Douluo: Soul Devouring Spider King

Chapter 132: Because She Gave Birth to Qian's Child

What! The child is Qianxunji's?

Wait~ This seems a bit strange?

Never mind, that's not important! What's important is that Qian Renxue was surprised at how Xiaodong guessed it.

Could it be that after reading the script and the previous conversation, she was still not satisfied and wanted to continue showing off in front of Qian Renxue to appear to be so awesome?

Commonly known as being addicted to pretending to be cool?

"No...no way..." Qian Renxue took a big sip of fresh tea, but still felt her throat a little dry. She subconsciously touched the handle of the teapot but felt something soft. It was Xiaodong's hand!

After enjoying the soft touch for two seconds, he withdrew it naturally.

Xiaodong, smiling, filled Qian Renxue's glass again and continued, "The master told me about his relationship with my mother when they were young. At that time, he turned to studying theoretical knowledge because his own soul power level was limited."

"Mother also fell in love with the master because of his erudition and talent."

"And at that time, the relationship between the two was as strong as gold, but in the end, for some unknown reason, the mother suddenly dumped the master, and they have never seen each other since then."

Glancing at the stunned Qian Renxue, Xiao Dong pondered for a moment and said, "According to the master, my mother didn't directly tell him that she was breaking up, she just sent someone to tell him."

"The master was heartbroken and left the Spirit Hall."

"But the master once said that he tried to find Mother to ask her face to face, but was driven out by the Spirit Hall staff."

Hmm? Qian Renxue didn't understand why Xiaodong mentioned this, but Xiaodong didn't answer immediately. Instead, he continued, "For several years afterwards, there was no news about my mother, as if she didn't exist in the world. But after a while, the former Pope Qianxunji died of his injuries, and my mother suddenly appeared and took the throne of the Pope..."

Xiaodong looked at Qian Renxue and thought: "The reason why I inferred that my mother had a child is because she became the Pope of the Spirit Hall."

"Is there any connection between the two?" Qian Renxue took a sip of fresh tea calmly.

"Well, before answering this question, I want to ask your Majesty Qinghe, why do you think my mother suddenly broke up with the master?"

"This..." Qian Renxue was thinking on the surface, but her heart skipped a beat, because the answer was very simple!

Qianxunji is his father!

Wouldn't that mean...

Seeing Qian Renxue hesitate to answer, Xiaodong knew that she was struggling with her conscience, so he took the initiative to say, "A young boy and girl were in love, but were opposed by their elders. They then wanted to elope for love, but were discovered, and were eventually forced to separate. This is a tragic love story."

"Isn't this a very clichéd plot in a romance story?"

Although the story is old-fashioned, it is very common in reality, especially in the Douluo Continent where martial spirit talent is above all else. It is actually very stupid that the elders look down on the masters whose talent is locked at level 29.

"Eh? Your Highness Qinghe, have you never seen this kind of romance story?"

"Ah... this... I haven't really read it." Qian Renxue stammered in response: "As the crown prince, I should be concerned about national affairs..."

Xiao Dong did not ask further questions, but nodded and said, "Then the reason for their breakup is obvious! The former Pope looked down on the Master and forced Mother to break up with the Master."

"Although we already know the result, the key point is the means of coercion!" Xiaodong raised his eyebrows: "Although I don't know what means the master used, but according to the routines of those romance novels, it is likely that he threatened to kill the master if my mother didn't break up."

"Indeed, this is a very common solution, but..." Qian Renxue bit her lip and suddenly said, "Perhaps the former Pope persuaded them with reason and emotion, and the two of them broke up peacefully?"

Xiaodong glanced at Qian Renxue who was trying to defend her dead father, sighed in his heart, shook his head and said, "Perhaps the previous pope did something like this, but found that the relationship between the two was too deep to be separated by words alone, so he had to use bad means."

"..." Qian Renxue was silent for a few seconds, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "What kind of bad method is that? If it's just a threat..."

"If it was just a simple threat or coercion, my mother would not become the Pope of the Spirit Hall!" Xiaodong ruthlessly interrupted Qian Renxue's delusion and said directly:

"My mother, who was under duress, must have always wanted to leave the Spirit Hall and look for the master, but she didn't! Not only that, she didn't even see me when we broke up. This is very strange!

Because no matter whether she was persuaded by reason, moved by emotion, or threatened, my mother would definitely choose to compromise in the end!"

"But none of these will prevent her from seeing the Master for the last time. If she can explain the reason to the Master in person, even if the Master is unwilling, there is no way to change the situation."

"It shouldn't be possible for the former pope to fail to understand such a simple truth."

Qian Renxue's expression was obviously moved: "But even if Xiaodong's analysis is correct, what does it have to do with her becoming the Pope? And... and what does the child Xiaodong mentioned mean..."

"Even if dad and that woman are not in love, they are together for the sake of interests. Everything is for the Spirit Hall. It is definitely not what I thought!"

Absolutely not!

Xiaodong glanced at Qian Renxue, but did not directly answer her question. He continued to describe:

“The master once told me that although my mother was kind and lovely like me when she was a girl, she had an extremely strong temper!

No matter what kind of coercion the former pope has, it will only make my mother resist the Spirit Hall and never give in! Not to mention working for them, it would be good enough if she didn't run away, how could she sit on the position of the Spirit Hall pope? "

"And I've also learned that the Spirit Hall has become much stronger under the leadership of Mother over the past decade..."

Qian Renxue silently sipped the fresh tea to moisten her dry throat, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Xiaodong muttered with great certainty:

"Not a beaver! Very not a beaver! Being passive and slacking off in the Spirit Hall is the most appropriate reaction for mother."

"Also, the Spirit Hall's Pope has been controlled by the Qian Family since ancient times. How could they choose a foreigner like Mom? The information says that the Grand Priest supports her, but why would the Grand Priest support Mom?"

"Because... because... the female pope has twin spirits and is the number one genius on the continent! Her future achievements are limitless, so yeah... the high priest chose to support her for the sake of the future of the Spirit Hall!" Qian Renxue gave up defending her dead father and started to defend the Qian family instead.

"Miss, your extremely obvious expression makes me wonder what to do with my smart personality~" Xiaodong's mouth twitched, but there was nothing he could do. If Qian Renxue didn't expose herself, Xiaodong wouldn't point it out. He could only continue to pretend that he didn't notice anything unusual about her.
