Chapter 168: Who's coming?
At this moment, at Shrek Academy, the Shrek Eight Devils and their replacements gathered in the academy's private lounge.
"Brother Mo, I've been wanting to ask you something."
Ma Hongjun tilted his head. "A few days ago, you and Third Brother were talking about how this matter was related to the Spirit Hall. I wanted to ask then, but you said there were too many people around, so I didn't mention it. And then I forgot about it. It just so happens that I have some free time now, so I wanted to ask why they're interfering."
It turned out that a few days ago, Xuan Mo and Tang San had been discussing the possibility that not only would Canghui Academy cause trouble, but the Spirit Hall would also be involved.
As this question was asked, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be lost in thought. Oscar and Ma Hongjun were completely bewildered. In their opinion, the two had nothing to do with each other, so why would the Spirit Hall interfere?
Xuan Mo couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he explained.
"That's easy to say. Publicly, Spirit Hall is one of the factions hosting the tournament, and its Platinum Bishop, Sarath, is a member of the organizing committee. If Canghui Academy files a complaint, they'll naturally be sent down to adjudicate."
After a pause, Xuan Mo's gaze deepened. "As for personal matters, Shrek has already offended Spirit Hall. So, I don't need to explain their purpose for coming here."
Xuan Mo's words directly clarified the conflict, so even Ma Hongjun and Oscar understood.
"Doesn't this give Spirit Hall an opportunity and an excuse to suppress Shrek Academy?"
"Bang!"
"You little brats are here!"
As Ma Hongjun spoke, Liu Erlong rushed in, her expression grim.
The first thing he did after coming in was to glance at everyone. Seeing that everyone was there, he said, "I heard what you said outside. Actually, you guessed right. Just now, Salas from the Spirit Hall, with the name of the competition organizing committee, came to our door without any prior notice. Now Boss Fu, Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji have already gone there."
Seeing Liu Erlong's expression, Xuan Mo frowned and said firmly, "They are not here with good intentions. They are here to call for an explanation!"
Liu Erlong nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Tang San, whose face was rosy and spirited, and dragged him over without hesitation. Then he looked at everyone and warned them.
"Since Xiao San was the one who attacked that match, he must be present. However, those of you who participated in the match, during the time Spirit Hall is away, are not allowed to leave the room."
Then, he turned his attention to Xuan Mo. "Xiao Mo, no matter what, you cannot let them leave the room. Understand?"
Xuan Mo naturally understood the priorities. After giving Liu Erlong a clear answer, Liu Erlong left with Tang San.
However, as they were leaving...
"Xiao San, you're not in good shape right now. You don't look seriously injured."
"Bang!"
"Teacher Erlong, how about this?"
"Not yet. That would put us at a disadvantage in the negotiation. Just bear with the pain, and I'll do it myself."
"Bang! Boom! Boom!"
"Teacher Erlong, you...hiss..."
Xiao Wu watched Tang San's receding figure, a look of worry on her face.
"Is Brother San okay?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. The Spirit Hall isn't the only one in the tournament organizing committee."
Seeing this, Xuan Mo gave Ning Rongrong a look. After all, he wasn't good at comforting girls.
Ning Rongrong immediately understood and slowly took Xiao Wu's right hand. "You know, my father is also a member of the tournament organizing committee. He'll protect Third Brother, so don't worry."
But what Xiao Wu said next stunned the Shrek students present.
Xiao Wu turned to look at Xuan Mo. "No, that's not what I'm worried about."
Then, pointing at Tang San and the others as they walked away, she said, "I'm just worried that Third Brother will be beaten to death by his godmother before he even arrives..."
Meanwhile, at the Shrek Academy gate, a woman stood before the gate and said, "Go inform Xuan Mo or Tang San of your academy that their opponent is coming!"
The two Shrek students on duty at the gate looked hesitant.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go get some instructions."
After whispering a few words, they had one of them quickly run back to the academy to inform Xuan Mo and the others.
On the other side, after the woman saw someone go to notify, she glanced at the man next to her, "Why are you here too? Tell me, who told you?"
"Well... I came here specifically to find Tang San. It's probably just a coincidence that we met."
The man's expression was obviously a little embarrassed, but after a while his face returned to normal, and he said it without blushing or beating his heart.
"Humph!"
Hearing this, the woman was too lazy to expose her, but just took a few steps to the side and kept a long distance from the man.
Seeing this, the man was not annoyed, but just looked at the woman next to him with a smile on his face, with tenderness and... "obsession" in his face.
...
"Alas! I don't know how the third brother is doing?"
Seeing that quite a while had passed, Ma Hongjun paced back and forth relentlessly around the room, blinding countless other Shrek members.
"Fatty, could you please stop? You're blinding me!"
Dai Mubai shouted at Ma Hongjun.
"Don't call me Fatty, call me Brother Jun. Besides, I'm only here because I'm worried about Third Brother. Are you... Ouch!"
Just as Ma Hongjun was about to retort, a familiar chicken leg bone struck the back of his head. Looking in the direction, he saw Xuan Mo slouched in a chair.
"Come on, Brother Jun? Worried about Little Third? I see you're just suffocating here. But forget it now! Don't even think about leaving until the competition committee leaves."
Xuan Mo shook the wine gourd in his hand, ruthlessly exposing Ma Hongjun's true intentions.
Just as Ma Hongjun was about to retort, a student pushed the door open without even knocking.
"Brother Mo, this is bad! Someone's here looking for trouble, but the dean and the others are busy right now. And from what they said, it seems they're specifically looking for you and Senior Tang San."
"Oh! Who is it!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and before Xuan Mo could reply, he immediately rushed to the front of the students.
"Whoever it is, you have to stay here."
Xuan Mo suddenly stood up from his recliner. It turned out that while he had seemed bored earlier, he had actually been fuming for a long time, and now was the perfect time.
Seeing Ma Hongjun rushing in, he grabbed him and pulled him behind him, then glanced at Dai Mubai and the others, who were about to make a move, with a warning look.
"You've all participated in the competition, so stay here. Don't forget, this is Teacher Erlong's order."
At the mention of "Liu Erlong," those who had been about to retort to Xuan Mo suddenly faltered. After all, Liu Erlong's nickname "Slaughter Horn" wasn't earned for nothing.
"Mo, isn't it too difficult for you to go alone?"
Seeing Xuan Mo's excited look, Ning Rongrong suggested with some concern: "How about we go together?"
Originally Xuan Mo was going to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed, "Okay, then Xiao Ao, you watch over Fatty and the others, don't let them go out."
"Ah? Why me again!"
"If it's not you, then it's still me. You keep an eye on them."
After speaking, Xuan Mo looked at the student.
"Let's go together. I want to see who is coming to Shrek to cause trouble at this time?"
"Brother Mo, I heard from that man and woman that they seem to be rivals of you and Senior Tang San, so they came here specifically to find you."
"Oh? My rivals?"
Xuan Mo walked with a look of surprise on his face. "It seems that in my memory, there seems to be no girls who have fought with me and are considered my rivals?"
Ning Rongrong saw this and couldn't help but say: "Maybe it's Brother San's? Besides, the dean and the teachers in the college are all busy now, so let's go and see what's going on."
"That's true..."
