Dai Mubai said, "I heard your conversation next door. Don't worry, Teacher Zhao is really alright."
Tang San finally relaxed completely.
"Also, Teacher Zhao didn't let us touch your special weapons. Remember to go collect them tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Mubai," Tang San said gratefully.
Dai Mubai glanced at Ao Tian's room next door and said, "You haven't eaten all day, you must be hungry. I'll take you to the cafeteria first."
"Alright."
Tang San followed Dai Mubai out. Oscar had already eaten, so he didn't go.
Watching Tang San leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Those few minutes spent with Tang San, he was truly afraid Tang San would also launch those terrifying things at him.
The food in Shrek Academy wasn't particularly delicious, but the nutrition was well-balanced. Tang San was used to simple meals and didn't find it unpleasant.
Dai Mubai enthusiastically served Tang San his meal and sat beside him, watching him finish. This friendly gesture moved Tang San deeply.
It was the first time someone other than his father and teachers had been so kind to him.
He gradually decided in his heart that Dai Mubai was someone worth befriending.
Tang San didn't have many friends. He wasn't even sure if Ao Tian, Gu Yue Na, and Xiao Wu counted as his friends, but now, he felt that he would become good friends with Dai Mubai.
After finishing his meal, Dai Mubai said, "Tang San, let's go for a walk on the training ground. I have some things I want to ask you."
Without saying anything else, Dai Mubai led Tang San to the training ground in the center of the academy.
"Big Brother Mubai, what do you want to ask me?" Tang San asked.
Dai Mubai had already prepared his questions, and immediately asked, "Tang San, how much do you know about Ao Tian, Gu Yue Na, and that Xiao Wu? Have you known them for a long time?"
"Big Brother Mubai, you want to learn about your new classmates, right? Why don't you ask them yourself?" Tang San asked.
Dai Mubai said, "I met them in Soto City yesterday and had some unpleasantness. I see that you know them, so I thought I'd ask you."
So that's how it was. Tang San nodded and said, "The three of them used to be in the same elementary academy as me. Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na are both quite arrogant and a bit difficult to get along with. Xiao Wu is relatively easygoing, unless you make her dislike you."
Dai Mubai smiled wryly and said, "I probably made Xiao Wu dislike me. Yesterday, she saw me with those two girls entering the hotel, so she's been giving me a hard time all day. You saw it too."
Tang San patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry. Xiao Wu is a kind person. If you behave better in the future, everyone can still get along well."
Dai Mubai said, "I understand. Right, are Ao Tian, Gu Yue Na, and Xiao Wu a couple? I saw their interactions are very intimate."
Tang San shook his head. "I don't think so. They're close, but I've never seen them holding hands or kissing. They haven't announced they're a couple."
"That's what I thought," Dai Mubai said with a smile, "With my extensive experience with women, I can tell from Gu Yue Na's expression and how she walks that she's still... pure. If Ao Tian and she were in that kind of relationship, how could he resist the urge to do something with such a beautiful girl?"
Tang San looked at Dai Mubai's excited expression and heard something else in his words. He couldn't help but frown. "Brother Mubai, do you have feelings for Gu Yue Na?"
Dai Mubai nodded, patted Tang San's shoulder, and laughed heartily. "That's right. Thanks to you, kid, for giving me such important information. I was going to give up today, but now, I'm more determined than ever. To thank you, I'll treat you to dinner in Soto City tomorrow."
Tang San's expression changed slightly. "Don't you already have two girlfriends?"
Dai Mubai chuckled. "Those two are just for fun. If you want, I can introduce you to a few. But Gu Yue Na... I've found that I really like her. I really want to have a memorable relationship with her."
Tang San slapped Dai Mubai's hand off his shoulder and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Dai Mubai paused, seeing Tang San's increasingly cold expression. He thought for a moment. "Tang San, could it be that you also... have feelings for Gu Yue Na?"
Tang San sneered. "I've liked her since the first day I saw her. It's been five years. She's such a pure and innocent girl, and I absolutely won't allow someone like you, who plays around with people's feelings, to hurt her."
Hearing Tang San say that, Dai Mubai's previous excitement vanished instantly. He frowned and asked, "Have you pursued her during all this time?"
Tang San was silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded, saying, "I have."
Dai Mubai said, "From my experience with relationships, if she hasn't accepted you after knowing her for so long, it means she doesn't like you. Maybe you could shift your focus and try pursuing other girls."
Tang San's gaze grew colder. "Do you think I'm like you, only pursuing girls for fun? Loving someone should be for a lifetime, Dai Mubai. Your behavior disgusts me."
Dai Mubai said, "You're right, but I've never truly been moved by anyone before. This time, I am. For her, I'm willing to give my true heart."
Anger surged within Tang San; he had never been so furious. The soul power within him couldn't help but fluctuate due to his emotions.
Sensing Tang San's state, Dai Mubai said in a low voice, "How about this, since she hasn't accepted you yet, let's compete fairly, how does that sound?"
Tang San didn't speak, turning and walking away.
He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from fighting Dai Mubai.
But just as he turned, Tang San froze. Not far in front of him, a figure in white stood silently, watching him and Dai Mubai.
"Ao Tian," Tang San said.
Ao Tian walked out of the shadows and stood before Tang San and Dai Mubai, asking with a teasing tone, "Are you two really arguing about my wife in the middle of the night? Is that really okay?"
Tang San and Dai Mubai were both stunned. Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, seeking an explanation.
Weren't they not a couple? What was going on?
Tang San found it hard to believe. "Ao Tian, when did Gu Yue Na get together with you?" he asked.
"Just this summer," Ao Tian replied.
"Did she really agree?" Tang San asked again.
"Yes."
Tang San didn't say anything more. He just lifted his foot and walked away. He understood that with the intimate relationship between Gu Yue Na and Ao Tian, he basically had no chance once they confirmed their relationship.
Although he was heartbroken, he had to accept this cruel blow.
Ao Tian looked at Dai Mubai, who was still standing there, and smiled. "What's wrong? Do you still have designs on my woman?"
Dai Mubai was very unwilling. Especially when he thought that Gu Yue Na was still a virgin, such a beautiful fairy, did he really have to obediently let go?
What he said to Tang San earlier was true; he really liked a girl for the first time.
Therefore, he decided to struggle one last time.
"Ao Tian, I want to have a contest between men with you," Dai Mubai said.
