Betrayal, where does it start?
If Qian Xunji had not betrayed her, Bibi Dong would not have become the half-psycho that she is now.
Qian Xunji was never fit to be a teacher!
"I thought you would be furious, but I didn't expect you to hold back."
Neuvillette said calmly.
After saying this, he picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then put it down.
Bibi Dong: "..."
Furious?
Does she look like such a crude person?
She just wanted to know why Neuvillette would say such a thing.
"Please explain, I want to know why you would say that my actions count as betrayal."
Bibi Dong is the kind of woman who is very stubborn. Once she has made up her mind, it is hard to change it. Moreover, she does not like deception.
Putting down the teacup, Neuvillette could confirm one thing: the tea was not poisoned.
Even if it was poisoned, it would not be a problem for him.
"This matter starts with the awakening of the martial soul of the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's patriarch..."
"???"
Bibi Dong was stunned and somewhat confused, but she did not interrupt Neuvillette. She wanted to hear what this was all about.
After all, she had plenty of time.
As the conversation progressed, with Neuvillette's explanation, Bibi Dong and Focalors occasionally nodded in agreement, especially Bibi Dong. She could not find anything wrong with what was being said.
Neuvillette merely stated the facts and did not offer any personal conjecture or remarks targeting Yu Xiaogang. Bibi Dong naturally found nothing wrong with what Neuvillette said because she knew these things herself.
"Yu Xiaogang gave up. With only half a level of innate soul power, he couldn't become a powerful soul master," Neuvillette continued calmly. "So, he sought another path: researching martial souls."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was established relatively recently, and its literature mostly pertains to dragon-type soul beasts. It's completely inadequate to help Yu Xiaogang become a martial soul master."
"You should know about this, Miss Bibi Dong, right?"
"Someone like you, who cares about him, couldn't possibly be unaware of these things, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded instinctively. She knew all of this already. However, she couldn't see how this related to her betrayal of the Spirit Hall.
"These aren't secrets, but what do they have to do with me?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled. She was deeply involved and thus confused, while those looking from the outside had a clearer view.
She couldn't discern any issues at all.
"Miss Bibi Dong, when you were with Yu Xiaogang, did you spend more time reading books or was he the one who did?" Focalors turned her head and asked Bibi Dong.
She understood the situation now. So, Bibi Dong had encountered a scoundrel!
He simply didn't like her. Maybe there was a bit of a spark, but his mind was set on becoming a spirit master.
She was just a key, a key to unlocking the Spirit Hall's library!
Bibi Dong fell silent, her eyes hollow and confused.
"No, it's not possible. How could I... How could I be less than those books..."
Bibi Dong shook her head quickly, denying it. She couldn't accept that their past relationship was false. Even at the end of her life, she believed those feelings were real.
But... she was actually less important to him than those books?
Upon reflection, what Yu Xiaogang often said to her was, "Dong'er, can you help me borrow some books? They're crucial for my research on martial souls."
"Miss Bibi Dong, it seems you already have your answer."
"Qian Xunji is older and could see Mr. Yu Xiaogang's issues at a glance. Privately, he warned Mr. Yu Xiaogang..."
"Miss Bibi Dong, as the Saintness of the Spirit Hall, giving the Spirit Hall's research findings to the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect selflessly is already a betrayal of the ancestors of the Spirit Hall."
"Qian Xunji probably never blamed you for this. The elders, the rumors and gossip, he could handle on your behalf."
"But because Qian Xunji privately approached Mr. Yu Xiaogang, Mr. Yu Xiaogang was terrified and prepared to escape from the Spirit City..."
"You were also planning to deceive your teacher and run away with the hostile forces..."
"In other factions, you wouldn't have survived."
Neuvillette glanced at Bibi Dong, who looked utterly bewildered, and felt speechless.
Wasn't this woman supposed to be clever?
How could she fail to understand even this much?
Was it because Qian Xunji had shielded her so well when she was young?
Qian Xunji was indeed peculiar, making such decisions that kept Bibi Dong in the Spirit Hall.
He could have simply asked Bibi Dong to return the resources invested in her over the years, invalidated her two martial souls, and let her leave. Wouldn't that have sufficed? By doing so, his reputation would remain untarnished.
After a lifetime of hard work, there would be almost no blemish on his record!
From another perspective, if Qian Xunji were someone who enjoyed beauty, he wouldn't have waited until he was over sixty to choose Bibi Dong alone. There must have been reasons behind it.
After the secret chamber incident, he didn't continue to press Bibi Dong, indicating that he truly believed that using this method would keep Bibi Dong in the Spirit Hall!
Either he was foolish, or there were other reasons why Qian Xunji did such a thing.
There was definitely some sinister force pushing him from behind.
After all, the birth of Qian Renxue and the inheritance of the Rakshasa God, no matter how you look at it, there were issues!
The main reason was that a martial soul would affect a person's character. Even if someone with a six-winged angel martial soul had been ruthless in the past and used certain means to achieve their goals, their heart would never be so evil!
"No, that's not right!"
"Neuvillette, are you lying to me!?"
Bibi Dong's eyes widened in disbelief.
She knew much of what Neuvillette had said, but she simply hadn't thought in that direction.
After Neuvillette's explanation, she suddenly "saw the light" and understood!
But it was precisely because she understood that she became so frantic.
She had been wrong before!
"Miss Bibi Dong, I have no obligation to deceive you."
"If deceiving you had any benefit, killing you would be more convenient."
As these words were spoken, Bibi Dong felt the air around her chill.
Neuvillette actually openly stated that killing her...
"Hiss~"
Bibi Dong couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
If he knew so much about their past, how could he not know about her current situation?
To plainly say killing her would be easier than deceiving her!
She didn't think Neuvillette was deceiving her.
From Neuvillette's battle with Jiang Jun and Jiang Long, it was clear that he wasn't just boasting — he had the strength to back it up!
