"Xiaogang, what happened? Didn't I tell you not to go looking for trouble with him again? Why wouldn't you listen?!"
Flender's expression looked worse than if he had swallowed a fly. It had taken great effort last time to get Chen Xin to spare them, yet now they had provoked two Titled Douluo. Did they really think their lives were that tough?
"It was clearly Dai Mubai who insisted on launching a sneak attack." Yu Xiaogang's eyes darted about as he tried to argue his way out of it.
Dai Mubai clenched his fists. "What do you mean by that, Yu Xiaogang? You were the one who told me not to attack, and I didn't. It was your precious disciple who attacked!"
"Little San attacked because he was confident he could pull off the sneak attack. What do you have?! The confidence you gained from getting beaten half to death?!" Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly.
"Damn it, do you believe I'll kill you?"
A powerful aura erupted from within Dai Mubai. With strength close to that of a Soul Ancestor, killing Yu Xiaogang would indeed be effortless for him.
"Hmph, Dai Mubai, Shrek Academy doesn't need students like you." Yu Xiaogang seemed to be relying on Flender to back him up and showed no fear of Dai Mubai. Besides, he still had Tang San. No matter what, Tang San would stand by his side, right?
Sure enough, Tang San stepped out to smooth things over.
"Boss Dai, it was my mistake when I attacked. Teacher isn't to blame. We should think about how to resolve the crisis before us."
Tang San sighed as he spoke.
Flender snorted. "Resolve it? Go on, show me how you're going to resolve this. Those are two Titled Douluo!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei descended before the group with cold expressions. If Chu Bai had not given the order, they would likely have already acted and slaughtered this entire bunch.
"Hehe, Your Excellencies, today's matter was a misunderstanding." Flender forced a smile and stepped forward.
"A misunderstanding? Do you really think the two of us only just arrived? We have been watching all of you from the sky."
Yue Guan unleashed the overwhelming aura of a Titled Douluo. His nine soul rings seemed to freeze the surrounding air. He looked at Yu Xiaogang before finally fixing his gaze on Tang San.
"Just now, was it you who tried to sneak attack the Holy Son?"
Only at that moment did everyone realize Chu Bai's identity.
The Holy Son of Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's personal disciple!
"So you're the Holy Son of Spirit Hall. That means you're Bibi Dong's disciple?!"
Grandmaster finally understood as he looked at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai stared coldly at Yu Xiaogang. "Yu Xiaogang, you have no right to mention Bibi Dong's name."
"What right do you have to make such a decision for your teacher? Your teacher once—"
Yu Xiaogang still wanted to dredge up the past and make Chu Bai understand that he and Bibi Dong had once shared a relationship. Perhaps then Chu Bai would spare him.
Slap!
Chu Bai's face darkened. He gathered Soul Power and slapped him from afar, sending Yu Xiaogang spinning twice through the air before he crashed to the ground.
"You always stop halfway through a sentence. What happened once?" Chu Bai asked, feigning confusion.
One side of Yu Xiaogang's face swiftly swelled red. He climbed back up and tried to continue. "Once—"
Slap!
Another slap. This time, both sides of Yu Xiaogang's face were symmetrical.
"Chu Bai, you've gone too far." The rage in Tang San's eyes was no longer possible to conceal. He looked at Chu Bai, wishing he could kill him on the spot.
Chu Bai clapped his hands. "I'm telling you people, you really don't understand the situation at all. You're the fish on the chopping block now, aren't you? Why are you all still acting so arrogant?"
"You should count yourselves lucky, Shrek. If I were Chen Xin, I would have brought down a Weapon Spirit True Body on you that day."
Though Flender was also furious inside, he still smiled and cupped his fists. "Your Highness Holy Son, we are merely an ordinary academy. Our disciples are ignorant, and some misunderstandings arose between you. I apologize to you."
"I hope Your Highness Holy Son will not lower yourself to the level of insignificant people like us."
Chu Bai raised an eyebrow.
This guy was quite good at moral blackmail, but Chu Bai was not buying it.
"Don't try to PUA me. Forget being the Holy Son—even if I were the Pope, I'd still want to settle things properly with you."
Chu Bai slowly stepped forward. Yue Guan immediately understood and flicked a finger. Sharp flower petals transformed into blades and came to rest against everyone's throats.
At that moment, all it would take was a single thought from Yue Guan for these people to die on the spot.
"Then may I ask what Your Highness Holy Son wants before you will stop holding this against us?" Flender's expression darkened. He had not expected Chu Bai to press them so relentlessly.
"I don't want much. I only want certain people to understand the difference between themselves and others."
Chu Bai walked up to Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai. "You two were the first ones who wanted to attack me, right?"
"That's right, it was them!"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke up!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Was Yu Xiaogang an idiot?
He had exposed Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai like that. Wasn't he afraid Chu Bai would kill them on the spot?
"What are you doing?!" Flender's eyes widened as he looked at his former friend as though he no longer recognized him.
"Did you really think Chu Bai would spare us? We might as well hand those two over. Maybe then he'll let the rest of us go! Do you really want everyone to die here?!" Yu Xiaogang said grimly.
"Fuck you, Yu Xiaogang! I'm killing you today!"
Dai Mubai could no longer hold himself back. His White Tiger Protective Barrier erupted, and he blasted Yu Xiaogang with surging, violent energy.
Yu Xiaogang staggered back in fright. In the end, Tang San stepped in and stopped Dai Mubai.
"Boss Dai, this is Chu Bai's scheme to drive us apart. If we fall for it, we'll just become a laughingstock for him," Tang San urged.
Dai Mubai took a deep breath. "Yu Xiaogang, if there's a next time, even if Tang San tries to stop me, I'll still kill you!"
"Was I wrong?!" Yu Xiaogang retorted.
"You're absolutely right. A level twenty-nine piece of trash calling himself Grandmaster—who could possibly be more right than you?"
Dai Mubai spread his hands and said mockingly.
"You!"
Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Chu Bai laughed. "Enough. I won't make trouble for you today. After all, who hasn't made a few mistakes in their life?"
"You, leave behind an arm, and all of you can leave here unharmed. Otherwise, Shrek may be struck off the map today."
Chu Bai pointed at Yu Xiaogang.
In an instant, Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale. The others slowly turned to look at him, seeming ready to tear his arm off on the spot!
"Chu Bai, your teacher and I are old friends. You can't treat me like this!!"
