"By the way, Little Wu asked me to tell you that she has officially withdrawn from Shrek Academy."
"It's really because it's so male-dominated here, it's not convenient for her as a girl to stay—what do you think?"
Yu Xiaogang's face was calm, but his heart was already raging:
Is this person sick? He looks so young, is he really as mysterious as Hu Lande said?
Looking at his punchable face, if he wasn't stronger, he would really want to go up and slap him twice.
If you want to leave, then leave quickly, and it would be best to take Little Wu far away!
He wished Little Wu wouldn't appear, as long as she didn't hinder Tang San's cultivation!
Speaking of which, after Little Wu left, Tang San cultivated even harder, having just broken through level thirty yesterday, which further solidified the idea in his mind.
Coincidentally, he had just announced that they would go to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow to help Ao Sika and Tang San hunt for Spirit Beasts.
"Withdrawing is a personal freedom. If you're here to show off, then you're overthinking it."
"Shrek never accepts students who are half-hearted and lack a sense of belonging."
"If there's nothing else, please leave."
Jiang Yunzhou also couldn't be bothered to look at his sour face, as if he owed him three cents, and turned to look at Tang San:
"Little San, why do your eyes look like you want to kill me? Oh~ it must be because you really dislike me, right?"
"After all, I'm handsomer and stronger than you, so it's normal for you to be jealous of me."
He reached out and patted Tang San's shoulder.
Tang San angrily slapped his hand away: "I will defeat you! You just wait for me!"
His tone was resolute and full of determination.
"That's wonderful! I'll be waiting, ha~"
"By the way, I'm here to give you Lan Yin Grass, aren't you happy?" Jiang Yunzhou said with a grin, handing over the flowerpot.
Ah Yin subtly released a bit of spirit power, trying to get Tang San's attention.
However, Tang San didn't even think, and with a 'smack,' he directly knocked the flowerpot to the ground!
The flowerpot shattered, and a branch broke... For some reason, although he clearly heard the sound of the flowerpot breaking, he felt as if he heard the sound of a heart breaking.
He suddenly felt some regret, regretting why he had vented his anger on this pot of Lan Yin Grass.
His heart was inexplicably clutched.
He watched Jiang Yunzhou squatting on the ground, tidying up the Lan Yin Grass, and wondered why that Lan Yin Grass felt so familiar to him?
He must have been so angry that he lost his mind to have such a thought.
'Tsk tsk tsk, Tang San, you really are a big genius.' Jiang Yunzhou was laughing hysterically inside.
'Haha~ Ah Yin, look, this is your wonderful son!'
'Alright, you've seen him, and he doesn't want you, so I'll reluctantly take you to play.'
He shook his head and sighed, then pulled out a new flowerpot and unhurriedly replanted Ah Yin.
"Tang San, you really don't want it?"
Tang San was still hesitating, about to reach out for the flowerpot, when he heard Grandmaster furiously scold: "Jiang Yunzhou, please leave!"
"Slap."
Jiang Yunzhou immediately slapped him back.
Yu Xiaogang, the person involved, was stunned by the blow.
"Jiang Yunzhou, you..." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glaring at him angrily.
Tang San quickly went to help Yu Xiaogang up.
Jiang Yunzhou clapped his hands and said, "I've tolerated you several times. If I want to leave, can't I leave by myself? If you keep running your mouth, I'll knock out a tooth."
"Tang San, I came here with good intentions to give you something. Even if you don't want it, you shouldn't have broken it, right?"
Tang San gritted his teeth. If he couldn't beat this person, he would have long since wanted to tear Jiang Yunzhou's mouth apart.
"You're giving me a pot of Lan Yin Grass, nothing more than trying to humiliate me. Do you think I'd fall for it?"
He truly thought so now; the slight regret he felt earlier had vanished after Grandmaster was hit.
"Oh? So that's what you think."
"You think this is Lan Yin Grass, but I say it's your mother!"
