"Mmgh!"
Flender and the other two hurriedly shook their heads, indicating they had no idea where he was. Clearly, they had never expected Yu Xiaogang to abandon them and run off on his own.
"Cough, cough!"
Qin Ming, who was lying on the ground nearby, began coughing and slowly opened his eyes.
"Where am I...?"
"Your Grace, Sword Douluo?!"
The moment he turned his gaze to the side, he saw Chen Xin standing before him. That distinctive mark allowed him to recognize the man at once.
"Yes, you're their teacher, aren't you? From the looks of it, you were knocked out protecting your students?"
"Not bad, young man. This old man approves of your attitude toward teaching."
Chen Xin nodded in approval of Qin Ming. Tang Hao was no insignificant nobody—he was the Clear Sky Douluo. Yet Qin Ming had still stepped forward to protect his students in that situation. That was what a real teacher should be like.
Not like some buzz-cut bastard...
"Thank you for your praise, Your Grace. By the way, where is Xiao Tian?"
Qin Ming hurriedly looked toward the site of the battle. Tang Hao had already left, while Yun Tian was surrounded by everyone as they worried over his injuries.
"I'm fine, don't worry. It's just that Xiao Wu..."
Yun Tian shook his head. He had never expected Xiao Wu to choose to sacrifice herself to him at the very end. But if things had dragged on any longer, Tang Hao might truly have gone mad and killed them all.
"Xiao Tian! How are you?!"
Qin Ming limped toward Yun Tian, his face filled with concern.
"Teacher Qin Ming, don't push yourself."
Ye Lingling summoned her Nine-Heart Begonia to heal him. The battle had not lasted long, so the area affected had naturally been limited.
"Teacher, thank you."
"Your Grace, Sword Douluo, thank you as well. If not for you, Yan Yan and the others and I might have..."
"Boy, Rongrong cares deeply about you, so naturally this old man had to lend a hand. But your ability to attract women really is... unique."
Chen Xin held his sword in both hands, and there was now a little more approval in his eyes as he looked at Yun Tian. He was neither servile nor arrogant, and he showed great respect toward his elders. And judging by the spear in his hand, he seemed to be an assault-type Soul Master?
He knew that as the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong's husband had to be a powerful assault-type Soul Master. Otherwise, how could he protect such an enormous sect?
Yun Tian was quite good in that regard. He had talent and character, and even his soul rings were terrifyingly well-configured.
As for having a few more women around him, that was nothing. Which powerful man did not have several wives and concubines? As long as Rongrong held a high position among them, it would be fine.
"Hehe, it's good that you're all right. As your teacher, it's only natural that I see my responsibilities through to the end."
Qin Ming answered with a smile. With students like these, he was naturally quite satisfied as their teacher.
With the matter settled, everyone prepared to leave.
"Um, Brother Yun Tian, can Rongrong join your Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Ning Rongrong's sudden question stunned everyone. Chen Xin said nothing; he had already been somewhat dissatisfied with Ning Fengzhi's decision.
Ning Fengzhi had said that Rongrong should gain more experience at Shrek Academy, but Chen Xin could not see any sign of her being tempered in the letters she had sent. All he saw was a little girl who had suffered grievances and was complaining to him.
"Uh, Miss Ning Rongrong, you are the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Joining us would naturally only take a word."
Qin Ming made his meaning clear. He could not make the decision on his own, since Ning Rongrong was a student of Shrek Academy. Agreeing directly would make it seem as though he were poaching their student.
"Ning Rongrong, you..."
"Hmph, what is it, Headmaster Flender? Didn't some White Tiger once say he'd rape me first, then kill me, then rape me again and kill me again?"
Ning Rongrong crossed her arms, her face calm, but Dai Mubai beside her felt a chill creep up from the soles of his feet.
A wave of cold shot straight to the top of his head.
"Boy, you really are brave, daring to say something like that! Hmm?!"
The hand Chen Xin held on the sword hilt had even bulged with veins, while waves of sword intent coiled around him.
Clang!
The sword swept out. The girls all shut their eyes, thinking that the Sword Douluo was about to kill Dai Mubai. But in the next instant—
"AAARGH!"
Dai Mubai clutched his crotch tightly as blood poured out in streams.
"Hiss!!"
Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others instinctively covered their own crotches. It was too miserable. Boss Dai's glorious reputation had been ruined when his instrument of crime was confiscated on the spot!
"Mubai!"
Flender and Zhao Wuji, both bruised and battered, shouted out, but neither dared look too closely at him. It was too frightening. If they had known, they should have reminded him not to spout nonsense.
Dai Mubai's expression was twisted in agony. His golden hair had lost all its luster as he rolled about on the ground, his loose hair flying around him like a madman.
It was gone!
The thing he had always been so proud of had been cut off entirely!
"This is your lesson. This old man feels that even cutting off that filthy thing would dirty my sword!"
Chen Xin's soul power surged, cleansing the blood from the blade before he sheathed it.
Perhaps it was just an illusion, but Yun Tian felt that the Sword Douluo seemed to have secretly glanced at him.
"You deserved it!"
There was no pity in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as she coldly watched everything unfold. Yet confusion began to rise in her heart as well. Where should she go from here?
"Flender, your academy certainly knows how to teach. One of your students actually dared speak to someone from my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect like that."
"S-Sorry, Your Grace, Sword Douluo. Mubai had drunk too much at the time."
"If he drank too much, then he should have gotten lost. Did you have to wait until this old man killed him before you'd be satisfied?"
Flender did not dare say anything more and could only nod repeatedly.
"Where's Tianheng?"
"Teacher Qin Ming, I saw him! That Grandmaster dragged him away!"
Yu Feng spoke up at the right moment. The situation had been chaotic, but he had still clearly seen Yu Xiaogang pulling Yu Tianheng away.
"Left? Where could he have dragged him off to?"
"Perhaps back to Shrek Academy. Other than there, they have nowhere else to go."
Yun Tian spoke calmly. Based on what he knew of Gangzi, there was a ninety-percent chance that he had dragged Yu Tianheng back to Shrek Academy. That meant Yu Tianheng would likely be leaving the team.
"Lead the way!"
Chen Xin kicked Flender, who was sprawled on the ground. Flender hurriedly grabbed Zhao Wuji, and the two scrambled toward the academy.
"Boss Dai, hang in there. We'll be back at the academy soon."
Oscar and Ma Hongjun had no choice but to take on the task of carrying Dai Mubai.
"Ugh..."
Dai Mubai's consciousness was already on the verge of fading. The pain from this far surpassed that of losing an arm or leg. The fact that he had not passed out yet was proof of his strong will.
"Brother Yun Tian, is it all right if Rongrong calls you that?"
"Does your Imperial Battle Team still need people? Can Rongrong join?"
Along the way, Ning Rongrong stuck close to Yun Tian, chattering away with question after question. Yun Tian answered them all calmly, making Dugu Yan grit her teeth beside them.
Another one!
Couldn't Xiao Tian just be a little uglier? He was so handsome that he had drawn all those vixens over!
