Yu Xiaogang: I simply didn't know back then. Had I known, I would have destroyed Spirit Hall at any cost

"What happened?" Qian Renxue asked urgently.

Outside the Sky Screen, during the Spirit Hall era, the Pope's Palace was empty except for Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong gripped her papal robes tightly with both hands as scenes of her humiliation surfaced in her mind.

"Qian Xunji, I swore back then that I would destroy Spirit Hall, and I will keep my word! I will make Spirit Hall disappear completely into the long river of history! Hahahaha!"

Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot, filled with madness. Under the influence of the Rakshasa God's divine will, she no longer cared about anything.

Just then, she looked at Qian Renxue in the Sky Screen and froze.

"Xue'er..."

Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue looked at Jiang Yan, her eyes full of urgency.

Although she already had a guess... she still hoped to hear a definite answer from Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan looked at Qian Renxue and slowly said, "For Spirit Hall's future, Qian Xunji locked Bibi Dong in a secret chamber and forced himself on her, getting her pregnant."

"So I was conceived back then..." At this point, Qian Renxue no longer dared to ask further.

She felt as though the sky had collapsed. Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong had never loved each other, and even her own birth had been so absurd.

She finally understood why Bibi Dong had disliked her since childhood, even refusing to let her call him Mother.

She had actually been born under such circumstances...

No one spoke in the previously noisy living room. Only the sound of the Douluo Continent Anime playing remained.

Jiang Yan, Ye Guyi, and Leng Yaozhu said nothing. They all looked toward Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue could no longer restrain the emotions she had bottled up for so long. Tears kept welling at the corners of her eyes.

She had always believed that she could not earn Bibi Dong's approval because she was not outstanding enough.

For that reason, starting at nine years old, she had given up her prime years for cultivation and infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire, impersonating Xue Qinghe, all to help Spirit Hall seize the Heaven Dou Empire...

At the same time, everyone in the Sky Screen Livestream Room began discussing it.

[Xu Xiaoyan: Wait, how does this gossip keep getting juicier?]

[Meng Hongchen: We know Tang San's teacher is Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang's former lover is Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong's daughter is Qian Renxue. But at the end of the story, I remember Tang San killed Bibi Dong himself, right? How are these relationships such a mess?]

[Yuanen Yehui: So did Yu Xiaogang later turn against Spirit Hall for Bibi Dong?]

[Xu Xiaoyan: Of course not. As if he'd have the guts!]

[Yu Xiaogang: What did you say? I simply didn't know back then. Had I known, I would have destroyed Spirit Hall at any cost!]

[Bibi Dong: ...]

In his room, Yu Xiaogang was filled with remorse. "It was all my fault, Dong'er. It was all because I was too weak. If I had the strength of a Limit Douluo-no, even a Titled Douluo-I would destroy Spirit Hall and avenge you!"

Within the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue regained her composure, turned toward Jiang Yan, and asked softly,

"What happened afterward? Did Yu Xiaogang cause trouble for Spirit Hall for that wom... for Bibi Dong?"

Jiang Yan shook his head and said, "Cause trouble for Spirit Hall? Yu Xiaogang didn't have the guts. He only dared to lose his temper at Bibi Dong."

"He even thought Bibi Dong looked down on him for being weak and untalented, unworthy of her status as Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden."

"Didn't Bibi Dong tell him the truth?" Qian Renxue asked.

"No. If Bibi Dong dared say anything, Qian Xunji would go after Yu Xiaogang the very next second. How could she dare tell him?"

Qian Renxue: "..."

She had never imagined that her father, Qian Xunji, was such a person.

"Actually, Qian Xunji would have done this with or without Yu Xiaogang," Jiang Yan suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Qian Renxue asked in confusion.

"Qian Xunji's Angel Martial Soul wasn't flawless. Because her mother's bloodline was very weak, Qian Xunji couldn't unlock the Angel Nine Trials and inherit the Angel Godhood. So he kept waiting for Bibi Dong to break through to Soul Saint. Only then would their offspring be qualified to inherit the Angel Godhood," Jiang Yan said.

"So from the very beginning, Bibi Dong was... being schemed against by Qian Xunji?" Qian Renxue asked.

"That's right." Jiang Yan nodded.

"And it was from that moment on that Bibi Dong changed completely. Or rather, she went completely mad. She was no longer the innocent Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall she had once been."

"Mad? What do you mean?" Qian Renxue asked in confusion.

In Qian Renxue's memories, apart from how Bibi Dong would lose control of her emotions when dealing with her,

when had Bibi Dong's usual behavior as Spirit Hall's Pope ever shown the slightest trace of madness?

"Take the time Qian Xunji led a team to hunt down the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, and Ah Yin ultimately sacrificed herself to Tang Hao."

Hearing this, the confusion in Qian Renxue's eyes deepened.

That very incident had led to Qian Xunji's death, Bibi Dong succeeding him as Pope, and the Clear Sky Sect being forced into seclusion.

"But what does that have to do with Bibi Dong being mad?"

"Was it because Qian Xunji was killed by Tang Hao that Bibi Dong went mad?" Ye Guyi asked.

"Of course not. Ever since the secret chamber incident, Bibi Dong had been desperate for Qian Xunji to die. How could she go mad over that?" Jiang Yan said.

"Then what was the reason?" Qian Renxue was now completely lost.

She felt as though she had lived her twenty-odd years for nothing.

Why did she understand less the more she heard?

"Qian Xunji was only severely injured by Tang Hao. He didn't die." Jiang Yan revealed a truth Spirit Hall had concealed for years.

"The one who actually killed Qian Xunji was Bibi Dong. She used Qian Xunji's corpse to unlock the Rakshasa God Trial."

"The one Bibi Dong wanted revenge against was Spirit Hall!"

Qian Renxue drew a deep breath. The successive revelations left her struggling to breathe.

Meanwhile, outside the Sky Screen, during the Spirit Hall era, Golden Crocodile Douluo brought several other worshippers to see Qian Daoliu in the Worship Hall.

"Big Brother, did you hear all that? Bibi Dong actually killed Ji'er!"

"We should kill Bibi Dong and avenge Ji'er! Big Brother, just give the word, and I'll go seize Bibi Dong right now!" Golden Crocodile Douluo said indignantly.

"If we kill Bibi Dong, what about Xue'er? She has already lost her father. Do you want her to lose her mother too? This matter ends here!" Qian Daoliu said sternly.

Within the Sky Screen, Ye Guyi was already completely bewildered.

"So in this whole affair, was Spirit Hall in the wrong, was Qian Xunji in the wrong, or was Bibi Dong in the wrong?" Ye Guyi asked.

Jiang Yan shook his head and said, "On the Douluo Continent, there has never been any such thing as right or wrong. Everyone acts in their own interests."
