"Grandpa didn't explain the specific reasons to me. He only said that father truly wronged that woman back then. Grandpa told me not to blame her, saying that woman always loved me!"
Qian Renxue's expression gradually turned somewhat ferocious. "How could that woman love me! From childhood to adulthood, I've never seen her smile at me. Her attitude towards me was even worse than towards her disciple. I've been in the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years; has she ever worried about me in the slightest? She would love me?"
Her voice was hoarse, and by the end, it trembled with emotion.
"Calm down." Shi Quan's gentle mental force spread out, soothing Qian Renxue's complex mental fluctuations, which were agitated by her excitement.
Under Shi Quan's calming influence, Qian Renxue gradually settled down and whispered, "I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself."
"There's no need to be so formal," Shi Quan calmly asked, "Have you continued to investigate the specific reasons in depth?"
"Investigate?" Qian Renxue smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Besides Bibi Dong and Grandpa, there are no other clues about what happened back then. Even if there were insiders, Grandpa kept them silent, so I couldn't find any related information."
Shi Quan was silent for a moment before saying, "I can help you investigate this matter."
Although Shi Quan knew the ins and outs of the matter, the problem was that he had no evidence. Relying solely on his words might be counterproductive and could even lead Qian Renxue to suspect his motives.
Investigating was a good starting point. If he could ease the relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, it would not only win Qian Renxue's favor but also draw Bibi Dong closer.
"Investigate?" Qian Renxue seemed a little lost. "Investigate why that woman killed my father?"
"Yes," Shi Quan nodded slightly. "I think your Grandpa wouldn't lie to you. He said Bibi Dong loves you, so he must have a basis for it. As for why Bibi Dong expresses herself as if she doesn't love you despite loving you, there must be some reason. If we investigate it thoroughly, won't all problems become simple?"
"You're right!" Qian Renxue's eyes regained their luster. "I don't believe that woman loves me. Grandpa knew that woman killed father, so why did he let her become the Supreme Pontiff! I must know what happened back then!"
"Very few people know about this matter; it's an absolute secret of Spirit Hall. Can you truly find out?" Qian Renxue looked at Shi Quan seriously.
"I naturally have my own methods," Shi Quan smiled mysteriously. "Actually, after you told me about this, it made me think of some things. However, whether there's a definite connection, I still need to investigate further. It can be considered a clue."
"Really?" Qian Renxue looked surprised. She had investigated before, but always returned empty-handed. She had only just told Shi Quan, and he already had a clue?
"Yes, you should remember Yu Xiaogang, right?"
"Tang San's teacher?" Qian Renxue frowned, unsure of the connection between the two.
"During the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, I noticed that Bibi Dong seemed to subtly favor and protect this Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang was once a member of Spirit Hall, and his 'Ten Core Competencies of Spirits' was compiled based on the ancient texts in Spirit Hall. With his talent, he shouldn't have been qualified to freely read the ancient texts in Spirit Hall, right?"
"You mean, Yu Xiaogang accessed Spirit Hall's ancient texts through that woman's connections?"
"Exactly. Judging by Bibi Dong's current attitude towards Yu Xiaogang, their relationship must have been quite good back then. So, I think we can start with Yu Xiaogang. Perhaps he knows some things that happened back then."
"This counts as a clue?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly.
Shi Quan smiled, "For past events, you can only look for people from the past. This Yu Xiaogang is currently the most convenient target for investigation. Let's investigate him first. If we don't find any useful clues, then we'll proceed step by step. We'll find it eventually."
"Most convenient?"
"He's at Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City."
"Blue Tyrant Academy?" Qian Renxue thought of something. "Golden Triangle, Liu Erlong?"
Shi Quan snapped his fingers, "Exactly!"
"If you don't get effective information from Yu Xiaogang, what direction do you plan to take?"
"If I can't find anything, then I'll have to make a trip to Spirit City." Shi Quan waved his hand, secretly chuckling to himself, "How could I not find anything? Yu Xiaogang is at least half responsible for what happened back then."
He had never understood why Bibi Dong, such a Genius, would fall for Yu Xiaogang, that Trash.
Taking advantage of this investigation opportunity, he could observe closely.
After settling things with Qian Renxue, Shi Quan left the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, his figure turning ethereal as he arrived outside Blue Tyrant Academy.
His powerful mental force directly enveloped Blue Tyrant Academy. Due to the absolute disparity in mental force, no one in the entire Blue Tyrant Academy could detect Shi Quan's mental force.
Locking onto Yu Xiaogang's figure, Shi Quan flashed and arrived in a forest within Blue Tyrant Academy.
Just as Dugu Bo had observed before, the current Yu Xiaogang was like a dazed puppet, staring blankly at the sky with empty eyes. Liu Erlong was beside Yu Xiaogang, and perhaps due to taking care of Yu Xiaogang over the past few years, her pretty face inevitably showed a hint of fatigue.
"Sleep!" Shi Quan murmured softly, an invisible mental force enveloping the two.
In less than a quarter of an hour, both fell into a deep slumber.
"I want to see why Bibi Dong's eyes were so blind."
Shi Quan's figure slowly descended, his consciousness directly entering Yu Xiaogang's dream.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Bibi Dong was actually like this when she was young. It's hard to imagine connecting her with the noble Supreme Pontiff she is now."
The young Bibi Dong was like a blossoming flower, pure and exquisitely beautiful. Her youthful face, unlike her current lofty demeanor, radiated a vibrant youthful aura, and her brows revealed an unpolished natural beauty, like the first ray of morning sunlight, warm and dazzling.
"What a wave of refreshing novel tropes and youthful angst literature."
Watching their acquaintance and past, Shi Quan couldn't help but applaud.
Bibi Dong, with her Innate full spirit power and twin spirits, was taken as a disciple by the Supreme Pontiff upon her Martial Spirit Awakening—a textbook script of a privileged Family's favored daughter.
Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, played the role of a Trash from a large Family, despised by them, yet relying on his so-called unyielding Martial Spirit, defiance of fate, and unyielding fighting Martial Spirit to constantly strive and struggle.
Bibi Dong, who had been pampered and respectfully flattered since childhood, encountered Yu Xiaogang for the first time—a person as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, who paid her no mind, and sought to defy fate through his own Heaven-Defying efforts. She was immediately struck by his extraordinary nature, and he instantly became her White Moonlight.
It completely stacked all the buffs from cliché web novels of previous lives.
