The Master Left Speechless!

The Master Left Speechless!

"Little San, let me teach you another lesson. When dealing with unreasonable people, there is no need to reason with them at all, because they will not listen," the Master said.

Ma Hongjun merely wore an amused expression.

He was unreasonable? At least in this matter, Ma Hongjun had every reason on his side.

So he asked directly, "Master, you say I'm unreasonable. Then tell me exactly where I've been unreasonable?"

The Master said directly, "You provoke conflicts among your classmates, form cliques within the academy, and engage in private fights. On top of that, at such a young age, you spend all day fooling around in romance. You even pushed two beds together in the dormitory and slept together as a boy and a girl. Although you are both young, how is that proper?"

Ma Hongjun sneered. "Master, I disagree with what you said. When have I ever provoked conflicts among classmates? They were the ones who came looking for trouble with me, all right? We can even confront each other over it. And forming cliques? I'm only their dorm leader. It wasn't me who told them to call me boss. As for this romance nonsense, that's even more ridiculous. This kind of thing is about mutual willingness. I'm willing, Xiao Wu is willing, so it really has nothing to do with you. Aren't you just meddling in other people's business?"

"Do you know why I said you're hypocritical?" Ma Hongjun said.

The Master frowned.

He was clearly displeased by Ma Hongjun's words.

But Ma Hongjun did not care.

He said directly, "Before me, Xiao Wu and Tang San also pushed their beds together. Why didn't you step forward then and say it was improper? That's obvious double standards, which is why I call you hypocritical. Am I wrong?"

After saying that, Ma Hongjun sneered at the Master.

Let's see what this so-called Master would say next.

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, the Master only looked at Tang San.

As for Tang San pushing the beds together—

He truly had not known about it.

But even if he had known—

He probably would not have cared.

Yet now it had been brought up against him.

That made him rather uncomfortable.

And the boy before him was sharp-tongued.

It gave him the feeling that he could hardly refute him.

So the Master fell silent.

He seemed not to know what to say.

Tang San's expression was also ugly.

Because, in a certain sense—

Everything Ma Hongjun said was right.

The dean also saw that the atmosphere was growing somewhat awkward.

So he hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

"What are you all talking about? These are only minor matters! Don't let such small things make everyone unhappy," the dean said directly.

In his view, there was no need for this.

Ma Hongjun heard the dean's words.

He merely smiled and said, "Dean, you saw it too. It wasn't me who wanted this. He insisted on coming to find fault with me, so I had no choice but to refute them. From now on, as long as they don't provoke me, I definitely won't provoke them. And one more thing: what Xiao Wu and I have is mutual. You don't need to concern yourselves with it."

On this point, Ma Hongjun spoke with absolute firmness.

Even the dean could hear the determination in his heart.

Clearly, this was how he viewed Xiao Wu.

Everything else was negotiable.

But when it came to his girlfriend—

There was clearly no room for negotiation whatsoever.

Tang San's expression became even uglier.

But at this moment, he could not say a word.

The dean was also somewhat speechless upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words.

This little fellow seemed to be taking advantage and still acting innocent.

With Ma Hongjun saying this—

It made it difficult for him to say anything.

The Master's expression was incomparably ugly.

This brat was practically slapping him across the face.

The implication was only one step short of directly accusing him of bullying the young with his seniority.

Ma Hongjun was the sort of person who would never let anyone who bullied him get away with it.

Seeing everyone's expressions—

Ma Hongjun stopped talking.

He wanted them to know that he was not someone to be messed with. That was precisely the effect he wanted.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal—

Ma Hongjun was satisfied.

Then he said, "Dean, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first, if there's nothing else."

The dean was somewhat speechless when he heard Ma Hongjun's words.

Was this little fellow even busier than he was?

But at this moment—

He would not let Ma Hongjun remain any longer.

Because he could already see that the Master, his good friend, had an expression that had darkened to the extreme.

If this little fellow stayed here, it might cause an even greater conflict.

So the dean waved his hand and said, "Then go take care of your business!"

Ma Hongjun nodded at those words.

Then he bade the dean farewell.

Ignoring the expressions on the Master's and Tang San's faces, Ma Hongjun turned and walked straight out of the dean's office.

Xiao Wu was still waiting for him to eat.

Staying here was simply a waste of time.

Wouldn't it be better to go find his Xiao Wu?

Why insist on staying here?

As for the Master and Tang San—

Ma Hongjun did not take them to heart at all right now.

After Ma Hongjun had completely disappeared through the doorway—

The dean turned to look at the Master.

Seeing that his expression was still incomparably ugly—

How should he put it? The dean somewhat wanted to laugh.

Because he had never seen the Master suffer such a setback before.

This version of the Master felt rather novel to him.

But he knew he could not laugh.

Because he understood the Master's personality very well.

If he laughed—

This fellow would probably truly get angry.

So he said, "Xiao Gang, in the future, you should have Tang San stop provoking that guy."

The Master looked at the dean and asked, "Just who is he? He doesn't look like a child from a commoner family at all."

The dean said, "I truly don't know where he comes from. I only know that he was brought here by a Soul Sage. In other words, there is at least a Soul Sage standing behind him. That is also why I don't want you to have any conflict with him."

The Master's expression darkened even further.

Tang San was shocked.

A Soul Sage expert?

Village Chief Jack had mentioned it before.

Holy Soul Village was called Holy Soul Village because it had once produced a Soul Sage expert.

That alone showed how powerful a Soul Sage was.

He had not expected Ma Hongjun to have a Soul Sage standing behind him.

An expert of that level was not someone he could touch right now.

But when he thought of how Ma Hongjun had insulted his teacher just now—

Anger rose within him as well.

In short, he wanted to do something.

The Master felt bitterness in his heart.

At the end of the day, he was only a Soul Grandmaster-level soul master.

Facing an expert like a Soul Sage, he had no power to resist whatsoever.

Seeing the expressions of the Master and Tang San, the dean knew that they probably had thoughts of their own.

So he said again, "Actually, there isn't any great conflict between you. Just as he said, simply leave him alone."

The Master and Tang San both fell silent upon hearing that.

It seemed that was indeed the best course of action.
