Zhu Zhuqing is Also a Fellow Daoist

Certainly.

Zhu Zhuqing also possessed a copy of the diary, though Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were not yet aware of it; she, too, was a fellow reader.

That afternoon, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were assigned to the same dormitory. Because of Zhu Zhuqing's cold and aloof temperament, the two of them hadn't managed to exchange more than a few words with her.

Just then.

As Ning Rongrong was complaining about the trashy food at Shrek, she suddenly saw the diary in her mind update, and her eyes lit up instantly.

[Spent the day hanging out with Ye Lingling at the Ye Family estate. Now, I'm off to find Qian Renxue for an interview, and tomorrow I can finally set off for Shrek.]

[If nothing goes wrong, I'll leave tomorrow morning and arrive in Suotuo City by nightfall. Making a rough estimate, Shrek should be holding their enrollment these next few days. I wonder if that Little Bastard, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing have arrived yet?]

[I really want to vent about the setting for Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia martial soul. It's one thing for a healing martial soul to be passed down through a single line, but did you really have to make it so that only two can exist at the same time?]

[This is a literal wet nurse—was it necessary to make the setting so miserable? The worst part is that you retconned this setting later on. I really think that's just trashy!]

[This isn't a game where you cast a skill and drain the opponent's health. If you bring a healer to keep your health topped off at all times, is a Soul Power duel even meaningful?]

[Some say the Nine Heart Begonia and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are like Cai Wenji and Ming Shiyin. They do look similar! But this isn't a game setting where you just use basic attacks and skills to drain HP!]

[Just imagine Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen in a magical duel, one with Cai Wenji behind him and the other with Ming Shiyin. Ming Shiyin is clicking away, buffing Erlang Shen, while Cai Wenji is saying: "Brother, hurry up and get hurt! If you don't get hurt, how can I heal you?"]

[Sun Wukong: You're a real piece of work!]

[Oh, right! I was supposed to write about Huo Wu today, but... alright, I'll come clean. I was bluffing. I bragged about knowing the past and future of the last thousand years and having the entire Douluo Continent in the palm of my hand, but I was actually just blowing smoke!]

[I've already written about Huo Wu before, but there really isn't much to criticize about her, and I don't know any of her backstory. Writing about her is less interesting than writing about Feng Xiaotian... wait?]

Heaven Dou City.

Su Chen, who was currently escorting Ye Lingling to the Crown Prince Mansion, suddenly saw a flash of light in his eyes and immediately copied the content he had written yesterday directly onto the page.

I really am a clever little devil!

In an instant.

All the women who saw the diary entry had a bunch of question marks pop up in their minds.

What is going on!

This content is exactly the same as yesterday's, not even a punctuation mark has changed. You're being way too lazy and padding the word count!

Shrek.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu stared at each other with wide eyes, both stunned.

"Absurd!"

"Absolutely absurd!"

Zhu Zhuqing, who had just finished eating not far away, saw the strange behavior of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu and immediately understood.

She had known that Xiao Wu possessed a diary copy, but now it turned out that Ning Rongrong was also an owner. No wonder these two were so close that even that legendary Uncle Tang San was getting jealous.

This?

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated. Having discovered two fellow readers, should she go over and say hello?

Just then, Dai Mubai sat down nearby, seemingly trying to strike up a conversation with her. A look of disgust flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and she stood up and walked directly toward Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.

"Um..."

Zhu Zhuqing pondered how to state her intentions, finally deciding to whisper into their ears:

"Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, love-struck master and disciple."

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's expressions turned to surprise instantly, and they immediately matched the code:

"Martial Soul Hall, Hu Liena, love-struck master and disciple."

"Oh my! Oh my!"

"It's you, it's you."

"It's me, it's me."

Once they confirmed they were fellow readers, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong suddenly grew excited. Each grabbed one of Zhu Zhuqing's arms, their relationship looking like long-lost best friends!

Seeing the three of them suddenly become so close, Dai Mubai frowned and asked Zhu Zhuqing:

"Did you know them before?"

Zhu Zhuqing ignored him completely.

Xiao Wu clenched her fist and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Don't pay him any mind. That blondie is no good; be careful not to get tricked by him."

Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously as well, "That's a lecherous tiger. I've already blacklisted him from my family's hotel."

Dai Mubai: ???

Damn it all!

This made Dai Mubai absolutely furious. You two bastards, I let you off the hook yesterday, and today you dare to be this arrogant with me?

Damn it!

I don't even have a reason to refute them.

Tang San remained silent on the side, though he felt a deep sense of unease in his heart; Xiao Wu was simply too trusting of others.

First it was Ning Rongrong, and now she was reacting so strongly to Zhu Zhuqing—where exactly had things gone wrong?

Blazing Fire Academy.

Huo Wu was currently numb with rage.

Dammit!

With this figure and this face of mine, even Fei Fengfeng next door is crying with envy.

And yet, you treat me with such perfunctory indifference?

Damn you!

You would rather write about Feng Xiaotian than me, and in the end, you even just copied yesterday's content. Su Chen! I hate you to death.

Just you wait!

The only silver lining was that Dugu Yan wasn't there to compete with her today, so she would finally be able to claim the reward.

Purple, purple, purple.

Thinking of that spirit ring, Huo Wu still felt it was quite sweet!

Crown Prince Mansion.

After finishing the diary, Qian Renxue hurriedly roused Hu Liena from the bed: "Get up quickly, Su Chen is coming."

Hu Liena opened her eyes lazily: "Let him come. I'll lie down for a while longer; call me when he arrives."

Qian Renxue tugged at Hu Liena's pajamas, and looking at this woman who was overflowing with Charm, she couldn't help but curse "Little Fox" in her heart.

Suddenly!

As she pulled on Hu Liena, the latter's clothes slipped, revealing two patches of snow-white skin, covered in quite a few red marks.

"Hm?"

"Nana, are you sick?"

"Why are there so many red marks on your chest? Were you bitten by something, or what happened?"

"Ah?"

Hu Liena's face suddenly flushed red. Seeing the confusion on Qian Renxue's face, she said with a straight face:

"It... it was a big mosquito that bit me last night. The mosquitoes in Heaven Dou City are fierce."

Qian Renxue felt a bit suspicious, but she didn't press the matter, instead saying:

"Hurry up and get up to change your clothes. Otherwise, when Su Chen arrives and sees you sleeping in my room wearing my pajamas, what kind of decorum is that?"

Hu Liena dismissed it: "Pfft! You're a girl too, what does it matter!"

"Alright, I'll lie down a bit longer until Su Chen comes to carry me home, hee hee hee!"

Qian Renxue was speechless. Seeing that blissful smile on Hu Liena's face, she felt as if the woman before her was a complete fool!

Crown Prince Mansion.

Su Chen stepped off the carriage with Ye Lingling, and a guard stepped forward to salute: "May I ask, are you Lord Su Chen?"

"Yes."

Su Chen nodded.

The guard led the way, saying: "His Highness the Crown Prince has already given instructions that you may proceed directly to the backyard upon arrival. His Highness has been waiting for you for quite some time."

After entering the backyard, the guards stopped in their tracks, allowing Su Chen and his companion to proceed inside on their own.
