Everyone Needs to Save Some Face

Xiao Xiao stared at Wang Dong'er for a long time, and seeing that she really didn't feel embarrassed at all, she couldn't help but reach out and poke her arm.

Xiao Xiao's cheeks puffed out. "Sister Dong'er! Why aren't you reacting at all! You're involved in what's being said here, aren't you? Being publicly accused of being gay, don't you feel mortified?"

Wang Dong'er put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked up at her with a mischievous smile, "What's so funny? I already knew about this from the diary, so I was mentally prepared. Of course, I'm not as shy as you."

"How can that be the same?!"

Xiao Xiao's face turned even redder, and she covered her cheeks with her hands, which were burning hot. "This is about me, not you, so of course you don't feel anything, right!"

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. She buried her face in her arms and muttered, "It's all Lin Ye's fault! Why did he have to write about my embarrassing moments?"

When I run into him again, I'm going to make him write down everyone's dark history. I can't let him be the only one who gets humiliated!

"Okay, don't be angry."

Wang Dong'er smiled and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake for her, pushing it in front of her. "Anyway, it's not a matter of principle, everyone will just tease you a bit and then it will be over."

Besides, they'll definitely write about other people later, then you'll be able to laugh it off. Maybe Huo Yuhao will be next?

Xiao Xiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes brightening. "That's right! Huo Yuhao must have had plenty of embarrassing moments too! When I write about him, I'm going to laugh my head off!"

She clenched her fists, and most of her earlier embarrassment vanished instantly, replaced by a mind full of anticipation to see others make fools of themselves.

The Far North.

Ice Empress sat cross-legged, a hint of disdain in his eyes, and scoffed, "Human children are so pretentious. They call such trivial matters 'black history'? If this were among our Soul Beast Clan, they wouldn't even qualify as a laughing stock."

A faint smile played in Snow Empress's icy blue eyes, her voice clear and gentle. "I find it quite interesting. The blunders and embarrassing moments of youth are full of life, much more interesting than cultivating with a perpetually serious face."

"What's so interesting? Being reckless and outspoken."

Ice Empress curled his lip. "That little girl named Xiao Xiao dares to mutter nonsense in front of people. If it were me back in the Far North, I would have frozen her into an ice sculpture and thrown her into the snow to reflect on her actions."

"You're just so stubborn."

Snow Empress smiled and shook her head, her gaze falling on her. "When the diary just now mentioned Xiao Xiao being chased, who stopped cultivating and listened more attentively than anyone else?"

Ice Empress's ears burned, and she immediately retorted as if her hair had stood on end, "I was just curious about what exactly 'social death' is! Who was listening? I don't care about such trivial matters!"

She turned her face away, pretending to be calm as she straightened her skirt, but the slightly reddened tips of her ears betrayed her completely.

Snow Empress didn't expose her, and nodded in agreement. "Okay, you're just curious."

She turned to look into the distance, her tone tinged with anticipation, "Whose dark history will we be talking about next? I wonder what interesting past events will unfold."

"Hmph, what could it be? It's nothing more than some embarrassing acts of showing off and being tough."

Ice Empress spoke with disdain, but his body subtly straightened up a little, and his consciousness once again sank into the Diary Copy in his mind.

Since we're going to talk about dark history, let's continue, and share some of it evenly.

Next, let's talk about Tang Ya. Most of her dark history is related to being "stubborn" and "showing off".

She's clearly a soft-hearted girl, but she insists on acting like a mature sect leader, and every time she messes up, it's incredibly funny.

The first and most classic example is the "Sect Leader's Authority Failure Incident" when Huo Yuhao first joined the Tang Sect.

At that time, the Tang Sect was just starting out, and there were only her and Bei Bei at most. It was not easy for them to take in Huo Yuhao as his first new disciple.

Tang Ya deliberately dug out her dark-colored close-fitting clothes from the bottom of her trunk, and practiced a serious expression in front of the mirror for a long time, intending to leave a dignified and reliable impression on the new disciples.

As soon as Huo Yuhao entered, she walked forward with an air of importance, but accidentally stepped on the hem of her overly long dress, causing her to stumble forward and almost fall right in front of Huo Yuhao.

Luckily, Bei Bei reacted quickly and reached out to catch her, preventing her from falling flat on her face.

The carefully constructed authority of the sect leader was shattered into pieces.

Huo Yuhao suppressed his laughter and dared not utter a sound, while Tang Ya's face turned bright red. She still managed to wave her hand defiantly, saying that she was deliberately testing his reaction to see if the new disciple would panic in a crisis.

His stubbornness made even Bei Bei, who was standing next to him, turn her face away and chuckle.

The second embarrassing incident was when he practiced using Hidden Weapon and ruined Bei Bei's clothes.

The Tang Sect is founded on Hidden Weapon, and as the sect leader, Tang Ya naturally has to take the lead in practicing them.

However, she was impatient and became clumsy when practicing with Hidden Weapon. Once, while practicing with the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, she didn't control the recoil properly, and the crossbow bolt went completely astray.

The bullets whizzed and sprayed all over the clothes drying in the yard.

As luck would have it, all those clothes belonged to Bei Bei.

More than a dozen robes were riddled with holes from the bullets, like sieves.

When Bei Bei came back, her face was dark. She confronted her with the clothes, but Beibei stubbornly insisted that she had deliberately aimed at the clothes to test the power of the Hidden Weapon.

That very night, she secretly washed Bei Bei's clothes for a week as an apology, only to be caught red-handed by Bei Bei and teased about it for a long time.

Besides these, she had many other similar embarrassing incidents. For example, she set up a stall to attract new students.

So nervously, he said "Join the Tang Sect and you'll be taught Hidden Weapon" instead of "Join the Tang Sect and you'll have food and lodging provided," attracting a bunch of new students who wanted to freeload.

For example, when he had a fight with Bei Bei, he threatened to run away from home, but he returned dejectedly after walking less than half a block because he had no money for food.

In truth, all of her so-called "dark history" was just a young girl's petty temper and stubbornness.

She always talks about how she wants to strengthen the Tang Sect and be a qualified sect leader, but deep down she's still a stubborn, greedy, and temperamental girl.

It is precisely these imperfect and embarrassing moments that make her, the Tang Sect Master, so vivid, not a lofty symbol, but a flesh-and-blood Tang Ya who can cry and laugh.

As for her being Evil Soul Master, let's just forget about it.

Strictly speaking, Tang Ya has the most dark history, and she's quite a bad person.

However, since this dark history is arranged in an entertaining manner, let's not talk about her being Evil Soul Master and harming people.

If we include this incident, I don't even want to imagine how dark her past really is.

In short, it's mostly meant to be lighthearted; we'll leave other things aside for now and just mention them briefly.

It was simply that Tang Ya, under immense pressure to revive the Tang Sect, embarked on a path of no return.

The original work later attempts to redeem the character, but the redemption was somewhat hasty and left many people dissatisfied.

But generally speaking, the number of people who like it and those who dislike it is probably about equal.

Okay, we should at least save some face.
