Chapter 57
: Locked in a Secret Room for Half a Month
"Gone? Where did she go?"
Dai Mubai was taken aback and asked, not knowing what was going on.
Flander looked at him, unsure of what to say.
That's true. Ning Shu is gone. What does that have to do with Dai Mubai?
Flander sighed and said, "Go and inform the others that Ning Shu has left Shrek Academy and that she has no connection with Shrek Academy from now on."
"Nothing to do with it?" Dai Mubai was taken aback again. "Dean, what happened? Why are you saying this?"
Didn't the dean unconditionally favor Ning Shu before? How come they're no longer related in such a short time?
There must be something fishy going on here.
Dai Mubai thought to himself.
But he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he looked at Flander and asked directly.
Flander didn't say much. To be precise, he didn't know what to say. After all, she wanted to leave, and judging from Ning Shu's attitude, it was clear that she wouldn't be coming back. He couldn't force her to do anything.
Moreover, Ning Shu's identity still needs to be investigated. If that little girl is truly a divine being, then she is no ordinary person.
Before things were settled, Flander didn't intend to tell Dai Mubai what he knew, as it would be pointless to do so anyway.
He frowned, feigning impatience, and said, "I told you to do something, not to come and ask me why. Go and tell everyone to do as I say!"
"."
Dai Mubai was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh, okay, Dean."
Then he turned and left the office.
"I really don't know what's wrong with him."
After leaving the office, Dai Mubai thought about it for a long time, but still concluded that Ning Shu had gone mad.
After all, this wasn't the first time Ning Shu had run away from home. She had asked him to look for her for several days before, and he was getting impatient. Because of Ning Shu, he would have to do more work.
With Xiao Wu found, Tang San and the others were relieved.
After resting in the dormitory for a while, Dai Mubai gathered them together, preparing to go to Soto City for another Soul Battle.
The group was already very familiar with the process of fighting spirits, so there was no need for Flander to lead them. The seven of them went to Soto City on their own when it got dark.
On the way, Dai Mubai told the other six people about what Flander had told them.
When the six people heard the news, they each had their own thoughts.
Ning Rongrong was naturally overjoyed; she wouldn't have to see Ning Shu anymore, and she was happier than anyone else.
Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't show any particular expression. They didn't have much of a relationship with Ning Shu, but with Ning Shu gone, the things that were rooted in their hearts could no longer be confirmed. Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, while Tang San felt a little regretful.
Oscar didn't say anything, his eyes darkened, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Zhu Zhuqing is the same.
Only Ma Hongjun expressed his regret: "Boss Dai, it's all your fault. You must have rejected her again, otherwise why would she have left this time?"
Dai Mubai was speechless: "What does this have to do with me? I didn't provoke her, and you know she doesn't like me anymore, so how could I refuse her?"
Ma Hongjun chuckled, then sidled up to Dai Mubai with a slightly smug look, saying, "That's because she doesn't like you anymore, and the person she likes is in another college, so she's going to go to another college!"
"Go to hell." Dai Mubai rolled his eyes and shoved Ma Hongjun away. "You're really annoying."
"Ha ha!"
"."
The group entered the Great Soul Arena laughing and joking, without saying a word about Ning Shu, as if she didn't hold much weight among them.
Half a month later, in Wuhun City.
Spirit Hall, secret chamber.
Ning Shu has been locked in this quiet secret room for several days. During these days, apart from the maid who brings her food, she has not seen any familiar or unfamiliar faces.
Bibi Dong never came back a second time since her last visit. Ning Shu still feels lingering fear when she thinks about how Bibi Dong almost strangled her to death last time.
She had no idea how Bibi Dong knew that she had a daughter.
Qian Renxue's identity has never been made public by the Spirit Hall, so other people naturally don't know that she exists. However, the higher-ups in the Spirit Hall should all know, so Ning Shu told a lie.
In order to survive and save her life, Ning Shu could only say that her cheap master had told her about it.
Later, fearing she'd be exposed, she added another person.
Guangling.
It's not unusual for Guangling to bring this up, is it?
Anyway, after Bibi Dong heard that it was the two of them, she did release Ning Shu, but she didn't intend to let her go.
Ning Shu wanted to explain or say something, but Bibi Dong didn't say anything and just locked her in the secret room.
It has been half a month now.
Ning Shu was extremely bored during these two weeks.
The only fun she had was when Bibi Dong sent someone to question her, and she would vent all her complaints in one go, but the other party would not get any information and would only hear a lot of resentment.
Bibi Dong, that big grudge, didn't want to take the position, so she let someone else take it instead.
Of course, these past two weeks have also indirectly confirmed that she has completely broken away from Shrek Academy.
She thought that if Bibi Dong really refused to release her, she would have no choice but to summon Guang Ling.
She still has the feathers left by Guangling on her body.
The room was sparsely furnished. Apart from a bed, a table, and some essential daily necessities, there was nothing else. Of course, the most uncomfortable thing was that there were no windows and no fresh air from outside. After staying there for so long, Ning Shu roughly understood the structure of the room she was in.
If she wasn't mistaken, this secret room must have been built underground, since it was very damp inside, especially when it rained.
Oh, as for how she knew it was raining outside, she judged it entirely by whether the person delivering the food was wet or whether there was rainwater on the lunchbox.
Bibi Dong has been providing her with decent food these past few days. Aside from the fact that she can't go out and is a bit bored, there's nothing wrong with cultivating here.
Ning Shu was not a naturally active person, so her endurance was much stronger than that of the average person.
*
The Papal Palace was as peaceful as ever today, with nothing much happening and the atmosphere relatively relaxed. Bibi Dong sat on a high seat, flanked by two Title Douluo: Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
"Your Majesty, shall that person below continue to be locked up?"
The one who spoke was Ju Douluo Yueguan.
He and Guimei were both Bibi Dong's confidants, so they naturally knew what was going on, including Ning Shu's claim that she was the Seventh Elder's disciple and the Fifth Elder's granddaughter. In addition, they did find the Fifth Elder's feather on Ning Shu. You can't take what this little girl says seriously.
