Qian Renxue's words did not cause any anger to show on Bibi Dong's face; she simply said indifferently, "Then I have disappointed you. I am still alive."
Qian Renxue said with a slightly stiff tone, "Then you are overthinking it. I do not care whether you are dead or alive."
Hu Liena whispered, "If you do not care, then why did you come?"
Qian Renxue gave her a faint glance, huffed coldly, and then said, "Since you are not dead, I will be going."
These words were addressed to Bibi Dong. Although she no longer hated Bibi Dong as much as she once did, they still had nothing to say to each other. She turned to leave.
Seeing this, a look of conflict flashed across Bibi Dong's face.
In the past, she had indeed transferred her hatred for Qian Xunji onto Qian Renxue, filling her with loathing and never giving her a shred of motherly love.
But since being stripped of her power, aside from the initial period of difficulty in accepting it, she found herself becoming increasingly peaceful as time passed, her heart no longer filled with the extremism of the past.
After Qian Renxue returned to Heaven Dou and they met, she realized in hindsight how cold she had been to Qian Renxue all these years.
Occasionally putting herself in Qian Renxue's shoes, she understood more and more how cruel her actions had been back then, making her feel deeper regret.
Why did she only now suddenly wake up to the truth?
Watching Qian Renxue prepare to leave, Bibi Dong subconsciously reached out, wanting to call her back.
At this moment, Bibi Dong wanted so much to have a heart-to-heart with Qian Renxue. She did not ask for her to acknowledge her as a mother; even just slightly easing the tension in their relationship would be enough.
But in the end, she did not say a word.
After Qian Renxue left, Hu Liena asked in confusion, "Teacher, why is your younger sister so cold to you?"
Hu Liena did not know Qian Renxue's name, but she had seen her more than once when she was young.
But even now, she thought Qian Renxue was Bibi Dong's younger sister because every time they met, Qian Renxue called Bibi Dong'Sister'.
However, Hu Liena had always been confused in her heart.
Because this younger sister of her teacher treated her very poorly and was away for years at a time, making her rarely seen.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong gave a bitter smile, feeling as though she was reaping what she had sown.
Back then, because she loathed Qian Renxue, she had ordered her to only call her'Sister' no matter where they were.
As a result, she now had no idea where to even begin trying to mend their relationship.
Looking at the questioning Hu Liena, she felt a strong urge to unburden herself and simply told her the truth about her relationship with Qian Renxue.
Of course, even now, she still had not come to terms with what happened regarding Qian Xunji, so she did not mention it.
Nevertheless, after hearing Bibi Dong's story, Hu Liena was still shocked and bewildered.
Hu Liena truly could not believe that her teacher actually had a daughter.
Furthermore, she had sent her to the Heaven Dou Empire to lie low for over a decade, and she had even usurped the Heaven Dou Throne.
If this news ever got out, it would likely cause a massive earthquake across the entire continent.
But she still had one more question: why was the relationship between her teacher and her daughter so strained?
Thinking it over, there was only one possible reason.
And that was that her teacher had not truly wanted to give birth to Qian Renxue.
As for Qian Renxue's father, it was also easy to guess.
It was likely the previous Supreme Pontiff who was killed by the Clear Sky Douluo.
But that was what truly shocked Hu Liena.
Because the previous Supreme Pontiff was her Grandmaster... Meanwhile, Qian Renxue had also returned to Yang Yuan's side and told him about the state she had seen Bibi Dong in.
After listening, Yang Yuan rubbed his chin.
"Perhaps I know why her change has been so significant."
Qian Renxue asked curiously, "Why?"
She did not believe that a person's personality could change so much in just three years, so she had once thought that the personality Bibi Dong was currently displaying was just a facade.
Yang Yuan said, "Bibi Dong's two Spirits are the Soul Eating Spider Emperor and the Death Spider Emperor. Both are evil and wicked. To put it bluntly, she has the InnateFallen Soul MasterHoly Body."
"Carrying these two great Spirits, while she might not be a born villain, her personality was subtly influenced by them. It is only natural that she would inevitably become biased and extreme."
"Add to that her acceptance of the Rakshasa God's Legacy—the Rakshasa God is the God of Evil Thoughts and can trigger the darkness within a person. With all these factors combined, plus some external stimuli, it led to Bibi Dong's personality."
"Now that I have crippled both Bibi Dong's Spirits and her Rakshasa GodLegacy, her personality has naturally changed."
"I see."
After listening, Qian Renxue came to a sudden realization.
However, she was still curious: "But what are the external factors you mentioned? Do you know them?"
Yang Yuan nodded and pointed to the vertical marking between his eyebrows.
"This eye of mine can see more than just the future!"
Qian Renxue's heart stirred upon hearing this, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked:
"Xiao Yuan, what... happened to Bibi Dong?"
Yang Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head. "It is not convenient for me to say. You can go ask your grandfather."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue recalled Bibi Dong's coldness toward her when she was young and felt more and more that there was some hidden story behind it.
Of course, Qian Renxue did not want to forgive Bibi Dong.
But she had to know the truth.
So the next day, Qian Renxue went to find Qian Daoliu again.
Learning of Qian Renxue's intent, Qian Daoliu could not help but sigh deeply, and in the end, he revealed the scandal from back then.
In Qian Daoliu's long recollection, what shocked and surprised Qian Renxue the most was that she actually heard Yu Xiaogang's name mentioned.
That trash, who was still only a Level 29 Spirit Grandmaster at his age, had actually known Bibi Dong thirty years ago.
But soon, when she heard that Bibi Dong had actually fallen in love with Yu Xiaogang and even wanted to elope with him, Qian Renxue's worldview was nearly shattered, her face filled with disbelief.
Bibi Dong actually liked a piece of trash who only knew how to plagiarize others' work and was still Level 29 at his age.
Are there no other men left in the world?
She must have been truly desperate!!
Qian Renxue suppressed her disgust and continued listening. She heard about Bibi Dong being defiled by Qian Xunji, and later using the opportunity of Tang Hao severely wounding Qian Xunji to kill him.
After hearing all this, she finally understood why Bibi Dong would look at her with eyes full of loathing.
However, what is done is done. Understanding did not mean forgiveness.
She would not take the initiative to mend her relationship with Bibi Dong because of this.
Qian Renxue's face was a mixture of complex emotions, and within that complexity was a towering rage.
The origin of everything was all because of that trash!!
She heard he had been kicked out of Shrek Academy and his whereabouts were unknown.
But it did not matter.
Even though the world was vast, there would be no place for him to hide.
Qian Renxue's eyes were cold. She would definitely catch that trash and make him wish he were dead!
