Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

"Don't rush, tell me about Dai Huabin's situation first. Don't worry, anyone who dares to lay a hand on a Shrek Academy student will be severely punished!"

Upon hearing Wang Dong's words, Ma Xiaotao quickly interrupted him, saying that she had read Wang Dong's information and that he was backed by the Haotian Sect, a sect that once had the title of having the strongest weapon spirit on the continent.

Ma Xiaotao didn't know the extent of the other party's current resources, but producing several Title Douluo was certainly not a problem.

Dealing with Dai Huabin, whose identity is unknown, is definitely not a problem. However, this will inevitably damage the academy's reputation.

This is something the college must handle itself.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were already caught up in the moment, so the task of explaining naturally fell to Huo Yuhao.

He revealed in detail how Dai Huabin wanted Xiao Xiao's leg bone and made a bet based on it.

"If someone thinks they have a sure win but loses the bet and doesn't have the guts to fulfill their wager, then they hire someone to attack? Logically, this is entirely plausible, and the likelihood of it actually happening is extremely high."

Ma Xiaotao frowned in thought. Dai Huabin, why does this name sound familiar?

Dai Hua... Dai Yaoheng?

"What is Dai Huabin's martial spirit?" Ma Xiaotao asked Huo Yuhao with a serious expression.

"His martial spirit is the White Tiger, and he is also the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke," Huo Yuhao replied casually.

"As expected." Ma Xiaotao remembered that she had indeed heard this name from Dai Yueheng. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion, huh? Its power was indeed considerable.

But so what? Shrek Academy fears no power!

"Don't worry, no matter who's behind Dai Huabin, the academy will definitely get justice for you!"

Ma Xiaotao solemnly promised the three of them. Huo Yuhao smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Of course I trust the academy."

"I will take full responsibility for this matter and will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Other trainees who came to help have arrived. They will safely take you back to the academy. I'll take these people with me first.

Ma Xiaotao watched the figures rapidly approaching in the distance, some of whom were acquaintances of hers.

"Wait." Just as Ma Xiaotao turned to leave, Huo Yuhao called out to her.

"What's wrong? Is there any other clue?" Ma Xiaotao asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"No, the only person I can call a sworn enemy is Dai Huabin."

What I wanted to talk about was the evil fire. Thank you so much for the rescue, senior. I promised to help you suppress the evil fire as you said before.

A faint smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face, and a hint of joy welled up in his heart. He was about to acquire a new term, "Evil Fire Entangling Him," which was truly something to look forward to.

However, even without the entry, Huo Yuhao would have agreed to help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire at this time in his plan.

Agreeing to Ma Xiaotao's request based on the fact that he saved her life is not only reasonable, but also shows that he is a person who knows how to repay kindness and is worth befriending.

At the same time, Ma Xiaotao will also realize, because of the life-saving grace, that her relationship with Huo Yuhao has not deepened, but that it was just his way of repaying her.

Therefore, Ma Xiaotao will continue to try to get closer to the two of them. Given her personality, she will definitely take on the task of finding the real culprit behind the scenes.

Then, after discovering that the academy's higher-ups refused to punish Dai Huabin because of the White Tiger Duke's status, and that she herself was powerless to change the situation, she would definitely feel disappointed with the academy.

When Huo Yuhao helps her suppress her evil fire again, he will inevitably feel guilty.

Ma Xiaotao harbors disappointment with the academy and guilt towards Huo Yuhao, and she also wants to bring the two closer. In that case, the initiative between them will be firmly in Huo Yuhao's hands.

Following the arrival of Xian Lin'er, the number one enforcer in Shrek Academy's anti-corruption plan, Huo Yuhao will welcome his second enforcer, Ma Xiaotao.

These are already two legitimate direct descendants, and with the various pieces of evidence left by the Martial Soul system, he will stand on the side of righteousness.

Shrek Academy has a tradition of acting under the banner of righteousness, and the supervisory group with its own law enforcement authority is the best example of this.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Ma Xiaotao is a normal person and not a pseudo-human with a martial soul system.

However, based on Huo Yuhao's observations from yesterday until now, Ma Xiaotao is most likely a normal person.

You can roughly judge a person's character from their subconscious speech and behavior patterns.

Wang Dong did not object this time as she had the previous night. Although she did not have a good impression of Ma Xiaotao, it was a fact that the other party had saved them.

Repay kindness with kindness and avenge wrongs with revenge; this is a perfectly ordinary principle.

"I didn't come here to ask you to help me suppress my evil fire. Even if someone else had fired the signal flare today, I would still have come to support them."

Ma Xiaotao wasn't lying; when she noticed the receiver flashing red, her first thought was of Huo Yuhao.

But that was because she was worried that something might happen to Huo Yuhao, extinguishing her hope of curing the evil fire.

Her purpose was to come and protect Huo Yuhao, not to use his gratitude to blackmail him.

Although both parties aimed to support Huo Yuhao in the process and in the end, their motivations were completely different.

To put it simply, if Ma Xiaotao notices that the receiver is glowing yellow, she will put on her flying soul tool and come to provide support as usual.

If the light is red, it means that the flying soul tool and Phoenix Wing Sky Flight are used together, no longer caring about the consumption of soul power, and striving to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible.

The former allows her to intervene in the battle with her strongest abilities, while the latter allows her to intervene in the battle quickly.

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Wang Dong's face showed surprise. Although Ma Xiaotao had saved her, she still didn't like her.

Given Ma Xiaotao's eagerness to suppress her evil fire last night, Wang Dong assumed she would be pleasantly surprised to accept Huo Yuhao's help.

Unexpectedly, she rejected Huo Yuhao's suggestion despite her eagerness, which made Wang Dong look at her with newfound respect.

"Whether you think this way or not, senior, you saved me, that's a fact, and I happen to have the ability to repay this kindness."

Senior, please don't feel like you're using my gratitude to blackmail me. This is my own choice, and I hope you won't refuse.

"Well... okay." Ma Xiaotao was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Although Huo Yuhao agreed to help her suppress the evil fire, she wasn't as happy as she had expected.

She wanted to develop a true friendship with Huo Yuhao, rather than this kind of relationship based on "interests".

Huo Yuhao clearly did not regard her as a friend, but rather as a task for which he needed to be paid.

Ma Xiaotao knew why this was the case; her first and second encounters with Huo Yuhao had indeed left a bad impression, to say the least.

Ma Xiaotao exchanged a few words with the students who had arrived. They nodded to each other, and one of them stayed behind to escort Huo Yuhao and the other two, while the rest of them left with Ma Xiaotao and the assassins.

After escorting Huo Yuhao and the other two back to the academy, the inner court student vanished in a flash, without saying a single word to them.

Huo Yuhao then turned his gaze to Xiao Xiao, his tone gentle and teasing, and patted Xiao Xiao's head with a light laugh.

"Alright, you've been wearing a long face the whole way. What's wrong with our Xiao Xiao?"
