After Di Tian confirmed that An Ping and Gu Yuena were safe but had left Douluo Star, Miracle City’s leaders debated how to respond to Shrek Academy’s denunciation. They read the pair’s instructions to carry on as usual, while the Demon Empress argued that the city should learn to manage affairs without them.
