Xuanzi: Is the strategy of feigning indifference no longer effective?

Chapter 90 Xuanzi: Is the strategy of feigning indifference no longer effective?

Three days later, Lin Dong opened his eyes, looked at Meng Hongchen lying beside him, couldn't help but sigh, raised his hand, felt the chaotic soul power within his body, and twitched the corner of his mouth:

"Damn it, it's been so long since I've had an injury like this. How did my body become so weak? Although it's true that it's not easy to withstand the power of the Snow Empress."

Recalling Xuanzi's hypocritical appearance, Lin Dong sneered:

"What a Shrek Genius! I thought the people here were all peace-loving, but it turns out they prefer to play dirty tricks..."

Meng Hongchen seemed to be a light sleeper, startled awake by Lin Dong raising his hand. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and mumbled:

"You're awake! How are you feeling? I'll go call Grandpa and Grandpa Zhong over."

Seeing the concern in her eyes, Lin Dong tilted his head slightly and nodded:

"It feels okay, not as heavy as I imagined."

Meng Hongchen pouted and rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Keep pretending, I heard you talking.

Lin Dong could only cough lightly and say, "Go and call the dean over first."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Meng Hongchen curled her lips into a smug smile and quickly walked out of the room.

A chilling smile crept across Lin Dong's lips: "Shrek Xuanzi, from this day forward, we are sworn enemies..."

As soon as Meng Hongchen entered Jing Hongchen's office, she saw the teacher in charge of external communications reporting something to Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen's expression changed, and she sneered:

"Go tell him that our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy have nothing to discuss, either publicly or privately, and tell him to leave immediately."

Upon hearing this, the teacher's eyes darted around tentatively, and she asked:

"Dean, isn't saying this a bit too hurtful to him?"

Jing Hongchen was instantly enraged. He grabbed a defensive soul tool from the table and threw it out.

"Screw your mother!"

The teacher in charge of diplomacy, seeing Jing Hongchen so angry for the first time, timidly scurried out of the office.

Meng Hongchen stuck out her tongue outside the door before stepping into the room, a cold glint in her eyes as she said:

"Grandpa, was that what Shrek was talking about about the exchange student program?"

Jing Hongchen said with a grim expression, "That's right. Judging from this situation, it must have been that old dog Xuanzi who acted on his own. Otherwise, their teacher wouldn't have come to discuss this matter with us in detail."

Then, somewhat puzzled, she asked, "Didn't you voluntarily take care of Lin Dong? Why are you coming to find me?"

Meng Hongchen blushed and said, "By the way, I came to tell you that Lin Dong has woken up."

Upon hearing his words, a smile finally appeared on Jing Hongchen's previously unpleasant face, and he followed Meng Hongchen out of the office.

Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En's face was extremely ugly at this moment. He never expected that Xuan Zi would secretly do so many stupid things behind his back.

He said that handing over Shrek's glory to Xuanzi was just to teach him a lesson and make him more responsible. If he really wanted the championship, he would have sent students from the inner court to support him long ago.

This competition was an insult to Shrek Academy. If he could do it all over again, he would even want to imprison Xuanzi in the academy and send any normal teacher instead, and none of this trouble would have happened.

Super Douluo's team was almost wiped out by evil soul masters, causing countless spectators to curse Shrek Academy. In the end, he was given an escort mission, and he even sent Yan Shaozhe along.

If it weren't for the intervention of the two seniors from the Haotian Sect, Yan Shaozhe and these students probably wouldn't have made it back!

However, he is unaware that Shrek Academy, with Xuanzi's assistance, has already forged a close relationship with Xingluo Academy, and Xuanzi's influence is even evident in the behind-the-scenes manipulations during the competition.

The news that Cai Meier had her two arms cut off by Lin Dong had not been reported back to the Sea God Pavilion, but those few incidents alone were enough to make Mu En worry for a long time.

Mu En lay on the recliner, receiving one piece of bad news after another. He even had the urge to personally drag Xuanzi back. What kind of mess was this?!

At his age, how could he do something like this, trying to steal students from other schools? Stealing students from other Three Kingdoms schools is one thing.

They actually went and gave the Sun Moon Empire a reason to start a war. They really want to drive this old man to his death!

When Mu En heard this news, he even doubted for a moment whether Xuanzi had been controlled by an evil soul master.

Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Old Song couldn't help but speak up:

"Old Mu, fortunately there has been no actual loss. In addition, Jiawei has helped us spread the word in Xingluo, and the scene of public outrage has been temporarily stabilized."

