Yu Xiaogang's Method for Dealing with Evil Fire! Treasure Hunt Underway!

Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing had already returned after finishing their evening classes.

Watching Zhu Zhuqing, who had ignored him all day, Dai Mubai finally snapped, "Zhu Zhuqing, don't push your luck! I've already turned over a new leaf, what more do you want!"

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Dai Mubai, her expression cold and indifferent. A flash of disappointment crossed her eyes, but she maintained the demeanor of an ice queen and walked away without a word.

"You!!!"

Dai Mubai was furious, his soul power surging around him. He felt the urge to lash out at her.

"Boss, since when did you become so devoted? I've never seen you act like this over a girl before. Is it just your desire to conquer acting up?" Ma Hongjun teased with a playful smirk.

"Get lost!" Still fuming, Dai Mubai slapped him across the head, making Ma Hongjun's scalp tingle.

"I didn't even make you angry, why hit me?" Ma Hongjun whined.

"I don't hit the diligent or the lazy, I only hit the blind." Dai Mubai snorted and turned to leave.

"Boss, where are you going? Master has a class tomorrow!" Ma Hongjun asked in surprise.

Dai Mubai didn't say a word, walking away without looking back.

"Forget it, stop provoking him." Oscar sighed and walked into the academy.

Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes, glanced at Oscar's retreating back with a mischievous grin, and then chased after Dai Mubai.

Oscar noticed this but didn't intervene. He hadn't gone far when he saw Yu Xiaogang and Flender appearing on the path ahead.

Oscar paused, "Dean, Master."

The two men stood with their hands behind their backs and nodded slightly.

Flender frowned and asked, "Oscar, why are only you and Zhu Zhuqing back? Where are Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun? And didn't Ning Rongrong return?"

Hearing this, Oscar felt a headache coming on, "Dean, Mubai and Hongjun had some urgent business and went out again. I don't know where they went. As for Ning Rongrong, I have no idea."

Flender's brows locked tight. He took a deep breath and waved his hand, "You go back first."

"Yes!" Oscar hurried away.

Flender sighed, "We're doomed!"

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly and said calmly, "You were too harsh. You only beat them without offering any incentive."

Flender's mouth twitched, "What's the point of saying that now!"

Yu Xiaogang glared at him, "We don't have many students to begin with, and after finally getting two new ones, you drove one of them away!"

"Fine, fine! My fault, my fault! Just let it go!" Flender immediately begged for mercy.

"And Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are completely out of line! You've spoiled them rotten!" Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice.

"Hongjun is probably suffering from his evil fire flare-up..." Flender said, feeling very guilty.

"Although... it's better to guide than to block, this can't go on! I'm worried that the evil fire within Ma Hongjun will grow stronger until it burns him to death!" Yu Xiaogang said sternly.

"But... this is the only way for Hongjun right now!" Flender said, feeling both awkward and anxious.

"If only Hongjun could find a female partner with a powerful ice attribute, that would be ideal," Yu Xiaogang mused.

"That's easier said than done." Flender's mouth twitched. He knew Ma Hongjun's character all too well; what powerful ice-attribute soul master would ever take a liking to him? She'd have to be blind!

Even if it were him, he wouldn't want to...

Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "What I just mentioned is the best solution. Currently, the most feasible approach is to find a water or ice-attribute soul master who can suppress the evil fire in Hongjun's body using their soul power."

Flender thought for a moment, "Skywater Academy is full of water and ice-attribute soul masters, and they're all women. What do you think... should we take Hongjun to Skywater Academy and try our luck? Maybe someone there will like his type!"

Yu Xiaogang replied, "That's not impossible."

Flender immediately asked, "Then... what about Ning Rongrong? Should we go look for her?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, "No need. If she wants to come back, she will. Besides, Suotuo City is so big, where would you even start looking?"

With that, Yu Xiaogang turned and left.

Seeing this, Flender couldn't help but sigh.

The next day, the sun was high.

Tang Yin, still hungover, slowly opened his eyes. He hadn't used his soul power to purge the alcohol, so he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"This is..."

Tang Yin looked at the two fair arms and long, slender legs draped over him. He looked left and right at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, took a deep breath, and slowly sat up.

Although their clothes were a bit disheveled, fortunately, they were still on.

After quietly getting out of bed and adjusting their sleeping positions, Tang Yin walked into the bathroom.

"Alcohol is something I really need to drink less of..." Tang Yin covered his forehead, enduring the rush of hot water.

He had actually been drunk under the table by two girls; it was truly embarrassing...

Not long after, Tang Yin changed into fresh clothes, left the room, and pulled the door shut behind him.

Before much time had passed, he returned, though this time he held two bowls of hangover soup.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu~"

Tang Yin gently pulled Xiao Wu into his arms, channeling his soul power into her body.

