"Of course I bought them myself."
Xiao Wu wasn't lying; these items were indeed all bought by her with her own money. The only difference was that she didn't mention the money was given by Shen Fan.
"You bought them yourself?"
"Where did you get the money?"
Tang San wondered if Xiao Wu had gone astray, now daring to accept tens or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins from others.
However, what slightly eased Tang San's mind was that among Shen Fan's group, the only one so generous and capable was Ning Rongrong. So there was no need to worry about Xiao Wu being tricked away by ill-intentioned people with money.
"You don't need to worry about where the money came from."
"But you."
"Why are you stopping me this time?"
Xiao Wu patiently tried to appear reasonable.
"I heard Mubai say that you agreed to join the new team formed by the academy?"
The most important thing now was to get Xiao Wu back to her original team. As for the clothes Xiao Wu was wearing, since Ning Rongrong was a girl, Tang San, after thinking it through, didn't bother to dwell on it anymore.
"Yes."
Xiao Wu answered very straightforwardly.
"Nonsense."
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Seeing that Xiao Wu still hadn't realized her mistake, Tang San's face became even uglier than a ghost's.
"Of course I know what I'm doing."
"There are too many people in the team. To give everyone in the team enough opportunities to show themselves, the academy split the original team into two. Isn't this for our benefit as students?"
"And no matter which team I join, I'm still a member of the Shrek Team. Naturally, I'll join whichever team suits me better."
Xiao Wu's reason was also one of the answers the girls had discussed.
"Utterly preposterous."
"Not to mention the unspoken understanding we've developed over the past few years, just between Mubai and Zhuqing alone…"
Tang San hadn't finished speaking when Yu Xiaogang interrupted him.
"Little San, let's talk in the office."
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Technique was considered a trump card by Yu Xiaogang, and he didn't want Tang San to reveal it in front of so many ordinary students of Shrek Academy who were watching the show.
"Yes, teacher."
Tang San reacted quickly and immediately understood Yu Xiaogang's meaning.
"Then let's talk in the office."
Liu Erlong also didn't want the surrounding students to continue watching the spectacle, and she was even more afraid that Tang San might say something he shouldn't in a fit of impulse, so she stepped forward and said.
"Alright."
Xiao Wu and the two girls exchanged glances, nodded, and then followed Liu Erlong and the others, quickly leaving the spot under the somewhat disappointed gaze of the surrounding students.
Along the way, perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit off, no one in the entire group spoke voluntarily. Fortunately, Flender's office wasn't too far, and soon everyone arrived at his office door.
The next second, as soon as they entered the door, Tang San, who was the most anxious, immediately spoke first.
"To pick up where I left off."
"Xiao Wu, you should know that Zhuqing and Mubai have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. If we're talking about suitability, it's clear that Zhuqing and our team are the most suitable."
"Zhuqing, what do you say?"
At the end, Tang San shifted his gaze from Xiao Wu to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Having a Martial Soul Fusion Technique doesn't necessarily mean it's strong."
"In my opinion, even if Dai Mubai and I use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, we might not be able to defeat Shen Fan alone."
"Tang San, you, who fought Shen Fan and couldn't even retaliate, should know this best, right?"
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing said this, the faces of Tang San and Dai Mubai instantly changed like chameleons, first turning a crimson red, then from red to purple, and finally to a deep black.
"This Zhu Zhuqing is really straightforward."
Watching Zhu Zhuqing render Tang San and Dai Mubai speechless with just a few words, Shen Fan, who was happily watching the show from the side, secretly muttered to himself.
"If it's just for this reason, there's no need for you three to leave the original team."
"In fact, I originally planned to have Shen Fan join the original Shrek Team after this soul hunt."
Yu Xiaogang had no intention of asking Shen Fan if he was willing to join the original Shrek Team. This was his open scheme; as long as Shen Fan was studying at Shrek Academy, he could directly make Shen Fan join the team under the guise of academy arrangements.
At that time, if he could take Shen Fan as his disciple, that would naturally be best. If he truly couldn't, as long as Shen Fan was still in the team, he could still become famous relying on Shen Fan.
"Have Shen Fan join the original Shrek Team?"
"Will he be a main player or a substitute?"
At this moment, before Shen Fan could speak, Ning Rongrong preemptively asked.
"Does that even need to be said?"
"Certainly a main player."
Yu Xiaogang had already considered this question, and he answered without a second's hesitation.
However, what Yu Xiaogang didn't know was that when he unhesitatingly said that Shen Fan would become a main player, Ma Hongjun and Oscar's hearts couldn't help but sink, and even Flender's expression inevitably changed.
And just as Flender was about to say something, Ning Rongrong spoke first again, hitting the nail on the head with her crucial point.
"According to this arrangement, wouldn't the original Shrek Team have an extra main player?"
"When the Elite Competition finals begin, who will play and who will be benched?"
At this point, Ning Rongrong looked at Ma Hongjun and Oscar with full sympathy.
After all, if the changes brought by Shen Fan were not considered, according to the original plan, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, so they wouldn't be benched. Xiao Wu had Tang San, so she wouldn't be benched. Her, Ning Rongrong's, support was absolutely irreplaceable in Shrek Academy, so she also wouldn't be benched. With this calculation, it seemed that one of Ma Hongjun and Oscar would become the unlucky one.
"That's simple."
"At that time, we'll just replace Oscar or Ma Hongjun according to the Spirit Hall Team's configuration."
Yu Xiaogang had also already considered this question, and his answer was naturally the same as before, without a second's hesitation.
"Xiaogang."
"Your arrangement means that Hongjun and Little Ao will become substitutes, doesn't it?"
"This is too unfair to the two children."
"I don't agree with this proposal."
No matter what, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were Flender's true direct disciples, and he certainly wouldn't stand by and watch them suffer without intervening.
"Flender."
"What kind of talk is that?"
"Am I doing this for myself?"
"You need to understand, I'm making this decision entirely for the honor of our Shrek Academy."
Yu Xiaogang said in dissatisfaction.
