A Rift Between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, Gu Yuena Asks Me to Bring Her Soap While She Bathes
"Lin Tian, thank you!"
Feeling the changes in her Martial Soul, Zhu Zhuqing thanked Lin Tian, then turned and returned to the dormitory next door.
Lin Tian was a little bewildered. He had only shaken her hand out of courtesy and said they should learn from each other, and that had moved her?
She was far too starved for affection.
Could it be that Zhu Zhuqing in the fake Douluo Continent was different from the original, a girl who was desperately starved for affection?
If that was really the case, he ought to show her more concern.
"Ah, Zhu Zhuqing is a pitiful person too."
Lin Tian sighed and shut the door, Zhu Zhuqing's fate in the original story flashing through his mind.
[Lin Tian's spoiler thoughts, broadcast live 4: Zhu Zhuqing is the second young lady of the Star Luo Empire's Zhu Family. She is strong-willed, yearns for freedom, refuses to fall into depravity, and longs to grow stronger. Her fiancé in name, the Star Luo Empire's third prince Dai Mubai, is a cowardly, spineless piece of trash who clings to life and fears death. He left the Star Luo Empire alone, abandoned Zhu Zhuqing without regard for whether she lived or died, and gave up on himself, chasing women and playing with them at Shrek Academy.]
When the spoiler appeared on the Heavenly Screen, everyone on the Douluo Continent was dumbfounded.
The Star Luo Zhu Family had not made much of an impression on people, but they were keenly aware of what it meant to be the Star Luo Empire's third prince.
Everyone knew that the Star Luo Empire ruled through martial might and maintained strict laws. Every emperor throughout its history had won the throne through competition, and every prince of the Star Luo Empire was a man of iron.
But who could have imagined that the third prince, Dai Mubai, had sunk so low, giving up the competition and abandoning his fiancée in name? He was far too selfish and cowardly.
"Bastard! How did my Dai Family produce such a coward? He's brought utter disgrace upon the Star Luo Empire."
"Guards! Go to Shrek Academy at once and bring Dai Mubai back to me."
Upon seeing the contents of the Heavenly Screen, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire roared in fury, wishing he could appear before Dai Mubai at once and slap him twice.
"Boss Dai, you're famous! Now the whole continent knows your name."
Far away at Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun ran up to Dai Mubai and teased him.
"Dead fatty, get lost!"
"You think it's glorious, do you? Let's put you up there and see how you feel."
"When I lose my life, let's see how you can still laugh."
Seeing that he was still joking, Dai Mubai's face turned green.
He had given up completely and fallen into utter decadence, but he did not want anyone else to know.
Above all, he could not let his proud imperial father find out. Given his father's temperament, he would punish him severely.
Now the entire Douluo Continent knew he was a piece of trash with no ambition, and he had brought utter disgrace upon the Star Luo Empire. His father would never let him off; someone was probably already on the way to Shrek Academy.
"Ah, is it that serious?"
When Ma Hongjun saw that Dai Mubai's life might be in danger, his smile vanished at once.
At Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai was the person he was closest to.
That was because Dai Mubai often took him out to pick up girls, helping him vent the Evil Fire within him.
"Yes. My imperial father will definitely send someone to arrest me," Dai Mubai said darkly.
"Boss Dai, what should we do?" Ma Hongjun asked in a panic.
"What else can we do? Run!"
"Fatty, what do you think about moving Shrek Academy to Skywater City?"
"Wherever Lin Tian is, the major powers will send people there. Skywater City will be the most chaotic place then, but also the place with the most restraints. Only that way will I have a chance of surviving."
A sudden idea struck Dai Mubai: he would seek refuge in Skywater City.
In truth, he also wanted to try to earn Lin Tian's favor and recognition. Ideally, they would become brothers who shared life and death, and perhaps he would still have a chance to fight for the throne.
Besides, Zhu Zhuqing was at Skywater Academy, so going after his wife would be a plausible excuse.
"Boss Dai, I was just thinking the same thing. I just didn't know how to bring it up with the dean."
"Since you're thinking it too, let's go together."
