Qian Renxue: Would I Be as Stupid as You? Asking Questions in Public?

Across the Douluo Continent, countless people listened to Chen Shi explain the restroom, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San, Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the like were all connected to those lofty Soul Masters.

Life inside the villa, however, was intimately connected to ordinary people.

Yet the way of life in the Light Screen was worlds apart from that of the Douluo Continent. Even the toilet seemed extraordinary and beyond their reach.

For a while, many commoners were filled with envy for the life shown in the Light Screen.

At Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City.

Dai Mubai and the other three watched everything in the Light Screen, their faces full of emotion.

What lay inside this Light Screen looked anything but simple. If he could visit and ask about how the future would unfold, nothing could be better.

If he failed in the struggle for the succession in the future, the world within this Light Screen could also be somewhere they could take refuge from the Starfall Imperial Family's pursuit.

If possible, he truly wanted to send Zhu Zhuqing there and arrange a fallback for her while he could still mobilize some resources.

Just as he was about to ask Zhu Zhuqing what she thought, he happened to catch sight of Ma Hongjun out of the corner of his eye. Ma Hongjun was staring fixedly at the Sky Screen, his eyes motionless and his mouth slightly open, looking as though he was about to drool.

At Ma Hongjun's lecherous expression, Dai Mubai's face darkened.

He looked up at the Light Screen and found that it was showing Xiao Wu rushing into the restroom, unable to hold it any longer.

With that, it was easy to imagine what Ma Hongjun was thinking to wear such an expression.

Dai Mubai could not help giving Ma Hongjun a slap, sending him stumbling several steps forward.

"Boss Dai, what are you doing?"

With anger on his face, Ma Hongjun asked in bewilderment.

If he could have beaten Dai Mubai, he would have wanted to fight him over such an inexplicable sneak attack.

Seeing Ma Hongjun's expression, Dai Mubai said in exasperation at his failure to do better:

"Fatty, that's Xiao Wu! Little... San's sister. What are you doing?"

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun folded his arms, rolled his eyes, and said indifferently:

"Third Brother's sister? Boss Dai, Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even if we have no other intentions, do you think Xiao Wu will keep staying with us?

"Besides, everyone on the Douluo Continent can watch this Light Screen. I didn't make it. Why can everyone else watch, but I can't?"

His words left Dai Mubai utterly speechless.

That was right. Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. She could no longer be their companion.

Moreover, everyone on the Douluo Continent could watch this Light Screen. What right did he have to stop Fatty from watching?

For a moment, he could not help looking up himself, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun cried out:

"Fuck, they're actually not letting us watch! How stingy."

As it turned out, once Xiao Wu entered the restroom in the Light Screen, she was no longer shown.

As for Chen Shi and the others, they had gone to the living room to listen to Chen Shi explain a few things.

Inside the villa.

Chen Shi looked at the four beside him, thought for a moment, and finally asked Qian Renxue and Hu Liena:

"Well? It's been quite a while now. What questions do you want to ask me?"

At these words, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan both stared at Qian Renxue and Hu Liena. They wanted to see what sort of questions these two could ask.

After exchanging a glance with Hu Liena, Qian Renxue asked with a somewhat awkward expression:

"Hon... Honesty, could I find some time to ask you my question in private?"

At these words, the other four, including Chen Shi, froze.

They had all understood Qian Renxue's intention: she did not plan to let anyone else hear the question she asked.

Not let them hear it? How could that be allowed?

Wouldn't that mean Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan had lost out terribly by asking their questions earlier?

At once, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan rose angrily to their feet, pointing at Qian Renxue as they berated her:

"Qian Renxue, you're shameless! After listening to our questions, you're turning your back on us now!"

At this, thick disdain appeared on Qian Renxue's exquisite face:

"Shameless? No, you're just childish. Would I be as stupid as you? Asking questions in public?"

After saying this, Qian Renxue also felt it was somewhat inappropriate. She glanced at Chen Shi, then changed her tone and added:

"Of course, if it's mandatory, I can ask in public too."

At these words, the others all turned their gazes toward Chen Shi, wanting to see what he would require.

For Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, they naturally hoped the questions could be asked openly.

But for Qian Renxue and Hu Liena, they had already learned quite a few secrets, and the questions they wanted to ask concerned Spirit Hall. How could they let anyone else hear them?

As for Chen Shi, he did not know how to handle it for a moment either.

If the questions were not public, it would be rather unfair to Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan.

If they were public, however, a single question would let everyone know the answer, leaving her with fewer ways to keep them in hand.

After considering it briefly, Chen Shi decided keeping the questions private was better. Aside from letting the five learn a little less about the Douluo Continent's secrets, more importantly, he could spend time alone with each of them. Perhaps they could grow closer?

With that thought, Chen Shi smiled. "That's true. When I first gave each of you a chance to ask a question, I didn't place any restrictions on the setting. So when you ask your questions, you can choose to ask in private or in public!"

"How can that be? Haven't we lost out terribly?"

As soon as he finished, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan let out a wail and sat back on the sofa, looking rather miserable.

As for Qian Renxue, a smile of triumph appeared on her face. She had already decided on her question and planned to find Chen Shi to ask him shortly.

Just then, a door opened, and all five in the living room looked toward the restroom.

Xiao Wu walked out with a flushed face. Seeing so many people looking at her, she immediately grew embarrassed.

Seeing this, Chen Shi immediately stepped in to ease her predicament.

"All right, now that everyone's here, choose your suites and familiarize yourselves with them. Come downstairs later, and we'll prepare dinner together."

They were choosing rooms?

At Chen Shi's words, Qian Renxue and the other four all hesitated.

Chen Shi had already explained the layout of the rooms earlier, so for a moment, they did not know which location would be best.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu certainly wanted to stay together. Of course, Qian Renxue and Hu Liena had the same idea.

In the end, of the five, Dugu Yan was the first to speak:

"I... I'll choose that room on the top floor!"

After saying this, she lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

After all, Chen Shi, the owner's room was on the top floor. With the two of them staying next to each other, there was no telling what might happen.

Yet Dugu Yan's choice of the top floor instead presented Chen Shi with a difficult problem.
