A Grand Exposure

Wu Xing's words came to an abrupt halt, his mind inevitably craving to save the image.

But the next moment, he watched as Qian Renxue retracted the photo of her beautiful legs.

In an instant, he could have kicked himself; he hadn't finished saving it yet! Xuexue, you can't just take it back!

Wu Xing felt like crying without tears. So much for acting noble and righteous—he had truly lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

[Wu Xing: Ahem, Qinghe, what did you just send? I didn't notice, could you send it again?]

[Xue Qinghe: Nothing, sent it by mistake. I am firmly committed to supporting the Group Leader and creating a clean, tidy, and civilized environment for this chat group.]

[Wu Xing: ..., you are teachable.]

Watching Wu Xing pretend to be indifferent, the corners of Qian Renxue's lips curled into a subtle arc, a hint of hidden amusement dancing in her eyes.

At this moment, she had long since reverted to her true form.

Golden hair cascaded over her shoulders, her skin as white and lustrous as jade. She inherited the peerless bone structure of Bibi Dong, while carrying an air of goddess-like nobility and aloofness.

Her figure was slender and graceful, especially those legs—long, straight, and white as snow, as if they had been soaked in milk, flawless and beautiful.

Wrapped in those holy light silk stockings, her legs looked even more dazzling, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

The photo she had carefully taken just now was one she had snapped from the best angle after shedding her disguise.

After all that meticulous selection, and even going so far as to bring up her "sister," she hadn't expected him to respond with such a sanctimonious declaration. It infuriated her enough to retract the photo immediately.

Let you act, let you be noble—now you're regretting it, aren't you?

But Qian Renxue hadn't even finished gloating for two seconds before her flawless face stiffened.

[Blue Silver Empress: Screenshot JPG.]

Wu Xing was still wallowing in regret when he suddenly saw Ah Yin's screenshot. His eyes widened, and relying on the typing speed honed from eighteen years of being single, he hurriedly saved the image.

What a good person, what a good person—no, wait, what a good grass, what a good grass! You really are a fine blade of grass; I misunderstood you before.

[Xue Qinghe: Blue Silver Empress, you won't have any friends like this!]

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth in hatred. This Blue Silver Empress really knew how to infuriate people; no wonder the Group Leader wanted to "seclude" her.

If it were her, she would want to "seclude" her too.

[Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit: Hahaha.]

[Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan: Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter.]

[Nine-Tailed Sky Fox: Hahaha, is His Highness the Crown Prince getting anxious?]

[Ning Shui Fei Luan: It seems this photo is quite extraordinary.]

[Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit: ??? Ning Shui Fei Luan, what do you mean?]

[Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan: Hmm??? Why do you say this picture isn't simple?]

[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Didn't you guys notice the first thing the Group Leader said after we joined the group?]

[Nether Shadow: I think I'm starting to understand.]

[Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit: What riddles are you all speaking in? Why can't I understand?]

[Ah Rou: Child, if I'm not mistaken, Xue Qinghe is actually a woman. The photo she claimed was her sister's must also be fake.]

[Bibi Dong: ...]

Seeing the content in the chat group, Wu Xing's eyes lit up like lightbulbs, his entire spirit instantly peaking.

Here it comes, here it comes! Are they about to strip away Qian Renxue's disguise right here and now?

He had originally thought the Seven Treasures Little Witch would be the first to have her identity exposed, but he hadn't expected the trouble to start on this side instead.

Just as Wu Xing held his breath, waiting for Qian Renxue's identity to be punctured, a message suddenly popped up.

[Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan: I know now!]

[Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit: How do you know?]

[Bibi Dong: What do you know?]

[Nine-Tailed Sky Fox: Curious.]

[Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan: Xue Qinghe must be a fake. Everyone who joined the group should be female; Wu Xing's first sentence already indicated that.]

[Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan: Therefore, she must be Xue Ke in disguise! She's using her brother's nickname to sneak into the group and pretend to be the Crown Prince.]

