"I don't know," Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.
"Me neither," Xiao Wu said, her face full of confusion.
"Don't you feel your condition has recovered?" Zhao Wuji asked.
"We do, but I don't know why," Xiao Wu replied, looking innocent.
Zhao Wuji carefully examined Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's faces, but he couldn't see anything.
Zhao Wuji waved his hand, impatiently saying, "You have an hour to rest. Eat if you want to eat, and recover your soul power if you want to recover your soul power. We set off again in an hour."
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing said, "Xiao Wu, I want to go to the restroom. Can you come with me?"
"Alright."
The place they were at was a wilderness. Not far away were some tall grass, reaching almost to people's heads. Zhu Zhuqing pulled Xiao Wu towards it.
Ning Rongrong's expression shifted slightly. She seemed to have thought of something and followed them.
She guessed that Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu might discuss the mysterious event that had just happened. She was also very curious about why Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had miraculously recovered their soul power and stamina.
The three girls went about thirty or forty meters away, their bodies hidden by the tall grass.
Zhao Wuji quietly spread his mental power over there, also twitching his ears, wanting to hear what Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing would say.
He suspected that these two girls weren't completely clueless; they just didn't want to talk about it.
If he could grasp the secret of automatic soul power and stamina recovery, it would be a huge opportunity.
As a Soul Saint with seventy-six ranks, Zhao Wuji's mental power was unmatched by anyone present, except for Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na. Not even Tang San had noticed Zhao Wuji eavesdropping.
Ao Tian suddenly chuckled, "Teacher Zhao, I didn't realize you were such a pervert, listening in on three female students urinating. Aren't you ashamed?"
Tang San and Oscar immediately turned their heads to look at Zhao Wuji, their faces etched with surprise.
Startled, Zhao Wuji instantly withdrew his mental power. A flicker of unease crossed his face, a sign of guilt, but he quickly concealed it.
He was puzzled. How had Ao Tian detected him? Only a Soul Master with mental power comparable to his own could possibly do that, yet Ao Tian was only at rank thirty-one, his mental power surely far weaker.
Oscar missed Zhao Wuji's momentary lapse, but Tang San's keen observation skills didn't.
Could Teacher Zhao really be a pervert? Tang San wondered.
Zhao Wuji's expression darkened. He said in a low voice, "Ao Tian, do you have any proof? Do you know the consequences of falsely accusing your teacher?"
Ao Tian said, "I have no proof, but I've heard a saying: Heaven sees what you do. Be careful of retribution when you do bad things."
"You little brat, you're asking for a beating, aren't you?" Zhao Wuji roared.
His dignity as a Soul Saint was being challenged again and again by a Soul Elder. With his fiery temper, how could he bear it?
He had beaten up Dai Mubai's little group countless times before. He felt it was time to establish his authority in front of these new recruits, or else these newbies would run wild. Zhao Wuji was already displeased when Ao Tian and the four girls threatened Flender with withdrawing from the academy yesterday. He disliked this kind of pampered attitude. Since they came to Shrek Academy, they had to behave.
"Ao Tian's in trouble," Oscar whispered.
Tang San frowned, considering whether to intervene if Zhao Wuji really decided to teach Ao Tian a lesson. Judging from Zhao Wuji's subtle facial expressions, he suspected that Ao Tian was right. But even if he intervened, he might not be able to defeat Zhao Wuji.
Last time, Zhao Wuji was careless. This time, prepared, Zhao Wuji definitely wouldn't give him a chance to use hidden weapons.
Ao Tian wasn't at all flustered by Zhao Wuji's intimidation, and he smiled, "Is Teacher Zhao feeling guilty?"
Zhao Wuji glared at Ao Tian. The aura of a Soul Saint emanated from him, pressing down on Ao Tian. He roared, "If I don't teach you a lesson today, my name isn't Zhao Wuji!"
"Teacher Zhao, what are you doing?" A sharp cry came from a distance. Xiao Wu, along with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, came running back.
Zhao Wuji's momentum faltered, and he didn't immediately attack.
Ao Tian chuckled. "I just said that Teacher Zhao was eavesdropping on you three while you were... relieving yourselves, and now he can't help but want to teach me a lesson."
Ao Tian wasn't wrong. Zhao Wuji had wanted to eavesdrop on Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's secret of automatic recovery. If the three girls had actually been... well, he would have heard it.
Xiao Wu always unconditionally trusted Ao Tian. As soon as he finished speaking, she glared at Zhao Wuji and said, "Teacher Zhao, I didn't expect you to be such a vulgar person."
"You misunderstand, I didn't." Zhao Wuji said hurriedly.
"Teacher Zhao, I didn't expect you to be so perverted. I'm going to tell the Dean when I get back, and I'll also write a letter to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Ning Rongrong said.
Ning Rongrong's words were devastating. Zhao Wuji's aura immediately deflated. He said, "I really didn't intend to eavesdrop on you... you've misunderstood."
He was scared. He was afraid that Ning Rongrong would really report this matter back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two Title Douluo elders!
Ning Rongrong's surname was Ning, and the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also surnamed Ning. Furthermore, he'd heard there was a daughter in her prime. On the first day Ning Rongrong arrived, Zhao Wuji had already guessed her identity.
He had just been beaten up by a Title Douluo a few days ago and didn't want to be chased by two Title Douluo in the near future.
Ao Tian said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, then let it go. Ning Rongrong, don't write a letter back to the sect, look at how scared Teacher Zhao is..."
"Alright," Ning Rongrong said.
She still valued Ao Tian's words very much because she was grateful to Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na, and they were Ao Tian's women; they listened to everything he said.
They still had half a day's journey ahead, and she still had to rely on Gu Yue Na to carry her.
Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You guys are free to do whatever you want. I'll take a walk around, and we'll set off in an hour."
After speaking, he hurried away. Being toyed with like that by a few little brats, even with his thick skin, he couldn't stay any longer.
However, a surge of anger welled up in his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.
After Zhao Wuji left, Xiao Wu asked, "Ao Tian, is that Zhao Wuji really that perverted?"
Ao Tian shook his head and said, "I think he was curious about how your soul power and stamina automatically recover, so he was eavesdropping."
"Ah—then didn't he hear us… those sounds?" Ning Rongrong was immediately both ashamed and angry.
As a girl, knowing that someone had been listening to those kinds of sounds made her feel incredibly awkward.
Oscar quickly said, "Rongrong, don't worry, Teacher Zhao was discovered by Ao Tian right away."
Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Oscar, and said, "Shouldn't you be on Zhao Wuji's side, defending him?"
Oscar immediately puffed out his chest and said, "I, Oscar, still have a sense of justice. Teacher Zhao was indeed in the wrong. Even though we've known each other for years, I won't defend him."
"You're still a man," Ning Rongrong said.
Oscar was immediately excited, and his mind began to wander.
Is she praising me? Does she admire me a little? Looks like I still have a chance... Oscar couldn't help but think.
Unfortunately, Ning Rongrong didn't look at him again.
