In the Seed Space, Ah Yin was filled with regret at that moment! She had been so flustered just now, startled into thinking that Group Member Number Thirteen had somehow recognized her identity, and she had accidentally said the wrong thing. It was completely over now.
She was a Spirit Beast herself, and also Tang San's... well, half a mother! She knew that more than half of the people in the group chat would start guarding against her now. Ah Yin simply did not dare to speak in the group chat anymore.
Not long after, Bibi Dong's mute period ended.
"Bibi Dong: Spirit Beasts are a truly unique existence. A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast is even more special than our human Titled Douluo."
"Bibi Dong: Humans only need a few decades to cultivate to a Titled Douluo , but a Spirit Beast requires at least tens of thousands of years to cultivate to a hundred thousand year level."
"Bibi Dong: When any one of us absorbs a Spirit Ring, we have to face the desperate counterattack of the Spirit Beast's consciousness. The mental force and vitality of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast are far beyond anything we can imagine."
"Bibi Dong: I possess a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. Even though she has become a Spirit Ring, her consciousness hasn't completely faded away and can still influence me occasionally."
"Loves Eating Carrots: You... what did you just say..."
At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu suddenly stopped walking, her body shaking violently, tears streaming down her face.
"Mom."
"Mom still has consciousness."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were stunned, staring at Xiao Wu with strange expressions. Ning Rongrong, who was quite clever, looked up at Zhu Zhuqing at that moment, her large eyes darting around as if she had finally figured something out.
"I Am an Orphan: Bibi Dong, you're saying Ah Yin isn't completely dead, aren't you?"
"Cat in the Shadows: 'Spring Wind Blows, Grass Grows Again'âthat name must mean exactly that."
"Liu Erlong: I agree!"
"Yanzi Is Not Swallow: So, Spring Wind is definitely Tang San's mother?"
"Group Member Number Nine: Yes, Little Wild Goose, we all owe you an apology. You're the biggest genius this time!"
In the carriage, Dugu Yan was instantly overjoyed. She turned her head to look at Su Yan with anticipation. Su Yan, who had been lurking in the chat, simply nodded at Dugu Yan when he saw her look.
"That's great!" Dugu Yan exclaimed, excitedly kissing Su Yan on the cheek.
Dugu Bo looked utterly confused. His granddaughter seemed to have lost her mind a little since meeting Su Yan.
In the Seed Space, Ah Yin was also feeling sad. How did her chosen alias get exposed so easily? Alas.
"Bibi Dong: Ah Yin, you really should change your name! We know you are watching this. Actually, you should be more open-minded. Your identity exposure was bound to happen today."
"Hu Liena: Teacher, what does that mean?"
"Cat in the Shadows: Didn't we say last time that this next upgrade would talk about either Tang Hao or Tang San? No matter who it was, it would have been very difficult for Ah Yin's identity to remain hidden anymore."
"Yanzi Is Not Swallow: Wait a minute, are we going to be gossiping in front of the people who are actually involved again today?"
"Yanzi Is Not Swallow: This is too exciting! This group chat is amazing, Su Yan, I like you so much!"
Dugu Yan was truly happy and kissed Su Yan on the cheek again. Dugu Bo was now thoroughly embarrassed and couldn't help but quickly explain to Su Yan:
"Su Yan... that... Little Wild Goose isn't usually like this. I can assure you, her mind is perfectly fine. Little Wild Goose is a normal person."
Dugu Yan: ???
"Pfft." Ye Lingling couldn't help but laugh when she heard Dugu Bo's explanation.
"Spring Wind Blows, Grass Grows Again: I... you've guessed wrong, I'm not her."
"Hu Liena: Ah Yin, look, I'll explain this for you. Everyone, please don't misunderstand, I am not Ah Yin. I have a friend named Ah Yin. My friend Ah Yin is human, she isn't a Spirit Beast."
"Liu Erlong: This is such a classic defense!"
