"That wasn't me!"
"I'm not apologizing!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot. He felt he had never suffered such a grievance in his life. How had such an enormous pot of blame landed on his head?
"If you don't apologize, I'll expel you from my tutelage!"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with the frustration of someone watching iron refuse to become steel. He, too, was convinced that Tang San had done it.
Who else could use the Dragon Whisker Needle with such consummate skill?
If Tang San admitted his mistake now, Yu Xiaogang could still use his own prestige to mend his relationship with the others at Shrek.
If Tang San continued clinging stubbornly to his mistake, even Yu Xiaogang would have trouble reconciling them. On Douluo Continent, without a team, one could never get far relying on oneself alone.
Hearing that Yu Xiaogang was going to sever their relationship, Tang San finally panicked.
He placed great value on Yu Xiaogang's teaching. He felt that Yu Xiaogang was a great authority on Martial Soul Theory.
The current Yu Xiaogang was someone of great use to him.
Looking again at the furious crowd, Tang San realized that if he didn't shoulder the blame, he would likely break completely with his companions.
Li Zhiyan, it had to be Li Zhiyan!
He had found a path to death!
Tang San thought furiously.
"I..."
"I'm sorry. I admit I was wrong."
Tang San lowered his head, tears of grievance pattering onto the ground.
"So you admit you did it. Crocodile tears. How hypocritical."
Ning Rongrong truly deserved her title of Little Demoness. She immediately twisted the knife in Tang San's wound.
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was also full of contempt as she looked at Tang San. He had used such Hidden Weapons against his own people. How could anyone trust him in the future?
Yu Xiaogang then slapped Tang San several more times in quick succession.
Only afterward did Yu Xiaogang turn to Dai Mubai and the other two.
"Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, I've already taught Tang San a lesson for you. Please forgive him."
The three of them were unwilling to let the matter go.
But they also knew how high Yu Xiaogang's standing was at Shrek Academy. Even Flender generally listened to him.
"Grandmaster, we forgive him. Have Tang San take out these Dragon Whisker Needles for us."
"Mm. Tang San, why haven't you taken out your Dragon Whisker Needles yet?"
Tang San felt as miserable as if he had eaten shit. He stepped forward and used a special technique to remove the three Dragon Whisker Needles.
Getting three Dragon Whisker Needles was the only benefit he had gained.
After the Dragon Whisker Needles were removed from Dai Mubai and the other two, their clenched fists creaked, but they didn't dare strike. The Grandmaster was still there, after all.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, her disappointment reaching its peak.
She had always thought Tang San was a real man, decisive in battle and willing to own up to his actions.
But now it seemed he was nothing special. He had ambushed his classmates and refused to admit it, only confessing to what he had done after everyone closed in on him.
Tang San was so despicable. He really had inherited it from Tang Hao.
Now, Xiao Wu was beginning to believe that the father and son would one day plan to sacrifice her to become Tang San's Soul Ring.
I will never sacrifice myself for Tang San!
The Grandmaster looked at the students, who were all but drawing swords, and said, "I can see that you're all very angry. I'm angry too."
"Little San was indeed wrong to do such a thing."
"But young people are sometimes impulsive. That's quite normal."
"Since Little San has admitted his mistake, let it go."
"When you hunt for Soul Rings, let Little San put in more effort and give you the best Soul Rings first."
"Consider it compensation."
Yu Xiaogang swallowed his pride and mediated between them, so the three had no choice but to hold their noses and accept it.
"We're all good brothers. A little friction is normal. It's fine."
Dai Mubai had also regained much of his composure. For now, he had to maintain a good relationship with Tang San on the surface. Otherwise, there was no telling when he might be hit with another Dragon Whisker Needle. That thing was too vicious.
Tang San agreed on the surface, but inwardly he was aggrieved to the extreme.
Damn it, I clearly hadn't done anything!
Seeing Xiao Wu's distant gaze made him suffer even more. It had to be Li Zhiyan. That was why everyone had turned on him!
What Tang San didn't know was...
The manufacturer responsible for his after-sales service was also under fierce assault at that moment.
In the latter half of the night, Ah Yin finally broke free of Li Zhiyan's embrace and went to the window.
The effects of Succubus Soul Power were not permanent.
So Ah Yin now felt ashamed to the extreme.
She had taken human form twice, and twice she had done such absurd things with Li Zhiyan.
She was Li Zhiyan's elder, and what was more, she still...
"Aunt Yin, what's wrong?"
Li Zhiyan stood up and came to stand behind Ah Yin. Looking at the few pink strands mixed into her blue hair, he still felt a great sense of accomplishment.
That feeling was utterly captivating.
"Xiaoyan, we can't keep going on like this."
Ah Yin desperately wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but she was in human form now and couldn't.
"What's wrong, Aunt Yin?"
"I've given birth to a child. I have a son named Tang San, and there's someone waiting for me in a cave..."
As she spoke, Ah Yin felt even more ashamed.
"Aunt Yin, you've just taken human form. That counts as being reborn. All of that happened in your previous life."
Li Zhiyan stepped forward and took Ah Yin's jade hand.
"Aunt Yin, I don't care about those things."
"I love you very much. I want you to be my woman."
As he spoke, Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms tightly around Ah Yin from behind.
"I'm your elder, and I'm a transformed soul beast. How could I be your woman?"
"Aunt Yin, I don't care about any of that. I just want you, your body and your heart."
Holding Ah Yin, Li Zhiyan turned around, pressing the two of them close together. Up close, his seemingly soul-stealing eyes, the succubus mark on his forehead, and his handsome face made Ah Yin feel her breathing quicken.
Xiaoyan really was so handsome. This feeling made it impossible for her to restrain her instincts.
"Xiaoyan, stop talking nonsense to me."
"Let me go back to Holy Soul Village. There's still someone waiting for me..."
"I'm begging you."
Ah Yin was overwhelmed with shame. The blush spreading across her lovely face made Li Zhiyan's heart flutter as he felt her heartbeat up close.
Li Zhiyan leaned close to Ah Yin's ear, his scorching breath brushing against it. Ah Yin felt hot all over, and her reason was slowly swallowed up again.
"Aunt Yin, I can't bear to let you go."
"I like you so much. I like everything about you."
Li Zhiyan thought it would be better to first exhaust Aunt Yin's Succubus Soul Power and have her return to her Blue Silver Emperor form. That way, he could also gain another special Soul Skill.
Until her heart belonged to him, she would cause him a great deal of trouble.
After all, as a mother, she would certainly stand on Tang San's side.
With that, Li Zhiyan leaned in and kissed Ah Yin.
"Mmph... Xiaoyan, we really can't do this."
Ah Yin was deeply ashamed, but her reason was once again swallowed up by Li Zhiyan's Soul Power.
