Diary—Chapter 40: Bibi Dong: No, Absolutely Not
Bibi Dong was convinced by Luo Ye and Hu Liena, but not entirely. At this moment, she still held onto some hope—deep in her heart, she wished that Yu Xiaogang wouldn't plot against her as Luo Ye had said.
However, she was no longer as eager to be with Yu Xiaogang as before. She merely wanted to observe more and verify whether Yu Xiaogang's true nature matched Luo Ye's description.
Because of this, Bibi Dong did not want to see Yu Xiaogang now.
As a result, Hu Liena suggested that she meet Yu Xiaogang under the pretext of visiting him, but in reality, she wanted to take Luo Ye to Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong was extremely resistant to this idea and directly refused.
"No, absolutely not. Let's think of another way."
Hu Liena spread her hands like a little bear, looking helpless.
"Is there any other way, teacher? This is the best idea I can think of. Can you consider whether there's a suitable reason to look for Luo Ye?"
Bibi Dong pondered silently for a long time. She recognized that Hu Liena's suggestion was the best option, but she still rejected it.
"If I have to figure out everything myself, what's the point of you? Since you want to bring Luo Ye to Spirit Hall, then you should come up with a solution yourself."
Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong with some resentment when she heard this.
She knew very well that her teacher couldn't think of a better plan, so she believed Bibi Dong was deliberately shifting the blame onto her.
But she was helpless. As a higher-ranking official, Bibi Dong could easily crush her, since she was both the Pope of Spirit Hall and her teacher.
Since Bibi Dong was unwilling to bring Luo Ye back under the pretext of searching for Yu Xiaogang, she had to find another way.
Anyway, there was still some time before Luo Ye left Shrek. She and Bibi Dong just needed to brainstorm, and they would surely come up with a better plan.

When Qian Renxue arrived at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sat on the same side, not even glancing at Ning Fengzhi, while the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi, merely smiled bitterly and said nothing.
After a moment of thought, Qian Renxue realized the underlying issue. She looked at Ning Fengzhi with curiosity and asked,
"Teacher, has Junior Sister Rongrong gone to Shrek Academy?"
Ning Fengzhi's smile turned even more bitter when he heard this. He shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Rongrong has been admitted and is now a student at Shrek."
Qian Renxue blinked, appearing to want to say something multiple times, but finally spoke as if unable to hold back.
"According to the information I have, the teaching methods at Shrek Academy are very problematic. Letting Junior Sister Rongrong become their student might not be a good thing."
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked at her and asked in unison,
"Your Highness, what exactly do you mean by 'problematic'?"
Qian Renxue didn't keep them in suspense and spoke in a serious tone.
"Shrek is different from other academies. It's more like a sect. They try their best to suppress the arrogance of their students and act as if they're honored to be part of Shrek."
"Once the students stop resisting this oppression, those people don't just restrain themselves—they increase the pressure until the students are completely obedient."
"This so-called Shrek Academy is even more excessive than some sects in how they treat their students."
As her voice fell, Ning Fengzhi frowned, and Chen Xin and Gu Rong's expressions grew even uglier.
Chen Xin snorted coldly.
"I've said it before—Rongrong shouldn't go to Shrek. What good can she gain from staying in such a remote, trashy academy?"
Gu Rong glared at him fiercely and retorted,
"You took Rongrong there. How many chances did you have to bring her back along the way? Why didn't you do it?"
Chen Xin said nothing but turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi.
If Ning Fengzhi hadn't agreed to send Rongrong to Shrek Academy, he would have had at least nine opportunities to bring her back—nine!
Thinking of this, Chen Xin no longer hesitated. He stood up and declared,
"Feng Zhi, I'll go and bring Rongrong back now. If those Shrek guys are suppressing her, I want to see if they can block my sword."
Gu Rong also stood up and echoed,
"I'm going with him to see how brave those Shrek students are."
You know, Ning Rongrong was always a treasure they held in their hands—feared losing her, cherishing her.
If she was being suppressed by Flanders and the others at Shrek, then they'd consider that a matter of life and death.
Ning Fengzhi hesitated slightly.
The reason he agreed to Rongrong's request to go to Shrek was to temper her temper. After all, she was his only daughter and destined to inherit the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leadership.
If Ning Rongrong's personality remained unchanged, it could spell disaster for their sect.
Therefore, although he had heard about Shrek's teaching methods from Qian Renxue, he didn't want to bring her back.
Facing the eager looks of Chen Xin and Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi gritted his teeth and said,
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, don't be so excited. Rongrong's arrogant personality might be a good thing—perhaps it's better for her to be 'suppressed' for a while."
Seeing their displeasure, Ning Fengzhi quickly added,
"Don't worry. If Flanders and the others go too far, I will bring Rongrong back immediately."
Qian Renxue, standing nearby, had a glint in her eyes.
It seemed she couldn't directly encourage Ning Fengzhi to act this time, so she decided to change her strategy.
Seeing Chen Xin and Gu Rong about to speak again, she quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Don't worry too much. With Rongrong's intelligence, if she realizes that Shrek isn't suitable for her, she'll come back on her own."
"With me here, Rongrong can go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study."
Although Xue Qinghe's cultivation talent was modest, he was the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire and had a high probability of becoming its future emperor.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong didn't mind giving him a face.
Though they felt sorry for Rongrong and didn't want her to be suppressed, they also recognized that her character was overly spoiled. Perhaps letting her gain some experience at Shrek alone was a good idea.
Chen Xin snorted.
"That's it for now. But if I find out Rongrong isn't doing well there, I'll bring her back—no matter what you say."
Seeing Chen Xin's attitude soften, Ning Fengzhi quickly assured,
"Don't worry, Uncle Jian. Rongrong is my daughter. I won't let her suffer too much."
