The Way Is Grand, Meng De Eternal

A real man was truly a real man, and truly miserable too.

Since the online commenters thought so highly of Oscar, now that I had come to this world myself, it would be fine to help fulfill their dream.

As for Oscar, I could lend him a small hand when the right opportunity arose. When it came down to it, I owed him one too.

After all, now that I was in this world, I definitely couldn't let history unfold the way it originally had. I was determined to live off my wife Rongrong!

Since I'd stolen Oscar's chance to live off a woman, helping him out later as compensation would be perfectly reasonable.

That way, Oscar wouldn't have to face the ill-fated destiny he had in the original novel.

In Boss Cao's words...

Your wife, I'll support her!

Worry not! Worry not!

This familiar feeling...

It was exactly the same as his previous diary entries!

Xiao Wu was starting to lose it.

Ning Rongrong was starting to lose it too.

All the women reading the diary were starting to lose it.

They had just worked up their emotions when he suddenly took a sharp turn and dragged them into a ditch.

Was that fun?

Was that supposed to be fun?!

But seeing that Wei Feng was actually willing to help Oscar out...

They found some comfort in it, more or less.

Based on what had just been written...

Oscar truly had a miserable fate.

With Wei Feng's status as the Saint Son of Spirit Hall, helping Oscar change his fate...

It might really be possible.

After all, strictly speaking, Spirit Hall would soon be standing against Tang San.

And Wei Feng, the Saint Son of Spirit Hall, would be the first to bear the brunt of it.

Even though they stood in opposing camps...

He was willing to help simply because he acknowledged Oscar as a decent person.

That was also what a real man did!

Wei Feng had no idea that other people could read his Diary.

The moment he received the Diary, he had asked the system about it.

Products made by the system were always premium.

The Diary was unique.

No one else could possibly see it.

Even the possibility he had jokingly mentioned before—that he might accidentally lose the Diary—was impossible. It already existed in his mind; there was no way it could be lost.

So...

Having finished today's quota of filler, he was feeling quite at ease.

It was already afternoon, and there wasn't much time left until night.

All he could think about now was the reward he would receive at midnight.

Though he wanted to take things slowly, the Soul Master Competition was already underway, and he didn't have much time left.

Everything that needed preparing had to be prepared.

Shrek Academy.

By the fountain.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had waited for quite a while.

The Diary did not continue updating, and the two girls stopped expecting more.

What had happened to Oscar really left them feeling stifled.

However...

Wei Feng had said he would help as circumstances allowed.

That put their minds at ease somewhat.

"He probably won't write any more today. We should head back too," Xiao Wu said.

Ning Rongrong gave a soft hum. "We should, but if we go back now, we might run into the matter Wei Feng mentioned in the Diary."

"And Tang San has already gone to meet that Qian Renxue Wei Feng mentioned. His hostility toward Spirit Hall must be shooting through the roof now."

"Yu Xiaogang will probably use this as an excuse to bring up my training in Heart Separation Control too."

Xiao Wu's expression darkened slightly. She gave a cold snort. "It might not be just that. I pointed at Tang San and cursed him for ages at the school gate earlier."

"If everything in the Diary is true, then when we go back, we'll probably have to deal with other people blaming us too."

"But if they really blame us, we can see how Yu Xiaogang plans to ask you to teach Tang San Heart Separation Control afterward."

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.

Xiao Wu's sudden reminder immediately filled her mind with all sorts of strange ideas.

The Little Witch in her was beginning to run wild.

Xiao Wu instantly understood what Ning Rongrong meant and gave a sly smile. "Then let's go!"

Ning Rongrong hummed in agreement. The two girls linked arms and headed back toward the Shrek Academy dormitories.

About ten minutes later, they returned to the dormitory.

By then, the dormitory was already packed.

Not only were Tang San and the other core members there, but Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Liu Erlong, and the others were present as well.

When Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong returned...

Countless gazes focused on the two girls at once.

Tang San also saw them return. When his eyes met Xiao Wu's, his expression darkened even further.

Tang San's background was no secret among the people of Shrek Academy.

They also knew that Tang San was going to meet Crown Princess Xue Qinghe today.

Tang San had been back for some time already, and they had learned from him about what Tang Hao had suffered back then.

For a moment, the looks directed at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were as strange as could be.

"Xiao Wu, Rongrong, come over and sit down."

Yu Xiaogang had one hand behind his back and the other resting against his chest, his expression as stern as could be.

At that moment, he fully assumed the bearing of Shrek Team's ace mentor.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong sat on the other side of the large table. Seeing Yu Xiaogang putting on such a profound act, they couldn't help feeling sick.

If they had not known what kind of person Yu Xiaogang was, they might actually have felt a little admiration for him right then.

But after learning of Yu Xiaogang's actions...

It was unbearable to look at him, truly unbearable! "I heard about what happened at the school gate. You are members of the same team, and such things will absolutely not be permitted in the future."

"I also heard that you have been in contact with the Saint Son of Spirit Hall these past two days. Considering the news Xiao San just brought back, you should have as little contact with Spirit Hall as possible from now on."

Yu Xiaogang spoke in a grave and earnest manner.

When he mentioned these matters, he did not consider at all that he himself was an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall.

"Next, given the conflicts that have arisen within your team, I will temporarily give you special training before the next match begins!"

"Starting today, all of you will cultivate together. Do your best to eliminate the barriers between you and regard one another as your closest companions."

"Rongrong especially. You are a support Soul Master. When you officially enter a team battle, your support for the battle Soul Masters will have a tremendous impact."

"Based on my observations, you have not been diligent in training your clan's Heart Separation Control. Therefore, your special training during this period will be to improve your mastery of Heart Separation Control as much as possible."

"And since Xiao San possesses Twin Martial Souls, if possible, bring Xiao San along when you train Heart Separation Control."

"These are my arrangements for you moving forward! They are also the greatest way to improve your team!"
