Chapter 56
She's really gone.
How many people still know about this?
No, why do you ask that?
Ning Shu was completely bewildered.
She looked at Bibi Dong, puzzled.
Why did Bibi Dong know that she knew about this, and even capture her?
She didn't remember telling anyone else about it!
Could it be that she was the quickest one time and accidentally revealed something incredible?
No, that's not right. If that's the case, why doesn't she have any memory of it?
Or was she tricked into revealing information for some other reason?
Oh no, this is a huge problem.
"She's not going to kill me, is she?"
No, no, I've only been here a short time. I can't die like this. If I die now, wouldn't it be a waste of my trip?
No, we absolutely cannot let Bibi Dong die at Jialing Pass, nor can we allow her and Qian Renxue, mother and daughter, to only reconcile at the moment of their deaths!
Ning Shu silently lamented for a few moments, then calmed herself down and tried to figure out how to resolve the situation.
While she was thinking, Ning Shu did not notice that Bibi Dong's gaze had become increasingly deep, even carrying a different kind of indifference. Bibi Dong's gaze was extremely complex.
Did he perish at Jialing Pass?
Reconciliation only comes at the cost of life?
What nonsense is this guy spouting?
"Ning Shu, what are you talking about?!"
Bibi Dong reached out and suddenly grabbed Ning Shu's neck. Ning Shu's eyes widened, not understanding why Bibi Dong suddenly became angry. She was pressed down on the bed by Bibi Dong, and her hands subconsciously grabbed Bibi Dong's wrists. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't push the person in front of her away.
She frowned, and Bibi Dong increased her pressure. Soon, Ning Shu's face turned bright red. She hurriedly said, "I...I meant no harm, Your Majesty!"

Shrek Academy.
Not long after Ning Shu left, Tang San and his group returned in a great hurry.
Returning with them was Xiao Wu, who had already absorbed the third ring.
After learning that the students had all returned, Flander rushed out to check on their situation.
When he walked up to the seven people, Flander's eyes remained on Xiao Wu. He had not yet reached the level of a Soul Douluo, so he could not see Xiao Wu's true form. In order to confirm whether Ning Shu's words were true, he decided to start with Yu Xiaogang.
"I'm back."
Flander withdrew his gaze and looked at Yu Xiaogang: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaogang."
He patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder, then looked at Dai Mubai and said, "Mubai, take everyone to rest first. Come to my office later, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, Dean."
Dai Mubai nodded and responded.
Afterwards, the group returned to their respective rooms to rest. Yu Xiaogang noticed that Flander's expression was not quite right, so he followed him to the office.
The two arrived at the office one after the other. Flander sat down in the chair, looking somewhat bewildered, and said, "Xiao Gang, I have something very important to ask you."
"What?" Yu Xiaogang asked as usual.
Flander hesitated for a moment: "It's about Erlong."
Yu Xiaogang was taken aback. "Erlong?"
He immediately frowned: "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
He hadn't seen Liu Erlong for a long time, and he still couldn't bring himself to take that step.
Flander sighed softly, somewhat regretfully saying, "Xiao Gang, you and Erlong are truly in love. Why care about those worldly prejudices? I understand you, and I know you have Erlong in your heart. If that's the case, why not be a little braver?"
brave?
Yu Xiaogang chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Brother Fu, this isn't about being brave or not."
Flanders shook his head: "This is..."
He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Xiaogang, tell me the truth, is there another woman in your heart?"
Other women?
Yu Xiaogang frowned, but didn't immediately refute. He looked at Flander, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Boss Flander, what do you mean by this?"
Having known Yu Xiaogang for many years, doesn't Flander understand his character?
Yu Xiaogang's expression was clearly off; he seemed to be avoiding something.
Flander's heart sank: "So, there's another woman in your heart?"
Yu Xiaogang did not deny it: "Boss Fu, this is my private matter, you shouldn't ask too many questions."
"Personal matters?"
Flander shook his head with a wry smile, "I hope Erlong can be happy."
"."
Yu Xiaogang remained silent.
Why would Boss Fu suddenly ask this question? Who told him what?
No, it won't.
Nobody knew anything about his relationship with Bibi Dong.
But why would Flander suddenly ask this?
"Boss Fu, this is my private matter, you don't need to interfere. By the way, where is Ning Shuren? I didn't see her when I went back to the academy. Is she sleeping again?"
Yu Xiaogang changed the subject; he didn't want to dwell on the topic of women, as saying more would likely lead to an unpleasant ending.
Flander looked at him and completely believed what Ning Shu had said, "That girl has left the academy."
"What? She left the academy?" Yu Xiaogang frowned. "Boss Fu, didn't you say you wouldn't let her leave? Such a promising talent, how could you let her leave?"
She's someone who has the opportunity to prove some of his theories!
Flander snorted and said, "Her legs are hers, not mine. If she insists on leaving, what can I do? Xiaogang, Ning Shu is no ordinary person. Don't try anything with her anymore; it's useless."
"."
Yu Xiaogang frowned seriously.
The two parted unhappily.
Shortly after, Dai Mubai knocked on the office door.
Flanders said, "Go in."
Dai Mubai pushed open the door and entered. "Dean, what do you want with me?"
Flander stood up. "There's something rather important that I need to confirm with someone I trust."
Dai Mubai, puzzled, asked, "What is it?"
Flanders hesitated for a long time, still unsure of what to say.
If Xiao Wu is truly a soul beast, then only soul masters above the Soul Douluo level can see through her true form. But where can they find a Soul Douluo they can trust these days? If Xiao Wu is really a 100,000-year-old soul beast as Ning Shu said, then what would happen?
This is a tricky situation.
"The Dean?"
Seeing that Flander remained silent, Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask, "Dean, what is it?"
"."
Flander snapped out of his reverie, but chose to remain silent. He shook his head and said, "Ning Shu has left the academy."
"Just this?" Dai Mubai was taken aback.
Ning Shu has left the academy without permission more than once or twice, so what's so surprising about that?
Is this really something worth bringing up specifically?
"Dean, Ning Shu is that kind of person, don't pay any attention to her," Dai Mubai comforted her.
"."
Flander gave Dai Mubai a look of disappointment and frustration: "She didn't just leave temporarily, she's really gone!"
