Bibi Dong Pretends to Be Crazy and Plays Dumb

"Wait?"

"Someone took candid photos of me?"

When Su Yan finally found a moment to check the messages in the Group Chat, he discovered that someone had secretly snapped an embarrassing picture of him riding a horse.

He had only just started riding, and his butt still was not used to it.

Huh?

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had met.

Damn.

Su Yan felt powerless to complain. He had originally thought he could keep up this identity until Shrek, only being exposed when he met them there.

But judging by the current situation, with Ning Rongrong's intelligence, she had probably already suspected him—or even identified him.

[Su Yan: The night is long, and sleep eludes me. I just refined a batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. I never expected some of you to end up together.]

[Loves Eating Carrots: Hehe.]

[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Wow, Brother Su Yan is amazing! What is a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir?]

[Su Yan: Kids shouldn't ask so many questions. Knowing too much makes it easy to get beaten up. You know what I mean, right?]

[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Haha!]

[Loves Eating Carrots: What are you laughing at?]

[Yanzi is not Swallow: Su Yan, we didn't see you come out at all tonight. We're all about to sleep now.]

[Group Member Number Nine: I bet refining pills is fake. Helping someone run away from home is the real thing, right?]

[Bibi Dong: Cat, if you're in trouble, you can come to I. For the sake of being in the same Group Chat, I won't refuse.]

[I Am an Orphan: She's a normal person. How could she dare ask a lunatic like you for help?]

[Bibi Dong: orphan, that's enough!]

"Teacher."

Pope's Palace.

Hu Liena rushed in in a panic. The moment she entered, she saw Bibi Dong raise her hand, preparing to smash the Jade Stone Mirror.

Hu Liena: The moment I came in, I saw Chang Wei beating Laifu. And you still say you don't know martial arts—no, you still say you haven't gone crazy?

Bibi Dong really was furious!

What?

Liu Erlong had already shut herself away.

And this orphan came looking for trouble with her every day?

Was Bibi Dong some soft persimmon to be bullied?

"Nana, you're back."

Bibi Dong lowered her hand and looked at Hu Liena with a calm smile.

Hu Liena asked nervously, "Teacher, are you all right?"

"Hehe."

Bibi Dong smiled indifferently. "What could possibly be wrong with me? You know everything I've been through. Could a little storm like this really drive me mad?"

Hu Liena was still worried. "Then, Teacher, why do I feel like your behavior in the Group Chat is... very, very strange?"

Bibi Dong was exhausted too.

"Idiot!"

"What else was Teacher supposed to do?"

"Let them mock me mercilessly? They all know my dirty laundry. How am I supposed to face them with any dignity?"

"Ah!"

Hu Liena's face lit up with delight. "So Teacher hasn't really gone crazy! You were pretending! That's wonderful."

"Teacher, you were actually pretending to be crazy and playing dumb."

Bibi Dong shot Hu Liena an irritated look and said:

"What else did you think?"

"You don't really think Liu Erlong is still grieving, do you?"

"It's not that she hasn't finished grieving. She simply doesn't have the face to come out and face everyone. The moment she does, everyone will laugh her to death."

Hu Liena suddenly understood.

Impressive!

As expected of Teacher.

[Hu Liena: Liu Erlong, hurry up and come face my teacher.]

[Hu Liena: I, Hu Liena, swear to defend Teacher Bibi Dong to the death.]

[Yanzi is not Swallow: Looks like Hu Liena has returned to Spirit Hall.]

[Group Member Number Nine: Hu Liena, if you're being threatened, blink twice!]

Hmph.

Hu Liena scoffed inwardly.

What a bunch of idiots!

What did they know about how wise and mighty her teacher was?

[Bibi Dong: Liu Erlong, come out and face I at once.]

[Little Moon: Your Eminence the Pope, you've said that more than fifty times today. How about you let her go?]

[Bibi Dong: I'm the Crazy Pope, not the Virgin Mary Pope. If I let her go, have any of you let me go?]

[I Am an Orphan: Heh, lunatic.]

Bibi Dong instantly exploded with rage.

Just as she was about to retort to the orphan, Hu Liena grabbed her. Bibi Dong looked at her in confusion and asked:

"What is it?"

Hu Liena shook her head, her expression complicated. "N-Nothing. Teacher, just treat her as an orphan. Don't lower yourself to her level."

Bibi Dong replied irritably:

"Why should I give her any face?"

"In this Group Chat, other than giving Su Yan face, whose face do I need to give?"

[Bibi Dong: Heh, orphan.]

Hu Liena covered her face, unable to bear watching any longer.

Go on, fight!

When the truth came out, she wanted to see how Teacher would face anyone.

[Yanzi is not Swallow: Does anyone else have any gossip? If not, I'm going to sleep. It's already late.]

[Group Member Number Nine: There is some gossip, but I don't think you'll necessarily be able to wait for it.]

[Yanzi is not Swallow: ???]

[I Am an Orphan: Number Nine, you mean the gossip about Su Yan and Cat, right?]

[Group Member Number Nine: Yes. Those two are definitely going to run into each other, but there's been no news. I guess it's either already happening or hasn't begun yet.]

[Yanzi is not Swallow: That's not right! At the peak of immortality, I stand proud in the world. With Su Yan, There is Heaven. Why is Su Yan taking so long just to save someone?]

[Seven Treasures Little Princess: The journey Across the Void might be a little bumpy. The horse might need to rest too.]

[Loves Eating Carrots: Haha!!]

[Yanzi is not Swallow: Then we'll wait. Su Yan, Cat, you absolutely have to tell us about it. I won't even sleep—I'll wait for you.]

[Group Member Number Nine: six.]

Nuoding City.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong temporarily parted ways, agreeing to head to Suotuo City together early the next morning.

Xiao Wu truly had no ulterior motives, and her brain was not quite sharp enough either. She had already forgotten why Ning Rongrong had come to find her in the first place.

Ning Rongrong had come looking for Su Yan!

Yet Xiao Wu was still happily thinking that she would have another companion on the way to Suotuo City. Was that really just another companion?

That was a future rival.

Before dawn.

Within a bamboo forest in the Star Luo Empire, a figure swiftly darted through the woods.

That figure was Zhu Zhuqing.

After running all night, her horse had already collapsed from exhaustion. She had no time to find another mount, so she could only abandon it and flee into the forest.

Behind Zhu Zhuqing, a woman with an equally voluptuous figure wore a black mask over her face and pursued her relentlessly with several Soul Masters.

Whoosh!

A long arrow tore through the air.

Zhu Zhuqing instantly understood what was happening. She leaped aside and flipped over it, continuing to race toward the Heaven Dou Empire.

Crack.

After running for only a short while, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stepped into empty air and fell into a beast trap pit in the forest.

Zhu Zhuyun led her people to the edge of the pit as well.

Not long after.

Zhu Zhuqing struggled her way out from below, facing Zhu Zhuyun and four other Soul Ancestors across the pit.

As the saying went, don't panic when trouble comes. First, take out the Jade Stone Mirror and post to Moments.

And Zhu Zhuqing really did just that. Calculating that Su Yan should be arriving soon, she took out the Jade Stone Mirror, snapped a picture, and sent it to the Group Chat.

[Cat in the Shadow: Five Masked Assassins.jpg.]

[Cat in the Shadow: Life-or-death situation.]

After that.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her Private Message with Su Yan.

[Cat in the Shadow: They caught up.]
