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

In truth, after losing to Tang San twice in a row, she had already begun to develop feelings for him.

Now, Tang San's choice between her and Xiao Wu had completely broken her heart.

"Meng Yiran, just leave. Third Brother will never like you. Just give up on that idea," Xiao Wu said, overjoyed by Tang San's words, placing her hands on her hips and glaring fiercely at Meng Yiran.

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

"In my eyes, you're just a little boy. Only a little girl like Xiao Wu would be fooled by your looks."

"Grandpa, Grandma, let's go!"

Meng Yiran was already heartbroken and humiliated by Tang San's choice.

After all, Tang San and Xiao Wu had been together for a long time, so it was normal for him to make such a decision.

She could understand.

But Xiao Wu's words just now had hurt her deeply and stripped her of all dignity.

It was as if she was desperately in love with Tang San, an unreasonable and willful woman who was trying to cling to him.

If that got out, how would the world see her?

She, Meng Yiran, was, after all, a respectable young lady, with a fiery figure, delicate features, and the status of a goddess.

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

Anyone would be angry to hear that.

"Heh, no wonder you're Grandmaster's excellent disciple. You really do have the same personality."

"Tang San, Shrek Academy, you'd better watch yourselves."

Dragon Lord was furious that his precious granddaughter had been bullied.

If it weren't for Tang San's identity and the person behind him, he would have already taken action and killed Tang San on the spot, given his personality.

"Good for you, Tang San! Good for you, Shrek! You just wait, we'll meet again!"

Serpent Woman was also very angry. After uttering those harsh words, she left angrily with Dragon Lord, hurrying to catch up with their granddaughter and comforting her softly.

"Xiao Wu, you've disappointed me too much."

"Tang San treats you like this, and you still give him a chance, thinking of him."

"If he only had you in his heart, he wouldn't have hesitated at all just now, and he wouldn't have turned his back to Meng Yiran when making his choice, afraid to look her in the eye."

"That's a sign of his guilt. You can't let yourself get caught up in this."

"Although I'm a bit of a lecher, I'm straightforward. I dare to show it, without any pretense, honestly and openly."

"Whatever kind of person I am, that's what I'll be."

"Can Tang San do that, I wonder?"

"Xiao Wu, the choice is yours. Think carefully about what I told you before. Don't easily trust anyone, and don't easily entrust your whole life to someone."

"You and Tang San are not from the same world, there is a fundamental difference, and time cannot bridge that gap."

"Even though you and Tang San have six years of deep affection, who can guarantee that there won't be any accidents in the future?"

"Xiao Wu, think it over carefully. This concerns your future."

Sun Sheng felt that there was no point in staying here any longer now that Meng Yiran had left.

Before leaving, he deliberately left behind a few meaningful words that were easy to misinterpret.

He knew that in the current situation, saying more wouldn't do much good.

Even if he used Meng Yiran to sow discord between Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship, how could their six years of deep affection be so easily undermined by him?

He could only take it one step at a time, planting seeds deep in Xiao Wu's heart, opening the first step of subversion.

He had plenty of time, enough time to grind slowly.

And Sun Sheng's words just now were also full of hidden meaning, not the obvious meaning.

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

It was likely that he could also plant the same seed in Tang San's heart, making him feel a trace of resentment towards Xiao Wu.

Because every man wants to know what Sun Sheng said to his beloved.

Otherwise, that scene just now wouldn't have happened.

And with Sun Sheng's understanding of Xiao Wu, she couldn't possibly tell the truth, especially her true identity.

Even if Xiao Wu made some explanations to deliberately cover it up, in the current situation, her explanation would have the opposite effect.

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

This was Sun Sheng's true purpose.

Ding! Seduce Xiao Wu and Tang San, task completion progress: 20%. Reward: two Soul Orbs, four hundred Leveling Value, four hundred Exchange Value.

Sure enough, his words had an effect.

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

"Young Brother Sun Sheng, hold on!"

Sun Sheng turned back, his brow furrowed, and asked, "Is there something else, sir?"

"I wonder, Young Brother Sun Sheng, which family's genius are you? Would you be interested in studying at our Shrek Academy?" Zhao Wuji continued.

Study?

Whether it was Sun Sheng or Tang San and the others, they were all stunned in place.

"Teacher Zhao, why, why would you invite this bad kid to our Shrek Academy?"

Oscar, who completely considered Shrek Academy his home, was very puzzled by Zhao Wuji's actions.

In his heart, Zhao Wuji was a man of iron, hating evil as his enemy.

How could he suddenly extend an invitation to Sun Sheng?

"Bad kid?"

"Little Oscar, Young Brother Sun Sheng isn't a bad person at heart, he's just a bit of a womanizer, arrogant, and conceited."

"If he hadn't shown mercy multiple times, Tang San and the rest of you would have been severely injured long ago."

"If I'm not mistaken, Young Brother Sun Sheng is still holding back his strength."

"As for why he's targeting Tang San so much, I guess the two of them have some prior grudges."

"Tang San and Xiao Wu understand this, after all, they've known each other for a while."

Zhao Wuji smiled calmly, explaining patiently.

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

From Sun Sheng's two consecutive encounters with the Shrek Seven Devils, he could see that Sun Sheng didn't feel any pressure from beginning to end, as if he was just playing around.

Based on his many years of experience, Sun Sheng had definitely hidden his strength, and not just a little bit.

"That's right, Sun Sheng is indeed hiding his strength. If he used his full strength, even if Teacher Zhao made a move, he might not get any advantage."

At this time, Xiao Wu spoke.

She had personally witnessed Sun Sheng unleash his full strength, that powerful staff, that dazzling hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, made her heart tremble.

"Xiao, Xiao Wu, why, why are you speaking up for this guy?"

Oscar stammered in surprise upon hearing this.

"I'm just stating the facts, his true strength is beyond your imagination," Xiao Wu said seriously.

"Xiao Wu is right, Sun Sheng's strength is very strong. If he wanted to kill us, we would have almost no room to resist."

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu and also spoke, supporting her words.

Because through the battle just now, he once again re-recognized Sun Sheng's strength.

It was indeed very easy for Sun Sheng to kill him.

This was a fact.
