As Ning Rongrong and the others were scrambling to give Shi Yi water, Tang San, who had been standing behind with a cold expression, slowly walked forward. His gaze was fixed on the child before him, and a surge of surprise and confusion welled up in his heart.
Just moments ago, Tang San had been discussing with Oscar and the others how easily they had won the competition. They had also brought up the child who had disrupted their hunt for Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
If it weren't for that child, Tang San thought, and if he had obtained a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, their chances of winning the championship would have been even greater.
Now, someone who looked very much like that child appeared before him, and Tang San's heart instantly filled with anger. He clenched his fists, his expression showing his fury.
It was the child's fault for stealing his Spirit Beast, and he had also stolen his immortal herb. The loss of the Aromatic Silk Beauty made him extremely unhappy. He refused to believe that the child was that strong; there must be something he didn't know.
However, this child looked somewhat familiar, but upon closer inspection, he felt different from the child he had encountered before.
This time, the clothes the child wore had changed from red to orange, but their faces were very similar, almost like twins.
What shocked Tang San even more was that his Purple Demon Eye saw that the child's eyes were actually the Chong Tong (Double Pupils) pattern, which left Tang San very confused.
After all, in the Tang Sect of his previous life, he had never even seen anyone with Chong Tong.
But in just an instant, he spoke enthusiastically, "I'll give you mine if you want water... I have plenty of water here."
"Third Brother?"
Seeing Tang San step forward, the other members of Shrek assumed he felt the same guilt they did and didn't stop him.
Only Xiao Wu looked at Tang San's actions, wanting to speak but ultimately remaining silent.
Shi Yi had no objections; as long as he could have water, it didn't matter who gave it to him.
"Come, come... drink water, drink water."
Tang San took out a water flask from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night, holding some powder in his hand. He smeared it onto the mouth of the flask. However, these actions were swift, and he produced it from behind, so no one could see.
But Shi Yi frowned slightly, took the water flask, and looked at the opened flask without drinking it down.
He simply stared at Tang San, saying nothing.
The others couldn't help but ask, "Kid, weren't you thirsty? Why aren't you drinking?"
Tang San was also a bit surprised.
"Kid... why aren't you drinking the water? Is it because you're not very thirsty yet?"
Seeing Tang San's action, Shi Yi couldn't help but feel disdain. His father was right; you can know a person's face but not their heart. You have to keep your eyes open and not be deceived.
They had planned to walk a bit further into the forest to look for a water source, but they met people along the way. Thinking that his father had said people are always helpful, he had asked, only to be met with an attempt to poison him. How sinister people were!
That's right, Shi Yi had seen Tang San's small movements clearly just now.
He possessed Innate Double Pupils and could see objects tens of miles away with perfect clarity, let alone such a small movement from Tang San.
"This water is problematic! I'm not drinking it."
Shi Yi said directly, his face expressionless.
"Impossible!"
"Kid, you can drink water carelessly, but you can't just spout nonsense!"
"How could there be a problem with the water Third Brother gave!"
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun questioned the child's words one after another, almost simultaneously.
They felt this child was truly ungrateful and going too far. They had kindly offered him water, and he accused them of poisoning it.
"Yeah, little friend, you must be mistaken. This water definitely has no problems."
"That's right, Third Brother wouldn't harm you."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also stepped forward to explain, their expressions full of sincerity.
But seeing the child still looking unconvinced, they were also at a loss.
Xiao Wu, seeing the child riding a Spirit Beast, secretly thought that this child must also be a Spirit Beast, a fellow creature. But it was inconvenient to say so directly, so she decided to prove it herself.
She took the water flask from Shi Yi's hand and said generously, "Then Sister Xiao Wu will take a sip for you. If there's no problem, you can drink it, right!"
She held the water flask in one hand and pointed at it with a finger.
"Okay! If Big Sister says there's no problem, I'll drink it," Shi Yi said with a smile.
Hearing the childish "Big Sister," Xiao Wu felt very happy. She raised the water flask, about to pour the water.
Suddenly, Tang San, behind Xiao Wu, waved his hand and said coldly.
"No! Xiao Wu, you can't drink it!"
"Brother, why can't I drink it? Is there really something wrong with this water?"
Xiao Wu was surprised. She hadn't noticed Tang San's subtle movements and only thought that Tang San disliked the child before them.
She didn't even consider the possibility that Tang San might poison it.
"No, this water has been sitting for a long time, and it's indeed problematic. You can't drink it," Tang San blurted out, trying to snatch the water flask from Xiao Wu's hand.
However, upon hearing this, Xiao Wu flicked her wrist, and the water flask collided with Tang San's outstretched Jade Hand.
"Bang..." The water flask shattered on the ground, and the water spilled everywhere.
Everyone was stunned!
Xiao Wu was also frozen, looking at Tang San with disbelief.
What was this supposed to be?
Shi Yi, with a cold expression, remained silent. The water was definitely poisoned, and it seemed quite potent. Dissolved in water, it was colorless and odorless, undetectable by normal people.
The people from other academies turned to look at Tang San. Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Divine Wind Academy team, couldn't help but sneer, "Tang San, if you don't want to give the kid water, you don't have to poison it. You even pretended to break the kettle to destroy the evidence."
Tang San frowned slightly. He knew he had done it, but he didn't want to conflict with them, so he explained, "I just wanted to help her with the kettle, I didn't expect this to happen."
However, Feng Xiaotian pressed on, "Hmph, who knows if you did it on purpose? You just didn't want the kid to drink water, seeing as they're young and easy to bully."
"Before, you said you knew their brother, but I think it's more like knowing an enemy... Tang San, you truly are a despicable person!!"
At this moment, Dai Mubai stepped forward and said angrily, "Feng Xiaotian, don't make baseless accusations! Tang San didn't mean anything like that. Your Divine Wind Academy is just sore losers from the match, that's why you're so upset with strangers."
Ma Hongjun and Oscar also stepped forward to support Tang San.
In their hearts, Tang San was perfect and incapable of such actions.
The two sides immediately became hostile, and the atmosphere grew extremely tense.
Tang San's expression turned extremely grim. Looking at Shi Yi in front of him, a flicker of killing intent crossed his eyes.
Why was it that every time he encountered these Gourd Babies, he couldn't speak... Couldn't these bastards just die obediently?
"Brother San..."
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with a worried expression.
