Shrek Academy.
After helping the unconscious Dai Mubai back to Shrek Academy, Tang San and the others ran into a grim-faced Flender at the school gate.
"Principal." Seeing Flender, who seemed to have been waiting at the gate, everyone, except for the already unconscious Dai Mubai, greeted him.
"Tang San, what happened to Hongjun and Mubai?" Seeing Tang San and Oscar supporting Dai Mubai, Flender quickly stepped forward and helped them, his voice filled with coldness.
Not long ago, he had wanted to see what the students of Shrek Academy were doing. However, when he entered the boys' dormitory, he found Ma Hongjun lying on the bed. Upon learning that his beloved disciple had been beaten to this state, Flender was furious.
So, after calling for the food-type Soul Master Shao Xin, he managed to save Ma Hongjun's… brothers, relying on the Soul Master's healing abilities. However, saving them was almost the same as not saving them at all.
Therefore, after coming out of the boys' dormitory, Flender came to the school gate to wait for Tang San and the others. He knew his beloved disciple's character and intended to ask Tang San about the situation.
Now, the killing intent in his heart was beyond words. Not only had the other party injured his beloved disciple, but they had also hurt his academy's students. It was simply outrageous!
"Headmaster, we..." Seeing Flender so furious, Tang San explained the whole incident, including how Ma Hongjun was injured, how they went to seek revenge with Dai Mubai, and then were beaten into this state, finally retreating in disgrace.
Hearing this, Flender's face turned ashen as he glared at the unconscious Dai Mubai. Then, he angrily said to Tang San, "Xiao San, why didn't you tell your teacher or me, the Headmaster, when you encountered such a thing? I always tell you that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre, but that doesn't mean you go looking for Soul Masters of the same level. You shouldn't be going outside to flirt with women when the academy's Soul Masters are fighting."
"What were you all doing getting involved in trouble that Mubai and Hongjun started by flirting with women?"
Seeing Flender's furious expression, the Shrek Seven Devils didn't dare to provoke him and could only listen to his scolding.
After reprimanding them for a while, Flender sighed. Although he was angry, his own direct disciples had been beaten so badly they couldn't take care of themselves. As their teacher, he naturally couldn't let his disciples suffer in vain.
Moreover, the fact that someone had attacked Shrek Academy's disciples in Soto City meant Flender wouldn't let the other party off. Being protective of his own, he had already thought about how to punish them.
Killing was definitely out of the question, but if he were to teach them a lesson, accidentally causing serious injuries or even crippling them wouldn't be a problem.
"Tang San, tell me, who was the one who used such heavy hands? I want to see just who this person is." Flender said in a low voice.
Tang San pondered for a moment, then said, "Principal, the other side didn't reveal their names. But based on my observation, they should also be students of the academy. Furthermore, I overheard a middle-aged man, who seemed to be their leader, mentioning his name was Cheng Xiao."
"Students of the academy?" Flender was taken aback. He continued, "Do you know what the leader's name is?"
Tang San shook his head. "I don't know, but I sensed a strong fire attribute aura from that person. I presume his Martial Soul is related to fire."
"Martial Soul related to fire?" Flender thought for a moment. With his experience, he quickly guessed something from Tang San's words. However, he didn't rush to confirm, because if it was that person, this beating might have been in vain.
"Alright, I understand." Flender pushed up his glasses and said, "Take Mubai to Teacher Shao Xin for treatment. You have the second stage of training arranged by Grandmaster tomorrow, so you don't need to worry about this matter."
Hearing this, Tang San's expression was uncertain. He asked, "Principal, is this just going to be left at that?"
"It won't be left at that." Flender patted Tang San's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Leave this matter to me. You all go back and rest."
After saying this, Flender left the academy without looking back.
Looking at the departing Flender, Tang San was filled with resentment. This was the first time since leaving Notting Academy that he had been so humiliated. Not only had he failed to help his brother get revenge, but even his former classmate, Xiao Wu, had disappointed him greatly.
The moment the opposing team leader called out the name, Tang San had already known the other person's identity. That's right, it was the guy who had never lost to him in their sparring at Notting Academy.
Only that guy could possess such strength and also make Xiao Wu display a demeanor he had never seen before. In fact, Tang San was also puzzled. Xiao Wu had clearly refused to come to Shrek Academy with him back then.
