At that instant the whole Group Chat fell dead silent.
No one could picture how someone so authentically Holy Spirit Cult could exist inside Shrek Academy.
She was more Holy Spirit Cult than Holy Spirit Cult itself.
Dou 2.
Shrek Academy.
Ma Xiaotao felt her head might explode.
What?
Every level of that chain of relationships was the absolute top tier of the Holy Spirit Cult?
Hold on a second!
Fiery as Ma Xiaotao was, she was no fool.
In a flash she realized the "pure-blooded" relative Su Yan had mentioned was none other than Teacher Yan Shaozhe—the man who treated her like his own daughter.
Because Su Yan had once said Tang Ya got in purely through mutation, while Ma Xiaotao herself relied on relatives... Big bro, you were actually serious!?
Thud.
Ma Xiaotao face-planted onto the bed, utterly dazed.
"Impossible."
"Absolutely impossible."
Right then.
A figure flew in from outside—Zhang Lexuan, equally stunned, had come looking for her.
"Xiaotao, how could this be?"
"No matter what, Shrek Academy could never have a core Holy Spirit Cult member infiltrate us, right?"
"Have you figured out who this person is?"
As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan flipped Ma Xiaotao over and pulled her up, face grave.
Ma Xiaotao was completely out of it.
"I... "
Ma Xiaotao opened her mouth, but no words came.
Zhang Lexuan urged, "Then tell me who it is—quick! We have to inform Mu En."
Mm.
Zhang Lexuan really was a bit slow; she still hadn't guessed who it was.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Ma Xiaotao looked at Zhang Lexuan and dropped a headache-inducing question: "This person's teacher is the boyfriend of the Supreme Sect Master of the Holy Spirit Sect—any chance that teacher might be Mu En?"
Zhang Lexuan:???
[Zhang Lexuan: Su Yan, I don't think you're lying, but I still can't believe this.]
Dou 1.
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong and Hu Liena stared at each other wide-eyed—where there's a dragon, there's a phoenix. One Holy SpiritGrand Elder, Chicken Leg Douluo, was already outrageous enough.
Yet someone even bolder had shown up?
"Teacher, this person is connected to Ma Xiaotao, isn't she?"
Bibi Dong nodded. "Yes, otherwise why would Su Yan single her out?"
[Hu Liena: I get it now. Su Yan once said: Blue Silver Saintess relied on Spirit mutation; Fire Phoenix Saintess relied on relatives in the Holy Spirit Cult.]
[Bibi Dong: Even so… these relatives are a bit too well-connected, aren't they?]
[Liu Erlong: Which general of ours is this fierce? To have such a network inside the Holy Spirit Cult?]
Dou 2.
Shrek Academy.
Tang Ya was also stupefied.
Seriously?
How could this be right?
A top Holy Spirit Cult figure is here at Shrek Academy and connected to Sister Xiao Tao… huh? The Holy Maiden is her Disciple—could it be Teacher Yan?
[Dark Avenger: Sister Xiao Tao, say something already!]
At the same moment.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were equally dumbstruck.
Heavens!
Are we in Shrek Academy or a Holy Spirit Cult branch?
We thought one Grand Elder plus twin Saintesses was the limit—who knew there'd be another high-ranking member?
And even the Supreme Sect Master's boyfriend?
[Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: I'm getting confused—whose side is this person on, Holy Spirit Cult or Shrek's?]
[Red Dust Meng Meng Meng: I'm dying here. One Grand Elder and twin Saintesses aren't enough for you Shrek folks?]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: I'm lost too. With relatives like these, why stay at Shrek? Go rise through the ranks in the Holy Spirit Cult!]
[Group Member Number Nine: Might even become the next Sect Master.]
[Everyone: 666.]
Meanwhile.
Su Yan's party was back in a carriage, heading toward Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others were still shocked.
Veteran melon-eaters, they quickly deduced the person was most likely Ma Xiaotao's teacher—so whose teacher was that?
And he was the boyfriend of the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Sect Master?
Oh!
Ning Rongrong's eyes went wide. "Big Brother Su Yan, Ma Xiaotao's a Genius freak; her teacher must be a pillar of Shrek. That teacher's teacher—could it be Mu En?"
Zhu Zhuqing and the rest nodded hard in agreement.
Dugu Yan was so startled her melon seeds spilled. "This is huge—Shrek's top leader and the Evil Spirit Master Supreme Sect Master…??"
[I Am an Orphan: 666.]
[Tang Yuehua: Erlong, come find me—today's melons are explosive. We can munch and chat live—it'll be hilarious.]
[Liu Erlong: On my way!]
[Bai Chenxiang: Xiaotao, are you okay?]
Dou 2.
Shrek Academy.
Zhang Lexuan finally caught up, stammering, "How can this be, Xiaotao? How?"
Ma Xiaotao was on the verge of tears. "I… Zhang Lexuan, don't you dare blab. Chat-group secrets can't leak out; there's terrifying electric punishment."
[Ma Xiaotao: Su Yan, I beg you—I'm about to cry. Please spare me!]
[Nine Treasures Little Princess: Cry? Crying still counts against your time!]
[Bo Saixi: I kept quiet, afraid you'd compare me, but Xiaotao—the melons are only just starting.]
[Liu Erlong: Don't cry yet—save some tears for later!]
[Bibi Dong: None of us plan to let her off, and neither do I—so let's keep munching.]
In the carriage.
Su Yan could only shake his head helplessly.
[Su Yan: Xiaotao, breathe—dizziness is normal. I barely said anything; just revealed Teacher Yan Shaozhe's identity.]
[Su Yan: Your teacher's background is messy, but his love life is just as tangled!]
[Su Yan: True, Yan Shaozhe isn't an Evil Spirit Master, and yeah, he can be petty, but with those extra labels he's basically a beam of light in the night!]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Melons, melons, melons.]
[Group Member Number Nine: munching melons]×3
[Everyone: munching melons]×3
Ma Xiaotao didn't post "munching"—she literally couldn't type a thing.
A beam of light in the night?
Wait a second.
My teacher's background is complicated, and his love life is messy too?
[Ma Xiaotao: Please, wasn't today supposed to be Mu En's melon? Why did it land on my teacher's head?]
[Ma Xiaotao: Is this even right?]
[Zhang Lexuan:???]
Zhang Lexuan was lost.
"Xiaotao, what's with you? Why drag Mu En into this?"
Ma Xiaotao almost sobbed. "Don't talk—just keep reading!"
"My teacher's teacher is Mu En, and he's got something going on with the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Sect Master—still don't see it?"
Zhang Lexuan:???
