"Snake Woman, stop with the nonsense. Teacher Xin already told us not to disturb his students absorbing spirit rings. Now scram."
"Do you know who our Teacher Xin is? He's the Headmaster of Heart of Fire Academy, and all the Disciples he teaches are exceptional talents, rare geniuses."
"Even if your old man were here, he'd have to be respectful. Do you think Teacher Xin would consider you anyone important? Don't disturb Teacher Xin 's peace here!"
"This Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent is Little Ao's."
Zhao Wuji, with a fierce expression, reprimanded Chao Tianxiang.
These words infuriated both Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran.
Chao Tianxiang's Face darkened.
Meng Yiran's pretty Face also showed some indignation, and she couldn't help but speak up for her grandparents:
"My grandparents are known as the Peerless Dragon and Snake. Together, they can even fight a Titled Douluo. Can you stop spouting nonsense? You're truly unreasonable!"
Xiao Wu looked a bit confused and said to Tang San beside her: "Third Brother, wasn't Teacher Zhao severely injured by this Teacher Xin before? He's been cursing Teacher Xin behind his back all this time, so why is he helping Xin so much today?"
"Shh."
Tang San made a shushing gesture, indicating Xiao Wu to be quieter:
"Teacher Zhao is trying to elevate Xin. We just need to watch."
"Elevate Xin?"
Xiao Wu still didn't quite understand. Even with a hundred-thousand-year rabbit brain, she couldn't quite grasp it.
Chao Tianxiang took a deep breath, calming her anger, and gazed at Zhao Wuji, saying: "Zhao Wuji, you don't need to stir up trouble. If my old man were here, would you still dare to be so arrogant? At that time, you'd be the first one I'd teach a lesson to."
"Hehe."
"You little girl, what right do you have to interrupt when elders are speaking?"
"This Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent was severely injured by me, so it should rightfully belong to us, Shrek. This Snake Woman couldn't defeat me, so she's trying to distort the facts and use your influence to snatch it. She truly has ulterior motives."
"Snake Woman, you've miscalculated. Teacher Xin is from a neighboring academy and is very friendly with us, Shrek. No matter what you say, you won't fall into your trap."
"Teacher Xin, we'll be leaving now. We won't disturb your peace."
Zhao Wuji sneered, intending to leave directly with the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.
This Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent had already been beaten half to death by him. If he didn't find an opportunity for Little Ao to finish it off soon, it would likely be wasted.
Moreover, with Xin present, and their hostility with the Snake Woman, if the Dragon Duke really came, it would be bad. This place was not suitable for staying long.
It was best to stir up trouble and let the Dragon Duke and Snake Woman seek an explanation from Xin.
This move was taught to him by Flender.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person. Zhao Wuji's attitude was so good this time that others might genuinely be too embarrassed to refuse him.
But Xin's eyes narrowed, and he directly shot a Red Great Sword from his hand, which landed in front of Zhao Wuji, preventing him from taking the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent away.
Seeing that Red Great Sword, Zhao Wuji's heart thumped violently, and a bad premonition arose.
Xin said calmly: "Originally, I didn't want to interfere in this matter, but you've talked a bit too much, and now I want to."
This Zhao Wuji was truly cunning. No wonder the Snake Woman said he had a notorious reputation before. This was clearly an attempt to make the Snake Woman think he was in league with Zhao Wuji, so that when Zhao Wuji ran off with the Shrek people, he would be left to take the blame and Face the wrath of the Dragon Duke and Snake Woman.
"I'll give you two choices. One, you leave this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent. Two, we settle it according to the rules of the Spirit Master's world: a fight."
"One, one, one, one, I choose one."
"We'll leave this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent!"