Tang San, enraged by these words, glared at Jiang Yunzhou. This person not only humiliated him but also cursed his mother... "Jiang Yunzhou, take your broken grass and leave Shrek Academy. You are not welcome here."
Jiang Yunzhou clicked his tongue twice, looking at Tang San with a hint of sympathy.
"Forget it, you're the one who doesn't want it!"
"Then I'm leaving, don't regret it, ha!" Jiang Yunzhou burst into laughter and strode away.
Watching his receding figure, Tang San's heart suddenly twinged.
It was as if something important was about to leave him again.
But this feeling was quickly suppressed by anger.
Back at Supreme Academy, Jiang Yunzhou began to chatter to the flowerpot:
"See, I wanted to return it to its rightful owner~ but unfortunately, your son doesn't want you."
"Did it hurt when you fell just now? I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be so reckless."
"I'm serious, why don't you just follow me from now on? Anyway, you've already died once, you don't owe them anything, coming back to life is like a brand new factory reset, of course you should live a brand new life!"
"If you agree, how about I try to find a way to help you take human form early?"
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a 'yes'."
At this moment, Ah Yin's heart was in despair; she felt Jiang Yunzhou was like a devil!
Although her heart also trembled when the flowerpot shattered just now.
She clearly emitted a trace of spirit power fluctuation, but no one noticed it except Jiang Yunzhou.
She clearly felt the blood connection, but Tang San had no reaction at all.
She really wanted to jump out and scold Jiang Yunzhou, but she didn't dare; she was too weak.
She had only just regained a little bit of sentience and couldn't withstand any more trouble.
She wanted to escape, but she couldn't.
She knew Jiang Yunzhou was full of hot air, with not a single true word, but these words were like needles piercing her heart.
Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder: Would Brother Hao really take other women 'flying high'?
Otherwise, why wouldn't he come to save her?
Sometimes she also felt confused: Could Tang San really be a borrowed corpse returning to life?
Otherwise, why were his eyes so terrifyingly unfamiliar?
This was not the clarity a teenager should possess; instead, he was unusually mature.
Could it really be as Jiang Yunzhou said?
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it is very difficult to completely remove it.
And she was indeed a little sad just now; she was disliked by her own son, she was broken grass!
Jiang Yunzhou also didn't know if Tang Hao had discovered his home was 'stolen'; he hadn't come looking after so many days, which was quite boring.
He wanted his leg, but he didn't know when he would encounter it.
He didn't know what Ah Yin was thinking, he didn't even know that giving a pot of grass could have such an effect.
What he said to Ah Yin wasn't entirely false either.
He had genuinely considered letting Ah Yin take human form early.
Ah Yin in her mature wife-like form, but if she took human form early, would she be in a maiden's form?
The next morning
Jiang Yunzhou set off for the Star Dou Great Forest with the three girls.
It took them a day to reach the outer perimeter of the forest. They didn't stop to rest but led the team directly deeper.
"Little Wu, now that you're back here, do you feel a sense of familiarity?"
Jiang Yunzhou suddenly spoke, and Little Wu froze.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing next to her were also confused: "Teacher, what are you talking about?"
Little Wu stammered, her eyes darting around: "Teacher, I..."
Jiang Yunzhou patted her shoulder, his tone relaxed: "Speak up, we'll have to come clean sooner or later. If you don't say anything, how can we have the nerve to meet your family?"
Ning Rongrong's curiosity exploded: "What riddle are you two talking about?"
Zhu Zhuqing was also full of questions.
Little Wu took a deep breath and finally mustered the courage to look at her two senior sisters:
"Rongrong, Zhu Qing, actually, I... I am a one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast who took human form. My true body is a Soft Bones Demon Rabbit."
Ning Rongrong & Zhu Zhuqing: "????????????"
PS: Babies, do you have any favorite characters you'd like to be taken as disciples? You can mention them here, and I'll consider adding them to the plot.
