Bibi Dong is not afraid of death, but she believes her death must hold some value.
To Bibi Dong, she had already died back in that secret chamber—the kind, young, and naive girl she once was. Now, the one who lives is merely a body seeking revenge!
Though somewhat shocked, Bibi Dong didn't let Neuvillette's words affect her. To her, death was just death—nothing significant.
Sometimes, living was more painful than dying.
Seeing Bibi Dong's indifferent attitude towards life and death, Neuvillette shook his head. "Miss Bibi Dong, in your heart, Mr. Yu Xiaogang should be a knowledgeable and talented martial soul grandmaster, right?"
To Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang was her moonlight, even though that moonlight had already decayed. Yet, it left an indelible mark in her heart.
Just as Bibi Dong was about to respond, Neuvillette waved his hand, continuing, "You don't need to answer that question."
"If he is a grandmaster of theory, then why doesn't he know that his own cousin's martial soul is likely a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?" Neuvillette asked rhetorically. "It's not that he doesn't know, he just doesn't want to know."
Neuvillette's lips curled slightly into a smile.
Didn't Bibi Dong want to know the truth?
Then let her know the truth!
The truth was unbearably cruel—not something someone hiding in the dark corners of the Pope's Hall could accept.
This was something Bibi Dong couldn't handle.
If she truly faced it, her worldview would collapse!
In Bibi Dong's heart, Yu Xiaogang was akin to a god descending to earth—omniscient and omnipotent.
To have Yu Xiaogang was to have the world!
She admitted that Yu Xiaogang's knowledge was impressive, as a master researcher of martial souls. Therefore, it meant that Yu Xiaogang had ulterior motives in approaching Liu Erlong!
If she didn't acknowledge Yu Xiaogang's impressive knowledge, then her belief in Yu Xiaogang would instantly collapse!
Still calling himself a grandmaster of martial souls research, yet he couldn't even see through this? What kind of grandmaster was he? With just a martial soul certificate, he could figure out that Tang San had a twin martial soul.
Could he not know that Liu Erlong might be his family disciple because in this generation there are no outsiders whose martial spirit is dragon except for one or two?
Bibi Dong fell silent, her red lips slightly parted, struggling to speak.
At this point, she had also calmed down, sinking into contemplation.
After a while, she finally turned to Neuvillette and asked, "Neuvillette, how do you know all this? You seem to know even more details than I do."
Bibi Dong's face was calm, but she was barely holding it together. She was on the verge of losing her mind!
"Does it really matter how I know?" Neuvillette replied casually.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore," Bibi Dong nodded subconsciously.
She already knew the truth. With certainty in her heart, did it really matter how Neuvillette knew?
It didn't matter at all.
Suddenly, Neuvillette seemed to remember something. His eyes lit up as he continued, "By the way, Miss Bibi Dong."
"You might want to ask the Rakshasa Goddess about it. Ask her if the reason you fell for Yu Xiaogang was because she was secretly influencing you, causing you to lose your mind."
"And also, whether Qian Xunji's actions towards you had something to do with her."
"I'm actually quite curious about the reasons behind all this, because it's been confusing me for a long time."
"The scenario where a genius girl falls for trash like this only exists in novels. I never expected you to actually do it."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong trembled all over, shaken to her core.
She looked at Neuvillette with completely different eyes now.
At the same time, Bibi Dong's eyes twitched.
He knows all this?!
He knows about her receiving the divine inheritance, but he even knows whose inheritance she received?
Truly, there are no secrets!
Wait, she obtained the Rakshasa God's inheritance after killing Qian Xunji, the old man means it was her first test if she didn't finish the test there wouldn't be any god's inheritance.
Time-wise, what Neuvillette said doesn't quite match up.
"Neuvillette, I obtained the Rakshasa inheritance only after I killed Qian Xunji. What you said..." Bibi Dong began, but Neuvillette waved his hand before she could finish.
"Is it possible that all the trials you've faced were meant to prepare you to accept the Rakshasa inheritance?" Neuvillette interrupted.
"Perhaps since the awakening of your martial soul, you've been marked by the Rakshasa."
Both of Bibi Dong's martial souls were spider-type and venomous.
If this were thousands of years in the original timeline, her martial souls alone could have spelled her doom if she hadn't joined Shrek Academy.
Wasn't this a textbook case of a dark soul master?
"If it really was controlled by the Rakshasa God, then Qian Xunji's death was somewhat unjust," Neuvillette continued. "At most, he was coerced into committing a crime. In such a case, the punishment shouldn't have been death; he could have been sent to prison for a few years..."
Realizing his line of thought, Neuvillette paused. It seemed he had momentarily forgotten this wasn't a courtroom.
"Sorry, it's a professional habit," he added awkwardly.
Focalors and Bibi Dong remained silent, absorbing the weight of Neuvillette's words.
Neuvillette's words shattered Bibi Dong's worldview!
If Neuvillette's speculation was true, then her teacher Qian Xunji might indeed have been unfairly judged...
She knew Qian Xunji's temper and personality well after over a decade of interaction.
He was someone who placed extreme importance on his "reputation," not allowing the Spirit Hall or himself to suffer even the slightest damage to their good name.
You have to understand, Qian Xunji once helped many orphans; that era was much more chaotic than it is now.
Could such a person, who values reputation more than life itself, really do such a thing?
"Could it really be the doing of the Rakshasa God?"
Once the seed of doubt was planted, it was only a matter of time before it took root.
Even without Neuvillette saying anything, she would also go to question the Rakshasa God.
Could it be that her entire life was orchestrated?
"Let's end it here today."
Bibidong sighed and continued, "Neuvillette Focalors, thank you for coming. This is the reward I privately prepared."
After saying this, she took out a very ancient box from her storage soul device and then pushed it in front of Neuvillette.
Neuvillette and Focalors guessed correctly; the reward Bibidong took out was indeed a soul bone.
This soul bone was precisely the one Bibidong had given to Hu Liena after she lost the match in the original timeline.
For Bibidong, this head bone soul bone was not particularly useful, only possessing value as a collector's item.
That was also the reason why she took out this soul bone.
Hu Liena and the others hadn't lost yet, and Bibidong didn't believe they would.
That was also why she took out this head bone soul bone.
Although this soul bone was not as good as the champion's reward head bone soul bone, it was still a precious treasure!
A head bone soul bone of the ten-thousand-year level, even a Title Douluo would be tempted upon seeing it...
