248: Chapter 248 Are you dead?

Xiao Wu left the private booth with great enthusiasm, her heart full of drive.

This cheap father of hers was actually going to give her a reward.

Mother also said so.

Once she got the blueprints for the spirit tools...

She wouldn't even need to Cultivate to become a powerhouse at the Spirit Emperor or even Spirit Saint level.

Xiao Wu's eyes were beaming with joy.

If she could increase her Soul Power just by lying around without having to Cultivate, it would be absolutely amazing.

“Xiao Wu!”

“Hmm?”

Hearing someone call her name, Xiao Wu looked toward the sound. Seeing it was Tang San, she immediately put on a stern Face: “Little San, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for ages, and you only show up now...”

“I...”

The words Tang San was anxious to say were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Xiao Wu continued relentlessly: “Do you know someone was catching rabbits for fun? Sister Xiao Wu went over to teach him a lesson, but where were you then? Where did you go, leaving Sister Xiao Wu to Face it alone? Tell me, what’s your deal...”

Xiao Wu immediately shifted the blame onto him.

Tang San was momentarily unable to respond, standing there helplessly.

But he breathed a sigh of relief; so Xiao Wu had gone to save rabbits.

He knew this about her; Xiao Wu couldn't stand seeing people eat spicy rabbit heads.

Seeing that her scolding was sufficient, Xiao Wu tilted her chin up: “If you do this again, Sister Xiao Wu will ignore you!”

“Yes, yes, it won't happen again!” Tang San scratched the back of his head.

“You’re thinking of a next time?” Xiao Wu glared at him fiercely.

Tang San immediately changed his tune: “No, there will definitely be no next time!”

On their way back...

Tang San thought of the woman he had just seen in the booth.

She bore some resemblance to Xiao Wu.

He couldn't help but ask a question.

“Xiao Wu, is your mother dead?”

Tang San remembered that Xiao Wu's mother was indeed dead, but so many things had happened lately.

This made him unable to stop his mind from wandering toward possibilities he shouldn't be thinking about.

Xiao Wu's mother might still be alive.

“Little San, what do you mean by that?”

Xiao Wu asked with a frown.

What do you mean, 'is your mother dead'?

Isn't it your mother who's dead?

“Xiao Wu, I didn't mean anything by it. I just felt like there was a woman who looked a bit like you. It might be my imagination, but I felt she might be related to you.”

Seeing Xiao Wu was about to get angry, Tang San quickly explained.

“Humph!”

“Don't go around thinking just anyone is my mother. My mother is only my mother, others are not my mother...”

Xiao Wu gave a cold snort and strode away quickly, looking like she didn't want to talk to him at all anymore.

Tang San panicked and followed behind her, saying sweet things to appease her.

When they returned to Shrek Academy, everyone was gathered at the dormitory entrance, each with a different expression. Ning Rongrong was suppressing a laugh, while the others had strange looks—some sympathetic, some worried—and Zhu Zhuqing looked thoughtful and bewildered.

“Tang San, Xiao Wu, you're back!”

Yu Xiaogang hesitated to speak.

“Teacher, what's going on?”

“Little San, you've come back at the right time. Hurry over and take a look.”

When Flender saw Tang San arrive, he shouted urgently, “Is there any hope left for Mubai?”

Tang San understood what was happening. No wonder everyone was gathered here; it turned out Dai Mubai's condition had not improved.

Following Flender into the room, he could still hear the man's complaining voice: “The Healing Soul Master we brought in just took a casual look and said the previous one was incompetent. Since it was cut, why leave behind fragments...”

“The guy wanted to cut it clean, but Mubai wouldn't agree. In the end, he just did some random treatment and charged ten gold coins. He's more of a swindler than I am! If he weren't the best Healing Soul Master in Suotuo City, I definitely wouldn't have let them walk out of Shrek Academy!”

At this moment, Dai Mubai lay on the bed, his Face pale as a sheet.

Sweat soaked his clothes, his hands clutched his lower body, the veins on his forehead bulged, and painful moans escaped his lips from time to time.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender looked at each other; they were completely out of options and could only place their hopes on Tang San.

Tang San said seriously, “Dean, I need to take off Mubai's pants to take another look.”

Flender nodded. When Tang San moved to do so, Dai Mubai didn't resist at all, his eyes filled with pleading.

“This...”

“Dean, that person was right!”

“With only fragments left, it would be better to cut it clean!”

Tang San suppressed his disgust: “Mubai, I am also powerless. My medical skills are limited!”

Flender sighed deeply: “Mubai, did you hear that? Little San really can't do anything. It's just losing a brother, isn't it? From now on, Hongjun will be your brother, and Little Ao will be your second brother.”

“No, no!”

Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted agitatedly.

Flender frowned and went up to give him a slap: “I haven't used mine in over ten years, and it's not like anything's wrong!”

“Dean, perhaps there is one more way!”

“I saw Ye Lingling when I was coming back.”

“Her Spirit is the Nine Heart Begonia. This Spirit possesses powerful self-healing abilities. Even though Ye Lingling's Soul Power is currently low and she can't fully restore Dai Mubai, she can at least try; there might be some hope.”

“Or perhaps we could get Ye Lingling's mother to act. According to my speculation, the head of the Ye Family is at least a Spirit Saint. A Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Master of that level can already achieve partial bone Rebirth and flesh regeneration!”

“But we must be quick, otherwise his wound will set and become an old injury. Even the Nine Heart Begonia won't be able to regenerate the flesh then.”

Tang San felt that getting Ye Lingling's mother to help was impossible.

At least, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hadn't managed it.

Unless Ye Lingling agreed to help them.

Flender's eyes lit up: “Nine Heart Begonia! Good, good. We'll go invite her right away. Let Zhao Wuji make the trip!”

Tang San said: “Dean, you should probably go yourself. Ye Lingling is likely out for experience, and there's a Family power behind her. Perhaps you can speak with them directly.”

“You're right. I'll go now. You keep an eye on Mubai!”

Flender hurried out of the room. Yu Xiaogang, who had been silent, had his eyes light up. To think there was such a powerful Healing Soul Master; if he could take her as a Disciple, then during their training, even if they exceeded their limits, they wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Yu Xiaogang asked: “Little San, do you know this Ye Lingling?”

Tang San nodded, then suddenly shook his head: “Teacher, she's a teammate of the woman in the red garment who defeated Xiao Wu and me today!”

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately realized he had seen her today as well.

Thinking they were all in the same group...

Taking her as a Disciple would be completely impossible.

Yu Xiaogang felt extremely disappointed.

For such a Spirit not to be his Disciple was truly a waste.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly reacted: “Wait, you said she's from that Red Wedding Dress duo? Doesn't that mean she's also with the one called golden roar?”

“They are indeed together. But whether they can be called over depends entirely on what Dean Flender does. The Dean is a Spirit Saint, after all; they should give him at least a little Face!”
