At the edge of the arena, Chen Mu gazed at Xue Shiming's proud figure standing tall, stroked his chin, and exclaimed with sudden realization, "Hey, so that's how it is! It turns out that this Prince of Tiandou... was actively cooperating as a shill?!"

Chen Xiaojun laughed and praised, "You were very sharp this time. It seems you need to use your brain more often. Always leaving it idle makes you seem less intelligent."

"Damn, are you praising me or insulting me?" Chen Mu spat.

He was quick-witted, but because of his carefree and unconventional nature, he was often slow to react, and Chen Xiaojun always laughed at him for being "slow-witted".

Zhu Wuneng muttered in dissatisfaction, "Isn't this just taking my job? I'm the expert at this kind of work!"

Chen Xiaojun calmly looked at the arena, then said indifferently, "Although Xue Shiming is the loser, he does not only represent himself. He represented the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. How much resources and expectations did the capital invest in his victory? He carries the glory of the entire Heaven Dou royal family and Heaven Dou City on his shoulders."

"Xiao Yi's strength is so extraordinary that it's like a god descending to earth, so his defeat is inevitable. But for him, it is especially important to find a more reasonable, more respectable, and more 'solid' reason for this defeat, so that the academy's huge investment and the capital's expectations do not seem to be completely empty."

Chen Mu slapped his thigh, as if he had finally figured it out: "Oh! I get it, isn't this just a disguised way of shirking responsibility? Putting the blame on someone more unshakeable and with extremely high prestige makes everyone feel better."

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly and added, "That's one point."

"Secondly, as you know, there is a complex and fragile strategic alliance between the Chen family and the royal family, or rather, the Chen family is a strong ally of the Hidden Prince's Mansion faction within the royal family, and Xue Shiming has good ties with the 'Silver Feather Alliance'."

"Therefore, as an imperial prince, he skillfully used the momentum of defeat to consolidate his ties with potential key allies and create a situation where he turned crisis into opportunity and was honored even in defeat. This was undoubtedly an extremely clever political tactic."

"For these two reasons, Xue Shiming made this move of lowering himself to make the announcement on behalf of others."

He paused for a moment, his gaze slightly narrowed, "As for whether there are deeper games or selfish motives behind it... I have no idea at the moment."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment before he sighed sincerely, "Damn, the art of interpersonal relationships is truly a mysterious book! It's so full of twists and turns!"

Zhu Wuneng, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but curl his lip and interrupt without any politeness to complain: "Being a prince must be really tiring. Even farting probably requires you to figure out what it tastes like and what it means! Life is so unpleasant!"

Gao Cuilan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but turn her head, looking at her boyfriend with a helpless yet indulgent expression. She covered her mouth and laughed.

Dugu Fu floated over and said, "Don't worry, his farts will definitely smell good!"

VIP Area No. 76.

Xuan Qingya turned her gaze to Han Yiyu, who remained calm and composed beside her, and stared at her with her cold eyes: "You... already knew that she was the top prodigy?"

Well, there was a scrutinizing quality to it.

Han Yiyu lowered her lake-blue eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the tender green snow bud tea needles floating in the celadon teacup in her hand, her voice carrying her usual coolness: "Nonsense." She gently swirled the teacup, glancing up at Xuan Qingya, "If it weren't for that, why would I have bothered to use the Snow Emperor to test her?"

Xuan Qingya did not look away; her eyes, which seemed to reflect the depths of her heart, waited quietly for Han Yiyu to give a definite answer.

Han Yiyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hair ornament with pearl tassels hanging down her temple made a soft rustling sound.

She finally nodded slightly and admitted, "Yes, we have seen the spirit of that 'Silver Wolf True King,' and that's why Senior Brother Bo made this guess... I agree with it."

Something seemed to freeze slightly in the depths of Xuan Qingya's clear, cold eyes, but her tone remained light and calm: "Very good. It seems that you and Fifth Sister already knew the inside story, but kept it from me alone."

Han Yiyu rubbed her temples and said softly, "When I was chatting with Fifth Sister earlier, I said that 'some things can't be hidden anymore,' but you just didn't think about it deeply."

Xuan Qingya did not refute, but instead went along with her words, replying in a soft voice that was almost imperceptible: "Yes, indeed... it was my fault."

Han Yiyu couldn't help but shiver almost imperceptibly.

This Xuan Xiaoqi appears gentle and peaceful on the surface, but once she gets truly angry, the consequences are unpredictable.

"It's not too late to know now, right? Besides, this is still just our speculation, and we haven't gotten any absolute evidence yet..."

Xuan Qingya did not respond immediately, but silently watched Han Yiyu for a while.

The sunlight streaming in through the window brushed across her moon-white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), instantly illuminating the intricate silver thread patterns embroidered on it, like a spring stream flowing over broken ice.

This strange sight, set against her calm and expressionless face, made her seem even more unfathomable.

After a while, Xuan Qingya slowly shifted her gaze to the proud figure amidst the rain of flowers below, and sighed, "Eldest sister is truly blessed... She herself was the top of the list of geniuses back then, and now her future granddaughter-in-law... is another champion."

Han Yiyu followed her gaze and looked thoughtfully: "You know what, this girl's... domineering aura of 'I am the only one who can do it,' and her style of sweeping away the world's geniuses, isn't it exactly the same as my elder sister when she was young?"

Her eyes flickered: "Without a second thought, given my eldest sister's personality, she probably played a significant role in orchestrating this earth-shattering 'self-disclosure' today."

Xuan Qingya gently picked up the teacup, her fingertips tracing the smooth rim, and sighed softly with an inscrutable emotion: "Now that this little girl has taken the initiative to reveal her identity... with my elder sister's influence, I'm afraid... this small arena will not be able to accommodate her any longer."

"Perhaps right now, she's hiding in some corner, holding a small glass of wine, leisurely watching us... and all this people in the audience, putting on a show on her grand stage."

Han Yiyu's mood immediately soured: "...This is really something her wicked personality would do."

………………

When Donghuang Xiuyi revealed her identity, many high-level soul masters, including those who had already guessed before, such as Xue Shiming, as well as the teachers of the various strong teams who were surprised or unable to let go after their defeat, all breathed a long sigh of relief or put down a heavy weight on their hearts.

The lingering pressure dissipated quietly as the mystery was solved.
