At this moment, the entire group chat went completely silent. No one could even begin to imagine how such a pure member of the Holy Spirit Cult could exist inside Shrek Academy. It felt as if this person was more related to the cult than the actual Holy Spirit Cult members themselves.
In the world of Douluo 2, inside Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao felt like her head was about to explode. She sat there, staring into space as her mind raced. She wondered how this relationship could go all the way from the top to the bottom, filled with the highest level of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Wait a second. Ma Xiaotao might have had a fierce temper, but she was very smart. She quickly realized that the relative with the pure bloodline of the Holy Spirit Cult that Su Yan mentioned was none other than her own teacher. It was Yan Shaozhe, the man who had always treated her like his very own daughter.
Su Yan had previously mentioned that Tang Ya relied entirely on a mutation for her power. However, he had also said that Ma Xiaotao entered the Holy Spirit Cult entirely through her relatives. She realized now that he was actually being serious. With a loud thud, Ma Xiaotao face-planted onto her bed. She was completely dumbfounded and could not believe what she was hearing. She kept telling herself that it was impossible and that there was no way it could be true.
Suddenly, a figure flew in from outside. It was Zhang Lexuan, who had also been shocked by the news and came looking for her. Zhang Lexuan looked at her friend and asked how any of this was possible. She felt that no matter what Shrek Academy was like, it was impossible for someone so important to the Holy Spirit Cult to have moved in without anyone knowing. She asked Ma Xiaotao if she had thought about who this person might actually be.
As Zhang Lexuan spoke, she flipped Ma Xiaotao over on the bed and pulled her up. She looked at her with a very serious expression. Ma Xiaotao was completely dazed and did not know what to do. She opened her mouth to speak, but she truly did not know what to say.
Zhang Lexuan felt very anxious and told her to hurry up and tell her who the person was. She wanted to go and notify Mu En as quickly as possible. It seemed that Zhang Lexuan was a bit slow to catch on because she had not realized who the person was yet.
The room fell silent for a short moment. Ma Xiaotao looked at Zhang Lexuan and asked a question that gave her friend a massive headache. She asked if there was a possibility that the teacher of this person was Mu En, especially since the teacher was the boyfriend of the Supreme Cult Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult. Zhang Lexuan could only stare back in total confusion.
In the group chat, Zhang Lexuan posted that although she did not think Su Yan would lie, she still found it very hard to believe what he was saying.
Meanwhile, in the world of Douluo 1 at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were staring at each other with wide eyes. They felt that if there was one genius, there must be another. They already thought that having a Holy Spirit Cult Grand Elder like the Chicken Leg Douluo was impressive enough. They wondered how there could be someone even more powerful and fiercer than him.
Hu Liena asked her teacher if this person had a connection to Ma Xiaotao. Bibi Dong nodded and said that it must be true. She reasoned that Su Yan would not have specifically gone to ask Ma Xiaotao if there wasn't a connection.
Hu Liena posted that she understood now. She remembered Su Yan saying that the Blue Silver Saintess relied on spirit mutation while the Fire Phoenix Saintess relied on her relatives in the Holy Spirit Cult. Bibi Dong added that even if that was true, this connection of relatives seemed a bit too strong. Liu Erlong wondered whose subordinate could be this fierce, having such a powerful network of connections within the Holy Spirit Cult.
Back in Douluo 2 at Shrek Academy, Tang Ya felt completely numb. She wondered if the situation was right. A high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult was actually at Shrek Academy and was related to Ma Xiaotao. She wondered if the disciple was a Holy Spirit Cult Holy Maiden and if it could really be Elder Yan.
The Dark Avenger posted a message asking Ma Xiaotao to come out and say something. At the same time, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were also stunned. They wondered if they were really at Shrek Academy or if they were actually in a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult.
They thought that having one Elder and two Holy Maidens was already the limit for Shrek, but they never expected this. There was actually a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult right there with them. They were especially shocked by the mention of the boyfriend of the Supreme Cult Leader.
The member named Call Me Her Majesty the Empress posted that she was confused about whose side this person was on. She wondered if they were with the Holy Spirit Cult or Shrek Academy. Red Dust Dream Dream Dream posted that they were dying of laughter. They thought it was funny that Shrek Academy had so many members from the Holy Spirit Cult.
Yanzi is not a Swallow added that she was dazed too. She wondered why anyone with that kind of connection would stay at Shrek Academy when it would be more promising to go back to the Holy Spirit Cult. Group Member No. 9 suggested that maybe the person could even become the next Cult Leader. Everyone else simply posted "666" in response.
Over on the other side, Su Yan and his group got back into their carriage and started heading toward Shrek Academy. Zhu Zhuqing and the others were also very shocked by the news. They had a lot of experience with hearing gossip and news, so they quickly figured out that this person was most likely the teacher of Ma Xiaotao.
They began to wonder who the teacher of Ma Xiaotao's teacher was. They also thought about who could be the boyfriend of the Holy Spirit Cult Supreme Cult Leader. Ning Rongrong suddenly widened her eyes. she said that since Ma Xiaotao was such a genius monster, her teacher must be someone very important at Shrek Academy. She asked if her teacher's teacher could be none other than Mu En.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others nodded their heads heavily to show they agreed. Dugu Yan was so shocked that she dropped the melon seeds she was holding. She said that this was a huge piece of news. She couldn't believe that the highest leader of Shrek Academy was connected to the Evil Soul Master who led the Holy Spirit Cult.
An orphan in the chat posted "666" while Tang Yuehua asked Liu Erlong to come find her quickly. She felt like the news today was explosive and thought it would be fun to chat about it together. Liu Erlong replied that she was on her way. Bai Chenxiang also asked if Ma Xiaotao was doing okay.
Back at Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan had finally reacted to the news. She said it was impossible and asked how Ma Xiaotao could say such a thing. Ma Xiaotao felt like she wanted to cry but had no tears left. She told Zhang Lexuan not to go out and talk about this because the secrets of the group chat could not be leaked. She reminded her that there was a terrifying electric shock punishment for doing so.
Ma Xiaotao then posted a message to Su Yan, begging him to spare her because she was about to cry. The Nine Treasures Little Princess replied that crying still counts as time. Bo Saixi added that she was afraid of being compared to others, but she wanted to tell Ma Xiaotao that the news seemed to have only just begun. Liu Erlong told her not to cry yet because she might run out of tears later. Bibi Dong said that no one was willing to let her off, and she didn't plan to either. She wanted to continue hearing the news.
Inside the carriage, Su Yan shook his head. He told Ma Xiaotao to take a deep breath and that feeling dizzy was normal. He said he hadn't actually said much yet and was only revealing the identity of her teacher, Yan Shaozhe.
Su Yan explained that although her teacher had a complex background, his romantic history was also very complex. He mentioned that Yan Shaozhe was not an Evil Soul Master. Even though he was petty and not exactly a good person, his background made him seem like a beam of light in a dark night.
Several members posted that they were eating snacks while waiting for more news. Ma Xiaotao did not post anything because she simply could not bring herself to do it. She was stuck on the idea that her teacher had a complex romantic history.
She posted a message asking why the news had moved from Mu En to her teacher. She asked if this was right. Zhang Lexuan was still dazed and asked Ma Xiaotao why she was shifting the target back to Mu En.
Ma Xiaotao told her to stop talking and just keep reading. She explained that her teacher's teacher was Mu En and that he had an affair with the Supreme Cult Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult. She asked Zhang Lexuan if she finally understood. Zhang Lexuan could only respond with more confusion.
