Ning Fengzhi's Deductions: A Chilling Truth!

Inside a room in Spirit Hall, Hu Liena gradually recovered under the treatment of an auxiliary Soul Master.

Her injuries had simply been too severe.

If the Soul Master had not been high-level, the treatment could not have been so effective so quickly.

At that moment, Bibi Dong walked in from outside, her expression exceptionally grim all the way there.

She wished she could crush Qian Nuo to death.

But now she had no chance.

Her only chance was to become a god quickly.

Once she became a deity, she could kill him.

"How is Nana?" Bibi Dong asked the moment she entered.

The auxiliary Soul Master immediately answered respectfully, "Your Holiness, I have mostly healed Her Highness the Saintess's injuries. She will wake up soon."

"Was her foundation damaged?" Bibi Dong asked.

The auxiliary Soul Master shook his head. "No. That is a blessing amid misfortune."

"That's good." Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief at the answer.

She knew just how monstrous Qian Nuo was. If he had truly wanted to kill Hu Liena, that slap would have done it.

Even now, the thought of the black hand that had pierced her body made her heart tremble.

Soon, the unconscious Hu Liena woke up.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, she slowly pushed herself upright.

Fear still lingered in her eyes, and her delicate body was trembling.

The scene before she lost consciousness was still fresh in her memory.

For a six-year-old child, a huge slap to the face was a terrifying psychological trauma.

"Teacher, I, your disciple..." Nana's eyes moved, and she saw Bibi Dong beside her. She hurriedly scrambled up, wanting to say something out of guilt, but at that moment, she did not know what to say. She was at a loss for words.

She felt bitter too.

Bibi Dong sighed, came to Hu Liena's side, and reached out to stroke her head. "That slap must have hurt, didn't it?"

"Mhm." Hu Liena nodded, her delicate body trembling.

"You shouldn't have spoken up earlier. Some people didn't kneel to me, and I could see them too. Since I said nothing, I naturally had my reasons. Those two have extraordinary backgrounds. You should hurry and forget about this, and make yourself stronger as quickly as you can."

Bibi Dong spoke.

"Teacher, I-your disciple was wrong! I've disappointed you! It's all my fault. I embarrassed you in front of those people today and brought shame on you. Please punish me!"

Hu Liena got up and dropped to her knees before Bibi Dong with a thud. Tears glistened in her eyes as she lowered her head and confessed.

"Nana, you... sigh, get up quickly. You did nothing wrong. It's this world that's wrong."

Bibi Dong could not bear to see this. She had long raised Hu Liena as her own goddaughter, so naturally she could not bear to see her like this. She felt very close to Hu Liena, like both a father and a mother.

She helped Hu Liena up and said, "From now on, cultivate diligently. You'll have a chance to take revenge in the future."

It would be impossible for Nana to take revenge on her own in this lifetime, but once Bibi Dong herself became a god, there would be hope.

She said this now to make Hu Liena's desire to grow stronger burn even fiercer.

"Mhm, I understand! I'll definitely cultivate hard and won't disappoint you again!" Hu Liena nodded, determination in her eyes.

The humiliation Qian Nuo had brought her today would become the driving force behind her desperate efforts to grow stronger in the future!

She would remember today's disgrace and repay it a hundredfold someday!

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river-don't bully a poor young girl!!!!

Bibi Dong was very satisfied to see this.

However, there was no wall under heaven that could keep the wind out.

Those people had all promised they would not tell anyone, but once they had left the place of danger, that was no longer certain.

Soon, word of what had happened to Bibi Dong got out.

For now, it was still in its early stages, spreading first among the major powerful factions.

It had not yet spread fully to the outside world.

For instance, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect heard of it.

As the number one sect on the continent and also its wealthiest, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a formidable intelligence network of its own.

Without exaggeration, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had intelligence agents across almost all the lands of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had now received this information.

In the sect master's hall, Ning Fengzhi was playing with the infant girl in his arms. This was the future Ning Rongrong.

Just then, a spy ran in from outside and presented a confidential letter.

Since Ning Fengzhi's hands were occupied, Chen Xin took it for him.

When he opened it, its contents immediately left both men looking surprised, taken aback, and shocked.

Unfortunately, Gu Rong had been called away on urgent business and was not there to see this unbelievable news with them. Otherwise, he would surely have worn the same expression.

"This news is so absurd. Are you certain it's true?" Holding Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi frowned and looked gravely at the black-clad spy before him.

The black-clad spy hurriedly replied with respect, "Sect Master, this news is absolutely true! We verified it through multiple sources. Our own people did indeed see it with their own eyes!"

"You may go," Ning Fengzhi said, nodding and waving his hand.

The black-clad spy left at once.

Now only Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin remained in the hall.

"If that's true, then this is a major matter."

"Bibi Dong had barely taken the throne before someone caused trouble. That is good news, certainly, but the one who caused trouble was a mysterious youth. He possessed terrifying strength and could even break through Yue Guan and Gui Mei's Martial Soul Fusion Skill! How is that possible!? How on earth did he do it!?"

"Is there anything under heaven more absurd than this?!"

"He slapped her personal disciple Hu Liena in the face on the spot, and even Bibi Dong had to give way!"

"And someone even called him 'young master' to his face?"

"And Bibi Dong called him a bastard on the spot?"

"What does that mean?"

"Could it mean what I think it means?"

Holding Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi paced back and forth through the hall, sorting through the contents of the confidential letter. The more he considered it, the more terrifying he found the information within, making him break out in a sweat and shiver with dread.

"It very likely does mean what we think it means. Fengzhi, do you remember the rumors some time ago that the former Pope Qian Xunji and the Saintess Bibi Dong seemed to share a secret no one knew? The mysterious youth in this report was called a bastard by Bibi Dong. Could he be their child?! No, that's not right. The report says there was a boy and a girl-two children!"

"If that's really true, that's absolutely huge news! Qian Xunji and the Saintess had relations and secretly had two children! As their mother, the Saintess Bibi Dong called the two children bastards. That shows she doesn't love them, and that her relationship with Qian Xunji wasn't as good as it appeared. She hated Qian Xunji all along."

"If that's the case, then there's more to Qian Xunji's death than meets the eye! Tang Hao might not really have killed him. Although I think Tang Hao is a madman, he couldn't really have killed him and brought disaster upon the Clear Sky Sect. Following this line of reasoning, I feel that the one who truly killed Qian Xunji was very likely Bibi Dong."

"And the Clear Sky Sect was nothing more than a scapegoat used to throw people off the scent!"

Ning Fengzhi was a very clever man. In no time, he had deduced many chilling things.

Chen Xin said gravely, "We have no evidence for any of this, nor did we see or hear it ourselves. We absolutely cannot let it get out. Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could very well face disaster."
