"Forget it. I overestimated him."

"Not to mention that hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit—whether it was the Blue Silver Emperor or Bibi Dong, hadn't they all been toyed with by Tang San's group in their past lives?"

Qian Renxue shook her head, deeply moved by the thought.

Just like Bibi Dong. She always styled herself as intelligent and powerful, yet she had been played so thoroughly by Yu Xiaogang, that world-famous good-for-nothing, that she lost all sense of direction.

In the end, she became Tang San's stepping stone and met a miserable death.

In Qian Renxue's eyes, only Luo Ye and Xue Er were intelligent in this world. Everyone else was brainless.

"Still, after seeing Luo Ye's new diary entry, those three will surely restrain themselves somewhat and think of more suitable ways to get closer to him."

"If that happens, Luo Ye probably won't be staying at Shrek Academy much longer. If possible, perhaps I can try to bring him to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. That way, I'll be able to obtain points steadily as well."

Qian Renxue's thoughts raced as she came up with a plan.

"It wouldn't be suitable for me to step forward personally, but I can act as the force behind the scenes and guide Ning Fengzhi to invite Luo Ye, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu to Heaven Dou Royal Academy under the pretext of bringing Ning Rongrong back."

"Given Ning Fengzhi's fondness for investing in geniuses, once he learns of Luo Ye's talent, he definitely won't let the opportunity slip by."

Qian Renxue was highly decisive. The moment she made up her mind, she acted, leaving her chambers at once and heading for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Besides being the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, she was also Ning Fengzhi's disciple.

As Ning Rongrong's senior brother, it was perfectly reasonable for her to show concern about where her junior sister was, wasn't it?

And as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, having heard that Shrek Academy was an utterly trashy and filthy academy and not wanting his junior sister to be led astray was perfectly normal too, wasn't it?

Qian Renxue was not the only one who thought Xiao Wu had no brains.

Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King and Co-lord of Soul Beasts, found Xiao Wu even more foolish.

"Hmph! No wonder she was schemed into sacrificing herself by Tang San in her past life. Even the Vast Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were dragged down with her. That rabbit really is an idiot!"

"Her mind in her past life was probably filled with nothing but love and romance, which was why she was deceived so thoroughly. And it wasn't just Xiao Wu—even the Blue Silver Emperor was the same!"

"With nothing but these useless parasites dragging me down, no wonder I ended in failure in my past life."

Gu Yuena selectively forgot about her unwavering devotion to Luo Ye in her "past life."

Besides, in her view, even if she truly had fallen in love with Luo Ye in her past life, at least Luo Ye was not like Tang San. He had done everything he could to help her change the fate of the soul beast race.

Even if they had ultimately failed, it had still been an honorable defeat.

Unlike Ah Yin and Xiao Wu, who had been blinded by so-called emotions and cast aside even their brains.

All that could be said was that Gu Yuena did not know what she was truly like in the original work. If she did, she would understand what it meant for a boomerang to hit herself.

"With Xiao Wu's pitifully weak intelligence, staying beside someone as perceptive as Luo Ye will make it easy for her to expose something unusual. It seems this king must act personally."

"But now is not the time. Only after Luo Ye leaves Shrek Academy will this king find a reasonable excuse to approach him."

"This king wishes to find Luo Ye only to obtain more points, so that my injuries can recover as quickly as possible and I can have some confidence when facing the God Realm in the future. It is absolutely not for any other reason!"

A thoughtful look appeared in Gu Yuena's violet slit pupils as she muttered, "So, what reason can I use to stay by his side without letting Luo Ye notice anything unusual?"

Spirit Hall, Pope Hall.

"Teacher, since Luo Ye said in the diary that his rebirth might trigger a series of changes, causing many things to develop differently from their paths in the past life—"

"Doesn't that mean that when he is preparing to leave Shrek Academy, we can go straight to him and invite him to join our Spirit Hall?"

Hu Liena's eyes shone brightly. As though she had finally found the long-sought solution, she cried out to Bibi Dong excitedly.

Bibi Dong thought it over and felt that Hu Liena did have a point. But what reason should they use to approach Luo Ye?

"That may be true, but have you considered what reason we should use to find him?"

"Given our identities, we absolutely should not have any dealings with him as he is now."

Hu Liena calmed down at those words. After a moment of silence, however, she suddenly raised her joined index and middle fingers.

"Ah, I have an idea."

"Luo Ye has said many times that you still haven't seen Yu Xiaogang's true nature, so you naturally still cherish the relationship you once had with him."

"And according to Luo Ye, Yu Xiaogang will soon go to Shrek Academy as a teacher. When the time comes, you can use visiting Yu Xiaogang as a pretext, while actually bringing Luo Ye back to Spirit Hall."

Hu Liena's voice grew quieter and quieter. In the end, she wisely shut her mouth.

Because she could clearly feel her teacher's gaze gradually turning cold and sinister, as though it were about to pierce through her body.

Bibi Dong laughed in extreme anger and said coldly to Hu Liena, "Good! Very good indeed! I never expected both of my disciples to be such rebellious students, each better than the last at making their teacher angry!"

"Hu Liena, did I tell you about what happened back then so that you could mock me? Answer me!"

Hu Liena did not dare meet Bibi Dong's eyes. In a soft voice, she said, "Teacher, I wasn't mocking you. I just thought this was a suitable reason."

Ever since she had glimpsed the secret between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang through the Diary Instance, Hu Liena had constantly pestered her to learn the details.

She was clearly doing it for gossip, yet she dressed it up as wanting to help Bibi Dong analyze whether Yu Xiaogang's true nature was really as Luo Ye had described.

Bibi Dong pondered it for a long time and felt that Hu Liena had a point.

Sometimes, those involved could not see as clearly as onlookers. It was no big deal to let Hu Liena help her analyze it.

After hearing Bibi Dong's account, Hu Liena became even more certain that Bibi Dong had been deceived by Yu Xiaogang's disguise.

Yu Xiaogang was capable of such vile behavior as publishing the martial soul theories summarized by generations of Spirit Hall experts without authorization, then putting only his own name on them.

How could someone who sought fame through deception possibly be as noble and upright as Bibi Dong claimed?

After the successive denials from her two disciples, Luo Ye and Hu Liena, even though Bibi Dong still held onto a trace of fantasy regarding Yu Xiaogang, she no longer believed in him as unquestioningly as before.
