With a flash of White Light, Su Hao and Gu Yue returned to Shrek.
By then, night had already fallen outside. Looking at the familiar surroundings, Gu Yue had yet to gather her thoughts when she heard Su Hao say:
"Let's go. It's getting late."
Gu Yue pulled herself together after hearing that. She wanted to ask Su Hao something, but in the end, she still did not open her mouth.
The two then headed toward the Work-Study Student dormitories. Halfway there, Su Hao suddenly stopped and spoke to Gu Yue behind him:
"Gu Yue, is there really nothing you want to ask? Or have you never been curious about the identities of those three?"
Gu Yue thought to herself: What did Su Hao mean by that? The first question might have merely been a simple inquiry, but what did the second mean? Did he mean that he had already seen through Evil Emperor—no, Thunder Emperor and the others? Or had Thunder Emperor and the others told Su Hao about my identity?
But that shouldn't be possible. Although I am nominally the ruler of the Soul Beast clan, only the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest believe in me. Snow Empress and Ice Empress worship the Ice God, while Evil Eye and the others have nothing to do with me at all.
