In the grand halls of Spirit Hall, the atmosphere was thick with a mix of confusion and shock. Hu Liena, the young disciple of the Supreme Pontiff, looked at her teacher with a dazed expression. She hadn't quite processed the weight of the secrets being revealed in the chat. She looked up and asked, "Teacher, do they really mean that using a drug on Su Yan would make him that angry? I mean, Su Yan wouldn't actually go as far as killing someone over something like that, would he?"
Bibi Dong's face was incredibly awkward. She felt a mix of embarrassment and frustration that her own disciple was asking such blunt questions about such a scandalous topic. She frowned deeply and replied in a sharp, deep voice, "Shut up! You're far too young to be worrying about such things. Why are you asking so much about matters that don't concern you?"
Despite her harsh words, Bibi Dong was secretly a bit dazed herself. She couldn't help but wonder if their evaluation of that little bastard Su Yan was actually correct. Was his influence and knowledge really that vast? She stared at the glowing screen of the group chat as new messages began to flood in, detailing a history that seemed too wild to be true.
Su Yan began to type out the story of the past: "After Long Xiaoyao had a comfortable night, he woke up to see Ye Xishui holding a sword. She was actually preparing to commit suicide out of shame. Long Xiaoyao managed to stop her just in time. At that exact moment, Mu En's voice came from outside the room. What followed was a disaster. The two brothers turned against each other right then and there. Ye Xishui, feeling a mix of shame and indignation, fled the scene immediately."
Su Yan continued to explain the different perspectives of the event: "In Long Xiaoyao's version of the story, he was convinced that Ye Xishui had mistaken him for Mu En in the dark. He truly believed that Mu En hadn't touched Ye Xishui yet, which is why he thought she had placed an aphrodisiac in the room to speed things along.
He believed he just happened to stumble into the room by mistake and ruin everything. So, this idiot Long Xiaoyao went through his whole life thinking he was the one who had wronged both Ye Xishui and Mu En. In reality, he was kept in the dark the entire time."
The truth, as Su Yan revealed, was far more calculating: "Then we have Ye Xishui's version, which is the actual truth. The person she liked from the very beginning was actually Long Xiaoyao. To her, Mu En was nothing. Not only was he being cheated on, but being with him for an entire year wasn't even as good as a single night spent with Long Xiaoyao.
You see, Ye Xishui was a member of the Holy Spirit Cult from the start. All of this was a plan forced upon her by Old Ghost Zhongli. He made her deliberately choose Mu En so she could split the Black and White Dual Dragon brothers apart. In the end, she didn't just complete the mission perfectly; she also secretly gave birth to Long Xiaoyao's child."
The revelations didn't stop there. Su Yan added more shocking details: "The descendant of that child later awakened Ye Xishui's second spirit, the Radiant Phoenix. That child joined Shrek Academy and was eventually discovered by Mu En.
Ironically, Mu En took him in as a disciple. That person is none other than Yan Shaozhe. Later, before Old Ghost Zhongli died, he forced Ye Xishui to bear him a son as well. This son grew up to be the current Sect Master of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Wu."
The group chat fell into a brief, stunned silence before the members began to react.
Yanzi is not a Swallow typed: "I'm honestly speechless. This is some high-level drama right here. It really is a case of one phoenix playing two dragons! That is just wild."
Cat in the Shadows added: "This story definitely requires a lot of brains to follow. Ye Xishui is truly impressive in a terrifying way. Managing to play both sides like that was a total kill."
Group Member No. 9 chimed in: "Now I finally get it. The reason Ye Xishui suddenly used that drug was probably because she was worried Long Xiaoyao's will was too strong. She needed to make sure the plan didn't fail, so she left nothing to chance."
In the future era of the continent, at Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao was also completely dumbfounded. She stared at her communication device, unable to believe what she was reading. This tea was truly explosive, and it involved people she knew and respected.
Dark Avenger commented: "Looking at it this way, Sister Xiao Tao's teacher's grandfather, Long Xiaoyao, is really a huge sucker! He spent his life feeling guilty for something that was planned against him."
Tang Yuehua disagreed: "I think Mu En is the real sucker here. At least Ye Xishui gave Long Xiaoyao a child and some genuine affection. She only left Mu En with a green hat and a lifetime of lies."
Zhang Lexuan could only post question marks, clearly overwhelmed by the messy history of the academy's predecessors.
Big Cat in the Shadow joked: "I'm going to die laughing. You might as well look at it from another perspective. Mu En possessed Long Xiaoyao's beloved woman for a whole year. If you think about it, he actually made a huge profit!"
Su Yan simply replied: "666."
Bai Chenxiang added: "This tea is definitely a hundred times more explosive than the stories about Senior Bo Saixi!"
Bo Saixi, usually calm and regal, finally snapped: "Is this never going to end? I didn't even dare to speak just now, yet you're still trying to draw the fire back to me? Leave me out of this!"
Bibi Dong laughed at the screen: "I'm really going to die laughing at these stories."
