For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely quiet.
Listening to Flender's words, Yu Xiaogang also felt a bit lost. It was fine if Flender had kept quiet, but now that he said it out loud, Yu Xiaogang felt it was truly accurate. A spiritual romance really did seem custom-made for their situation! Could this really be the strange arrangement of fate? Was it all truly destined from the very beginning?
Zhao Wuji and the other teachers, however, were completely confused.
"What on earth are you talking about? How come none of us can understand a single thing? That Slaughtering Corner of your Iron Triangle trio, Liu Erlong... is she actually a man or a woman?"
Flender said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? She's definitely a woman!"
Zhao Wuji and the others became even more bewildered.
"She's a woman? If she's really a woman, then why do you two still need to engage in some spiritual romance? Isn't there something seriously wrong with that?"
Flender let out a long sigh and said, "It's a long story. Liu Erlong... she's actually from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan too. She's a direct descendant just like Yu Xiaogang. To be exact, she's the illegitimate daughter of Yu Xiaogang's second uncle."
"What did you just say?"
Zhao Wuji and his group widened their eyes instantly in pure shock. Even Tang San looked at his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, with a face full of complete disbelief. Didn't this mean that Liu Erlong was literally his teacher's cousin?
Zhao Wuji felt completely powerless to even complain at this point. "Yu Xiaogang, you're truly a ruthless man!"
Dai Mubai and the other students also cast extremely complicated glances toward Yu Xiaogang. If it were just a distant second cousin, Dai Mubai wouldn't have said anything at all. But this guy Yu Xiaogang was somehow even more ruthless than the members of his own Dai Family!
Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened completely, and he gave Flender a very displeased look.
Flender sighed again and said, "Xiaogang, anyway, we're all going to look for her together sooner or later. Everyone was going to find out about these personal matters eventually. Zhao Wuji, you guys shouldn't overthink it either. Although Erlong is indeed the illegitimate daughter of Xiaogang's second uncle, Xiaogang didn't know her true identity when they first met."
"Oh, I see!" Zhao Wuji nodded in realization and replied, "That Liu Erlong must have Awakened her mother's Spirit instead, right?"
"No!" Flender replied very calmly. "Erlong's Martial Spirit is the Fire Dragon, which is a rare variant mutation from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
"Wait, what?"
Zhao Wuji and the others were clearly stunned upon hearing this unexpected answer. They were just about to open their mouths to say something more, but Yu Xiaogang quickly spoke up in a harsh voice to stop them.
"Flender, that's enough! Don't say any more unnecessary words."
Zhao Wuji and the other teachers finally understood everything in their minds. This Yu Xiaogang was a real waste after all. After spending so many years boasting about his research on Martial Spirits, it turned out he couldn't even recognize the mutated Martial Spirit of his own cousin! Yu Xiaogang, you're really just a total waste!
Flender looked toward Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the rest of the young students, sighing deeply as he spoke.
"You've all clearly seen the current situation at our Shrek Academy. Our teaching resources are extremely poor, and this time, the academy's official funding has been completely cut off. I thought about this carefully on our way back. Next, I plan to lead all of you to another academy so we can perform a full merger. This will definitely be good for all of your futures."
Zhao Wuji asked with a face full of utter confusion, "Merge where? Old ghost Flender, didn't we all agree to finish this term together first? Don't you want to persist with Shrek Academy anymore?"
Dai Mubai and the other students also looked at Flender with completely bewildered expressions on their faces.
Flender said helplessly, "This is truly a last resort for us. If we don't choose to merge with another established academy now, we won't even have the basic qualification to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament in two years. We leave today, so everyone should go pack their personal things right now!"
Meanwhile, inside the Blue Tyrant Academy.
After hearing Bibi Dong's detailed explanation, Ning Rongrong was also left completely stunned on the spot.
"Doesn't this mean that the Brother Xue Qinghe I've known all this time is actually Sister Qian Renxue in disguise?"
Bibi Dong nodded her head slightly in confirmation.
