"Xiao Xue just felt like she hadn't seen Grandpa in a long time." Qian Renxue walked in front of Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu looked at the beautiful Qian Renxue before him, his eyes filled with love.
"Hehe, Xiao Xue has grown up, she's gotten taller. But you can't fool Grandpa, you know? Grandpa raised you since you were a child. Tell me, what happened?"
Qian Renxue's eyes gradually became despondent as Qian Daoliu saw through her thoughts, as if she was avoiding something.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept the truth if she knew what happened back then, yet she desperately wanted to know.
Finally, she made up her mind and asked, "Grandpa, I want to know the truth of what happened back then, about Bibi Dong, and about my father!"
"..."
Qian Daoliu fell silent.
Naturally, Qian Renxue saw this reaction. In an instant, it was as if she already knew the answer, but she still hoped Qian Daoliu would give her a different outcome.
"Xue'er, why did you suddenly think to ask about this?" Qian Daoliu wondered. Could it be that Bibi Dong had leaked the information? Otherwise, who else would know the truth of that year?
"That doesn't seem like something she would do. So how did Xue'er find out?" Qian Daoliu thought to himself.
"Grandpa, I've grown up. I can bear any damage the truth of that year might bring. Please tell me," Qian Renxue said, staring fixedly at Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu sighed. "It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth of that year. Since you've already discovered something, I know you won't let it go if I keep hiding it from you."
"I understand your character the best, you know."
"However, you need to promise me, no matter what the truth is, don't let it affect your heart."
Qian Renxue nodded, "I understand, Grandpa."
[Forget it. As I see it, Bibi Dong missed many opportunities because she was too arrogant. I'll just go to the Sunset Forest, beat Dugu Bo up, and make him join the Martial Soul Hall. I'll also get my hands on that Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well while I'm at it.]
[That way, the Shrek Seven Devils would be crippled. Even if Tang San couldn't be killed directly, it would make his path to power much harder. Then, go kill Tang Hao. A severely injured Level 96 Title Douluo? I don't believe Bibi Dong can't kill him.]
[Logically, Bibi Dong's strength should be close to Level 99 by now. She just doesn't dare to casually use the Ruocha God Power. I say, why bother, big sis? You're afraid of that Qian Daoliu? He's afraid of you too. He doesn't know your current strength, so how would he dare to fight you to the death?]
[What if something goes wrong and ruins Qian Renxue's path to godhood? Wouldn't that be a complete disaster?!]
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face darkened.
"This kid…"
Bibi Dong was somewhat helpless. Although she knew Chu Bai was just criticizing her, she couldn't refute him, nor could she ask him directly. This was what bothered her the most.
"But what he said is indeed correct. Tang San… it seems necessary to investigate this person."
[Sigh, I'll ask Bibi Dong tomorrow if I can go to the Heaven Dou Empire. As the Martial Soul Hall's Saint Son, I can make a name for myself anywhere.]
[Alright, that's enough ranting for now. I feel incredibly refreshed. I'll have to try the feeling of ranting to someone's face sometime. Let me go see what abilities this so-called Tang San has, and while I'm at it, give Yu Xiaogang a few slaps.]
[Host has completed the creation of the rant diary. Rant damage: Low. The third rant target in the diary copy has been unlocked.]
Hearing this, although the rant's damage wasn't as high as last time, the fact that a third rant target was unlocked was quite interesting. After a moment of thought, Chu Bai locked his target on Xiao Wu. "While you two aren't yet in a life-and-death relationship, I'll make Xiao Wu betray him directly. Let's see what Tang San can do," Chu Bai chuckled.
"This… is the truth of what happened back then. Xiaoxue, don't blame Bibi Dong. It's normal that she doesn't favor you enough. But ultimately, she is your mother. That matter was indeed your father's fault."
Qian Daoliu sighed, then patted Qian Renxue's head.
Qian Renxue's eyes were already red, and tears were sliding down her delicate cheeks. Although she had known part of the truth in advance, when Qian Daoliu told her personally, she still felt extremely sad.
"So, what Chu Bai said was true…"
Qian Renxue slowly raised her head. The emotional fluctuations she'd experienced earlier gradually calmed. She said to Qian Daoliu, "I understand, Grandfather."
"Sigh, your father has paid the price. Xiaoxue, I won't interfere with your decision. If you wish, perhaps you could meet with Bibi Dong. I believe you'd have much to say to each other."
"Blood is thicker than water…"
"You're going to the Heaven Dou Empire?" Bibi Dong asked, feigning surprise.
"Yes, I'm just going to train there for a while. I won't be gone for long, and I might even give Teacher a big surprise." Chu Bai nodded with a smile.
"Oh? What surprise?"
Bibi Dong was a little curious. Although Chu Bai could foresee the future, he was only a Soul Elder at the moment. Without strength, it would be difficult for him to do anything.
"Naturally, it's a secret." Chu Bai shrugged.
"Alright, staying in Martial Soul City wouldn't allow you to grow properly. I'll have Elder Ju and Elder Gui accompany you. Of course, they'll only appear when you need their help," Bibi Dong nodded.
"Uh?"
Chu Bai was taken aback.
This was an unexpected gain. With two Title Douluo, he wasn't afraid of Tang Hao.
Unless Tang Hao went all out, even the current Elder Ju and Elder Gui could contend with him.
However, maybe Tang Hao would have a relapse of his old injuries mid-fight and return to the heavens~
"In that case, thank you, Teacher, hehehe." Chu Bai said with a laugh.
After Chu Bai left, Bibi Dong said to the two Douluo, Elder Ju and Elder Gui, in front of her, "This trip, you must protect the safety of the Holy Son. In addition, investigate a person named Tang San for me."
"Tang San... Your Majesty, this person is..." Elder Ju asked tentatively.
"If I'm not mistaken, he is the son of Tang Hao," Bibi Dong said. Elder Gui's expression changed, "The son of Tang Hao?! Then can we just kill that kid directly!"
"No need. Your only task is to investigate his information. As for taking action, the time isn't right yet. That Tang Hao, I will deal with him myself sooner or later," Bibi Dong said.
