Chapter 40: Xiao Wu's Identity Exposed (Seeking Votes)
"Creak."
As the door creaked open, Flender saw Elder Huo Yuan outside, dressed in red and exuding a seductive aura.
Seeing this bright-faced, 'aggressive' beauty blocking his doorway,
Flender was initially a bit disoriented, stunned for a moment, and before he could think further, he was pushed, and his entire body stumbled backward. "Shrek Academy, Teacher Flender, right?"
As she spoke, Huo Yuan pushed Flender and entered the room, her fiery red eyes fixed on Flender, highly aggressive.
The other members of the Fire Leopard Clan followed closely, and there were even spies from the Evil Eye Magic Tree among them.
He didn't even need to search; the Fire Leopard Clan members themselves led him right to their doorstep.
"I am, but Shrek Academy no longer exists. I am now a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Are you from the Fire Leopard Clan?"
"What do you want with me?"
Initially, he hadn't recognized Huo Yuan, but now seeing the people behind her dressed in Fire Leopard Clan attire, Flender recognized them.
He cast aside all his random thoughts and became serious.
This Elder Huo Yuan, he recalled, was the youngest Elder of the Fire Leopard Clan, having broken through to Spirit Douluo in her forties.
Many even said she had the potential to become a Titled Douluo.
He shouldn't have provoked anyone from the Fire Leopard Clan, should he?
Could it be that Ma Hongjun had taken a liking to another woman?
"Teacher Flender, there's something I need to confirm with you."
At this moment, Huo Yuan had no interest in discussing his identity.
"Does your Shrek Academy still have someone named Xiao Wu?"
She only wanted to know if the news brought by the people outside was true or false.
That way, their Fire Leopard Clan could prepare early and decide which side to support.
If Blue Silver City truly harbored such trouble, their friendly relations might bring problems to the Fire Leopard Clan.
"Xiao Wu?"
Flender was very surprised, wondering why the other party would care about such a minor character as Xiao Wu.
In his opinion, even Tang San was a hundred times more important than the completely unnoticeable Xiao Wu.
"Indeed, there is."
The other party was even introduced by Yu Xiaogang.
"Was she kept by someone from Blue Silver City?"
"Would it be convenient to tell us about the situation at Blue Silver Academy during the day?"
Huo Yuan asked directly; the matter was practically confirmed.
"That's right. Did something happen to Xiao Wu?"
"What is this…?"
Flender, still muddled from drinking, had no idea what the other party meant. He asked, but under her aggressive gaze,
"The situation during the day, they…" Flender still recounted what happened at Blue Silver Academy during the day.
It was something he completely didn't want to recall, a humiliation that shamed him to his core, and Shrek Academy had disbanded because of it. His brothers were also gone.
There was no longer any Golden Triangle.
Upon hearing that Xiao Wu, unlike Tang San and Tang Hao, was taken away alive,
Huo Yuan, standing before him, showed a strange smile.
This indeed counted as a flaw in the day's events.
Lan Tian hadn't considered whether he should fake Xiao Wu's death.
Nor had he expected his situation to be calculated so coincidentally by the Evil Eye Magic Tree. "Thank you, Teacher Flender. I was just trying to understand the situation."
"As for the reason, well, news has spread that Xiao Wu of your Shrek Academy is a 100,000-Year Soul Beast in human form."
"The battle during the day was actually the Blue Silver King trying to capture a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, and then Tang Hao intervened."
Having understood the situation, Huo Yuan wasn't very concerned about who stopped whom, or who was good or evil; that wasn't important.
In any case, the result was that Lan Tian won.
She was more worried about what kind of commotion this sudden appearance of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast would cause. The sacrifice today was only the Blue Silver Emperor on the surface. If it was just one 100,000-Year Soul Beast, perhaps Blue Silver City could quickly digest it and withstand it...
But adding Tang Hao's Spirit Bone, which had long been coveted, and the potential rampage of Spirit Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest,
This Blue Silver City might truly be in great danger.
Especially the final rampage of Spirit Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest; it might truly destroy Blue Silver City's decades of foundation in one fell swoop.
