[Lеon: Regarding thе mattеr оf yоu, Bibi Dong, bеing а blind Тitled Douluo, therе's аctuallу a possibility that уоu wеre set uр.]
[Lеon: This саn't bе ехрlainеd in just a fеw words. Lеt's cоntinuе talking аbоut yоu and Yu Xiaogang. Your аffаir bесаmе knоwn tо Qiаn Xunji.]
[Leоn: Thе method Qiаn Хunji аdорted was tо sеpаratе the twо of you. After all, no onе сould tоlerаte thеir genius sucсessor being led astray by a good-for-nothing, especially when that good-for-nothing was the child of a rival family.]
[Leon: As for Yu Xiaogang, he just left. And when he left, he thought it was you, Bibi Dong, who had broken your promise. He even hated you in his heart, never once considering that you had been locked up by Qian Xunji.]
[Leon: Perhaps, Yu Xiaogang knew everything in his heart and chose to leave decisively because he was afraid of dying. What do you all think?]
Pope's Hall.
An expression of agony appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
Xiaogang... he hated me?
But.
He could never have imagined what I went through...
[Little Princess: Um... shouldn't the normal plot be Yu Xiaogang storming into Spirit Hall and causing a huge scene?]
[Yan Yan: Normally, yes. But Yu Xiaogang doesn't seem very normal. Did he really just leave without doing anything?]
[Number Nine: Didn't get the plot I wanted. Bad review.]
[I Am an Orphan: It's obvious! Yu Xiaogang knew everything. You can tell from his decisive departure that he was afraid of dying, and it was precisely because he was afraid of dying that he didn't dare to storm Spirit Hall.]
[Shadow Cat: That explanation is reasonable. I actually encountered a scumbag like that too, who chose to run away because he was afraid of dying.]
[Leon: @Shadow Cat, remember to find me if you have any difficulties.]
[Shadow Cat: Okay.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: ?]
[Little Princess: Is something going on with these two?]
[Yan Yan: What are you two planning to do in broad daylight?]
Leon was delighted at this moment.
According to the timeline.
Zhu Zhuqing should be escaping from the Star Luo Empire soon.
Although Zhu Zhuyun didn't truly want to kill her, it was still a perilous situation. He couldn't miss the chance to be the hero who saves the damsel in distress!
[Leon: Friends, first love is unforgettable! A love-struck brain is deaf to reason! Although Yu Xiaogang ran away, Bibi Dong had already lost her head!]
[Leon: Qian Xunji must have been furious at the time. He had driven away Yu Xiaogang, but this disciple of his was already ruined. What could be done?]
[Leon: In the end... Qian Xunji chose the most extreme method, entering the fray himself to gain a slight edge over fate!]
[Leon: I'll say it again: everyone hates Qian Xunji, but everyone wants to be Qian Xunji.]
(I think this is more referring to sleeping with her and not the forced part; at least to me, that makes more sense.)
Crack!
Crown Prince's Manor.
Qian Renxue was instantly dumbfounded. The small jade mirror in her hand fell to the ground, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.
So... that's how Father got you. So... that's why you resent me so much. So... I should never have come into this world.
Qian Renxue squatted down in pain, hugging her knees as tears dripped like beads, soon soaking the hem of her skirt.
Pain, it was too painful.
Was this the answer she had been seeking all along?
Bibi Dong, if you had known, you should have just killed me. You shouldn't have let me be born!
Pope's Hall.
Bibi Dong closed her eyes in even greater agony. If not for the power emanating from the jade mirror suppressing her evil aura, she would have likely descended into madness by now.
But.
Even so, Bibi Dong was still in immense pain.
That incomparably dark memory had always been a thorn stuck in her chest. Now, that thorn had been pulled out only to be stabbed back in.
Again and again.
It was suffocatingly painful.
"Wait a minute?"
Bibi Dong's eyes snapped open, revealing surprise and anger. A trace of shame even flashed across her face.
Everyone hates Qian Xunji, but everyone wants to be Qian Xunji?
Is that something a human would say?
Is that something a decent person would say?
Bastard!
Do you even hear yourself? You think no one in the group knows you, is that it?
Damn bastard!
There might not be anyone in the group who knows you, but there are... they all know me, Bibi Dong, and you actually dare to say something like that?
Shameless!
Despicable!
Bibi Dong picked up the jade mirror and slammed it fiercely onto the ground. Still not satisfied, she stomped on it several more times with her high-heeled, pale feet.
You son of a bitch!
If I ever meet you, I will definitely drag you into a secret chamber and personally ask you if you want to be Qian Xunji, if you wish to become nourishment.
Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena was also completely stunned.
The Martial Soul Academy was very close to Spirit Hall. She had already walked to the Hall when she suddenly saw such a huge secret. She didn't even know if she should go find her teacher anymore.
Would she be silenced for this?
This was too scary.
And that Leon fellow, how could he dare to speak of such things?
[Little Princess: Is the group owner even human?]
[Yan Yan: Shameless!]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Beast!]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Leon, I never thought you were this kind of person?]
[Shadow Cat: ?]
[Leon: I'm a rather honest person who likes to tell a few small truths. At the same time, I'm also quite objective. Qian Xunji was a beast, but if I were Qian Xunji, I might have been even more of a beast than him.]
[Leon: Everyone, look at it from another angle. If you were the Pope of Spirit Hall, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, or the Clan Leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and your disciple, whom you had painstakingly nurtured for so many years, ended up like this, what would you choose to do?]
[Leon: If this had happened in the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, the Clear Sky Clan, or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, do you think Bibi Dong's ending would have been any better?]
[Leon: Of those who can become an overlord of a region, which one isn't ruthless and utterly inhumane? Which one doesn't prioritize benefits above all else, using any means necessary? Occupying that position means fulfilling its duties. I dare say Bibi Dong's fate might have been even more miserable, and she would have had even less of a chance to become Pope.]
After Leon said these words, the group fell silent for a moment.
Ning Rongrong was the first to stop talking.
If she had done the same thing as Bibi Dong, then even if her father and the Sword and Bone Grandpas doted on her, they would never agree to her marrying into a rival power.
They would definitely choose an outstanding disciple and force her into a marriage. That would already be the best possible outcome.
But in reality, that was hardly any different from Bibi Dong's ordeal.
The others also fell silent.
Although they weren't from great clans, they understood very well what Leon was trying to express.
Which of those people wasn't ruthless?
They could be utterly inhumane!
[Shadow Cat: Indeed! Bibi Dong was lucky it was in Spirit Hall. If it were in a certain imperial family, I think she would have been locked in a secret chamber forever, giving birth until her death!]
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't say for sure about other things.
But if it were the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire, Bibi Dong would have absolutely been turned into a breeding machine, without a single shred of affection.
A hundred times more miserable than in Spirit Hall.
That was why after Dai Mubai fled, Zhu Zhuqing thought of nothing but escaping, and she had to escape.
[Loves Eating Carrots: Heavens! Are the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, the Clear Sky Clan, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan all that bad?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: This isn't a question of good or bad, but of reality.]
[Number Nine: Even the powerful Pope has painful things she cannot change. Alas!]
