Qian Renxue looked around carefully and found that no one had broken in, but there was an extra small black brick on the ground, making her feel a bit panicked.
After all, her guards She Long and Ci Xue were both Titled Douluo.
Who could have sent this object into her bedchamber without anyone noticing?
How terrifying must the opponent's strength be?
"Eh?"
Qian Renxue warily picked up the small brick.
She found that besides looking square, small, and exquisite, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.
Just as she was feeling uncertain, the screen of the small brick suddenly lit up, displaying content:
[Douluo Chat and Mutual Aid Group (11)]
"Chat? Mutual aid?"
Qian Renxue furrowed her elegant brows, her heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Could this be some kind of spirit tool left over from ancient times?
Its function was actually to let people talk from a distance?
Just as she was wondering.
The first message lit up in the group:
[The Richest Little Rich Girl in Heaven Dou: Hello everyone!]
[The Richest Little Rich Girl in Heaven Dou: Is anyone there?]
[The Richest Little Rich Girl in Heaven Dou: Why isn't anyone talking?]
[The Richest Little Rich Girl in Heaven Dou: Didn't it say there were people to chat with? How dare you lie to this young lady! Believe it or not, I'll have someone tear down this crappy chat group of yours!]
Qian Renxue: "..."
Looking at that conspicuous nickname, the image of that little princess from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Well, from being well-behaved to revealing her true nature, she really was just like a little demoness!
At this moment, another message popped up:
[Li Yuan: You, shut up first!]
[Li Yuan: Hello to all the family members who just joined the group. I am the Group Owner. It is a destiny given by heaven that everyone can join this group.]
[Li Yuan: As long as you are in the group, we are all family. I believe everyone here will become the closest of partners. Let us encourage each other for a better tomorrow!]
[The Richest Little Rich Girl in Heaven Dou: Hmph, who's family with you? There are plenty of people who want to flatter this young lady.]
[The Richest Little Rich Girl in Heaven Dou: Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?]
(The Richest Little Rich Girl in Heaven Dou has been muted by the Group Owner for thirty minutes.)
[Li Yuan: What kind of person is this? No manners at all, how disgusting!]
[Li Yuan: Family members, don't be afraid. This Group Owner has always valued harmony. As long as everyone speaks civilly and keeps the language clean, I generally won't interfere.]
Seeing this scene, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her heart was no longer calm.
The Group Owner can even mute people?
Will this muting affect reality?
Clearly, many people had the same doubts as Qian Renxue. For a moment, the group was silent as no one dared to speak rashly, all observing in the dark... Meanwhile.
In a luxurious bedroom in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Rongrong was wearing a white nightgown, curled up on the bed without any semblance of her usual image.
A fair and well-proportioned calf slipped out from under the quilt, glowing delicately in the sunlight.
The nightgown was rolled up to her waist, revealing half of a perky curve that rose and fell gently with her huffy breathing.
This little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had thought it was quite novel when she first got this strange "brick."
There were many rules in the Sect, and her peers either feared her or yielded to her. They either played with her superficially or called her a little demoness in private, which was truly boring.
She thought having a "mysterious group chat" where she could make new friends seemed like a good pastime.
But she never expected that just as she said hello, not only did she not get a warm response, but she was also directly... muted by that Group Owner named Li Yuan?
"It's fine if no one pays attention to me... but he actually dares to mute me?!"
Ning Rongrong's fair and tender cheeks began to flush at a visible rate, turning from a light pink all the way to her ears, like a ripe peach.
"Aaaaaah—!"
She suddenly bounced up from the bed, her jet-black long hair drawing a circle in the air with the movement.
"Damn it! How dare he say this young lady has no manners?!"
"Li Yuan, right... This young lady will remember you! No one, absolutely no one has ever dared to treat me like this!"
The more Ning Rongrong thought about it, the angrier she got. She grabbed the down pillow beside her and hammered it hard several times, as if it were Group Owner Li Yuan's hateful face.
Still not satisfied.
She jumped onto the soft carpet barefoot, then felt the coldness under her feet and hurriedly put on the pair of exquisite White Silk Socks by the bed.
Then she raised a small foot wrapped in a white sock and stomped on the pillow for a while.
"Stomp you to death! Stomp you to death, you annoying Group Owner!"
"Muting me! Calling me disgusting!"
Ning Rongrong stomped while muttering fiercely, her cheeks puffed out like buns.
After stomping for a long time, she finally stopped, panting, with her hands on her hips, glaring at the small brick with fire almost spitting from her beautiful almond eyes.
"Hmph! This matter isn't over between this young lady and you!"
...A few minutes later, messages appeared in the group again.
