Chapter 535: Xue Qinghe is of course a man

"How about it?"

Seeing Qin Jian lost in thought, Qian Daoliu did not urge him, but merely watched him calmly, appearing quite indifferent.

In truth, he knew what Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, wanted to do.

Even if there were other schemes, those were merely incidental; the fundamental point was that she wanted to snatch a man from Bibi Dong!

This child had lacked love since she was small and harbored deep hatred for Bibi Dong, who had dispatched her to the Heaven Dou Empire, and now, there was this Qin Jian.

She had already held a great fondness for Qin Jian, so naturally, she wanted to snatch him away.

But Qian Daoliu actually did not think highly of this matter, because judging by the current situation between the Pope and Hu Liena, it was highly likely that Qian Renxue would just be throwing herself away.

If she truly ended up with Bibi Dong in the end, that would be a supreme humiliation in the history of his Qian family.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't kill Qin Jian right now, he would have loved to strangle this demoness of the Spirit Hall...

"I don't have any objections."

Qin Jian turned his head to look at Bibi Dong: "What do you think? You seemed very angry just now?"

Bibi Dong's expression stiffened: "If I don't want you to go, will you not go?"

"You have seen the current situation; if you don't have a better idea to escape this predicament, then I can only accept this condition..."

Qin Jian smiled and said: "Besides, this matter sounds alright; helping him inherit the Heaven Dou Empire, doesn't that also benefit our Spirit Hall's grand cause of unification?"

Bibi Dong's red lips parted, and for a moment, she actually did not know how to speak.

Although Qian Daoliu's words sounded high-sounding, as if he were truly doing it so that Qin Jian could contend with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she intuitively felt that was not the case; her intuition told her...

After tearing apart her disciple, she was about to start tearing apart her daughter!

Bibi Dong thought for a moment and suddenly said: "I also have one condition; if she agrees to it, then I consent."

"What condition?" Qian Daoliu asked.

Bibi Dong looked at him and said slowly: "I want her to maintain her disguise; unless her identity is exposed, she is never allowed to reveal her true self."

Qian Daoliu's expression flickered, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to smile but held it back: "Fine, I will agree on her behalf."

On this point, his stance was consistent with Bibi Dong's, which was that he did not wish for Qin Jian and Qian Renxue to truly get involved with each other.

"If she reverts to her true self, then Qin Jian will no longer serve as her advisor, and this matter will end there."

Bibi Dong added.

Qian Daoliu still agreed: "Very well."

"Wait, can I ask a question?"

Qin Jian folded his arms and asked a question he already knew the answer to: "What exactly is this Xue Qinghe's true identity? What relationship does he have with the two of you?"

Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong, too lazy to explain.

Bibi Dong then looked at Qin Jian: "She is my child."

Qin Jian played along and widened his eyes: "He is that child you conceived using the method I mentioned?"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes stared at him, her expression vigilant.

"Then haven't I inexplicably gained a child?"

Qin Jian crossed his arms, looking very displeased.

Qian Daoliu felt a green tint appearing on Qian Xunji's forehead...

Bibi Dong could not help but feel secretly pleased in her heart, but on her face, she wore a smile that was not quite a smile: "She wasn't born of my own body; she merely inherited my talent."

"Then is he a man or a woman?" Qin Jian asked, appearing casual.

Bibi Dong smoothed the hair by her ear: "Of course he is a man."

Qin Jian: "..."

Qian Daoliu silently gave Bibi Dong a thumbs-up in his heart.

"Let this matter end here; please, Great Pontiff, take those Title Douluo from the Elder Hall outside..."

Qin Jian's expression quickly returned to calm, and he said blandly: "Please... withdraw from the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Hum!"

Qian Daoliu had never liked the two of them to begin with; if it weren't for the connection to Qian Renxue, he would never have stayed until now. At this moment, he had no desire to linger and left immediately, stepping on his Soul Ring at high speed.

"Whew..."

Bibi Dong let out a slight sigh of relief: "This old thing has finally left..."

"I didn't expect so many things to happen today."

Qin Jian crossed his arms, his expression tightening as he looked at her and said coldly: "Don't you think you should explain to me what exactly is going on?"

Bibi Dong blinked: "The matter is very simple; it's just that Nana needed a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring to complete her Assessment, but currently, only that Soft Bone Rabbit is the most suitable, so I provided her with a plan and let her choose whether to do it or not. It's that simple."

"How did you discover Xiao Wu's identity?"

Qin Jian went straight to the most critical point amidst this mess.

Bibi Dong's expression tightened, and her voice became much weaker: "Umm... it was when you performed the Sacrifice; she leaked a trace of her aura just before that."

"So, you have been watching Xiao Wu since then?"

Qin Jian narrowed his eyes.

Bibi Dong shook her head and said: "No, it was only recently that Nana needed one, so I helped her keep track of her whereabouts."

"Did you never think of obtaining this Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring for yourself?" Qin Jian's expression remained indifferent.

Facing Qian Daoliu, they were on the same side.

Now that Qian Daoliu was gone, it was naturally time to properly settle matters between each other.

"I had thought about it..."

Bibi Dong lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "But that was a thought from five years ago... later, I never thought about it again..."

"So, this time you just set Nana up, wanting to make me separate from her?"

Only now, Qin Jian could be considered to have initially sorted out the framework behind this entire matter.

"Hmm, I never thought about letting Nana kill that Soft Bone Rabbit, so the mission I gave to Yue Guan and Gui Mei was to protect the Soft Bone Rabbit..."

Bibi Dong's expression suddenly became heavy: "But two things exceeded my expectations..."

"One is the ambush against me by Dai Mubai, and the second is the sneak attack by Qian Daoliu." Qin Jian crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yes..."

Bibi Dong unconsciously smoothed her hair: "The reason for Qian Daoliu has been figured out now; it was Xue Qinghe scheming behind the scenes, but I still haven't figured out what is actually going on behind this Star Luo Empire Crown Prince."

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "Do less of this kind of thing in the future; it is very easy to be used, especially now, I can feel a net closing in on me."

Bibi Dong's expression jolted; she opened her mouth as if to say something, but did not speak it out.

"No, there is still Rakshasa Divine Power residue on my body; I cannot tell him my deductions, the risk is too great..."

She frowned and thought to herself: "From my initial Assessment, as well as that Dark Golden Cage, and the Assessment on Nana, two conclusions can be drawn: one is that the one scheming against Qin Jian behind the scenes is highly likely a god, and two is that they don't want to kill him right now, but rather want to achieve some kind of goal."

She looked up at Qin Jian, her expression flickering between light and shadow.

Has he realized these things?

No, I must seize the opportunity to remove the Rakshasa Divine Power, otherwise I cannot tell him these speculations...

"Alright, since things are clear, you should also take them and leave the Star Dou Great Forest." Qin Jian pointed at Yue Guan and the others and said.

Bibi Dong came back to her senses and suddenly pursed her lips slightly: "Do you not have anything else you want to say to me?"
