This...
Although Ning Fengzhi felt a bit uncomfortable, he had the mindset of a businessman; this turn of events was definitely not a loss.
The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire had now become the Young Master of the Spirit Hall.
This investment was not lost.
Because under the current circumstances, this investment yielded an even higher return.
The Sword and Bone Douluos didn't say anything. They certainly felt displeased, but as far as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was concerned, they wouldn't shut Qian Renxue out.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong, feeling somewhat comforted by his daughter.
He looked at Qian Renxue and asked, "How should I address you from now on?"
Qian Renxue replied softly, "Teacher can just call me Little Xue."
"Little Xue."
Ning Fengzhi called out softly, which served as his choice and response.
This was how things ended. If Qian Renxue had come later and killed Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi would surely have felt a rift in his heart.
But...
Qian Renxue had arrived early, and she was the one who had become his disciple from the start.
To Ning Fengzhi, it was only a matter of deception, and this deception wasn't a big deal given his current relationship with Ning Rongrong and the interests of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Of course.
Qian Renxue's choice to come clean now also showed her sincerity.
Vast Sea City.
Liam and his group chose to rest here for a night before setting off again.
So...
Now that Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Ah Yin had all been successfully matched, when late night came, Gu Yuena could only stay in her room alone.
At this moment...
Gu Yuena sat in her room, lost in thought as she gazed at the moonlight outside the window.
What was she waiting for?
It seemed she wasn't waiting for anything, so what should she do?
Follow the method Ah Yin and the others used before?
Gu Yuena thought about it carefully; she didn't seem to be as brave as Zi Ji and the others!
How distressing.
Ding!
[Diary, recording a beautiful Transmigration life.]
[Rewards being distributed—]
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving the reward: All spirit rings' age increased by one thousand years.]
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: One level of Spirit Power.]
Ding!
[Instance rewards being distributed—]
[Congratulations to Shui Binger for having her name mentioned the most in the Diary. Reward: All spirit rings' age increased by one thousand years.]
[Congratulations to Shui Binger for having her name randomly selected in the Diary. Random reward: Spirit Power increased by one level.]
[Congratulations to Shui Yue'er for becoming the lucky viewer. You may customize a Diary theme once.]
After reading the rewards from the diary instance, Gu Yuena lay on the bed, preparing to sleep.
However...
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open. Gu Yuena sat up and saw Zi Ji and Bi Ji walking in, supporting each other.
"Lord."
Seeing the two, Gu Yuena didn't answer and lay back down as if throwing a tantrum.
Zi Ji and Bi Ji were bewildered.
What was going on?
Why did it feel like the Lord was acting like a spoiled child?
"Lord, what's wrong?"
"Is something on your mind?"
Gu Yuena replied indifferently, "Nothing, I'm just tired."
Zi Ji and Bi Ji looked conflicted; they hesitated for a moment and then left.
In the hallway...
Bi Ji asked curiously, "Zi Ji, is the Lord unhappy tonight?"
Zi Ji nodded. "It seems so."
"I just don't know why she's unhappy. Isn't everything fine?"
Bi Ji shook her head and said after a thought, "Let's go back. Once Ah Yin and the others finish their Cultivation, we'll call them out and discuss it with them."
"Yeah."
Zi Ji nodded, and the two walked toward Ah Yin's room.
However...
At the door to Ah Yin's room, they saw Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fozi eavesdropping suspiciously against the door.
"You two?"
Bi Ji spoke in a puzzled tone.
"Aiya!"
Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fozi were startled in an instant.
Seeing their guilty expressions, Zi Ji asked sternly, "What are you two doing here?"
"Tell the truth!"
Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fozi lowered their heads, stammering, "We... we..."
"We wanted to know what they were doing with Brother Liam."

Zi Ji looked at Bi Ji.
Bi Ji said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you to Cultivate properly and not think about these Poseidon matters?"
"Go Cultivate quickly; we'll tell you in the future."
"
Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fozi felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted and quickly fled the scene.
Zi Ji crossed her arms, watching their departing figures, and said strangely, "Speaking of which, Xiuxiu and the other are even older than Zhuqing and Lingling."
Bi Ji smiled bitterly. "Strictly speaking, they are even older than Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan. So what?"
This is quite criminal!
Spirit City.
Huo Wu jumped up from her bed in her pajamas and said happily, "This is hilarious."
"That Shui Yue'er, does she think she's me?"
"She didn't get a share of the rewards at all!"
Jiang Zhu and Meng Yiran also looked strange and said, "Indeed."
"She couldn't leech the second reward at all, and her third reward was basically for nothing."
The more Huo Wu thought about it, the happier she became. She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and said, "I'm going to the room next door to find them, hee hee!"
After speaking, Huo Wu happily ran out.
Next door.
Shui Yue'er was a bit numb right now.
Xue Wu and the others also had complex expressions. Although they had guessed as much, Shui Yue'er really couldn't leech any rewards.
Shui Binger said apologetically, "Yuer, when I get a reward next time, I'll give it to you."
"Don't be sad."
Shui Yue'er nodded and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. I'm not as good at leeching as that idiot Huo Wu!"
"Sigh."
Just then, Huo Wu's voice came from the doorway. "Shui Yue'er, are you badmouthing me behind my back?"
"I heard everything!"
Seeing Huo Wu enter, Shui Yue'er and the others said speechlessly, "What are you doing here?"
"It's the middle of the night; you didn't come specifically to laugh at us, did you?"
Huo Wu said seriously, "Of course—of course I did!"
"Hee hee."
Shui Yue'er snapped, "Not 'hee hee'."
Shui Binger and the others all rolled their eyes at Huo Wu.
Huo Wu held her head high, looking like a victorious rooster.
Seeing this, Shui Yue'er and her sisters were very angry!
What are you so smug about?
You're all by yourself, yet you come to our seven-person dormitory to show off?
Xue Wu exchanged looks with her sisters, and the others nodded slightly. Then, they all moved forward and surrounded Huo Wu.
"Wh-what are you guys doing?"
Huo Wu was gloating when she noticed the atmosphere was off. These people had actually surrounded her. What were they going to do to her?
"Heh heh!"
Shui Yue'er sneered, "Coming to our room all alone to mock us... so you're saying you're very brave?"
"Sisters, let's get her."
The Skywater Academy Girl Group acted immediately, stepping forward to grab Huo Wu and pinning her to the bed for a round of teasing.