[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Same as what I thought, I've long suspected she was Xue Ke.]

[Ning Shui Fei Luan: That must be it.]

[Nether Shadow: So that's how it is.]

[Wu Xing: ..., you guys are truly geniuses.]

Seeing these messages, Wu Xing nearly lost his breath, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

He had thought Qian Renxue was about to be exposed, but it turned out they were all just guessing blindly.

However, to be fair, they weren't actually wrong—after all, the logic was perfectly sound.

Seeing their information, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong felt their tense bodies finally relax.

It was a false alarm; they had both feared that the grand plan of Martial Soul Hall was about to be exposed prematurely.

[Seven Treasures Little Witch: Something's not right, something's not right. Looking at what Group Owner brother means, we might have guessed wrong. She isn't Xue Ke.]

[Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan: Hmm, it probably isn't Xue Ke, but I can't think of anyone else it could be besides her.]

Seeing everyone focus their attention back on her, Qian Renxue hurriedly took the initiative to strike first and divert their focus.

[Xue Qinghe: Seven Treasures Little Witch, if I'm not mistaken, you are the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong, right?]

[Xue Qinghe: And Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan, you must be Senior Dugu's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, correct?]

[Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit: ??? Really? Seven Treasures Little Witch, you're Ning Rongrong?]

[Nether Shadow: !!!]

[Ning Rongrong: I am. You guys wouldn't happen to be...]

Seeing her identity exposed, Ning Rongrong had actually expected it long ago. After all, her nickname was so obvious that anyone who wasn't a fool could figure it out, so there was no point in keeping it; she changed her name back.

However, seeing the reactions of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit and Nether Shadow, she quickly thought of something, though she paused at the critical moment.

[Dugu Yan: Xue Qinghe, even if you aren't Xue Ke, you must be a member of the royal family. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so familiar with me and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.]

Seeing that Ning Rongrong had changed her name back, Dugu Yan stopped hiding as well. The people behind them were all close to the Heaven Dou royal family.

There was only one Bibi Dong in the group, plus some unknown lackey of Martial Soul Hall; if they were to clash, the advantage would be on their side.

[Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit: Wow, it really is you, Rongrong! And that Jade Phosphorus Yan Yan, I never expected you to be Dugu Yan. Rongrong, guess who I am?]

[Dugu Yan: Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit? Rabbit? Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul? So it's you, that rabbit. In that case, since Nether Shadow reacted so strongly, she must be the Hell Spirit Cat, Zhu Zhuqing?]

[Ning Rongrong: I knew it was you, Xiao Wu. I felt that picture you just sent looked familiar, and Zhuqing's as well. I never expected us all to be invited into this chat group.]

[Xue Qinghe: To think that the three girls from Shrek Academy who defeated the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's seeded team are all in the same group.]

[Xue Qinghe: If you hadn't said anything, I would have only guessed two of you.]

[Zhu Zhuqing: ...]

[Dugu Yan: Xue Qinghe, who exactly are you? You aren't the Crown Prince, and you aren't Xue Ke. Could you be that playboy Xue Beng? No, that's not right, Xue Beng is a man. This is so hard to guess, it's making my brain hurt. Wu Xing, why don't you tell us who Xue Qinghe really is?]

[Xue Qinghe: ...]

As the identities of Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan were revealed by Qian Renxue, it triggered a chain reaction. One by one, their aliases were exposed, especially by that idiot Xiao Wu, whose excitement led her to reveal the names of several others.

Looking at this situation, it was hard to imagine how the three Shrek beauties could ever defeat the three Martial Soul Hall beauties to ascend to the position of female leads.

I suppose the only way would be to use plot armor and make them all love-struck fools; yes, that sounds about right.

However, just as the three Shrek girls were caught up in their excitement, a message filled with agitation, trembling, and utter disbelief popped up in the chat group.

[Ah Rou: Xiao... Xiao Wu? Is that you, Xiao Wu? Are you really Xiao Wu???]
