In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 104. Doubt and Inquiry

"Sanguo, Sanguo, what's wrong? Don't scare me, Sanguo..."

Seeing Tang San foaming at the mouth, Xiao Wu realized something was wrong. She quickly grabbed Tang San's arm and tried to drag him out of the hall, but unfortunately... with only the cultivation of a Title Douluo, she couldn't move Tang San at all.

With no other option, Xiao Wu had to take out her telepathic communication device and call her two best friends over for help.

And so, the three women struggled to lift Tang San onto the cart, using almost all their strength. It took them a full hour to push Tang San from the newly built Sea God Temple to the Temple of Life.

Don't ask where the cart came from. It was brought up from the lower realm. Tang San was riding a horse and carrying the Trident of the Sea God, but he couldn't break the horse. It's reasonable that God King Tang San can ride in a cart, right?

Inside the Temple of Life.

After examining Tang San's body, Xiao Lü looked at Ning Rongrong in front of her and said with a solemn expression, "Rongrong, did you have any conflicts with Tang San when you were in the lower realm?"

"A festival?" Ning Rongrong shook her head, looking confused, and said, "We Shrek Seven Devils are of one mind and heart, how could we possibly have a festival?"

Ugh!

Xiao Lü sighed, then waved her hand, and the wronged souls of Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo emerged from Tang San's spiritual sea.

"Daddy, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, waaaaaah..."

Upon seeing this scene, Ning Rongrong slowly knelt down on the ground, two lines of clear tears streaming down her face. Memories that had been dead for ten thousand years were awakened at this moment.

"Tang San, my good son-in-law, why won't you revive me?"

The next moment, Arou's vengeful spirit emerged from Tang San's spiritual sea, and in the vast Temple of Life... another heartbroken person appeared.

Looking at her two best friends kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, stepped forward, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect towards Xiao Lü, and said, "Life... Senior, is there a way to revive Uncle Ning, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, and Aunt Rou?"

Xiao Lü said with some helplessness, "They are not souls in the true sense of the word, but vengeful spirits who have come to claim Tang San's life. They are vengeful spirits without any consciousness. To put it bluntly, Tang San has done too many bad things, which has caused him to develop inner demons."

For the sake of the stability of the God Realm, Xiao Lü did not tell the truth, but chose to give Tang San some face.

Whether it's a vengeful spirit seeking revenge or inner demons, these are problems that cannot be solved by external forces; Tang San can only overcome this difficulty on his own.

……

Meanwhile, in the back garden of the Body Sect.

Qin Yi lay on the recliner, pointed at the little green screen, and said with a smile, "Azi, look, your mother is still trying to cover for Tang San. She'd rather lie than let Tang San lose face or his image."

Upon hearing this, Azi pouted and said unhappily, "What mother? My mother died a long time ago. I don't have a mother who grovels before Tang San."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Let's change the subject," Qin Yi said thoughtfully. "I really didn't expect Wang Dong'er to be so decisive. The moment she obtained the ability, she didn't hesitate at all and directly made her own father experience the agony of having ten thousand souls devoured."

Azi said calmly, "Your vision is truly remarkable, Master. In just one year, you've helped Wang Dong'er see through Tang San's true nature. This girl... she's not inherently wrong, her only mistake is being born into the Tang family. If you hadn't redeemed her, in this life... she would have had no choice but to be manipulated by Tang San."

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, a father who not only fails to care for his daughter when she is sad and upset, but also speaks the coldest words with a cold look in his eyes, who could stand it?"

"Also, I've said it so many times, just call me husband, there's no need to call me lord."

"Hmph, that won't do," Azi said irritably. "I can call you husband, but only if... I get to go to Tang Wulin's world. I want to drive him step by step into despair! If you can do just that, I'll willingly become your wife."

Qin Yi: "..."

Good heavens! He exclaimed, "Good heavens! You must be Enoshima Junko himself! How badly Tang Wulin has tormented you? Killing him wouldn't be enough; he had to drive you step by step into despair!"

Qin Yi said with a smile, "No problem. Once things are settled in this world, I'll take you to the timeline of the Legend of the Dragon King. You can do whatever you want with it, it's all up to you."

……

The scene shifts to Despair Academy, where Cai Meier, who is about to go to the bathhouse to investigate, is surprised to find that... Chen Yu has followed her.

"Yu'er, are you suspecting me of killing Tang Ya?" Cai Meier said with displeasure.

Chen Yu said calmly, "Aunt Cai, let's speak frankly. Any Soul Master would find it hard to resist the temptation of becoming a god. All eight of them had a motive to kill Tang Ya, and I suspect everyone involved, including Xu Sanshi!"

At this moment, Cai Meier fell silent. This was what they meant by fathers and sons killing each other and husbands and wives turning against each other. The mere opportunity to become a god was enough to cause the Tang Clan to kill each other.

Tang Ya is just the beginning, not the end!

"Let's investigate together then."

As she spoke, Cai Meier turned around and stepped into the bathhouse.

"Yu'er, do you remember who went out of our women's bath during that half hour?" Cai Meier asked suddenly, arms crossed.

Chen Yu pondered, "Based on the order in which they left, it should be Xiao Fengxian, Aunt Cai, and then me, right?"

"By the way, when I went out, I saw you coming back from the dormitory, Aunt Cai. What happened?"

Cai Meier said expressionlessly, "As you can see, there's only one stall in the public restroom, and Xiao Fengxian is in it. I have no choice but to go to the public restroom near the dormitory."

"I roughly calculated that from leaving to returning, it only took about ten minutes. Do you really think... I could move the heavy object at the door, knock on Tang Ya's dormitory door, kill Tang Ya, and then move the heavy object back in those ten minutes?"

"Don't forget, without cultivation, I'm just a weak woman like you. Tang Ya's student handbook is with Mo Lian. Do you think Tang Ya would be foolish enough to open the door for someone and be alone in a room with them under these rules?"

Chen Yu nodded, seemingly agreeing with Cai Meier's explanation, but... she felt something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Hmm... according to Cai Meier, Tang Ya wouldn't have opened the door for anyone, meaning Tang Ya couldn't have died at the hands of those eight people?
