Yu Xiaogang! I'll Be Damned! Tang San Was Speechless!

Ning Rongrong had no intention of wasting any more time on a playboy like Oscar. She even kicked him in the leg.

"Get lost!"

Oscar was completely stunned. Seeing Ning Rongrong acting as if she had gone mad, he was utterly at a loss.

In the end, he could only leave for the time being out of fear that something might happen.

Ning Rongrong's face was cold, but her heart was incredibly conflicted. Once, she had also held some affection for Oscar.

Unfortunately, that man had deceived her...

She shook her head and left.

At the entrance of Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were already prepared. They had even called for a carriage.

When they saw Ning Rongrong, they took the initiative to pull her into the carriage and leave together.

The three women sat in the carriage, looking at the Shrek Academy where they had stayed for a long time. Every face was filled with complicated emotions.

At that moment, Xiao Wu could no longer hold back her tears.

"Why? Why did it come to this..."

"I... I didn't even say goodbye to Xiao San... Wuwuwu..."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were saddened to hear this. Ning Rongrong comforted her, "It's okay, Xiao Wu."

"If Tang San has truly been brainwashed by Yu Xiaogang, then he isn't worth your affection."

"If Tang San has you in his heart, he'll come looking for you."

"Didn't you say last night that you would leave him a letter?"

Xiao Wu nodded. This was the only thing she could do.

If she went to say goodbye, she definitely would not be able to control her emotions and would reveal that they were leaving Shrek. Then, none of the three of them would be able to leave.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing did not understand. They thought she had merely given up on Tang San.

But only Xiao Wu herself knew that if her identity as a Soul Beast had not been at risk of exposure, how could she have left?

If she were not a Soul Beast but an ordinary person who no longer had to worry about her safety, then even if Tang San had truly been brainwashed by Yu Xiaogang, she would have stayed by his side and found a way to save him.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world...

The three women rode the carriage toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Shrek Academy.

Tang San had just finished cultivating and climbed down from the roof when he immediately saw the dejected Oscar.

Feeling somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Xiao Ao, what's with that expression?"

Hearing this, Oscar looked up and saw Tang San. He said tiredly,

"I don't know. This morning, Rongrong and the other two said they had some private girl matters to handle, so they took leave together."

"I showed concern for Rongrong, but it seemed like I offended her. Rongrong scolded me harshly and even kicked me."

"Took leave?"

Hearing this, Tang San immediately became wary. "What kind of leave?"

"Xiao Wu took leave too?"

"Yeah, the three of them together..." Oscar frowned.

Upon hearing that Xiao Wu had left, Tang San's mind instantly went blank.

"What exactly is going on? Why have Xiao Wu and the others seemed like completely different people these past few days!"

"When Ning Rongrong questioned Master's theories earlier, I already found it strange. Now all three of them have left altogether?"

"How could this be..."

Just then, Dai Mubai suddenly ran over from afar, holding up a letter.

"Xiao San, there's a letter here!"

"It seems to be from Xiao Wu. I found it outside your dormitory."

"Xiao Wu's letter!"

Tang San hurriedly rushed over and took the envelope.

By coincidence, because the three women had all taken leave at once, the others also found it unusual. Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, and Flender all came over.

Yu Xiaogang had already heard about it from Flender and had been berating him all the way there.

"Something this serious, and you didn't even tell me!"

"Flender, do you still see me as your brother?"

Flender apologized as he walked. "Xiao Gang, I didn't do it on purpose. Ning Rongrong used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to threaten me."

"And she repeatedly assured me that they were only going out to handle private matters. I thought it might be one of those girl things, so it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse."

"Three students leaving at the same time—any idiot could see that something was wrong!"

Yu Xiaogang cursed Flender for failing to meet expectations. At the same time, the teachers had already reached Tang San and the others.

They had come to ask about the situation and see whether Tang San and the others knew anything.

Unexpectedly, they happened to see the letter in Tang San's hand. Yu Xiaogang immediately spoke.

"Xiao San, you already know about Xiao Wu and the others leaving?"

"Just now, we heard Mubai say that Xiao Wu left this for you?"

Tang San was equally confused, but his expression was solemn. "Yes, the writing on the envelope is Xiao Wu's."

"Teacher, Dean, what exactly happened?"

Yu Xiaogang explained, "This morning, Ning Rongrong represented the three women and went to Flender to ask for a day of leave, saying they had private matters to attend to."

"Flender failed to notice anything suspicious, so he agreed."

"But unexpectedly, the three seemed to have planned it long ago. They had even prepared a carriage. The moment they obtained leave, they departed without stopping, as though something was wrong."

"We came here because we wanted to ask whether you knew anything."

"Now, it seems Xiao Wu did not even say goodbye to you..."

Hearing that last sentence, Tang San's expression immediately darkened.

"What could be so urgent that Xiao Wu didn't even tell me?"

"Could it be that I'm not worthy of her trust? I'm her older brother!"

Yu Xiaogang frowned, also feeling that Xiao Wu was being rather thoughtless. He said,

"Xiao San, look at what the letter says first."

Tang San quickly opened the envelope, and everyone looked at the letter's contents together.

Unexpectedly, the very first words that met their eyes were a farewell.

[Brother, by the time you read this letter, I'm afraid I will have already left Shrek.]

[Actually, we did not merely take leave. We truly left Shrek. From now on, consider us withdrawn from school...]

[I'm sorry. I did not mean to hide it from you, but for certain reasons, I could not say goodbye to you.]

[Brother, the things I said to you the day before were not meant to argue with you. I only wanted to save you.]

[Yu Xiaogang is not someone you can rely on. I'm afraid you already know that those theories of his were stolen, which is why you became so angry when I mentioned it the day before.]

[Brother, I cannot understand what kind of bewitching potion Yu Xiaogang fed you to make you defend him so fiercely. Even knowing that his things were stolen, you still made excuses for him...]

[I truly wonder whether I am more important in your heart, or Yu Xiaogang is. Do you remember what you told me back then? Perhaps it can no longer come true.]

[But before that, I still want to tell you: never trust Yu Xiaogang. Even I can now point out countless problems in his theories, such as...]

The contents of the letter were written entirely in Xiao Wu's voice, neither overly sentimental nor deliberately dramatic.

Its central theme was farewell, while also exposing Yu Xiaogang's problems to Tang San.

By the end, most of the letter pointed out flaws in Yu Xiaogang's theories, followed by a final farewell.

Throughout the entire letter, Xiao Wu never mentioned where she was going, because she feared that someone else might see it.

But after reading it, Tang San felt as though the sky had fallen.

Only then did he realize that the thief Xiao Wu had spoken of two days ago—the person who took others' achievements—was not him, but Yu Xiaogang!
