Xuan Zi: Huabin, Be Careful Lately. Wait Until Your Teacher Flushes Out the Mastermind!

It would be fine under other circumstances.

But in this sensitive situation, someone actually came to my door looking for me.

This made Dai Huabin begin to suspect that the assassins' mouths had been pried open.

Therefore, he was really panicked at this moment.

His once arrogant and unruly face turned deathly pale.

His first reaction was to find a place to escape.

But upon closer examination...

If I just run away now, wouldn't that be the same as admitting guilt without being asked?

Furthermore, Shrek Academy has so many powerful individuals.

With my meager strength, even if I wanted to run away, could I actually escape?

Therefore, although he was extremely flustered.

But after figuring these things out, he could only grit his teeth, steel himself, and open the door.

He opened the door and found that the person who came in was actually Xuan Zi.

A chill ran through me: So, it was my teacher who came to see me off.

He felt a deep sense of regret.

If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

If only he had known this would happen to him sooner.

Then he would definitely not dare to continue opposing Huo Yuhao.

After all, he had already become the disciple of Taotie Douluo Xuanlao.

If he hadn't brought this upon himself, he would definitely have been able to enter the Inner Court Shrek Academy in the future, and then he should have had a bright future.

But now, he has destroyed everything.

A bitter feeling inevitably welled up in his heart.

Meanwhile, Xuan Zi, who was standing to the side, looked at Dai Huabin with some confusion. He couldn't help but ask Dai Huabin, "What's wrong? Huabin? You don't look well! Are you sick? And why are you injured?"

Dai Huabin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

But he quickly realized that Xuan Zi wasn't here to arrest him!

If they were here to arrest me, they wouldn't need to waste so much time talking to me.

But the fact that he cares so much about me clearly means he doesn't know the truth yet.

It seemed that the spies he sent out hadn't been able to get their mouths open yet. Thinking of this, Dai Huabin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally feeling a huge weight lifted from his heart.

He immediately let Xuan Zi into the dormitory, then poured Xuan Zi a glass of water and said, "No, it's nothing, I just accidentally got it while cultivating earlier. By the way, teacher, what brings you here?"

Xuan Zi took a sip of water and said, "Don't even mention it. Recently, some reckless fool dared to send assassins to commit murder at our Shrek Academy. Isn't that tantamount to provoking Shrek Academy?"

"Therefore, the academy's higher-ups have now issued a directive: this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and the perpetrators must not be let off the hook!"

Dai Huabin's lips twitched as he listened, his fear growing stronger, and his face becoming increasingly pale. He couldn't help but ask Xuan Zi, "Teacher, is there any progress in the investigation?"

Xuan Zi shook his head. "Not yet. Those who seem to have received special training are keeping their mouths shut. But it will be soon. Shrek Academy has many methods; we will definitely be able to get them to talk."

"We must find the mastermind behind this when the time comes."

He had no intention of lingering there any longer.

Actually, the main reason he came today was to remind Dai Huabin, lest Dai Huabin also be assassinated.

So he said to Dai Huabin, "I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer."

"I came to see you today mainly to check on you. It's been several days since we last met, and I was worried that what happened last time might have been too much of a blow to you. But it seems you've recovered."

"Also, it's best not to go out unnecessarily for the next few days. Things aren't safe outside right now. Once we find out who's behind this, the students will be safe."

He waved his hand after speaking and left without waiting for Dai Huabin's reply.

Dai Huabin could only watch Xuan Zi leave.

Once Xuan Zi had completely left, he closed the door, but his heart suddenly grew even colder.

"This is it, it's really over!"

He slapped himself hard across the face.

"Why did you ruin your promising future?"

"Dai Huabin, you're such an idiot!"

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.

Even if he regrets it, he will soon be judged by the Shrek Academy!

On the other side...

Shrek Academy acted swiftly.

Following this incident, compensation was quickly distributed to Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er as requested by Mu En.

They were quite sincere this time.

To show their sincerity, they even offered three pieces of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as compensation.

Huo Yuhao knew that they weren't really to blame, so he gladly accepted their apology.

However, he made some inquiries.

It seems that the Duke's Mansion is being very stubborn at this moment.

No matter how hard Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo tried, they couldn't pry open the intelligence.

Huo Yuhao originally didn't want to bother with such things.

Unexpectedly, the system's familiar voice came again.

[Bite!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully unlocked a new mission!]

[Mission Description: Get the assassins in the Duke's Mansion to talk and tell them the truth!]

[Mission Reward: 1 B-Rank Blind Box!]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile.

"I don't want to argue with you."

"But the system won't allow it."

"Since you brought this on yourselves, you can't blame me for being ruthless."

Huo Yuhao didn't stay in the dormitory any longer. He got up and prepared to go find Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo.

But on the way, he met Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er.

The two began to inquire about Huo Yuhao's intentions, and Huo Yuhao did not hide anything from them, directly telling them his purpose for leaving.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er were slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but ask, "Yuhao, even Dean Lin'er and Vice Dean Qian Duoduo couldn't get them to tell the truth, can you?"

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "A man can't say no."

Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes at Huo Yuhao and said, "What time is it? Can't you do anything proper?"

Huo Yuhao said to the two of them, "I have a brilliant plan. Since you're here, let's go together!"

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er agreed upon hearing this, and soon followed Huo Yuhao to the Shrek Academy Great Prison.

They also saw Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo interrogating the assassin.

"Yuhao, what brings you here?" Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo walked over and looked at Huo Yuhao with surprise.

Huo Yuhao simply smiled and said, "I heard that you teachers couldn't handle these guys, so I came."

Xian Lin'er said helplessly, "It's really troublesome. These guys have all received special training and won't say anything no matter what."

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Huo Yuhao, "Wait, disciple, do you mean you have a way?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then whispered something in Xian Lin'er's ear.

Xian Lin'er's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but say, "You little rascal! How come you're still so clever?"

"Okay, let's try it as you say!"
