Chapter 101: Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong's Aggressive Favoritism!
However, besides the anger towards Tang San, a casual sentence in Lin Yuan's diary ignited another long-suppressed volcano in Xiao Wu's heart.
[Even if Bibi Dong obtained Xiao Wu's mother's spirit ring and Spirit Bone back then...]
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, splitting through the mist deep in Xiao Wu's memory of that rainy night years ago.
That tall, nightmare-like figure, the woman who killed her mother and took her spirit ring and Spirit Bone, was actually the current Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong!
That bone-deep hatred instantly diluted her disgust for Tang San, occupying her entire mind... Meanwhile, the chat group completely exploded.
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Oh my god, this Tang San is simply a jinx!]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Sneaking into the enemy's team, not only did he fail to act as an inside agent, but he became the enemy's guide instead? This maneuver, I'm willing to call it the 'Peerless Traitor'!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Heh, I think he did it on purpose.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Only by letting the people from Spirit Hall find Xiao Wu and creating a crisis could he have the chance to perform that 'Self-injury ruse'.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: I have to say, this scheming is too deep!]
[Hell Civet: Although I really don't want to admit it, if I were Xiao Wu... in that situation, betrayed by a lover, surrounded by enemies, and forced to Sacrifice... I might choose to self-destruct rather than let these people benefit.]
At this moment, Xiao Wu, who had been on the verge of a violent rage, finally exploded in the group.
She didn't go to scold Tang San, but directly @-ed the high and mighty Supreme Pontiff.
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: @Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong! So it was you!]
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: The woman who killed my mother back then... it was actually you!]
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: You took my mother's life, snatched her spirit ring and Spirit Bone; I will remember this blood debt!]
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: One day, I will personally go to Spirit Hall to avenge my mother!]
Facing Xiao Wu's questioning, Bibi Dong did not deny it; on the contrary, her reply was full of arrogance and coldness.
[Supreme Pontiff (Bibi Dong): Heh, that's right, I killed her. If it weren't for the System's restrictions, you would have been in danger the moment I first discovered your identity!]
[Supreme Pontiff: A spirit beast taking human form is already going against the Heavens. Since you dare to step out of the forest, you must be prepared to be hunted.]
[Supreme Pontiff: In this World, the weak are prey to the strong; it's survival of the fittest.]
[Supreme Pontiff: Your mother's skills were inferior, so she became my spirit ring.]
[Supreme Pontiff: As for revenge? You're welcome anytime. But what can you even do?]
[Supreme Pontiff: If not for the protection of the System's rules, I could send people to Heaven Dou City right now to capture you and reunite you with your mother!]
Bibi Dong's words could be described as extremely arrogant, completely disregarding Xiao Wu.
In her eyes, whether it was Tang San or Xiao Wu, they were nothing more than ants on the path to becoming a god.
And with that, Lin Yuan's diary for today came to a temporary close.
Naturally, he also noticed that beside him, Xiao Wu's emotions were fluctuating wildly.
"Xiao Wu..."
Lin Yuan reached out and gently yet firmly grasped her cold, soft, and boneless little hands.
A stream of warm spirit power was transmitted through his palm.
He lowered his voice, his tone gentle: "Why did your face suddenly turn so pale?"
This concern was not acting, but a genuine expression of feeling.
Being cared for by Lin Yuan, Xiao Wu, who had been trying hard to stay strong, had her psychological defenses collapse instantly.
That massive sense of grievance, fear, and hatred found an outlet at this moment.
"Brother..."
Xiao Wu could no longer suppress her inner emotions.
She suddenly turned around and threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms, burying her face deep in his chest.
Tears instantly soaked Lin Yuan's lapel.
"Brother... I... I'm fine..."
"I just... suddenly, missed my mother a little..."
Her voice carried a thick sob, making one's heart break to hear it.
Lin Yuan sighed in his heart again, gently patting Xiao Wu's trembling back.
He actually really wanted to promise that when he became stronger in the future, there would be a chance to help resurrect her mother.
After all, in the original work, as long as one became a god, resurrecting someone was not impossible.
But his current cultivation was only at the Spirit Grandmaster level; saying such 'empty promises' was somewhat inappropriate and lacked credibility.
He couldn't just tell Xiao Wu directly that he possessed a System, could he?
This was actually a matter of tacit understanding; Xiao Wu didn't know that Lin Yuan knew she possessed a copy of his diary.
However, just at this tender moment, Qin Ming on the podium seemed to have finally reached the end of his patience.
"Student Lin Yuan, student Xiao Wu."
On the podium, Qin Ming slapped the table, unable to endure it any longer.
"Although you are Genius students specially approved by the Committee Member."
"But! Openly hugging and pulling each other in class, what kind of behavior is this?!"
"Do you not take the teacher and classroom discipline seriously at all?!"
Qin Ming's face was ashen, his brows furrowed tightly.
He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to knock these two students down a peg and establish his authority as a teacher; in his view, both Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu were a bit too arrogant.
Such Geniuses needed to be 'polished' a little!
The gaze of the entire class instantly focused on them, with some in surprise, some watching the drama, and some gloating.
Lin Yuan's brow furrowed slightly, just about to open his mouth to explain.
But someone was faster than him!
"Bang!"
Dugu Yan, who was sitting to the right of Lin Yuan, suddenly slapped the table and stood up abruptly.
Her long green hair lifted with the wind, and her emerald eyes stared coldly at Qin Ming on the podium, her aura fully unleashed.
"Teacher Qin Ming, they both understand the theory you're teaching in class, and they didn't affect the other students who love to learn, did they?"
Qin Ming was stunned, clearly not expecting Dugu Yan to suddenly lash out.
"Student Dugu Yan, I am maintaining classroom discipline..."
"Discipline?"
Dugu Yan sneered and directly interrupted him: "Just now when Lin Yuan answered your question, everyone saw it, right? They didn't make a loud noise to affect other students, so what's wrong with sitting a bit closer?"
At this point, Dugu Yan looked around, "Fellow students, do you think Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu affected your learning?"
Swept by Dugu Yan's threatening gaze, those noble children who originally wanted to watch the show all shrunk their necks.
Are you kidding!
This is the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo!
Who would dare say 'no'? Do they have a death wish?
"No impact! No impact at all!"
"Right, right, right, we didn't see anything!"
The students expressed their stances one after another, their survival instincts fully activated.
Qin Ming's face instantly became extremely ugly, turning shades of blue and white.
But it wasn't over yet; Ning Rongrong, sitting in the back row, also slowly stood up...
