Bibi Dong Was Furious. "Give It a Rest, Huoyao!"

"Take what you can and leave when you've had enough. If you're not satisfied, don't come back. The Spirit Hall isn't some charity."

"But Taolangke's way of doing things was different from the other academies. He wanted to train the students by putting them through real combat. He hoped they would grow stronger through fighting."

He was willing to risk his life to make use of the students' talents. That was why he said he'd do whatever it took.

Duoxu was much the same. In her previous life, she'd known that she would eventually become the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, so she'd deliberately made things difficult for her, using all sorts of methods to put her down.

She'd done it for her own good, to keep her from becoming so arrogant. As a result, Duoxu had been grateful to her and had started to get close to her. She'd even helped her earn the trust of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.

The others hadn't been so lucky. Huohuo, for instance, had been trained into Taolangke's loyal dog long ago. Taolangke could make him do just about anything—even order him to beat up the other students.

It was only because Taolangke had gone too far in his previous life that I'd made my move. But now that I'd resolved the matter with Xiao Wu, and Duoxu had left with me, I could only endure it for the time being.

Still, as far as I knew, Yu Xiaoqian would soon be coming to Taolangke's academy to look for the dean. That old bastard's mouth was even nastier than Tang San's and the others'. He was bound to cause trouble.

If he so much as laid a finger on my dean, I wouldn't let him off. I'd have to make him understand the consequences.

Unfortunately, before I could do anything, Bibi Dong had already taken a liking to Yu Xiaoqian. She'd even arranged for someone to take him away, so I had to wait for the right moment to deal with it.

Even if the dean treated me well, I still had to admit that when it came to people skills and intelligence, she was nowhere near as good as Bibi Dong. How could she possibly have ended up in such a miserable state?

Anyway, the dean couldn't see my diary. I'd just sneak in a quick line: Bibi Dong, when are you going to stop pretending you don't know how to use your waist?

"Pfft!"

Bibi Dong's face darkened. She slapped the table in front of her, shattering it into splinters. The fragments shot in every direction, and a terrifying wave of energy swept through the room.

Fortunately, Hu Liena had been prepared. The moment she saw the contents of the diary, she withdrew, and the shock wave didn't reach her.

Even so, Bibi Dong's chest rose and fell rapidly. Hu Liena couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Little brother, your guts are enormous. You actually dare to say that your dean doesn't know how to use her waist? Aren't you afraid she'll come after you?"

Hu Liena knew perfectly well why he'd said that. He wanted to keep his diary's existence secret from Huoyao.

If Huoyao knew she had a diary and could read its contents, how would she dare to say that Bibi Dong didn't know how to use her waist?

The diary wasn't anything special. He was deliberately using this kind of trick to bait Huoyao into making a fool of herself.

Diary: Anyway, I've put up with everything so far. [Raises an eyebrow.]

"You bastard! How dare you talk about me like that?!"

Bibi Dong was furious. She wished she could appear in front of Huoyao right now and give him a good beating, just to teach him what it meant to show respect to his dean.

He dared to write such things about his own dean in his diary. He was saying that she was his dean, that she was good to him, and yet he treated her like this? Was that how a disciple should treat his dean?

Traitor! What a shameless traitor!

Bibi Dong only wished Huoyao would get caught by the dean and be beaten until he was black and blue.

Bibi Dong guessed that the only ones who could read the diary weren't just her and Hu Liena. Duoxu might be able to read it too, and Qian'erbei might even have a diary of his own. Especially Qian'erbei—there was a good chance he was a diary owner as well.

If Huoyao knew that his dean didn't know how to use her waist, Qian'erbei might laugh at her behind her back.

Hu Liena covered her mouth and giggled.

"Dean, don't be angry. Huoyao doesn't know I can read his diary. If he did, he wouldn't dare say something like that about you."

Bibi Dong shot her a vicious look and said angrily,

"That's exactly because he doesn't know! That's why he can say such things without thinking, and write that his dean doesn't know how to use her waist. Is that what he really thinks?"

Bibi Dong sneered. Hu Liena's reassurance had done nothing to calm her down. If anything, she was even angrier.

Hu Liena looked at her expression, which had turned colder than ice. She didn't dare say anything more about Huoyao. Instead, she silently prayed for him.

"Give it a rest, Huoyao. If you keep writing things like that about your dean, even your big sister won't be able to save you."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

"His waist's no good! Luo Xue really is so much better than that woman, Bibi Dong. She's way too stingy!"

Just as Bibi Dong had guessed, Qian'erbei had started laughing the moment he saw the diary's contents. He even felt like going straight to the Spirit Hall to see exactly what Bibi Dong would do.

At that moment, Qian'erbei had already guessed that Luo Xue was the one who'd given him away. She'd made it clear that she knew what he'd been thinking.

Especially since Luo Xue had no idea that she could read the diary. That meant she'd spoken from the heart.

In his mind, Bibi Dong was a stingy, bad-tempered woman.

"Since Luo Xue already knows, then he must know too. He knows that the Spirit Hall's standing in Bibi Dong's hands is getting worse and worse. When the time comes and I want to take over, he'll probably help me, right?"

Qian'erbei rubbed his hands together, unable to hide his excitement.

Taolangke Academy.

After Zhu Zhuqing learned what Huoyao had written in his diary, she'd tried several times to stop him from continuing to write such dangerous things.

In Zhu Zhuqing's view, since Bibi Dong had also gotten a diary, she'd surely be furious when she saw Luo Xue writing that she didn't know how to use her waist.

Bibi Dong and Huoyao weren't like Duoxu and her dean. If Bibi Dong wanted to teach Huoyao a lesson, how would Luo Xue talk her out of it?

If Bibi Dong really did something like that, Luo Xue might hold it against her and turn against her dean. That would be disastrous.

But after seeing the diary's contents, Zhu Zhuqing still forced herself not to say what she was thinking.

Just then, someone rushed over and spoke up.

"Huohuo, arrange for the new students in your team to move into the dorms. They officially start tomorrow."

After saying that, he left without waiting for a reply. Even though he'd only just lost to Luo Xue, he hadn't forgotten to make the arrangements.

Huohuo rolled his eyes and muttered a curse. Then, resigned to it, he went to find Tang San and the others to help Luo Xue arrange the dorms.

He'd originally wanted Luo Xue to be the team's punching bag. But because he'd provoked Luo Xue, he'd ended up on the losing side, and Luo Xue was the one who'd taken the MVP title.
