Bring on a Spicy Rabbit Head

Tang Hao finally stopped, not because he was tired, but because there was nothing he could do.

He fell to his knees!

The Clear Sky Douluo, who had once descended like a god and fought four opponents alone, was now kneeling on the ground, his body trembling.

It was like...

Missing you is a pain that breathes, living in every corner of me!

"Ah Yin... Ah Yin, I'm sorry..."

"I couldn't protect what was yours... I couldn't even protect the last thing you left for Little San..."

"I'm useless... useless..."

Tang Hao muttered to himself.

But his voice grew lower and hoarser, until it finally vanished into the wind.

The Blue Silver Grass on the back mountain continued to sway, its leaves still rustling.

As though offering comfort, or perhaps sighing.

Tang Hao knelt there for a long time. Only when the sun began to set did he slowly rise to his feet.

His eyes were still bloodshot, but that wild fury had faded.

In its place was something even more terrifying: a deathly calm.

Investigate!

He had to get to the bottom of this!

Even if he had to search the entire continent, he would find that thief.

No one could be allowed to defile Ah Yin's belongings.

Three days later.

Under the noon sun, Jiang Ming arrived at the gates of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

The reason he had waited several days before returning to the academy

was very simple.

The first thing Tang Hao, now without his wife, would definitely do was vent his rage in Holy Soul Village.

Once he had vented it and failed to find Old Wang next door in Holy Soul Village, he could only search elsewhere.

Before leaving, Tang Hao would certainly go see Tang San one last time.

So Jiang Ming waited three days.

Jiang Ming walked straight into Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

The gatekeeper neither asked questions nor said anything.

After all, the uniform he wore explained everything.

Jiang Ming had originally planned to go straight to the Academic Affairs Office and handle his withdrawal.

Withdrawing from the academy was not the most important matter.

There were some things in his dormitory that outsiders would not understand, but which could potentially cause trouble.

But when he reached the training grounds, Jiang Ming felt a little hungry.

"Since that's the case, I'll get something to eat first, then go handle my withdrawal."

Jiang Ming turned and headed toward the cafeteria.

It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few students in the cafeteria.

Jiang Ming casually picked a few dishes, carried his tray over to a secluded corner, and sat down.

He had just picked up his chopsticks when a commotion suddenly broke out at the cafeteria entrance.

Two figures walked in side by side.

They were Xiao Wu and Tang San.

Several work-study students followed behind them.

Jiang Ming took one glance before withdrawing his gaze.

He had no interest whatsoever in these so-called protagonists.

Jiang Ming had just been about to pick up a piece of beef from his plate.

A crisp yet arrogant voice rang out through the cafeteria.

"Listen up, everyone!"

"I'm reserving this area! You have ten breaths to move or leave."

"Don't make me call people out one by one. It won't look good for anyone."

Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and swept her gaze across the entire cafeteria from left to right.

"Sister Xiao Wu has spoken! Did you hear her? Move, move!"

"Hurry up! Sister Xiao Wu needs the space!"

"You over there, stop dawdling! Can't you see Brother Tang San is here too?"

The work-study students from Dorm Seven walked right up, staring fixedly at the students nearby.

The cafeteria students were clearly already used to such scenes.

No one resisted, no one said a word, and no one even looked up at Xiao Wu again. Every one of them chose to leave the cafeteria.

There was no helping it. They simply could not beat them.

Nuoding Academy had originally had several little tyrants, including Xiao Chenyu and his group.

But Xiao Wu had defeated those little tyrants, so she became the new little tyrant.

Once the cafeteria students had left, the work-study students got to work.

In just a few breaths, they had put together a large table in the center of the cafeteria.

"Sister Xiao Wu, what are we eating today? I'll go get it!"

"Yeah, yeah! The cafeteria beef has always been great. Want some?"

"Why not try rabbit meat? The spicy rabbit heads are incredible!"

Several work-study students chimed in one after another.

But someone quickly noticed that the cafeteria had not been completely cleared out.

Jiang Ming had not moved.

He sat in the most remote corner, still holding food between his chopsticks as he slowly brought it to his mouth.

Xiao Wu turned her head toward that corner, frowning.

It was not because Jiang Ming had done anything outrageous, but because of an instinct.

The cold-faced boy sitting in the corner made her uncomfortable.

More precisely, he made her feel as though her authority had been challenged.

Ever since she defeated Xiao Chenyu, no one in Nuoding Academy had dared treat her with such an attitude.

Whenever those students saw her, they either groveled or walked around her.

Not a single one had dared act like Jiang Ming, not even looking at her and treating her as though she were air.

Especially after she had just announced that everyone was to clear out.

The work-study students also noticed this discordant sight.

"I remember your name is Jiang Ming?"

"Classmate, didn't you hear Sister Xiao Wu? The cafeteria is reserved today. Please leave!"

Wang Sheng was the first to react. He strode over to Jiang Ming's table and rapped his finger against its surface.

Jiang Ming did not even raise his eyelids. He picked up another bite of food and put it into his mouth.

Wang Sheng's expression stiffened slightly as he looked back at Xiao Wu.

"I said it already. I've reserved the cafeteria! If you don't want trouble, leave now."

Xiao Wu stepped forward and came to Jiang Ming's table, looking down at him.

Her tone carried a matter-of-fact arrogance, as though she was not negotiating but giving an order.

The work-study students crowded around. Seven or eight of them stood behind Xiao Wu, glaring at Jiang Ming with unfriendly eyes.

Though they said nothing, their stance made their meaning clear.

Leave on his own, or be driven out.

Tang San stood nearby, his brows knitting slightly.

He did not particularly like Xiao Wu's habit of clearing people out at every turn, but he did not stop her either.

For one thing, he knew Xiao Wu's personality. Stopping her would be useless.

For another, he did not have a favorable impression of Jiang Ming.

This person had questioned Grandmaster in class!

Grandmaster had not intended to teach in the first place.

It was only because he had invited him that Grandmaster reluctantly agreed.

Such a rare opportunity, and not only did Jiang Ming fail to appreciate it, he had even publicly embarrassed Grandmaster.

Besides, he was Grandmaster's disciple.

If his teacher was insulted, then as his disciple, he naturally ought to stand up for him!

Jiang Ming finally set down his chopsticks.

His gaze swept over Xiao Wu, then over the work-study students behind her, before finally settling on Xiao Wu's face.

His eyes were calm, calm as a stagnant pool.

But both Xiao Wu and Tang San sensed what lay hidden within that gaze.

It was not anger, nor disgust, but a kind of condescension.

Like a fierce beast looking down on several ignorant cubs.

"The rules of this academy aren't yours to decide."

Jiang Ming's voice was not loud, but in the silent cafeteria, every person heard it clearly.

Dead silence.

The entire cafeteria seemed as though someone had pressed pause.

"What did you say, punk?"

"Sister Xiao Wu, teach him a lesson!"

"What the hell is this? He dares challenge Sister Xiao Wu?"

Several work-study students were about to rush forward, but Xiao Wu raised a hand and stopped them.
