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

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong slowly lowered her head, a look of fear immediately appearing on her face.

The scene she least wanted to see happened.

Yes, if Tang San's life were taken over by an outsider, everything that seemed illogical could be explained.

The demon beast race is a complete hoax. Demon beasts do not exist. They are all human soul masters who use costumes to disguise themselves. This is clearly a satire of Tang San in the God Realm as an imposter!

For Wang Dong'er, the Tang San in the God Realm was not her real father, so it made perfect sense that she would betray the God Realm and her family.

It matches up, it matches up perfectly.

For a moment, Ning Rongrong was filled with doubt. When exactly was the original Tang San replaced by an outsider? Was he just born? Six years old? Twelve years old? Eighteen years old? Or... the moment he became a god?

The Tang San who refused to revive Sword Bone Douluo... that shouldn't be the Tang San she's been longing for, right?

The truth is often hard to accept. What should she do? Should she report the information she just gathered to Tang San verbatim?

Ugh!

Ning Rongrong sighed. Having lived for ten thousand years, this was the first time she felt that being human was so difficult. If the information was true, she, Ning Rongrong, would not be far from death.

No way! Ning Rongrong can't just sit here and wait to die. Aren't the Shrek Seven Devils supposed to be like brothers? They were all ordered to come down to the mortal realm to investigate, and she can't bear the risks alone.

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong suddenly stood up, not even bothering to tidy her appearance, and strode out of Liyue Palace.

Watching Ning Rongrong's receding figure, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Ye Xishui's face; the fish had taken the bait.

……

The scene shifts, and Ning Rongrong kicks open the door of Youxiang Tower. Under the watchful eyes of the Youxiang Tower staff, she tightly grips the hem of her palace dress and steps into the VIP "rest" area.

Upon seeing this scene, the staff knelt down in fear, not daring to breathe. Even though their boss was a certain elder of the Sea God Pavilion, who the hell dared to be arrogant in front of this living ancestor?

Soon, Ning Rongrong arrived at the door of VIP Room No. 1. Showing no respect to Dai Mubai, she kicked open the door, crossed her arms, and coldly stared at Dai Mubai on the bed.

Dai Mubai was about to explode, but when he saw the expression on Ning Rongrong's face, his anger dissipated by more than half.

"Rongrong, go back to the Sea God Pavilion conference room and wait for me. Give me a few minutes to get dressed."

"What are you going to wear? It's a matter of life and death, and you still have the nerve to get dressed?"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong grabbed Dai Mubai's ear and forcibly dragged him out of the room.

This left Dai Mubai furious but unable to speak out. He secretly thought that if Ning Rongrong couldn't reveal any crucial information, he would definitely teach this little bitch a lesson that even Oscar couldn't stop!

……

"Ye Xishui told me... she saw in Qin Yi's remnant soul a male phantom that looked five parts like Aunt A Yin. He claimed to be the real Tang San, and that the Tang San in the God Realm had taken over his life."

"Then, what does that have to do with us? Everyone in the Shrek Seven Devils knows that even before Tang San awakened his martial soul, he started working on creating hidden weapons like sleeve arrows. Even if Tang San's life was replaced, the Tang San we know is the replaced Tang San. The Shrek Five Devils have never changed their allegiance."

Dai Mubai was unaware of the seriousness of the situation and was still arguing with Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong scoffed, "Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai, you've lived for ten thousand years, how can you still be so naive? What we think is our business, what others think is their business. We Shrek Five Monsters may not care who we serve, but Tang San can't possibly not care what his subordinates think."

"Use your filthy brain and think about this carefully. If you were the Star Luo Emperor, would you allow your subordinates to know your deepest secrets?"

From beginning to end, Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai never doubted the information provided by Ye Xishui, because... they had already had their suspicions.

Whether it's the Mysterious Heaven Skill or Guanyin's Tears, these so-called Tang Sect secret techniques are not things that Tang San can access at all; they are more like innate abilities.

Tang San either reincarnated with memories of his previous life, or he took over the life of the original Tang San through possession.

The truth is often not important. Perhaps Tang Hao had already suspected something, but from the moment Tang San destroyed the Spirit Hall and became the dual god of the Sea God and the Asura God, he regarded Tang San as his true son.

After a moment of silence, Dai Mubai said impatiently, "Rongrong, I still think you're overthinking it. If everyone knows it, is it still a secret? Tang San is a bit petty, but based on what I know of him, he wouldn't be wary of us over such a small matter, unless you're deliberately hiding the truth and looking for trouble!"

Ning Rongrong sneered, "You've only had a few good days and you've already become an optimist? Heh, this doesn't seem like the Dai Mubai who, fearing his brother's pressure, abandoned his fiancée and fled all the way to the increasingly decadent Heaven Dou Empire."

"Don't forget, we're not just Tang San's comrades-in-arms, but also Wu Tong's uncle and aunt. No matter how well we complete every mission Tang San gives us, our godhood levels won't change even after millions of years. Is it worth betting our entire future on Tang San?"

"Ning Rongrong!"

Dai Mubai slammed his fist on the table several times, staring in Ning Rongrong's direction, and roared through gritted teeth, "Can't you calm down? Tang San has always been a person who holds grudges but doesn't remember favors. What kind of storm can a mere second-level god like you stir up?"

"I know you're angry. Tang San's failure to revive Sword Bone Douluo is a lifelong regret for you, but as the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils... I can't just stand by and watch you court death!"

Dai Mubai stared at Ning Rongrong with bloodshot eyes and heavy breathing.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

Dai Mubai has many flaws, but he's not entirely without merit. At the very least... during the Soto City period, he never put on airs like a rich young master in front of Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, and he treated these brothers with utmost kindness and loyalty.

Even if he didn't consider Ning Rongrong his sister, she was still his brother Oscar's wife. Men tend to be more rational, while women tend to be more emotional. In this situation, Ning Rongrong might lose her head, but he, Dai Mubai, absolutely could not! (End of Chapter)
