When You See Injustice, Take a Detour

Bai Yu looked at the three girls who had followed him into the room. Sitting in a chair, he began questioning them.

"Tell me. What happened?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked awful, but she said nothing. Xiao Wu, on the other hand, spoke with indignation.

"That lecherous tiger came looking for Zhu Qing and wanted her to go out with him. He said he wanted to apologize to her, but Zhu Qing didn't want to go, so he tried to drag her away by force."

"Rong Rong only teased him a little from the side, yet he actually attacked her! We should've crippled him just now!"

"What did you say?" Bai Yu asked Ning Rongrong curiously.

After Bai Yu arrived, Ning Rongrong was actually the first to calm down. A flash of hatred passed through her eyes as she spoke.

"I said, Zhu Qing was so unwilling to go with you—could it be that you abandoned her before and ran off to enjoy yourself? Judging by his reaction, I must've been right!"

Bai Yu's expression turned strange, amusement flickering in his eyes. Weren't you stabbing him right in the heart and going straight for his weak spot?

"So what are you planning to do? Have your family deal with it?" Bai Yu looked at Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong waved her hand. "No need. That would be too embarrassing. Let's just let this matter go."

As Ning Rongrong spoke, she glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then looked at Bai Yu. Inwardly, she muttered darkly, You dared to hit me? Then I'll push Zhu Zhuqing toward someone you can't beat and see what you do!

Huh? Bai Yu's eyes widened. He truly found it hard to believe that Little Witch Ning Rongrong would say something like that. Then he shook his head.

"Forget it. No matter what you plan to do, as a Support System Soul Master, whenever you don't have powerful guards by your side, you must remember one thing!"

Bai Yu paused, and Ning Rongrong and the other two looked over curiously.

"When you see injustice, take a detour! The martial world is dangerous—if it doesn't work, retreat!"

"Huh?" Ning Rongrong and the others were full of question marks, wondering, Isn't something wrong with that saying?

Behind the house, the Soul Saint guard who had come over because Ning Rongrong had been struck also widened his eyes when he heard those words.

Then he nodded, finding them reasonable! He took out a small notebook and wrote them down, intending to submit them in his report later.

"Alright, since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Remember what I just said."

Ignoring the astonished trio, Bai Yu walked out of the room. He looked toward the Back Mountain, raised an eyebrow, then turned and went to find Flender.

"What? You're leaving again?"

Flender asked Bai Yu in surprise. He found it strange—hadn't he said he wasn't leaving? Why had he changed his mind again?

Facing Flender's question, Bai Yu shook his head. "Only for a few days. There's something I need to take care of."

When Flender heard that it would only be a few days, he calmed down and waved a hand dismissively.

"Then why did you come to see me, kid? Do you need my help? But you're even stronger than I am, so you shouldn't need it, right?"

Bai Yu laughed. "Haha, if I didn't say anything, you'd probably think I was gone for another year."

"By the way, where's Little Bai? Has he come to your place?"

The moment Flender heard that, his face darkened. He said irritably,

"Don't mention him. That fool has no brains at all—he dared to attack the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! I sent him off to clean the toilets!"

Then he lowered his head. "Sigh, whoever's coming to warn me will probably arrive soon. If that little girl decides to retaliate, it'll be hard to deal with. Just thinking about it makes me angry! Cleaning toilets was too light a punishment!"

Bai Yu chuckled. "Hehe, it's no big deal. I already asked—Ning Rongrong doesn't plan to send word home. Otherwise, the one coming would probably be a Title. Afterward, I can pick out a place with good feng shui for you."

Flender nearly failed to catch his breath. He glared at Bai Yu. "Get lost already! Stay away from me! Aren't you leaving? Hurry up!"

Bai Yu left Shrek Academy, took out a map and glanced over it, then drifted through the air in the direction of Nuoding City.

As he traveled, he pondered inwardly. Tsk, Scum took quite a blow today. Rat wouldn't take him to awaken his bloodline ahead of time, would he?

Whether he does or not, I have to intercept him. In the original story, when Rat took Scum to see Ah Yin, he said that place wasn't far from Holy Spirit Village. As long as it isn't far, I'll be able to sense it with my martial soul after searching around.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu's eye twitched, and he muttered,

"I hope it's true. When the time comes, I'll send Ah Yin back to Blue Silver Forest. Otherwise, if Scum really awakens, wouldn't that disgust me? I should warn that stupid grass first!"

Afterward, Bai Yu began writing in the Chronicle of Time again.

[There was a conflict between Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong at the academy just now. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing fought him. It was quite lively. I don't know whether it was because of me or whether their relationship had been bad from the beginning in their previous life.]

[Still, that's not bad. If their relationship is poor, it'll be easier. After all, I don't want to start a massacre in the end. As Tang San's teammates, those few have all helped him quite a lot. If they can't be separated, then I'll have no choice but to kill them!]

In Ning Rongrong's dormitory, the three girls stared wide-eyed at one another.

Ning Rongrong was the first to lose patience. "Why should I? I refuse to believe he'd dare kill me!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong, her face somewhat pale as she answered calmly.

"If what the Chronicle of Time says is true, then he would dare. Someone who dares oppose gods has no one he wouldn't dare kill! Besides, he once perished together with a god. No one knows what methods he has!"

Xiao Wu panicked. "Then should we run away quickly? I haven't gotten my revenge yet. I don't want to die like this!"

Ning Rongrong let out a breath and calmed down before speaking.

"It's fine. He hasn't planned to attack us yet. If he wanted to kill us, we'd already be dead. Hmph, at worst, we'll stay farther away from Tang San. If we run now, he might really start killing people. Why else would we flee for no reason?"

Zhu Zhuqing calmed down as well and nodded in response.

"That's right. Yesterday, he even asked whether I wanted to learn from him and said he could teach me how to become stronger. He probably just wants to separate us. Our identities are all extraordinary, after all. Killing us would bring him plenty of trouble too."

Xiao Wu was still flustered. "Then what am I supposed to do?"

Ning Rongrong rubbed her forehead and said,

"Are you stupid? Because of that Silver Dragon King, he never intended to kill you in the first place. As long as you don't stay close to Tang San anymore, he won't do anything to you!"

Bai Yu did not know what they were discussing. Even if he did, he would only smile smugly. He was still preparing to warn Ah Yin through the Chronicle of Time.

[However, a piece of information just now caught my attention. Tang San went to the Back Mountain, and Rat is there too. I wonder whether Rat will awaken his bloodline ahead of time because Tang San suffered a setback.]

[It wouldn't matter even if he awakened it, but it would still disgust me somewhat. So I plan to imitate the aura of a Spirit Beast and, in Di Tian's name, send Ah Yin back to her clan's territory. I'll warn her not to contact humans again, or I'll wipe out her entire bloodline!]

[It could also be considered repayment for what I owed in the previous life. After all, I killed Rat in that life, and she came looking for revenge. After I captured her... Ahem, although it was retaliation for Tang San hunting me down, I still feel a little sorry for her. What did a stupid blade of grass ever do wrong?]
