Stop with the moral blackmail!

Chapter 63 Stop with the moral blackmail!

"Xiao Tao... are you... alright?"

Xuanzi completely changed his previous arrogant and haughty demeanor.

The martial spirit and aura were instantly concealed.

He looked like a pitiful little old man.

"Fine? Do I look fine to you?!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes were bloodshot, and she couldn't control her emotions at all.

Her chest heaved violently, and a trickle of blood immediately seeped from the corner of her mouth.

"Sister Tao, don't get so agitated!"

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao quickly took out a bright green leaf from his storage soul tool.

It was stuffed into Ma Xiaotao's mouth.

These are herbs picked from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

It has little effect on cultivation, but it is exceptional in treating internal and external injuries.

Although consuming the medicine raw will greatly reduce its effectiveness.

However, he has not yet figured out how to refine healing pills.

We'll just have to make do with this for now.

Ma Xiaotao shook her head, though she still swallowed the leaf.

But his emotions remained incredibly agitated.

"Yes, I'm sorry... Little Peach, I didn't mean it. You know, my martial spirit..."

Upon seeing this, Xuanzi hurriedly and frantically tried to find an excuse.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao laughed angrily, "Ha! It's a matter of martial spirit, a matter of martial spirit, it's a matter of martial spirit again!"

"You old geezer! If your martial soul really has such a big problem, you shouldn't have taken on this kind of mission!"

Upon hearing the name Ma Xiaotao, Xuanzi nearly lost his composure: "You..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, ''!" Ma Xiaotao exclaimed, two streams of tears instantly sliding down her cheeks. "Do you even know? All the junior students are dead! All of them are dead!!"

"They believed until their deaths that it was a training exercise the academy was giving us!"

"We're all waiting for you to come out and save us!!"

"If it weren't for my special martial soul, and if it weren't for this little brother coming to my rescue... I would have perished along with them!"

"That's the ninth-ranked ferocious beast! Didn't you come out to protect us?"

Where are you? Where are you?!

Xuanzi's expression was solemn. Listening to Ma Xiaotao's angry rebukes and sorrowful cries, cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead.

I seem to have underestimated the anger in Ma Xiaotao's heart.

He was used to seeing life and death.

I've long been immune to this emotion.

Although I felt a little guilty, it quickly passed.

But this was the first time Ma Xiaotao and her friends had encountered something like this.

Moreover, this was due to Xuanzi's dereliction of duty.

How could she possibly forgive Xuanzi so easily?

"I'm sorry, Xiaotao, I..."

He initially wanted to find an explanation, but faced with Ma Xiaotao's anger and grief,

All words seemed pale and powerless.

He knew that no matter what he said, it would be difficult to quell Ma Xiaotao's anger.

He can only rely on his status and age.

This is a case of moral blackmail.

After all, they are Shrek Academy students.

They are all good children who respect their teachers and have extremely high moral character.

"Sorry? Is a simple 'sorry' enough? Is a simple 'sorry' enough to bring them all back to life?!" Ignoring her injuries, Ma Xiaotao questioned him almost like a roar.

"If it weren't for your dereliction of duty! If it weren't for your arrogance and overconfidence! How could we have suffered such heavy losses?!"

"They're all dead! Except for me, they're all dead!! The entire army was wiped out! How could this have happened if it weren't for you! What right do you have to stay at Shrek Academy! What right do you have to be our teacher!"

Seeing Ma Xiaotao, whose mouth and nose were bleeding but who was still loudly questioning Xuanzi, Niu Tian and Titan felt a pang of pity.

They originally wanted to send Wang Dong'er to Shrek Academy.

Now it seems... this Shrek Academy isn't the same Shrek Academy that Little Dance Sister was from ten thousand years ago...

Listening to Ma Xiaotao's questioning,

Xuanzi gritted his teeth and endured it, stubbornly refusing to let any anger show on his face.

Instead, he was filled with loneliness and guilt.

He took a deep breath and said, feigning heartache:

"I'm sorry, Xiaotao, you're absolutely right. Xuanzi hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities and doesn't deserve to stay at Shrek Academy..."

"Then I will no longer occupy this position... After returning, I will immediately resign from the academy. I will relinquish all titles, from vice-captain to vice-pavilion master. I will leave Shrek Academy directly and let those more capable than me lead and protect you!"

As he spoke, he adopted a look of utter grief.

It was as if he had suffered a tremendous injustice, and his voice even choked with emotion:

"After all, I don't want to see you get hurt because of my negligence anymore... I'm too old for this, I'm not capable enough, and I'm no longer fit to teach you..."

"How do you think this punishment is?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes blazed with even more anger. Her tears still wet on her face, she let out a few mocking laughs and responded without a shred of mercy:

"Elder Xuan, do you think you can absolve yourself of responsibility this way? Do you think leaving Shrek Academy will absolve you of your sins? Are you trying to morally blackmail me?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Elder Xuan's eyes: "Xiao Tao, I just don't want you to suffer any more harm because of me..."

"Stop it!" Ma Xiaotao shouted angrily, interrupting him.

"You think you can solve the problem by just leaving? Do you think those dead juniors will come back to life just because you're gone? You don't think your leaving Shrek is some kind of huge compensation for them, do you?"

Her voice trembled, but every word was like a barbed whip, lashing Xuanzi's heart and fueling his anger.

"You don't have the courage to face your mistakes, so you try to escape by leaving! Do you think that will absolve you? You don't expect me to beg you not to leave, do you?"

"If you truly feel guilty, truly feel you did something wrong, and truly want to forgive yourself, then you should take your own life here! Die with the younger students who died!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi could no longer contain himself: "Insolence! I've lowered myself to apologize to you out of consideration for your status as Shaozhe's disciple, and even agreed to resign from my position. And you still want my life? Don't push your luck!"

"Don't think you're some indispensable geniuses to Shrek Academy! It's you who need Shrek Academy, not Shrek Academy that needs you!"

"Just some novice genius, yet you dare to talk back to me! Let me tell you! Even if you all die here, I won't be punished in the slightest!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Ma Xiaotao trembled all over.

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood: "Hahaha!! Good! Well said! You won't be punished at all even if we all die, right?"

"So the academy doesn't need us, huh!"

"Fine! From today onwards, I'm no longer one of Shrek Academy's people! What kind of Shrek Academy is this?! I don't care!"

After saying this last sentence, Ma Xiaotao's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Wisps of black flame also began to spread from Ma Xiaotao's body.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao was immediately alarmed and quickly took out the Life-Giving Gold.

It was poured into Ma Xiaotao's body.

The ultimate ice was also activated instantly.

It suppressed the evil fire emanating from Ma Xiaotao's body.

"Uncle Niu Tian, ​​Uncle Titan, this old guy is in your hands now..."

"Get him out!"
