Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue shed her disguise as Xue Qinghe from the day, changing into a cool light yellow camisole and panties. Barefoot, her fair jade-like feet were exposed as she curled lazily into the soft velvet sofa.
On her perky little butt, a pair of blue and white panties was exposed to the air.
This was the only moment in her day when she could briefly drop all her defenses and masks to be herself.
At this moment, a cold, disdainful sneer hung on her exquisite face.
Li Yuan's words might work to fool a Young Miss like Ning Rongrong, who was too well-protected, but trying to deceive her?
He was still a bit too green.
[Li Yuan: A frog at the bottom of a well, how could you know how big the World is?]
[Child Without Parents: What exactly are you trying to say? Are you just putting on a show and acting mysterious to grab attention?]
[Li Yuan: It's terrifying to be uncultured. Then let me ask you, do you know how big this World is?]
Seeing this question, the mockery at the corner of Qian Renxue's mouth deepened.
Testing her? With such a simple question?
Did he really think she was one of those ignorant, playboy-type scions?
Her fingers tapped nimbly on the screen, and soon a message was sent out.
[Child Without Parents: The Douluo Continent is the center of the World. To the north are the Far North Cold Lands, and there are several major Spirit Beast forests like Star Dou and Sunset. On the other side of the ocean is Sea God Island, and the rest is the endless vast ocean.]
[Child Without Parents: Furthermore, there is the God Realm, which is unreachable for Mortals. This is recorded in ancient texts, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain.]
[Li Yuan: Ridiculous, all wrong!]
[Child Without Parents: How could it be wrong! These were all recorded by my Qian family ancestors. Could it be that you're just pretending to know and being difficult?]
My Qian family ancestors?
Li Yuan's eyes flickered.
Good, good, good, Little Xue, you've shown your true colors!
[Li Yuan: Those records of yours aren't wrong, but they are as narrow as your vision.]
[Child Without Parents: You! Hmph, I want to see what kind of 'ivory' can come out of a dog's mouth like yours!]
Li Yuan's mouth twitched. Comparing vision with a transmigrator like him? Watch me scare you to death.
[Li Yuan: Fine, listen up. Beyond the Douluo Continent, there is another Sun Moon Continent! Not only that, this Universe is vast and boundless, practically infinite!]
[Child Without Parents: Impossible! If there really were a Sun Moon Continent, how could we have never heard of it? You must be talking nonsense!]
[Li Yuan: Because of Continental Plate Displacement... forget it, explaining it to you is like playing a lute to a cow. Who told you to be uncultured?]
Qian Renxue's face turned pale with anger, her pink fists quietly clenching.
She was uncultured?
She had been well-read in classics since childhood, and various historical anecdotes were at her fingertips. She was actually being told she was uncultured?
Also, what exactly was this 'Continental Plate Displacement'?
Just as she wanted to question him further, a new message from Li Yuan arrived.
[Li Yuan: Look up at the stars in the sky. I tell you, every single star above your head could be a brand new, vast, and boundless World!]
[Li Yuan: The Universe is infinite, and the so-called God Realm that you natives of the Douluo Continent spend your whole lives trying to enter, along with the Douluo Continent beneath your feet, are nothing more than a tiny speck of dust in this vast Universe!]
[The Richest Tycooness of the Heaven Dou Empire: Oh my god! The World is actually this big! No wonder when I told Grandpa Sword I wanted the stars in the sky, he couldn't pluck them no matter what.]
Chen Xin: "..."
(Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suddenly sneezed, feeling a sense of 'filial piety'.)
[Big Cat in the Dark Night: If there's a chance... I really want to see what the 'Universe' the Group Owner mentioned looks like.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: +1! It sounds so amazing!]
[Spirit Hall's Yandere Maniac Beauty: Nonsense! Stars are stars, how could they be Worlds? According to your logic, could the Douluo Continent be a round ball?]
[Child Without Parents: Words alone are no proof. If you can provide even half a shred of evidence, I will believe you.]
At this moment, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, this mother and daughter with a complicated relationship, rarely stood on the same front of "questioning Li Yuan."
