Chapter 185: Lin Qingmo, you wouldn’t be having an affair with that girl, would you?
Chapter 185: Lin Qingmo, you wouldn’t be having an affair with that girl, would you?
As the room was filled with exclamations of praise, Yu Xiaogang suddenly blurted out—
"As a Spirit Ancestor, winning against a few Spirit Elders is nothing to be proud of."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Everyone was stunned, turning their heads in unison to look at Yu Xiaogang, their gazes as strange as could be.
But Yu Xiaogang acted as if nothing had happened, his face as stern as if someone owed him money, and he continued to lecture:
"Getting so carried away after one win, not knowing how to be low-key at all. If you continue to be so arrogant, you’ll stumble and suffer losses sooner or later."
Xiao Wu was originally pulling Lin Qingmo’s arm and talking, but upon hearing this, her face immediately fell.
She spun around, glaring at Yu Xiaogang, fire practically spewing from her eyes.
Flender frowned.
Looking at his old brother, he felt a pang of discomfort.
Lin Qingmo just brought such great honor to Shrek; everyone is cheering for us. It’s fine if you don’t praise him, but to come and pour cold water with such sarcastic remarks, isn’t that... a bit petty?
"Yu Xiaogang, what do you mean by that?"
Xiao Wu was the first to step out, directly blocking A-Qing and glaring at Yu Xiaogang, her words full of gunpowder.
"A-Qing alone took down seven Spirit Elders from the Royal Fighting Team, winning the Spirit Fight for our Shrek. It’s fine if you don’t praise him, but you’re here making sarcastic remarks?"
"Exactly."
Ning Rongrong immediately followed, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at Yu Xiaogang.
As the Little Witch, she was never ambiguous when confronting people.
"What’s wrong with being a Spirit Ancestor? Look across the entire continent, how many Spirit Ancestors can you find who can defeat seven Spirit Elders alone?"
She paused, her tone becoming even sharper: "Besides, aren’t you known as ’Invincible in Theory’? Then I’d like to ask, do you have the confidence to defeat a team of seven Level 19 Spirit Masters with the strength of a Level 29 Spirit Grandmaster?"
Zhu Zhuqing also took a step forward, standing next to Xiao Wu.
She looked coldly at Yu Xiaogang and added the most hurtful remark: "I’m also very curious about Grandmaster’s strength."
The three of them, one after another, blocked Yu Xiaogang so much that he couldn’t even get a word in.
!!!
His face flushed instantly, from his ears to the base of his neck, and he trembled with anger.
"I..."
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word came out.
He really couldn’t do it.
Stuck at Level 29 for so many years, with Luo San Pao’s farting Spirit Ability, let alone seven Level 19 Spirit Masters, he might not even be able to defeat one.
Being rendered speechless by three young girls in public, he just stood there, his hands trembling.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged glances, both suppressing laughter, watching the show.
Ma Hongjun nudged Oscar with his elbow, lowering his voice: "Holy crap, with these three ladies firing together, Grandmaster is completely speechless now, right?"
Oscar nodded, holding back a laugh: "Serves him right. He came in pouring cold water; isn’t he just asking to be rebutted?"
"If it were me, I’d want to punch him twice."
"Hmph."
Zhao Wuji crossed his arms and sneered.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang’s embarrassed state, his eyes were filled with undisguised disdain.
He already looked down on this so-called "Grandmaster."
Always flaunting his theories everywhere.
He had no real ability himself, but always liked to point fingers at others.
Today’s incident made him realize something even more clearly—this person was pitifully narrow-minded.
"Alas..."
Even Flender, Yu Xiaogang’s close friend, sighed inwardly.
Anyone with eyes could see that Yu Xiaogang had a problem.
But as a close friend, he couldn’t directly say anything.
Yu Xiaogang was in an awkward situation.
Tang San, however, took a step forward, directly shielding Yu Xiaogang behind him.
His gaze was so gloomy it seemed water would drip from it, his eyes fixed on the three girls in front.
His voice was as cold as ice shards as he shouted: "Enough! Don’t insult my teacher!"
"He was the one who spoke out of turn first!" Xiao Wu immediately glared back.
