During this long period of time together, Shi Ye has always treated Tang Nian wholeheartedly, and his sincere and deep feelings are beyond words.

Tang Nian is not a heartless person. Even if she is really a cold and hard stone, if she is protected by warmth for a long time, it will eventually melt. What's more, she is a living person with seven emotions and six desires.

Unconsciously, Tang Nian had already been deeply moved by Shi Ye.

Because of this, when she finally learned of Tokiya's true identity, the shock and pain she felt in her heart were beyond imagination, as if she was pierced by thousands of arrows and felt like she was dying.

After all, the feeling of being cheated by a random person on the street and being cheated by the person you hold dearest to your heart are different.

Tang Nian had no way to accept all this. She seemed to have suffered a severe shock. At this moment, she didn't know how to face Shi Ye in front of her.

On the one hand, there is A Yin, who is not only Tang Hao’s wife, but also Tang Nian’s biological mother.

If Ah Yin had not encountered that misfortune and had not left this world, then Tang Hao might not have suffered such a heavy blow.

The relationship between the couple has always been very good. If they could grow up in such a loving family environment, Tang Nian and Tang San would surely grow up smoothly under the meticulous care of their mother and the solid and strong protection of their father.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on us, and reality is often contrary to our wishes.

Now, Ah Yin has left them, and Tang Nian and his brother Tang San can only depend on each other. It can be said that they have almost relied on their own tenacious will to get to where they are today.

For Tang Hao, Ah Yin is everything in his life, and his love for Ah Yin is so deep and passionate.

When the moment of losing a loved one comes, the pain is like being pierced by thousands of arrows and it is unbearable.

Although Tang Nian had never personally experienced the heart-wrenching pain of losing a loved one, she could fully imagine how painful it was.

Therefore, seeing Tang Hao become devastated because of this, Tang Nian actually understood it very well.

After all, once such unforgettable love is lost, how can you let it go easily?

However, if Qianxunji had not interfered, perhaps all the tragedies would not have happened.

Thinking of this, Tang Nian couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then slowly said, "Shi Ye, I understand that this incident has nothing to do with you directly. We were all young and ignorant at that time, but no matter what, my mother eventually passed away because of this incident. This is an unchangeable fact, so I really can't pretend that nothing happened..."

Shi Ye's hands, which were hanging at the corners of his clothes, clenched tightly involuntarily. He took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Tang Nian, it is indeed our Wuhun Hall that did something wrong in this matter. I know very well how difficult it is to transform from a beast to a human. But Nian Nian, please believe that I really don't want to create any rift between us because of this matter."

Tang Nian stared at Shi Ye with her eyes as bright as stars. After a moment of silence, she finally asked the question that had been hidden deep in her heart and made her extremely curious, "When did you know about this?"

Shi Ye opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to answer immediately, but he hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "After I first met you in the Xingdou Great Forest, I learned the truth when I returned to Wuhun City."

Tang Nian never thought that Shi Ye knew it so early. He knew the truth when they first met, but even so, he still pretended to know nothing. If she didn't ask today, Tang Nian didn't know how long Shi Ye would have kept it secret from her.

For a moment, Tang Nian felt a little sour in her heart. She didn't like others lying to her, especially when that person was Shi Ye.

However, when Tang Nian completely understood Shi Ye's true identity, she suddenly realized that many things that she had never understood or explained before seemed to have found answers all at once.

For example, why did Ju Douluo Yueguan and Ghost Douluo Guimei act ruthlessly when facing the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, but showed mercy to her.

Thinking of this, Tang Nian's doubts became stronger. She could no longer suppress her inner impulse and asked anxiously again: "Do you remember that during the long journey to participate in the All-Continent High-Level Spirit Master Competition, we unfortunately encountered the terrifying ambush of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo. However, what is puzzling is that the two of them showed mercy to you alone. Could it be... all this is because of you?"

When Shi Ye heard Tang Nian's question, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he nodded slowly and said softly: "Yes, it was indeed me who instructed them to do this."

Tang Nian widened his eyes and looked at Shi Ye in disbelief, his lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something, but for a moment his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a single word.

After a long while, she finally found her voice, but it sounded a little hoarse now, "Thank...thank you."

Shi Ye's originally tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and he just let out a long breath.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that things were not that simple, and he took a deep breath before he could even exhale completely.

Sure enough, Tang Nian took a deep breath and said in an unusually calm and firm tone, "If you need my help in the future, you can tell me at any time, but the premise is that it does not touch my personal bottom line. I will tell you the truth or help you."

Shi Ye's heart sank suddenly. He certainly understood the deep meaning behind Tang Nian's words. She was intending to draw a clear line between herself and him completely.

This is undoubtedly the situation that Shi Ye is most reluctant to see and is most afraid to face. All along, the reason why he chose to hide these truths from Tang Nian is simply to hope to avoid this point today.

Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Some lies are like shadows hidden in the darkness. No matter how hard you try to cover them up, they will eventually be exposed to the sun.

Shi Ye shook his head unwillingly, almost begging, "Xiao Tang Nian, don't be like this. Although I am Bibi Dong's son, I don't agree with everything the Spirit Hall is doing now, and I have been trying to stop it."

Shi Ye raised four fingers to the sky, "I swear to God, everything I say now is true, and I am not lying to you."
