Chapter 303: Speculation

"Bibi Dong actually likes this kind of person. No wonder in her past life she was called the number one love-addled fool of the Douluo Continent."

A dignified, heaven-gifted woman, liking such a piece of trash.

It's just like a PhD academician from Tsinghua or Peking University, fair-skinned, beautiful, wealthy, and powerful, only to be swindled by a little yellow-haired punk wearing bean-shaped shoes and tight pants.

Anyone would find it hard to watch. Thinking about it this way, I can almost understand why Qian Xunji went so crazy, though his methods were too extreme; threatening Yu Xiaogang would have been better than threatening Bibi Dong.

Shi Quan shook his head slightly.

The memories between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong only stopped at the point where Bibi Dong pretended to be heartless and cut off their relationship; their next meeting after that was in Wuhun City.

However, based on the memories, Shi Quan still obtained a very crucial point.

That is, when Bibi Dong cut ties with Yu Xiaogang, she must have been "chambered" by the Chamber Douluo and was already pregnant. Having this memory is enough to prove some things.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Shi Quan's consciousness returned. Looking at the two unconscious people, he raised a wicked smirk, "I'll help you two out and arrange a sweet dream for you."

Silver radiance sank into the space between their brows. Shi Quan swept his hand, and the two figures fell into the room. Within a moment, the sound of panting came from inside.

Shi Quan's figure then vanished.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Shi Quan returned to the side hall where Qian Renxue was, acting all mysterious.

"Back so soon?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow at Shi Quan. "What's with that expression? Did you really find something?"

"Ahem." Shi Quan coughed twice and nodded. "I really did find some key clues. It might actually have something to do with this Yu Xiaogang."

"Such a piece of trash? Could it have something to do with that woman?" Qian Renxue frowned deeply.

"See for yourself." Shi Quan used his Spirit Sense to establish a connection with Qian Renxue, vividly displaying the memories he had just obtained from Yu Xiaogang.

"This is?" Qian Renxue was startled. Looking at the images and scenes before her, her expression was one of surprise, but as the images progressed, her face gradually darkened.

"That woman actually liked such a piece of trash back then?"

After watching, Qian Renxue truly could not understand Bibi Dong's thought process. She was already a Spirit Saint, yet she liked a self-righteous Spirit Master piece of trash!

"And then?" Qian Renxue looked at Shi Quan.

"These memories were extracted directly from Yu Xiaogang. There's nothing else. Ever since Bibi Dong broke up with him, their next intersection was during the Spirit Master Tournament."

"Didn't they already break up? What does that have to do with me and my father?"

"The timing of Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's breakup is problematic!"

"September, 2619 of the Douluo Calendar..." Qian Renxue's expression changed abruptly. "My birth date is May, 2620 of the Douluo Calendar. That means when that woman broke up with Yu Xiaogang, she was already carrying me!"

"Correct! According to Yu Xiaogang's memories, there was no problem with their relationship; they were even very much in love and talking about marriage. But then, Bibi Dong disappeared for nearly two months. When they met again, Bibi Dong broke up with him very heartlessly. Based on your birth date, Bibi Dong was already pregnant at that time."

Shi Quan looked at Qian Renxue. "Working backward from the timeline, the time Bibi Dong was pregnant with you was exactly the period she went missing."

"So you think the problem lies within those one or two months?" Qian Renxue's face looked ugly.

She had no idea her mother had such a romantic history.

"You and I are both smart people." Shi Quan sighed slightly. "Actually, based on the clues obtained so far, plus your grandfather's explanation, I fear your father most likely used some underhanded means to forcibly keep Bibi Dong, possessed your mother, and forced your mother to break all ties with that Yu Xiaogang."

"Of course, this is just a speculation. What exactly happened back then, and whether this was the fuse for Bibi Dong killing your father and treating you this way, cannot be determined yet."

How could Qian Renxue not have thought of this? What she told Shi Quan was that her father had wronged Bibi Dong; the original words her grandfather told her were:

"Back then, your father used some dark means to keep her. Your father wronged her. I originally thought she had let it go, but I didn't expect her to be so patient. At that time, you had already lost your father, and I didn't want you to lose your mother as well."

Dark means, combined with Yu Xiaogang's memories—the answer seemed ready to emerge.

It was just that Qian Renxue did not believe her father could be such a person.

"Actually..." Shi Quan's voice suddenly sounded. "Have you ever considered a possibility: that your father was willing to die at Bibi Dong's hands back then?"

"What do you mean by that?" Qian Renxue stood up abruptly, staring fixedly at Shi Quan.

"When hunting down Tang Hao and the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, there were quite a few Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall. Tang Hao was only a Spirit Douluo at the time. Your father, as the Pope, didn't need to do it himself. I don't think there was any other reason for him to act back then other than for Bibi Dong."

"From this, one can see that your father had some feelings for Bibi Dong. Although it's uncertain what those feelings were, it at least shows that your father cared about Bibi Dong."

"In that battle, Tang Hao's strength had just reached Title Douluo. Although he had the help of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Sacrifice, your father also had two other Title Douluo helping him at the time."

"Even though he was defeated in the end and your father was seriously injured, he was a Level 95 Title Douluo fighting one against three. Tang Hao had only just broken through to Level 90 after the Sacrifice. Even if injured, it shouldn't have left your father with no power to resist. And with the resources of the Spirit Hall, would they lack healing-type Auxiliary Soul Masters? As the Pope, he should have received treatment the moment he returned to the Spirit Hall."

"Furthermore, when Bibi Dong killed your father, her strength seemed to have just broken through to Spirit Douluo? A Level 95 Title Douluo, even if severely injured, shouldn't be easily assassinated by a Spirit Douluo, right? And it was in the Pope Palace; if he had resisted even a little, with your grandfather's strength, he surely could have rescued him in time, right?"

"Combining all these factors, the final result was your father dying at your mother's hands in the Pope Palace. Don't you find that strange?"

This was just a hypothesis Shi Quan made to ease the relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. After all, the descriptions of this event in the original work were too scarce, and his understanding of Qian Xunji was limited to the "Chamber Douluo" incident.
