Chapitre 683: Chapter 681: The Truth, Bi Bidong's Relief_1
"Hmm?" Qian Renxue pushed the door open, she was somewhat surprised.
At that moment, Bi Bidong's cheeks were flushed, her long hair casually spread out around her, and she looked a bit weary.
What's going on?
Qian Renxue was taken aback.
She had never seen Bi Bidong like this before and always felt it was a bit strange.
"I've been a bit tired recently, so I just went to sleep," Bi Bidong said, her face reddening when Qian Renxue looked at her, her eyes dodging. But she still breathed a sigh of relief. If Qian Renxue had discovered Xu Ran, her expression would definitely not be like this.
For her now, the fact that Xu Ran had not been discovered was already a great relief.
"I won't interfere with your affairs. Do whatever you want. I came this time to ask you for the control of the Martial Soul Hall."
"The Martial Soul Hall has always belonged to my Qian Family. Previously, I was too young, and you, as the Pope, had to take control of the great powers of the Martial Soul Hall. Now that I've returned, this position should belong to me. I hope you'll know better than to keep clinging on and just step down. Otherwise, if this escalates, it won't end well for either of us," Qian Renxue went straight to the point, looking at Bi Bidong's familiar yet unfamiliar face, with a touch of resentment in her heart.
Before she came, she had thought of many harsh words to say to Bi Bidong.
Bi Bidong had never shown her any loving care as a parent and had ruthlessly sent her to the Tiandou Empire to undertake a Mission. Bi Bidong claimed it was a Mission, but even then, Qian Renxue understood that Bi Bidong simply found her to be an eyesore in the Martial Soul Hall.
After she left the Martial Soul Hall, those elders loyal to the Qian Family had no choice but to select her as the Spirit Hall Pope.
In her eyes, Bi Bidong was a vile person blinded by ambition, disregarding even familial bonds for the sake of power.
Before coming here, she hated Bi Bidong very much.
But after seeing Bi Bidong, her heart softened, and she did not utter the harsh words, instead she straightforwardly ordered Bi Bidong to abdicate. The person before her was just an ordinary woman after all.
"Xue'er, the position of Pope, if you want to take it, then take it. It's yours whenever you want," Bi Bidong sighed, filled with boundless guilt.
She had been too obsessed and too selfish before.
The suffering she endured should have been borne by her alone; why had she dragged Qian Renxue into it too?
No matter what she had encountered, Xue'er was always innocent.
"You're sensible."
Qian Renxue's ruddy lips parted slightly, her mind reeling with astonishment.
She had assumed Bi Bidong would vehemently oppose, but to her surprise, Bi Bidong faced all this with such indifference, as if the position of Pope didn't matter to her at all.
She was somewhat incomprehensible.
If Bi Bidong didn't covet fame and fortune, why would she drive her out of the Martial Soul Hall, why send her to a place like the Tiandou Empire?
What was the reason for all this?
Wasn't Bi Bidong supposed to be that kind of person?
Qian Renxue's emotions started to waver. If Bi Bidong really was that sort of power-hungry woman, it would be easier for her to accept, but she wasn't.
Her heart felt wronged. What exactly was the reason for Bi Bidong to do such things?
Qian Renxue clenched her teeth and turned to leave.
"Xue'er, wait," Bi Bidong saw Qian Renxue walking straight out and her heart ached. Would Xue'er not even bother to exchange a few words of normal conversation with her now? But all of it was her own doing, her own fault.
"Bi Bidong, what are you trying to do now?" Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled slightly. She stood tall at the door, her beautiful eyes looking at Bi Bidong. Her heart also yearned for an answer.
"I want to talk to you, about our matters."
"I was too foolish back then, preoccupied with hatred. I hated the Martial Soul Hall, I hated the Qian Family... I even let my hatred spill over onto you. I did not want to become the Spirit Hall Pope for the power of the Martial Soul Hall, but because at that time, I just wanted to destroy it," Bi Bidong said with self-mockery.
It wasn't until now that she suddenly realized the fault was always hers, it was Brock's fault.
The love she thought she had in her rebellious years was nothing but a deception.
Brock deceived her, causing her and Martial Soul Hall to become almost enemies. She believed it was Martial Soul Hall that had ruined her, and that's why she thought of taking revenge on Martial Soul Hall.
When you are involved, you're confused, but bystanders see things clearly.
The moment she stepped out, she understood just how foolish she had been before, and how serious her mistakes were.
"What do you mean?"
Qian Renxue's expression changed dramatically; she was not an easily deceived sweet girl.
She had known back then that things weren't so simple, but she never had the chance to verify it.
And now...
Why did Bi Bidong say her heart harbored hatred, what exactly happened back then?
"Back then..."
Bi Bidong sighed, starting from when she became the goddess. But now, looking back, her eyes no longer held any hatred, only release.
She now felt that everything was predestined by the heavens.
Although the heavens had always tormented her, in the end, they let her meet Xu Ran.
Xu Ran was the love of her life, without equal.
Xu Ran was her destined true love.
If she hadn't gone through those hardships, how could she possibly be with Xu Ran now? It was fate, a fate that had to be accepted.
Xu Ran beneath her, reached out to gently hold Bi Bidong's hand, doing his best to give her a sense of security. He had crossed over a bit too late. If it had been sooner, he would never have allowed Brock to intrude into Bi Bidong's life.
The Bi Bidong of the past, like Hulena, was the Soul Hall's Saintess—innocent, romantic, and endearing.
It was the intrusion of Brock, and being tricked by him, that led to a series of setbacks for Bi Bidong, and a significant change in her personality. Now that she had personally obliterated Brock, it was time to let go of the past obsessions.
As Bi Bidong revealed the events one by one, Qian Renxue's emotions became increasingly complicated.
She finally understood why Bi Bidong had behaved the way she did towards her.
So Bi Bidong had gone through so many things before.
If it had been her experiencing those many things, she probably would have gone mad too.
"All thanks to Xu Ran, it was Xu Ran who helped me walk out of hatred," Bi Bidong said. These words were meant for Qian Renxue to hear, for Xu Ran, and for herself.
She felt the happiest thing in her life was meeting Xu Ran.
Before, she thought life was filled with hatred, but after meeting Xu Ran, she learned it could be so beautiful. When Xu Ran was not around, she would miss him, thinking about everything to do with him. When she was with Xu Ran, she cherished every minute and every second.
It was from that moment on, she put down all her dignity and pride, preferring to stay by Xu Ran's side forever as a woman without formal status just to be with him.
Even if it was only sneaking around to meet Xu Ran in secret, that was already enough.
That feeling of happiness was truly addictive.
