In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 71. Sister Tao, no!

pregnant?

The atmosphere in the room became extremely awkward. Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that Xu Fengxian, who was usually not good with words, would say something so illogical.

Mo Lian swallowed hard and asked tentatively, "Little Phoenix Fairy, you...you're not joking with us, are you?"

"Are you kidding me? How could I joke about something like this with you?" Xu Fengxian said irritably. "Think about it carefully. Yu Tianqing wouldn't poison Xu Sanshi in public, so what was the effect of the medicine she gave him? It couldn't just be a simple tonic, could it?"

"Outrageous! This Yu Tianqing is utterly unworthy of being a woman. How could she use such a despicable method to deal with Senior Brother Xu? Doesn't she fear retribution?" As he spoke, Huo Yuhao turned around, making as if to leave the room.

"stop!"

With a thought, Chen Yu activated the skill "Life Return," and her ice-blue hair suddenly grew longer, wrapping around Huo Yuhao's waist and forcibly dragging him back.

"Aren't you ashamed enough? Yes, you're in the right, and you can cause trouble at the Tianlongmen team's rest area without any restraint, but what's the point of doing this? What's done is done, and you can't change it. You just want the news of Xu Sanshi's pregnancy to spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent..."

Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, a series of urgent knocks reached their ears.

dong dong dong...

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Tang Ya took a deep breath, walked to the door, and slowly opened it.

A group of Shrek team members, including Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Dai Yueheng, came into her view.

The youth group's rest area was not in the same area, but it belonged to the same competition venue. They saw everything that had just happened clearly. Any normal person would be interested in Yu Tianqing's potion... cough cough, they came to visit their two junior brothers, and they were not interested in the effects of any potion.

As the team leader, A-Ying, who plays Ma Xiaotao, stepped forward and placed the fruit basket in her hand on the bedside table.

After doing all this, A-Ying's gaze unconsciously fell on Xu Fengxian. "Little Fengxian, how are the injuries on your two junior brothers? Should I use my connections with the Sea God Pavilion to ask a high-level healing-type Soul Master to examine them?"

"No, no need. Xu Sanshi and Beibei are perfectly fine. I am fully capable of treating them." Xu Fengxian spoke in an unusually calm tone, but the expression on her face betrayed her guilt.

"Little Phoenix Fairy, what's with that expression? Is there something you're having trouble telling me? Come, let me see."

As she spoke, Aying made a move to go to the bedside to check Xu Sanshi's body. Seeing that the secret was about to be exposed, Mo Lian, Xu Fengxian, and Chen Yu held her arms and waist tightly, trying to stop her in this way.

"Sister Tao, no! Sister Tao, no!"

The original Ma Xiaotao wasn't the type to pry into things. If she encountered this situation, she would most likely back down and choose to respect the other person's secret.

Unfortunately, A-Ying is not Ma Xiaotao. Her values ​​are much more upright than those of Shrek Academy, but her moral bottom line is not much higher. The more the three girls try to stop her, the more curious she becomes... What exactly happened to Xu Sanshi?

They're just three little girls, but with only Soul Sect cultivation, they naturally can't stop her with sheer strength alone.

Ignoring the three maids' attempts to stop her, Aying quickly walked to the bedside and placed her slender fingers on Xu Sanshi's wrist.

In an instant, A-Ying's expression changed. If her senses were not faulty, Xu Sanshi's pulse should be... a pregnancy pulse, right?

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's gradually changing expression, the three women felt as if all their strength had been drained, and they collapsed to the ground.

Spicy!!!!

Seeing this, Aying pouted and said irritably, "I thought it was something serious. It's just that Xu Sanshi is pregnant. Is such a small thing worth hiding?"

Ah this...

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao said with a solemn expression, "Sister Xiaotao, this is no small matter. Once the news of Senior Brother Xu's pregnancy spreads, the Sun Moon Empire will definitely seize this opportunity to make a big fuss. At that time, rumors will fly everywhere, and people who do not know the truth will only speak ill of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect."

Aying scoffed, "Huo Yuhao, your imagination is a bit too rich, isn't it? Putting aside how much impact this matter will have on Shrek Academy after it's exposed, Xu Sanshi is just a male student who's not even fifteen years old. His talent... is acceptable. Is it worth the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire personally getting involved in making fun of him? They're so busy every day, and they all think they're so important that making fun of a nobody would be beneath them."

To be honest, A Ying is a bit out of character. This speech is completely out of character for Ma Xiaotao. But she just wanted to say that she can't stand Huo Yuhao's self-righteous attitude. He thinks that the whole Douluo Continent should revolve around him and the Tang Sect. The Sun Moon Empire is either scheming against the Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect, or on its way to scheming.

"But... Sister Tao, that's true, but we have to consider Xu Sanshi's feelings. It's not a common thing for a man to have a child. I'm really afraid that he might do something irreversible because of what others are saying," Chen Yu said quietly.

Hearing Chen Yu's words, A Ying's expression softened considerably. Thank goodness, there are still normal people in the Tang Clan, not all of them are arrogant idiots like Huo Yuhao.

Aying pretended to ponder and said, "So what about you? What do you want to do? Don't worry, we're all representing Shrek Academy in the Soul Master Competition, so we're all comrades on the same side. Helping each other is only right. Tell us, as long as it's not too outrageous, we'll try our best to provide you with some assistance."

Chen Yu said timidly, "Sister Xiaotao, I'd like to ask you to keep this a secret and not tell anyone. After the Soul Master Competition ends, Sanshi and I will disappear for a while and announce to the public that I'm pregnant, in order to protect Sanshi's reputation... Is that okay?"

"That's possible," A-Ying glanced in the direction of Ling Luochen and the others, feigning concern, and said, "I can guarantee that no one in the Shrek Academy's youth team will tell anyone, but can we guarantee... that Yu Tianqing, and even the entire Tianlong Sect, will keep this a secret?"

This……

In an instant, Chen Yu's face turned grim. The situation was urgent, and she was only thinking about how to protect Xu Sanshi's reputation, subconsciously neglecting Yu Tianqing herself...
