Douluo Continent: Pioneers of the Era, Gods in Parallel

Chapter 81: Guessing the Truth

"Has the Spirit Hall ever wronged you?"

Qian Renxue originally wanted to verify her absurd guess, but she knew that no matter how she asked, Bibi Dong would not answer.

Since that's the case, let's test the waters and find evidence from other sources.

After asking this question, Qian Renxue immediately tensed up.

However, she still had to deliberately pretend to be indifferent.

"Don't you find it ridiculous to ask such a question?"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's question, Bibi Dong became tense.

As long as it doesn't involve Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong is quite shrewd.

Based on what Qian Renxue had done over the years, she had a vague idea.

Perhaps Qian Renxue has sensed something, guessed something.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's feelings were very complicated.

She hoped that Qian Renxue would know the whole truth. If Qian Renxue expressed a stance of sharing the same hatred as her, the relationship between the mother and daughter might be able to ease.

Does Bibi Dong truly have no feelings for her daughter?

It might not have been there at the beginning.

He even wanted to hurt her.

Her existence is a disgrace to me, a nightmare I can never forget.

The problem is that every time he hurt her, Bibi Dong would feel guilty and remorseful when she was alone.

Why was she so kind to Hu Liena?

On the one hand, it's because Hu Liena does resemble her in some ways, which makes her want to cultivate another version of herself.

On the other hand, it is a place to entrust one's emotions.

She channeled the feelings she had for Qian Renxue into Hu Liena.

The better he treated Hu Liena, the stronger his feelings for Qian Renxue became.

This is a complicated and perplexing matter.

But she was also afraid that Qian Renxue would find out.

Once Qian Renxue learns about his past and reopens his wounds, it will be even more impossible for them to get along.

There is even a possibility of two extremes: either Qian Renxue will completely side with her, or Qian Renxue will completely break ties with her.

This is not what she wanted to see.

"All you need to answer is whether the Spirit Hall has ever wronged you. As for anything else, I don't want to know."

Qian Renxue stared intently at Bibi Dong, trying to discern something from her expression.

Trying to find the answer.

Bibi Dong remained silent.

She was deep in thought, pondering.

The enhancement of her mental strength has enabled her to maintain sufficient clarity to a large extent when resisting the erosion of the Rakshasa's divine will. As a result, she has not yet completely fallen into paranoia and madness.

Think back to how the Spirit Hall treated you.

Putting Qian Xunji aside, she had to admit that the Spirit Hall had never let her down.

But when she thought about what happened in that secret room, and when she thought about how she and Yu Xiaogang were separated because of Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong was filled with resentment.

The existence of Chihiro is simply unavoidable.

He is the Pope of the Spirit Hall and the legitimate successor of the Angel lineage.

However, Qian Xunji is not the Pope of the Spirit Hall, but only one of its elders or enshrined figures. At present, Bibi Dong is still relatively rational, and she will not push all the problems onto the entire Spirit Hall.

"I don't want to answer that question. You can give me the fairy herb or not, it's up to you."

After saying those words, Bibi Dong turned and left.

This matter has touched upon a deeper pain within me.

She was unwilling to talk about it.

"I understand. You can have them go and collect the immortal herbs too."

Watching Bibi Dong's departing figure, a dim expression appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes.

She has gotten the answer she wanted.

Over the years, although no one was willing to tell her what exactly happened back then, she confirmed some things through her own investigation.

It's missing the most crucial link.

The question just asked has confirmed his suspicions.

Since Bibi Dong joined the Spirit Hall, the entire Spirit Hall has never wronged her.

The fact that it could evoke such resentment and hostility in them must be due to that hidden story.

Although the matter was suppressed, it still caused quite a stir at the time. If you investigate carefully, it's not difficult to get the answer you want.

What circumstances would make a woman hate the family that raised her so much? What would make a mother hate her daughter so much that she would want to erase her, kill her, or even worse, have her disappear from the world?

As a woman herself, Qian Renxue may have already gotten the answer she wanted.

It was precisely because she got the answer she wanted that Qian Renxue couldn't accept it.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is—"

For a fleeting moment, Qian Renxue felt as if she shouldn't exist.

Her very existence was a painful torment for her mother.

"What should I do?!"

Qian Renxue was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

If she hadn't experienced so much over the years, witnessing things even darker than this, she might have gone insane on the spot.

During the process of eliminating and annihilating those Douluo Soul Masters, no matter what happened, she was ultimately just an observer.

It's impossible to truly empathize.

Now, the same thing is happening to me.

That was the first time she had ever known what unbearable pain truly meant.

This time, she did not seek answers or comfort from her grandfather or the various deities.

Instead, he left the Spirit Hall alone.

Before leaving, she left two letters.

One of the letters was for his grandfather, and the other was for Bibi Dong.

The letter she left for her grandfather was simple: she wanted to find an answer, a solution, and a way to put her mind at ease.

The letter left for Bibi Dong was also very simple.

"The immortal herbs are ready. You can go find them anytime. Don't forget, you owe me an experience of hunting souls with you."

Leaving these things behind, Qian Renxue left the Spirit Hall.

She embarked on her journey, her first solo trip.

She needs to find a solution among the masses, among other people.

Because Qian Renxue left so suddenly, even the elders of the Spirit Hall didn't notice.

Although Qian Renxue's cultivation level is not yet at the Soul Douluo level, her combat power is already comparable to that of a Title Douluo. Coupled with the speed of her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, it would be impossible for Qian Daoliu to detect her departure unless he keeps a close eye on her at all times.

"If you were in this situation, how would you resolve it?"

Walking between heaven and earth, Qian Renxue subconsciously looked up at the curtain of light in the sky.

She hoped that Zhou Yuan could respond and help her resolve her doubts.

The curtain of light in the sky remained unchanged, offering no special treatment to anyone.
