"Sigh..."

Tang San let out a long sigh, feeling utterly helpless.

Just then, Ma Hongjun reached out and patted Tang San on the shoulder.

"I'll go find Grandmaster for you."

Tang San immediately turned to Ma Hongjun with gratitude.

"Thank you..."

"I also hope Xiao Wu can be rescued soon." Ma Hongjun glanced at Dai Mubai, who was still kneeling on the ground, then immediately turned and ran toward Spirit Hall.

The instant Ma Hongjun turned away, the worry on his face vanished, and the corners of his mouth rose beyond control.

Dai Mubai! So you have a day like this too!

Ma Hongjun had long been extremely displeased with Dai Mubai.

That guy chased after twin mature beauties every day, even legally-aged lolis!

But he never brought Ma Hongjun along.

Dai Mubai did it to satisfy his desires, but Ma Hongjun was doing it to save his life!

How could those be the same?

Yet Dai Mubai had always loved mocking Ma Hongjun for hiring prostitutes.

That was something Ma Hongjun simply could not accept.

You're so rich and handsome, so why not take me along!

But Dai Mubai was incredibly selfish and never considered them at all.

So Ma Hongjun harbored deep resentment toward Dai Mubai.

Now that he saw Dai Mubai getting humiliated, Ma Hongjun was overjoyed.

He had to find somewhere deserted to let out the wild laughter in his heart, or he would end up with internal injuries from holding it in.

At this moment, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang arrived at Spirit Hall's branch in Heaven Dou Imperial City.

At the entrance, two guards stopped Yu Xiaogang.

"Spirit Hall is closed for the day. If you have business, come back tomorrow."

They had clearly mistaken Yu Xiaogang for an ordinary person.

Yu Xiaogang could not be bothered to explain anything to such low-ranking guards. He directly took out his Elder token.

"What, I can't enter either?" Yu Xiaogang spoke imperiously, his attitude somewhat arrogant.

"So it's Elder, sir. Of course you can, of course you can."

After seeing the Elder token clearly, the guard changed his expression at lightning speed, becoming extremely respectful. "May I ask what brings Elder here so late at night?"

"One of my disciples disappeared here." Yu Xiaogang put away the token. "I merely wish to ask around."

The two guards looked at each other.

"Well..."

One of the guards looked troubled.

"We just took over the night shift, so we don't know what happened during the day."

Yu Xiaogang froze. "Then who should I speak to?"

"There happens to be a high-ranking official here right now. Would Elder like to meet her? We can lead the way," the other guard hurriedly said.

A high-ranking official?

Perhaps this official knew some secrets.

Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Fine, lead the way."

Thus, the two guards respectfully ushered Yu Xiaogang inside.

This made Yu Xiaogang feel quite inflated.

Outside, he was merely a worthless man despised by everyone, but in Spirit Hall, he was a noble Elder!

This token was truly useful.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was led by the two guards before Qian Renxue, who was dressed as a woman.

"Elder Yu Xiaogang?"

After hearing the guards' introduction, Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes.

She knew the name Yu Xiaogang.

Xue Tianyu seemed to have mentioned this man while drinking with her.

Apparently, this man's personal strength was poor, but his theories sounded impressive.

They simply had not been fully realized yet.

Moreover, it was said that this Yu Xiaogang was Pope Bibi Dong's lover.

That left Qian Renxue no choice but to speculate.

Could one reason Bibi Dong treated her so terribly be Yu Xiaogang?

She truly could not understand why Bibi Dong remained so devoted to such trash.

But anything Bibi Dong liked, Qian Renxue wanted to destroy.

"Honorary Elder, come closer."

Chapter 28: Xue Tianyu Brutally Beats the Seven Monsters, Zhu Zhuqing, You're Just Cheap!

Seeing that the Spirit Hall official wanted him to come closer, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang became very excited.

If Xiao Wu really was here, then judging from this official's attitude, he would definitely be able to get her back.

Yu Xiaogang was delighted. It seemed his status as an Honorary Elder still carried weight in Spirit Hall.

He had Bibi Dong to thank for that.

"Speak. What brings you here so late?" Qian Renxue, dressed as a woman, covered her face with a light veil, preventing Yu Xiaogang from seeing her features.

"It's like this. One of my disciples came here today to collect her Soul Master stipend, but she has not returned for a long time."

