Summary 15

After finishing with the Qiangu clan, Xueqin is named as the new head of the Spirit Pagoda, but he is not truly recognized over the Star Luo Continent where Gu Yue had become the leader of it.

Xueqin put aside that matter for now and prepares for a full restoration of the headquarters over the Douluo Continent, making it even grander and taller than before, showing a new era.

Weilan having joined again with them is told about all that happened in her absence as she only knew what it was open to the public, not knowing Wuhua's disappearance.

After listening to it, Weilan explains that she has more important that could help to know about Wuhua's change and about Xueqin's and Wulin's origin.

Weilan shows to Xueqin the diaries passed over from each head of the Nine Treasure Clan to the next, indicating Xueqin to focus on Ning Hui, Ning Tian and Ning Xiaoran, especially at Ning Hui.

For Ning Hui's diary is seemed more a tale rather than a diary, explaining the deeds of his big brother Ning Bai, his wives and friends and even learning that Renxue's mother was the daughter of the evil god Bibi Dong.

It was extremely clear that Xueqin is the son of Bai and Renxue, a fact that is was already proven, and that Wulin was the son of Tang San and Xiao Wu as gods lived over a different time-frequency.

However, in what they truly focused on was on a fact written in it, the Red-Violet Rose. Before leaving, Wuhua had given Xueqin a Red-Violet Rose that healed him from death and become his 9th spirit ring, but neither of Shrek knew about that special herb, not being recorded.

Thanks to Ning Hui's diary, they are able to know the origin, the Red-Violet Rose being the race of the strongest spirit beast known as the Plant Lord, Mei Ji. Even if they knew that Mei Ji was a plant spirit, they haven't known what she was. That makes clear that Mei Ji had something to do with Wuhua, but what was the relation? They learn about Mei Ji relation with one of Bai's wives, Lingling, and her story.

In the end, they theorize that like the immortal plants wanting to choose Wulin for his Child's Nature origin, Wuhua's case was similar to Mei Ji as Wuhua had been also recognized by the herbs. However, this is only a hypothesis and it doesn't help much in their search, but it seems that the unknowns are slowly being discovered.

Xueqin read the diary and reading Xiaoran's part it was clear that she had already known all about him long ago. While reading, he stops at one part, frowning his eyes and directly goes to a conference room.

In there, he makes a call, a virtual projection of Gu Yue answering his call. He had called at Gu Yue who was at the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters over the Star Luo Continent.

Gu Yue didn't try to hide her dislike towards him, sarcastically congratulating for his promotion, but truly thanking for taking care of the Qiangu family.

Xueqin doesn't try to go around the bushes and directly said to Gu Yue to abandon the Spirit Pagoda, shocking Gu Yue with his brusqueness.

Gu Yue laughs at him, saying that he is scared about her achievements as she had made great advancements over the artificial spirits souls, making them stronger and even is working now to create 10.000 years old now. Stating that Xueqin is afraid of her taking his position, becoming the new head of the Spirit Pagoda.

Xueqin doesn't try to hide it anymore and declares that Gu Yue is in truth a spirit beast and knowing the strange movements from the spirit beasts, it was clear that she was plotting something against humanity.

Seeing Xueqin's determination, Gu Yue knew that she wouldn't be able to hide it, it was only a matter of time before she was attacked by her condition. Full of wariness, she asks Xueqin three things. How did he know? Why did he tell her? And what he wants to do with her?

Xueqin answers truthfully. Xueqin didn't know how she was able to hide her being a spirit beasts all this time while being surrounded by titled douluos, the one that discovered her was Xiaoran. In concrete, it was Xiaoran's eyes. Like Xueqin's Sight was able to see the quality of swords, Xiaoran's Sight had the power to be able to see the talent and quality of humans, but only humans.

Once Xiaoran saw Gu Yue, she didn't see anything about her, like if she was a talentless person, but how could it be with Gu Yue's talent. With this, Xiaoran discovered her secret identity as spirit beasts.

The truth was that Xiaoran was keeping it a secret for her own gain. With Leng Yaozhi (Gu Yue's master and the other vice-leader of the Spirit Pagoda) already having chosen Gu Yue as her disciple, she wouldn't choose another, making Yaozhi's disciple possibility to take the position of head of the Spirit Pagoda zero, as Xiaoran would be able to show Gu Yue's true nature. It was like having one less worry for Weilan or Xueqin to become the Spirit Pagoda head. Moreover, Xiaoran had already use for Gu Yue, wanting to kill her and making her Weilan's 9th spirit ring.

For why did he tell her? Xueqin could have kept it for himself and prepare a trap to capture her, but he preferred to be sincere for Na'er who now was like a normal human after being separated from Gu Yue and for Wulin's relationship with her.

Finally, Xueqin gives Gu Yue two options. Her not leaving the Spirit Pagoda is not negotiable. The first option is to leave from everyone's life and hideaway, if she wanted to return with the beasts it was her option, but if she were to appear in front of him, Xueqin would use all his power in his hand to kill her.

The second option is to completely abandon her true nature and plans and come to Shrek Academy and be part of it. She will be banned to return to Star Duo Forest again, but Xueqin promise to keep her secret and security, not minding if she marries Wulin or whatever she does, but she must always live like one human more, letting away her aspirations.

Gu Yue makes a strange face and cut the call stating that she will show her decision shortly. Over her office, she shows a worried and doubtful expression, having difficulties to choose about being with Wulin and Na'er or keeping as the Lord of the spirit beasts.

After a week, the news of Gu Yue abandoning the Spirit Pagoda are received, without any information of her arriving Shrek. This makes Xueqin sighs and doubts his decision, thinking that he should have killed her.

Just as they had finished all the work needed to do over at the Heaven Dou Continent and Xueqin, Wulin, Weilan and Lizhi were preparing to return to Shrek, incredible bad news are received.

The Tang Sect headquarters of Star Luo Continent had been attacked and destroyed by the Holy Church that used the last God Killer and even worst Shrek Academy had been attacked again by the Holy Church.

Full of worry and anger, the group of four return at maximum speed to the Shrek Academy.
