Ye Feng opened the letter and looked at the contents. The message was simple, consisting of only a few short sentences.
"Everyone from Shrek Academy, we have different ideals and cannot work together. From today on, Dai Mubai and I will temporarily leave Shrek Academy until the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition is over. – Tang San."
Ye Feng smirked as he read the letter. This outcome was exactly what he had expected.
Ye Feng hadn't participated in the recent rounds of competition. Their opponents either voluntarily admitted defeat, or he had deliberately prevented Tang San and Dai Mubai from playing. Seven rounds had passed, and Tang San had yet to step onto the battlefield even once. This left him feeling restless. Adding to that, Yu Xiaogang was now at Blazing Academy, further distancing Tang San's heart from Shrek Academy.
Bang!
The door slammed open, and Liu Erlong stormed in with a serious expression. "Ye Feng, have you heard? Tang San and Dai Mubai left and joined Blazing Academy, one of the five elemental academies?"
"Yeah." Ye Feng nodded calmly.
"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Liu Erlong was stunned. She couldn't detect the slightest shock in Ye Feng's demeanor.
"Because I did it on purpose." Ye Feng grinned openly.
Liu Erlong no longer harbored feelings for Yu Xiaogang. The one she liked now was Ye Feng. Though they hadn't taken their relationship to the next level, Ye Feng had taken advantage of every moment they spent together. To Ye Feng, Liu Erlong was already his woman, so he had nothing to hide from her.
"Why? Tang San and Dai Mubai have already reached the Spirit Ancestor realm. Especially Tang San—he has twin martial spirits and an external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lance. He's a powerhouse in the team. Why would you deliberately push him away?" Liu Erlong asked, puzzled.
"Because... the man who killed my parents is most likely his father, Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao." Ye Feng clenched his fists, revealing the real reason behind Tang San's departure.
"What?!"
"Xiao San's father is the murderer of your parents?"
Both Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu stared at Ye Feng in shock.
At that moment, Ye Feng laid out all the clues he had gathered.
Liu Erlong furrowed her brows and analyzed the situation. "It's been years since the incident, and there's no concrete proof that Tang Hao was the killer. Your reasoning makes sense, though. There are only three main suspects: one, Spirit Hall; two, the current patriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia Clan—your uncle; and three, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao. If they were the murderers, there must be a motive. What possible motives could the first and third suspects have?"
Ye Feng remained silent.
Bibi Dong and anyone who held grudges against Qian Xunji had enough reason to kill his mother, since they wouldn't want Qian Xunji to recover from his injuries.
His uncle, the patriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia Clan, had a potential motive—ensuring Ye Lingling successfully awakened her Nine Heart Begonia.
But Tang Hao… what reason would he have to kill his parents?
Seeing Ye Feng deep in thought, Liu Erlong continued, "So, you're afraid that Tang Hao might be the murderer and that you and Tang San will inevitably become enemies one day. That's why you want to sever ties with him early?"
"I guess so." Ye Feng shrugged.
Liu Erlong was only half right. Ye Feng wasn't afraid of future conflict—he had never liked Tang San to begin with.
"But what are you planning to do next?" Liu Erlong asked.
"Aren't you going to scold me?" Ye Feng looked at her, surprised.
"Why would I?" Liu Erlong asked with a smirk.
"I pissed off two main players and drove them away." Ye Feng said bluntly.
"If you feel bad about it, why not… let me kiss you?" Liu Erlong teased.
"Uh!" Ye Feng rolled his eyes.
"Ye Feng, they're just two players. What's the big deal?" Liu Erlong smiled. "I'm ready to give my body to you at any time. Do you really think I care about losing two main players?"
"..."
Ye Feng was stunned and glanced at Xiao Wu, feeling awkward. "Erlong, Xiao Wu is here too."
"So what?" Liu Erlong smirked, her face slightly flushed. "Who knows? Maybe one day Xiao Wu and I will be sleeping together with you. Does it matter if she hears?"
"Huh?!" Ye Feng was dumbfounded and stared at Liu Erlong in disbelief. "Erlong, you actually think that way?!"
"Hmph." Liu Erlong snorted, but her face turned even redder. Unlike Ning Rongrong, she didn't hesitate to speak her mind. "Don't think I don't understand you men. You bastards always have these kinds of thoughts in your heads."
Ye Feng was speechless. To be fair, when he was out shopping with Liu Erlong, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, he had entertained such wild thoughts. If he could have multiple women like Dai Mubai, wouldn't that be awesome?
His gaze shifted to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's face turned a deep shade of red. Her white skin glowed like a ripe peach, tempting one to take a bite.
"Alright." Liu Erlong eventually dropped the teasing and returned to the main topic. "The competition requires each academy to field eleven players. With Tang San and Dai Mubai gone, what's your plan?"
"Recruit new members." Ye Feng answered confidently.
"Do you have any candidates?" Liu Erlong asked.
"Not yet." Ye Feng admitted.
"If no one suitable appears, I can recall the other eight players from the original eleven we prepared at Blue Tyrant Academy. We'll select from them." Liu Erlong suggested.
Ding Dong!
"Congratulations. Due to the host's intervention, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan have broken up. The original storyline has been altered. You have received 66 distributable attribute points."
"They broke up?" Ye Feng was momentarily stunned. "Damn. Yu Tianheng must have really been chasing after Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, just to solidify his position in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Liu Erlong noticed his slight change in expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Something bothering you?"
"Erlong, recall one member from the eight team members for now." Ye Feng instructed.
"Just one?" Liu Erlong blinked, then smirked knowingly. "You already have someone in mind?"
"Yeah." Ye Feng grinned. "If luck is on our side, we'll gain another control-type spirit master."