This place was very close to the Star Dou Great Forest; normally, it served as a transit station for Spirit Masters entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
Now, it would be very easy for Spirit Beasts to cause trouble.
"I expect others will come to ask you about the situation as well."
Flender, in front of Huo Yuan, was completely stiff, lost in thought.
"Excuse us, we'll be leaving now."
Huo Yuan had already confirmed the news and didn't care what this fellow was thinking.
After leaving her message, she quickly led her people away.
Anyway, the news was basically confirmed.
Now, the decision was whether or not to continue befriending Blue Silver City.
During the day, Blue Silver City seemed like a rising new star.
At night, Blue Silver City was on the verge of a storm, and no one knew what kind of tempest it would be.
Perhaps their Fire Leopard Clan should also observe the actions of other forces.
They might even cooperate to make Blue Silver City bleed, and then they might even help the other party pin the blame on the Clear Sky Sect.
"Xiao Wu."
"Blue Silver King."
After Huo Yuan and the others disappeared, Flender stood rooted for a moment, completely unaware that there was such a secret during the day. In his eyes, they had merely gone looking for trouble, got beaten, and then Tang Hao suddenly appeared and was defeated.
If that's the case!!
Flender's mind raced, and he quickly reacted, looking back at Oscar and Ma Hongjun, then carried them and quickly left the small tavern.
With such news emerging, who knew what Blue Silver City might do to them?
Leaving the small tavern, there were indeed some rumors spreading outside, and he dared not linger.
He quickly returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's encampment.
He explained the situation to Ning Fengzhi.
After all, they were now members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"A 100,000-Year Soul Beast, I really didn't expect it."
Being woken up late at night by a few drunkards, even Ning Fengzhi was a bit annoyed, but the other party said it was something important, so he still appeared.
And hearing the other party fully explain the situation made him glad he hadn't been lazy. What a sinister old fellow.
Ning Fengzhi already somewhat believed it and even lamented that Lan Tian was truly insidious.
Killing people, stealing Spirit Beasts, and still wanting others to take the blame.
"I said that guy seemed to be hiding something during the day."
Bone Douluo added from the side, a bit displeased.
"A 100,000-Year Soul Beast, what a lot of opportunities there are."
Sword Douluo also sighed, recalling how he had always wanted to find a 100,000-Year Soul Beast but never did.
Yet, Blue Silver City kept producing one after another.
"Are you clear about that Xiao Wu's situation?"
Thousands of thoughts ran through his mind, but on the surface, Ning Fengzhi was very calm. He had felt that the other party had some plan during the day.
But he also wasn't clear about this Xiao Wu's situation and thought Shrek Academy only had those few people.
After all, they had tacitly avoided mentioning Xiao Wu, who was always with Tang San.
In the eyes of others, Xiao Wu seemed like a tool for Tang San, in addition to being a bit naive and domineering.
"She didn't join Shrek Academy long ago. I only know that she came from Nuoding City with Xiaogang and Tang San."
Flender revealed a bit of his brother's intelligence.
"If it really is a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, then it's normal for Tang Hao to know."
"A 100,000-Year Soul Beast would be identified as soon as it appeared before him."
"This matter will have a result once the news spreads."
"If it's false, the Blue Silver King will probably bring Xiao Wu out tomorrow."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo spoke one after another.
Ning Fengzhi calmly pondered, recalling the day's events.
From the moment they were with Dugu Bo, it seemed like they had already prepared for battle.
According to the situation, merely Tang Hao's appearance here wouldn't warrant such preparations.
Many things that he hadn't thought much about before now seemed to connect.
But as Sword Douluo and the others said, if the Blue Silver King simply proved it by bringing that Xiao Wu out in front of them, these Titled Douluo, that would be the best justice.
No one would care about a small Spirit Elder, but a 100,000-Year Soul Beast was different.
And the news that only came out today, if all of this was to pin the blame on the Clear Sky Sect, then Blue Silver City's reputation in the future would likely be completely ruined.
