Chapter 127 The Secrets of the Art Should Not Be Passed On to Stupid People! [Bonus Chapter for 400 Monthly Tickets]

Flander looked at Chen Hong with some doubt, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Chen Hong's confident demeanor made not only Flander somewhat skeptical, but even Tang San and Ning Quan, who had been with him the whole time, almost doubt themselves.

Most importantly, Chen Hong's words contained many elements that conformed to objective logic, which left Flander unable to refute them for the time being.

After all, according to Dai Mubai and the others, Chen Hong was someone who could forcefully calm down the Titan Giant Ape, which had been enraged after Ning Quan attacked its testicles, and then reason with Chen Hong. Moreover, Chen Hong's method of reasoning with the Titan Giant Ape was a direct and blatant threat.

How could Flander possibly refute Chen Hong now? After all, outsiders were unaware of the communication between Chen Hong and the Titan Ape. Was Flander supposed to confront the Titan Ape right now? What kind of fake alcohol had he been drinking to dare to be so reckless?

No one could question the truth of Chen Hong's words. In the testimonies of Dai Mubai and others, the Titan Ape did indeed say that it would not make things difficult for Xiao Wu and would release her if it was in a good mood.

"Are you sure you're not lying to us?" Flander still found it hard to accept Chen Hong's explanation. However, Chen Hong's explanation seemed to have a magical power, making Flander feel that Chen Hong's words were very reasonable and logically flawless!

Basically, it created a perfect excuse for the Titan Giant Ape to attack the Shrek Seven Devils without cause. What about Beauty and the Beast, King Kong and Beauty? What if the 100,000-year-old soul beast Titan Giant Ape really got bored with his life of hundreds of years and wanted to learn about human society through a human girl?

Oh no, Flanders felt that if he continued to think about it, he would be convinced by himself.

"Of course it's true!" Chen Hong grinned, revealing what he considered to be a very bright and infectious smile.

An absurd fact often requires an even more absurd fact to cover it up.

Saying nothing, or speaking too seriously, will subconsciously arouse suspicion. However, if you cover it up with another logical reason that sounds absurd at first glance, people's attention will be subconsciously diverted, and they will begin to fall into an endless logical cycle of self-doubt and self-persuasion.

On the contrary, Xiao Wu, the main character of the story, has been reduced to a background character, and all the focus of attention has been placed on Chen Hong.

Flander wanted to question Tang San and Ning Quan, but Tang San and Ning Quan had not participated in the communication with the Titan Ape at all. Therefore, they only expressed that they had indeed heard the Titan Ape say that it would not harm Xiao Wu. They knew nothing else.

Ning Quan and Tang San both understood that Chen Hong was perhaps paving the way for Xiao Wu's return. Therefore, they only told what they knew and knew nothing else, especially about Chen Hong's communication with the Titan Ape, which they only knew the general situation.

"Alright." Flander sighed helplessly, glancing at the Shrek Academy students and teachers around him, and smiled wryly. Encountering such a thing was bad luck for Shrek Academy, but life had to go on, no matter how difficult. "Hopefully, Xiao Wu will return soon."

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to negotiate with the Titan Ape on this," Chen Hong said with a smile.

Flander and Ning Fengzhi expressed their sincere gratitude, exchanged a few more words, and then the two groups parted ways.

After exchanging a few words with Chen Hong, Ning Quan, and Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, Jian Chenxin, and Ning Rongrong embarked on their journey back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Standing on the Starry Sky Plain, Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the departing figures of Ning Fengzhi and Jian Chenxin. After the helplessness she felt during this incident, Ning Rongrong felt as if she had seen another side of her father.

"Let's go, what are you still looking at?"

Chen Hong, having passed Ning Rongrong, glanced back at Ning Fengzhi and Jian Chenxin as they walked away, thinking to himself: Seeing one's father from different perspectives always evokes different feelings. Especially standing still, watching one's father go home, while one has to see him off.

"Chen Hong." Coming to her senses, Ning Rongrong quickly caught up with Chen Hong, then silently whispered in his ear, "I don't know why, but I feel so sad inside."

After seeing Xiao Wu off, Ning Rongrong began to feel uneasy as she watched her father and Grandpa Jian leave.

It's as if I'm no longer a child, and I'm starting to drift further and further away from my father.

"It's good that you're uncomfortable." Chen Hong and Ning Quan followed at the back of the group, casually replying to Ning Rongrong's questions.

"I'm serious!" Ning Rongrong punched Chen Hong, her cheeks puffed out in anger.

"You grow when you realize your own insignificance. You also grow when you realize your father's insignificance. Don't worry about Xiaowu. I wasn't wrong. I'll find a way to get Xiaowu out later. It'll be alright, trust me."

As someone with an adult mindset, Chen Hong naturally understood Ning Rongrong's current feelings.

First, she encountered a powerful enemy like the Titan Ape, who took away her companions. Then, she saw that the underdog, who was clearly not as strong as her, suddenly possessed a powerful force capable of intimidating the Titan Ape. Finally, she saw that even her once-powerful father seemed unable to solve all her problems. Naturally, Ning Rongrong's temperament began to undergo some subtle changes.

"I believe you." Ning Rongrong nodded, a light beginning to shine in her beautiful, somewhat obscure eyes.

"Why have you suddenly become so unpredictable?"

"Because this is the power of knowledge." Chen Hong pointed to his head.

"Then can you teach me?" Ning Rongrong paused for a moment, then got down to business.

"Teach you? You're too stupid to learn my moves. I don't teach fools." Chen Hong looked back at Ning Rongrong, who looked like she was idiots, with some doubt.

"Ah! I'm not stupid! Cousin~" Ning Rongrong was a little exasperated by Chen Hong's questioning gaze.

"Cousin? Who's cousin? My name is Chen Hong." Chen Hong calmly rejected Ning Rongrong's attempt to get closer.

"Ah!!!" Ning Rongrong was even more furious.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who was walking a little ahead of the group, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say to Ning Rongrong:

"Didn't Professor Chen Hong say before that he would share some of his research findings with us when he returned to the college?"
