Xiao Wu: Thanks to the Opportunity Dai Mubai Created

The Star Dou Great Forest lay southeast of the Balak Kingdom, and Suotuo City was likewise in the southeast of the Balak Kingdom. The two were only a little over five hundred kilometers apart.

Moreover, as the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, the Star Dou Great Forest possessed the greatest and most comprehensive variety of soul beasts.

Their goal this time was to head to the Star Dou Great Forest and find a suitable soul beast for Oscar.

Since they were all soul masters, their traveling speed naturally far surpassed that of ordinary people.

In just one day, their group covered more than four hundred kilometers. By the time night fell, they happened to arrive at a small town.

Seeing that they would not be able to reach their destination that day, Zhao Wuji ordered everyone to rest in the town for the night and continue their journey the next morning.

After walking through the town for a while, Zhao Wuji pointed at an ordinary hotel ahead and said, "Here will do. Get a good rest tonight. Once we reach the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow, you'll be on your own. Oh, and you'll be paying for your own lodging and meals."

Everyone had long expected Zhao Wuji to be this stingy, so they did not argue with him. Dai Mubai stepped forward and volunteered, "I'll treat everyone today. It's fate that we can all study together at Shrek Academy, so consider this my welcome feast for your arrival."

Dai Mubai's words sounded perfectly proper, but everyone knew he was referring to Zhu Zhuqing.

Unfortunately, his efforts were destined to be futile. Zhu Zhuqing did not even glance at him and instead said to Luo Ye, "Luo Ye, let's sit over there. I'll treat you today."

Luo Ye ignored Dai Mubai as well. With a smile and a nod, he led Zhu Zhuqing to a table on the other side.

At this sight, Dai Mubai's expression darkened further. A trace of killing intent unconsciously surfaced in his heterochromatic eyes, and he wished he could slaughter Luo Ye right then and there.

What he had not expected, however, was that Ning Rongrong would pull Xiao Wu along with a giggle. "Sorry, but the two of us would rather sit with Zhuqing."

Xiao Wu helplessly spread her hands and gave Tang San a slightly apologetic look before Ning Rongrong pulled her over to sit with Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San thought Xiao Wu had been forced into it, but what he did not know was that Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong had discussed this long ago.

Whenever they had the chance, the three of them would gather together and use it as an excuse to stay away from Tang San. After doing it enough times, gradually distancing themselves from Tang San would become perfectly natural.

Tang San, still in the dark, did not think much of it. He patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and deliberately comforted him with self-deprecation. "Alright, Boss Dai. Now I'm just like everyone else."

Although Dai Mubai believed his situation was still different from Tang San's, he at least saved a little face. He immediately said, "Fatty, order the food. Order whatever you want. I'm going to stuff myself."

Depressed, Dai Mubai decided to turn his anger into appetite and gorge himself.

Ma Hongjun did not stand on ceremony. He ordered more than ten dishes in one go, leaving Tang San dumbfounded.

As they waited for the food to arrive, another group of eight entered the restaurant.

The uniforms of Canghui Academy they wore made it obvious at a glance that they were soul masters, and the restaurant owner hurriedly went up to greet them respectfully.

Ma Hongjun's tiny eyes fixated on the only female student in the Canghui Academy group, a lecherous gleam appearing in them. "That little chick looks pretty good. Boss Dai, they're from Canghui Academy, right?"

Dai Mubai was already irritated because Zhu Zhuqing had humiliated him. Now, seeing the restaurant owner treat the Canghui Academy group with such respect when he had not come to greet them earlier, made him even more displeased.

It was only because he was not confident he could defeat Luo Ye that he had restrained himself from picking another fight with him.

But with Canghui Academy appearing now, Dai Mubai found a target for the anger burning in his heart.

So Dai Mubai deliberately raised his voice and said loudly, "It's just some lousy Canghui Academy. What the hell are they?"

The teacher leading the Canghui Academy group heard Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's conversation clearly.

When he turned and saw Ma Hongjun staring lecherously at his student while Dai Mubai insulted Canghui Academy so openly, the teacher's expression immediately became extremely ugly.

Oscar looked as though he were enjoying a show as he whispered to Tang San, "This is going to be good."

Tang San looked at him in confusion. "What's going to be good?"

Oscar chuckled twice. "Our esteemed headmaster once said that a soul master who doesn't dare cause trouble isn't a good soul master. As they say, those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities. Boss Dai and Fatty are deliberately provoking them."

"Once they can't hold back and make a move, they'll get to have a fight with them."

Tang San could not help but laugh when he heard that.

Headmaster Flender really was interesting. No wonder he got along so well with his teacher—they were both far from ordinary.

While they were actively provoking Canghui Academy, Luo Ye, who had seen everything, began writing in his diary.

As expected, they still came.

The people from Canghui Academy had clearly done nothing. They had merely passed by to eat a meal, yet they had to be humiliated by people like Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai. How innocent were they?

No wonder that after they won their final victory, they turned the Douluo Continent into such a mess. They themselves were no good people.

But what I understood least was that in my previous life, not only did Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong fail to stop it, they actually chose to go along with them—and were even proud of it.

Could it be that after spending too long with the people of Shrek Academy, their personalities would inevitably become just as vile as theirs?

But seeing how close they were with Zhuqing now, if I took this opportunity to show my disapproval of such beliefs, what choice would they make?

Let's test it. If Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong didn't side with Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others like they had in my previous life, then it would prove that the two of them could still be saved.

After reading this diary entry, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong exchanged glances, silently communicating through their eyes.

Luo Ye was right. This was an excellent opportunity.

They could use this chance to draw a clear line between themselves and Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others. Even Xiao Wu could pretend that this had driven a wedge between her and Tang San, making all her subsequent actions seem perfectly natural.

At that thought, Xiao Wu even felt a trace of gratitude toward Dai Mubai.

She thanked him for creating such a good opportunity. Neither Luo Ye nor Tang San would suspect him.

Just then, the conflict between Dai Mubai's group of four and Canghui Academy officially erupted.
