**Chapter 213: He Is Indeed a Ruthless Person**
Zhao Ling held little Qian Renxue in his arms and turned to Qianxunji with a serious expression.
"I'm planning to take Dong'er to that place for training this time. What do you think?"
"That place?" Qianxunji raised an eyebrow, giving Zhao Ling a curious look. "I remember suggesting it four years ago, but you refused back then. Why the sudden change of heart now?"
Zhao Ling smirked confidently, his tone full of self-assurance. "Back then, Dong'er's soul power was only level 60. It wasn't safe. But now she's at level 80, and—"
He abruptly stopped, leaving Qianxunji hanging.
Qianxunji's frustration boiled over. "What's with the suspense? Are you trying to drive me mad?"
Zhao Ling merely chuckled, refusing to elaborate. What he didn't notice was the way little Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him. 'He hasn't changed. Always loves keeping secrets, even in his diary,' she thought.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but recall the tragedies of her past life. She and her mother, Bibi Dong, were defeated by Tang San, resulting in her shattered divinity and her mother's death. The Spirit Hall was left in ruins. Her regret was endless—why hadn't she eliminated Tang San when she had the chance?
One day, while consumed by grief, she fell into a deep sleep. When she awoke, she found herself reborn as a baby.
Her father was still Qianxunji, but her mother was now Tuoba Mei, a woman from the Holy Dragon Sect. The realization left her utterly confused. 'What's happening? Is this a dream?'
Her doubts were soon shattered when the midwife, noticing her silence, slapped her gently to make her cry. The sting of pain confirmed her reality: she had indeed been reborn.
The next day, a mysterious book appeared before her, titled "Copy of Zhao Ling's Diary." Intrigued, she opened it and was greeted by a smooth, melodic male voice narrating its contents.
At first, Qian Renxue was captivated by the voice. However, the diary's content left her stunned:
'Hahaha! The system said Qian Renxue has reincarnated successfully. My three years of waiting finally paid off!'
'Tomorrow, I'll visit Spirit City to see her—and, of course, my beloved Dong'er.'
'Lately, Yin'er, Long'er, Rou'er, and Xiao Wu have been avoiding me, calling me the plague. Even Tang Wutong, who clings to me all day, is being kept at arm's length by the others.'
Qian Renxue's mind reeled. 'Who is Zhao Ling, and how does he know about my reincarnation? Could he be the reason for it?'
Her thoughts darkened when the diary mentioned "Dong'er." 'Is he referring to my mother, Bibi Dong? Could this Zhao Ling be the one who changed everything after my rebirth?'
Anger welled up inside her. She scratched at the air in frustration, drawing the attention of her nanny, who quickly scooped her up and brought her to Tuoba Mei.
Tuoba Mei, smiling warmly, kissed Qian Renxue on the cheek. "What's wrong, my dear? Why are you so upset? Mommy's here."
The tender affection melted Qian Renxue's heart. 'I never experienced this kind of love in my past life. Maybe this new life isn't so bad after all.'
Despite her newfound contentment, Qian Renxue's curiosity lingered. 'Why can't anyone else see this diary?' she wondered, noticing the book floating just in front of her.
She resumed reading, focusing on the names Yin'er, Long'er, Rou'er, and Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's name struck a chord. 'Wasn't she Tang San's sweetheart in my past life? How did she end up with Zhao Ling?'
Yin'er and Long'er were even more perplexing. 'Could Yin'er be Ah Yin, Tang Hao's wife? And Long'er… Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang's lover?'
The diary seemed to hint that Zhao Ling had connections—or relationships—with all of them. As for A Rou and Tang Wutong, she wasn't familiar with those names, but her instincts told her they were somehow tied to Tang San as well.
'Is this Zhao Ling really so ruthless? Has he claimed every woman connected to Tang San?'
Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel admiration despite her shock. 'He's bold, I'll give him that. But does he have to keep interfering with me and my mother?'
Frustrated, she mentally closed the diary. To her surprise, text appeared on its cover:
"Reward: Cumulative lifespan extended by 80 years. Aging slowed by 10%. Cultivation aptitude increased by 10%."
A warm sensation coursed through her body, confirming that the rewards were real. Her confusion only deepened. 'Who is this Zhao Ling, and how is he capable of such things?'
