For the next few days, Qian Renxue was preoccupied with heavy thoughts.
Yang Yuan naturally knew the reason, but he did not offer words of comfort, simply staying by her side quietly.
Even with her mind weighed down, Qian Renxue did not forget to deal with Yu Xiaogang.
To that end, she mobilized Spirit Hall's entire intelligence network, demanding that Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts be found as quickly as possible.
With Spirit Hall's entire intelligence network operating at full capacity, Qian Renxue received word of Yu Xiaogang's location in just three days.
As it turned out, since the Soul Master Tournament, the information that Yu Xiaogang and Tang San hailed from Nuoding City could not withstand the scrutiny of those who cared to look.
Thus, the first direction Spirit Hall investigated was Nuoding City, where they found a dejected Yu Xiaogang within Nuoding Academy.
He had returned to his former life of freeloading, holed up in Nuoding Academy to continue playing the role of 'Grandmaster'.
Out of respect for his identity, the Dean of Nuoding Academy still treated him warmly and provided him with a place to stay.
However, once his location was exposed, he was seized by Spirit Hall experts that very day and brought back.
With Yu Xiaogang's rank twenty-nine spirit power, he had no ability to resist and was captured on the spot. On the seventh day after Qian Renxue issued her command, he was brought back to Spirit Hall overnight by a Spirit Saint with a flying Spirit... Inside a magnificent and grand hall, a tall man entered, escorting a person who was tied up and wearing a black hood over his head.
"Holy Maiden, Yu Xiaogang has been brought!"
After speaking, the tall man kicked Yu Xiaogang behind the knees.
The man instantly lost control and fell to his knees with a 'thud,' his kneecaps hitting the hard stone floor with a clear sound.
Then, the man violently ripped off the black hood covering Yu Xiaogang's head.
Compared to three years ago, Yu Xiaogang looked more than ten years older.
After the hood was torn off, his face still held a look of daze, and a rag was stuffed into his mouth, making it impossible for him to make a sound.
Seeing light again, his eyes were momentarily dazzled.
But when he recovered and saw the scene in the hall clearly—especially seeing Qian Renxue and Yang Yuan sitting side by side at the front—the expression on his face instantly transformed into shock and fury.
He glared at Yang Yuan, struggling frantically to speak, but only muffled sounds could be heard.
At that moment, the tall man standing nearby pulled the rag out of his mouth.
Once freed, Yu Xiaogang immediately cursed, "Fine, I was wondering who wanted to move against me. So it's you, Yang Yuan!!"
Yang Yuan glanced at him disdainfully.
"You're overthinking it. Do you think you're worthy of me taking action personally?"
Yu Xiaogang ignored Yang Yuan's words; in his view, Yang Yuan was just being stubborn.
He was already here. If Yang Yuan hadn't found someone to do it, who else would have moved against him?
However, as he struggled to turn his head and look around, the familiar environment instantly caused him to react, and he blurted out.
"This is Spirit Hall!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yang Yuan looking at him with a half-smile.
Qian Renxue's face suddenly darkened, and she said coldly, "You are quite familiar with my Spirit Hall to be able to recognize it."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Qian Renxue.
He was certain he had never met the woman before him, yet inexplicably, he felt a sense of familiarity from her.
At this thought, Yu Xiaogang frowned.
"And who are you?"
"Since this is Spirit Hall, then you should know that I am an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall. Who gave you permission to seize me?"
"Where is Bibi Dong?"
"I want to see her!!"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned Bibi Dong, but at the mention of her name, Qian Renxue's face darkened so much it looked as if it could drip water.
"Is the name of the previous Supreme Pontiff something a piece of trash like you can say directly?"
"Someone, slap his mouth!"
"By your command!" The tall man nearby immediately cupped his fists in response, then walked expressionlessly to Yu Xiaogang, raised his large hand, and began slapping him back and forth across the face.
The air currents seemed to distort.
"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Series of breaking air sounds rang out, the dense sound of slaps falling on Yu Xiaogang's face like raindrops.
The speed was so fast and the force so great that Yu Xiaogang instantly lost consciousness, spitting out several bloody teeth.
After just a few slaps, Yu Xiaogang's head slumped to the side.
The tall man cupped his fists and said, "Holy Maiden, he has fainted!"
With a dark face, Qian Renxue frowned and said, "Wake him up!"
"Yes!"
The tall man responded, squatted down, and pressed several Acupoints on Yu Xiaogang's body.
After a while, Yu Xiaogang woke up with a start, a look of lingering fear on his face as he looked at the tall man, his eyes flashing with a hint of terror.
"You... who exactly are you, and why do you treat me like this?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Qian Renxue, his voice carrying a bit of gravity.
He could see the anger toward him on this blonde woman's face, but he didn't remember when he had ever offended her.
Wait, why did this woman look so familiar?
Moreover, the reason for her anger just now was related to Bibi Dong... Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong... Yu Xiaogang repeated the name silently in his heart.
Suddenly, his pupils shook violently as a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.
He finally knew why he always felt the woman before him was so familiar.
Between the eyebrows of the woman before him, was there not a thirty percent resemblance to Bibi Dong?
Could it be that she is actually Bibi Dong's daughter?
But how is that possible?
How could Bibi Dong have a daughter!
The person she loved most was clearly himself.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt a sense of inner collapse, and inexplicably, he felt as if he had been cuckolded.
He shouted a question at Qian Renxue: "Who are you really, and what exactly is your relationship with Bibi Dong?"
Qian Renxue looked at him indifferently and said, "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
"I truly don't understand how Bibi Dong could have taken a fancy to a piece of trash like you."
"Was she blind?"
Receiving Qian Renxue's confirmation, Yu Xiaogang felt as if the sky was falling.
Especially looking at the age of the woman before him, she was likely born not long after he left Spirit Hall.
As for who this woman's father was?
Looking at Qian Renxue's long golden hair, Yu Xiaogang already had a guess in his heart.
He suddenly laughed loudly, then looked at Qian Renxue with disdain.
"You mother and daughter truly make me feel disgusted!"
After speaking, he looked at Yang Yuan and said, "Yang Yuan, when did you also become a lapdog for Spirit Hall?"
Yang Yuan spread his hands and smiled. "It couldn't be helped. Who told Spirit Hall to use a honey trap on me?"
"You actually joined Spirit Hall because of a woman."
"Don't forget, you were the one who crippled Bibi Dong. Do you really think Spirit Hall will let the matter rest?"
"Don't let Spirit Hall devour you until not even your bones are left."
Yu Xiaogang's face was full of disbelief.
Qian Renxue sneered, "At a time like this, you still dare to sow discord."
"Yu Xiaogang, back then you drove a wedge between the previous Holy Maiden and Spirit Hall, and you plagiarized Spirit Hall's research results. Your crimes are unpardonable. Bringing you here today is so you can die with understanding."
Yu Xiaogang's whole body shook.
"You, you dare to kill me!"
"Do you know the relationship between me and Bibi Dong!"
Qian Renxue's face was as dark as water.
"Letting you die directly would be the cheapest way out."
"I will make you wish you were dead!"
"Someone!"
The tall man took a step forward.
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Escort him to the deepest part of Spirit Hall's Black Prison and have the Warden of the Black Prison treat him well for me."
"Furthermore, keep him alive. I don't want to see his corpse within the next twenty years."
The tall man cupped his fists in response.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
