Bibi Dong's Humiliation! Yu Xiaogang's Uselessness Exposed!

Xue Qinghe was getting anxious now.

She was truly afraid Bibi Dong would spout more suicidal words from her mouth.

Didn't she see Snow Empress's hand already raised beside her?

Were you tired of living, or did you think my undercover work was too easy?

Xue Qinghe leaned close to Bibi Dong's ear and said urgently, in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Shut up if you don't want to die!"

"This isn't the Pope's Palace, no one will indulge you!"

"That Lu Ming is from Jixia Academy, and he's the only one who can contact that mysterious force."

"If you don't apologize again, not only will you die, but I won't be able to protect you, and even Martial Soul Hall's grand plan will be ruined!"

Bibi Dong froze.

She looked at the "Xue Qinghe" who was close at hand, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.

What did that mean?

What did she mean Martial Soul Hall's grand plan would be ruined?

But the unprecedented seriousness and warning in Xue Qinghe's eyes made her instinctively stop struggling.

It was a look she had never seen in this "daughter's" eyes before.

"Apologize."

Xue Qinghe let go, turned her back to Lu Ming, her lips moved, and she uttered two words.

Bibi Dong's body stiffened.

She looked up at Lu Ming, who stood calmly in the distance, then at Snow Empress, who was emanating a chilling aura.

Finally, her gaze fell on Xue Qinghe, whose face was filled with anxiety.

Although she felt utterly humiliated and wanted to grind her teeth to dust.

Reason told her that the current situation was beyond her control.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surging Blood Essence in her chest.

She slowly lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum, as if squeezed from between her teeth:

"Yes... this seat was reckless."

"Please... forgive me."

After saying these words, Bibi Dong felt as if all her strength had been drained.

This was probably the first time in her life she had bowed her head to an outsider.

And in front of so many people at that.

Lu Ming didn't make things difficult for her, just waved his hand casually.

"Alright, since the misunderstanding is cleared up, let's disperse."

"We still want to go shopping, don't ruin the mood."

"..."

After speaking, he didn't even glance at Bibi Dong, turned around, and continued walking towards the depths of Vermilion Bird Street with the three women and Xue Qinghe.

That kind of disregard made Bibi Dong feel even worse than the earlier humiliation.

Her dignity, which she cherished as much as her life, seemed to be considered less important than shopping in his eyes.

As Lu Ming and the others left, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

But the impact of this incident spread throughout Heaven Dou City as if it had grown wings.

The commotion on Vermilion Bird Street had completely torn off Yu Xiaogang's hypocritical mask.

"Did you hear? That so-called theoretical master is actually a good-for-nothing!"

"Did you need to hear that? I was there at the time! He couldn't even answer Dean Lu's question!"

"He claims there are no useless Martial Souls, yet he himself has been stuck at level twenty-nine his entire life. Isn't that lying?"

"The funniest part is, when danger appeared, he ran faster than anyone, abandoning even his own disciples!"

"I was originally planning to send my son to Shrek Academy, but now, it's probably best not to. I don't want him to be misled."

In taverns, at tea stalls, and in alleyways, people were talking about this incident everywhere.

The "Master," once praised to the heavens, became a rat that everyone wanted to beat overnight.

Even the other members of Shrek Academy were pointed at and couldn't hold their heads up when walking on the street.

And at this moment.

The preliminary rounds of the All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Academy Elite Competition were about to begin.

Losing face at such a critical juncture would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Shrek team.

Outside Heaven Dou City, in a secluded forest.

Bibi Dong sat cross-legged on a blue stone, meditating to heal her injuries.

Her complexion was still pale, but the Soul Power within her had calmed down somewhat.

Xue Qinghe stood beside her, hands clasped behind his back, quietly gazing at the distant city walls.

After a long while, Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at Xue Qinghe's back, her gaze complex.

"Why?"

Bibi Dong's voice was somewhat cold.

"Why didn't you let me speak back then?"

"Even if that Lu Ming is very strong, our Martial Soul Hall, if we went all out, wouldn't necessarily fear him."

Xue Qinghe turned around, looking at the woman who was still stubborn despite her injuries, a sense of powerlessness surging within him.

He glanced around, ensuring no one else was present, before speaking slowly.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"That Yu Xiaogang is not worth you doing this for."

Bibi Dong frowned, a flash of anger in her eyes.

"My affairs are none of your business."

"Xiaogang's theoretical attainments..."

"Bullshit attainments!"

Xue Qinghe, in a rare display, swore and directly interrupted Bibi Dong.

She stepped forward two paces, staring intently into Bibi Dong's eyes.

"How long are you going to deceive yourself?"

"If he were truly talented, why has he achieved nothing all these years?"

"If he truly loved you, why did he run off and leave you behind just now?"

"He's using you!"

"He just wants to use your influence to prove his ridiculous theories and satisfy his pathetic vanity!"

"And..."

Xue Qinghe paused, a cruel glint flashing in her eyes.

"Do you think he only has you in his heart?"

"In Heaven Dou City, he's been getting cozy with that Liu Erlong, even wanting to rekindle their old flame."

"In his heart, you're nothing more than a tool he can summon and dismiss at will!"

These words struck Bibi Dong's heart like sharp knives.

Bibi Dong's face turned ashen, and she instinctively tried to retort.

"No... impossible..."

"Xiaogang isn't that kind of person..."

But the image of Yu Xiaogang fleeing, coupled with his cowardly behavior at the tea stall earlier, made her voice grow quieter until it disappeared.

In truth, she knew it all.

She just didn't want to admit it.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, the confusion in her eyes gradually replaced by a fierce resolve.

Since Yu Xiaogang was unreliable, she would rely on herself.

She would definitely avenge the humiliation she suffered today!

"Even if Yu Xiaogang is a good-for-nothing."

"But that Lu Ming, who has humiliated this Seat so greatly, this debt cannot be let go just like that!"

"Once my injuries heal, I will definitely mobilize the experts from the Elder Hall and tear that Lu Ming to shreds!"

"Absolutely not!"

Xue Qinghe's voice suddenly rose, even carrying a hint of sternness.

She looked at Bibi Dong, her expression unusually grave.

"Absolutely not!"

"You must not, absolutely must not, have any ill intentions towards Lu Ming!"

"Otherwise, everything will be ruined!"

Bibi Dong was stunned by Xue Qinghe's extreme reaction.

As the Pope, when had she ever needed to be so cautious about killing someone?
