Had she... slapped Ma Xiaotao's admiration fetish right out of her?
That shouldn't have happened. She had only thought it would be troublesome if Ma Xiaotao's evil fire erupted here. How had she somehow awakened a new kink in her?
Annual Blame-Shifting Competition
Shrek Academy, somewhere on Sea God Island.
Xuan Zi gulped down mouthful after mouthful of wine, looking as though he intended to drink himself senseless.
"Elder Xuan, the condition of the students you brought back has stabilized." An elderly man in white respectfully bowed to Xuan Zi and explained the situation of each student he had brought back.
"Fortunately, you brought them back in time. Their lives are no longer in danger. The poison they were afflicted with was Corpse Poison. Luckily, that was the only toxin involved, and the academy already had methods to deal with it."
"Chen Zifeng has also been examined by the Soul Tool Department. They said making him a prosthetic limb will not be a problem. Though it ultimately will not be as convenient as his original body, he will at least be able to stand again. With Chen Zifeng's martial soul, his strength should not be affected too greatly."
"As for those Outer Court core disciples... their injuries were not particularly severe. Any occasional bodily damage can still be remedied. It is a blessing amid misfortune."
"That's good." Xuan Zi stopped drinking, his gaze filled with weariness.
At that moment, another elderly man in white robes approached.
Without turning around, Xuan Zi said, "Shaozhe, is the Sea God Pavilion meeting ready?"
Yan Shaozhe looked at Xuan Zi's stooped, lonely figure and sighed inwardly. "Elder Xuan, it is ready."
Whenever a Sea God Pavilion meeting was convened, it was bound to concern a major matter capable of affecting the entire Douluo Continent.