However, a user named I Am an Orphan quickly shot back: "I think you'd better stop laughing, Bibi Dong. Look at Ye Xishui and look at Zhang Lexuan. Don't you feel any shame that you have elders with such good values while you act the way you do? You're truly a white-eyed wolf, you Blind Douluo!"
The chat erupted with "Hahaha!!" as everyone enjoyed the jab at the Supreme Pontiff.
Back in Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong almost fainted from sheer anger. She slammed her hand on the table. "Ah! That hateful Orphan! You deserve to be an orphan, you bastard. How can you still find a way to lecture me at a time like this? How absolutely hateful!"
Bibi Dong was half-dead with rage. She wished she could use Instant Teleportation right this second to find where the Orphan was hiding. She wanted to tear that bastard's mouth apart with her own hands.
Hu Liena watched her teacher's outburst and felt somewhat speechless. She sighed quietly to herself. She felt like her sister Xiao Xue's identity was about to be exposed soon. She wondered how many more days her teacher could keep up this cursing.
In a way, this was actually quite good. At least for now, Bibi Dong could still vent her anger by cursing at the mysterious Orphan. Once Xiao Xue's identity was revealed, the teacher would probably only be able to hide under her covers and cry when faced with Xiao Xue's direct attacks.
Su Yan wasn't finished with the Shrek Academy drama yet: "Next is the story of Yan Shaozhe's family ethics. This old boy was originally in a relationship with Feng Ling. However, it seems he was also two-timing with Xian Liner at the same time. When Xian Liner found out, she broke up with him immediately.
While Yan Shaozhe and Feng Ling were still together, something happened during their intimacy. Feng Ling's spirit completely mutated into the dark attribute. Because of this, the two of them eventually broke up as well."
The story got even more complicated: "After Yan Shaozhe broke up with Feng Ling, he didn't wait long. He immediately got together with his junior sister, Cai Meier. In a fit of rage and heartbreak, Xian Liner chose to marry her biggest admirer, Qian Duoduo. Even though she married him, she still loved Yan Shaozhe. Because of that, she never let Qian Duoduo touch her throughout their entire marriage."
Su Yan continued: "As for Feng Ling, she was eventually brought into the Holy Spirit Cult by Zhongli Wu. The two of them ended up getting together. So, suddenly, Feng Ling went from being Yan Shaozhe's ex-girlfriend to becoming Yan Shaozhe's second aunt because of his family connection to the cult's leadership. Finally, we have Ma Xiaotao.
At Shrek, she was treated like a daughter by Yan Shaozhe. But in the Holy Spirit Cult, she was treated like a daughter by Feng Ling. This means Ma Xiaotao went from being Yan Shaozhe's disciple to becoming his peer and younger sister. Xiao Tao really won big in the seniority department!"
The chat was filled with laughter again.
Wang Dong commented: "Now I finally understand. How can the Evil Spirit Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult ever be wiped out when everyone is related? It's all one big, messy family."
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest added: "Yes, the Supreme Leader, Ye Xishui, was Mu En's old flame. He probably couldn't bring himself to wipe her out, right?"
Red Dust Dream Dream Dream noted: "One Supreme Leader, two Elders, and two Holy Maidens. They have it all."
Tang Yuehua joked: "It's like having five blessings at the door!"
Yanzi is not a Swallow tagged the fire phoenix: "Xiao Tao, come out and tell us how you're feeling right now? Give us your thoughts!"
Group Member No. 9 laughed: "It's Xiao Tao's super generation jump! She's climbing the family tree!"
Nine Treasures Little Princess added: "Hahaha!!"
Ma Xiaotao finally replied, clearly annoyed: "I... you old, improper bastards! Stop talking about me!"
Dark Avenger then changed the subject: "Well, everyone has had their fun eating melons and listening to gossip. So! Next, isn't it finally time to eat the melons of the Administrator, our little Kitty?"
As soon as those words appeared, everyone in the group chat immediately became even more excited. The focus shifted entirely to the quietest member.
Zhang Lexuan typed: "+1."
Ma Xiaotao added: "+10010."
Bo Saixi joined in: "Eat them ruthlessly! Don't hold back!"
Bibi Dong agreed: "Immediately. Let's hear it."
Hu Liena asked: "Kitty, are you ready for your turn in the spotlight?"
Liu Erlong spoke up: "Zhu Zhuqing, since everyone is calling your name to hear your secrets, don't be 'Cat in the Shadows' anymore. Why don't you just change your name to something more honest?"
Tang Yuehua said: "I agree with that!"
Yanzi is not a Swallow giggled: "Hee hee, are we really going to eat melons in front of the person involved again? This is the best part!"
Group Member No. 9 cautioned her: "You're still laughing? How many more days do you think you can hold out before it's your turn?"
Yanzi is not a Swallow replied boldly: "When it's finally my turn, I'll change my name for you guys myself! I'm not afraid."
Hu Liena praised her: "Yanzi is so generous! I can't wait."
