He Was Utterly Wronged, Crying Like a Child

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Today was a rest day. Neuvillette had originally planned to stay at the Soul Arena, watch the spirit battles, and learn how the other referees handled hosting them.

However, under everyone's resentful gazes, he had no choice but to leave the Soul Arena and wander elsewhere.

Suotuo City was neither particularly large nor particularly small.

Neuvillette had already become thoroughly familiar with it over the past few days.

The bustle within the city made Neuvillette somewhat uncomfortable. Naturally, he left Suotuo City and headed toward the outskirts, toward a place with running water.

Over at Shrek Academy, Flender was completely stunned as he looked at Dai Mubai's miserable state!

Dai Mubai had been discovered that morning by Ma Hongjun and Oscar when they returned from Suotuo City. At the time, Dai Mubai had been lying in a pool of blood, giving the two of them quite a fright.

"Cough... cough, cough..."

After an unknown amount of time, Dai Mubai finally woke up.

"Mubai, what happened to you? Who beat you into this state?"

Flender asked with a grave expression. A trace of ferocity flashed through his eyes. No one had ever dared to come to Shrek Academy and cause trouble!

What puzzled him was that Dai Mubai had been beaten into such a state, yet Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were nowhere to be seen. Tang San and Xiao Wu, however, were still in the academy.

What exactly had happened last night?

"Pr-Principal..."

Dai Mubai said weakly, "Principal, it was that... damned Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu. They ganged up on me..."

"Cough, cough... pfft..."

After saying that, Dai Mubai spat out another mouthful of blood. Most of his injuries were thanks to Xiao Wu!

That Exploding Kill Eight-Stage Throw had nearly taken his life!

Flender fell silent upon hearing this, and so did everyone around him.

Their heads were full of question marks!

Why had Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu ganged up on Dai Mubai?

Had he somehow incurred everyone's wrath?

Looking at Dai Mubai's miserable condition, Flender thought for a moment before saying, "Hongjun, go find Xiao Wu. I want to ask what happened!"

"If Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong are there too, bring them over!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Ma Hongjun hurriedly replied. He knew his teacher was furious. Shrek Academy prohibited students from killing one another, let alone when Dai Mubai had nearly been beaten to death!

But before Ma Hongjun could even leave, Tang San came storming over with Xiao Wu!

"Dai Mubai, why did you attack Xiao Wu?!"

Before he even arrived, his voice came first. Tang San's words were filled with killing intent, fury, and confusion. He truly could not understand what reason Dai Mubai could possibly have had to attack Xiao Wu!

When he woke up, he had groggily gone looking for Xiao Wu. Before he could ask anything, he discovered that Xiao Wu was injured!

How could Tang San, a madly protective husband, possibly endure that!

After asking around, he learned that Dai Mubai was responsible!

How could he let that slide?

"This has nothing to do with you. Go find Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong!"

Only then did Ma Hongjun snap back to his senses. He hurriedly said, "Alright, Teacher."

With that, Ma Hongjun ran toward the two girls' dormitory without looking back.

Tang San had also entered Dai Mubai's room by then. His face was filled with killing intent, his eyes bloodshot. Xiao Wu stood silently behind him without saying a word.

"???"

Only after entering did Tang San realize that something was off. He then looked at Dai Mubai, who was coughing up blood.

His mind was full of questions. What was going on?

Dai Mubai's injuries seemed far, far more severe than Xiao Wu's!

Xiao Wu had merely suffered some superficial wounds and light injuries.

Dai Mubai, on the other hand, was seriously injured. If he was not treated in time, he would probably die...

"T-Tang San, look at me... Do I... do I look like I was the one... who attacked her?"

Dai Mubai felt utterly wronged. He had clearly been ganged up on, yet Tang San was turning black into white!

Tears slid down his cheeks...

They said men did not cry easily, unless their hearts had truly been wounded!

Being ganged up on by his fiancée and two outsiders—Dai Mubai found such humiliation difficult even to speak of!

Tang San fell silent. He turned to look at Xiao Wu behind him, then glanced at Dai Mubai, who was shedding tears.

"Th-then you still shouldn't have hurt Xiao Wu!"

"She's so adorable. She definitely wouldn't have made the first move."

"If she beat you into this state, it must have been because of you!"

Tang San said tentatively. Although his words were somewhat unreasonable, his tone had become much calmer, and he did not even dare speak too loudly.

"M-Me? It was because of me?"

Dai Mubai was utterly dumbfounded. His whole body went numb!

He had argued with his own fiancée, only for Xiao Wu and that Ning Rongrong to come over and berate him without bothering to learn the truth.

How could he endure that?

Dai Mubai simply could not endure it!

And besides, out of consideration for Tang San, he had forgiven Xiao Wu twice. Yet this woman was completely unreasonable, coming at him with that Exploding Kill Eight-Stage Throw right away!

If he had not been powerful enough to use Soul Power to seal his heart meridians, he would probably already be dead!

Tang San, do you even hear what you're saying?

Dai Mubai roared inwardly. That surge of anger made him spit out another mouthful of blood.

Even Flender and the others could not bear to watch any longer.

"Xiao Wu, tell me honestly. What exactly happened last night? Why did you beat Dai Mubai into this state?"

Flender pushed up his glasses and spoke with a grave expression. Then, an invisible pressure descended upon Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's entire body trembled. In the past, a mere Soul Saint could have been wiped out with a wave of her hand. But times had changed. Forget a Soul Saint—even a Soul Ancestor or Soul King was more than she could defeat now.

After thinking briefly, Xiao Wu told the truth. "When everyone came back last night, we had already reached the academy gates when Dai Mubai suddenly went mad and started questioning Zhu Zhuqing..."

After recounting what had happened, Xiao Wu added, "What right did Dai Mubai have to look down on women and hit women? Sister Xiao Wu just couldn't stand it!"

"With Ning Rongrong boosting Zhu Zhuqing and me, Dai Mubai let his guard down for a moment, and then... then he ended up like this."

After hearing Xiao Wu's explanation, everyone frowned deeply. They knew Dai Mubai had merely spoken too quickly and had not intended to insult anyone.

But from Xiao Wu and the others' perspective, Dai Mubai truly deserved a beating for acting that way!

"Where are Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong? Where did they go?"

Flender's expression improved slightly. Since there was a reason behind it, the matter could still be explained away.

"They went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Xiao Wu answered truthfully.

Flender: "..."

Oscar and Dai Mubai were equally stunned. They had not expected the two girls to "flee in fear of punishment" and run off to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Upon hearing this, cold sweat began to form on Flender's forehead. What if—he meant, what if!

If Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo learned what had happened to Ning Rongrong at Shrek Academy, and that Dai Mubai had even declared he would kill her, could Shrek Academy still possibly remain standing?
