Misunderstanding Deepens, Dai Mubai Loses It

Oscar was dumbfounded.

What was that sound coming from inside the room?

He had never expected Dai Leader to really become that kind of person.

Thinking about what had happened during class today, Oscar shuddered.

He needed to get out of here, fast!

But just then, a light breeze swept past.

With a creak, the door opened.

The scene inside the room was displayed with perfect clarity before Oscar's eyes.

Dai Mubai was straddling Ma Hongjun.

The blanket Ma Hongjun had wrapped tightly around himself had already been forcibly yanked open.

The two of them turned to look at Oscar as well.

The three stared at each other without saying a word.

The air instantly fell silent.

Oscar scratched his head.

"I didn't hear anything. I didn't see anything."

Then he swiftly shut the door and bolted for his dormitory, slamming the door shut and locking it behind him.

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance.

Dai Mubai hurriedly got up and ran toward Oscar's dormitory.

"Xiao Ao, don't you dare say you didn't see anything!"

"You've ruined my reputation!"

Dai Mubai pounded on Oscar's dormitory door.

"Oscar, open the door!"

Oscar braced the door shut with all his strength.

"Dai Leader, I never left my dormitory. I just woke up. I really didn't see anything."

Dai Mubai nearly failed to catch his breath.

He slammed his fist down hard, directly breaking the lock.

With a fierce shove, he sent Oscar flying onto the bed.

Dai Mubai rushed inside, hurriedly trying to clear things up.

"Xiao Ao, there's nothing between Fatty and me. We were just messing around."

Oscar nodded heavily.

"Yes, Dai Leader. I know there's nothing between you and Fatty. Really, I know."

At last, the commotion drew the others over.

"What are you guys doing?"

Several people looked curiously at the three of them.

"Nothing. Xiao Ao and I were just messing around."

Dai Mubai casually explained.

The others curiously peeked into Oscar's dormitory.

Oscar was sprawled on the bed, his pants having fallen off and exposing his pale flesh.

Dai Mubai's clothes, meanwhile, were extremely disheveled from his earlier scuffle with Ma Hongjun.

It was a simple scene.

Yet silence spoke louder than words.

The events that had supposedly occurred instantly filled everyone's minds.

"Ah!"

Xiao Wu cried out miserably, covered her eyes, and quickly threw herself into Ye Fan's arms.

"Fan Ge, my eyes are dirty!"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned, tossed out a sentence, and quickly left.

"You're really something."

This was another piece of ironclad evidence. She had to find an opportunity to call off the engagement!

Ning Rongrong also hurried back to her dormitory.

Ye Fan did not linger either and quickly returned to cultivate.

"No, listen to my explanation!"

Dai Mubai shouted.

But at this point, no one believed him.

Plot alteration successful. Oscar and Dai Mubai have been deeply misunderstood as having turned gay. Reward: 1,000 points.

Before Ye Fan had even returned to his dormitory, he heard the system's voice.

This reward was simply too satisfying.

He loved this kind of thing—getting gossip and rewards at the same time.

Dai Mubai looked at Oscar, then at Ma Hongjun, who was standing nearby with an awkward grin. He threw out a single word and strode toward his dormitory.

"Fuck!"

He had completely lost face today.

Oscar was devastated as well. He really had brought this on himself.

Why had he wanted to ask someone about his Third Soul Ring?

"Xiao Ao, what did you want to see Dai Leader and me about just now?"

Ma Hongjun was unusually clear-headed.

Oscar quickly pulled up his pants.

He sighed.

"I was too excited to sleep."

"We're going to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."

"So I wanted to ask you two what kind of Soul Ring would be more suitable for improving the supportive effects of my sausages."

"But the moment I got to the door, I heard that kind of sound. Then the dormitory door was blown open by the wind."

Ma Hongjun sighed, marveling at the sheer absurdity of it all.

The door had opened at far too perfect a moment.

If it had not opened, none of this would have happened.

The door had clearly been shut tightly, yet it had somehow been blown open by the wind.

Naturally, it had not been opened by the wind under normal circumstances.

Ye Fan had changed the closed door into an open one.

So the door naturally opened.

"For your Third Soul Ring, either adding another support effect or strengthening the first two effects would work."

"As for what effect you want, you're being picky. You'll be lucky enough just to get one."

Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes.

"Alright, I'm going back to sleep. After all this fuss, we still have to get up early and leave tomorrow."

Oscar sighed. After all this turmoil, he was no longer excited about his Third Soul Ring. He was even a little sleepy.

Just as he was about to close the door and sleep—

Ma Hongjun's lecherous rat-like head suddenly poked inside.

"Xiao Ao, did nothing really happen between you and Dai Leader just now?"

Oscar: ...

"Get lost!"

"Sure!"

The next day, everyone ate breakfast early in the cafeteria before gathering on the field.

Zhao Wuji had already been waiting there.

In the original plot, Tang Hao had beaten up Zhao Wuji.

At this point, Zhao Wuji would have been bruised and swollen.

But Tang San had never entered Shrek Academy, so naturally Zhao Wuji had not gotten beaten up.

Still, for some reason, Ma Hongjun had two black eyes.

"Everyone, set out. Mubai, lead the team."

Dai Mubai nodded. His expression immediately turned serious as he carefully arranged the work ahead.

"The Star Dou Great Forest isn't a place to be taken lightly."

"There are many Soul Beasts inside, and they're all extremely aggressive. They don't think much of us humans either."

"Everyone must be careful."

"I'll be at the front."

"Oscar, Ning Rongrong, you two follow behind me."

"Fatty, Xiao Wu, you two take the left and right flanks."

"Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Fan, you two bring up the rear."

"After entering the forest, maintain this formation and stay vigilant at all times."

"Let's go."

Dai Mubai's arrangements were extremely thorough.

His combat strength was currently the second strongest.

Only Ye Fan surpassed him, making him highly suitable as the vanguard.

The two support-system Soul Masters were placed in the center of the team for protection.

Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun could provide support from either side at any time.

Meanwhile, the strongest, Ye Fan, guarded the rear.

His summons could more easily hold enemies back and allow the others to escape.

Dai Mubai also had his own selfish motives.

He wanted Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Fan to spend more time together.

He wanted to bring the two of them together.

Once they were together, he could use that as a reason to openly call off the engagement.
