Everyone was surprised when they heard Dai Mubai's words.
After all, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had never revealed this relationship before.
In the hearts of the Shrek Academy members, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Yan were always considered a couple, and indeed, they did become a couple.
Dai Mubai shook his head and continued:
"After they left, I was a bit emotional, so I stepped forward, pointed at Zhu Zhuqing, and said that if she wanted to be intimate with Xiao Yan, then she should cancel the engagement between our two families."
At this point, Dai Mubai's gaze swept over everyone, and they could all sense the shame and indignation on Dai Mubai face.
Ma Hongjun and the others remained silent upon hearing this.
Put yourself in their shoes; no one could tolerate their fiancée being so intimate with another man.
Dai Mubai continued speaking:
"But I never expected that, knowing that I was engaged to Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Yan would start instigating Zhu Zhuqing to harm me."
"I admit I was a little angry, so I started fighting with Zhu Zhuqing. I just didn't expect Xiao Yan to launch a sneak attack from the side."
Hearing this, Tang San frowned and said:
"Senior brother absorbed the Nine-Heart Soul-Cleansing Glazed Lotus and couldn't use his Soul Power for two days. How is that possible?"
"He used the Hidden Weapon you made for us before."
Dai Mubai said, "When I fought Zhu Zhuqing, these Hidden Weapon naturally couldn't break through my defenses, but they only made me angrier."
His fight with Zhu Zhuqing gradually became more intense.
However, Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the Immortal Herb and also reached level forty. Since our Soul Power Level were the same, we were evenly matched for a time. Just as our battle reached a stalemate, the Grandmaster appeared and stopped us.
Dai Mubai's face showed anger:
"I didn't expect the Grandmaster to appear here, so I was already planning to stop, but I didn't expect that Xiao Yan, who had been unable to make a move, would actually use Soul Skill at this moment!"
Dai Mubai's gaze involuntarily turned to Tang San, and he said:
"There should still be traces of his Martial Soul battle left behind in the forest Heaven Dou City; no one can deny that."
His sudden attack caught me completely off guard, and with Zhu Zhuqing's assistance, I was almost seriously injured.
"More importantly, despite the Grandmaster's advice, Xiao Yan showed no intention of stopping, and I, who was ambushed, was no match for the two of them working together."
Ultimately, under Xiao Yan's control of the Netherworld Lock, Zhu Zhuqing unleashed the Netherworld Slash... which caused such damage to the Grandmaster.
Everyone had many questions after listening to Dai Mubai's words.
But he couldn't bring himself to speak for a moment.
Flender, who was standing nearby, took Oscar directly out of the city and quickly found the battlefield where the battle had taken place.
Oscar and Flender fell silent as they looked at the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow bolts embedded in the ground and tree trunks.
Then, they arrived at the place where Xiao Yan released his Martial Soul. The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees still had a trace of lingering frost on them, and they watched the explosive scene spreading outwards from the center.
A look of confusion flashed in Oscar's eyes.
This is indeed Xiao Yan's Martial Soul!
After all, everyone had witnessed Xiao Yan's all-out attack back then.
But wouldn't that mean Dai Mubai wasn't lying?
So... was it really Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing who seriously injured Boss Dai and Grandmaster?
Oscar couldn't help but recall their past interactions.
Xiao Yan clearly respects the Grandmaster, so how could he possibly attack Grandmaster?
But seeing the battle scene before them, Oscar and Flender fell silent.
The return of the two confirmed that the battlefield traces in the forest were not faked.
This means that most of what Dai Mubai said is probably true.
Hearing Oscar's words, Tang San's eyes flashed with confusion and disbelief, and he said:
"I don't believe it, it must be fake!"
On the other side, the Grandmaster, who had received some care, looked somewhat better and addressed the crowd:
"You can go out now."
Seeing this, everyone knew that the Grandmaster probably had something to say to Tang San alone.
Ultimately, this matter involved the Grandmaster and his disciple, so everyone left, giving them some space to be alone.
As everyone left, Tang San's eyes immediately reddened. He looked up at the Grandmaster before him, and said with a pained expression:
"Teacher... it can't be like this, right? How could my senior brother possibly attack you?"
Upon hearing Tang San's words, a chill crept into the depths of the Grandmaster's eyes, but a bitter smile appeared on his face. He reached out his only remaining left hand, patted Tang San's head, and said:
" Little San, if it were your senior brother, of course he wouldn't have attacked me."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up, and he abruptly looked up at the Grandmaster, saying:
"So, teacher, there's more to the story, right? Who is the murderer?"
The Grandmaster looked at Tang San, gazing at him silently. Feeling the Grandmaster's gaze, Tang San felt a sense of unfamiliarity and a sense of unease rose in his heart.
" Little San, do you still remember what your senior brother said about the other world his Martial Soul connects to?"
Hearing the Grandmaster's words, Tang San asked in shock, "You mean...?"
The Grandmaster shook his head, a bitter look on his face, and explained:
"I originally came to check on how your senior brother's recovery is going, but I found that his condition was not right. He seemed to have changed completely, which puzzled me greatly."
So I pretended to leave, but hid in the shadows. Then I saw him deceive Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing, making her take him away.
I was worried and felt something was wrong, so I followed them. On the way, I saw Dai Mubai following behind them all the way out of the city.
I only came out to stop them when they started fighting and things got really heated. But I never expected this.
At this moment, your senior brother actually launched a sneak attack on Mubai, and with Zhu Zhuqing attacking from the side, that's why you ended up in this state."
Hearing the Grandmaster's words, Tang San looked astonished.
However, the Grandmaster continued, saying:
"If it were your senior brother, he certainly wouldn't attack me. What I'm worried about is that your senior brother is no longer your senior brother..."
Tang San listened to the Grandmaster's words, suddenly looked up, as if realizing something, and said in a trembling voice:
"You mean..."
Seeing this, the Grandmaster nodded and said:
"Now that I think about it, his slumber over the past six months was probably not solely due to Dugu Bo's poison, but rather because of that strange invasion that gradually changed him."
The one awakening within his body now is probably no longer Little Yan...
The Grandmaster's tone carried a hint of sorrow, seemingly not because of the severe blow he had suffered.
This was the most perfect explanation he could come up with after the Grandmaster and Dai Mubai colluded in the forest.
They pinned everything on Xiao Yan —no, on the person who possessed Xiao Yan's body.
Only Tang San believed it; he was still a renowned Grandmaster, Dai Mubai was still the captain of the Shrek Team!
Even without Xiao Yan, he can still rely on Tang San to prove himself and become famous throughout the continent!
However, the master would not give up so easily, so he kept the matter of Xiao Yan's martial soul a secret.
