Grandma! You really dare to say that!

Do you even know what kind of monster is standing in front of you?!

This guy is a monster who can pin the level 76 Mighty Vajra Bear Zhao Wuji to the ground and kick him around like a ball!

If this guy really started fighting, he could easily beat everyone in the room by himself!

Fighting him? Maybe your grandfather, Long Gong Meng Shu, could try it.

Xuan Hao glanced at the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake, then at Meng Yiran, who looked expectant and confident of victory.

After a moment, he shook his head helplessly and sighed:

"Yiran, this matter... is not appropriate."

"Not suitable?" Meng Yiran was taken aback for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly. "What's not suitable? Are you afraid you can't beat him? My grandma is..."

"It's not a question of whether we can win or not."

Xuan Hao interrupted her directly, then pointed to Flander, who was still sweating profusely, and said in a serious tone:

"I have some connection with Dean Flander. We're all acquaintances, and it would be bad if word got out that we'd hurt each other by fighting over a snake."

"A...friendship?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Shrek Academy camp froze in shock.

Flander's hand, which was pushing up his glasses, trembled violently. He stared wide-eyed at the silver-haired boy whose face seemed to say, "We're very close." In his mind, it was as if a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind.

What kind of relationship is this?!

The day before yesterday, you kicked down the gate of our college and smashed my vice dean Zhao Wuji into a pit like a sandbag. He still can't get out of bed!

You casually beat my prized student, Dai Mubai, black and blue!

Just last night, in a restaurant in this small town, right in front of me, you slapped my old friend Yu Xiaogang so hard that he was knocking his teeth out and coughing up blood!

You call this a relationship?!

So in your eyes, as long as someone isn't killed on the spot, they're considered an acquaintance?!

Chapter 154 We're Not Familiar

……

Although Flander was screaming wildly inside, he wouldn't dare say it even if he had ten times the courage. He could only hold it in, his long face turning blue and purple from the effort.

Seemingly noticing Flander's constipated expression, Xuan Hao coughed twice and offered a brief explanation:

"Ahem... well, I'm very close friends with Qin Ming, who graduated from Shrek Academy."

"For Qin Ming's sake, how could I possibly lay a hand on his old dean? Don't you think so, Dean Flander?"

Upon hearing the name "Qin Ming," Flander was taken aback for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out he's Qin Ming's friend!

Good heavens! Thank God! Thank the earth! Thank you, Qin Ming, that good-for-nothing brat!

Even after so many years since graduation, he still managed to save the old dean's life at a critical moment by coming from another server!

As for the beating Zhao Wuji received before... Flander now thinks that Zhao Wuji deserved it!

"As for the sparring session with Vice Dean Zhao Wuji earlier..."

Xuan Hao shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"That was purely a misunderstanding. After all, it was Vice Dean Zhao who attacked me first, and I retaliated slightly in self-defense. It was just self-defense, and it doesn't affect my relationship with Shrek Academy."

"Yes, yes, yes! It was self-defense! It was a complete misunderstanding!"

Flanders had never felt so at ease in his life. He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and a bright smile crept onto his old face.

"Brother Xuanhao is right! It's all a misunderstanding! Since he's Qin Ming's friend, he's one of us from Shrek Academy!"

Meng Yiran and the Snake Granny were dumbfounded by Flander's fawning "survivor" demeanor.

Is this... the backbone a Soul Saint should have? Why does he seem more afraid of this boy than a mouse is of a cat?

"See?"

Xuan Hao turned his head, looked at Meng Yiran who was still somewhat bewildered, and his tone softened:

"So, it's really not my place to get involved in this."

"Moreover, to be honest, although this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is good and fast, its attributes are more inclined towards flight and escape, which is not particularly suitable for the attack characteristics of your Serpent Blade Martial Soul."

Xuan Hao pointed to the snake on the ground, then to Oscar:

"They're a food-type support, which is exactly what they need for survival. Just consider it a favor and give it to them."

