Spirit Hall had nurtured her, but when it was time for her to repay Spirit Hall, she fell in love with a man from an opposing faction and chose to live with him, even eloping.
Wouldn't Spirit Hall's efforts in raising her have been in vain, even serving to benefit that rival faction?
Qian Xunji approached Qian Renxue and said, "People are often helpless in life. Sometimes, you can't just do whatever you want. Think about it carefully, do those women from prominent families have the right to choose their own love?"
"No, they don't. They are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, and their future is to marry for the sake of their family."
Qian Xunji said, "A princess has no right to choose love."
Qian Renxue suddenly asked, "Then me… will Xue'er also have to marry for the Qian family when she grows up?"
Qian Xunji laughed, "Hahahaha, it's probably hard to find someone worthy of you in this world. Our Qian family also doesn't need to rely on women marrying into other families to gain political leverage. Your duty, your grandfather has already told you, is to fulfill the long-cherished wish of our generations of Angel descendants, and inherit the God Position of the angel god."
Qian Renxue nodded, seemingly understanding yet not fully.
"I know you already know what happened between your mother and me. To you, it was a dream, but I can tell you clearly that it did happen, and that's why your mother hates you—because you are my child. For that, I am very sorry."
Qian Xunji said, "Both she and I made mistakes in this matter, but I don't regret it—"
"To prevent the genius cultivated by Spirit Hall for many years from benefiting others, I would do anything to stop it."
Although that incident was committed by the original Qian Xunji, since he had become Qian Xunji, he had to take the blame, even if Qian Xunji, standing in that position, wasn't bound by that system.
He would not have allowed Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang to be together, just not in the way the original body did.
When my Spirit Hall cultivates a twin spirits Spirit Master to success, preparing her to serve my Spirit Hall, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wants to poach such a talent with a level twenty-nine good-for-nothing?
Even if Bibi Dong dies, she must die in Spirit Hall.
Where was Yu Xiaogang wrong in the whole matter? To put it in one sentence: his existence itself was a mistake!
A level twenty-nine good-for-nothing came to my Spirit Hall, actually fell in love with the Holy Maiden, and even tried to elope with her?
"To achieve extraordinary great deeds, one must employ extraordinary means. You don't need to dwell on this matter too much."
Qian Xunji said, "You must remember, a strong person is not troubled by emotions."
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded.
Qian Xunji left. She sighed as she watched Qian Xunji's departing back. Although she knew the crux of her parents' conflict, Qian Renxue felt that it was almost impossible to make her father and mother reconcile.
Bibi Dong had her reasons in this matter, and Qian Xunji also had his own reasons. It was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong, but Qian Renxue agreed with Qian Xunji on one point: her mother must never be abducted by Yu Xiaogang!
After Qian Xunji returned to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, he inquired with the maid beside Bibi Dong. Upon learning that Bibi Dong had not visited the Angel Hall during this period, his doubts in his heart subsided.
He picked up the card and glanced at it: Rose Douluo. It was time to recruit her.
Qian Xunji used the card, and a vortex formed in front of it. Qian Xunji entered the vortex and arrived inside a strange space.
Upon entering here, Qian Xunji immediately knew the essence of this space!
Time and space constitute the universe; all things come from the source of nothingness and ultimately return to the state of nothingness!
Space is the foundation that carries all tangible things, and time is the eternal evolution that propels existence.
And here, it was the River of Time and Space, the location of the spacetime node in the parallel universe where Qian Xunji resided!

The scene before Qian Xunji's eyes rapidly changed. He felt the surrounding spacetime flow shifting.
He saw the future of the Douluo Continent after he was assassinated by Bibi Dong: the rise of Tang San and Shrek, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Tang San successively becoming gods, the War of Three Gods, the Shrek Seven Devils ascending, and thousands of years of evolution on the Douluo Continent.
The year 4432 was in the middle of the time period between Dou Yi and Dou Er. The Sun Moon Continent had not yet merged with the Douluo Continent, and the power structure of the Douluo Continent remained the same as before.
Spirit Hall had disappeared, replaced by Shrek Academy, which held the supreme position in the Spirit Master's world.
The Two Great Empires, Star Luo and Heaven Dou, still coexisted, but the Heaven Dou Empire had fallen into internal strife and was increasingly facing a crisis of division.
Before the arrival of the powerful enemy, the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Clear Sky Sect—this series of Tang San's forces—reached their peak on the Douluo Continent.
But at the same time, a discordant force appeared on the Douluo Continent.
Evil Soul Master!
Evil Soul Masters, who cultivate evil arts and take crooked paths, using shortcuts to unleash their Spirit, appeared on the Douluo Continent.
They employed various dirty methods, such as devouring souls, sucking blood, and creating cauldrons, to enhance their own strength.
Wherever they went, corpses littered the ground. They had no fixed abode, hiding among the populace, and no matter how much they were suppressed or eliminated, they could not be completely eradicated.
Shrek Academy took on the great responsibility of fighting the Evil Soul Masters. However, Shrek's Sea God Pavilion enforcement team did not completely eradicate the Evil Soul Masters; they merely suppressed them whenever they emerged, and suppressed them again whenever they emerged.
Evil Soul Masters were like weeds; a prairie fire cannot burn them all, and they grow again with the spring breeze.
Qian Xunji couldn't help but sneer at Shrek Academy's actions. Why, in the era of Spirit Hall, were Evil Soul Masters present but not causing widespread chaos, whereas in Shrek's era, the problem of Evil Soul Masters had not been eradicated for tens of thousands of years?
Shrek was always treating the symptoms, but never addressing the root cause!
If you don't find the root, how can you eliminate it?
The emergence of Evil Soul Masters had two reasons. Firstly, the misuse of Evil Spirit and taking shortcuts. For example, Bibi Dong's Spirit, the Soul Eating Spider Emperor, could devour others' souls for cultivation.
If she had abused this, then she would be an Evil Soul Master, but under the guidance of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had never used the Soul Eating Spider Emperor to indiscriminately kill innocent people.
Of course, this is one reason for the birth of Evil Soul Masters—not mastering power, but being mastered by power. But the important point lies in—
The corruption of human hearts is the key reason why most normal Spirit Masters fall into being Evil Soul Masters.
