For a week, Xu Ran often visited little white, Bai Xiuxiu and the rest, sometimes with Lorelai.
Of course, every day, Xu would meet Poseissi at the seaside.
The two developed a routine, gathering by the sea, briefly together before parting again.
In a short time, he and Poseissi had formed an understanding, and the temperature of their relationship rose rapidly.
On this day, Poseissi continued to arrive at the seaside as if on schedule.
Her expression was tranquil.
Now her attitude towards Xu Ran had changed significantly compared to before.
In these days, she had Xu Ran in her heart.
At first, she did not believe it, but later she acknowledged the fact that she had a fondness for Xu Ran.
"You look very beautiful today,"
Xu Ran arrived as expected, coming to Poseissi's side.
Today, he had an end in sight for the story he was telling. He wanted to reveal Tang San's killing of Tang Chen and the sinister side of the Sea God.
It was true that Tang San killed Tang Chen.
Although it was a misunderstanding, killed meant killed.
He intended to portray Tang San as the hangman who annihilated the Hao Tian Clan, the villain who killed his own great-grandfather. When he became the ruler of the world, he would spread Tang San's infamy, ensuring that Tang San would live in agony even after death.
Tang San could only be the one crushed under his feet, reviled by the world.
"Xu Ran, shouldn't you tell me the rest of the story now?" Poseissi looked at Xu Ran, her eyes complex.
She spoke directly.
If the story was coming to an end, she had no reason to continue staying with Xu Ran.
Tang San was now at a crucial moment in the Sea God's Divine Test, and in the future, she would have to sacrifice her life to pave the way for the new Sea God.
This was his destiny.
For some reason, whenever she met Xu Ran at the seaside, it was the happiest time for her, because she could see Xu Ran and be with him.
Before, when she had not realized this, she thought she was doing it for Tang Chen.
But after so many years, how could her love for Tang Chen still be so deep?
These days, she rarely thought of Tang Chen.
On the contrary, after each parted from Xu Ran, it was difficult for her to settle down and cultivate. Every attempt to meditate ended in failure because Xu Ran's image filled her mind.
"Today, I won't hold back on the story anymore. I'll tell you everything you want to know," said Xu Ran directly.
Miss System had already informed him that the Sea God was about to descend.
He had to complete the mission quickly and become a Titled Douluo powerhouse.
"It's not just about Tang Chen's death but everything about the Sea God."
"Knowing these things might shock you or even overturn your former beliefs and values. Do you still want to hear it?" Xu Ran asked.
"I want to,"
Poseissi said earnestly.
She knew that perhaps the Sea God was the biggest secret Xu Ran held.
"The first thing you want to know is that Tang Chen wasn't killed by me; he was killed by Tang San," said Xu Ran.
"Tang San is mad, and by inheriting the Luo Sha Shen Wei, he's destined to be a Killing God. Even before becoming a god, his mind wasn't right, and after gaining godhood affected by the Rakshasa Attribute, he became a demon, blood-washing the Hao Tian Clan. Tang Chen, knowing that Tang San was about to annihilate the Hao Tian Clan, went to their aid, and then Tang Chen was also killed with a single punch by Tang San."
While speaking, Xu Ran couldn't help but show a hint of a smile on his face.
Whether on land or in the sea, Tang San was always the scapegoat.
"This... Tang San is Tang Chen's great-grandfather. How could he do that?" Poseissi asked in surprise, looking at Xu Ran.
Although she had vaguely guessed it, she was still shocked.
She simply couldn't understand why Tang San would do such a thing.
"The Rakshasa God, the Hell Rakshasa, is the hangman of hell. Could Tang San be a good person to be chosen as an inheritor of the Rakshasa God? Becoming the Rakshasa God, Tang San was influenced by Divine Power, his personality became more and more extreme. It's not hard to understand him doing such a thing, right?"
Xu Ran was filled with an aura of righteousness.
Whereas Tang San radiated a chilling and evil presence.
Xu Ran was naturally convincing, while Tang San could not possibly be.
This was the difference between them.
"This..."
"Do you have evidence?"
Poseissi fell silent. In fact, Xu Ran had already convinced her.
She now felt favorable towards Xu Ran, so even if he didn't produce any evidence, Poseissi would still stand by him.
But she hoped Xu Ran would not deceive her.
She hoped he wasn't that kind of person.
"Here is the evidence."
Xu Ran said, and a video appeared in Poseissi's mind.
It was the scene of the number one sect, the Hao Tian Clan.
At that moment, the place was strewn with corpses, blood flowing like rivers.
The blood dyed the land red.
The horrific sight was unbearable to witness.
In the video, Tang Chen, clad in a long robe, had an eerie aura.
As soon as he appeared, Tang San threw a punch that pierced right through Tang Chen's body.
The video ended there.
If it had lasted even one more second, it would have shown Tang San realizing Tang Chen's identity and then crying while clutching his head in agony.
But of course, Xu Ran would not foolishly include such a scene.
By selectively editing the video, if Tang San were to see it, he would definitely curse Xu Ran to no end.
Could Xu Ran also resort to such manipulative acts to tarnish someone's reputation?
Although Tang San was the one who killed Tang Chen, it was Xu Ran who was the true mastermind behind the scenes.
Both he and Tang Chen had been toyed with by Xu Ran; Xu Ran had deliberately set up this situation.
Xu Ran had first caused Tang Chen to annihilate the Hao Tian Clan, leaving Tang Chen to die in remorse and torment. Then, he lured Tang San over to kill his own close relative, his great-grandfather, leaving Tang San to live in despair.
This kind of plot was naturally something Xu Ran would not let Poseissi know about.
This blame was something Tang San would have to bear whether he liked it or not.
If Tang San didn't take the blame for annihilating the Hao Tian Clan and killing Tang Chen, who would?
Eventually, he had to marry Tang Yuehua, and certainly, he couldn't let Yuehua know that he had annihilated her sect and killed her grandfather.
This...
Although Xu Ran felt utterly guilty towards Tang Yuehua, he was determined to eradicate the Tang family members. He could only make it up to Tang Yuehua in other ways.
"So it was really Tang San who killed Tang Chen."
"I should have known earlier, Tang San is the Rakshasa God, how could he possibly be a good person? And how could a good person inherit the Rakshasa Godhood?"
At that moment, Xu Ran's image rose infinitely in Poseissi's heart, and the only blemish vanished.
She had originally thought Xu Ran was the murderer who killed Tang Chen. Even if it was just suspicion, it still left a bad taste. Now that the truth was out, and everything became clear, the weight in her heart lifted as well.
She knew it. Xu Ran wasn't that kind of despicable and shameless person.
The truly shameless one was Tang San, killing his own sect kin as if it were justified.
Poseissi felt an immense rage in her heart; she hated being deceived more than anything in her life.
Fortunately, it was only Tang San who had deceived her, not Xu Ran. Otherwise, she didn't know what she would have done.
"Now you know I'm a good person, don't you?" Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
