My father is...

Faced with Gu Qiuxi's question, Xu Xingyu was a little troubled about how to answer it. As for the answer, he knew it, since the person Wang Dong'er was talking about was her father, Tang San.

However, it wouldn't be appropriate for Xu Xingyu to reveal Wang Dong'er's identity as Tang San's daughter at this time, because it would force him to explain why he had to fight against Tang San, a hero (and villain) from ten thousand years ago.

It's important to know that there are still many people on the Douluo Continent who hold Tang San in high esteem, especially students like Ma Xiaotao who graduated from the Shrek Academy.

If someone claims to be Tang San's enemy before Tang San's faith has been completely eradicated, they will not only be wanted by the entire continent, but will also be viewed with hostility by most people on the continent.

Admittedly, in theory, Xu Xingyu and the Spirit Contract Pagoda's current combat power could directly declare war on the entire Douluo Continent, just like the Spirit Hall did ten thousand years ago, and the chances of winning would be relatively high. However, war is something that should be avoided if possible, not only because it consumes a lot of manpower and resources, but also because it can easily make things worse.

Just as Xu Xingyu was still feeling melancholy, Wang Dong'er finally spoke up, "The person we're talking about is my father."

"""Father?!?!?"""

After a moment of shock Xu Jiujiu stepped forward and said, "Wait, according to you, your so-called father is actually a god in the legendary Divine Realm? So you are the daughter of a god?"

Ma Xiaotao, who was standing nearby, then asked, "And didn't Tang San's ancestor say that gods can't interfere in the mortal realm? Isn't what he's doing a violation of those so-called Divine Realm rules?"

To this, Wang Dong'er replied calmly, "That's right, I am indeed the daughter of a god, but the other party treats me more as a pawn to control Douluo than as a daughter. As for your point about violating the rules, that person is responsible for monitoring Douluo Continent, so as long as it doesn't attract the attention of other gods, he can interfere in the continent covertly without any problems, except for not being able to openly do whatever he wants. There's nothing we can do about it; he has a lot of influence in the Divine Realm."

Everyone except Xu Xingyu was speechless. Wang Dong'er was actually the daughter of a god?! And judging from Xu Xingyu's expression, this was actually true?! It seemed like they had stumbled into something very troublesome a hundred years ago.

After some thought and consideration Xu Jiujiu rubbed his head, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "Let me sort this out first. First of all, Wang Dong'er is a daughter of a god, and also a pawn in your father's plan to unify the Douluo Continent. However, your father felt that Xu Xingyu, who inherited the power of another God Examination, was in the way, so he began to target him in every possible way. Is that right? If so, then I have a question: under these circumstances, how exactly did you become Xu Xingyu's fiancée?"

At this Xu Xingyu spoke up, "Because his attack on me was discovered by other perceptive God King, and after realizing that I was a God Examination, they were even more dissatisfied with that person's disregard for the rules of the Divine Realm. So they directly took it to the Divine Realm's court, and in the end, Dong'er's father was imprisoned."

"Afterwards, that person forced Dong'er into an engagement in an attempt to ease the tension between us. Therefore, our initial meeting wasn't very pleasant, and our relationship wasn't as good as it is now."

At this point, Wang Dong'er added, "Of course, this strained relationship continued until I discovered my father's true purpose in marrying me off. He placed a layer of Divine Sense on me, ostensibly to protect me, but in reality, that layer of Divine Sense was a controller that could control my body and mind at any time."

"Therefore, after I was forced to become Xu Xingyu's fiancée, he would occasionally forcibly control my body and try every means to Destruction Xu Xingyu's power, then steal the technology to use in his own sect on the continent. In the end, it was Xingyu who discovered my bastard father's conspiracy, and then used a special Divine Artifact to separate my Divine Sense from my body, giving me back my freedom. It was also at that time that I learned from the memories contained in my Divine Sense about all the things my father had done to me, so in order to repay Xu Xingyu and at the same time take revenge on my bastard father, I officially joined the Spirit Contract Pagoda."

"During this process, I truly fell in love with Xu Xingyu, even though I knew that his true love was still Gu Yuena. But I still took pride in that identity and actively considered myself Xu Xingyu's fiancée. That's roughly how it happened, although I've omitted a lot of details, but that's the gist of it."

"Uh, I think I understand." However, what Xu Jiujiu really thought was that he didn't understand anything, and others probably had similar thoughts.

From Xu Xingyu and Wang Dong'er's accounts, we can learn that Wang Dong'er's father is someone who fantasizes about turning Douluo Continent into his own backyard and a machine for producing Power of Faith. He also enjoys using all sorts of schemes and turning his own daughter into a puppet that he can use at any time to interfere in the mortal world. Overall, he is a very awful person.

At the time, everyone was puzzled: if Xu Xingyu and that god were practically enemies, why would Xu Xingyu accept Wang Dong'er as her fiancée?

Normally, a reasonable person would think of using Wang Dong'er as a bargaining chip in negotiations with that god. Or does Xu Xingyu believe that the other party wouldn't trade for Wang Dong'er as a pawn, but simply treats her as a tool, thus making any kind of transaction only an opportunity for the other party to undermine Xu Xingyu?

Or was it simply that Xu Xingyu was acting out of kindness and didn't want to use Wang Dong'er as a pawn, which is why she accepted her?

Whatever the reason, it seems that Xu Xingyu to accept Wang Dong'er as her fiancé is still very risky! What surprised them even more was that Wang Dong'er actually brought it up herself.

Aren't these two people placing a bit too much trust in me? It seems like usually, this kind of information is best kept to myself forever, or explained to them only after everything is over, rather than now.

Just Xu Xingyu's voice rang out again. "I know what I just said might be a bit shocking, but I can tell you that what Dong'er and I said are all true, not just wishful thinking."

"I know that letting you know these things at this stage might put a lot of pressure on you, but we've been keeping it from you for so long, and it would be a shame. Of course, if you want to know more details, I think you should focus on your training first."