"Teacher was just reminding him not to become arrogant because of one victory, what’s wrong with that?"
Tang San gritted his teeth, his words full of defense.
"Why are you insulting him like this?"
"Why?"
A cold voice rang out.
Lin Qingmo gently shielded the three girls behind him.
He coldly swept his gaze over Tang San and Yu Xiaogang behind him, then suddenly let out a laugh.
"Heh heh."
That laugh was filled with bone-chilling coldness.
"Alright, stop acting out your deep teacher-Disciple bond here."
"I understand now, truly ’like teacher, like Disciple.’ Both teacher and Disciple are of the same character, equally shameless."
Staring at Yu Xiaogang, Lin Qingmo’s mockery was undisguised.
As these words came out.
Tang San’s face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Yu Xiaogang trembled even more with anger.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Tang San sharply rebuked.
"Nonsense?"
Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow and sneered: "Grandmaster Yu, you just said that my win was expected. Isn’t it because the limelight didn’t fall on your precious Disciple, and you’re unhappy about it?"
"I defeated seven Spirit Elders alone; it’s only natural that I won the match."
"Then let your precious Disciple, Tang San, try to fight seven alone."
He then turned his head to look at the ashen-faced Tang San.
"And you, don’t you know how outrageous your teacher’s words are?"
"Just because he teaches you, regardless of whether he’s right or wrong, regardless of whether he’s publicly slandering others, you jump out to protect him, not even distinguishing right from wrong?"
"Are only you two, teacher and Disciple, allowed to frame me in public, but no one else is allowed to say a single bad word about him?"
Lin Qingmo’s eyes were as cold as knives: "What, do all the principles in the world have to revolve around you two, teacher and Disciple?"
This barrage of words made Yu Xiaogang and Tang San’s faces turn pale then green.
The two stood there, trembling with anger.
The people around them looked at them even more strangely.
Flender, even more so, had a splitting headache.
On one side was his old brother with whom he had shared life and death, and on the other, a Genius rarely seen in the academy for a hundred years.
He didn’t know whether to mediate or not.
Just as he was racking his brains on how to smooth things over, a female voice suddenly came from the side.
"Excuse me, Azure Star, would it be convenient to chat privately for a moment?"
A figure wearing a Heaven Dou Royal Academy team uniform walked straight through the crowd towards Shrek’s resting area.
With high green hair tied up and a hint of habitual arrogance in her eyes, it was Dugu Yan.
Xiao Wu stopped mid-bite on her carrot, stood up straight with a’snap,’ her rabbit ears perked up, warily staring at the approaching Dugu Yan.
Not just her, but the other Shrek members also turned their attention.
Dai Mubai frowned, tightening his crossed arms: "Dugu Yan? What is she doing here? The Royal Fighting Team and us aren’t exactly on friendly terms."
Oscar stroked his chin, a look of gossip on his face.
"That’s strange, why isn’t she looking for people from the Royal Fighting Team, but running over to us? She can’t be here to provoke or retaliate, can she?"
Ning Rongrong put down her juice cup, raised an eyebrow with interest, her gaze shifting back and forth between Dugu Yan and Lin Qingmo.
"Things might not be so simple~"
Zhu Zhuqing also lifted her eyes.
Her cold gaze fell on Dugu Yan.
In the crowd, Ma Hongjun leaned towards Dai Mubai, winking suggestively.
"Damn, Boss Dai, Lin Qingmo wouldn’t already be having an affair with this Royal Fighting Team girl, would he?"
"Otherwise, why would she ignore her own team members and specifically come looking for him? No wonder he absolutely refused to go on stage during the first Spirit Fight; turns out he’d already colluded with the other side?"
His voice wasn’t particularly low, just loud enough for Xiao Wu next to him to hear clearly.
As soon as these words fell.
Xiao Wu suddenly turned her head.
Her eyes were bloodshot, glaring fiercely at Ma Hongjun, her teeth grinding audibly.
"Chicken! If you spout one more word of nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart right now and rip off that pathetic chicken comb of yours!"
Ma Hongjun recoiled, shrinking his neck, and quickly dodged backward.
He still grumbled defiantly: "I was just saying, otherwise why would she specifically look for Lin Qingmo...?"