At the Moon Pavilion, Tang Yuehua was numb. She gripped the jade mirror tightly, not daring to utter a sound. Ah Yin! The secret she held was now known by the person she least wanted to know.
Liu Erlong patted Tang Yuehua and said, "Yuehua, you just need to be open and honest. When you're out in the world, if you make a mistake, you have to admit it. If you get hit, you have to stand firm."
"Didn't we talk this over last night? We decided to let everything be in the past, and then we'd go together to find young, handsome fresh meat to eat in the future?"
Tang Yuehua managed a bitter smile.
"Right?"
"I just need a moment to recover first!"
Liu Erlong shook her head. "You don't have much time left to be sad and embarrassed. You might be even sadder next."
"Ah?" Tang Yuehua asked with a puzzled expression. "Why? What else do I have to be sad about?"
"Hehe." Liu Erlong sat back, giving a cold smile. "We already agreed last time that this was going to be about either Tang Hao or Tang San. Now that Ah Yin's identity is exposed, it's probably going to be about Tang Hao."
"I remember Su Yan saying last time, 'don't think too highly of Tang Hao.' While it's inappropriate for me to say this, can the number one genius of the number one sect in the world really not protect his own wife?"
Tang Yuehua's face turned visibly ugly at those words. "No, impossible, he wouldn't have had any ill intentions towards Ah Yin."
Liu Erlong shook her head and replied, "I used to think that Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have any ill intentions either, but that was just what I thought. Anyone with eyes can see there was a problem."
"Tang Hao was the strongest genius of the Clear Sky Sect, and it's said he was the strongest genius on the continent at that time. If he genuinely wanted to live a good life with Ah Yin and knew her identity, he would have taken her back to the Clear Sky Sect early on. Do you think an accident still would have happened?"
"I believe that even if the Clear Sky Sect knew Ah Yin's identity, they would have protected Ah Yin because of Tang Hao's standing."
Tang Yuehua's face looked even worse after these words, and she couldn't speak. Yes! If he had truly wanted to live a good life, wouldn't Ah Yin have returned to the Clear Sky Sect to settle down after she became pregnant?
"Su Yan: Grass on the plain, withers and flourishes each year. Wildfire cannot burn it all, spring wind blows, grass grows again. Distant fragrance invades the ancient Dao, bright green connects the desolate city. Again, I send off the prince, with abundant parting feelings."
"Yanzi Is Not Swallow: ???"
"Group Member Number Nine: What a good poem!"
In the carriage, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked at Su Yan with stars in their eyes. He was handsome and dashing, highly talented, and had extraordinary strength. Who wouldn't be captivated by him?
"Bibi Dong: Indeed, wildfire cannot burn it all, spring wind blows, grass grows again."
"I Am an Orphan: Blue Silver Grass!"
"Liu Erlong: Ahem, Ah Yin, don't change your name yet. Wait until today's gossip is finished, after we've finished eating the melon, then you can change it."
"Hu Liena: So, Liu Erlong, you've been rained on, and now you want to tear up someone else's umbrella, is that it?"
"Group Member Number Thirteen: I finally caught up. Eating the melon live."
"Group Member Number Nine: Ah Yin, don't be nervous. Look, Su Yan even wrote a poem just for you today. In the past, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong never received such treatment."
"Seven Treasures Little Princess: Big Brother Su Yan, I want you to write a poem for me too."
"Su Yan: Really, really?"
"Su Yan: If you say that, I might talk about you next time."
"Seven Treasures Little Princess: ???"
"Yanzi Is Not Swallow: I wholeheartedly agree."
"Cat in the Shadows: I agree too!"
"Group Member Number Nine: It seems like we've opened the door to a new world of gossip, haven't we?"
"Liu Erlong: Old Woman, do you see? It's not just them gossiping about us. What goes around comes around. We can gossip about them in the future."
"Everyone: +10086."
"Seven Treasures Little Princess: ???"
