Host Bingbing nodded in agreement. "These two kids should take the diary's owner away. I just wonder who the owner will choose to go with in the end."

The audience began analyzing too.

"No need to ask! Look at how reluctant the diary's owner is. The three are close in age, and feelings grew from shared experiences. I bet the owner ended up going back with that little girl."

"I think the diary's owner was kidnapped by that little boy!" A voice suddenly chimed in, different from the others. Everyone turned their gaze to the guest seats.

Seeing it was Ying Yuanyuan, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Host Bingbing looked at her in surprise. "That's a possibility. But Goddess Yuanyuan, how can you be so sure? The little girl in this diary..."

Though she didn't finish, the audience was already fired up by the host's speculation!

"What!? So the little girl in this diary is actually Goddess Yuanyuan!? Can't be true!?"

"Ah! My Goddess Yuanyuan! That damn kid! Who is he!? How dare he lay hands on you like that!? Tell me his name, I'll go chop him up!"

"Goddess Yuanyuan! It must be her! At that age, with that martial arts talent, there are only a few nationwide. This diary appeared in Jianghai City, meaning the owner is here too... and Goddess Yuanyuan is also in Jianghai... Sob sob, my goddess..."

"No wonder Goddess Yuanyuan has been so focused on this diary's content. It's actually real!? That cursed kid! Goddess Yuanyuan, tell us! Who is he!?"

The venue erupted in shouts and cries, leaving Ying Yuanyuan, seated in the special guest seat, blinking her wide, dazed eyes in confusion.

"Pfft." Unable to hold back, Liu Xiyun beside her laughed at the silly, trouble-seeking girl.

"Serves you right for meddling."

"Feeling the heat now?"

Liu Xiyun reached out and poked Ying Yuanyuan, who was still dazed from the scene, unable to suppress her smile.

This girl always loved meddling. Usually, her strength got her out of trouble, but now, let's see how she handles this.

"Aah!" Suddenly, Ying Yuanyuan shook her head vigorously and shouted, "Who said that! The little girl in this diary isn't me!"

"Not Goddess Yuanyuan? Could it be Goddess Xiyun then?" On stage, Host Bingbing couldn't hold back her laughter as she teased.

To everyone's surprise, Ying Yuanyuan actually nodded.

"Exactly! It's her! The little girl recorded in this martial arts diary is Xiyun! She's been exposed! I saw it clearly!"

"!" Liu Xiyun's expression turned serious. She wiped the smile off her face and fixed a sharp gaze on Ying Yuanyuan beside her.

But Ying Yuanyuan didn't notice her at all, her face full of panic at the voices around her.

"Haha! Goddess Xiyun? Impossible! Goddess Xiyun is so aloof. How could she eagerly run over to beg the diary's owner for food?"

"Yeah, exactly! The little girl in the diary is definitely Goddess Yuanyuan! Only she would be that cute, not caring about anything when hungry."

"Goddess Yuanyuan, just confess! Is the little girl in this diary you, Ying Yuanyuan? Admit it openly—that's not like your usual self!"

"Trying to drag your bestie down with you? Ying Yuanyuan, you've fallen! Is this the friendship between goddesses? Haha, didn't everyone see Goddess Xiyun's expression just now? She almost looked like she wanted to punch Goddess Yuanyuan away, hahaha!"

"No! No! Why won't you believe me!? It really is Liu Xiyun! I'm being mistaken and taking the fall for her!" Panicked, Ying Yuanyuan stood up from her guest seat and explained to the laughing crowd around her.

But no one believed her. The more she explained, the more convinced everyone became that the diary was real and the little girl was indeed Ying Yuanyuan.

"Sob... Xiyun... if you don't help explain, after the show, I'm definitely going to get beaten to death at home..."

Helpless, watching the excited scene, Ying Yuanyuan could only turn her pleading gaze to Liu Xiyun.

"Wouldn't that be better? One less chattering pest buzzing in my ear," Liu Xiyun said.

Ying Yuanyuan knew she had accidentally sold her out earlier and that Liu Xiyun was angry. She quickly moved from her seat, grabbed Liu Xiyun's arm, and cooed, "Xiyun, good Xiyun~ please help me. I won't tease you anymore, okay?"

"You backstabbed me just now," Liu Xiyun tugged at her arm.

Ying Yuanyuan held on tightly, looking pitiful. "It was an accident! Besides, it's the truth. Maybe the later diary entries will mention your name?"

"..." Liu Xiyun fell silent. She wasn't sure if her name would appear later either.

But she still hoped it wouldn't appear... If it did, she'd be in danger too...

"But if I speak up, I'll have problems at home too..." Liu Xiyun said helplessly.

Ying Yuanyuan's eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with an idea. "Then neither of us admits it! We deny it to the death! You say you don't know her, I say I don't know her, and we'll both be fine!"

"This..." Liu Xiyun hesitated. Ying Yuanyuan quickly added, "Consider it a favor owed to you, Xiyun~"

"...Alright then." After thinking, Liu Xiyun nodded.

After all, she couldn't be sure if she'd be exposed later. If she was, Ying Yuanyuan's misunderstanding would clear up instantly—turning out the little girl in the diary was her, Liu Xiyun.

Speaking up now was better than later.

But she'd also need to prepare for renting a place outside... Ying Yuanyuan's favor would probably come in handy then...

Thinking this, Liu Xiyun, supported by Ying Yuanyuan, spoke in unison as the audience watched.

Watching Liu Xiyun on the guest seat speak up, she said, "This diary is probably real, but it's not Ying Yuanyuan."