More than anyone, Ma Hongjun longed to earn Lin Tian's recognition, upgrade his Martial Soul, and completely eliminate the hidden danger of his Evil Fire.
"You don't need to come talk to me. Wuji and the others and I have discussed it. We'll set out for Skywater City today and merge with Skywater Academy."
"With the qualifications of Shrek Academy's teachers and students, Skywater Academy probably won't refuse."
At that moment, Flender walked over and told the two of them his decision.
"Yeah! That's great! Dean, you're so wise!"
"Boss Dai, let's go call Xiao Ao back and hurry up and pack."
Ma Hongjun jumped up with joy and pulled Dai Mubai away.
"Xiao San, this is all your fault! Why did you keep whipping the horse?"
"Skywater City was right in front of us, and you whipped the horse to death."
Still more than two hundred li from Skywater City, Yu Xiaogang looked at the horse lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth with all its life force gone, and pointed at Tang San as he gave him a furious scolding.
The later he arrived in Skywater City, the smaller his advantage in taking a disciple would be.
If this delayed his great undertaking, who could he turn to for comfort?
"Grandmaster, can you be reasonable?"
"The horse died of exhaustion. How can you blame Xiao San?"
"You were the one who insisted on rushing to Skywater City and kept urging him to go faster. Would Xiao San have kept whipping it otherwise?"
"If you hadn't insisted on riding the same horse with us, would it have died of exhaustion?"
"Without you, Xiao San and I would have reached Skywater City ages ago."
Xiao Wu could not stand it any longer and retorted angrily.
It was plainly Yu Xiaogang's reckless directions that had made the horse run itself to death, yet he blamed Tang San. It was enough to make her furious.
In her eyes, Tang San was a polite person who respected his teacher and honored his teachings, and did not want to argue with Yu Xiaogang.
But she was different. Anyone who wronged Tang San was her enemy.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face turned green.
He had not expected Xiao Wu to talk back to him like that. How was he supposed to save face?
"Xiao Wu, I'm Tang San's teacher and your elder. It's not your place to lecture me."
Xiao Wu laughed in anger and raised a hand, ready to give Yu Xiaogang a beating.
"Ha! Some damn elder you are. Xiao San respects you, but that doesn't mean I do. Keep making trouble and see how I slap you around."
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang was startled and hurriedly backed away several steps. "Xiao Wu, if you dare lay a hand on me, believe it or not, I'll make Xiao San break up with you," he threatened.
Although his Soul Power Level was the same as Xiao Wu's, her combat strength was greater than his.
If they fought, all he could do was take a beating.
"Enough! Both of you, stop it! Do you still want to go to Skywater City or not?"
Tang San had also had enough of Yu Xiaogang's temper and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Although he had not blamed Yu Xiaogang by name, he was implying that Yu Xiaogang was making trouble.
"Xiao San, you..."
How could Yu Xiaogang fail to hear it? A little hurt, he pointed at Tang San, but before he could finish, Tang San cut him off.
"Teacher, stop it. If we set out now, we should be able to reach Skywater City before dawn."
"Don't you want to take Lin Tian as your disciple anymore?"
"Instead of wasting your strength getting angry, you might as well save it for the journey."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and said, "Fine. I'll save my strength for the journey."
With that, Yu Xiaogang raced toward Skywater City at breakneck speed.
At that moment, a rift appeared in the relationship between Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
Night fell. Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had been called out by Leng Xi, leaving only Gu Yuena and Lin Tian in the dormitory.
Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Yuena went into the bathroom to bathe.
It was also her first bath since taking human form.
Gu Yuena did not think much of it and simply tossed the clothes she had taken off outside the bathroom.
Seeing this, Lin Tian swallowed.
Was Gu Yuena, who was usually quiet and reserved, really so casual when bathing? She just threw the clothes she had changed out of outside.
Just as Lin Tian was wondering whether he should help Gu Yuena tidy up, a shout came from the bathroom.
"Lin Tian, why isn't there any shampoo or soap in the bathroom? Why don't you bring yours in and lend it to me?"
