For this, she had nearly given herself away.
Tears fell in large drops, impossible to stop.
Her fiancé was clearly a coward who had run away, yet he was still enjoying life at Shrek Academy!
At that thought, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turned cold.
Even if Dai Mubai cried out in pain even louder, her heart no longer seemed to hurt as much.
At that moment, Dai Mubai finally recovered somewhat from the intense pain. Grimacing, he raised his head to look at Xue Tianyu.
"Since you know so much, then you must know that I am a prince of the Star Luo Empire!"
"Oh? So what if you are a prince?"
Xue Tianyu narrowed his eyes at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai took a deep breath, trying to temporarily suppress the pain.
"If you don't want to offend the Star Luo Empire, then let us go and hand over Xiao Wu!"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth through the pain, though endless fear hid in his eyes.
"Otherwise, you'll have to bear the wrath of the Star Luo Empire!"
Tang San Bowed? Xiao Wu's Pathological Demand: Bow to Prove Your Love!
"Hah?"
Xue Tianyu laughed.
And he laughed loudly.
"What are you laughing at?!"
For some reason, Xue Tianyu's laughter made Dai Mubai's heart tremble.
But he had to use his status now. Otherwise, Xue Tianyu would keep crushing him.
That would not do.
Since an ordinary academy could not suppress him, he would elevate the matter to the national level.
Dai Mubai felt that no one would be foolish enough to offend both a sect and an empire at once, right?
If that happened, even scraping together a living on the continent would be difficult.
Whenever Dai Mubai had trouble settling something in the past, he would invoke the Star Luo Empire.
Most people would give the Star Luo Empire some face and stop pursuing the matter.
However, Xue Tianyu was no ordinary person.
Others feared a state machine like the Star Luo Empire, but he did not.
With his arms folded across his chest, Xue Tianyu looked coldly at Dai Mubai, who was still lying on the ground and groaning softly.
"You?"
"Nothing but an abandoned pawn of the Star Luo Empire."
Dai Mubai's face turned pale, and a bad feeling rose faintly in his heart.
Could it be...
Sure enough, his premonition came true.
Staring into Dai Mubai's eyes, Xue Tianyu said word by word, "If I wrote a letter to Dai Weisi right now, he'd be more than happy to send someone to assassinate you, wouldn't he?"
Dai Mubai went numb.
How did this man know so much?!
Fear had already appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xue Tianyu.
That fear even made him briefly forget the agony of his shattered lower leg.
He felt completely naked before Xue Tianyu.
Before long, he felt utterly powerless in the face of Xue Tianyu.
Dai Mubai regretted it.
They had originally come to look for Xiao Wu.
This was Tang San's business. He should not have been so eager to step forward.
And now, the bird that stuck its head out got shot. Of everyone here, he had suffered the worst.
His heart trembled. He should not have forced himself into the spotlight.
Xue Tianyu looked calmly at Dai Mubai. "Stop lying there. Get up and kneel before me!"
Dai Mubai shuddered. He did not dare disobey Xue Tianyu, so he could only meekly endure the agonizing pain, crawl up, and kneel.
Seeing Dai Mubai being reduced to silence by Xue Tianyu, Tang San remembered that Dai Mubai was helping him after all and spoke up. "He's badly injured. Don't make him kneel..."
Xue Tianyu tilted his head and looked at Tang San.
"What? Do you want to join him?"
Tang San fell silent.
He had to preserve his strength for Xiao Wu now.
This was not the time for him to force himself into the spotlight.
Of course, only Tang San himself knew how much of that was self-preservation.
Dai Mubai was no fool. He looked at Tang San with a trace of resentment in his eyes.
Damn it, I charged into battle for Xiao Wu and ended up like this. But when I turn around, you're hiding behind everyone like a coward. Is that really okay?
Is Xiao Wu my woman?
Who was the one crying and begging us to help find Xiao Wu back then?
Now that we've practically found her, you've gone soft just because Xiao Wu cuckolded you?
Dai Mubai utterly despised Tang San.
He truly could not even be bothered to keep pretending anymore.
Hypocrite!
Dai Mubai knew that the days when he treated his brothers with absolute sincerity were gone forever.
With Tang San behaving like this, he was unworthy of calling himself Dai Mubai's brother!
Now, the only person Dai Mubai cared about was Zhu Zhuqing.
But when Dai Mubai turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, his heart instantly went cold.
There was already much clarity in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as she looked at him.
N-No way, right?
Could it be that even my goddess, Zhu Zhuqing, is going to leave me?
Dai Mubai truly could not bear such a blow.
He immediately faced Zhu Zhuqing and said in an almost pleading tone, "Zhuqing, listen to my explanation. Things aren't what you think!"
He had to explain, or this misunderstanding would only grow worse.
However, as if she had completely seen through him, Zhu Zhuqing directly moved a little closer to Xue Tianyu.
A chasm-like rift formed between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.
She wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai's heart ached.
This pain was even more unbearable than being killed. But there was nothing he could do. Zhu Zhuqing had already made her stance clear.
Seeing his goddess's attitude, Dai Mubai felt icy cold all over.
It was over. Zhu Zhuqing's attitude made Dai Mubai feel as though his entire world had collapsed.
Gone. Everything was gone!
Anger suddenly appeared in Dai Mubai's eyes.
It was all Xiao Wu's fault!
Why did she have to seek revenge against Xue Tianyu? Did she not know her own limits?
Of course, Tang San was also to blame!
He had actually come looking for Xue Tianyu and still acted so arrogantly!
Damn Tang San! Why did I have to stand up for his business?!
"Ma Hongjun has already gone to fetch the Grandmaster. The two of them will be back soon. Let me see Xiao Wu first." Tang San knew he could no longer rely on Dai Mubai.
He had to take the initiative himself.
Thinking of Yu Xiaogang, who would soon arrive, Xue Tianyu's thoughts began to turn.
How should I torment him later?
In any case, he would first use Yu Xiaogang's blood to repay part of what Bibi Dong had done.
"Fine. Since you want to see her so badly, and I'm not that heartless, I'll let you see her once."
Xue Tianyu's words gave Tang San a glimmer of hope.
"Really?"
Xue Tianyu nodded. "Of course. You only need to kneel and kowtow to me one hundred times, and I'll let you see her."
"Pfft... What did you say?!"
Tang San could not hold back and nearly cursed aloud.
This was clearly humiliating him.
One hundred kowtows—even returning to acknowledge one's ancestors would not require that many!
Such a demand was utterly excessive.
Facing this humiliation, Tang San clenched his fists and looked at Xue Tianyu.
He hesitated.
Should I bow, or not?
At that moment, in the bathroom.
Xiao Wu had pressed her entire body against the bathroom door.
She wanted to hear what Tang San would say next.
When she heard that Xue Tianyu demanded Tang San kowtow before he could see her, she immediately understood Xue Tianyu's intention.
"Third Brother, don't kowtow!" Xiao Wu cried out excitedly, slapping the door.
However, there was no way her voice could reach outside.
She understood clearly that such humiliation was fatal to a man.
It was one man trampling upon another man's dignity!
But at that thought, Xiao Wu suddenly realized that if Tang San refused to kowtow, would that not mean his love for her was only so much?
Perhaps, in his heart, her place was not that important.
Was she not worth him crossing his bottom line for her?
At that thought, Xiao Wu began to hope that Tang San would kowtow.
After all, only then could he truly prove that his love for her ran deep.
At that thought, an expectant look appeared on Xiao Wu's face.
