Xiao Wu left. She had begun to believe some of what Chu Bai had recorded in the diary. Tang San getting beaten up had happened almost at the same time as well. Did that mean things in the future would also happen...
"Little San, Xiao Wu seems really angry this time. Did you two have a fight?" Oscar asked quietly.
Tang San shook his head, his expression grim.
He had no idea why Xiao Wu had suddenly become like this. He had not done anything.
Could it be that time of the month?
"Let's send Boss Dai and Fatty back first. Their injuries are worse than mine," Tang San said.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had already followed behind Xiao Wu, heading toward the dormitories.
[The host has defeated Tang San for the first time and received a random reward: Universal Poison Control Pill. After taking it, the host can perfectly control their own poison techniques without any side effects.]
In his room, when Chu Bai heard that defeating Tang San could earn him a reward, the little bit of sleepiness he had felt vanished at once. If beating Tang San gave him rewards, then all he had to do was go take care of him every day, right?
"It's probably just a first-victory reward. I know this system's habits all too well. But this Universal Poison Pill..."
The night passed without incident.
The next day, Chu Bai looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo before him and said, "Elders, we'll set off shortly. For now, I'm going to take a stroll around Heaven Dou City."
"Yes, Holy Son."
Chu Bai arrived in Heaven Dou City. Since no one knew his identity, he did not need to hide it. During his years as the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, he had rarely shown his face. Only a very small number of people could recognize him.
As he walked, Chu Bai suddenly saw a group of soldiers slowly approaching along the street ahead, seemingly clearing the way. Behind them was a carriage.
"It's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. I didn't expect to see him here today!"
A woman nearby said this with stars in her eyes.
Chu Bai looked at her lovestruck expression and helplessly shook his head. Through the carriage window, he could indeed see a handsome young man in noble attire seated inside.
Qian Renxue. We finally meet, Chu Bai thought with a smile.
[Not bad luck. I ran into Qian Renxue in Heaven Dou City early this morning. She really does look the part as crown prince, but she's still not as handsome as me. She's nowhere close. It seems our last meeting was a long time ago. She probably doesn't recognize me either.]
Words appeared in the Diary Instance.
Qian Renxue, seated in the carriage, froze. She looked through the window toward the streets on either side and quickly spotted Chu Bai among the crowd...
So this guy really is here, Qian Renxue thought. She then signaled for the carriage to stop, while Chu Bai was slightly taken aback when he saw it halt.
[Why did she stop the carriage? Don't tell me she was captivated by my looks? That can't be right. Your identity is male right now. Broad daylight, two men... that's not very appropriate!]
Qian Renxue, who was getting out of the carriage, stumbled and nearly fell...
"..."
Qian Renxue could not stop the corner of her mouth from twitching. This guy is truly shameless. Who knows what he thinks about all day long? If I didn't have to keep my identity hidden right now, I'd definitely teach him a lesson.
Chu Bai examined Qian Renxue and could not help giving his assessment.
[Hmm, even dressed as a man, she's still quite good-looking. I just wonder whether Qian Renxue or Bibi Dong is prettier.]
Elsewhere, Bibi Dong and Xiao Wu also saw the diary's contents. Bibi Dong merely found it somewhat amusing. It seemed her disciple and her daughter had already met. However, Bibi Dong's expression soon changed slightly.
I wonder if Xiao Bai will tell her the truth about what happened back then...
Xiao Wu's expression, on the other hand, was incredibly vivid.
"The crown prince... is a woman disguised as a man? The crown prince is fake?!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly ran over and whispered to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, it's so boring here. Let's go have fun in Heaven Dou City!"
Xiao Wu might not have agreed in the past, but now she could not suppress her curiosity. She wanted to go to Heaven Dou City and see Chu Bai for herself, so she agreed to Ning Rongrong's suggestion. The two soon left Shrek Academy.
After the two of them left, a figure appeared there. It was Tang San.
"Xiao Wu, what exactly is wrong with you? I have to find out..."
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, but she still walked through the crowd with a smile on her face and stopped before Chu Bai.
Chu Bai looked at Qian Renxue with a strange expression. Did this girl recognize me?
"Friend, have we met somewhere before?" Qian Renxue asked with a smile.
"We met when we were children." Chu Bai smiled and nodded.
The people around them immediately cast scornful looks at Chu Bai. Even if he wanted to curry favor with His Highness the Crown Prince, was that not a little too outrageous? His Highness had lived in the imperial palace as a child. What status did this guy have?!
"Hehe, I am Xue Qinghe. If you are interested, perhaps you can join me. We may have something to discuss."
"I'd be delighted."
Chu Bai naturally did not mind having a proper chat with Qian Renxue. Under the envious gazes of those around them, he left with her.
"Long time no see, Qian Renxue." Chu Bai followed Qian Renxue to a teahouse. It was private enough, so he got straight to the point.
"You recognized me long ago after all. What are you doing in the Heaven Dou Empire?" Qian Renxue did not conceal anything either, returning to her usual cool tone.
Chu Bai shrugged. "Naturally, I came to sightsee and travel, while teaching a few street punks a lesson along the way. That was also Teacher's intention."
"That woman..."
Qian Renxue's expression was complicated. After falling silent for a while, she did not continue.
"I've recently noticed someone named Tang San. He appears to be Tang Hao's son. He's quite talented. If he is allowed to grow, he may affect my plans," Qian Renxue suddenly said.
This time, Chu Bai was dumbfounded.
Come on, this was way too early. How had she already noticed Tang San?! This was not how the plot was supposed to go, was it?
Seeing Chu Bai's shocked expression, Qian Renxue could not help smiling smugly to herself. You kept saying those things about me in the diary. I've finally gotten one back over you!
"If you think he might affect you, then get rid of him," Chu Bai said after recovering, testing the waters.
"There is a powerful expert backing him. Spirit Hall is not afraid, but it does not want trouble either. After all, the one supporting him may very well not be human."
Qian Renxue continued.
Chu Bai nearly sprayed out his mouthful of tea. Not human?
Then what was it, a god?!
Could it be that you, Qian Renxue, have a system too?
