xiaogang had really been willing to settle down and study Martial Soul Theory, and truly wanted to make some achievements in it, that would have been one thing. But his original intention was to prove he wasn't trash.
"So he never settled down to study Martial Soul Theory. He only wanted to take shortcuts.
"After reading the Martial Soul records in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's collection, where do you think he went?"
"Spirit Hall!?"
In the Worship Hall in Spirit City on the Douluo Continent, Qian Xunji glanced at Yu Xiaogang.
"So you came to Spirit City with designs on the Martial Soul records Spirit Hall has collected over the years. You've really got some nerve! Hehe..."
Qian Xunji was so angry he laughed. A piece of trash from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan dared to covet Spirit Hall's records. Did he really think Qian Xunji could no longer lift a blade?
At this point, Yu Xiaogang threw caution to the wind and shouted at Qian Xunji, "My research into Martial Soul Theory could benefit the entire Soul Master World. Shouldn't Spirit Hall provide some Martial Soul records? What did I do wrong?! What did I do wrong!!"
When Qian Daoliu heard that, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching. How did Yu Yuanzhen sire such a thing? What a disgrace to his family.
"Shut up. You have no place to speak here."
Golden Crocodile Douluo glared at Yu Xiaogang, and the pressure of his Soul Power immediately pinned Yu Xiaogang to the ground, unable to move.
Meanwhile, Tang Fan opened another can of cola and took a sip.
"That's right, Spirit Hall. But being Yu Yuanzhen's son alone wouldn't give him access to the precious records in Spirit Hall's collection, so he chose to approach you."
"You mean he approached me with an ulterior motive?"
"Although the book doesn't state it outright, that's probably not far from the truth.
"Next comes the most unbelievable part: you fell in love with him. You could even say you were obsessed."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could I fall in love with a piece of trash?"
"There's no point denying it to me. That's what the book says."
Tang Fan scrolled through his phone, found a picture of Yu Xiaogang when he was young, and handed it to Bibi Dong.
"Take a look. This is Yu Xiaogang when he was young. Maybe he's your type."
The sky screen over the Douluo Continent also showed a close-up of the picture. Now the entire continent knew what Yu Xiaogang looked like.
After looking at the picture, Bibi Dong's face was full of disgust. "How old was this Yu Xiaogang? Why did he look so old? He's not my type at all."
"He isn't? He was most likely the same age as you."
"The same age? He looks at least ten years older than me!"
Tang Fan took his phone back.
"Whether you admit it or not, you fell in love with Yu Xiaogang in the book."
Bibi Dong pursed her lips. She didn't want to admit it at all and even felt a little disgusted.
"Next, let's talk about what you, Spirit Hall's saintess, did for that piece of trash Yu Xiaogang.
"First, you used your authority as Spirit Hall's saintess to give him what he wanted most: the Martial Soul records Spirit Hall had collected over the years.
"Although Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects weren't openly opposed in your time, the Upper Three Sects were all secretly wary of the behemoth that was Spirit Hall.
"So that alone was already enough to put you under suspicion of betraying Spirit Hall."
"I..."
Bibi Dong wanted to explain herself, but she couldn't find any excuse at all. She could only stubbornly say one thing.
"Anyway, I've never done that."
The one who had done it was the Bibi Dong in the book, not her.
On the Douluo Continent, Qian Xunji's brow furrowed even deeper. Leaking Spirit Hall's records could be treated as either a major or a minor matter, but what he found hardest to accept was that Bibi Dong had actually fallen in love with trash like Yu Xiaogang.
It was the same old story of a good girl falling for a blond delinquent, except Yu Xiaogang wasn't even as good as one.
"Ji'er, you need to improve the way you teach your disciple. She can't spend all her time cultivating. There are some principles you still need to teach her."
"Yes, Father. I'll remember that."
Tang Fan continued listing Bibi Dong's deeds.
"Second, you disclosed some of Spirit Hall's secrets about the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul to Yu Xiaogang. You even told him about the Soul Bone set."
"Impossible! How could I tell him something like that? I'm not crazy. Even if I were, I still wouldn't tell him."
She absolutely couldn't admit to that. Leaking core secrets was a grave crime in any sect.
She had to draw a clear line between herself and the Bibi Dong in the book.
In the Worship Hall on the Douluo Continent, Qian Daoliu's expression had also turned quite ugly. He was the Angel God's Great Enshrined, and he could never tolerate the inheritance secrets of the Angel Martial Soul being leaked.
In the original story, Qian Daoliu might never have known that Bibi Dong had leaked this secret to Yu Xiaogang.
Qian Xunji also sensed Qian Daoliu's killing intent and said, "Father, what the sky screen has described hasn't happened yet."
"I know. I don't need you to remind me. Hmph, what a fine disciple you've raised."
He glanced again at Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground. He was a scourge and couldn't be allowed to live, but he was Yu Yuanzhen's son, after all. If he killed him, he would have to consider the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reaction.
That was Qian Daoliu's fatal flaw: he looked back and forth and lacked the resolve to act.
Tang Fan smiled at the sight of Bibi Dong's frightened expression.
"Don't worry, there's more.
"As Spirit Hall's saintess, you took Yu Xiaogang along on a secret mission to attack Sea God Island, letting him learn of the existence of Sea God Island, the site of the Sea God Inheritance.
"That becomes very important later in the story."
"Attack Sea God Island?"
"In your timeline, it hasn't happened yet. You'll still have a chance to stop it when you go back."
"Stop it?"
"Because that operation cost Spirit Hall dearly.
"Spirit Hall sent a total of two thousand Soul Masters on the expedition to Sea God Island, only to return in defeat.
"Fewer than a hundred made it back to the continent alive, and two Titled Douluo were lost. Yu Xiaogang and you were among the few survivors."
"Huh? Sea God Island is that powerful?"
"It is the site of the Sea God Inheritance, after all. Sea God Island's high priestess is like your Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined: both are spokespeople for gods and level 99 Peerless Douluo."
