Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue felt a strange mix of emotions. She stared at the screen, thinking that this scoundrel Su Yan was utterly shameless and depraved! She couldn't help but let out a small ptooey in frustration. Then, a private message popped up on her screen.
I Am an Orphan sent a message asking if Bibi Dong is prettier than Bo Saixi. Su Yan quickly replied that he didn't know. This caused I Am an Orphan to send several question marks in return. She asked how he could not know when he was the one who voted for Bibi Dong in the first place.
Su Yan explained that he is actually face-blind and can't really tell who is pretty or not. He said he only voted for Bibi Dong because she seemed pleasing to his eye. This prompted I Am an Orphan to ask if she was pretty. Su Yan replied that she was extremely pretty, which made her send back a message that said hehehe.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Su Yan had a feeling that if he hadn't voted for Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue would have sent him a message to question him anyway. He really didn't want to deal with the voting drama anymore. He sent a message to the group saying they should continue with the gossip.
Su Yan wrote that as he mentioned earlier, Spirit Hall sent two thousand Spirit Masters to take over Sea God Island. In the end, they were defeated badly. Fewer than a hundred people returned alive, and Spirit Hall lost two Titled Douluo in the fight. He continued by saying that Qian Daoliu was furious about the loss. He called his friend Tang Chen, and together they went back to Sea God Island to get revenge. That was when they met the woman who would change their lives, Bo Saixi.
Su Yan explained that great experts often appreciate each other's strength. Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen took turns fighting Bo Saixi. The battle lasted for three days and three nights. By the end of it, the three of them actually became friends. Seven Treasures Little Princess jumped in to answer, saying she knew what happened next. She suggested they became sworn siblings and then the two brothers fell in love with their younger sister. Ah Yin and Liu Erlong both sent dots to show their silence.
Bibi Dong joined in and said that the girl was wrong this time. She pointed out that Bo Saixi is actually older than Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. She said it should be two younger brothers loving their elder sister. Bo Saixi replied by asking if she was being polite.
Over on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi was gritting her teeth in anger. She thought to herself that there were no sworn siblings involved. They were not siblings at all. People don't need to be sworn siblings just to like each other, ptooey!
Su Yan continued his story in the chat. He said that while they were together, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, who were two old bachelors with children, both fell for Bo Saixi. She was a powerful and older single woman. Both of them decided to pursue her at the same time. Bo Saixi was furious and told Su Yan to tell her where he was right now. She threatened to come and show him whether she could leave Sea God Island or not.
Tang Yuehua told the senior not to be anxious because Su Yan was speaking the truth. I Am an Orphan commented that Su Yan was really hitting hard. Hu Liena just laughed, while Yanzi is not a Swallow said everyone should just forget it because none of it mattered anymore.
Su Yan replied to Bo Saixi, asking if she was getting anxious again. He told her that this was just the beginning and asked the senior to take a deep breath. He warned her that feeling dizzy was normal and guaranteed that his next words would leave her speechless.
He noted that they had talked about love triangles before, like Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Ah Yin, or Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong. However, he claimed no one would ever guess what Bo Saixi's next move was or how Heaven-Defying Tang Chen's Divine Rank talent truly was.
Yanzi is not a Swallow kept calling for more gossip. Group Member Number Nine asked if the exciting part was hidden there. Hu Liena wondered if there would be another expert mentioned. Liu Erlong joked with the old woman, saying they had finally made it through and that it felt good to gossip about others for a change. Bibi Dong simply told her to get lost.
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi was even angrier than before. She wondered what he meant by her move being Heaven-Defying and Tang Chen's talent being the same. She told Su Yan that he had better not exaggerate or they would definitely have a problem. Su Yan admitted that when he thought about what he was going to say next, he couldn't help but laugh. Everyone sent question marks in response.
Inside the carriage, Su Yan actually laughed out loud. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling watched him with wide eyes. They wondered if what he was thinking could really be that funny. Su Yan typed to the group that he would say it directly. Both Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen pursued Bo Saixi. She had to choose one of them, and she actually liked Tang Chen. Loves Eating Carrots replied that the story didn't seem funny yet.
Su Yan asked the group how they thought Bo Saixi handled the situation. He reminded them that Ah Yin and Liu Erlong had been direct about their feelings when facing a love triangle. He had mentioned before that Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were temple enforcers with their own missions, meaning they could no longer become gods.
Bo Saixi implicitly told them that she would accept the feelings of whoever could reach Level 100. By saying this, she rejected Qian Daoliu because he couldn't become a god. At the same time, she was secretly showing her affection to Tang Chen, who had the best chance of reaching that rank.
Su Yan explained that Tang Chen, being a clever fool, believed her completely. He left Sea God Island after saying he wouldn't return until he became a god. The joke was that he hasn't returned to this day! Everyone in the group chat was stunned. The screen filled with question marks before everyone started laughing like crazy.
Liu Erlong laughed and agreed that it really was Heaven-Defying. Ah Yin asked her sister Bo Saixi what was going through her head. Hu Liena couldn't stop laughing. Bibi Dong said she was going to die laughing and called Bo Saixi the true expert of the group. I Am an Orphan said she was truly impressed and asked what kind of game Bo Saixi was playing. She asked Bo Saixi if she was bewildered after running into a clever fool like Tang Chen.
Seven Treasures Little Princess said Bo Saixi was too clever for her own good. She said she was glad she wasn't that clever and announced to the whole world that she liked Su Yan. Loves Eating Carrots said the same thing. Cat in the Shadows sent question marks. Yanzi is not a Swallow laughed and asked why Bo Saixi couldn't just say what she wanted directly. Group Member Number Nine asked if the two of them missed out and if Bo Saixi had been single for all those years just because of that.
Everyone in the chat was dying of laughter. They were a pair of clever fools. On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi was completely out of sorts. She used to think she just wasn't decisive enough, but now she realized she was just a big idiot. She thought Tang Chen was an even bigger idiot. She realized that when Su Yan called them the sea, land, and air trio of idiots, he wasn't even trying to be mean; he was just being honest. Bo Saixi felt like she was about to shut down. She felt numb and ashamed. She felt like she couldn't show her face in the group chat anymore. She worried that the others would mock her for years, just like they mocked the spiritual love of Liu Erlong.
She didn't really need to doubt it. Since the group didn't spare Bibi Dong or Liu Erlong, they definitely wouldn't spare her. She knew that in the future, they probably wouldn't spare Xiao Wu or Gu Yuena either.
Su Yan continued by saying that being single is hard to explain. He said for powerhouses like Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong, it was rare for anyone to catch their eye unless they kept male consorts. He used Liu Erlong's earlier point as an example, saying those close to her age are now just old men. He said she could only stay single or find a pretty boy. Liu Erlong agreed that the truth was harsh. She said it might not be too late for her to change, but if she waited too long, she might end up single until she was old like Bo Saixi.
I Am an Orphan asked Hu Liena if Bibi Dong kept male consorts. Hu Liena sent back question marks. Bibi Dong told the orphan to shut up. Yanzi is not a Swallow wondered if there would be more gossip. Seven Treasures Little Princess told the orphan she was going to make her die laughing. Cat in the Shadows noted that it wasn't even certain if Bibi Dong was sane right now, so there was no way she kept consorts.
She said if Bibi Dong ever did that, it would be proof she had finally sobered up. Tang Yuehua let out a sigh. Ah Yin then realized that Yuehua had been single all this time too. She asked Yuehua if she kept male consorts. Tang Yuehua asked Ah Yin if she was being polite.
