Chapter 230 So Let Them Have Their Wish.
"Xuanmo! Look, that's Spirit City!"
The day before the Losers' Bracket competition began.
At the foot of the hill where Spirit City was located, not far away, a young couple arrived.
They were Xuanmo and Ning Rongrong, returning from their Soul Hunting adventure.
However, compared to Ning Rongrong's pretty face beaming with a smile, Xuanmo looked troubled and unwilling.
"So, Rongrong, why did we have to leave on our own when we were almost at Spirit City?" It turned out that just a day earlier, when Xuanmo and Ning Rongrong were about to reach Spirit City, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin suddenly made a decision to leave them behind.
The explanation was that they had something to do and had to go ahead, so the two of them had to travel alone.
But this explanation sounded ridiculous, a complete excuse, especially since Ning Rongrong had mentioned it to Ning Fengzhi and they immediately made this decision.
"What, you don't want to?!"
Seeing Xuan Mo's expression as if he saw right through her, Ning Rongrong ignored him and questioned him matter-of-factly.
Xuan Mo opened his mouth, but before he could utter a single syllable, Ning Rongrong gave a resentful snort, then grabbed Xuan Mo's arm and asked, "Are you disgusted with me?"
The moment she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong's resentful expression changed instantly, faster than flipping through a book. She released Xuan Mo's arm, pointed at his nose, and yelled, "Tell me! What do you mean?! Don't you want me anymore?! And if it weren't for this opportunity, you're such a busy person, how would you have time to spend with me?!"
By the end, Ning Rongrong's tone was sarcastic, and staring at Xuan Mo made him feel like his whole body was going to tingle.
Xuan Mo naturally understood the meaning behind Ning Rongrong's words; he was indeed in the wrong, so he could only offer an awkward smile. However, at this moment, Xuan Mo felt somewhat helpless.
After all, Ning Rongrong's current state and actions were undoubtedly related to him, the "good man," a perfect example of "learning by doing."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's expression remain unchanged, Xuan Mo quickly apologized, making up a reason instead.
"Hmph! Since you admit your mistake, I'll forgive you this time."
Seeing Xuan Mo apologize and admit defeat, Ning Rongrong smiled contentedly, then suddenly hugged Xuan Mo's arm again, rubbing herself against his clothes affectionately.
Xuan Mo looked at Ning Rongrong with doting eyes.
He didn't care at all about his previous apologies and begging; he wanted to cherish his wife, after all, love is unconditional.
"Mo, let's hurry to Wuhun City."
Ning Rongrong looked up at Xuan Mo's doting face, her pretty face slightly flushed. She had just realized that she and Xuan Mo hadn't washed up since returning to Shrek Academy, meaning she hadn't groomed herself for several days.
Xuan Mo grinned. "What? Can't hold back anymore?"
"Hmph! I'm a girl, after all."
Ning Rongrong's already flushed face turned even redder upon hearing this, and she gave a coquettish snort, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Then let's go."
Before Ning Rongrong could react, Xuan Mo swept her up in a princess carry amidst her exclamation.
He picked her up, gave her a quick "dragonfly skimming the water," and then, amidst Ning Rongrong's coquettish snort, quickly headed towards the location of Wuhun City.
"Haha, let's go see Fatty and Xiao San!"
Afternoon.
Wuhun City's contestant area.
Shrek Academy's accommodations.
"Master, why did we withdraw from the individual competition?"
"Yeah, Uncle Xiao Gang. Such a great opportunity for a big battle, and it just slipped through my fingers."
At this moment, facing the master's decision, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the other hot-tempered guys immediately expressed their confusion and a hint of dissatisfaction.
Even Mu Lin wasn't surprised. However, Mu Lin's dissatisfaction stemmed solely from the decision Grandmaster had made, which meant this battle maniac had missed a fight—nothing more.
Grandmaster, upon hearing this, remained silent, a flush rising to his stiff face, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "I didn't want this. But even I didn't expect the Spirit Hall to resort to such despicable and shameless methods."
"Huh?"
Hearing Grandmaster's words, everyone except Tang San was utterly bewildered.
Then, after Tang San and Grandmaster gave a detailed explanation, the Shrek Seven Devils and Mu Lin finally understood what had happened.
"Good heavens!"
Dai Mubai slammed his hand on the table.
"If Blazing Fire and Divine Wind were merely merging to deal with us, we wouldn't have any objections, after all, we've already hired Mu Lin as an ally. But the Spirit Hall wants to use this opportunity to interfere again—how despicable!"
"The Spirit Hall is clearly trying to use this opportunity to force us to reveal our full strength, paving the way for their championship in the finals."
Oscar, unlike usual, calmly combined Tang San and Grandmaster's words to point out the Spirit Hall's intentions.
However, just then, "Bang!"
Grandmaster's door was pushed open. "Since the Spirit Hall wants to know our strength, they might as well not hold back!"
"Brother Mo! Rongrong!"
The moment they saw the figure enter, the room, which had just fallen silent, erupted into cheers and expressions of concern, like a tap being turned on. The cheers continued without pause.
After a long while...
"So, Xuanmo, what's your plan?"
Xuanmo glanced at Grandmaster, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Intrigue and trickery are meaningless in the face of true strength, so let's just sweep through."
"Hmm?"
Grandmaster glanced at him.
"Since the Spirit Hall wants to find out the true strength of our Shrek Academy team through them, then we might as well grant their wish..."
A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Grandmaster's face after hearing Xuanmo's words.
"Fine! If they really think this can stop our progress, then they underestimate us. I hope they won't be shocked when they learn the true strength of Shrek Academy tomorrow..."
