Further Instigation, Zhao Wuji Extends an Invitation to Sun Sheng

Meng Yiran shuddered slightly upon hearing Tang San's choice.

In fact, after losing to Tang San twice in a row, she had already grown somewhat fond of him.

Now, Tang San's choice between her and Xiao Wu could be said to have completely broken her heart.

"Meng Yiran, you should go. Third Brother won't like you, so you might as well give up."

Listening to Tang San's words, Xiao Wu was overjoyed, akimbo, and glared fiercely at Meng Yiran.

"Tang San, you really think this young lady likes you?"

"In my eyes, you're just a little brother, and only a little girl like Xiao Wu would be charmed by your looks."

"Grandpa, Grandma, let's go!"

Having heard Tang San's choice, Meng Yiran was already very heartbroken and humiliated.

After all, Tang San and Xiao Wu had spent a long time together, so making such a choice was completely normal.

She could understand it.

Yet Xiao Wu's previous words broke her heart even more and stripped her of all dignity.

It sounded as if she was desperately fond of Tang San, acting as an unreasonable and willful woman stubbornly clinging to him.

If this word got out, what would the world think of her?

She, Meng Yiran, was at least a refined young lady with a curvaceous figure, exquisite looks, and the demeanor of a goddess.

Yet she was made to sound utterly worthless, throwing herself at him shamelessly instead.

Anyone would be furious upon hearing that.

"Hehe, truly the excellent disciple of Grandmaster, sharing the exact same personality."

"Tang San, Shrek Academy, take care of yourselves."

Dragon Lord was furious upon seeing his beloved granddaughter bullied.

If not for his reservations about Tang San's identity and the person backing him up, given his temperament, he would have long since made a move and executed Tang San on the spot.

"Fine Tang San, fine Shrek, just wait, we'll meet again!"

Serpent Woman was also extremely furious. After dropping these harsh words, she left angrily with Dragon Lord, hurriedly catching up to their granddaughter to gently comfort her.

"Xiao Wu, you disappoint me too much."

"Tang San treats you like this, yet you still give him a chance and think on his behalf."

"If he only had you in his heart, he wouldn't have hesitated at all just now, nor would he have turned his back on Meng Yiran instead of facing her head-on when making his choice."

"This is a sign of a guilty conscience, so you must not let yourself sink into this."

"Although I am somewhat lustful, I stand by my words and actions, daring to display them openly without any concealment, upright and honest."

"Whatever kind of personality I have, that is the kind of person I am."

"May I ask if Tang San can do that?"

"Xiao Wu, the choice is yours. Think carefully about what I told you before. Do not easily trust anyone, and even less easily entrust your life to a single person."

"You and Tang San do not belong to the same world; there is a fundamental difference that time cannot mend."

"Even if you and Tang San share six years of deep affection, who can guarantee that accidents won't happen in the future?"

"Xiao Wu, you'd better think it over carefully; this concerns your future."

Seeing Meng Yiran leave, Sun Sheng felt there was no point in staying any longer.

Before leaving, he deliberately dropped a few profound remarks intended to spark imaginative thoughts.

He knew that under the current circumstances, saying anything more would have little effect.

Even though he had used Meng Yiran to sow discord between Xiao Wu and Tang San, how could the deep affection built over their six years be so easily undermined by him?

He had to take it one step at a time, planting a seed deep within Xiao Wu's heart and initiating the first step of instigation.

He had plenty of time and enough patience to grind away slowly.

Sun Sheng's few words just now also carried a profound hidden meaning, rather than a literal one.

Every sentence hinted at something. Although on the surface it was addressed to Xiao Wu, it was actually deliberately spoken for Tang San to hear.

Barring any accidents, it should also plant the same seed deep within Tang San's heart, causing him to harbor a trace of wariness toward Xiao Wu.

Because any man would want to know what Sun Sheng had said to the person he loved.

Otherwise, the scene from just moments ago would not have occurred.

Based on Sun Sheng's understanding of Xiao Wu, it was impossible for her to truthfully disclose it, especially regarding her true identity.

Even if Xiao Wu offered some explanation to intentionally cover it up, under the current circumstances, her explanation would backfire instead.

Over time, this seed would gradually grow in Tang San's heart, slowly breeding conflict.

This was Sun Sheng's true objective.

Ding! Instigated discord between Xiao Wu and Tang San, task completion progress: 20%. Rewarded two Soul Orbs, four hundred points of Leveling Value, four hundred points of Exchange Value.

Sure enough, those few words of his had taken effect.

Yet just as Sun Sheng turned to leave and catch up with Meng Yiran, Dragon Lord, and Serpent Woman, Zhao Wuji called out to stop him.

"Little brother Sun Sheng, wait a moment!"

Sun Sheng turned back, his brow furrowed, and asked, "Does Your Excellency have any other business?"

"I wonder if little brother Sun Sheng is a genius from some prestigious family, and if you would be interested in coming to study at our Shrek Academy?" Zhao Wuji continued to ask.

Study?

Neither Sun Sheng nor Tang San and the others could help freezing in place at those words.

"Teacher Zhao, wh-why are you inviting this bad boy to our Shrek Academy?"

Oscar, who completely regarded Shrek Academy as his home, found Zhao Wuji's actions utterly incomprehensible.

In his heart, Zhao Wuji was an unyielding man of integrity who despised evil as an enemy.

How could he suddenly extend an invitation to Sun Sheng?

"Bad boy?"

"Little Ao, actually little brother Sun Sheng's heart isn't bad; it's just that he's somewhat lustful, arrogant, and conceited."

"If not for him showing mercy time and again, both Tang San and the rest of you would have been severely injured by him long ago."

"If I'm not mistaken, little brother Sun Sheng should still be holding back his true strength."

"As for why he targeted Little San repeatedly, it's likely because the two of them had some prior grievances."

"Regarding this point, both Little San and Xiao Wu understand, since they've known each other for a long time anyway."

Zhao Wuji smiled calmly and patiently explained.

Although Zhao Wuji did not know Sun Sheng's true strength, he wasn't blind.

From Sun Sheng's two consecutive clashes with the Shrek Seven Devils, he could tell that Sun Sheng felt no pressure from start to finish, as if he were merely playing around.

Based on his many years of experience, Sun Sheng had definitely concealed his strength, and it was far from just that.

"That's right, Sun Sheng has indeed concealed his strength. If he uses his full power, even if Teacher Zhao steps in, you might not come out ahead."

At this moment, Xiao Wu spoke up.

She had witnessed Sun Sheng unleash his full power with her own eyes—that mighty staff and that shining Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had made her heart tremble.

"Li-Little Wu, wh-why are you speaking up for this guy?"

Hearing this, Oscar stammered in astonishment.

"I'm merely speaking objectively. His true strength is definitely not something you can imagine," Xiao Wu said solemnly.

"What Xiao Wu said is correct. Sun Sheng's strength is formidable. If he wants to kill us, we practically have no room for resistance."

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu and spoke up as well, supporting her words.

Because through the battle just now, he had once again gained a new appreciation of Sun Sheng's strength.

For Sun Sheng to kill him would indeed be extremely easy.

This was a fact.