Yu Xiaogang chose his words carefully, afraid that one careless remark would give the other party an excuse to dismiss him for disrespecting Spirit Hall.

"You're saying you came here to find a disciple?" Qian Renxue smiled faintly. "Do you think Spirit Hall took your disciple?"

"No, no. How could such a grand establishment as Spirit Hall possibly take my disciple?" Yu Xiaogang hurriedly laughed. "I merely wanted to ask around and see whether I could find any trace of her."

Looking at Yu Xiaogang's utterly useless appearance, Qian Renxue felt uncomfortable thinking that Bibi Dong hated her so viciously because of someone like him.

The more Qian Renxue looked at Yu Xiaogang, the more displeased she became.

Looking for a disciple?

To hell with that. She would beat him senseless first!

The opportunity had arrived. No matter what, she had to vent some of her anger.

Thus, she gave a cold, beautiful smile and beckoned to Yu Xiaogang. "Come, let us discuss this at length."

"Grandmaster will be here soon. Let Mubai go, all right?"

Zhu Zhuqing still could not bear to watch Dai Mubai remain here like this. He was the proud Star Luo Prince.

Although almost no one here knew his identity, how could the pride in a prince's bones be trampled like this?

Zhu Zhuqing could not bear it.

"Why are you still thinking about him?"

Xue Tianyu had no intention of stopping. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, he continued, "Even after coming here and discovering that he was out indulging himself, didn't that hurt you? Didn't you feel anything at all?"

"No... I didn't..."

Although Zhu Zhuqing denied it with her words, her evasive gaze exposed her true thoughts.

Back then, in order to be with Dai Mubai, she had not hesitated to flee her family and come to Shrek Academy, only to witness the scene that broke her heart the most.

Dai Mubai had actually walked right past her openly, with two young girls in his arms.

At that time, for Dai Mubai's sake, she wore black stockings and a headscarf, wrapping herself up tightly.

That was because she believed only Dai Mubai was allowed to see her body.

Now, hearing Xue Tianyu's words, she wanted to deny them in her heart, but her body was far more honest.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing like this, Xue Tianyu smiled. Today, he would help Zhu Zhuqing wake up completely.

Not every scumbag was worth loving.

"Zhu Zhuqing, for a piece of trash who fools around outside, you forced yourself to accept him just so you could fit into Shrek Academy. Is that really good?"

"Are you afraid of being isolated and excluded at the academy, or are you afraid that this piece of trash will eventually abandon you?"

"I..."

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, and her outstretched arms slowly lowered.

"It's not like that. I was at fault too..."

"What did you do wrong? You traveled far from home for the love in your heart. That was courage. The one at fault was always Dai Mubai."

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale.

Every word Xue Tianyu spoke was like a sharp blade viciously stabbing her lungs, making it hard for her to breathe.

She simply refused to admit that Xue Tianyu was right.

Otherwise, what had all her self-sacrifice over so long amounted to?

"Stop talking. Mubai must have his reasons..."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice choked with sobs.

"Why should I stop?" Xue Tianyu still showed her no mercy. Since he was going to teach her, he might as well be blunt about it. "Zhu Zhuqing, are you stupid?"

"Playing with twins, enjoying himself in bed with lolis and mature beauties—those are Dai Mubai's reasons?"

Xue Tianyu gave a cold laugh. "He really has it so hard."

That final sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. At last, little pearls fell from Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

"No, it's not like that. Mubai isn't..."

"He isn't?" Xue Tianyu interrupted Zhu Zhuqing's choked rebuttal, then continued pressing the point.

"Zhu Zhuqing, when did you become so weak?"

"Playing with twins in new ways every day, waking up every morning in a hotel bed with a different woman in his arms—this is your fiancé!"

Watching Zhu Zhuqing's expression grow increasingly ugly, Xue Tianyu knew the final blow was next.

"Zhu Zhuqing, search your heart. Can you truly accept Dai Mubai like this?"

"Tsk... How pathetic."

"Stop talking!"

Zhu Zhuqing broke down.

Every word Xue Tianyu said struck directly at her pain.

At this moment, Xue Tianyu continued while he had the advantage.

"Think about it. While he was indulging himself, you were cultivating diligently. While he spent three nights with twins, you were cultivating diligently. He was making love every moment, while you were cultivating every moment for his sake."

"Is this... really worth it?"

"You're working hard to change your fate, but what about him?"
