Sushang and Huohuo looked at each other with tense expressions.

The matter was even bigger than they had imagined.

Sushang pressed Huohuo again: "Confirm it one more time. You're not talking about Miss Yunli, but General Feixiao?"

Huohuo nodded seriously.

"No, that's right, it was General Feixiao. At that time, in that secluded place, I saw it with my own eyes..."

Mid-sentence, her entire face flushed, and she lowered her head.

She was too embarrassed to describe such an intense scene.

"This makes things even bigger now." Sushang couldn't help but hold her forehead. "General Huaiyan's granddaughter, and also

Mr. Derick's teacher, General Feixiao. If this matter were to be exposed, there's no telling how much trouble it would cause."

As for how big it would actually be, Sushang's small mind couldn't possibly fathom it.

Recalling something, Sushang asked Huohuo: "Oh, right, General Feixiao was willing, wasn't she?"

"General Feixiao was definitely willing. It's just... Derick, I'm not sure if he was," Huohuo whispered her complaint.

"That's true." Sushang patted her forehead.

Although Derick is powerful, to say he threatened or forced Feixiao would be dreaming. It's just that the latter half of Huohuo's sentence was a bit puzzling,

It left her scratching her head. What did she mean by that?

Unable to figure it out, Sushang stopped trying to think about it.

"So, what about Miss Yunli?" Huohuo also asked with concern.

"She was also willing."

Sushang wouldn't falsely accuse Derick.

When both sides cross-referenced, they found that Derick hadn't forced or coerced anyone, which allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.

If he's a playboy, he's a playboy. At least he's not a bad person.

Sushang asked Huohuo: "Then, what should we do next?"

"This kind of thing, I can't think of what to do," Huohuo also looked distressed. "I originally thought that you also knew about Mr. Derick and General Feixiao's situation, and we could discuss together what to do. But then you also dropped a bombshell on me. Now I feel that for the sake of peaceful coexistence among the three Xianzhou, it would be more appropriate for us both to commit suicide."

"We originally thought it was two people facing one problem, pooling our wisdom together. But who would have thought, now it's two completely different situations, and instead of one person only needing to face one problem, it has become needing to face two problems."

"No, don't say such things!" Sushang's expression was startled.

"Yeah, I don't want to either," Huohuo looked desperate. "So now there's only one way."

"What way?" Sushang quickly asked Huohuo.

"Wait to die." Huohuo pushed with her small hand. "Just keep pretending you don't know. Let things happen as they may!"

"That's the only way..." Sushang sighed deeply.

Then she looked at the delicious food on the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating heartily.

Huohuo saw Sushang's expression and also quickly started eating. Whatever happens, it's better to eat more.

Huohuo, being small, had a small appetite and didn't eat much even with effort. But Sushang, being a Cloud Knight who participates in training year-round, plus her extremely strong physique, ate quite a lot. However, by the end, her belly was slightly bulging from being full.

"I can't eat anymore, let's go!" As blood concentrated in her limbs, Sushang's anxiety significantly lessened. Whatever happens, eating a full meal is what's important.

"Mhm." Huohuo also nodded and walked outside.

Walking outside, Tail was waiting for them, looking annoyed. Seeing them, Tail asked:

"You two little brats, did you figure anything out?"

"We figured it out: the food at this restaurant is good. We should come back again if we have the chance." Sushang said with a satisfied burp.

Tail shouted at her.

"You two, that's all you figured out?!"

"Ehehe..." Sushang gave an embarrassed smile.

In the corner of the private room where Sushang and Huohuo were eating, there was a cat-shaped ornament. After the two of them left, this ornament 'poof'ed and a cloud of smoke swirled.

Cipher's figure appeared in the private room.

"Well, well, when I saw the expressions on these two little brats today, I knew they knew Derick's secret. But I didn't expect it to be this kind of secret."

Sushang and Huohuo's expressions couldn't hide anything from this cunning demigod. So, not long after Sushang and Huohuo left, she also found an opportunity to leave Derick's side. What was so interesting about Derick and Castorice's way? Given Castorice's kind nature, it would be strange if she didn't forgive him.

It was much more interesting to listen to these two little brats discussing a secret.

She heard the secret, alright, but it was a little too interesting.

Even Cipher had a look of shock she couldn't hide on her face.

She never expected that Derick, who acted so profound and virtuous in front of her, would actually be so promiscuous behind the scenes. His teacher Feixiao, and that little brat Yunli, actually had that kind of relationship with Derick.

This far exceeded Cipher's imagination.

However, this also gave her new motivation.

Derick's pants aren't impossible to take off.

Feixiao can, Yunli can, and she herself can too.

"I can still understand Feixiao, but why Yunli? Is Derick a loli-con?" Cipher thought to herself indignantly. In terms of figure, she completely surpassed that brat Yunli, and even from a traditional aesthetic point of view, her figure was even more alluring than Feixiao's.

However, she also noticed what Huohuo said when she spoke of Feixiao. Sushang didn't understand, but Cipher did. It's highly possible that Feixiao was the one who 'reverse-pushed' Derick.

"Damn! What an irresponsible teacher, how could she be so immoral?"

"It's truly enviable... no, despicable!"

Cipher thought to herself.

"Unfortunately, with my current strength, 'reverse-pushing' Derick isn't very possible."

"But I can threaten him!" Cipher's lips curled into an evil smile. "Derick, you wouldn't want Castorice to know your secret, would you?"

She thought about it like this, but then she gave up.

If she really threatened him like that, Derick would just go and confess to Castorice. And if he confessed to Castorice, the chances of Castorice forgiving Derick are 100%.

Although Castorice would be very jealous, it's nothing compared to her love for Derick.

The final outcome would probably be Castorice dumping all her anger onto Cipher, and then the two of them— coming at her with a husband-and-wife tag team.

"So this matter absolutely cannot be exposed to Derick immediately. She must seize an opportunity, launch a surprise attack, and finally take Derick in one fell swoop."

Cipher thought to herself.

To master these secrets, she needed to maximize their value at the right time.
