How Dai Huabin Comforted Wang Dong'er with a Head Pat, and the Sun Moon Team's Intelligence

Ma Xiaotao's words were like lighting a powder keg. Xiao Hongchen's face turned ashen with anger, and his Soul Power seemed poised to explode.

Just as the two sides were about to clash at the hotel entrance, Zhang Lexuan stepped out at the opportune moment.

She didn't need to deliberately release her Soul Power; simply standing there, the aura of the Inner Academy's Grandmaster naturally emanated from her.

She spoke in a rather flat tone:

"Alright, let's go back. There's no point in arguing here. Let's see who's the best on the field."

When Zhang Lexuan spoke, the Shrek members naturally obeyed.

Dai Huabin nodded slightly to Meng Hongchen, then turned around and led the large group of beautiful women into the lobby of the Star Emperor Hotel.

Xiao Hongchen stood there, watching the backs of the Shrek Academy members, grinding his teeth in anger.

Meng Hongchen stared thoughtfully at Dai Huabin's broad back, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. She prepared to find someone to inquire about Dai Huabin; this man was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

After entering the hotel lobby, Zhang Lexuan led everyone directly to the conference room on the top floor.

"Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest to get ready."

Zhang Lexuan stood in front of the long table and looked around at everyone.

"Everyone, assemble here at 9:00 AM tomorrow for our pre-match practice. Huabin, think about the starting lineup for the main match tonight, and we'll discuss it then."

"Yes, Grandmaster." Dai Huabin nodded in agreement.

The meeting adjourned, and everyone returned to their rooms.

As soon as Dai Huabin reached the door of his room, he felt several resentful eyes staring intently at him from behind.

He turned around and saw Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Cui Yajie, and others standing not far away, their eyes filled with resentment.

Wang Dong'er crossed her arms and spoke in a sour tone:

"Oh, beautiful girl. Captain Dai's flirting skills are much faster than your cultivation speed."

Cui Yajie covered her mouth and chuckled to herself. The alluring charm inherent in her Nine-Tailed Fox Martial Soul made her look like a little fox watching a show.

Xiao Xiao then tugged at Wang Dong'er's sleeve and chimed in:

"Exactly, they're from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, Huabin, wouldn't you call this treason?"

Faced with this three-way trial-like situation, Dai Huabin felt somewhat helpless.

He took two steps forward and came directly in front of Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er subconsciously took half a step back, still trying to sound tough:

"What? You're trying to silence me after being exposed?"

Dai Huabin didn't say anything, but raised his hand and placed his palm directly on Wang Dong'er's head, rubbing it lightly a couple of times.

"Alright, Dong'er, you're being way too jealous."

Dai Huabin withdrew his hand, his tone relaxed.

"I just wanted to annoy that Xiao Hongchen. The best way to deal with that narcissist is to ignore him in front of him and then praise his sister. Look at his face just now, it was so green it was almost as green as a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise."

Wang Dong'er was taken aback by his sudden action.

The warmth of her palms still lingered on her head. She felt her cheeks suddenly burn, and even the roots of her ears turned a light red.

Why is Huabin suddenly making such intimate gestures?

She muttered to herself, hurriedly tidying her disheveled hair, and glared fiercely at Dai Huabin:

"Who... who's jealous! Stop trying to make yourself look good. I just can't stand your playboy attitude."

"Yes, yes, you're not jealous."

Dai Huabin continued speaking, turning to look at Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie.

"Alright, everyone's tired today, go back to your rooms and rest. We have a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the starting lineup, don't be late."

Cui Yajie winked at Dai Huabin: "Okay, Captain. Go and keep Lulu."

Zhu Lu had been standing quietly behind Dai Huabin, smiled upon hearing this. She stepped forward and naturally took Dai Huabin's arm.

"Let's go," Zhu Lu said softly.

Dai Huabin nodded and, with Zhu Lu in tow, swiped the room card to open the deluxe king-size bed room at the end of the corridor.

"Bang."

The door closed.

Wang Dong'er stared at the tightly closed door, her molars grinding together.

"Still looking? Everyone's already inside."

Xiao Xiao waved her hand in front of Wang Dong'er's eyes, her tone full of teasing.

"Xiao Xiao, you're not the same either..." Wang Dong'er looked at Xiao Xiao with annoyance, then turned and strode towards their three-person room.

