Tang San discovers Xiao Wu is missing, and the three girls are punished (1 / 2)

"Mr. Li, we know we were wrong. Could you please let us off this once?"

Ning Rongrong pleaded.

By then, she had lost all her Young Lady temper.

"You must be punished before you can be forgiven!"

"Not killing you is already showing you mercy."

Li Tianyuan sneered.

"One more word of advice: don't think about escaping while I cultivate. If I catch you again, I might kill you!"

After giving them that warning, Li Tianyuan walked over to the meditation cushion and sat down cross-legged.

At the same time, he waved his hand, extinguishing the lamps in the room.

Everything fell utterly silent.

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, this is all my fault. I've dragged you into this!"

Ning Rongrong hung her head, looking rather ashamed.

"Rongrong, this isn't your fault. We underestimated him!"

Xiao Wu reassured her.

In truth, she felt a little relieved. Fortunately, this Mr. Li was not a Titled Douluo. Otherwise, her identity might have been exposed.

The consequences would have been unthinkable!

Still, she could sense a powerful force emanating from him. His strength might be far greater than she had imagined.

This time, they really had provoked someone they should never have crossed.

"Why don't we just..."

Zhu Zhuqing surveyed the silent room and clenched her fists, feeling that they should be able to find a way to escape.

"Zhu Zhuqing, don't act rashly."

Xiao Wu shook her head gently.

Of the three, she was the strongest, and neither of the other two could compare to her powers of perception.

With Li Tianyuan there, they had no chance of escaping.

If they truly angered him, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Then what should we do?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked anxiously.

"Don't worry. He wouldn't dare kill us. Besides, once we go missing, the Dean will definitely hear about it."

Ning Rongrong said.

She thought Li Tianyuan was merely trying to frighten them.

"Then let's wait."

Xiao Wu nodded, then rested her head on the table, intending to get some rest.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had no other options either, so they could only wait.

Early the following morning, at Shrek Academy's Girls' Dormitory.

A boy with rather ordinary looks stood about 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a light blue fitted outfit with a gem-inlaid jade belt around his waist. His medium-length black hair hung down the back of his head, giving him a somewhat carefree air.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

"Xiao Wu?"

He called out again.

There was still not a sound in reply.

"Something's wrong!"

The boy pushed the door open. The room was completely empty, with nothing inside.

"All three of them are gone!"

The boy exclaimed in surprise.

"What happened? Or did all three of them head out first thing this morning?"

The boy frowned and thought it over. He felt it was unlikely that all three had gone out so early. Something must have happened.

He immediately hurried outside.

After searching the surrounding area, he found no trace of the three girls.

He sensed that something was very wrong!

He arrived at the Boys' Dormitory.

"Boss Dai, we have a problem!"

As soon as the boy entered the dormitory, he saw a tall boy with strikingly devilish good looks. His long blond hair fell to the small of his back, loose and wild. Dressed in a black fitted outfit, he turned his deep blue eyes toward the newcomer.

"Tang San, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Boss Dai asked. He was Dai Mubai, the leader of Shrek Academy's students, and a faint smile rested on his face as he spoke.

"Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing are all missing!"

Tang San looked at him as he spoke.

"What did you say?"

A trace of anxiety appeared on Dai Mubai's previously calm face.

He was not particularly worried about the others, but he was concerned for Zhu Zhuqing's safety.

"I just went to find Xiao Wu, and there was no one in the Girls' Dormitory!"

Tang San added.

"How is that possible?"

"Zhu Zhuqing is reserved. She doesn't usually go anywhere else."

"She certainly wouldn't go anywhere else first thing in the morning."

"Could they have gone out to have fun all night and not come back?"

Anger crept into Dai Mubai's eyes.

Three girls sneaking out and staying away all night—how outrageous.

"Impossible. If Xiao Wu really went out to have fun, she would definitely have told me beforehand."

Tang San shook his head, sounding utterly certain.

Seeing his expression, Dai Mubai shook his head slightly. "Tang San, you really don't understand girls. Sometimes, girls party even harder than we do!"

"Maybe your Xiao Wu has taken a fancy to some..."

He left the rest unsaid.

"Boss Dai, would Zhu Zhuqing do that too?"

Tang San looked at Dai Mubai, a hint of a teasing smile flickering in his eyes.

"Zhu Zhuqing? Surely she wouldn't."

Yet Dai Mubai sounded somewhat uncertain.

Zhu Zhuqing was aloof and had always kept her distance from him. He did not know all that much about her life.

"In that case, let's find them first. It looks like something might have happened to them!"

Tang San said anxiously.

"All right. Get Oscar and Ma Hongjun. We'll search together!"

Dai Mubai began to worry too. If something really had happened, he would stand to lose a great deal.

The two immediately went to notify Oscar and Ma Hongjun. Then the four hurried out of Shrek Academy and headed for Suotuo City.

They felt the most likely explanation was that the three girls had been having fun in Suotuo City and had not returned.

Outside the Heavenly Secrets Tower in Suotuo City.

It had already opened for business.

Three girls stood outside, each as lovely as a flower beneath the moon.

They stood at the entrance like attendants.

Their little faces were all tense, however, and they barely spoke as they watched the stream of people passing by.

Passersby could not resist taking a few more looks, curiosity showing in their eyes.

But no one paid them much attention.

A spy keeping watch outside the Heavenly Secrets Tower noticed the situation, however.

After checking several times, he realized that one of them seemed to be the Young Lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Upon discovering this, he immediately went back to report it.

The entire morning passed, and Ning Rongrong and the others stood there, barely moving.

"That hateful man! How dare he make me stand here without moving!"

Ning Rongrong fumed.

Never in her life had she suffered such treatment.

Now Li Tianyuan had put her to work as a greeter, which infuriated her.

"Rongrong, didn't you say someone would come to rescue us soon?"

"Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Xiao Wu's waist was beginning to ache from standing too.

"They should be here soon. Once I get back this time, I'll make them pay!"

Ning Rongrong said angrily.

She, the esteemed Young Lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was being humiliated here. Had those people still not come up with a solution?

Just as she was speaking, several figures hurried toward them.

The one in front had golden hair flowing behind him. They were from Shrek Academy.

"So you really are here!"

Upon seeing the three girls standing there, Dai Mubai's face lit up with delighted surprise, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
