Chapter 78: Qian Renxue: The Heaven Dou Palace Coup Failed?
This time, Liu Erlong felt no fear, only a deep, indescribable, and complex emotion.
She had always regarded Bibi Dong as a love rival, a wicked woman who had stolen Xiaogang's heart.
But now, the truth turned out to be so cruel?
If she put herself in her shoes—if she had encountered such a thing—would she still have the courage to live on?
"No wonder, no wonder she said those things just now..."
Liu Erlong suddenly felt that her previous remark about being a "ruined woman" was indeed too hurtful; it was like stabbing someone right in the heart.
[Sea Gods Spokesperson: Qian Daoliu's son is truly a piece of trash. He has completely disgraced the Angel Clan.]
Posey sighed.
In her youth, she was as famous as Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, so she had naturally met Qian Xunji.
How could a junior who appeared so dignified and upright commit such a beastly act?
...And at this moment, the one with the most intense reaction to the contents of this diary was none other than the person involved, Qian Renxue!
Inside the Crown Princes Mansion study.
Qian Renxue slumped in her chair, her eyes vacant and her face as pale as a sheet of paper.
"No... this is impossible..."
"This isn't true..."
She had always thought that Bibi Dong didn't like her for some other reason, or perhaps because she was a power-hungry woman who would sacrifice family for the position of Supreme Pontiff.
She had always thought that her grandfather sent her to the Heaven Dou Empire because he trusted her abilities, to train her, to let her build a career and prove herself to Bibi Dong.
But now, Lin Yuan's diary had ruthlessly shattered all her illusions!
"So, I'm a bastard spawn?"
"So I'm the daughter of a rapist?"
"So Bibi Dong's hatred for me isn't because I'm not good enough, but simply because... my very existence is a mistake?"
Qian Renxue felt her World-view collapsing.
All her years of hard work, all her years of endurance, all her years of wanting to prove herself, in this moment, had all become a joke!
In fact, regarding such things, having gone undercover in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family for so many years, she had heard and seen quite a lot.
For example, Xue Beng had forced himself upon many women.
And some of the ministers below him certainly had as well.
This kind of thing could happen in any faction, but not in her Qian family!
The Qian family inherited the holy Seraphim Spirit; how could such a forced act be associated with an angel!
She never imagined that her own father would do such a thing!
He was Bibi Dong's teacher and the Supreme Pontiff, possessing supreme power. He could have any woman he wanted, so why did he do this!
Moreover, it is forbidden between a teacher and a Disciple!
In Qian Renxue's current view, a teacher is a teacher and a Disciple is a Disciple; the two should not have any other boundary-crossing relationship.
This is something that would be condemned by the World.
[I Really Dont Have A Preference For Men: @Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong, tell me, this isn't true!]
[I Really Dont Have A Preference For Men: Father... he was the Supreme Pontiff! A descendant of the Angel Clan! How could he possibly do such a thing!]
However, Bibi Dong did not reply.
To Qian Renxue, this silence was an admission.
At this moment, Lin Yuan's diary continued.
[Of course, with Qian Daoliu around, Bibi Dong certainly had no chance to kill Qian Renxue.]
[After all, Qian Renxue inherited the most perfect Angel Spirit and an Innate Full Spirit Power of Rank 20. She is the hope in Qian Daoliu's eyes and the successor of the Angel God.]
[He values Qian Renxue more than his own life.]
[But because of this, I find his actions back then even more incomprehensible.]
[Why did he insist on sending the nine-year-old Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out this so-called "near-certain death" undercover plan?]
[The reason was most likely to protect her.]
[After all, Qian Xunji had just died, and Bibi Dong had just taken power. Her mental state was extremely unstable, even psychotic.]
[If Qian Renxue had stayed in the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu feared that Bibi Dong might one day snap and actually strangle this "bastard spawn" to death.]
[So, sending her to the Heaven Dou Empire, while dangerous, was a way to keep her away from the powder keg that was Bibi Dong.]
Seeing this, Qian Renxue felt a little better.
At least, her grandfather loved her.
He regarded her as a treasure.
[The intention was good—to protect his granddaughter.]
[But! Qian Daoliu's arrangement for her "protectors" was simply beyond ridiculous!]
[Since Qian Renxue is the apple of your eye and the future Angel God.]
[Then why were the only ones accompanying her to the Heaven Dou Empire to protect her and assist in her usurpation Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo?]
[What level are these two?]
[Ordinary Titled Douluo around Rank 92!]
[Although Porcupinefish can counter poison and Snake Lance's Tool Spirit is decent.]
[In the circle of Titled Douluo, they are definitely at the bottom tier!]
[Is the Spirit Hall short on experts?]
[Obviously not!]
[In the Hall of Worship, besides Qian Daoliu, there are six other Priests! All of them are Super Douluo of Rank 96 or above!]
[Gold Crocodile Douluo is Rank 98! The brothers Jiangmo and Qianjun together can take on a Rank 97! Even Guibao and Moxiong from the Elder Palace are Rank 95!]
[Why weren't these people sent?]
[Did Qian Daoliu think that two Rank 92 Titled Douluo were enough to act with impunity in the Heaven Dou Imperial City?]
[Was it confidence? Or arrogance?]
[In the future timeline of the original work, on the day of the Heaven Dou Palace Coup.]
[This lineup indirectly caused the originally perfect Plan to Steal the Nation to fall through at the final moment!]
Qian Renxue looked at the diary, her brow furrowed.
True... she hadn't seen any problem before, as the two uncles were loyal to her.
But now that Lin Yuan mentioned it, it did seem a bit shabby.
If Grandpa Gold Crocodile, or Grandpas Jiangmo and Qianjun were by her side... who in the Heaven Dou Empire could stop her?
Even if her identity were discovered by Chen Xin or Gu Rong in the future, she wouldn't need to be so cautious.
[In that future final battle, Qian Renxue had already taken control of the situation and even surrounded the imperial palace.]
[The lineup opposing her at the time wasn't actually that strong: the Golden Triangle, Dugu Bo, and a Tang San whose Rank was even lower than hers, along with his friends.]
[At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had just been heavily damaged by the Spirit Hall, and the Sword and Bone Douluo couldn't come at all.]
[In other words, this should have been a slaughter!]
[If the ones standing by Qian Renxue's side hadn't been Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, but a Super Douluo of Rank 95 or above.]
[Even just one!]
[Tang San would have been turned to ash long ago! Dugu Bo's bit of poison would be a joke, completely countered by Porcupinefish Douluo.]
[The outcome might have been completely different; she might have long since succeeded in her usurpation, ascended the throne as emperor, and taken the Heaven Dou Empire without shedding a drop of blood.]
