Effortlessly Taking Control of Everyone, Their Identities Finally Revealed
Ning Rongrong's pupils contracted, Dugu Yan's fingers trembled, Zhu Zhuqing's jaw muscles tensed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Liu Erlong's forehead—he captured every detail clearly.
"Just as I thought."
He mentally confirmed his previous speculations one by one, and the last doubt was completely eliminated.
The deathly silence in the pavilion lasted for nearly ten seconds.
Then Lin Qingmo spoke.
He crossed his arms and slightly raised his chin.
"Everyone, let's get straight to the point."
"You're the members of the Chat Group, right?"
The atmosphere froze the moment Lin Qingmo uttered the words "Chat Group member".
It feels like you're secretly watching something indescribable in your dorm room, and when you turn around you find your whole class standing behind you—and they've even brought your homeroom teacher along.
Xiao Wu noticed that Lin Qingmo's gaze had already swept over them.
He immediately stood up in compliance.
"That's right, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean, I'm A Rogue Rabbit in the Chat Group!"
Xiao Wu suddenly stood up, put her hands on her hips, and exuded an aura of "I'm the best in the world".
"Splash!"
Liu Erlong nearly dropped the teacup in her hand.
Dugu Yan's eyes widened.
Ning Rongrong's cherry-like mouth opened into an "O" shape.
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils also contracted slightly.
The four looked at Xiao Wu in disbelief.
Holy crap!
Xiao Wu is actually A Rogue Rabbit ' in the group!
And... Xiao Wu, you're just admitting it like that?!
What about your dignity as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!
You should at least try to struggle a little!
"..."
Lin Qingmo's lips curled into a wide smile.
Goodness, Xiao Wu's self-disclosure came too suddenly, but her coordination with him was pretty good.
He cleared his throat, turned his gaze to Dugu Yan, and his smile gradually became playful, "Yanzi, look how frank Xiao Wu is, and besides..."
He deliberately dragged out his words: "Your grandfather Dugu Bo, was my master's subordinate, so you're practically my subordinate."
"What's there to hide from your boss?"
Dugu Yan: "???"
What does "rounding" mean? Am I your subordinate?
That rounding is way too far!
It's directly transferred from Nuoding City to the Spirit Hall!
But the problem is... there's really no way to refute Lin Qingmo's words.
Dugu Yan opened her mouth, only to find herself speechless—no, she had nothing to say.
She looked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was winking at her smugly.
Dugu Yan seemed to understand something.
Despicable! Those two scoundrels!
Dugu Yan internally raged, finally raising her hands in despair. "I surrender, okay, I admit it, I am the Yanzi in the Chat Group ~"
"Very good."
Lin Qingmo nodded in satisfaction, his expression saying, "That's more like it."
Next, his gaze settled on Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong trembled and instinctively hugged her arms tightly, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"What... what do you want? I don't understand a word you're saying!"
I'm not like Yanzi, I don't have any leverage over A-Qing, so I have nothing to fear!
"Oh?"
Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow, suddenly adopting an expression so gentle it sent chills down one's spine.
"Ning Rongrong ~"
Ning Rongrong: "!!!"
Why are you suddenly being so gentle?!
This art style is off!
Director! He's rewriting the script!
Lin Qingmo slowly spoke, "Ning Rongrong, the Immortal Herb I gave you allowed your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve into Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, right?"
"So what if it is... so what if it is!"
"Your father, Ning Fengzhi, would be very happy if he knew, wouldn't he?"
"Of course... wait, what are you trying to say?!"
Lin Qingmo smiled like a fox who had stolen a chicken, "Plus, your father seemed to have quite a bit of an opinion of me before. If I were to propose marriage to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, do you think he would gladly agree?"
"Huh?"
Ning Rongrong's brain went blank.
Propose... propose marriage?
He... he's going to propose to me?
Wait, wait, wait, I'm not ready yet!
No way! Why should I even prepare this?!
That's why.
Lin Qingmo shrugged. "We're practically family, you're not going to keep this from me anytime soon, are you?"
Ning Rongrong's face instantly turned red to her ears, and her smooth hair was ruffled into a mess. "Aaaaaah! You're such a scoundrel!"
She suddenly stood up, closed her eyes, and shouted, "Fine, fine! I am the Little Witch! Are you satisfied now?!"
After shouting, she plopped back down, buried her face in her arms, and only her bright red ears were visible.
My heart is racing...
He said it was a family... Is A-Qing really going to propose marriage?
Wait a minute! What am I thinking?!
TripleKill!
A triumphant smile curled at the corner of Lin Qingmo's lips.
Then, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
Lin Qingmo was about to speak
"A-Qing, I'm the Big-Breasted Kitty in the Chat Group."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke these words in a clear, cool voice, like a spring.
"Um?"
Everyone was stunned.
Including Lin Qingmo.
Does that mean you admit it?
Didn't they even struggle?
Lin Qingmo blinked, a rare look of surprise on his face. "Zhu Zhuqing, why don't you struggle a little?"
Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyelids, a hint of a smile flashing in her cat-like eyes, a very faint curve appearing at the corner of her lips. "No need."
Her voice was soft, yet firm.
"Because A-Qing, you are my benefactor."
"You changed my life and gave me a new future."
"Therefore, I don't intend to hide anything."
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
What's with this atmosphere?
How did this suddenly turn into a confession scene?
"Cough cough."
Liu Erlong coughed loudly, breaking the sudden, ambiguous atmosphere.
She crossed her arms, giving off a "I've seen it all" vibe. "Since things have come to this, I admit it, the Mother Tyrannosaurus' in the Chat Group is me."
She was quite open and honest, unlike the other girls who were so shy and hesitant.
This piqued Lin Qingmo's interest. "Teacher Er Long, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the most difficult one to deal with."
"To be honest, if you don't admit it, it'll be really hard for me to deal with you."
Liu Erlong raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eyes. "Oh? Well, I'm quite curious, A-Qing, if I stubbornly refuse to admit it, how do you plan to convince me?"
She crossed her arms over her chest, crossed her legs, and adopted a "bring it on" stance.
"I'm warning you, those tactics you use on young girls—threats, marriage proposals, and the like—won't work on me."
"I'm an adult, a mature woman. I won't be fooled by such petty tricks."
Lin Qingmo narrowed his eyes, his smile gradually turning wicked, "Regarding Teacher Er Long's words..."
He paused, then took out a small notebook from his pocket and opened it to a page.
"I think sharing Teacher Er Long's past embarrassing moments in the Chat Group might be more effective."
"For example, regarding Yu Xiaogang..."
Liu Erlong's smile froze on her face.
"Wait! Stop!"
She didn't want to hear the name Yu Xiaogang again, and she didn't want anyone else to know about her blind and shameful past.
Finally, Liu Erlong plopped back into his chair, slumped down, and said dejectedly, "Fine, fine, you're something else. You've got us all completely under your thumb."
