At this very moment, outside Jialing Pass.
Inside the allied camp of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, the atmosphere was heavy.
The Shrek Seven Devils sat together, looking at the list in the sky, exchanging bewildered glances.
"How is that possible?"
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened, and the chicken leg he was holding fell to the ground.
"Third Brother is only ninth? Is the list of successful candidates broken?"
"Third Brother is destined to become a god! Even that old hag Bibi Dong might not be able to beat him, right?"
Oscar looked equally incredulous, grabbing his hair and saying, "Yeah, this is just too outrageous."
Yu Xiaogang, sitting in the main seat, looked extremely grim.
He was always proud of Tang San as his disciple, regarding Tang San as the most perfect proof of his life's theories. He firmly believed that Tang San was the world's most outstanding genius, destined to stand at the pinnacle.
But now, reality has given him a resounding slap in the face.
Ninth place.
Although this ranking was already very high, it was an insult to the proud and arrogant Yu Xiaogang.
"This is impossible...this is absolutely impossible..."
Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the sky, muttering to himself.
"Twin martial souls, the inheritance of the Sea God, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Sect hidden weapons... How could Xiao San, who is showered with love and affection, only rank ninth?"
"There must be something wrong with this list of honors! There must be some mistake!"
Although Tang San didn't speak, his clenched fists and the bulging veins on his forehead revealed his extreme inner turmoil.
As a time traveler and the chosen one, he has always had a strong sense of superiority.
He felt like he was the protagonist of this world.
But today, that sense of superiority has been shattered.
There are actually eight people ahead of him who are stronger than him?
How could he possibly accept this?
Compared to the men's anger and resentment, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's focus was slightly off.
"Um...did you guys see that scene just now?"
Ning Rongrong nudged Xiao Wu beside her and whispered, her eyes sparkling with gossip.
"It's the scene where Dean Qianyu abuses Bibi Dong."
Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes, nodded, and couldn't help but smile.
"I saw it! That was so satisfying!"
"That old hag usually acts all high and mighty, but I never expected her to be so miserable in front of Dean Qianyu."
"That Dean Qianyu is so handsome! And he looks so domineering!"
Ning Rongrong rested her chin on her hands and said with a lovesick expression:
"Yeah, yeah! Especially the part where he refused Bibi Dong's request to remarry him, that was absolutely awesome!"
"'Every woman around me is better than you,' wow, that's such a manly thing to say!"
"To be honest, if I were Dean Qianyu, I wouldn't want a woman like Bibi Dong either."
"Dean Qianyu has excellent judgment!"
And Bibi Dong.
She was completely stunned.
The scepter in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," shattering the expensive floor tiles.
But she was completely unaware.
She felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning from the heavens, her mind going completely blank.
"How is this possible..."
Bibi Dong muttered to herself, her voice as dry as a traveler who had been thirsty in the desert for three days.
"How could it be Qianyu?!"
Her gaze shifted back and forth between Qianyu and Jinbang, her eyes filled with confusion, shock, disbelief, and deep fear.
The man she considered useless, whom she had despised for years, and whom she was even willing to divorce to get rid of.
It turns out to be the controller of Jixia Academy, which ranks first on the power list?
Is he the mastermind behind the four strongest forces on the mainland?
Is he the man behind powerful women like Haiyue and Wu Zetian?
"No...this is fake..."
"This must be fake!"
Bibi Dong shook her head violently, her hair disheveled, looking as if she were going mad.
"He clearly didn't show any fluctuations of soul power!"
"All he does all day is water the flowers and tend to the plants!"
"How could he possibly possess such extraordinary abilities?!"
She couldn't accept it.
This is worse than killing her.
She always thought of herself as a phoenix high above, while Qianyu was a chicken on the ground.
She abandoned Qianyu in pursuit of a higher sky.
But now the facts tell her...
Qianyu is the true dragon soaring through the nine heavens.
But she was nothing more than a frog in a well!
"No wonder..."
Hu Liena suddenly realized what was happening and said in a daze.
"No wonder the teacher was surrounded and attacked by a group of mysterious powerful figures before..."
"Shangguan Wan'er, Gongsun Li, Jing..."
"So, all these people are Qianyu's people."
"So, it really was Chiyu who taught the teacher a lesson that day..."
Hu Liena's words were like heavy hammer blows, striking Bibi Dong's heart.
Bibi Dong remained silent.
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
So, is Haiyue also one of Qianyu's people?
She just asked Haiyue to kick Qianyu out?
And in front of Qianyu, he even tried to seduce that so-called "big shot"?
It turns out that the important person had been watching her performance all along.
Watching her jump around like a clown.
"Qianyu..."
Bibi Dong suddenly raised her head, staring intently at Qian Yu, her eyes red-rimmed.
"Why?"
"Why do you have such great strength, but never tell me?"
Why did you hide it from me?!
Her voice was hoarse, filled with questioning and grievance.
It was as if all of this was Chiyu's fault.
Qianyu remained calm, merely glancing at her indifferently.
"Tell you?"
"So, after I tell you this, you'll use my power to help that Yu Xiaogang make a name for himself?"
This statement effectively shut down all of Bibi Dong's excuses.
"Pfft."
Da Qiao couldn't help but laugh.
Qian Renxue mocked without any mercy:
"Bibi Dong, do you know you regret it now?"
"Didn't you just say you were going to teach Father a lesson?"
"Weren't you also going to seduce the dean of Jixia Academy?"
"The dean is right in front of you, why don't you try to seduce him?"
Haiyue also spoke softly:
"Your Excellency Bibi Dong, I also want to thank you."
"If you hadn't been so blind back then, insisting on divorcing your master."
"Where would we sisters have the chance to serve our master again?"
"Speaking of which, you really did lose the entire country."
Bibi Dong's face turned pale and then flushed.
Shame, remorse, despair... a mix of emotions nearly made her faint on the spot.
She looked at the beautiful and powerful women around her, and at the adoring and admiring looks they gave Qianyu.
Look at yourself again.
Alone and isolated, abandoned by all.
A strong pang of sadness welled up in her nose, and her nose instantly turned red.
She truly regretted it.
If we hadn't gotten divorced, if I had been kinder to Chiyu back then...
She is now the wife of the Dean of Jixia Academy.