"Anyway, the Star Dou Great Forest is so big, there are plenty of good things. I'll help you find an even better one, one that suits you perfectly, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Xuan Hao smiled and casually pointed to Zhu Zhuqing behind him:

"Perfect timing! Someone in our team also needs to acquire their third spirit ring. Let's travel together and look out for each other on the way."

If Meng Yiran gives up on the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, she will inevitably need to continue searching for a Soul Ring.

When the Dragon Lord joins forces, that human-faced demon spider with the "Eight Spider Spears" will definitely not be able to escape his grasp!

however.

Xuan Hao underestimated the stubbornness of this little princess of the Dragon and Snake family.

"no!"

When Meng Yiran heard Xuan Hao tell her to hand over the snake, the slight goodwill that had arisen from their reunion was instantly replaced by anger.

"Why should I?!"

"It took my grandma and me two whole days to track down this crested snake! I almost got injured trying to catch it!"

"Just because you know that Qin Ming guy, I'm supposed to give away my spoils for nothing?!"

Meng Yiran glared at Xuan Hao, her eyes slightly red, her tone tinged with grievance and anger:

"I don't care what your relationship with them is! This is my spirit ring!"

"Fine, if you won't help me, then so be it. We'll just wait for my grandpa to come and take it back ourselves!"

"You want me to hand it over? No way!"

"alright."

Faced with Meng Yiran's stubbornness and accusations, Xuan Hao did not retort or try to intimidate her as he usually did.

He simply shrugged indifferently and put his hands back in his pockets. "Since you think this snake is rightfully yours, then you can fight over it all you want. I'm not getting involved."

"I hate trouble the most. Since both sides are acquaintances, I won't get any credit if I help either of them, so I might as well pretend to be blind and not see anything."

Xuan Hao turned around and waved to the four girls watching the show behind him:

"Let's go, this is none of our business. Let's go find some soul beasts."

"Huh? But..."

Meng Yiran was stunned.

She originally thought that even if Xuan Hao didn't help her get it back, he would at least mediate and say a few sweet words to coax her, considering their past acquaintance.

Who knew this guy would be so heartless, leaving without even looking back?!

"Hey! Xuan Hao! Stop right there!"

Meng Yiran stomped her feet in anger, but could only watch helplessly as the silver-haired boy led four stunningly beautiful girls into the dense forest without looking back.

Meanwhile, Flander and the Shrek team breathed a long sigh of relief.

As long as this plague god doesn't interfere, things will be much easier from here on out.

……

After leaving that place of trouble, Xuan Hao and his group continued to wander aimlessly in the forest.

However, the atmosphere within the team was far from peaceful.

"Brother Xuanhao..."

Ning Rongrong clung to Xuan Hao like an octopus, hooking her arm around his. Her large eyes gleamed with a mixture of gossip and scrutiny as she asked in a low, hushed tone:

"Were you... hiding something from us just now?"

"When did you get involved with the Gaishi Dragon-Snake family again?"

"And there's more..."

Ning Rongrong drawled, "The VIP section of the Spirit Hall? What's going on here?"

"You wouldn't have secretly defected to the Spirit Hall behind my father's and grandfather's backs, would you?"

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall maintain a superficially amicable relationship, they are secretly wary of each other. If Xuan Hao were to truly become a member of the Spirit Hall, Ning Rongrong would be caught in the middle and suffer greatly.

"What are you thinking about seeking refuge with? What are you thinking?"

Xuan Hao tapped Ning Rongrong on the forehead in an annoyed tone and explained:

"I really met Meng Yiran by chance in the stands three years ago when I was watching the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"How old was I back then? How old was she? What kind of relationship could we have? We just watched a few games and chatted a few times. We weren't even ordinary friends, just acquaintances at most."

Xuan Hao shrugged. "But..."

"As you know, I've been handsome since I was a child, and I have a good temperament, so I'm naturally more attractive to the opposite sex."

"In addition, I have a friendly personality and treat people with a warm and welcoming attitude. It's quite reasonable that the young girl was impressed by me and considered me a good friend on her own."

"I can't just coldly tell someone 'I don't know you,' can I? That would be too hurtful to their self-esteem."

"..."

Listening to Xuan Hao's shameless self-praise, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing rolled their eyes at the same time.
