Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 130 Am I fighting a ferocious beast for a person?
"Xiao Tao!"

Seeing that things seemed to be developing in the wrong direction, Xuanzi finally couldn't sit still any longer. He frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

Ma Xiaotao was not intimidated by Xuanzi: "Elder Xuan, what's wrong?"

Xuanzi once again adopted his teacherly demeanor, using a condescending tone, like a classic elder lecturing a junior, to reprimand Ma Xiaotao for her inappropriate behavior.

Normally, Ma Xiaotao might not say anything. Even if she was dissatisfied, she would most likely choose to remain silent for the sake of her teacher, Yan Shaozhe.

However, Ma Xiaotao today is undoubtedly a powder keg that has been lit. Although she has not yet lost her mind, she is absolutely unable to remain silent and let it go as before. Moreover, Ma Xiaotao is already quite dissatisfied with Xuanzi.

Xuanzi was annoyed when he saw that Ma Xiaotao did not admit her mistake as he had expected, but instead dared to question him. However, Ma Xiaotao was, after all, a regular member of this year's team and Yan Shaozhe's student, so Xuanzi could not directly lash out.

To Xuanzi, who relied on his seniority, Yan Shaozhe was nothing. Although he was the dean of the Martial Soul Department, he was just a junior.

However, Yan Shaozhe's teacher, Mu En, was different. He was the only person in the entire Shrek Academy who could deliberately keep Xuan Zi completely in check.

Xuanzi had already been criticized by Mu En, so naturally he didn't want to cause trouble for Mu En again.

So he began to reason, which was unusual for him: "Xiao Tao, you know about that selection competition. Apart from Ling Shuang herself, the other qualifiers were more or less brought up by Ling Shuang. It doesn't mean that they are stronger than these kids."

"As a senior student, you should be more patient and give these kids a chance to showcase their talents. We are all students in the same academy, so there is no need to make the relationship too strained."

Xuanzi's words sounded perfectly normal, as if there was nothing wrong with them at all.

In fact, if it were someone else, this statement would also be correct.

However, if Xuanzi were to say these words, the meaning would be quite different.

Ma Xiaotao gave a cold laugh, her tone strange: "Is that so? It seems Elder Xuan really has a lot of patience."

"But if that's the case, why didn't you have the patience to give Ling Shuang that opportunity back then? Instead, you simply removed his spot because he was still cultivating."

"Could it be that Elder Xuan's patience has an extremely flexible degree of variability?"

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's sarcastic words, Xuanzi's face turned ashen.

Although it was Mu En's idea to exclude Ling Shuang from the reserve team, he was also a supporter, so Ma Xiaotao's questioning of him was not wrong.

It was precisely because there was nothing wrong with it that Xuanzi became even more annoyed.

After all, the truth is often more hurtful than a lie.

Seeing Xuanzi's ashen face and his silence for a long time, Ma Xiaotao lost the desire to continue arguing with him.

She knew very well that although Xuanzi was a participant in this matter, it was only because most of the senior students made the same decision that it was truly achieved.

Even if Xuanzi admits he was wrong, the die is cast, and the academy can't do anything to him, since it would be a slap in the face to most of the academy's higher-ups.

She was just venting her anger.

"If you want to fight, then fight yourselves. If you want to work things out, then work it out slowly. I have no interest in that, so I'm not going to play along."

"If the academy feels that I am not competent as the team leader, they can replace me. I have no objection."

After saying that, Ma Xiaotao turned around and left without lingering or even caring whether Xuanzi agreed.

Having vented her anger enough, she no longer wanted to stay there and make herself feel disgusted.

"I also have other things to do." Ling Luochen said casually before turning and leaving. Since Ma Xiaotao had already taken the lead, she had nothing to worry about.

Ling Luochen had absolutely no interest in today's so-called exchange.

After Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen left, the atmosphere at the scene became eerily quiet.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, none of them speaking, their eyes all fixed on Elder Xuan standing to the side.

At this moment, the disheveled old man had stopped eating the chicken leg in his hand, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it.

After a long while, Xuanzi took another big bite of the chicken leg and slowly said, "It's okay, let's continue."

Xuanzi didn't say anything about holding Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen accountable this time. Although he was not satisfied with their actions, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament was about to begin, and punishing the main team members at this time was obviously not a rational choice.

Although Xuanzi is a bit dim-witted, he values ​​the so-called Shrek honor extremely highly, and for this reason, he can suppress his dissatisfaction.

The others weren't as annoyed as the two of them; most of them had no objections to the reserve team that had been re-selected.

Dai Yueheng, in particular, not only had no objections, but was also quite enthusiastic.

The eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's mansion valued his network of connections highly, so he was very enthusiastic towards these geniuses, acting like a caring senior.

Little did he know that among these junior students, there was a pair of eyes filled with hatred staring intently at him.

…………

The howling wind carried snowflakes, like goose down, as they drifted down.

"Xiaoshuang, is your home still inside?" Jiang Nannan asked, looking at the white expanse before her.

After staying at Jiang Nannan's house for a while, they resumed their journey.

She did know that Ling Shuang lived in the far north, but she always thought it should be in a city in the far north. But now they had already left the city closest to the far north. If they went any further, they would be in the core area of ​​the far north, which was known as the forbidden zone for human soul masters.

She glanced at Wang Qiu'er beside her, only to see that Wang Qiu'er looked calm, as if she had known all along.

Jiang Nannan suddenly slapped her head.

Qiu'er is Xiao Shuang's younger sister, so it's perfectly normal for her to know.

"Hmm." Ling Shuang nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at Jiang Nannan, his bright heterochromatic eyes sparkling with a strange light.

"Nannan, haven't you always been curious about my background? Let me tell you."

Ling Shuang slowly recounted her life story to Jiang Nannan.

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to hide.

Wang Qiu'er, who was standing to the side, also curiously leaned over. Although she knew that Ling Shuang was from the far north, she did not know how Ling Shuang had gotten involved with Xue Di and the others.

As Jiang Nannan listened to Ling Shuang's story, her expression changed visibly to one of astonishment and surprise, and her rosy lips finally parted slightly.

That white-haired woman isn't human, but the ruler of the far north?!

Is she fighting a ferocious beast to rescue someone?
Jiang Nannan suddenly felt a little impressed with herself.
