The moment those words were spoken, the air around them seemed to fall silent for an instant.
The smile on Yu Xiaogang's face froze on the spot.
Flender and Liu Erlong were both stunned as well.
They clearly had not expected this gentle-looking young girl to speak so bluntly.
But Bibi Dong had no intention of stopping. She stared coldly at Yu Xiaogang.
"Not even understanding your own Martial Soul, yet you dare call yourself a Grandmaster? What a joke!"
"You swindled your sect out of resources for years, and you still have the nerve to stay alive!"
Those words were like blades, stabbing viciously into Yu Xiaogang's deepest wounds.
His entire face instantly flushed red.
His eyes were filled with shock, fury, and disbelief.
He could not understand why this breathtaking girl, whom he was meeting for the first time, knew his background so clearly.
The next moment, he seemed to realize something. He turned toward Su Chen, raised a hand, and pointed at him, his body trembling slightly with extreme rage.
"It was you. Yes, it had to be you."
"Why are you spreading rumors about me outside?!"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang believed that the reason Bibi Dong despised him so much was entirely because of Su Chen.
Su Chen must have spoken badly of him in front of Bibi Dong.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's heart filled with resentment.
"Yu Chen, you really are despicable."
"You're a useless piece of trash with no Soul Power yourself, so all you can do is stir up trouble behind people's backs?"
Su Chen merely gave Yu Xiaogang an indifferent glance.
He did not explain, nor could he be bothered to.
But Bibi Dong, standing nearby, became furious. She could never allow anyone to speak badly of Su Chen in front of her.
"Do you think too highly of yourself? Do you really think everyone spends all day revolving around you?"
"Framing you? What a joke. How could Su Chen's talent and ability possibly be compared to trash like you, who only knows how to spout nonsense?"
"Let me tell you the truth. I am the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong."
The moment those words were spoken, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong were all shaken.
They clearly had not expected this girl to have such an enormous background.
She was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall!
Across the entire continent, perhaps only the crown princes of the two great empires could barely compare to her!
Bibi Dong continued her verbal assault on Yu Xiaogang.
"Do you understand now?"
"Would Su Chen really need to go out of his way to tell me about your pathetic affairs?"
"You really think far too highly of yourself."
"Your affairs have long since spread among all the major factions."
"And that so-called Grandmaster title of yours."
"To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a joke."
"Only you still take it seriously."
One merciless sentence after another fell upon him.
Like blade after blade stabbing viciously into Yu Xiaogang's heart.
Yu Xiaogang stood completely frozen.
All color drained from his face.
At this moment, he felt as though his life had fallen to rock bottom. He had finally developed feelings for a woman.
Yet what he received in return was such humiliation.
But despite his anger, there was nothing he could do, because he could not defeat her.
Yu Xiaogang's lips trembled continuously.
After a long while, he finally forced out a sentence through clenched teeth.
"Good... very good!"
"Just you wait!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang could no longer remain there. He abruptly turned around and hurried away in embarrassment.
"Xiao Gang, wait for me!"
Seeing this, Flender shouted after him and hurriedly followed.
In the blink of an eye, only Bibi Dong, Su Chen, and Liu Erlong remained.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang flee so pathetically, Bibi Dong finally could not hold back any longer and burst into laughter, thinking to herself.
Su Chen having such a useless brother is probably the greatest stain of his life.
A moment later, Bibi Dong seemed to suddenly remember something. She turned toward Liu Erlong, who was still standing where she was, and raised an eyebrow.
"They've all left. Why didn't you leave with them?"
Hearing this, Liu Erlong finally came back to her senses.
She first glanced in the direction Yu Xiaogang and Flender had left.
Then she looked at Bibi Dong and Su Chen.
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke.
"Actually... we only met today as well."
"Strictly speaking, we aren't that familiar."
"The only reason I was with them was because we happened to run into each other."
At this point, Liu Erlong paused.
"Besides, after hearing what you said just now, I don't know exactly what happened."
"But I can tell that Yu Xiaogang is probably not a good person."
"Since that's the case, I naturally have no interest in continuing to associate with him."
Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised by this.
She had thought Liu Erlong was on that useless man's side, but she had not expected her to say such things.
After speaking, Liu Erlong instead looked at Bibi Dong and Su Chen with curiosity in her eyes.
At this moment, she wanted to get acquainted with the two of them.
After all, Spirit Hall had taken care of her quite a bit in the past. She had always viewed Spirit Hall favorably, so she was naturally curious about Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden.
As for Su Chen.
Liu Erlong could not explain why, but whenever she saw this calm young man before her, she always felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
Just as Liu Erlong was about to continue speaking.
Su Chen suddenly spoke first.
"We were planning to look around a little longer anyway."
"Why don't we go together?"
The moment he said this, Bibi Dong froze for a moment. She abruptly turned to look at Su Chen, her eyes full of surprise.
Normally, whenever she wanted Su Chen to walk around the city with her a little longer, she had to take the initiative to pull him along and coax him for quite some time.
Yet now, Su Chen had actually taken the initiative to invite someone else along?
On the other side, Liu Erlong was stunned as well. She had clearly not expected Su Chen to take the initiative to invite her.
But it suited her perfectly. Without hesitation, a bright, cheerful smile appeared on her face.
"Sure."
Only then did Bibi Dong come back to her senses.
Although she still found it somewhat strange.
She did not think too much about it.
She simply assumed Su Chen was acting on a whim today.
Besides, making another friend because of this was not a bad thing for her.
With that thought, a smile quickly returned to Bibi Dong's face. She took a step forward and looked at Liu Erlong.
"Since that's the case, let's properly introduce ourselves."
"My name is Bibi Dong."
Liu Erlong smiled and extended her hand as well.
"Liu Erlong."
Seeing this scene, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong outside the Sky Screen both revealed expressions of utter disbelief.
They had always been love rivals before. It would have been good enough if they did not fight whenever they were together, so how could such a friendly scene as the one on the Sky Screen possibly happen?
The next moment, both of them shook their heads and cursed fiercely in their hearts.
Impossible. How could I possibly chat so amicably with that Female Tyrannosaurus/stupid woman?!
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang at Shrek Academy was so envious he could have cried. Had he not once fantasized about Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong getting along peacefully and becoming his harem?
Yet in the end, not only had Bibi Dong abandoned him, but he could not be with Liu Erlong either.
The Sky Screen continued.
Friendship between girls could sometimes be this wonderful. After only a brief chat, their once unfamiliar relationship suddenly changed. At this moment, the two seemed like best friends who had known each other for years.
Bibi Dong took Liu Erlong's hand of her own accord.
"Come on, I'll show you around here."
Liu Erlong smiled as well.
"Alright."
The two women walked ahead while Su Chen silently followed behind them.
Along the way, the two who had only just met quickly became close.
One was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, noble in status, yet with few friends she could truly talk to.
The other was straightforward in nature, daring to love and hate, and never fond of beating around the bush.
When these two people came together, they unexpectedly got along well.
As Bibi Dong led the way, she introduced Liu Erlong to the surrounding streets and shops. (It was her first time in Suotuo City too, and most of what she said was made up.)
Liu Erlong asked a question or two from time to time, occasionally laughing aloud at Bibi Dong's words.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell across the streets, slowly stretching the shadows of the three of them.
