Tang San, Did You Do It on Purpose or by Accident?

Everyone except Ye Lin, who already knew, stared at Tang San in shock.

Dai Mubai clenched both fists until his knuckles cracked, wishing he could hang Tang San up and beat him right there!

Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée!

Tang San had actually tried to steal her from him!

Oscar also glared at Tang San, resentment in his eyes. He knew Oscar liked Ning Rongrong, yet he'd still barged into her dorm room?

What was he thinking?

"Shrek Academy's rules strictly forbid boys from harassing girls. Something this serious won't be let off lightly!"

Zhao Wuji tried to comfort Ning Rongrong, but even he felt a headache coming on.

Tang San was Tang Hao's son, while Ning Rongrong was a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This was a difficult situation to handle.

"Tang San, did you enter the girls' dormitory on purpose, or was it an accident?"

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly spoke up in his student's defense.

As long as Tang San cooperated and said it had been an accident, then with his severe injuries on top of that, it would be easy to smooth things over today.

Tang San shakily pushed himself up from the ground. His vision was still completely white, though he could just barely make out a few blurry silhouettes.

He wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but it was clear that his adoptive father was trying to help him.

[Tang San's voice rang out: "I entered the girls' dormitory by accident."]

Ye Lin's lips curled upward as she silently added two words.

Tang San's voice rang out: "I deliberately entered the girls' dormitory by accident."

Yu Xiaogang smiled smugly. "See? I told you my godson deliberately went in by accident..."

He hadn't even finished speaking when he froze in place. Only then did he realize that Tang San had said he'd done it deliberately by accident!

"Fine!"

"San Gui, you sure have some nerve!"

Ten tiger claws sprang from Dai Mubai's hands. "We'll have to find a chance to have a proper spar."

"It was an accident! I didn't mean to!"

Tang San finally realized he'd misspoken and hurriedly corrected himself.

Ning Rongrong began to sob, tears pattering down her cheeks.

"Teacher Zhao, Dean, what should we do?"

"I was almost seen naked by Tang San!"

"Zhuqing and I almost lost our good names. How can we face anyone after this?"

"Rongrong," Oscar hurried forward to comfort Ning Rongrong. "Don't worry. The dean definitely won't let Tang San off lightly."

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, merely fixing Tang San with a cold stare.

The pressure was on Flender.

Yu Xiaogang shouted at Flender.

"Flender, I'm telling you, think this through!"

"Shut up!"

Flender showed him no courtesy whatsoever. There was no longer any friendship between them.

"Tuition at Shrek Academy is one hundred Gold Soul Coins. Tang San can pay another hundred Gold Soul Coins and re-enroll after being expelled."

"Tang San won't eat today, and he won't be allowed to use his Soul Power. He'll run around Shrek Academy all day, until sunset."

Flender quickly announced the punishment.

It was no small punishment; it was severe corporal punishment.

"Rongrong, what do you think?"

Ning Rongrong said nothing, only lowering her head in silence. Zhu Zhuqing likewise offered no opinion and returned to the dormitory.

"Since no one objects, that's what we'll do."

"Dean, I object."

"Hmm?"

Flender frowned and looked toward the person who had spoken. It was Tang San?

Neither of them had objected. What did he have to complain about?

If not for Tang Hao's request, he would have expelled Tang San today.

With such poor character, if he ever amounted to anything, he'd only become a menace to society.

He looked Tang San up and down, lingering on his right leg for a moment. He didn't see anything wrong with it; it didn't look injured. So the person who'd attacked him last night and escaped from the third floor probably wasn't Tang San.

Tang San strained to open his eyes, trying to make Flender's silhouette clearer.

"Dean, isn't a hundred Gold Soul Coins a little too much?"

He was completely out of money. In fact, he had exactly one hundred Gold Soul Coins left.

After breaking his leg last night, he'd hurried to Suotuo City First People's Hospital. He'd paid the doctor extra to get it treated as quickly as possible, leaving him with only one hundred Gold Soul Coins.

If he handed those over, he'd be left without a single coin.

"If you don't want to pay the fine, you can leave."

Flender's expression was impassive.

"You deliberately entered the girls' dormitory by accident, and now you think I'm being too harsh?"

Flender dropped the remark and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

Flender suppressed his anger and looked toward the second person to speak.

Tang San's adoptive father, Yu Xiaogang!

"What do you want?"

"Tang San won't be able to hold up if he doesn't eat. You have to let him eat!"

Yu Xiaogang once again pleaded on behalf of his godson, Tang San.

"Don't forget whose son Tang San is!"

Flender knew what Yu Xiaogang meant. He wasn't referring to Tang San being Yu Xiaogang's godson, but to him being Tang Hao's son.

He turned and walked away.

"Fine. I'll make an exception."

"At most,"

"One breakfast."

Yu Xiaogang spoke up again.

"And lunch!"

Flender didn't turn around. He kept walking, his back the only answer.

"Keep bargaining and I'll kick you out!"

"I'll kick both of you out!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his left fist and glared at Flender's departing figure, silently thinking,

"Little San will prove everything to me in the end!"

The farce finally came to an end, and everyone went about their own business.

"Little San, come on. I'll take you to get treated."

Yu Xiaogang led Tang San toward his room.

"Lin-jie, Tang San didn't go into your room, did he?"

Ma Hongjun suddenly called out to Ye Lin.

Ye Lin looked at Ma Hongjun strangely. Ever since she'd beaten him up on the first day they met, he'd been acting a little odd.

At first, she'd thought Ma Hongjun held a grudge against her, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Xiao Wu took Ye Lin by the arm and gave Ma Hongjun a teasing smile.

"If Tang San had gone into our room, he wouldn't have gotten off so easily."

"Lin-jie knows the Dream Sword Dance."

"Little fatty, we never lock our door. You can try it sometime."

Ma Hongjun swallowed and shook his head frantically.

"No, no. I'm not that kind of person like Tang San."

Ye Lin and Xiao Wu didn't linger and quickly left.

"What is it, Fatty? Got your eye on someone?"

Dai Mubai hooked an arm around Ma Hongjun's shoulder.

"Your big brother's advice: give up on that idea."

"Ye Lin isn't someone you can win over. I can tell she has no interest in men."

Ma Hongjun's eyes suddenly widened. "Only women, then!"

Dai Mubai slapped him.

"What are you thinking?"

"I meant she isn't interested in that sort of thing."

"Doomed to die alone?"
