After the Xiao Wu incident, Yu Xiaogang's prestige within Shrek Academy plummeted.
Zhu Zhuqing was the first to look down on Yu Xiaogang. After Tang San mentioned that he could use the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to kill San Yue Zhi Dong, Yu Xiaogang had approached her several times afterward, speaking with nothing but pleading in his tone.
Yu Xiaogang was only a Great Soul Master, and his Luo San Pao martial soul was a mutated version of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon — in short, a useless martial soul.
He lacked the strength to seek revenge, so all he could do was try to borrow another's blade to kill.
But Zhu Zhuqing wasn't some naïve fool like Xiao Wu. After humiliating Yu Xiaogang a few times, she found him increasingly intolerable.
Dai Mubai didn't stop her either. He knew Zhu Zhuqing's personality well — there was no way she would agree to Yu Xiaogang's manipulative nonsense.
Likewise, Zhu Zhuqing's attitude toward Dai Mubai had become extremely cold, which made things difficult for him.
Especially after realizing that during his earlier fight with Zhou Si Dong, he had misunderstood Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai had felt guilty ever since.
He wanted to find a chance to apologize to her privately, but Zhu Zhuqing simply ignored him, refusing to give him even the slightest opening.
Three days passed before Xiao Wu finally woke up — her life no longer in danger.
Now, however, Xiao Wu trembled at the sight of any round object. The fragmentation grenade from that day had left her deeply traumatized.
All of this was seen by Tang San, who felt both pain and guilt in his heart.
Especially when Xiao Wu met Yu Xiaogang — her words had lost their former admiration and turned into cold sarcasm, occasionally even snapping at him.
Tang San didn't stop her, because this time, the fault truly lay with his teacher.
Yu Xiaogang, after repeated setbacks, pushed all the blame onto San Yue Zhi Dong, insisting over and over that he himself had done nothing wrong.
It was as if he had lost his mind — almost every day, he went to squat near Soto's Great Spirit Arena, just to catch a glimpse of San Yue Zhi Dong's trail.
As time passed, San Yue Zhi Dong seemed to have vanished from the world entirely.
In a tavern in Soto City.
Zhou Si Dong took a sip of tea and smiled. "Shrek Academy's atmosphere seems quite harmonious now. Looks like my little disguise played a key role."
"Don't even start," Zhu Zhuqing said, frowning slightly. "The so-called Grandmaster has been running himself ragged trying to uncover your identity. He even came to me several times, begging me to avenge Tang San and Xiao Wu the next time you appear. He's gone completely mad!"
Zhou Si Dong chuckled. "From now on, San Yue Zhi Dong will never appear again."
Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So," Zhou Si Dong continued, "what do you think of the suggestion I made last time?"
"You mean... changing academies?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
He nodded with a grin. "What do you think?"
"At this point, staying at Shrek Academy feels like walking on thin ice. On one hand, Yu Xiaogang keeps pestering me, and on the other, even Rongrong has been talking about leaving the Academy."
"Rongrong?" Zhou Si Dong raised a brow. "Why does she want to leave?"
"It's still because of the Grandmaster," Zhu Zhuqing sighed. "After what happened with Xiao Wu, even Tang San rarely talks to him now. These past few days he's been wandering all over Soto City and the Great Spirit Arena, searching for you — for San Yue Zhi Dong."
Zhou Si Dong found it amusing. "I see. So, which academy are you thinking of transferring to?"
"Where would you recommend?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
"Have you thought it through?" Zhou Si Dong replied, his brow lifting slightly.
"More or less," Zhu Zhuqing said. "My situation in Shrek isn't good. For my own future, I have to leave myself a way out."
"The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."
"The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?" Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily stunned. "You joined the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy when you went to Heaven Dou City?"
She had heard of its name before — just like her sister Zhu Zhuyun, who studied at the Star Luo Imperial Academy.
Both academies were established by their respective royal families and stood at the pinnacle of their nations. However, rumor had it that the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was filled with arrogant nobles from kingdoms and duchies — spoiled and undisciplined.
"My father has some connections in Heaven Dou City," Zhou Si Dong explained. "That's how I got in."
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's hesitation, he said, "If you decide to join, just say the word — I can have you admitted immediately."
Zhu Zhuqing fell silent in thought.
Given Zhou Si Dong's confident tone, it didn't seem difficult for him to make it happen.
"I'd like to think about it a little longer," she said. "Can you give me some time?"
"Of course." Zhou Si Dong smiled faintly.
After chatting a bit more, he stood up to leave — but not before stealing a kiss that lasted over a minute, leaving Zhu Zhuqing staring after him with a mix of resentment and confusion as he walked away.
At the gates of Soto City.
After five days of travel, Bibi Dong finally arrived, with Gui Mei and Yue Guan following closely behind.
"My son... it won't be long before mother and child meet again."
Bibi Dong murmured softly, then asked, "What's the current situation with my son in Soto City?"
Yue Guan replied, "Lady… young master has been following a teacher named Qin Ming ever since joining the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. They travel around the Heaven Dou Empire together. Wherever they go, this Qin Ming arranges for the young master and others to participate in battles at the Great Spirit Arena."
"Participating in Spirit Arena battles?"
Bibi Dong smiled faintly. "That teacher isn't bad. If there's a chance, see if we can recruit him into the Spirit Hall. Continue."
"Yes, Lady," Yue Guan said. "Not long ago, Elder of Judgement assigned the Sixth and Seventh Worshippers to protect the young master. They are currently stationed here in Soto City. I've already contacted them — we can meet them first to learn about the young master's current condition."
"Lead the way."
Bibi Dong nodded. She was already aware that Qian Daoliu had sent the two Worshippers to guard her son.
At a hotel near the Great Spirit Arena, the Destruction Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo were staying. Conveniently, Zhou Si Dong was lodged at the opposite hotel — allowing them to react quickly to any potential danger.
"Bibi Dong has arrived."
Thousand Jun Douluo rose from his seat, and Destruction Douluo stepped forward to open the door.
The two figures that entered first were Gui Mei and Yue Guan, followed by Bibi Dong herself.
"The Sixth and Seventh Worshippers — thank you for your efforts in protecting my son," Bibi Dong said upon entering.
The two Douluo froze momentarily. Was this really the same Bibi Dong they knew?
But on second thought, it made sense — after all, she had once paid a tremendous price to bring the young master back to life.
Qian Xunji himself had been one of the sacrifices.
Now that she knew her son lived, of course she would come at once to see him.
