Chapter 551: The Spirit Hall's Analysis, the Love-Struck Hu Liena

Bibi Dong's Anger made the several Elders beneath her tremble with fear.

Ever since Nan Feihuang appeared, her menopause seemed to have arrived early; nothing was going right.

The Soul Hunting Operation against the Upper Three Sects had not achieved full success, the plan to absorb the academies had failed, the New Seven Great Sects Selection Assembly had been intercepted by Feihuang, and not only had the first continental war after founding the empire been a crushing defeat, but she later learned that she had been completely tricked by Nan Feihuang and used as a pawn.

At this moment, being inexplicably wronged again, how could she not be filled with Anger?

Bibi Dong gripped her precarious fourth Pope Scepter, "Nan Feihuang, you bastard, just how far do you intend to interfere with me before you are satisfied?"

"Um, Teacher, I feel that this matter might not be related to Nan Feihuang. Even if he wanted to frame you, he wouldn't go so far as to use his own family as chips. As far as I know, in this poisoning incident, even his two older sisters and two nephews almost lost their lives. Nan Feihuang may not be a good person, but it is clear that he values family affection; he wouldn't go to the extent of harming his own family just to frame you," Hu Liena analyzed.

Lingyuan Douluo immediately retorted, "Saintess, then tell me, besides him, who else could it be? Among the world's experts in medicine and poison, the top three are Yang Wudi of the Po Clan, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and our nation's Citun Douluo. Two of those three are in the Gu Lei Kingdom; it couldn't possibly be that Elder Citun framed himself, could it?"

"Furthermore, Nan Feihuang also knows about Elder Citun's Pufferfish Poison. He once dispelled poison for both Xue Beng and Xue Ye, so he must already have some understanding of this toxin. It is not impossible for him to concoct a similar poison."

Ghost Leopard Douluo continued, "Elder Lingyuan's words are reasonable. It is true that Nan Feihuang values family, but in the face of competing for hegemony over the world, what is family affection worth? They were just two sisters who had long since married off. Besides, didn't they end up not dying? The Hagen Dazs royal family has been poisoned to death, and it is currently in total chaos. Nan Feiyan's husband is an external relative of the royal family and holds the nation's military, political, and financial power. At this moment, as long as Nan Feihuang intervenes secretly, he can completely help him ascend the throne and thereby control the Hagen Dazs Kingdom."

"The Tianshuang Principality goes without saying. Once the Tianshuang ruler is dead, his nephew, as the Crown Prince, is certain to succeed the throne. At that time, with the new emperor still young and Nan Feilian ruling from behind the curtain, turning the Tianshuang Principality toward the Gu Lei Kingdom would be as easy as turning over one's hand. After obtaining all the territory, military strength, and financial resources of both countries, the Gu Lei Kingdom would have the strength to establish an empire. Moreover, they could use this as an excuse to push the deaths of the Hagen Dazs royal family and the Tianshuang ruler entirely onto our Spirit Empire, and launch a war against our nation with a justified cause."

The analysis by Lingyuan Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo left Hu Liena speechless.

The Nan Feihuang she knew was not someone who would disregard his own kin, but the two of them had laid out the motives and benefits so clearly that she could not refute them.

After all, she did not truly believe in Nan Feihuang's character the way Qian Renxue did.

No, or rather, it was not that she could not refute them, but that she did not want to, because she knew there was actually one other person who had the heart and the power to do this, and that person's status in her heart was a hundred times more important than Nan Feihuang's.

"Shut up, all of you!" Just then, the doors to the Offering Hall were pushed open, and Qian Renxue walked in. She looked at Lingyuan Douluo and said, "You are still as fond of gossiping as ever, Elder Lingyuan! Feihuang is absolutely not the kind of person you describe. Even if he is not a good person, he has his own bottom line in doing things and would never lay a hand on his own family."

Qian Renxue looked at Lingyuan with great dissatisfaction. Back then, when she and Nan Feihuang almost turned against each other, it was all due to this woman's instigation, and now she wanted to pin the blame on Nan Feihuang again.

"Qian Renxue, what do you mean by this? If it isn't Nan Feihuang, then who else could it be?" Bibi Dong frowned. This love-struck daughter was actually speaking up for the enemy at a time like this.

"That is something you should ask your disciple," Qian Renxue said, looking at Hu Liena. "Are you not prepared to reveal the other suspicion in your heart? Or is it that in your heart, he is even more important than the Spirit Hall? You should understand that if the truth of this matter is not uncovered, what we will face next is a war with the Gu Lei Kingdom. Are you willing to let us be used as pawns once again because of that person?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned toward Hu Liena.

Even Bibi Dong looked at her precious disciple with suspicion. Could it be that she was really hiding something? "Nana, tell the truth."

Under Bibi Dong's piercing gaze, Hu Liena could no longer hide it and immediately knelt on the ground. "Teacher, please forgive me. Nana does indeed have another suspect in mind: Tang San of the Tang Sect. In fact, he is also a master of poison. When we were in Slaughter City, it was he who dispelled the poison of my Bloody Mary, allowing me to successfully break out of Hell Road. Moreover, on the return journey, I was once assassinated; it should have been the work of Tang Xiao or Tang Chen. But I now suspect that the assassination attempt on me that day was merely a diversion. Their true target was Elder Citun. The purpose of wounding the Elder was to steal a sample of Elder Citun's venom."

"Such an important matter, why didn't you say so sooner!!!" Bibi Dong was furious. Her disciple had actually hidden such key information; could it be that she had fallen for that Tang San?

"Teacher, please calm your Anger. It is all Nana's fault. Tang Yin saved my life, so I... I..." Hu Liena knelt on the ground, looking as if she knew she was wrong and was ready for the Teacher to punish her.

Looking at her precious disciple kneeling and confessing in silence, Bibi Dong actually did not have much desire to scold her.

She only felt sorrow; why was she so unlucky?

The daughter she gave birth to was love-struck, and the disciple she took in was also love-struck.

One she gave birth to, one she taught; could this be some kind of inheritance?

"Forget it, now is not the time to punish you." Bibi Dong waved her hand, brushing the matter aside. If it were anyone else, they would certainly be dead, but Bibi Dong had always been lenient toward Hu Liena.

It was truly closer than a biological daughter. This scene made Qian Renxue's brows knit tightly. If the situation were her, she feared this Empress would not have let such a big matter be reduced to a small one so easily.

How ironic, when she was the one who was the biological daughter.

Bibi Dong acted as if she did not see Qian Renxue's expression and continued, "Qian Renxue, you find a way to contact Nan Feihuang and explain this matter clearly. You must not let him fall for Tang San's frame-up and be used by him as a pawn."

"Do you think Feihuang is you? To be fooled so easily? Rest assured, leave this matter to me." Qian Renxue really did not want to watch the 'motherly kindness and filial piety' between those two, so she agreed and turned to leave.

She knew Feihuang would not be fooled, but just in case, she still had to write a letter to Nan Feihuang.

In fact, the person who was most angry and anxious right now was not Bibi Dong; there was someone even more so.

That was Tang San himself, who had implemented this poisonous scheme, because his plan could be said to have already failed.

Those who should have died did not, and those who should not have died did.
