Just then, the text on the sky began to churn again, and a brilliant golden light shone forth.
Information about the controller of Miaoyin Pavilion has finally surfaced.
[Controllers: Li Bai (Level 1 God), Gongsun Li (Level 2 God), Jing (Level 2 God)!]
The square fell into a deathly silence the moment those three names were seen.
Immediately afterwards, a series of gasps of astonishment erupted.
"What?!"
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and she gasped in shock.
"Was Miaoyin Pavilion established by Li Bai, Gongsun Li, and Jing?"
These three names were so familiar to Bibi Dong that they gave her an absurd sense of disorientation.
"Li Bai..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, the image of the white-clad man holding a wine gourd and wielding sword energy flashing through her mind.
Previously at Jialing Pass, it was Li Bai who repelled her with a single sword strike, causing her to lose face.
At the time, she thought the other party was a reclusive, peerless expert, but she never expected that the other party was actually a first-level god and one of the controllers of this terrifying intelligence organization.
Hu Liena's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Teacher, no wonder..."
"No wonder Li Bai dared to attack you; it turns out he's from the Miaoyin Pavilion, and a Level One God at that!"
Hu Liena was filled with lingering fear.
A first-rate god!
That was an existence above the mortal realm. If Li Bai had truly harbored murderous intent at that time, the master and disciple would probably have perished at Jialing Pass long ago.
Qian Renxue was also too shocked to speak.
Her gaze lingered on Li Bai's name for a moment before quickly moving down to the next two names.
"Gongsun Li, the mirror..."
Qian Renxue suddenly turned her head and looked at the two women standing behind Qian Yu.
Gongsun Li held up a maple leaf paper umbrella, her smile as bright as a flower. Her rabbit ears trembled slightly, making her look harmless, like a girl next door.
Jing, on the other hand, had a cold and stern expression. Her tight-fitting clothes accentuated her graceful figure, and she exuded an aura as sharp as shards of glass.
Qian Renxue was very familiar with these two people.
Gongsun Li was her father Qianyu's personal maid, serving him tea and water all day long, and was incredibly obedient.
Jing, on the other hand, was Bibi Dong's former best friend and frequently visited the Papal Palace.
Who would have thought that these two people who usually hang around them are actually high-ranking second-level deities?
Moreover, he is one of the three giants of Miaoyinfang!
"this..."
Qian Renxue felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
However, the shock did not end there.
The text on the sky continued to scroll, revealing an even more astonishing secret.
[The Mystic Music Pavilion is jointly controlled by three people! But in reality, there is a mastermind behind everything!]
The moment these words appeared, it was like a giant rock crashing into a calm lake.
Bibi Dong felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the words.
"What?"
"There's actually a mastermind behind this!"
Bibi Dong's voice became sharper, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
One first-level god, and two second-level gods.
Such a lineup is enough to sweep across the entire Douluo Continent, and even to rival the God Realm.
But these three terrifying figures are merely the ones in control on the front stage?
Is there someone behind them?
Is there another mastermind controlling everything?
Just how powerful must this mastermind be?
Could it be the God-King?
Or is it an existence that surpasses even the God-King?
Hu Liena trembled slightly, her eyes filled with fear.
"Teacher, the Myriad Sound Pavilion is so powerful, even stronger than my Martial Soul Empire, and it even has three deities..."
"Such a powerful force, how could there be a mastermind behind it all?"
Hu Liena felt that her worldview was collapsing.
She had always thought that the Spirit Hall was the ruler of the continent, but now it seemed that in the face of a true behemoth, the Spirit Hall was simply a joke.
Qian Renxue also frowned deeply, her shock beyond measure.
"The Myriad Sounds Pavilion, the mastermind behind it all? Who is it?!"
"To make a first-level god like Li Bai willingly submit, and to make second-level gods like Gongsun Li and Jing obey orders..."
"This person's methods and strength are simply unfathomable."
Qian Renxue murmured to herself, her gaze shifting between the sky and the thousand feathers.
Although she believed her father, Qianyu, was very strong, the mastermind behind the Miaoyin Pavilion sounded too terrifying.
Bibi Dong had recovered from her initial shock, and what followed was a strong sense of shame and anger.
She thought of Gongsun Li.
That seemingly delicate girl who always followed Qianyu.
She thought of the mirror.
That close friend who once confided in her and whom she considered her best friend.
It turns out, it was all a lie!
It turns out that these people were all pawns planted by Miaoyinfang around her and Qianyu!
Bibi Dong suddenly turned her head, her gaze piercing Qian Yu like a blade.
"Qianyu!"
Bibi Dong sneered, her tone filled with sarcasm.
"Look at the people around you."
"Gongsun Li beside you, and Jing, are both from Miaoyinfang!"
"I thought you were so charming that you could have so many beautiful women around you, but it turns out you just fell for someone else's honey trap!"
Bibi Dong felt that she had finally found Qian Yu's sore spot.
This man, although he topped the Martial Soul Ranking and seemed to be enjoying immense glory.
But in reality, he was nothing more than a pitiful wretch kept in the dark.
They are even more pitiful than I am.
After all, for a man, having his bedmate turned out to be a spy planted by someone else is an absolute disgrace.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately stared at Gongsun Li warily.
Although she also felt that something was amiss, she trusted her father more.
"Father..."
Qian Renxue called softly, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
She believed that Qianyu would not be fooled by the so-called honey trap, but Gongsun Li's identity was indeed a big problem.
If this is just a conspiracy against my father...
Despite Bibi Dong's mockery and Qian Renxue's concern, Qian Yu remained calm.
He didn't even lift his eyelids, merely glancing at Gongsun Li indifferently.
Gongsun Li sensed her master's gaze, playfully stuck out her tongue, and then looked at Bibi Dong with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Cai Wenji, sitting on her erhu (a two-stringed bowed instrument), swung her short legs and looked on with amusement.
These two girls showed absolutely no sign of panic at having their identities exposed.
It was they who had strange expressions, as if they were watching a clown putting on a great show on stage.
Seeing that Qianyu was silent, Bibi Dong assumed that she had touched a sore spot.
The resentment in her heart dissipated considerably, replaced by a sense of vengeful pleasure.
What? Speechless?
Bibi Dong took a step forward, her aura becoming even more imposing.
"This Gongsun Li is a spy. She must have instigated your divorce, right?"
"Qianyu, do you regret making Gongsun Li your maid? Do you regret divorcing me?"
