The sudden scene left Su Yan at a loss.
Su Yan leaned aside to dodge, utterly bewildered. "Senior, what are you doing?"
"Senior, what are you doing?"
Bang!
In a flash Little Monkey shot in front of Su Yan, sent Qian Daoliu flying with one swing of his staff, and was about to chase him down for another beating.
Su Yan quickly raised a hand, signaling Little Monkey to stay calm.
"Senior, is there some misunderstanding between us?"
Whoosh!
The moment Qian Daoliu was knocked away he released his Angelic Spirit, Angelic Sacred Sword in hand.
"Misunderstanding?"
"You scoundrel—do you really not know what you've done?"
"And you still dare call it a misunderstanding?"
"I hadn't even come looking for you, yet you dared enter Spirit City, dared strike me?"
Today I'll cut you down, you bastard!"
Qian Daoliu was absolutely livid; he charged over with his sword. You trampled my cabbage and now you hit this old man?
Right now he wasn't the High Priest of Spirit Hall, wasn't some gentleman—he was merely a heartbroken father whose cabbage had been uprooted!
Well… to be fair, Qian Daoliu had at least asked for a name to be sure.
Su Yan dodged in a panic, totally muddled.
What the—?
This guy is Qian Daoliu?
He shouldn't be this frantic—like some thuggish geezer swinging a sword the instant we meet.
Wait…
Could he already know about Little Angel and me?
Who the hell blabbed… Porcupinefish? Snake Lance? Fine—wash your butts, you two bastards.
"Senior, calm down!"
"If you keep chasing, I'll fight back."
Qian Daoliu hesitated, glancing at the iron-staff-wielding Little Monkey whose nine spirit rings included seven from Vicious Beasts.
Crap.
Looks like I can't beat this cabbage-trampling bastard!
"You—"
"Do you even know who I am to Xiaoxue?"
Su Yan nodded frantically. "I know, I know."
"I know, I know."
Qian Daoliu still slashed at him. "And you dare fight back?"
Su Yan was speechless.
As expected!
Forget it.
I'm not playing with you lot today.
Next time I'll ride my Ghost-Motorcycle and park it right at the gates of Spirit Hall!
"Eighth spirit ring, Second Spirit Ability—Sleeve World!"
Su Yan unleashed the ability, released Bibi Dong, and prepared to bolt.
[Su Yan: It's raining—gotta go home and bring the laundry in.]
Speaking of which—
inside Sleeve WorldBibi Dong had blasted around for ages without finding any exit; every attack vanished like stones sinking into the sea.
Suddenly a ripple of spatial fluctuation appeared.
Bibi Dong seized the instant: Supreme Spider King in front, three Bibi Dongs behind, their terrifying spirit power combining into a shockwave that blasted toward the glimmer of light.
As the surroundings grew brighter she was overjoyed. "I've broken—Qian Daoliu??"
Bibi Dong hastily reined in her power.
Boom!!
A tidal wave of spirit power surged outward.
Qian Daoliu had been charging at Su Yan when the suddenly-appeared Supreme Spider King's fearsome spirit power sent him flying.
Luckily it only grazed him; even with Bibi Dong holding back, a direct hit would probably cost him half his life—but Su Yan could revive him anyway.
"What the—?"
Seeing Qian Daoliu vomit blood and go flying, Su Yan almost burst out laughing.
Old Geezer—
told you not to chase.
"Go heal him; I'm out."
Su Yan gave Little Monkey his orders, then used Somersault Cloud and vanished from Spirit City.
Little Monkey tracked the direction Qian Daoliu had flown, found the old man lying in a crater doubting life, cast a life-restoring Spirit Ability, then hopped onto Somersault Cloud and chased after Su Yan.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What just happened?"
Qian Daoliu felt his injuries fully healed, utterly bewildered.
He'd seemed to see three Bibi Dongs, a colossal spider, and felt the crushing pressure of death—something he'd never experienced even against Tang Chen or Bo Saixi.
Meanwhile—
Bibi Dong was equally baffled: how had she blasted Qian Daoliu away the instant she broke out of Su Yan's ability?
What's going on?
"Nana?"
"What happened here?"
Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, then after sorting her thoughts explained: "Teacher, you vanished earlier; the High Priest arrived and chased Su Yan to hit him. Su Yan didn't want to fight back, so he released you and ran."
"Nonsense!" Bibi Dong's face darkened. "He didn't release me—I shattered his ability myself!"
Hu Liena gave her a dubious look: Teacher, do you really think it's coincidence you emerged the exact moment Su Yan left?
[Hu Liena: Wait—Su Yan, you… I haven't boarded yet! Take me with you! What am I supposed to do now?]
[Hu Liena: Su Yan, take me away!]
[Group Member Number Nine: Yanzi, Yanzi, take me with you???]
[Liu Erlong: Yanzi, how am I supposed to live without you! Yanzi… Yanzi…]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Be happy, be blessed!]
[Bo Saixi: Like hell you're leaving! We haven't filmed or explained anything—Hu Liena, what's your situation?]
[Tang Yuehua: You're the clumsiest cameraman, worst melon-eating experience, most infuriating fool we've ever seen.]
[Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Tomorrow we're eating you!]
[Nine Treasures Little Princess: Hu Liena, you're so useless!]
[Loves Eating Carrots: So dumb—Su Yan went to Spirit Hall and she still blew the chance, haha!!]
[Winter Cutie: So no Peak showdown anymore?]
[I Am an Orphan: Hu Liena, can you even do anything right?]
Crown Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue was exasperated.
This Hu Lena can't even handle something so simple—back then Xiao Wu managed to explain everything about Tang San and Yu Xiaogang at Nuoding Academy.
Today's events left everyone utterly confused.
Private messages.
[Su Yan: Little Angel, I just got beaten up.]
Qian Renxue was stunned.
What—someone actually hit you?
[I Am an Orphan: You lost to Bibi Dong?]
[Su Yan: Not Bibi Dong—some Old Geezer.]
[I Am an Orphan: ???]
[I Am an Orphan: Besides Bibi Dong, who could beat you? An old… don't tell me it's my grandpa?]
[Su Yan: Yeah, I ran without fighting back.]
Seeing that, Qian Renxue smiled—at least the scoundrel has a conscience.
[I Am an Orphan: Grandpa Porcupinefish returned to Spirit City yesterday; he must've told my grandpa everything about you.]
[Su Yan: No wonder he threw a punch and came at me with a sword—why didn't you warn me? I'd have postponed visiting Bibi Dong.]
[I Am an Orphan: So who won between you and Bibi Dong?]
[I Am an Orphan: Hu Liena botched it—no footage, no photos, no explanation.]
[Su Yan: Can't blame Little Fox; she blanked for a second and our duel was already over.]
[I Am an Orphan: ???]
