Douluo 1 — Shrek Academy's Three Beauties' Dormitory.
"It was me who got Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather killed..."
"It was me who destroyed Father's lifelong dream..."
"It was me. It was all me."
"Perhaps the diary's owner was right. Those descendants of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might truly resent me in their hearts."
Ning Rongrong's eyes were red, her face covered in tears as she muttered to herself.
"Rongrong."
"Stop crying."
"None of this has happened yet. You still have a chance to change it, don't you?"
As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, Liu Erlong stepped forward as well. Without saying a word, she pulled Ning Rongrong into her arms in comfort.
As for Jiang Zhu and Xiao Wu, they stood to the side without moving.
Jiang Zhu was unfamiliar with Ning Rongrong and did not know what to say.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was wary because of Tang San. She feared that trying to comfort her would only have the opposite effect.
Knock, knock, knock.
Just as the only sound in the dormitory was Ning Rongrong's crying, a sudden knock came from the door.
"Who is it?"
As Xiao Wu asked, she walked out of the inner room and went to open the door.
"Why is it you?"
The moment she saw the visitor, Xiao Wu cried out in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"Why can't it be me?"
"Xiao Wu."
"Can you tell your brother what's wrong with you?"
Tang San had been smiling at the door, but when he saw Xiao Wu's strange reaction, his brows immediately furrowed.
"I-I can't talk to you right now."
"You should leave first."
"I'll come find you later."
Xiao Wu glanced toward the inner room and spoke softly.
Hearing this, Tang San's frown deepened. But before he could speak, an angry roar came from the inner room.
"Tang San, get lost!"
The next second, Ning Rongrong appeared in the living room, her gaze fixed on Tang San as though she wanted to devour him alive.
"What did you say?"
Tang San's expression turned cold.
He felt that Ning Rongrong truly was an ungrateful wretch. Had she forgotten that not long ago, he had given her an Immortal Herb and helped evolve her Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
"I said..."
"Mm!"
Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing did not want Ning Rongrong to make a bigger scene. Seeing that Ning Rongrong still wanted to continue arguing with Tang San, she hurriedly covered Ning Rongrong's mouth and dragged her back into the inner room.
"Brother."
"Rongrong's in a bad mood today. Don't hold it against her."
After seeing Zhu Zhuqing close the inner room's door, Xiao Wu explained on Ning Rongrong's behalf.
"Is that old habit of hers, looking down on everyone, acting up again?"
Tang San did not respond to Xiao Wu's words, instead asking a question of his own.
"I told you."
"Rongrong's in a bad mood today."
"Don't you believe me?"
Xiao Wu waved her hand irritably.
"Of course I believe you."
"You're my little sister. If I don't believe you, who else can I believe?"
Tang San said with a stifled, aggrieved smile.
"That's good."
"If you trust me, then leave first."
Perhaps having vented her temper a little, the displeasure in Xiao Wu's heart eased somewhat, and her tone was much better than before.
"Alright."
Tang San nodded and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Brother."
"Immortal Herbs... can a person really only take one in their lifetime?"
However, just as Tang San turned around, Xiao Wu's voice rang out faintly.
"Of course."
Hearing this, Tang San's expression stiffened for a moment before he immediately put on a smile and answered with absolute certainty.
"I understand."
Having gotten her answer, Xiao Wu expressionlessly shut the door.
"What's going on?"
"Why did Xiao Wu suddenly ask about Immortal Herbs?"
Outside the door, Tang San felt that something was off, yet he could not figure out what it was. He could only head toward the Training Field while thinking over everything that had happened recently.
At this moment, Shen Fan had no idea that because of his diary, Ning Rongrong had been completely shaken and had nearly gotten into an argument with Tang San. After pausing briefly to drink a cup of water, he resumed writing.
Back to Dugu Bo.
I really don't know what Dugu Bo was thinking.
The Heaven Dou imperial family invited him to become an imperial advisor, but he refused.
Spirit Hall invited him to become an elder, but he refused that too.
Yet when Tang San invited him to become Shrek Academy's honorary headmaster, he actually agreed.
Tang San had already ravaged your Herb Garden clean, yet not only did you not blame him, you even accepted his invitation.
Should I say you're magnanimous, or should I say you've got water in your brain?
Was it just because Tang San helped cure you and your granddaughter of your poison that you would agree to anything?
Did you never consider that Tang San never intended to truly help you get rid of all the poison?
Douluo 1 Dugu Yan: "What? How dare Tang San?"
Seeing this, Dugu Yan shot to her feet.
Tang San told you that you could transfer the poison into your own spirit bones.
Did you never consider whether this method was truly viable in the long term? What would happen to Dugu Yan's descendants afterward?
Let me put it this way.
Transferring the poison into your spirit bones could indeed ensure that you remained unharmed for a period of time.
But the capacity of a spirit bone was ultimately limited. Once the poison within exceeded the limit the spirit bone could endure, then... heh heh.
And with such a detoxification method, you, Dugu Bo, were still happily going along with it.
Let me ask you, what was so good about joining Tang San's camp?
Aside from barely helping you get rid of half your poison, you would gain nothing else.
No, that's not right.
You would also gain a bad reputation.
After all, in the future, under Yu Xiaogang's instigation, you poisoned all five hundred thousand people in an entire city to death.
Boom.
Another massive revelation—but this one caused all the women's expressions to change. Their impressions of both Yu Xiaogang and Dugu Bo instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
Originally, most of the female protagonists, female supporting characters, and female extras across the various worlds had felt sorry for Dugu Bo. Now, they could only say that he deserved it—and that he deserved to die.
Douluo 1 Bibi Dong: "Nonsense."
"Xiaogang is kinder than anyone else in the world. How could he possibly instigate Dugu Bo to do such a thing?"
"Anyway, I don't believe it."
Douluo 1 Liu Erlong: "Damn it."
"What level is Xiaogang, and what level is Dugu Bo? If it wasn't Dugu Bo's own intention, how could Xiaogang possibly order Dugu Bo around?"
Douluo 1 Dugu Yan: "How could my grandfather possibly do something like that?"
"I admit that my grandfather isn't exactly a good person, but he definitely isn't a bad person either."
"If you said my grandfather killed fifty people, I would believe it."
"But if you say five hundred thousand people, I absolutely won't believe it."
Actually, at the end of the day, as long as Tang San had been willing to give Dugu Yan a single Immortal Herb, the Dugu Family would never again have to face the problem of spirit backlash.
Unfortunately, Tang San clearly knew all this, yet he simply refused to take out even one Immortal Herb for Dugu Yan.
It was truly laughable. The Immortal Herbs had clearly belonged to the Dugu Family, yet in the end, the Dugu Family did not receive even a single one.
