In the Crown Prince's Mansion, Su Yan felt both amused and helpless when he saw Ye Lingling's message in the group chat.
Su Yan sent a message to the group chat saying that he thought she was right, and even if Dugu Yan had not died young, Ye Lingling was still very pitiful, so he sent her a hug. Another group member sent a hug right after him. After sending his message, Su Yan turned around and pulled Qian Renxue into his arms.
Qian Renxue was left completely speechless by his actions. She asked him why he was hugging her here while sending messages to hug Lingling in the group chat. She asked him if he was comforting Lingling or betraying her, and called him a scumbag.
Su Yan laughed quietly and kissed her on the cheek. He told her not to care about such small details because he had to leave now to pick up Dugu Yan and the others from Suotuo City.
Qian Renxue nodded gently when she heard his words and told him to go, but reminded him to return quickly.
Su Yan then mentioned that it might not be very convenient for so many people to keep entering and leaving the Crown Prince's Mansion all the time.
Qian Renxue thought about it for a moment and replied that she would have Senior Porcupinefish arrange a large mansion for him nearby.
Su Yan gave Qian Renxue another kiss before turning around and walking out.
Meanwhile, in Suotuo City, Dugu Yan and her companions quickened their steps until they finally reached Shrek Academy.
Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling and spoke with a helpless expression, saying that Ye Lingling was the one spreading rumors about her today, so she did not understand how Ye Lingling was the one getting comforted in the end.
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Lingling with curiosity and asked if having no friends was truly that sad.
Dugu Yan shook her head lightly and explained that Xiao Wu did not understand what Ye Lingling meant, because with Ye Lingling's quiet nature, she rarely spoke to anyone at all, and her background was indeed very tragic, which Xiao Wu would learn more about tomorrow.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Lingling, thought for a moment, and said she believed Ye Lingling's true personality was probably like how she acted in the group chat, and that something bad must have happened in her past to make her become the way she was today.
Dugu Yan nodded her head in agreement.
As the group walked deeper inside Shrek Academy, they all felt that something was wrong. The entire academy was completely silent and empty, looking as if everyone had abandoned the place.
Xiao Wu looked around at the others and came up with a sudden thought, asking if those people could have run away.
Dugu Yan was completely stunned by the idea.
Ah Yin turned toward Chi Wang and asked if it could still sense the smell of the people who used to stay in this place.
Chi Wang shook its three heads and replied with a soft bark, saying that everyone was gone, and judging by the remaining smell, they must have left a long time ago.
Dugu Yan immediately became anxious upon hearing that news. She felt very angry because after being talked about by everyone today, it was finally supposed to be her turn to beat up Tang San, yet he had actually run away.
Dugu Yan quickly posted in the group chat, telling everyone the bad news that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had run away.
Everyone in the chat responded with confusion.
Ma Xiaotao replied that if she were Tang San or Yu Xiaogang, she would have run away long ago too.
Dark Avenger laughed out loud in response.
Bai Chenxiang agreed with Ma Xiaotao, saying she would have fled as well.
Ling Luochen added that since the group came every single day to trouble them, nobody could possibly endure that kind of treatment forever.
Bo Saixi commented with a laugh that they bullied Tang San and Yu Xiaogang every day, and now that they had scared them away, they had no one left to beat up.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress complained that she had not even gotten the chance to hit Tang San yet.
Gu Yuena asked if they needed her to go out and help search for the runaways.
Ning Rongrong suggested that they should just ask Su Yan about it, because there was no way Tang San and the others could ever escape from Su Yan's control.
Over at Blue Tyrant Academy, Ning Rongrong sent her message and felt a bit confused, wondering why Yu Xiaogang and his group had suddenly decided to run away.
Liu Erlong almost died of laughter upon hearing this. She posted that besides owing eighty thousand gold coins, those guys got beaten up every day, so anyone in their right mind would run away.
Bibi Dong had a strange expression on her face. As she thought about them running away, she suddenly had a feeling that Yu Xiaogang and his group were actually heading straight toward Liu Erlong.
Thinking about this possibility made Bibi Dong laugh out loud in the chat.
Everyone was confused and wondered why Bibi Dong was suddenly so happy.
Bo Saixi asked her why she was laughing.
Wang Dong guessed that since Yu Xiaogang was finally not getting beaten up anymore, it was only natural for Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff to feel happy.
Liu Erlong agreed, saying Wang Dong was completely right.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest warned Wang Dong not to drag her into trouble when Bibi Dong came to beat her up next time.
Wang Dong replied casually that it did not matter because Bibi Dong did not even know who she was.
Ning Rongrong laughed hard and asked if they really thought Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff and herself were like Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan.
Both Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan sent question marks in response.
Dark Avenger asked his teacher if she already knew the true identity of Cute Dong.
Ma Xiaotao wondered aloud how she could ever be compared to Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan asked Ma Xiaotao if she was currently in the Inner Court, saying she was coming over to find her so they could discuss a few things.
Bibi Dong then asked the group if anyone actually knew who she was.
Liu Erlong called her Blind Douluo.
Bibi Dong instantly slapped Liu Erlong on her backside.
Liu Erlong was completely speechless, asking the old woman if she had some strange hobby and why she always liked slapping people on the rear.
Huo Wu posted that Bibi Dong was her idol, the great Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
Ning Rongrong then asked the chat who she herself was.
Huo Wu called her a Little Witch.
Ning Rongrong asked why she could not be Huo Wu's idol instead.
Huo Wu scoffed and said Ning Rongrong was still very far from being anyone's idol.
Ning Rongrong challenged Huo Wu to come to Blue Tyrant Academy right now so she could show her how to convince people with virtue while using only one hand.
Bibi Dong then stated that to be honest, she had not only guessed Cute Dong's true identity, but she also had an even bolder guess that would shock everyone completely.
The group reacted with endless curiosity.
Tang Ya and the others all turned to look at Bibi Dong with wide, surprised eyes, asking what she had guessed and why she made it sound so extreme.
Liu Erlong asked the old woman if she really needed to exaggerate things so much.
Bibi Dong just smiled gently and chose to stay silent.
Wang Dong sent question marks, showing her disbelief.
Bibi Dong replied in the chat that she could not reveal it just yet, but her guess was extremely bold and was something even Cute Dong herself did not know yet, adding that if she spoke the truth right now, Cute Dong would be the very first person to suffer a total breakdown.
Ma Xiaotao asked if that was really true.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest asked the Supreme Pontiff if she was being far too dramatic.
Wang Dong stated that she simply did not believe it at all.
Bibi Dong laughed out loud again. She called out to Su Yan in the chat, asking him to come out and tell everyone if her guess was correct, and whether it would truly cause Cute Dong to break down completely.
At that moment, Su Yan and Little Monkey were riding the Somersault Cloud and had almost arrived at Suotuo City.
When Su Yan saw Bibi Dong's message in the group chat, he was thoroughly shocked. He could hardly believe that she had actually figured it out.
Su Yan replied to Auntie Supreme Pontiff, asking if she had truly guessed the whole truth.
Bibi Dong answered that she was mostly sure, and that all the clues had been gathered from the information he had shared earlier.
Su Yan gave her full praise for her sharp thinking.
Ning Rongrong worriedly posted that it was over for her because she had not guessed it yet, so she needed to think carefully about it today.
Wang Dong stated that she did not even understand what they were discussing, and even if they had guessed her identity, she did not see what could possibly be so shocking about it.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest agreed, wondering the same thing.
