Bibi Dong's Shock: Si Kongzhen Was Qian Yu's Subordinate?!

There was a trace of unwillingness in Qian Renxue's voice.

"My Six-winged Angel Spirit is only ranked fifteenth. This Five Thunder Drum is actually ranked higher than my inherited divine Spirit?"

"Si Kongzhen... who is that?"

Her gaze continued downward. When the five words "Super God-level Spirit" appeared on the Heavenly Screen, her breath caught sharply.

"What?!"

Even Qian Renxue's voice had gone off-key.

"A Super God-level Spirit?! How is that possible?!"

"My Six-winged Angel Spirit is already the most supreme God-level Spirit in the world. The Five Thunder Drum's grade is actually higher than God-level?!"

She felt an unprecedented shock. The pride she had always carried was shattered at that moment.

Just then, Gongsun Li suddenly tugged at Qian Yu's sleeve, her tone filled with undisguised hatred.

"Brother Qian Yu, look. It's that woman."

Qian Yu followed her gaze and saw the palace gates slowly opening as two disheveled figures emerged.

Qian Yu's gaze was as calm as still water. He merely nodded lightly.

"Mm."

Hu Liena was supporting Bibi Dong as she slowly made her way out.

Bibi Dong had changed into clean clothes, but her face was still pale, her aura weak, and even her posture as she walked was somewhat stiff.

As she walked, she continued to curse under her breath, filled with resentment.

"Damn Si Kongzhen! What an inexplicable madman!"

"I came to visit with nothing but good intentions, yet he attacked without bothering to distinguish right from wrong!"

"And he hit so hard! Hiss..."

She sucked in a sharp breath, feeling every muscle in her body ache. The Soul Power within her was in complete chaos, making it impossible for her to use it anytime soon.

Even now, she could not understand why Si Kongzhen had attacked her.

She and Wu Zetian had clearly been good friends for many years!

Seeing Bibi Dong in such a sorry state, Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with satisfaction as she mocked her without mercy.

"Bibi Dong, did someone beat you up?"

Bibi Dong had already been full of pent-up anger with nowhere to vent it. Hearing someone ridicule her, she immediately flared up.

She abruptly raised her head. When she saw that it was Qian Renxue speaking, she froze for a moment before her fury intensified.

"Qian Renxue? Why are you here?! What are you doing in this place?"

Qian Renxue crossed her arms and said flatly, "What does it have to do with you why I'm here?"

Qian Renxue's attitude made Bibi Dong's chest heave with rage. She shouted sternly, "I'm your mother!"

A mocking smile tugged at Qian Renxue's lips, and she gave a disdainful snort.

That soft laugh angered Bibi Dong more than any vicious insult could have.

"Qian Renxue, you ungrateful wretch!"

Bibi Dong trembled with fury.

Then, her gaze swept past Qian Renxue and landed on a figure she would never forget.

The man who had once obeyed her every word and placed every beautiful thing in the world before her.

Bibi Dong's anger was instantly replaced by an inexplicable sense of superiority. She raised her chin proudly and spoke in a patronizing tone.

"Qian Yu, so it's you."

"What, did you chase me all the way here? Are you trying to get back together with me?"

"Let me tell you, that's impossible."

She looked at Qian Yu with a trace of pity in her eyes.

"The current you is no longer worthy of me. I advise you to give up on that thought."

Before she could finish speaking, Qian Renxue was already furious.

"Bibi Dong! What nonsense are you spouting?! You're the one who isn't worthy of him!"

Gongsun Li's pretty face had turned bright red with anger, and energy was already surging around her. She looked ready to strike and teach this shameless woman a lesson.

From beginning to end, Qian Yu ignored Bibi Dong. He did not even spare her a glance.

His gaze rested calmly on the distant palace, as though Bibi Dong was nothing more than air.

The indifference and disdain in his eyes were unmistakably clear.

The smile on Bibi Dong's face froze.

A sense of humiliation even stronger than being beaten rose within her.

She trembled from rage.

Qian Yu actually dared to ignore her?!

The man who had once fawned over her in every way and regarded her as a goddess now dared to look at her like this?!

How dare he!

Sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Hu Liena quickly whispered into Bibi Dong's ear, "Teacher, they... should also be here to seek cooperation with the Great Tang Empire."

Those words jolted Bibi Dong awake.

She took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her anger, restoring her cold and aloof expression.

Yes, that had to be it.

She looked at Qian Yu and sneered. "Empress Wu Zetian and I have been close friends for years, like sisters. Even I cannot enter this Great Tang Imperial Palace, so what right does Qian Yu have?"

She wanted Qian Yu to see with his own eyes that if she could not accomplish something, then he had even less chance of doing so!

She wanted him to understand just how vast the gap between them had become!

However, the moment her words fell—

"Creak—"

The tightly shut palace gates opened once again.

A burly figure hurried out from within.

It was Si Kongzhen, who had just electrocuted Bibi Dong until she was charred black.

At that moment, none of his previous violence or arrogance remained. In its place was an almost fanatical excitement and reverence.

Taking three strides in two, he hurried eagerly to Qian Yu. Before Bibi Dong and Hu Liena's stunned eyes, he respectfully dropped to one knee, his voice loud and excited.

"Jixia Academy's King of Thunder, Si Kongzhen!"

"Greets the Dean!"

The sneer on Bibi Dong's face completely froze.

Her eyes widened as she stared fixedly at the scene before her, her mouth slowly falling open.

"H-How is that possible?!"

Hu Liena was utterly dumbfounded as well, her mind completely blank.

Dean?

That terrifying expert who had nearly beaten her teacher to death actually... actually addressed Qian Yu as... Dean?!

The expression on Bibi Dong's face shifted from numbness to disbelief.

That terrifying man who had shattered her God-given Armor with one punch and blasted her into charred ruin with a bolt of lightning.

That peerless expert ranked twelfth on the Spirit Ranking, possessing the Super God-level Spirit, Five Thunder Drum.

He actually...

He was actually kneeling before Qian Yu, calling him... Dean?

Had the world gone mad?

Bibi Dong's body trembled uncontrollably.

She stared fixedly at Qian Yu, the man she had once been able to abandon so casually.

At that moment, his figure became incomparably unfamiliar in her eyes.

Amid the nearly frozen air, the Heavenly Screen above the nine heavens changed once again.

Golden light flowed as new words slowly emerged in the former eleventh position.

[Spirit Ranking, Eleventh Place!]

[Spirit Name: Mirror Breaking Blade!]
