Chapter 81 Shrek Academy! Release Tang Wulin!
Meanwhile, upon hearing the title of Shrek Academy's inner court disciple...
The group of evil spirit masters looked at each other, a sense of vigilance rising in their hearts.
However, they shared the same thought as Ma Xiaotao: this was the far north, a desolate and uninhabited place.
Neither side knows the other's strength, and both sides have urgent matters to attend to.
It's not worth fighting an encounter battle, and there's no need for it.
Therefore, both sides tacitly chose to maintain a superficial politeness.
The leader stepped forward and said, "So you are the prodigy of Shrek Academy. We have been blind to your talent. Our apologies."
Ma Xiaotao frowned and said, "Stop with all that beating around the bush, did you see him?"
The older brother frowned and said, "This far north is a vast, frigid land stretching for thousands of miles. How could a child possibly be here?"
We only saw one kid from the first ring in the far north, on the very edge of the region. Is the person you're looking for related to him?
Ma Xiaotao frowned and asked, "First Ring? What does he look like? What are his abilities?"
The older man said, "He's quite handsome, but not particularly striking. His eyes have a cold, piercing quality, and he has a strong fighting spirit."
Besides that, I don't know anything else. What is the identity of the child you are looking for?
Ma Xiaotao said, "First Ring? That's such a waste, it can't be him. I'm looking for a student from our academy."
At this point, communication between the two sides reached a bottleneck, and it became unlikely that either side would be able to extract any more effective information.
As he pondered, a thought flashed through the man's mind: "Could she be the one who sent us here?"
So, the older man tentatively asked, "May I ask, why did this prodigy come to such a desolate place? Perhaps it's related to why we're here?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao frowned. The thought that their academy's students were involved with evil spirit masters was something she instinctively wanted to deny.
But then he thought again, Tang Wulin's reputation was more important than anything else, so he decided to answer.
But then she thought again that what she was thinking didn't seem to matter, because she didn't know why Tang Wulin would come to such a place. To be honest, she had never been to the far north in her life, and she didn't know who would have nothing better to do than come to such a place.
She wanted to answer "I don't know," but that answer would make her seem like she was stalking someone, and then lost them altogether. While that was indeed the case, to avoid further embarrassment, Ma Xiaotao said:
"Hmph, do you think I'd tell you, you evil spirit masters?"
But she didn't expect that her words, which were just a casual remark to save face and she thought were nothing, would suddenly cause a great shock to the evil spirit masters present.
The eldest brother remained silent, thinking to himself, "Is she not going to talk? Is it because she doesn't want to, or is she afraid to? What we're doing right now can't be known to outsiders, especially not to His Highness the Holy Son. This Shrek girl is being so vague; she probably has some kind of conspiracy against us. If she's involved with that person, no, she's too suspicious. We must take action."
Seeing that Ma Xiaotao had no intention of continuing the discussion and was about to leave, the older man frowned and said:
"Wait a minute, you probably can't leave yet."
Hearing the man's tone suddenly change, Ma Xiaotao turned around and said with a sharp look in her eyes, "What? Is there something else?"
The older brother remained silent, pondering how to find a reason to keep her here. And so, he found one.
His gaze swept downwards, and the eldest brother's expression suddenly changed. He saw Tang Wulin, who was being carried by Ma Xiaotao and dangling in the wind like a paper doll. Tang Wulin had his head down and was wearing a mask, so his face was obscured. The eldest brother didn't recognize him either, but he did see the pattern on Tang Wulin's clothes. It was the pattern of their Holy Spirit Sect, and it must be something very special.
So the man cupped his hands and said, "My friend from Shrek, where did you get this person from?"
Ma Xiaotao's heart skipped a beat, as if she had also thought of something. A subtle light flashed in her eyes, and Ma Xiaotao asked, "What? You know him?"
The elder brother said, "I wouldn't say I know him, but the pattern on this person's clothes looks like one of my disciples. You've arrested our disciple, shouldn't you explain this to us?"
