Chrysanthemum Douluo unconsciously took a few steps back, head bowed, not daring to look directly at Bibi Dong, his heart filled with fear and unease.
This was the first time he had seen such a terrifying Bibi Dong.
Previously, Bibi Dong was merely tyrannical, but now she possessed a touch of madness.
"Qian Renshang… is that the missing young master so important to His Holiness the Pope?
Wasn't it said that His Holiness the Pope disliked that child?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was filled with doubt.
As one of the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, he naturally knew some of the Spirit Hall's secrets.
For example, the current Pope Bibi Dong and the previous Pope Qian Xunji had an unusual relationship, and Qian Xunji once had two children... but later only had one child, and there were rumors that Bibi Dong forced that child away.
This time, Qian Renxue's sudden return, and the great commotion in the Heaven Dou Empire, allowed Chrysanthemum Douluo to easily discover this astonishing news.
That former child, Qian Renshang, is still alive, and unexpectedly powerful; even Qian Renxue is no match for him, and even a nine-ring Title Douluo couldn't defeat him immediately!
That's why Chrysanthemum Douluo came to report immediately.
"Yue Guan... you did a good job.
Next time, you must tell me about that child immediately."
After her maniacal laughter, Bibi Dong finally calmed down, turned to look at Chrysanthemum Douluo with a cold and terrifying expression.
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed his head in acknowledgment, but when he looked up, Bibi Dong was gone!
The throne was silent!
...
Qian Renshang isn't dead, that child isn't dead...That's wonderful, wonderful!"
Leaving the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong once again couldn't contain her excitement and shouted wildly.
For so many years, Qian Renshang had practically become her inner demon.
How much she had once wished for his death, how much she had wanted him alive after his departure!
Human emotions are complex...no one can truly understand them.
In any case, Bibi Dong now desperately wanted to know Qian Renshang's situation, and she knew her target.
That was Qian Renxue!
Bibi Dong arrived at the Hall of Worship almost instantly, her speed like a ghost.
Qian Jun Douluo and Jiang Mo Douluo sensed Bibi Dong's presence and appeared almost simultaneously.
"Your Holiness, what brings you to the Hall of Worship today?"
"My elder brother isn't here today!"
Qian Jun Douluo assumed Bibi Dong was looking for Qian Daoliu, since she rarely came to the Hall of Worship for no reason.
"Has that old bastard Qian Daoliu finally decided to leave the Hall of Worship?"
Bibi Dong sneered, but didn't dwell on it, directly stating her purpose.
"Has Xiaoxue recently returned to the Hall of Worship?
I've come to see her." "
Looking for Xiaoxue?"
Qian Jun Douluo frowned slightly.
When did this woman start caring about Qian Renxue?
In previous years, wasn't it always Qian Renxue eagerly seeking her out?
Although puzzled, Qian Jun Douluo didn't refuse Bibi Dong's request; after all, they were mother and daughter.
A short while later…
A short while later, Qian Renxue slowly emerged from the hall.
She was graceful and exquisitely beautiful, wearing a long golden dress with her long golden hair cascading down her sides, looking stunning.
However, her pale complexion gave her a somewhat melancholic air.
But knowing that Bibi Dong had actually come to find her, Qian Renxue was overjoyed.
"Mother! Did you need something?"
Qian Renxue forced herself to suppress her joy and asked calmly.
"Come with me!"
Bibi Dong led Qian Renxue into a side hall.
Once they were alone, Bibi Dong immediately asked anxiously,
"Did you see your younger brother, Qian Renshang?
What's his condition?
What does he look like… tall? thin?"
"And… did he mention me?"
Bibi Dong bombarded Qian Renxue with questions, leaving her completely bewildered.
Her pupils widened, her hands clenched tightly… desperately trying to hold back her tears.
"Mom...you...you came to see me just to ask about Qian Renshang?"
She didn't expect Bibi Dong to be concerned about Qian Renshang right away, and she was really a little overwhelmed.
"What else?"
Bibi Dong answered matter-of-factly, then asked,
"Quickly, tell me, how is that child?"
Bibi Dong was really eager to know Qian Renshang's current situation.
"I...I don't know! If you want to know, go ask him yourself!"
Qian Renxue said angrily, and Bibi Dong frowned and raised her voice as well.
"Qian Renxue...what do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything, I want to ask you...what do you mean?
I've been back for days, and you're only coming to see me now."
Qian Renxue roared,
"The first thing you ask about Qian Renshang as soon as you come over...you only care about him!!
From childhood to adulthood, it's always been...what about me?"
"Why don't you care about me? I've been in the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years just to prove myself to you."
"Now everything has been ruined by that bastard..."
Qian Renxue really broke down. Before, Qian Daoliu was also very concerned when he heard about Qian Renshang, and now Bibi Dong was the same, without asking her how she was doing or if she was injured!
Qian Renshang! Qian Renshang!
They only know Qian Renshang!
Qian Renxue was so excited she was almost going crazy!
Bibi Dong's face turned ugly after being rebuked by Qian Renxue, as if she had been hit where it hurt!
Thinking that Qian Renxue could still help her career, she barely suppressed her anger and said softly,
"Mom is also concerned about you... but Qian Renshang is your brother after all.
He has been missing for so long.
Isn't it normal for Mom to worry about him first?"
"Heh... stop pretending!"
Qian Renxue sneered directly,
"You were the one who drove him away in the first place.
What are you pretending to be affectionate for now?
Have you forgotten how you treated him back then?"
"Don't worry... this time he hasn't mentioned you once in front of me.
He's too lazy to even hate you anymore..."
Qian Renxue said with a bitter smile.
"Actually, I can tell he's too lazy to hate me anymore.
I'm nothing to him..."
"I've been jealous of him my whole life, only to find out he doesn't seem to care about such things at all.
I don't even know what I was jealous of... Hahaha..."
Qian Renxue was both crying and laughing.
Bibi Dong's attitude chilled her to the bone.
She had finally seen through Bibi Dong's true colors!
This woman didn't have a place for him in her eyes at all.
Her love was all a facade...
*Slap!
* Bibi Dong slapped her across the face, sending Qian Renxue staggering back several steps, but Qian Renxue still stubbornly stared at her.
"What's wrong? Did I hit a nerve?...
Bibi Dong, you've always been a hypocrite! Stop pretending, you don't love me at all, and you don't love Qian Renshang either!!"
"I find it disgusting!!"
Qian Renxue had completely given up.
The emotions she had accumulated for over twenty years finally exploded today!!
