Chapter 54
: Leaving a bomb in Shrek
"Ning Shu, do you know what you're saying?" Flander frowned.
Although he didn't know how Ning Shu knew about the private affairs between the Golden Triangle, he had known Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong for many years. How could he not know about the feelings between the two of them? Did Yu Xiaogang have another woman in his heart? How could that be? He could see very clearly that Xiaogang truly liked Erlong.
Ning Shu clicked her tongue lightly. Sure enough, this Flander wasn't so easy to fool.
She pulled out a stool and continued in a serious tone, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Yu Xiaogang. Then you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not."
They said it as if it were the truth.
That's what Flanders was thinking.
He remained silent for a moment, still somewhat skeptical: "You say you are a god, but why were you no different from an ordinary person before?"
Upon closer reflection, Ning Shu's change seems to have occurred after that argument with Dai Mubai, and her martial soul also changed after that. Without a certain opportunity, how could her martial soul evolve?
Before this, Ning Shu hadn't shown any unusual behavior, and Flander was well aware of this. So, he just wanted to know why Ning Shu only revealed herself at this moment. Could it be that she was a bit slow before?
Flanders has read quite a few storybooks, so it's not impossible that he's read them too.
Moreover, he was unaware of Ning Shu's background, and Ning Shu was an adopted daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, not their biological daughter. Based on this, he could trust Ning Shu's words to some extent.
Ning Shu looked at him, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Because I was a bit slow before."
"..."
Flanders felt like he'd been fooled.
His lips twitched slightly: "So, you're normal now?"
"Of course." Ning Shu nodded and continued, "Thank you for your special care over the past year. Now I have other things to take care of, so I have to leave the academy. To repay you, Dean, I have some good news to share with you."
After speaking, Ning Shu suddenly smiled.
Flanders instinctively replied, "What?"
Although it sounds far-fetched, it's not entirely without credibility.
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes: "Would you like a 100,000-year-old soul bone?"
A soul bone from 100,000 years ago?!
Flander was shocked. He quickly looked around, strode over to Ning Shu, sat down, and whispered, "A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone? Ning Shu, what do you mean by this?"
Give him a soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years?
So generous?
Seeing the expectant expression on Flander's face, Ning Shu already had other plans in mind: "Literally, I can point you in the right direction."
A clear path?
What does that mean?
Flander's excitement subsided, and he looked at Ning Shu suspiciously, winking and saying, "You're not making fun of me, are you?"
In Flander's subconscious, he already believed what Ning Shu said, but Ning Shu's identity still needed to be further confirmed.
Ning Shu waved her hand and said with a smile, "I'm not in the mood to make fun of you, Dean. You haven't reached the Soul Douluo level, so naturally you can't tell the difference between a person who is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form."
A human form that is the transformed human of a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
Flander frowned: "Ning Shu, what exactly do you mean?"
Ning Shu smiled and said, "In our academy, there is a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Dean, you should know who it is."
"Before a 100,000-year-old soul beast reaches maturity, its essence is still that of a soul beast. When it advances in rank, it doesn't need to hunt other soul beasts; it can produce suitable soul rings on its own..."
Ning Shu didn't need to say much more; clearly, everything she said pointed to the person they had been searching for for several days—Xiao Wu.
Flanders was astonished.
A hundred thousand year soul beast?
It was Xiao Wu?
but……
For some reason, Flander's brows suddenly furrowed again.
Ning Shu naturally knew what he was thinking, so she added, "Tang Hao knows Xiao Wu's true identity. The reason he didn't harm Xiao Wu might be because he doesn't lack Xiao Wu's soul bone. His limbs already have corresponding soul bones, so there's no need to harm Xiao Wu at this time. Besides, Xiao Wu is his eldest son's sweetheart. Xiao Wu's soul bone and soul ring will be offered to Tang San sooner or later."
Dedicated to Tang San?
She also knows Tang Hao?
Flander frowned more and more as he listened. Who exactly was Ning Shu? How did she know everything?
"Dean, if you're interested in a 100,000-year-old soul bone, perhaps you could try to find a way to get your hands on it."
Ning Shu stood up. "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Dean, may I leave the academy now?"
"..."
Flanders remained silent.
He looked at Ning Shu, unsure of what to say.
He was completely confused.
Receiving so much information at once, he was a little disoriented.
After a long silence, Flander finally spoke, puzzled: "If you want to leave, I can't stop you even if I wanted to. But Ning Shu, why did you say those things?"
Ning Shu smiled and said, "I just wanted to remind you not to go looking for trouble."
"..."
Flanders was speechless.
What do you mean by "making trouble for no reason"? Is he the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason?
"Oh, right, I should also remind you, Dean, if you really intend to harm Xiao Wu, remember to avoid Tang Hao, or you'll definitely face annihilation."
"..."
Flander: "You said there would be annihilation, and you still want me to go after Xiao Wu? You're too wicked."
"Ha ha!"
Ning Shu shrugged with a smile: "This is just a reminder, Dean. A 100,000-year-old soul bone! Aren't you tempted? Soul beasts and soul masters are inherently opposed. Would you really choose to give up this opportunity and continue to live peacefully with soul beasts as before?"
Once Ning Shu learned Xiao Wu's true identity, she was certain that no one would ever be able to get along with her peacefully again.
Her goal was to force Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, she didn't genuinely want others to obtain Xiao Wu's soul bone and soul ring.
Ning Shu's words made Flander fall into deep thought.
Yes, how could he not be tempted by a soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years?
After learning Xiao Wu's true identity, how could he still treat her as an ordinary student as before?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
But why did Ning Shu tell him this news at this time?
What exactly does she want to do?
"Dean, it's getting late. Since you said you'd leave with me, I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again in the martial world!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Shu jumped out of the window. Flander tried to stop her, but in the blink of an eye, Ning Shu was gone. When Flander chased after her, all that remained was silence.
Leaving a bomb in Shrek Academy, Ning Shu left with a clear conscience. Now, it's impossible for Shrek Academy not to be in complete chaos. And now, what she has to do is—