Regarding the Sun Moon Sect, we might be able to make concessions on the exchange student issue. After all, only Shrek Academy can truly maximize the potential of their ultimate martial soul, and Elder Xuan didn't harm those students.

After hearing this, Mu En frowned and sighed, "Let's do it your way. We should try to appease the Sun and Moon faction as much as possible. Once war breaks out, it will not benefit anyone."

A series of hurried footsteps approached, and Yan Shaozhe walked in from outside, bowing to Elder Mu: "Elder Mu, has Elder Xuan not returned yet? I'm very worried about Mei'er."

Xianlin'er glared at him but didn't say anything, which made Mu En a little puzzled.

"Yeah, at his speed, he should have been back by now. Didn't Xu Jiawei send a message saying he was coming to find you?"

Yan Shaozhe shook his head blankly: "We came back under the escort of those two seniors, but we didn't see Elder Xuan and Mei'er at all. Could something have happened?"

Seeing his panicked expression, Mu En suppressed his anger and slowly said:

"Calm down. With their strength, how could anything happen to them? Perhaps something happened on the way that delayed them."

Yan Shaozhe's eyelids twitched and he nodded, but a vague sense of foreboding lingered in his heart.

At the entrance of the college.

Wang Dong grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand and introduced her in a very casual manner:

"Uncle, Uncle, this is Xiao Xiao, my best friend at school. This one with long hair is my uncle, and this one with short hair is my uncle. I'll take you to our house when the holidays come."

Xiao Xiao felt the warmth in her hand. Strange, Wang Dong's hand was so soft and smooth. Wait a minute! How could he just hold my hand like that? We're just friends! Speaking of which, can this be considered meeting the parents?

Seeing Xiao Xiao's stunned expression, Niu Tian Titan forced out a smile like a middle-aged man looking at his daughter:

"Hehe, hello Xiao Xiao, Xiao Dong hasn't bullied you, has he? If he has, just tell us!"

Hearing his easily misunderstood words, Wang Dong rolled his eyes at them, pulled them aside, and whispered:

"Uncle, Uncle, what are you doing? Which idiot came up with this idea? Didn't you notice the strange look in Xiao Xiao's eyes? And you're talking to her like you're talking to your future daughter-in-law."

The two then realized that they felt as if they had been bewitched and were somewhat dazed. They immediately turned to look at Xiao Xiao and coughed lightly.

"Xiao Xiao, your two uncles have things to do. You should get along well with Xiao Dong. He cherishes you as a friend. Come over to our house when you have time during the holidays."

Xiao Xiao gave an "oh," a hint of disappointment flashing in her bright eyes. She stomped on Wang Dong's foot and huffed angrily:

"Why did you just grab my hand? We're just friends, you crossed the line!"

Wang Dong cried out in pain, cursing the bastard who gave his uncles bad advice several times in his mind before jumping up to chase after the angry Xiao Xiao.

Spirit world.

Tang San, who was manipulating divine power to observe, couldn't help but frown, looking puzzled, and muttered to himself:

"This shouldn't be the case. According to my arrangement, the chosen one should be destined to be with my Tang Clan. But given the current situation, why is there no movement from Xiao Qi's side?"

Moreover, why can't my divine power detect the aura of the chosen one? Could it be that someone else has beaten me to it? I hope nothing unexpected happens; my grand plan for ten thousand years cannot afford to fail!

Sun and Moon Ward

After being fed by Jing Hongchen, Lin Dong forced himself to sit up, looked at Jing Hongchen and smiled:

"Dean, I'm much better now. All I need to do now is resume my cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen tentatively asked, "What exactly happened that day? How did you come to possess such terrifying power?"

Lin Dong was taken aback for a moment, then simply replied, "I met a friend before and made a deal with him, but this kind of power can only be used once in a short period of time. It's one of my trump cards."

Jing Hongchen was taken aback when he heard this. What kind of friend was he? Could he borrow power temporarily? And what did "one of them" mean? If just one of them could rival a Limit Douluo, what about the others?

Jing Hongchen became more and more excited as he thought about it. He could tell that Lin Dong's previous affection for Riyue was not that great.

But after this competition, he definitely doesn't have a good impression of Shrek Academy and Star Luo Academy, which actually gave Mingde Hall an advantage.

