...
Just as the girls were whispering together...
The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Qin Ming, the teacher in charge of the group, walked in from outside.
He glanced at Xuan Hao, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and walked over quickly.
But everyone noticed that the usually composed Teacher Qin looked a little off, with a clear sense of struggle and seriousness between his brows.
"Xuanhao," Qin Ming said in a low voice as he walked to the sofa, "come out with me for a moment.
I want to talk to you about something alone."
Xuan Hao put down his teacup, looked up at Qin Ming, and instantly guessed what was going on.
Qin Ming said last night that he went to visit an elder he hadn't seen for many years.
Now he's back with this complicated expression. It's obvious that he must have gone back to Shrek Academy outside the city, and he must have heard some "interesting" remarks there.
"Sure."
Xuan Hao stood up and followed Qin Ming out of the lounge and into an empty private room next door.
After closing the door, Qin Ming didn't waste time beating around the bush and asked directly:
"Xuanhao, tell me the truth... do you have some deep-seated grudge against the people of Shrek Academy?"
"hatred?"
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow, leaned against the door, and innocently asked, "What grudge?"
Qin Ming took a deep breath and said with a complicated expression, "I went back to Shrek Academy last night and learned some things there.
What they said... seems to be that you have a great prejudice and hostility towards Shrek.
During this period, you have not only bullied them repeatedly and injured the academy's teachers, but you have even cruelly and seriously injured their students!"
"Oh? You bullied them?"
Xuan Hao's lips curled into a mocking sneer as he asked, "And then?
What else did they say?"
"I know your personality."
Qin Ming looked directly into Xuan Hao's eyes and said seriously, "Although you have a domineering reputation in Tian Dou City, I know you.
You always have your own bottom line and rules. You would never bully the weak for no reason, let alone do anything reckless."
"So, the reason I'm here today is to hear your side of the story, what exactly happened?"
Qin Ming sighed and continued, "Dean Flander seems extremely distressed about this matter, even somewhat ashamed to speak of it. The information I have is from several junior students and the master.
The master... is the once-famous theoretical master Yu Xiaogang, who is also Tianheng's uncle."
"laugh..."
Upon hearing the name "Yu Xiaogang," Xuan Hao scoffed dismissively and shook his head helplessly.
"Teacher Qin, I can only say that you've made a wasted trip.
I don't have the time to deliberately target or 'bully' Shrek Academy.
Everything I did was purely out of personal grudges!"
Xuan Hao held up one finger.
"First of all, if Shrek Academy complains to you that I 'stole' their students Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, then I can only say that's pure idiocy!"
"For students, a college is a place to learn.
If they like it and want to stay, they can stay; if they feel they can't learn anything or are unhappy there, they can leave anytime they want!"
"What do you mean by 'kidnapping'?
Is Shrek Academy some kind of bandit den where once you enter, you can't get out?
Or does it mean that students have to sell their lives and possessions just to attend school?
Freedom to come and go is a matter of course!"
Qin Ming paused for a moment, then nodded:
"Indeed, it's understandable for students to drop out. But what about the matter of injuring teachers and students?"
Secondly.
Xuan Hao held up a second finger.
"I did indeed hit Zhao Wuji, the vice dean of Shrek Academy.
But, Teacher Qin, you need to understand one premise—that bear attacked me first, relying on his Soul Saint cultivation!"
"Back then, I took Na'er to Shrek Academy to find Rongrong, and we ran into an old acquaintance, Zhu Qing.
As a result, that brain-dead prince from Shrek Academy named Dai Mubai actually dared to lay a hand on Na'er and speak rudely to her!
I slapped him right then and there!"
"The fact that I didn't slap him to death on the spot is already giving face to the Star Luo royal family and Shrek Academy!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's expression instantly turned unnatural, even somewhat terrified!
As a teacher at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, he naturally knew just how outrageously Xuan Hao doted on and protected his younger sister, Na'er!
Back then, Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, tried to lay a hand on Na'er in the street... and ended up having his hand broken by Xuan Hao, and was even forced to kneel down and apologize!
If you offend Xuan Hao himself, you might be able to reason with him and apologize; but if anyone dares to offend Na'er...
We should be grateful that Dai Mubai is still breathing!
"As for me hitting that damn 'master' Yu Xiaogang..."
Xuan Hao withdrew his finger, snorted coldly, and admitted, "This is purely a personal grudge between him and me!"
"Furthermore, let me tell you—not only did I beat him up before, but from now on, whenever I see him in Soto City, and if I'm in a bad mood, I'll beat him up every time I see him!
I won't hold back!"
"..."
Qin Ming's eyes twitched violently upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but ask with a face full of doubt:
"What deep-seated hatred do you have for him?
The master told me last night, with a sense of grievance, that he didn't even know you before this!"
In Qin Ming's mind, although Xuan Hao was domineering and unreasonable, he was definitely not the kind of person who would bully the weak for no reason, because that would be "meaningless" for Xuan Hao.
Xuan Hao's hostility towards Yu Xiaogang is so strong, there must be some hidden reason behind it!
"Don't recognize me? Heh..."
Xuan Hao scoffed dismissively, crossed his arms, and made no attempt to explain further to Qin Ming.
"This is a personal matter between him and me, and I have no intention of explaining anything to anyone."
"If Yu Xiaogang feels resentful or wronged... then it's simple!"
"He can go back to his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan and call for reinforcements!
He can go and loudly ask his father, the clan leader, if he dares to uphold justice for this good-for-nothing who has already been expelled from the clan!"
"Of course..."
"If he dares to send people, I will naturally send people too.
Then we'll settle things and see who's more capable... whether the people this 'master' who's disliked by his family sends are stronger, or whether my backing is stronger!"
...
Qin Ming walked out of the private room, gently closed the door, and kept replaying Xuan Hao's words in his mind.
He didn't confront Yu Xiaogang or the other Shrek Academy students.
Compared to Yu Xiaogang's accusations, which were heavily influenced by subjective emotions, he believed Xuan Hao's confession more.
The reason is simple—Xuan Hao disdains lying.
To put it bluntly, given Xuan Hao's current status, strength, and position in Tian Dou City, even if he really did hit someone or bully Shrek without any reason, so what?
Back then, Yu Tianheng, as the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, was beaten up by Xuan Hao in front of the whole school so many times, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan didn't even utter a fart.
Not to mention Yu Xiaogang, who has now been expelled from the family and only holds the title of "master".
If Xuan Hao really wanted to mess with him, he wouldn't need to hide anything.
