Xiao Wu's face turned as pale as paper upon seeing these words.
As a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast in human form, she was most sensitive to the plight of soul beasts.
If Tang San truly was the type of person who viewed soul beasts as mere weeds while forcing himself to stand on a moral pedestal, then what did her companionship over these years amount to?
Qin Feng's messages did not stop, striking the hearts of everyone present like a rapid-fire barrage.
[Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People]: "And then there is his conduct."
"If someone else even accidentally takes a piece of his ordinary iron, he will hold a grudge for a lifetime, waiting for the right opportunity to use his hidden weapons to ensure they meet their end."
"Yet, when he goes to rob the Dugu family of their supreme immortal herbs and occupies their Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he calls it 'making the best use of everything' and 'not letting heaven's gifts go to waste'!"
"He allows himself to kill and plunder, but absolutely forbids anyone else from taking even a needle or a thread from him."
"When he sees people from Spirit Hall, he deems them evil and demonic without rhyme or reason, insisting they must be eradicated. He should take a look at those poison-coated hidden weapons in his own hands and see if they are in any way worthy of the words 'upright and honorable'!"
"You actually think someone this selfish, double-standard, and full of hypocritical moralizing is righteous?"
A deathly silence fell over the Chat Group.
Everyone was stunned by this frenzied bombardment.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her gaze toward Qin Feng filled with a newfound, genuine awe.
"This Tang San is nothing but a thorough hypocrite!"
Qin Feng leaned back against the master chair, his demeanor remaining relaxed.
"A hypocrite isn't scary; what's scary is that he truly considers himself the most righteous person in the world, treating everyone who submits to him as a tool and defining everyone who opposes him as evil."
Outside the Sunset Forest.
Xiao Wu's hand suddenly went limp.
With a bang, the water canteen hit the ground, splashing clear water and mud in all directions.
She looked down at the unconscious, bruised, and purple-faced Tang San.
Her mind replayed his gentle smiles and the vows of eternal love he had made to her.
Stealing secret manuals was considered a matter of course.
Seizing others' treasures was considered making the best use of resources.
He even wore two different faces when dealing with soul beasts.
Every single instance struck her heart like a ten-thousand-pound hammer.
Tears welled up in her eyes, uncontrollable.
So, the Third Brother she had always relied on and trusted was actually such a skin-crawling, double-standard monster.
At the foot of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The night was deep, and a cold wind whistled through the bare tree trunks.
The group from Shrek Academy walked down the winding mountain road, every face etched with embarrassment and dejection.
Flender, walking at the very front, hung his head in defeat, his eyes rimmed with red.
The academy he took such pride in had just fallen apart like this. He had thought he could find a good place for the children, only to be chased out like beggars.
In the middle of the group, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun supported each other.
Their faces were frighteningly pale, and their bodies were wrapped in thick bandages; every slight movement made them wince in pain.
Tang San, walking at the back, was equally weak.
Having been kicked flying by Dugu Bo on the mountain, he had managed to keep his life, but his internal organs were in turmoil.
The atmosphere in the group was stifling to the extreme.
"Damn it, those bastards at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
Dai Mubai could not swallow this insult and stopped to curse loudly.
The violent emotion aggravated the injuries on his chest, and he immediately began to cough violently, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Ma Hongjun chimed in, his eyes filled with venom.
"Exactly, what kind of bullshit nobles! What kind of skill is it to bully us just because they have power? One day, I'll roast them all!"
Zhao Wuji scratched his hair in frustration and let out a heavy sigh.
"Enough, enough, both of you, say less. We don't even have a place to stay now; what's the point of this nonsense?"
Yu Xiaogang stopped, his hands behind his back and his face stern.
Always priding himself on his high status, he was now just as disheveled as the rest.
Yet, he still forced himself to maintain the air of a Grandmaster and cleared his throat.
"Flender, heaven never closes all doors."
"I have thought about it carefully; Heaven Dou City is not home to only this one high-level spirit master academy."
"There is a place called Blue Lightning Academy that has always only recruited civilian spirit masters, and its reputation is quite good. With the aptitude of our Shrek children, they would definitely be able to shine brilliantly there."
Flender's eyes brightened slightly upon hearing these words.
They were indeed at a dead end right now, and having a place to settle down would be for the best, so he nodded and agreed immediately.
Moreover, there was an acquaintance at Blue Lightning Academy.
At the end of the line, the three girls—Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing—deliberately kept some distance.
Xiao Wu twisted the corner of her clothes, her palms slick with cold sweat.
Her gaze was fixed tightly on the thin back of Yu Xiaogang ahead, then she glanced at Tang San beside her, whose face was full of hypocritical grief and indignation.
The words the Group Leader had just spoken in the Chat Group echoed frantically in her mind.
A strong sense of dissonance made her feel like she could barely breathe.
Ning Rongrong noticed Xiao Wu's abnormality and gently tugged at her sleeve.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Your face looks so pale."
Xiao Wu did not make a sound; she only summoned the Chat Group light screen with trembling hands.
Just a moment ago, a new message had popped up from the flashing nickname of the Group Leader.
[Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People]: "The Shrek bunch should have been kicked out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy by now."
"If I'm not mistaken, that Yu Xiaogang, who calls himself Grandmaster, has already proposed taking them to Blue Lightning Academy, hasn't he?"
As soon as this message popped up, the three girls walking at the back gasped in unison.
Zhu Zhuqing's clear eyes widened abruptly, and her footsteps came to an instant halt.
Ning Rongrong was so surprised that she covered her small mouth, her heart pounding wildly.
Spot on!
Without a single wasted word, the course of events was exactly as the Group Leader had predicted!
Xiao Wu held the virtual light screen with both hands, her breathing becoming extremely rapid.
Clenching her teeth tightly, her fingers tapped rapidly on the screen.
[Bunny Eats Radish]: "How... how do you know? Do you have any proof?"
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's East Palace.
Qin Feng looked at the message Xiao Wu sent in the group and let out a scoff as he leaned back in his grand armchair.
Setting down his teacup, Qin Feng moved his mind and continued typing in the group.
[Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People]: "Going to Blue Lightning Academy itself isn't the problem. The problem is that Yu Xiaogang's true motive is disgusting."
"On the surface, he uses the pretext of finding a good path for his students, but in reality, he has long known the background of this Blue Lightning Academy."
"He isn't going there to seek knowledge or teach; he is taking this group of stragglers there to sponge off someone else. What's even more disgusting is that he intends to seize the academy that others worked so hard to build!"
[Pope]: "Sponge off someone? Seize the academy? Has that trash Yu Xiaogang really fallen to such a degree?"
