Chapter 309 Qian Renxue's Sorrow
After Yang Podi asked this question, Qian Renxue seemed to fall silent and began to review her interactions with Yang Podi over the years, especially the transactions they had made back then.
At that time, Yang Podi was very weak. In fact, the entire Po clan was very weak in his eyes. His family only had one Soul Douluo, who was an ant that could be crushed at any time.
But unbeknownst to them, the Po clan developed beyond everyone's imagination, starting with the birth of the first Title Douluo and gradually becoming a behemoth.
Qian Renxue recently spent some time at Tianxing Academy. Although she couldn't ascertain the academy's true strength, she knew there were definitely quite a few Title Douluos. Besides Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Yang Zhentian, and Dugu Bo, there were undoubtedly many other Title Douluos. At least Ye Lingling, a Title Douluo specializing in healing, far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Back then, both the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and the entire Almo Mountain were basically gifts that Yang Podi received personally. It was through these things that Yang Podi distanced himself from all the vortexes and avoided the Soul Hunting Operation of the Spirit Empire and the attempts to win him over and suppress him by the Upper Three Sects.
In a sense, the past two decades have been an era of development for Tianxing Academy, with a development speed that has far exceeded the imagination of the Spirit Hall.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's heart began to grow cold. She had unknowingly cultivated such a terrifying opponent.
In particular, over the past twenty years, Tianxing Academy has not made any enemies with any forces. Even the Spirit Hall and Haotian Sect, which had targeted the Po Clan in the past, have had their relationships with them undergo extremely subtle changes without anyone noticing.
Under Yang Podi's leadership, the Haotian Sect was completely wiped out. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which once crushed the Po Yi Clan, could only rely on the Tianxing Academy to survive. Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall, which had a blood feud with them, had unknowingly come to regard Yang Podi as its greatest ally and even obeyed his every word.
After Yang Podi secretly did all this, he didn't make any enemies. Even the current ferocious beast clan only targets the Martial Soul Empire, and Tianxing Academy seems to be invincible forever.
Qian Renxue spoke with a chilling tone, "Are you saying all this to show off your powerful planning skills, or to demonstrate your extraordinary talent?"
Yang Podi sighed, "Is this all you've thought about after all this time? You're a chosen one, believing yourself to be unparalleled in talent and backed by unmatched power. Have you even considered how you're going to deal with your enemies?"
"You may seem ruthless and decisive, but you don't have real experience in life-or-death battles. You're more like a flower in a greenhouse, never having seen the darkness and killing in the world, nor do you have real experience in fighting enemies."
Qian Renxue quickly interrupted Yang Podi, saying, "You underestimate me. When I was infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire, I was just as ruthless."
Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh: "Your infiltration of the Heaven Dou Empire was a joke. You infiltrated for so many years, and besides killing those princes, what did you actually do? Did you bring any powerful geniuses or forces to the Spirit Hall? Did you help the Spirit Hall eliminate any rivals? Besides making enemies for the Spirit Hall, what else did you do?"
"If you had used that time to cultivate, your soul power level would definitely not be just a mere level ninety-five now. If you were ruthless and decisive enough, you would already be the crown prince back then. You could have gone all the way and eliminated Emperor Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, and Prince Xue Beng. As long as you destroyed the Heaven Dou royal family, you would be the sole emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Why would all those things have happened later?"
Qian Renxue seemed somewhat unwilling: "But the situation in the Heavenly Dou Empire was too complicated at the time, and I dared not act rashly."
Yang Podi countered, "What's so complicated about it? Back then, you had Ning Fengzhi's support and the Spirit Hall behind you. If you had directly slaughtered the Heaven Dou royal family, you would have been the sole heir to the Heaven Dou royal family. Instead, you hesitated and stammered for the sake of your reputation, which was a complete waste of time and resources."
Qian Renxue thought carefully for a moment before speaking: "Is this the difference between you and me?"
Yang Podi shook his head and denied it: "This is not a matter of disparity, but a matter of responsibility. My people are my responsibility. For my people, for my own development and the improvement of my strength, I can stop at nothing and even take all kinds of extreme measures."
"The Clear Sky Sect has humiliated me. I can endure the humiliation, or I can use any means necessary to collude with the Spirit Empire to eradicate the Clear Sky Sect. Even if I know that my grandfather and maternal grandfather cannot do it, I will still completely eliminate this potential threat."
Qian Renxue gave a bitter smile upon hearing this: "Do you even know what kind of life I've lived since I was a child? My father died early, my mother disowned me, and I only had my grandfather to rely on. To prove myself, I infiltrated the Heavenly Dou royal family at a young age, scheming against all sorts of people. This is my fate."
A fierce glint flashed across Yang Podi's face: "The thing I believe in the least in my life is fate. Even if it is destiny that my Po clan is destined to be an appendage of the Haotian Sect for life, I will fight to the death to find my own way out."
"What you're saying is just escapism. Do you really understand Bibi Dong? Do you really understand your grandfather? Or even your father?"
Two lines of tears appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes, and she even became a little hysterical: "What do you know? Although that woman is my mother, she has wanted to kill me since I was a child. If it weren't for my grandfather, I would have died long ago."
Yang Podi reached out and touched Qian Renxue's exquisite face, wiping away the tears streaming from her eyes: "You understand nothing. Why would a woman be so heartless as to want to kill her own daughter? Why didn't your grandfather eliminate her when he clearly had the power? Why was she so insane as to want to become the successor of the evil god Rakshasa?"
Qian Renxue's face was covered in tears: "Why? Why did she do this? What did I do wrong?"
Seeing Qian Renxue's seemingly broken expression, Yang Podi pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her.
Everything in the world has a cause and effect. What you see may not be the truth. If you really want to know, you have to find out for yourself. Sometimes the truth may be more cruel than you imagine.
The Qian Renxue in his arms was no longer the arrogant girl she used to be; she looked more like a little girl, a little girl with a helpless expression.
Yang Podi simply comforted her quietly.
