On the other side, Qian Renxue and Hu Liena were filled with the same confusion as Bibi Dong.
They were all wondering: who exactly were these three idiot beauties?
Qian Renxue even temporarily detached herself from the grief brought by her life story and secretly gritted her teeth:
"The thousand-year foundation of my Spirit Hall was just played away by you three women? Don't let me find you three idiots, or else, I will definitely show you what's what!"
[Li Yuan: Alright, everyone, today's storytelling session ends here. Let's chat next time; I have to bail first.]
After saying that, Li Yuan's avatar immediately dimmed, displaying "Offline".
Everyone:???
Wait, you're running away just when the story reached the most crucial, most suspenseful part?
[Heaven Dou's Richest Little Rich Girl: Group Owner, how could you do this? Make things clear before you leave! Who exactly are those three idiot beauties? (Cat scratching frantically)]
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: Exactly, how irresponsible. You cliffhanger dog! I've even... oh no, I've finished all my melon seeds, and you're showing me this? (Angrily throwing melon seeds)]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Group Owner brother, come back quickly, I can't sleep now!]
[Big Cat in the Dark Night:... (Silently putting away the small notebook, feeling like I've recorded a whole lot of nothing)]
[Ice and Snow Smart: Group Owner brother... this... (Hesitating to speak, curiosity completely piqued)]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: Hmph, he sure runs fast! (Gritting teeth)]
[The Yandere Maniac Beauty of the Spirit Hall: Nana, come to my Supreme Pontiff Palace for a moment.]
Bibi Dong discovered that although this group, including the Group Owner Li Yuan, was very annoying, it wasn't without its merits.
For example, calling people over was much more convenient.
Spirit Academy.
The summoned Hu Liena's delicate little face instantly turned pale.
Teacher... she wouldn't be suspecting that I am one of those three "idiot beauties," would she?
I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
Hu Liena really wanted to clarify in the group immediately, but her reason told her that the more she tried to explain, the worse it would look.
And after what just happened, Teacher's mood at this moment was likely... very bad.
She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm her racing heart, and sent a reply.
[Little Fox Who Likes Teacher the Most: Okay, Teacher, I'm coming right over.]
After sending this message, she didn't dare delay for a second and immediately got up to rush to the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
She... shouldn't "pass away" today, right?
...Inside the dormitory at Nuoding Academy.
Li Yuan happily exited the group chat interface.
He looked at the "Group Chat Activity/Experience Points" progress bar that only he could see.
It had surged forward by a large margin and was on the verge of reaching the threshold for leveling up.
"Tsk tsk, looks like in a few days, the group chat will be able to reach level two."
A pleasant arc curled at the corner of Li Yuan's mouth: "When that time comes, I can unlock new functions and even claim a wave of rewards... Sweet!"
...Supreme Pontiff Palace.
The heavy palace doors were pushed open a crack, and Hu Liena, trembling with fear, poked half her head in, cautiously observing her teacher's expression.
"Teacher, you were looking for me?"
"Nana, are you very afraid?"
Bibi Dong turned around, her purple eyes looking at her calmly.
"No, no."
Hu Liena shook her head hurriedly, but her slightly trembling calves still betrayed her inner tension.
Bibi Dong gently stroked her cheek: "See, you say you're not afraid, yet you're shaking."
This abnormal tenderness made Hu Liena even more panicked. She lowered her head, her voice carrying worry: "Teacher, I... I'm just afraid for Spirit Hall..."
Although she didn't continue, both of them in the chat group knew exactly what she meant.
Bibi Dong withdrew her hand, her gaze turning cold: "Don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, your teacher will be there to hold it up. It's not the turn of three idiot women to cause chaos in Spirit Hall!"
Hearing this, Hu Liena felt much more at ease, and a sliver of hope even rose in her heart.
Maybe Li Yuan was just mistaken?
Bibi Dong asked in a low voice: "I called you over because I want to ask you, what do you think of this chat group? Is it good or bad for my Spirit Hall?"
Li Yuan had said too many things in the chat group today, making her, who had been the Supreme Pontiff for many years, feel uneasy for the first time.
Even when facing Qian Daoliu back then, she had never felt such pressure.
Bibi Dong even had a feeling of being "thoroughly investigated." In front of Li Yuan, she felt like a naked young girl with no secrets to speak of.
For Bibi Dong, who had a strong desire for control and an extreme lack of security, this was incredibly distressing.
Hu Liena thought for a moment and said softly: "Teacher, I think the chat group might not necessarily be a bad thing for us."
"Oh? Tell me more."
A sharp glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Think about it. Since this Li Yuan knows so many secrets that ordinary people cannot know, even including things that might happen in the future."
Hu Liena raised her eyes, her gaze shimmering with an intelligence that didn't match her charming appearance: "Then why can't we, in turn, utilize him?"
"Utilize the information he knows to avoid risks for ourselves, and even clear out existences that might threaten Spirit Hall in the future ahead of time."
"Utilize him?" Bibi Dong was somewhat hesitant.
Li Yuan knew so many secrets; could she really control him?
Moreover, this Li Yuan guy wasn't exactly a decent person.
After all, what kind of decent person could say he envied Qian Xunji?
He lusts after my body.
He's despicable!
Seeing Bibi Dong's hesitation, Hu Liena quickly said: "Teacher, just leave this matter to me. I will build a good relationship with him in the group and try to slowly extract useful information."
She paused and added: "Also, Teacher, in the future in the group, try not to be at loggerheads with him right from the start. Perhaps... overcoming hardness with softness will yield better results?"
Bibi Dong extended her slender finger and gently pinched Hu Liena's supple cheek, laughing in mock annoyance: "You little girl, you're actually lecturing your teacher? Fine, I... approve of this matter. I'll leave it to you to handle."
A smile appeared on Hu Liena's face, but her eyes then became firm, revealing a killing intent:
"Don't worry, Teacher. As long as this Disciple finds that Tang San, whether he is the child of destiny or an Outer Heavenly Demon, I will definitely find a way... to eliminate him completely!"
Regarding any existence that might threaten Spirit Hall or her teacher.
She, Hu Liena, would never be soft-hearted.
Shortly after Hu Liena left, an old man dressed simply with an unfathomable aura walked in.
The newcomer was none other than Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong's originally soft expression instantly turned cold: "What are you doing here?"
Qian Daoliu wasn't annoyed and smiled gently: "I heard you wrote a letter and had Gui Mei deliver it to Little Xue?"
"You old thing, did you peek at it?"
"..."
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Bibi Dong instantly flew into a rage, and a terrifying pressure swept across the room.
However, this pressure, which would have been enough to crush a Titled Douluo in the eyes of outsiders, seemed non-existent in front of Qian Daoliu.