Seeing him deep in thought, Lin Dong paused and said, "By the way, Dean, I just realized that I've already reached level 30 after waking up. I'd like to ask for a leave of absence for a while."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's expression shifted from astonishment to refusal, and she asked somewhat anxiously:

"What are you planning to do? Don't do anything foolish. I was just about to discuss this with you."

Lin Dong was a little confused by his inexplicable words, but he still nodded politely: "What is it you want to say first?"

A cold glint flashed across Jing Hongchen's face as she said viciously:

"You can't do the revenge alone. I'm going to talk to Master Kong to see if we can find a way to send a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon to Shrek Academy. Otherwise, that bastard Xuanzi will really think we're easy to bully."

Lin Dong clearly hadn't expected him to think so much, and smiled helplessly:

"Dean, you're overthinking it. I won't seek revenge until I have enough strength. I'm just asking for leave to find my own opportunity."

Upon hearing his words, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but ask, "What opportunity must you go through alone? Wouldn't it be safer if I accompanied you?"

Lin Dong simply shook his head and said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Dean, but I have my own reasons."

Looking at his worried face, Lin Dong, unusually, felt like joking:

"Don't worry, Dean. I'm not ready to die until I get revenge on those bastards."

Having experienced what happened that day, Lin Dong had gradually developed feelings for Jing Hongchen and the others. He hadn't expected that these people, who were usually so peace-loving, would always stand by his side in crucial moments.

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Jing Hongchen smiled and nodded: "That's good. You should recover first. I'll go and discuss things with Elder Kong."

Lin Dong nodded, looking at Meng Hongchen who wanted to stay, and smiled as he reminded her:

"Miss Meng, will you protect me?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Hongchen was already used to his rejections, and a sly smile appeared on her face:

"Alright, it's easy for me, a Soul King, to give you a Soul Venerable protector."

Lin Dong was helpless and could only endure the pain to get up. Under her bright, sparkling eyes, he began to slowly cultivate.

Sea God Pavilion.

The anxious Mu En and the others finally saw Elder Xuan return. Upon seeing Cai Meier standing behind him, her face blank, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Mei'er! What happened to you, Elder Xuan? You said you were taking Mei'er to do something important, how did it turn out like this?"

Xuanzi was taken aback at first, then explained with a livid expression:

"We didn't expect that kid with the ultimate ice martial soul was too wicked. We don't know what methods he used, but he was able to get a ferocious beast to possess him. Moreover, it is probably the overlord of the far north, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion."

Mei'er's arms were severed by him, and I've already had the Healer Douluo reattach them. However, she seems to have suffered too much of a shock, and she's still a bit dazed. Sigh, it's my fault too. Who at her age would feel good being chased and beaten by a twelve-year-old child?

These few words plunged the entire Sea God Pavilion into a deathly silence. How could a twelve-year-old child withstand the possession of a 400,000-year-old ferocious beast?

This matter was so shocking that no one would have believed it if Xuanzi hadn't said it himself and if Cai Meier's behavior hadn't confirmed it.

Mu En, who was bent over, suddenly straightened up, almost breaking his back, and couldn't help but unleash a palm strike at Xuan Zi:

"You bastard! What did you do? Why did you have to steal someone when you had nothing better to do? Were you deaf when I said we were going to have an exchange student program with Sun and Moon? How could you do something so stupid!"

We could have easily increased our leverage and negotiated with them, but by doing this, the two sides have reached an irreconcilable point. Tell me, who's going to quell Xiaotao's anger?!

Xuanzi's blood and qi surged after being struck by Mu En's palm. Only after hearing Mu En's words did he realize how foolish he had been, and he began to use his special skill:

"I'm sorry, Elder Mu, I voluntarily withdraw from the Sea God Pavilion."

This time, however, Moon did not forgive him without any limits as usual, and instead snorted coldly:

"Even without you saying so, I won't keep you in the Sea God Pavilion. From today onwards, calm down and focus solely on your cultivation. You have no right to interfere in any of the academy's affairs. I will personally supervise your cultivation."

After this series of events, Mu En finally realized that Xuan Zi's mind was not suited to be the administrator of the academy; he only needed to be used by the academy as a kind of henchman.

Xuanzi was taken aback when he saw that Mu En hadn't forgiven him as usual this time, but finally nodded respectfully.

"Yes."

Moon waved his hand, his tone heavy with sorrow:

"Go and cultivate now, and let this old bone of mine, half-buried in the ground, clean up this mess for you."

Xuanzi nodded with a mournful face and left the Sea God Pavilion amidst the various expressions of the crowd…
