The Truth Behind Qian Xunji's Death

"Mother, how are you?"

"Don't die! Don't scare Xiao Xue!"

"Why did you hurt my mother?!"

Seeing Bibi Dong covered in blood, collapsed in a pool of it and barely clinging to life,

Qian Renxue's face drained of color. Her little hands trembled as she helped Bibi Dong up from the ground.

She held her tightly in her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

When Bibi Dong showed no reaction, Qian Renxue fearfully reached out to check her breathing.

Finding that she was still breathing and still had an extremely faint pulse, Qian Renxue's unsettled heart relaxed slightly.

At the same time, a trace of hatred arose in her heart toward Ling Feng.

Yes, her mother had treated her poorly.

But no matter what, she was still her mother by blood, bound to her by ties thicker than water.

Ling Feng, meanwhile, was ultimately just an outsider—an outsider she had known for less than a day!

"Why?!"

"You're just an outsider. What right do you have to hurt my mother in the name of doing what's best for me?"

Qian Renxue stood up, hatred in her eyes as she aggressively questioned Ling Feng.

Ling Feng actually saw a glimmer of hatred in Qian Renxue's eyes.

For a moment, his heart stirred slightly, and a dark line creased his brow.

He felt like cursing.

It was no good for a Guardian to be hated by the one they guarded.

Just look at Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji.

If his relationship with Qian Renxue were simply like that between Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji,

he could eliminate Qian Renxue right now and put an end to all future troubles.

But the key problem was that he and Qian Renxue were bound together by the system. Everything between them was closely intertwined.

Ling Feng suppressed the urge to curse and fixed his gaze on Qian Renxue.

He snorted coldly and spoke without a ripple in his eyes.

"If that's truly what you think, and you're even willing to make an enemy of me to defend her, then you really are your father's little darling—one with holes in the padding!"

Qian Renxue: "???!"

Qian Renxue was stunned for two seconds, unable to understand what Ling Feng meant.

As confusion filled her heart, Ling Feng continued.

"Have you truly never doubted the cause of your father's death?"

"Tang Hao was indeed incredibly powerful and renowned throughout the land."

"But at the time, he had only just become a level 90 Titled Douluo."

"Your father, on the other hand, was a level 95 Titled Douluo who had been famous for many years."

"Could Tang Hao really have struck your father so severely with a single hammer blow that he died of his wounds?"

"If he had truly been injured to that extent, how could your father have possibly escaped back in silence?"

After a pause, Ling Feng added, "After your father died, did you ever see him?"

"Are you really certain that he died from his injuries? Could there have been another cause of death?"

As he said this, Ling Feng glanced at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly.

It was as though Ling Feng had exposed the shame she had concealed.

Seeing this, a teasing smile appeared on Ling Feng's lips.

Qian Renxue's mind reeled, and Ling Feng instantly redirected her thoughts toward her father's death.

She recalled how she had just asked her mother to let her see her father one last time.

Yet her mother had sternly refused.

Could there truly be something about her father's death that she did not know?!

What else had her mother concealed from her?

Qian Renxue had known since childhood that her father and mother had never gotten along.

A trace of interrogation entered Qian Renxue's gaze as she stared at the guilty, uneasy Bibi Dong.

Likewise, Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong with an interrogative gaze.

Ling Feng was right. Qian Xunji's death was full of suspicious details.

He had harbored doubts from the very beginning.

Tang Hao might have been one of the renowned Haotian Twin Stars, but his Qian Xunji had not been inferior either.

The Clear Sky Hammer Spirit and the Six-Winged Angel Spirit had always been evenly matched.

Furthermore, Tang Hao had only just become a level 90 Titled Douluo.

His Qian Xunji had been a famous level 95 Titled Douluo for years. How could he possibly have been hammered to death with a single blow?

The first person Qian Xunji had seen upon returning was Bibi Dong, and it was Bibi Dong who had announced his death.

So what role had Bibi Dong played in all of this?

Several gazes converged upon Bibi Dong at once.

Bibi Dong's already guilty and unnatural expression instantly turned even paler.

Qian Renxue pursed her lips and stared at Bibi Dong with a complicated expression.

If Ling Feng was right and her mother had played a part in her father's death,

what should she do if it truly had been her mother?

The person who loved her the least had killed the person who loved her most. What was she supposed to do?

"Mother, is it really as Ling Feng said?"

"Did you really have a hand in Father's... death?!"

After all, she was still her mother.

Qian Renxue could not bear to see her lying there, crippled and weak.

She separated a thread of sacred Angel Spirit Power from her origin power.

Carefully, she infused that thread of sacred Angel Spirit Power formed from her origin power into Bibi Dong's body.

Under Qian Renxue's deliberate guidance, the Angel Spirit Power reconnected Bibi Dong's hand and foot tendons that had been severed by Sword Qi.

As for the meridians damaged by the Sword Qi, Qian Renxue's cultivation was too limited to repair them.

After doing everything in her power to heal Bibi Dong as much as possible,

Qian Renxue lowered her head and silently moved a step away from her.

Standing a meter away, she stared directly at Bibi Dong.

Her gaze remained fixed on Bibi Dong's face, not missing a single change in expression.

That gaze contained every kind of emotion. It was exceedingly complicated, gradually becoming unfamiliar.

Facing such a gaze, Bibi Dong's heart trembled.

An indescribable feeling of anguish shrouded her heart, making her deeply uncomfortable.

"Bibi Dong, explain yourself!" Qian Daoliu shouted coldly. His face darkened as he stepped forward and roared at Bibi Dong.

"How did your Soul Power suddenly break through level 90?"

"And what exactly is that trace of divinity beneath you?"

"Was Qian Xunji's death connected to you?!"

Bibi Dong pressed her lips together, not daring to make a sound.

Her poison-laced gaze fixed viciously on Ling Feng.

Feeling their hostility, she suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"That's right. Qian Xunji's death was indeed inextricably connected to me."

"I killed him. I devoured his Soul Power, as well as his angel soul."

Bibi Dong revealed an exceptionally vicious and cruel grin, madness flashing through her eyes.

"The reason I was able to break through level 90 was because I devoured his Angel Spirit Power."

"The reason I was chosen by a god and named the inheritor of the Rakshasa God was also because I devoured his angel soul."

"The Rakshasa God is an evil god of slaughter, born in opposition to the God of Light."

"I killed Qian Xunji, devoured his Soul Power, and devoured his angel soul.

That was why the Rakshasa God took notice of me and chose me as the inheritor of her divine position."

Tears flowed from Bibi Dong's eyes, two clear streams running down her cheeks.

"What I did was what he deserved. He was the one who ruined me!"

"He forced himself on me in that secret chamber and made me conceive Qian Renxue."

"He threatened me and forcibly took me, forcing me to give birth to her!"

"From the moment he forced himself upon me, I swore a poisonous oath.

I would destroy everything he had and make sure he died a miserable death, condemned beyond redemption!"

Witnessing Bibi Dong's madness and learning that Qian Xunji had truly died at her hands,

while seeing that Bibi Dong did not feel the slightest remorse, Qian Daoliu could not help but curse.

"You madwoman!"

At the same time, fury surged in his heart.

Qian Xunji was his only son, yet this madwoman Bibi Dong had killed him.

Qian Renxue could not accept this reality.

She stood there utterly lost, like a pitiful little kitten wandering the streets.

Her eyes were dim and colorless, having lost their former light.
