Chapter 502 Playing the Good Cop, Bad Cop.
"Is that so?"
Tang San then looked at Feng Xiaotian, his face showing a gentle expression, but Feng Xiaotian remained unmoved.
He knew that every one of the Shrek Eight Monsters was formidable, especially Tang San and Xuan Mo.
Therefore, Feng Xiaotian didn't respond to Tang San's words, but instead forcefully changed the subject, asking Xuan Mo and the others a question.
"Sigh! Actually, some things weren't our intention." Feng Xiaotian sighed, his gaze sweeping over the Shrek group.
"What if I said that our previous fight with your academy's students wasn't a deliberate provocation, but rather a result of your academy's students' arrogance?"
At this moment, Ma Hongjun couldn't hold back any longer.
"Feng Xiaotian, are you trying to fool a three-year-old?! You think we were too arrogant? What, you fought with Teacher Li and the others because Huo Wushuang thought Teacher Li was too arrogant?!"
With that, Ma Hongjun glared fiercely at Huo Wushuang, who was resting in his seat and watching Feng Xiaotian.
"Alright, Fatty,"
Oscar patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder. "I think Brother Feng is actually joking with us. Besides wanting to see our strength, you also have something important to discuss, right?"
At the same time, Oscar's gaze met Feng Xiaotian's.
Seeing Oscar directly reveal their purpose, Feng Xiaotian simply stopped hiding it. "Yes, that's what I'm thinking. It's been many years since we last met. First, I want to see our strength. Second, I hope you can introduce me to your academy. Since Dean Flander and the others aren't here, only you two can speak for me."
At this point, Feng Xiaotian gave a wry smile.
"However, judging from the current situation, it seems we're overestimating ourselves in terms of strength."
Xuan Mo and the others completely ignored Feng Xiaotian's next words. When he introduced himself, Xiao Wu glared at Feng Xiaotian angrily, "Introduction!? I think you're just here to cause trouble. Introducing someone doesn't start by crashing the party!"
"Exactly."
Ning Rongrong chimed in, "Judging from your actions, you asked us to introduce you just to seize our campus?"
Feng Xiaotian, clearly somewhat embarrassed, replied, "Of course not. To be honest, we do have our eyes on your academy's campus, but we have no intention of seizing it."
At the same time, Yu Tianxin chimed in, "Actually, we just hope to discuss with your academy whether you can allocate a piece of land for us. We are willing to pay for it, and also purchase some existing simulated training grounds. You know that after the academy relocated, many things had to be built from scratch. Shrek Academy, on the other hand, is already deeply rooted in Tiandou City. As the saying goes, it's good to take shelter under a big tree; if we can get some help from it, it will be easier for us to establish ourselves."
"Heh!" Ma Hongjun sneered a few times, saying irritably, "Then why don't you go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Their place isn't small either, and their facilities aren't any less than ours, are they? Don't you know that the Soul Masters under the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family often receive intensive training here? If we let all four of your academies move in together, we wouldn't be able to accommodate them."
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Huo Wu curled her lip disdainfully, "Them? We're worried that those spoiled brats among them will influence the atmosphere of our students. And it's precisely because we value Shrek Academy that we hope to cooperate with you."
"That's not wrong." Xiao Wu, standing next to Tang San, subconsciously recalled the character of the students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy after hearing Huo Wu's words, and then expressed her agreement.
Fortunately, Tang San reacted quickly, giving Xiao Wu a barely perceptible look. Seeing this, Xiao Wu quickly realized what was going on, and at the same time stuck out her tongue to express her "apology."
"Alright!" Before Feng Xiaotian and the others could continue speaking, Xuan Mo interrupted them sharply with a stern face, "Feng Xiaotian, don't give me that nonsense. I'll just say one thing: what do you want now?! Also, Shrek Academy doesn't have any extra land. If you want it, then let the Four Elements merge into Shrek Academy!"
"That's impossible!!"
Hearing Xuan Mo's words, not only Feng Xiaotian, but even Yu Tianxin and the others were shocked and furious.
"Xuanmo, don't go too far!"
Huo Wu's emotions clearly became agitated. "What? Do those hypocritical guys from the Spirit Hall want to annex us? Even your Shrek Academy wants to do the same?"
Feng Xiaotian's face also turned cold as he said, "This has crossed the line for our academy. We didn't even agree to the Spirit Hall's request, so do you think we'll agree to yours?"
"Heh, I don't care whether you agree or not."
Xuanmo glanced disdainfully at Feng Xiaotian and the others, sneered a few times, and then stood up, walking out as he spoke. "Anyway, I'll just say this: how can we give away our academy's territory? Besides, our academy has no connection with yours, so why should we help you? The only way you can prove your worth is by merging with Shrek Academy, otherwise... hmph! Forget about it!"
With that, Xuanmo walked out of the infirmary.
"Bang!"
With a loud slam of the door, Xuanmo's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Thump!" Feng Xiaotian angrily slammed his fist on the table. As he raged, a sense of powerlessness rose within him. "Tang San! Shrek Academy is taking advantage of our misfortune!"
"Brother Feng, please calm down."
Tang San's expression remained perfectly calm as he looked at Feng Xiaotian and said, "I think this matter isn't entirely unnecessarily unresolved, but Brother Feng, you should also tell us the truth. Don't you think so?"
As he spoke, the corners of Tang San's mouth slightly turned up, his gaze fixed intently on Feng Xiaotian, as if he could see right through him.
"Squeak..."
"Glug... glug..."
Xuan Mo picked up his wine gourd and drank some wine. Hearing the door open, he didn't turn around, but simply said indifferently, "How is it?"
"We already know what happened."
Tang San and the others all came to Xuan Mo's side, watching the leaves rustling in the breeze, then turned to look at Xuan Mo.
"Brother Mo, how should we handle this?"
"If he wants to join forces, let him." Xuan Mo put down his wine gourd and hung it on his waist. "We all know it's completely impossible for him to merge with our Shrek Academy. But in this cooperation, Shrek must take the lead and have the initiative."
"Don't worry, we understand."
Meanwhile, in the infirmary.
"Xiaotian, we..."
"I'm fine." Feng Xiaotian waved his hand, his eyes showing a deep, defeated glint.
"What a Shrek Academy, four playing the good cop, two the bad cop. They're really good at scheming..."
