37: A rift between Flanders and Yu Xiaogang
The next morning.
Dai Mubai slowly opened his eyes, ending his meditation state. Hearing no sound outside, a slight curve lifted the corner of his mouth.
It seems Ma Hongjun's plan to teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson yesterday was effective; it directly prevented Yu Xiaogang from yelling about some so-called "special training" this morning, unlike what Ma Hongjun and the others said he would do.
However, when Dai Mubai arrived at the square, he saw Yu Xiaogang sitting in a wheelchair and everyone else with their heads lowered.
And Flander was standing nearby with a look of disappointment. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's lower body was tightly wrapped.
He had completely lost his previous so-called calm and composed demeanor, only displaying full-blown rage. If his lower body hadn't been too severely injured and required rest at this moment.
It's estimated that Yu Xiaogang would already be standing with his hands on his hips and cursing, but it's normal not to be calm and composed when your eggs are gone.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were behind Yu Xiaogang at this time, and the veins on Tang San's hand pushing the wheelchair were bulging.
The hatred in his eyes was clear. When Tang San first heard that his teacher was injured, he panicked.
And when Tang San learned from Yu Xiaogang that it seemed someone from this academy hired people to injure him, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Tang San was thinking at this moment: I actually attacked you, and yet you dared to harm my benefactor, everyone's teacher.
So when Tang San woke up this morning and saw every student in Shrek, he looked at them as if they were people seeking death.
"This is...? What happened."
Seeing the atmosphere so heavy, Dai Mubai spoke up to ask, inwardly wishing he could beat Ma Hongjun.
After all, teaching Yu Xiaogang a lesson would have been enough. Now was not the time to fall out with their teacher and disciple. What should they do now that the person was crippled? This statement caused everyone's eyes to turn towards Dai Mubai, who arrived last.
Seeing everyone had arrived, Flander let out a long sigh of relief and slowly spoke, suppressing his anger.
"Alright, everyone is here. Grandmaster was injured by someone who hired assassins yesterday. His entire lower body is..."
Flander didn't finish the last part of his sentence, but the eyes of the female students couldn't help but glance at Yu Xiaogang's lower body.
There seemed to be no bulge there, which explained everything. And seeing this, Yu Xiaogang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. The veins on his forehead and hands were bulging as he pointed at all the students and began to insult them.
"You actually hired assassins to injure someone! I painstakingly researched special training plans for you every day. Just because I was a little strict with your special training, you actually did such a beastly thing, you are simply a bunch of animals!"
Hearing such insults, Dai Mubai couldn't tolerate it anymore. His Martial Soul directly possessed him, and a terrifying pressure immediately pressed down on Yu Xiaogang. He slowly spoke with a hint of anger.
"First, you need to provide evidence when you insult people. Second, before a final conclusion is reached, you are not qualified to insult everyone!"
When Dai Mubai said this and the pressure settled, Yu Xiaogang's previously furious appearance instantly disappeared by more than half. While resisting Dai Mubai's Martial Soul pressure, he said to Flander with a flushed face.
"Flander, this kid dares to openly attack me, aren't you going to do something about it?"
Seeing this, Flander also used Martial Soul Possession, wanting to push back with his own pressure. However, he actually found that his Martial Soul pressure couldn't shake Dai Mubai's Martial Soul pressure in the slightest.
So Flander withdrew his Martial Soul and looked at Dai Mubai with disappointed eyes.
After a cold snort, Dai Mubai withdrew his pressure. Yu Xiaogang gasped for breath, his eyes filled with resentment as he pointed at Dai Mubai and said.
"Flander, you don't need to investigate! It must be this kid. He dares to attack me in broad daylight, the person who ambushed me last night must be him!"
Dai Mubai was already too lazy to waste words with Yu Xiaogang, this clown. Oscar couldn't help but speak up when he saw Yu Xiaogang insult Dai Mubai like this.
"Grandmaster, please tell me, where is the evidence my Dai Laoda mentioned? If you can't produce any evidence and just smear our Laoda like this, I absolutely won't accept it!"
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong all couldn't help but speak up and demand that the Grandmaster provide evidence.
At this point, Flander finally reacted. At first, when Yu Xiaogang confidently told him that a student from his own academy had hired someone to injure him, he was very sad. He couldn't help but feel disappointed in the students of his own academy, but currently, Yu Xiaogang hadn't produced any concrete evidence.
Is this Yu Xiaogang trying to make me torture a confession out of them? So Flander slowly spoke with a questioning tone.
"Xiao Gang, since you are so certain that our students hired someone to injure someone, do you have evidence?"