[Li Yuan: You don't believe me? Then I'll have to drop some heavy material.]
[Li Yuan: Bibi Dong... you haven't forgotten about that incident in the Secret Room, have you? Do you need me to help everyone recall the details?]
[Spirit Hall's Yandere Maniac Beauty: Shut up! If you dare to continue, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will make sure you die without a place to be buried. I mean what I say!]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's delicate body was trembling.
The color drained from her stunningly beautiful face, replaced by uncontrollable rage. The killing intent in her eyes almost solidified.
The Secret Room.
That was a nightmare and shame she could never escape in her life.
It was the deepest scar and secret in her heart.
No matter how this Li Yuan knew.
If he dared to expose this matter in public... Bibi Dong would make him shut up forever at any cost!
[Li Yuan: Threatening me? You're not worthy. Qian Renxue, do you want to know the true cause of your father's death?]
[Child Without Parents: Wasn't my father killed by Tang Hao?]
Li Yuan's question left Qian Renxue looking bewildered.
This was clearly something everyone on the Douluo Continent knew.
[Li Yuan: No, although Tang Hao heavily injured your father back then, he was wary of your grandfather Qian Daoliu and didn't deliver the killing blow. Your father's true fatal wound... came from another source. As for who the killer is, you might as well think about who was the person... closest to your father.]
Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly constricted, as if a thunderclap had exploded in her mind.
Her father... was killed by the person closest to him?!
Who? Grandfather? Or... Mother?
She felt her head spinning, her entire World was about to collapse, and she almost couldn't hold the Brick in her hand.
[Spirit Hall's Yandere Maniac Beauty: Little Xue! Don't listen to his deceptive words!]
Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically, no longer possessing her previous calmness.
No matter how much she disliked Qian Renxue.
Even if her relationship with Qian Renxue was cold, and even if her heart was filled with hatred for that man.
She absolutely did not want Qian Renxue to know... that the person who killed her father was her own biological mother!
[Li Yuan: Tsk tsk, the daughter wants to know the cause of her father's death, but the mother is obstructing it in every way. Interesting.]
[Spirit Hall's Yandere Maniac Beauty: Shut up! If you dare to speak any more nonsense, I will surely kill you!]
[Li Yuan: Whatever, talk to me after you can actually do it. However, Qian Renxue, I think you really want to know who your father's true killer is, right?]
For a moment, Qian Renxue's mind became even more chaotic.
Who should she believe?
Why was her mother preventing her from knowing the truth?
Could it be that Grandfather was the killer?
In her desperation, her fingers trembled as she sent a message.
[Child Without Parents: I want to know. Please tell me, and I will reward you handsomely!]
[Li Yuan: No problem, but it's too late today. I can't finish it in a short time. I'll tell you in the group tomorrow on time.]
[Li Yuan: Why does the Purple Old Boar scream in the middle of the night? Why did the stunning young girl break up with the Theoretical Youth? Why did the blonde man die suddenly in the Secret Room late at night? Why was the newborn baby loathed by its mother? And why did the centenarian old man shed tears of sorrow?]
[Li Yuan: Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality behind all this?]
[Li Yuan: Next, fellow group members, please stay tuned for tomorrow's large-scale soap opera family ethics documentary, 'The Bloodshed Caused by an Ingrate and a Pretty Boy!' We'll see you then!]
Meanwhile, in the bedchamber of the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's heart first tightened, but when she saw the final phrase 'Ingrate and Pretty Boy'.
Her tensed nerves suddenly relaxed, and she almost laughed.
Just this?
Ingrate? Pretty Boy?
Does this have even half a bronze coin's worth of a relationship with her, Bibi Dong?
It seemed this Li Yuan was just hearing rumors and knowing only a bit of the surface to be alarmist here.
Bibi Dong felt relieved, even finding it somewhat ridiculous, and sneered:
"Laughable. It seems this Group Owner Li Yuan isn't any powerful figure either. Once this Supreme Pontiff sends someone to capture you, I'll let you go to the Secret Room... to experience the feeling of wishing for life but being unable to live, and wishing for death but being unable to die!"