But why had Xiao Wu suddenly appeared at the entrance of Shrek Academy a few months ago? Although Tang San was very puzzled, since Xiao Wu didn't say, didn't tell him, he couldn't go and ask. He could only ponder the reason why Xiao Wu could come here.
However, Tang San, without any leads, couldn't have imagined that the reason Xiao Wu appeared at Shrek Academy was entirely due to something done by one of his relatives. After all, her identity had been recognized shortly after Xiao Wu entered Notting Academy, and this was a choice made after much deliberation.
"Rongrong, Xiao San and I will take Dai Laoda to get treatment first. You guys go back and rest," Oscar said.
"Alright, alright. Why are you even more long-winded than my dad?" Ning Rongrong glanced at Oscar and said.
Oscar scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed, "Aren't we classmates? I'm just giving a reminder, a reminder."
After saying that, Oscar and Tang San helped Dai Mubai and walked towards the faculty's dormitory.
Watching the three of them leave, Xiao Wu's mood lifted considerably after seeing the person she'd been longing for. She took Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing by the hand and headed towards the girls' dormitory, chatting and laughing along the way.
Back in the girls' dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at the lively and cheerful Xiao Wu. They couldn't help but feel a sense of illusion, as if Xiao Wu had always been this kind of person, but had become taciturn and focused on cultivation for some reason.
Ning Rongrong suddenly became curious. Who exactly was the young man Xiao Wu had been hugging earlier in Soto City? What kind of magic did he possess that could cause such a rapid change in Xiao Wu's personality after seeing him? It was simply unbelievable.
Compared to Ning Rongrong's curiosity, Zhu Zhuqing remained consistent with her cold persona, though there was a hint of envy in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Wu.
Once, she had also fantasized about the scene after seeing the person she longed for, but when that moment arrived, she suddenly felt that her expectations for the future were somewhat unrealistic.
He indulged in the flowers, letting himself go, without considering what her fate would be if she failed in the competition, since their destinies were connected.
He didn't think about it; he only thought of himself. She had thought that after leaving the Star Luo Empire, he would work hard to improve himself, desperately cultivating to break the so-called destiny. But when she saw him, she realized that everything she had believed was nothing more than self-deception.
"Xiao Wu, what's your relationship with that person?" Ning Rongrong finally couldn't help but ask, sitting beside Xiao Wu with curiosity. "Why do I feel like your personality has changed after seeing that young man?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu playfully stuck out her tongue, then smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay, I just haven't seen him in a long, long time. I was a little excited to see him suddenly this time."
Ning Rongrong frowned and continued to ask, "From what you're saying, you've been apart for a long time? Could he be a good friend from the academy?"
"Well, a little better than a good friend." For some reason, hearing the words "good friend," Xiao Wu felt a little uncomfortable.
"Cheng Xiao." Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke, staring into Xiao Wu's eyes, her voice cold. "That person's name is Cheng Xiao. I heard their team leader call him that."
"Yes, his name is Cheng Xiao. Isn't it a nice name?" Xiao Wu's lips curled into a smile, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. Her eyes curved into crescents, and the lovely smile on her face made it seem like she was introducing someone important to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, very happy.
"Damn, Xiao Wu, you didn't fall for Cheng Xiao, did you?" Seeing the smile on Xiao Wu's face, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but swear.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded on the side.
Xiao Wu was startled, and a blush immediately appeared on her face. She stammered, "I... probably... don't... have... maybe... not... right?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's hesitant expression, Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. She deliberately said, "But Tang San seems to be interested in you, Xiao Wu."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was slightly stunned. She looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise, not expecting her to say that.
"What does that have to do with me?" Xiao Wu frowned, then hmphed, "Just because he's interested in me, does that mean I have to be interested in him? Rongrong, Oscar is interested in you, but I don't see you being interested in him."
"Uh..." Ning Rongrong shut her mouth. Xiao Wu was right. Oscar was indeed interested in her, but she hadn't considered it that way. Moreover, as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she knew the rules for choosing a spouse. Even if she had a boyfriend, it would definitely not be a supporting-type Soul Master, at least not now.
After all, there had never been a combat-type supporting Soul Master in Douluo Continent, and her father, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa, wouldn't let her choose a supporting-type Soul Master as her spouse and mess around.
In the dark night sky, the silver moon hung high, and the bright moonlight draped a layer of silver sand over the earth. Tonight, some people were destined to be sleepless, while others were sound asleep, dreaming sweet dreams.
