Pulled into My Own Mess?

"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!!!"

Ye Hua halted, instantly twisting around and swinging his staff.

The Fire Dragon surged forth again, smashing the light wave apart.

Staff shadows whirled as he rapidly fired Sleeve Arrows to break the attack.

By the time Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong cried out their warning, Ye Hua had already blocked it perfectly.

"Ye Hua!" Dai Mubai shouted sharply. "Have you lost your mind?"

"He's a student of the academy! As a teacher, are you trying to kill someone on academy grounds?"

The moment Ma Hongjun saw Dai Mubai, he immediately seized onto his lifeline. "Boss Dai! Boss Dai, save me! He's trying to kill me! This lunatic really wants to kill me!"

Tang San said nothing. His eyes flickered as he silently loaded another Sleeve Arrow.

Ye Hua looked at the two of them, raising a brow. "What, you two want a beating too?"

Dai Mubai's face turned livid. "Ye Hua, you went too far!"

"No matter what, he's the headmaster's disciple. You beat him into this state—are you trying to become enemies with all of Shrek?"

"Enemies with Shrek?" Ye Hua sneered. "Classmate Mu Bai, don't go throwing around accusations like that."

"Get this straight. Harassing female students and attempting to rape a village girl are more than enough grounds to expel him!"

"Harassing female students?" Dai Mubai looked toward Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun guiltily looked away. "I-I-I was just joking around."

Dai Mubai immediately understood. Ah, so he just harassed Xiao Wu?

She isn't my woman. Why the hell should I care?

As an experienced man in matters of romance, he understood perfectly the explosive fury of a man whose beloved woman had been threatened.

Ye Hua was clearly trying to kill someone. Other than Xiao Wu being harassed, who else could it have been?

But he could not let Ma Hongjun get killed. As long as he saved him, this lackey would only become more loyal to him in the future!

With that thought, Dai Mubai straightened his back. "Ye Hua! The headmaster is already on his way! Just wait!"

Sure enough, a moment later, Flander and Zhao Wuji arrived. Having finally put out the fire, they walked over with dark faces.

Flander had dark circles under his eyes and was still wearing pajamas. He had clearly been forcibly awakened by the blaze.

Zhao Wuji looked even worse. His face still bore bruises from his recent beating, and when he saw Ma Hongjun covered in blood, his eyes nearly popped out.

"What happened?" Flander roared.

Dai Mubai was overjoyed. "Headmaster, Teacher Zhao, you came at just the right time!"

"Ye Hua, as an academy teacher, committed violence in public and severely injured Ma Hongjun!"

"Tang San and I rushed over to stop him, but he attacked us too! Such brutality is simply lawless!"

Tang San stepped forward as well, looking deeply grieved. "Yes, Headmaster. Ma Hongjun may have spoken improperly, and he was indeed at fault, but his crime did not warrant death!"

"Teacher Ye Hua attacked with killing moves from the start. If Boss Dai and I had not arrived in time, Ma Hongjun might already be dead!"

Tang San sneered inwardly. As long as Ye Hua was stripped of his teaching position, he would no longer have any place in Shrek.

Then Xiao Wu would be alone, and Tang San would have plenty of chances to exploit the situation!

Seeing Tang San help him drive the blade deeper, Dai Mubai nodded in satisfaction, ready to add fuel to the fire.

She was not his woman, so why would he feel bad?

As for Ye Hua's Xiao Wu, wasn't it even better that she had been harassed?

It would be best if Ye Hua and Fatty turned against each other completely. Then he could use Fatty to restrain Ye Hua and take the opportunity to win over Zhu Qing!

Thus, Dai Mubai declared loudly, "Headmaster, Ye Hua has repeatedly injured people within the academy by relying on his strength!"

"With someone like that as a teacher, we students truly live in constant fear. Why not—"

"Enough!"

A furious roar exploded, making everyone's ears buzz.

Dai Mubai and Tang San froze at the same time. The one who had shouted was not Ye Hua, but Zhao Wuji.

The Unmoving King was trembling all over, his fists clenched so hard they crackled.

If Flander had not stopped him in time, he would have already gone berserk!

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded. Teacher Zhao, didn't Ye Hua offend you too?

I'm proposing that we throw him out of the academy, so why are you getting worked up instead?

But it did not matter. Ye Hua was definitely getting expelled today. He said so!

At that moment, Zhao Wuji regretted it so deeply his intestines practically turned green!

If he had known Ma Hongjun would cause such a catastrophic disaster, he should have disciplined him long ago!

Slap!!!

Zhao Wuji's palm struck.

The crisp sound of the slap exploded through the night.

Ma Hongjun spun twice on the spot, the fat on his face rippling in layers.

Everyone was dumbstruck. Dai Mubai was dumbstruck, and Tang San was dumbstruck too.

Wasn't Ma Hongjun Zhao Wuji's disciple? Wasn't he the headmaster's godson?

Why was Zhao Wuji beating him harder than anyone else?

What they did not know was that Zhao Wuji only wanted to beat this pig as brutally as possible!

He had just promised Tie Xiong that he would treat Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing like young mistresses, yet this damned fatty had turned around and harassed them?

Wasn't that the same as putting a blade to his neck?!

At the thought that the old master might be hiding in the shadows and could bury him in the ground again at any moment, Zhao Wuji was so terrified that his mind went blank!

"Dead fatty!" Zhao Wuji's palms flew, each strike heavy. "I turned a blind eye to your usual arrogance and bullying, but now you've gone and burned down someone's house in the middle of the night?"

"You think burning down a house doesn't cost money?"

"And you still have the nerve to ask me to stand up for you?"

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

Four consecutive slaps!

Ma Hongjun was sent tumbling through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground, purplish bruises visibly swelling across his face.

"Teacher Zhao! Teacher Zhao!" Dai Mubai hurried forward, trying to grab Zhao Wuji's arm. "You're beating the wrong person!"

"Teacher Zhao," Tang San chimed in from the side, "Ye Hua is the one abusing his power to bully others, not Ma Hongjun!"

The two tried to restrain Zhao Wuji from either side, only to be sent flying by two resounding slaps.

"Get lost! I'm beating this bastard to death today!"

Zhao Wuji roared. Though he had not summoned his martial soul, his hands did not stop moving.

"Ye Hua! Say something!" Seeing Ma Hongjun's consciousness fading, Dai Mubai glared at Ye Hua. "Do you really want to watch him get slapped to death because of you?"

But Xiao Wu could no longer sit still. Holding Zhu Zhuqing in her arms, she spoke coldly, "Dai Mubai, do you know who Ma Hongjun harassed?"

Dai Mubai frowned. "Just some village girls, wasn't it?"

"He harassed Sister Zhu Qing!" Fire blazed in Xiao Wu's eyes. "He chased after a village girl and tried to rape her. Sister Zhu Qing happened to pass by and stopped him, so he attacked her!"

"He even said he would tie me, Rongrong, and Sister Zhu Qing up and try us one by one!"

"If my brother had not arrived in time, Sister Zhu Qing would have already become a lump of charcoal!"

Dai Mubai's expression instantly froze.

The girl he harassed was Zhu Qing?

He instinctively looked at Xiao Wu and found no sign that she was lying!

Boom!!!

Dai Mubai's heart instantly turned ice-cold!

He subconsciously turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.

Only to meet Zhu Zhuqing's icy eyes, filled with disappointment to the extreme.

Wait, I tried to mediate and somehow dragged myself into it?!