[Big Cat in the Dark Night: Understood.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: So that's how it is. You scared me to death.]
[Little Fox Who Likes Teacher the Most: Group Owner Brother~ Don't worry, I won't be like that ill-mannered person just now. I'm the most well-behaved and civil~ (Voice Message)]
Hearing that last voice message, which was so cloying it could practically drip water, Qian Renxue's hand shook, almost dropping the "brick" into the bathtub.
"Blegh—!"
So manipulative!
She reeks of a harlot fox!
She couldn't take it anymore; she had to say something.
[Child Without Parents: Was your voice caught in a door or stepped on by a Spirit Beast? It sounds so nauseating! Can't you talk properly? If not, just don't send voice messages!]
As soon as the message was sent, Qian Renxue was stunned.
This was actually her group nickname?
Child Without Parents?
What kind of crappy name is this?
"I have a father! I have a mother too, okay!"
Qian Renxue was so angry that she slapped the "brick" onto the water's surface, splashing water everywhere: "What kind of bullshit chat group is this, giving out names randomly!"
[Little Fox Who Likes Teacher the Most: Where did this little orphan come from? No wonder you have no father or mother, spouting filth like that. Are you jealous of my beautiful voice? I always talk like this, and even the Group Owner Brother hasn't said anything.]
[The Yandere Maniac Beauty of the Spirit Hall: You dare to insult my disciple? Do you know who you are offending? I am Bibi Dong @Child Without Parents. If you have the guts, come out. Believe it or not, I'll have someone skin you alive?]
Seeing this message, the few figures in the group who had wanted to speak up instantly submerged again, shivering with fear.
Bibi Dong!
If this person really was Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong.
Then wouldn't her disciple be the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall?
Supreme Pontiff!
Holy Maiden!
Oh my god!
Did they accidentally intrude into the imperial family?!!
Qian Renxue, who had just thrown the brick into the water, heard the notification sound. Although she was so angry she didn't want to look at it, the curiosity in her heart was piqued again.
She gritted her teeth and fished it back out of the water.
Fortunately, the quality of this brick was good, and being soaked in water had no effect at all.
As soon as she opened the chat group, she saw a scene that made her sad.
On the screen, Bibi Dong's words scolding her for that "vixen" were particularly eye-piercing!
Qian Renxue's heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and then an even fiercer surge of anger rushed up.
Fine, this crappy name... it was chosen well.
She felt it was quite appropriate for the occasion now!
[Child Without Parents: Hmph! You want to skin me? Come then! Come personally if you have the guts! Do you really think being a Supreme Pontiff allows you to do whatever you want?]
[Child Without Parents: As far as I know, the true master of Spirit Hall has never been an outsider Supreme Pontiff like you. Which of the Enshrinement Elders in the Enshrinement Hall doesn't have more power than you?]
[Child Without Parents: Do you have the Seraphim Spirit? Someone who hasn't even been bathed in the Angelic Radiance—even if you sit in that position, how many people truly respect you!]
Qian Xunji: So?
As soon as this was said, the few lurking in the group were scared out of their wits.
Were these kinds of secrets really something they should be hearing?
Wouldn't they be silenced for knowing this?
Of course, there were also a few who weren't afraid of Bibi Dong and came out to support Qian Renxue.
[Loves Eating Carrots: Exactly, I've seen Bibi Dong's Spirit; it's so evil. A wicked woman like her doesn't deserve to sit on the throne of the Supreme Pontiff!]
[Child Without Parents: Well said, sister!]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: Tsk tsk tsk... Bibi Dong, oh Bibi Dong, why are you so disliked? Why are you being cursed everywhere you go? Hahahaha...]
[Little Fox Who Likes Teacher the Most: You! How dare you insult my teacher! Are you really not afraid of death?]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: What's wrong with insulting your teacher Bibi Dong? Not only will I curse her, I'd even dare to step on her face, believe it or not?]
[Little Fox Who Likes Teacher the Most: Hmph, I don't believe you!]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: You don't believe me, right? Fine, fine, fine, you just wait...]
Meanwhile.
In a dormitory at Nuoding Academy.
Li Yuan watched the conversation in the group quickly derail into a heated argument, silently wiping away a cold sweat.
This batch of group members has quite the combat power.
He chose to temporarily put down the noisy chat interface and, following the system prompts, prepared to receive the rewards for this "Batch Invitation."
"System, claim rewards!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully inviting ten group members! Rewards are being distributed...]
[Critical multiplier triggered! Rewards increased by a hundredfold!]

Looking at the radiant and colorful system prompts before him, Li Yuan suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes wide and round.
These rewards... are just too incredible!"