Wisps of alcohol-scented vapor began to emerge from the surface of Xiao Wu's skin.

Xiao Wu let out a soft "mm" and slowly opened her eyes.

"Xiao Wu, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Tang Yin asked softly.

"I'm okay~ just a bit thirsty~" Xiao Wu smacked her lips, licking her dry mouth.

"Drink some soup, here~" Tang Yin took one of the bowls and stirred it with a spoon.

"How much did we actually drink last night?" Xiao Wu noticed Ning Rongrong sleeping on the same bed, rubbing her temples as she tried to recall the events of the previous night.

"I'd never seen you drink before, I didn't expect you to have such a high tolerance. You even drank me under the table," Tang Yin teased with a playful smile.

"Hehe~" Xiao Wu laughed sheepishly.

After feeding Xiao Wu the soup, Tang Yin used the same method to wake Ning Rongrong.

The moment Ning Rongrong opened her eyes, Tang Yin's face was the first thing she saw: "Tang Yin?"

Tang Yin smiled: "It's me, hurry up and drink this bowl of hangover soup."

Ning Rongrong slowly sat up, sipping the soup while glancing around the room with a dazed expression: "I remember helping you into the room with Xiao Wu last night, but then I went back to my own room! How did I end up here with you two?"

Tang Yin chuckled: "You're not just here with us, you even slept in the same bed."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened slightly. Noticing her disheveled clothes, she panicked, stuttering: "I... you, you didn't do anything to me, did you?"

Tang Yin shook his head: "People generally don't have much mobility when they're asleep."

"What a pity~" Ning Rongrong muttered under her breath.

"What did you say?" Tang Yin asked, confused, instinctively leaning his ear in to listen.

"N-nothing..." Ning Rongrong blushed in embarrassment, secretly scolding herself for being shameless.

Just then, Xiao Wu walked out of the bathroom, having already changed into new clothes.

"Rongrong, are you feeling better?"

Bonding over drinks wasn't just for the boys; it worked just as well for girls.

Especially with someone as straightforward as Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

"I feel much better after the soup," Ning Rongrong nodded with a smile.

"That's good~" Xiao Wu smiled, then pulled a wooden comb from her storage Soul Tool and handed it to Tang Yin: "Tang Yin, comb my hair~"

Tang Yin gladly obliged.

Watching them from the vanity, looking like a pair of celestial lovers, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.

At that moment, Xiao Wu asked: "Rongrong, have you thought about what you're going to do next?"

"Why don't I just go to the Suotuo Intermediate Soul Master Academy with you guys? It's all the same wherever I study!" Ning Rongrong suggested with a grin.

Tang Yin frowned: "No."

"Why?" Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong asked in unison.

"Uh..." Faced with their gazes, Tang Yin rolled his eyes and laughed: "Rongrong, you won't be used to things where we are."

Ning Rongrong said seriously: "I can get used to it."

Xiao Wu also grew suspicious; after all, while the environment at the Suotuo Intermediate Soul Master Academy was decent, compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it was like comparing the earth to the heavens.

"I really can adapt!" Faced with Xiao Wu's skeptical look, Ning Rongrong promised once again.

Tang Yin scratched his cheek and said nothing more. Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong, still half-doubting.

"Just wait and see!" Ning Rongrong declared confidently before hopping off the bed and heading toward the bathroom.

Outside Shrek Academy.

Tang Yin arrived once again, accompanied by Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.

At the same time, he used his Blue Silver Domain to mask their presence; unless Flender and the others appeared directly in front of him, they would be unable to sense him.

However, Tang Yin could peer through the Blue Silver Domain to observe everything inside Shrek Academy.

At this moment, inside the academy, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back in front of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing, his brows locked in a deep frown.

Especially when he saw the pale faces and unsteady posture of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, a flash of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

"Where did you two go last night!"

Dai Mubai looked away with an impatient expression, knowing he was in the wrong but unwilling to engage with Yu Xiaogang.

Ma Hongjun lowered his head, feeling guilty.

Seeing this, Flender was instantly incensed and wanted to give the two of them a good scolding.

But just then, Oscar came running from not far away, shouting excitedly, "Dean! Grandmaster! I've broken through to level thirty!"

"Why are we here?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise.

"Treasure hunting~" Xiao Wu said with an excited laugh.

"Huh? Treasure hunting?" Ning Rongrong looked bewildered.

"Let's head back today and come again tomorrow," Tang Yin said, turning to leave.

Xiao Wu hurried to keep up.

Ning Rongrong was completely baffled, following the two of them with a blank expression.

On the way.

Ning Rongrong asked about the situation, but Tang Yin brushed her off every time.

Yu Xiaogang has been here for two years now, yet these three don't seem to have changed much, and Oscar has only just broken through to level thirty. Since that's the case, I'll come back tomorrow, Tang Yin thought to himself.