Back in her room, Wang Dong'er collapsed onto the soft bed and buried her face in the pillow.

Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie followed them in and closed the door behind them.

Cui Yajie walked to the bedside and reached out to poke Wang Dong'er's lower back:

"Dong'er, your face was as red as a ripe apple just now. Did Dai Huabin touch your head and you lost your mind?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Wang Dong'er suddenly rolled over, stubbornly refusing to admit it.

"It's hot! This awful weather in Star Luo City is unbearably hot!"

Xiao Xiao sat down on another bed, swinging her legs:

"Is it hot? The room is clearly heated by Soul Tool. Sigh, Huabin is becoming more and more like a captain. Even that level 72 Wu Ming, is completely under his thumb. Dong'er, if you don't hurry up, you might really miss your chance."

"What am I holding on to? I don't like that womanizer at all!"

Wang Dong'er grabbed a cushion and hugged it to her chest, but the image of Dai Huabin stroking her hair just now involuntarily floated into her mind.

That guy has pretty big hands.

On the other side, in the area on the other side of the Star Emperor Hotel.

The atmosphere in the conference room of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy was somewhat somber.

Teacher Elder Ma, who was leading the team, sat at the head of the long table, flipping through a thick stack of intelligence documents.

Xiao Hongchen sat to the side with his legs crossed, toying with a gold coin in his hand, his face still looking very unpleasant.

He couldn't swallow the insults he received from the Shrek group at the hotel entrance.

Meng Hongchen sat next to him, trimming her nails with a small file, her expression quite calm.

"Shrek Academy's lineup this time is a bit strange."

Elder Ma put down the documents, his brows slightly furrowed.

"This Reserve Team is entirely composed of second-year students!"

"All of them are second-year students?"

Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly.

"Elder Ma, Shrek's decision to promote Dai Huabin as the Reserve Team captain is utterly ridiculous. How can a second-year student be qualified to be a captain?"

He slammed the gold coins heavily on the table:

"What kind of class is this? He's a captain just like me. I think Shrek really has no one else left, so they can only use this kind of spoiled brat to save face."

Meng Hongchen stopped what she was doing and looked at Xiao Hongchen with a helpless expression.

"Brother, you'd better stop looking so smug."

Meng Hongchen opened a document in front of her and pushed it in front of Xiao Hongchen.

"Take a closer look. This Dai Huabin is the second son of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire."

The black-haired girl next to him, who hadn't said much, was Zhu Lu, the eldest daughter of the Nether Duke in the Star Luo Empire. The Dai Family and Zhu Family had been linked by marriage for generations.

Meng Hongchen tapped the document with her fingertip. "You don't know what this means, do you?"

Xiao Hongchen glanced at the documents and curled his lip.

"It's just Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Hell White Tiger. What's so special about it?"

"What's so great about it?"

Meng Hongchen asked in return,

"Shrek Academy could not have made him the captain of the Reserve Team just because he has a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Didn't you feel it at the door just now?

The composure he exudes when he's with you isn't feigned. It's a state of mind that only someone truly confident possesses.

"Confidence? His confidence comes from the group of women around him?" Xiao Hongchen retorted dismissively.

Elder Ma tapped the table with his finger, interrupting the siblings' argument.

"Meng Hongchen is right, Xiao Hongchen, you need to change your personality. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone against Shrek."

Elder Ma's tone became a bit stern.

"According to information relayed from our sources within Star Luo City, Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire is also very interested in Dai Huabin, which shows that he is not as simple as the information suggests."

Elder Ma paused for a moment, then continued:

"Furthermore, those Inner Academy disciples from Shrek —that red-haired Ma Xiaotao, and the other two women—all possess unfathomable cultivation levels. When the tournament opens, Shrek will definitely send someone to establish their authority. We need to carefully observe their strength."

Xiao Hongchen leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped behind his head:

"Alright, Elder Ma, I understand. I want to see just how much this Dai Huabin is really made of. If he runs into me on the field, I guarantee I'll beat him so badly that even his many female admirers won't recognize him."

Looking at her brother's arrogant demeanor, Meng Hongchen shook her head helplessly.

For some reason, the image of Dai Huabin asking her at the hotel entrance, "Who do you think is more handsome, him or me?" suddenly flashed through her mind.

That guy is quite interesting.
