Chapter 74: Huge Gossip! Qian Renxue is actually Bibi Dong's daughter!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Qian Renxue's heart burned with rage, yet it was mixed with a trace of indescribable panic.
"If Lin Yuan reveals this secret of mine, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will definitely strike back at all costs, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will defect immediately."
"Then my ten-plus years of undercover work, ten-plus years of enduring humiliation, will all have been for nothing!"
The dual pressure of facing "social death" and the "collapse of her plan" made this usually calm Young Lord lose her composure for a moment.
But soon, Qian Renxue forced herself to calm down.
"Calm down, Qian Renxue, you must stay calm!"
"This is just a diary!"
"Since Lin Yuan chose to write this in his diary instead of announcing it to the world, it means there's still room for maneuver."
Her eyes gradually regained their clarity as she began to rapidly analyze the pros and cons:
"According to the System's rules, only those who possess a diary instance can see this content."
"In other words, the only ones who know my identity right now are those few women in the group."
"As long as Lin Yuan doesn't expose me in public, I still have a chance!"
But immediately after, Qian Renxue thought of a problem that gave her an even bigger headache.
"Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the others all have diaries too..."
"They'll probably all know my true identity in a moment."
"Tsk... what a nuisance!"
Qian Renxue rubbed her brow irritably.
In the past, if anyone dared to pry into her secrets, she would have simply killed them!
But now?
These people are all owners of diary instances, protected by those mysterious rules.
Let alone doing it herself, even if she sent Porcupinefish Douluo or Snake Lance Douluo to assassinate them, the System would judge her as the instigator and hand down a punishment.
It might even directly obliterate her!
"I can't hit them, and I can't kill them."
"Must I just watch helplessly as they make fun of me in the group?"
Qian Renxue felt a deep sense of powerlessness... and at this moment.
Inside the luxury carriage heading toward Heaven Dou City.
Xiao Wu was lying on a soft animal-skin rug, holding a plate of sliced fruit, her eyes fixed intently on the diary instance in her mind.
The long journey had been boring her, and she had been feeling drowsy.
But with this entry from Lin Yuan, she was instantly wide awake!
"Wow!"
"This is way too explosive!"
Xiao Wu popped a grape into her mouth, her cheeks bulging as her eyes sparkled with the light of gossip.
"The Crown Prince is actually a woman?"
"And she's even from Spirit Hall?"
"Is this gossip legit? It's huge!"
Xiao Wu stole a glance at Lin Yuan, who was leaning against the soft couch writing in his diary, and felt a secret sense of admiration.
Her brother really wouldn't stop until he shocked everyone to death.
[As for Qian Renxue's identity, you could actually guess it just by looking at her surname.]
[Qian. On this Douluo Continent, who else would dare have the surname Qian besides the Family that inherited the Angel Spirit?]
[And for someone to make Spirit Hall pay such a massive price, even using the Spirit Bone skill of the Angel God Raiment for a disguise, to be sent to the Heaven Dou Empire for a "nation-stealing" mission...]
[...they must be a core direct descendant of the Qian Family, with a status beyond compare!]
[And she, Qian Renxue, is the biological granddaughter of the current Spirit Hall High Priest, the Rank 99 super Douluo Qian Daoliu!]
[At the same time, she is also the biological daughter of the previous Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, who was beaten half to death by Tang Hao and eventually died under mysterious circumstances!]
Writing to this point, a playful curve tugged at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.
[With such an illustrious Family background and being a peerless Genius with Rank 20 Innate Full Spirit Power...]
[By all rights, she should have been a little princess growing up surrounded by boundless love.]
[But unfortunately, every Family has its own skeletons in the closet.]
[Her childhood was actually much more tragic than Tang San's.]
[Because her biological mother was no unknown nobody.]
[But rather the current Spirit Hall's high and mighty, iron-blooded and cold Supreme Pontiff, Her Holiness Bibi Dong!]
Boom!!!
As the three words "Bibi Dong" were written down...
The entire "Anonymous Diary Chat Group" completely exploded!
If revealing that "Xue Qinghe is a woman" was merely shocking...
...then revealing that "Bibi Dong is Qian Renxue's biological mother" was absolutely terrifying!
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl:???!!!]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Bibi Dong is Qian Renxue's mom? Didn't it say before that Bibi Dong's first love was Yu Xiaogang?]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Doesn't that mean the current Supreme Pontiff and the previous one were a couple? And they have such a grown-up daughter?]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: But wasn't it rumored that Bibi Dong was Qian Xunji's disciple? And Lin Yuan said before that Qian Xunji broke up the lovers, so his relationship with Bibi Dong should have been bad, right?]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Heavens! These Spirit Hall secrets are way too exciting!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Wait! Since they're biological mother and daughter, why did Qian Renxue go undercover? Shouldn't she have stayed in Spirit Hall as the Holy Maiden?]
[Irritable Pig Farmer (Liu Erlong): There's definitely some huge gossip here!]
[Irritable Pig Farmer: @Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong! Stop playing dead and come out to explain!]
[Irritable Pig Farmer: Who would've thought you actually had a child with Qian Xunji back then? Tsk tsk tsk, you really hid it well!]
[Irritable Pig Farmer: If I tell Xiaogang about this, won't you just explode? Hahaha!]
...Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
*Crack!*
Bibi Dong's scepter slammed heavily onto the floor, and the hard ground cracked instantly.
Her exquisite face was now covered in frost, even appearing somewhat distorted.
In those wine-red eyes, killing intent surged as if it were physical.
"Lin Yuan... you truly deserve to die!!"
This was the deepest pain in her heart, her darkest scar!
That secret room, that teacher who was worse than a beast, that memory that made her want to vomit from disgust... now, Lin Yuan had just nakedly torn open a corner of it, exposing it to everyone!
She had never wanted anyone to know that she had such a daughter with that animal!
Although Lin Yuan hadn't yet mentioned the specific "secret room plot," just making her and Qian Renxue's mother-daughter relationship public was already touching her sore spot!
However, what made her break down even more was yet to come.
In the chat group, that quirky Ning Rongrong suddenly seemed possessed by Sherlock Holmes and began a wave of god-tier reasoning.
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Sisters! I've suddenly discovered a blind spot!]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Everyone, think about it carefully. Those who can enter this group are all people who possess a diary instance.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: And the people Lin Yuan has mentioned in his diary are basically all in this group.]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Now that Qian Renxue's identity has been exposed, one of the people in the group must be her!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Oh, right! Who could it be?]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Humph, there is only one truth!]