Liu Erlong couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "So this is what Su Yan meant before when he said that Qian Renxue's family background is very pitiable, but the bad things she has done aren't. But all of this mess is actually your own fault, Bibi Dong!"
"You're wrong!" Tang Ya spoke up with a very serious look on her face. "All of this tragedy is entirely the fault of that shameless beast Yu Xiaogang!"
She then turned her head toward the little princess and added, "Little Princess, when exactly are you going to take us to Suotuo City? I also really want to go beat up Yu Xiaogang and Tang San!"
The Big Silly Cat, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, blinked its large eyes and spoke up eagerly, "Me too, rawr!"
Ning Rongrong shook her head slightly and said softly, "I really don't know about that right now. You'll have to ask Brother Su Yan about it later!"
At this moment, Liu Erlong suddenly turned her head to look directly at Bibi Dong and asked, "Sis... Sister Dong, when are you planning on going back to Spirit City?"
Bibi Dong looked back at Liu Erlong with an amused expression: "Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?"
Liu Erlong said with a serious tone, "It's nothing much. I just want to see you off when you leave. After all, we are the best of sisters!"
She secretly thought to herself, once you bastard go back to Spirit City, just watch how I continuously mock you in the chat group.
However, Liu Erlong didn't know yet that she herself was about to face a huge ordeal of her own. Flender had already led Yu Xiaogang and the rest of the group to pack up their bags, and they were currently heading toward Heaven Dou City specifically to find her.
Time flies like an arrow, and a full day passed by very quickly.
Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion, deep within a hidden secret chamber, the Little Angel had completely surrendered herself.
"You absolute bastard! I'm not doing this anymore, I'm really not doing it. Let me out quickly! Let me out of this Secret Chamber right now!"
Su Yan said while caught between laughter and tears, "Wasn't it you yourself who said you wanted to completely purify this great evil of mine?"
The Little Angel replied very angrily, "Then you should at least pick a much better time! Ning Rongrong and the others have been waiting outside for a whole day already. You've been staying with me here for a whole day of dual cultivation; how do you think they are going to look at me when I go out?"
Suddenly, the Little Angel thought of something very important, and she instantly lost all desire to leave the room.
"I've officially become an Administrator now, which means they must all know about our true relationship already. How can I... how can I possibly have the face to show up in the Group Chat ever again? This is so hateful! If any single one of them dares to mock me later, I'll definitely bite you to death, you guy with a belly full of wicked ideas!"
Su Yan hugged the Little Angel dotingly in his arms and comforted her gently, "Don't worry at all! If anyone actually dares to mock you, I'll teach them a very harsh lesson for you. I'll beat them so hard that they won't even be able to get out of bed for three whole days and three nights."
As soon as he finished speaking those words, Su Yan turned defense into offense once again and completely suppressed the Little Angel beneath him.
Late at night.
The Group Chat, which had remained unusually quiet for the entire day, finally began to get lively once more.
Gu Yuena 1: According to the past chat history, the Group Chat will automatically upgrade tonight and distribute the new upgrade rewards, right?
Gu Yuena 2: Are these upcoming upgrade rewards going to be useful for us as well?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Sister Yue, as soon as I manage to snatch a good reward, I'll give it directly to you!
Ning Rongrong: I took you out to eat so many delicious things earlier, and you're not even planning on giving any reward to me?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Aw? Then can I just give my reward to you next time instead?
Wang Dong: There are more and more members joining the Group Chat now, so the rewards are getting much harder to snatch. When can we finally get some rewards that don't need to be snatched by speed?
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Didn't Old Ancestor Ning Rongrong already distribute some great items last time? She gave out one Level 5 spirit tool to every single person!
Wang Dong: That's very true, and Mengmeng also gave everyone a high-quality Storage spirit tool back then.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: It seems like it's finally my turn to receive the Administrator reward today. I really need to think carefully about what kind of unique Spirit Ability I should create.
Group Member No. 9: How about becoming a Healing Spirit Master just like me?
Xiao Wu: Is Yanzi crazy? Her Martial Spirit is the Jade Phosphor Serpent, so why on earth would she create a healing Spirit Ability?
Group Member No. 9: Why not?
