"Xiaoxue just hasn't seen Grandpa in a long time." Qian Renxue walked up to Qian Daoliu, who looked at the beautiful Qian Renxue in front of him, his eyes full of affection.
"Haha, Xiaoxue has grown up, she's gotten taller. But you can't fool Grandpa, you know. I raised you since you were little. Tell me, what happened?"
With her thoughts exposed by Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue's eyes gradually became downcast, as if she was avoiding something.
She was afraid that if she knew the truth of what happened back then, she wouldn't be able to accept it, yet she desperately wanted to know the truth.
Finally, she made up her mind and asked, "Grandpa, I want to know the truth about what happened back then, about Bibi Dong and my father!"
"..."
Qian Daoliu fell silent.
This reaction, of course, was noticed by Qian Renxue. In an instant, it was as if she already had the answer in her heart, but she still hoped that Qian Daoliu could tell her a different outcome.
"Xiaoxue, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Qian Daoliu asked, puzzled. Could it be that woman Bibi Dong released the information?
Otherwise, who else would know the truth of what happened back then?
"No... it doesn't seem like something she would do. So how did Xiaoxue know?" Qian Daoliu murmured to himself.
"Grandpa, I've grown up. I can bear all the harm that the truth of the past might bring me. Please tell me." Qian Renxue stared intently at Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu sighed, "Grandpa didn't not want to tell you the truth of what happened back then. Since you've already discovered the clues yourself, trying to hide it from you now, I imagine you wouldn't let it go easily."
"I know your temperament best, girl."
"However, you need to promise Grandpa that no matter what the truth is, don't let it affect your inner self."
Qian Renxue nodded, "I understand, Grandpa."
... [Forget it, if you ask me, Bibi Dong was too overconfident and missed many opportunities. She might as well go directly to the Sunset Forest, beat Dugu Bo up, make him join Spirit Hall, and while she's at it, get her hands on his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.]
[That way, the Shrek Seven Devils would be mostly crippled. Even if she can't directly kill Tang San, it would make that kid's path to becoming stronger much harder. While she's at it, she could go and kill Tang Hao. A severely injured ninety-sixth-level Titled Douluo, I don't believe Bibi Dong can't kill him.]
[Logically speaking, Bibi Dong's current strength should be close to ninety-ninth level by now, but she just doesn't dare to use Rakshasa God Power freely. I say, why bother, big sister? What are you afraid of Qian Daoliu for? You're afraid of him, and he's equally afraid of you. He doesn't know your current strength, so how would he dare to fight you to the death?]
[If something went wrong, and it ruined Qian Renxue's path to godhood, wouldn't that just be pure entertainment?!]
As soon as these words came out, Bibi Dong's face was covered in black lines.
"This kid..."
Bibi Dong was a bit helpless. Although she knew Chu Bai was complaining about her like this, she couldn't refute him, nor could she directly ask Chu Bai about it face-to-face, which was the most difficult thing for her.
"But what he said is indeed correct. Tang San... it seems necessary to investigate this person."
[Sigh, tomorrow I'll ask Bibi Dong for permission to go to Heaven Dou Empire for a look. Now that I am the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, I can thrive anywhere.]
[Alright, that's enough complaining for now. My buddy feels incredibly refreshed. Someday, I'll have to try complaining to someone's face. When I go, I'll see what abilities this so-called Tang San possesses, and while I'm at it, give Yu Xiaogang a few slaps.]
... [Host has completed the diary copy creation. Complaining lethality: Low. Reward: diary copy opens the third complaining target.]
Chu Bai heard this. Although the complaining lethality this time was not as high as last time, it opened up a third complaining target, which was quite interesting. After a moment of thought, Chu Bai still locked the complaining target onto Xiao Wu.
"While you two haven't reached the point of life and death, I'll directly turn Xiao Wu against him. I'd like to see what you, Tang San, can do." Chu Bai said with a smile... "This... is the truth of what happened back then, Xiaoxue. Don't blame Bibi Dong. It's normal for her not to be overly fond of you, but ultimately, she is still your mother. That matter was indeed your father's fault."
Qian Daoliu sighed, then stroked Qian Renxue's head.
Qian Renxue's eyes were already red, and tears streamed down her delicate cheeks. Although she had known part of the truth beforehand, when Qian Daoliu told her in person, she still felt extremely sad.
"So everything Chu Bai said was true..."
Qian Renxue slowly raised her head, her previously turbulent emotions gradually calming down at this moment. She said to Qian Daoliu, "I understand, Grandpa."
"Alas, your father has also paid the price. Xiaoxue, I will not interfere with your decision. If you wish, perhaps you can meet with Bibi Dong. I believe you will have many things to say to each other."
"Blood is thicker than water..."
... "You're going to Heaven Dou Empire?" Bibi Dong asked, feigning surprise.
"Yes, this trip is just for training. I won't be long, and I'll be back. And who knows, I might even give Teacher a big surprise." Chu Bai smiled and nodded.
"Oh? What surprise?"
Bibi Dong was a little curious. Although Chu Bai could foresee the future, he was currently only a Spirit Elder. Without strength, it would be difficult to do anything.
"That's a secret, of course." Chu Bai shrugged.
"Alright, staying in Spirit City all the time indeed won't allow you to grow well. I will have Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Ghost accompany you. Of course, they will only appear when you need help." Bibi Dong nodded.
"Huh?"
Chu Bai was stunned.
This was an unexpected gain. With two Titled Douluo, he was no longer afraid of Tang Hao.
Unless Tang Hao fought to the death, even the current Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo would be able to contend with him.
However, perhaps in the middle of the fight, Tang Hao's old injuries would relapse, and his Spirit would return to the heavens~
"In that case, thank you, Teacher. Hehehe." Chu Bai said with a smile.
After Chu Bai left, Bibi Dong said to the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, in front of her, "On this trip, you must ensure the Saint's safety. In addition, investigate a person named Tang San for me."
"Tang San... Your Majesty, this person is..." Chrysanthemum Douluo asked tentatively.
"If I'm not mistaken, he is Tang Hao's son." Bibi Dong said. Ghost Douluo's expression changed, "He's Tang Hao's son?! Then can we just kill that kid?!"
"No, your task is only to investigate his information. As for taking action, it's not the time yet. As for Tang Hao, I will personally deal with him one day." Bibi Dong said.