Yu Xiaogang was speechless at this moment, after all, he really had no evidence, only that those two people had called out to him. Moreover, after those two people saw Yu Xiaogang in such a crippled state, they realized they might have caused trouble, and they had already left overnight.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was injured and still being questioned, Tang San couldn't help but speak up to defend him.
"Dean, my teacher didn't actively provoke anyone after coming to the academy. Besides being a little strict during the special training period, isn't that enough to prove it?"
After Tang San finished speaking, Flander looked at everyone with a serious face again. What Tang San said also made sense. No one had the motive to harm Yu Xiaogang.
Hearing Tang San's words, Dai Mubai couldn't help but laugh, as if mocking everyone. Just as Dai Mubai wanted to retort, Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice sounded.
"It was your teacher who said we hired someone to harm him. Please state the time, place, and evidence. Weren't we all returning to the academy together last night?"
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, her eyes looking at Tang San were full of disgust. He had no evidence, only knew how to incite people.
"Everyone's a bit unlucky this morning, let's go, Dai Laoda is treating, let's eat something good."
Seeing that this matter was going to be left unresolved, Oscar spoke up to lighten the mood. Dai Mubai looked at Oscar with eyes full of approval at this moment. Seeing this, everyone also left the place with laughter and cheerful voices.
"Xiao Gang, I know you are not feeling well because you are injured. I can accept this kind of thing happening once, and only once."
After watching the whole process, Flander suppressed the anger in his heart and also left the place to find Zhao Wuji to talk about it.
Seeing that only the three of them were left, the teacher and disciple pair both looked in the direction everyone had left with angry expressions.
Xiao Wu felt more and more displeased with Grandmaster the more she looked at him. Grandmaster was becoming more and more unreasonable now. If it weren't for Tang San respecting this so-called teacher, she would absolutely not stand on Yu Xiaogang's side.
And Tang San had already started to hate Flander at this moment, thinking that Flander also deserved death, believing that as his teacher's old friend, Flander didn't believe his teacher.
And he even covered for their students. Tang San was thinking at this moment about how to deal with these people after his Hidden Weapons were ready, and Tang San also spoke up to comfort Yu Xiaogang at the right time.
"Teacher, when I become a Title Douluo, I won't let any of these people go. I will definitely prove to them that you are right."
Yu Xiaogang was greatly moved when he heard this, and his dissatisfaction with Flander deepened. Thinking that he didn't help him made his teeth itch with hatred.
So Tang San and Yu Xiaogang put on another show of a loving teacher and a filial disciple. What they didn't notice was the look in Xiao Wu's eyes towards Grandmaster, which had gradually become...
After listening to Flander's pouring out, Zhao Wuji also sighed, and spoke to Flander with a hint of dissatisfaction and seriousness.
"Flander, this friend of yours is really not very helpful to our academy. Today he made such a fuss again, you should think about your relationship with him, otherwise, this batch of students will eventually scatter."
Zhao Wuji's words were like nails driven into the part of Flander's heart he least wanted to face.
Flander used to think that mediating everything would still be fine, but now it seems that one day he will have to make a choice.
This incident also tore a huge rift in the old friendship between Flander and Yu Xiaogang, seemingly waiting for something to happen one day to completely break it apart.
After receiving Dai Mubai's look, Zhu Zhuqing also took Ning Rongrong and the three of them and pulled away to chat about girl topics.
Ning Rongrong also understood the meaning. Although she guessed that this might have been done by the three people behind, she didn't care, after all, she hadn't been happy with Yu Xiaogang for just one or two days.
"Fatty! You actually had someone cripple him? Isn't this causing trouble for Dai Laoda? If Dai Laoda hadn't directly confronted Dean Flander today, your appearance would have been questioned long ago!"
As soon as Oscar saw that they had pulled away, he eagerly started to criticize Ma Hongjun.
"I also... I didn't expect that my original intention was just to burn that old guy bald or something to make a fool of himself."
Ma Hongjun was uncharacteristically silent after hearing Oscar's series of accusations. He just scratched his head and explained the situation awkwardly.
"Fatty, this matter can be considered a blessing in disguise, you handled it pretty well."
Dai Mubai said something out of the blue at this moment, then slowly caught up with the two girls.
Only Ma Hongjun and Oscar were left staring at each other, analyzing whether Dai Mubai was being sarcastic.
However, Dai Mubai inwardly believed that this was actually a good thing, although it was very troublesome at first. But after Yu Xiaogang's nonsense, there would inevitably be a rift between Flander and him. They only needed to wait for another opportunity to make the two of them completely fall out.
Thinking of this, the corner of Dai Mubai's mouth couldn't help but curl up. After all, he currently planned to train Ma Hongjun and Oscar to become gods. He didn't want the two of them to have to face a situation of falling out with Flander in the future, so only Gangzi could either leave or quietly pass away.
Six months later.
