Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

"hatred?"

Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow, leaned against the door, and innocently asked, "What grudge?"

Qin Ming took a deep breath and said with a complicated expression, "I went back to Shrek Academy last night and learned some things there. What they said... seems to be that you have a great prejudice and hostility towards Shrek. During this period, you have not only bullied them repeatedly and injured the academy's teachers, but you have even cruelly and seriously injured their students!"

"Oh? You bullied them?" Xuan Hao's lips curled into a mocking sneer as he asked, "And then? What else did they say?"

"I know your personality."

Qin Ming looked directly into Xuan Hao's eyes and said seriously, "Although you have a domineering reputation in Tian Dou City, I know you. You always have your own bottom line and rules. You would never bully the weak for no reason, let alone do anything reckless."

"So, the reason I'm here today is to hear your side of the story, what exactly happened?"

Qin Ming sighed and continued, "Dean Flander seems extremely distressed about this matter, even somewhat ashamed to speak of it. The information I have is from several junior students and the master. The master... is the once-famous theoretical master Yu Xiaogang, who is also Tianheng's uncle."

"laugh……"

Upon hearing the name "Yu Xiaogang," Xuan Hao scoffed dismissively and shook his head helplessly.

"Teacher Qin, I can only say that you've made a wasted trip. I don't have the time to deliberately target or 'bully' Shrek Academy. Everything I did was purely out of personal grudges!"

Xuan Hao held up one finger. "First of all, if Shrek Academy complains to you that I 'stole' their students Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, then I can only say that's pure idiocy!"

"For students, a college is a place to learn. If they like it and want to stay, they can stay; if they feel they can't learn anything or are unhappy there, they can leave anytime they want!"

"What do you mean by 'kidnapping'? Is Shrek Academy some kind of bandit den where once you enter, you can't get out? Or does it mean that students have to sell their lives and possessions just to attend school? Freedom to come and go is a matter of course!"

Qin Ming paused for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, it's understandable for students to drop out. But what about the matter of injuring teachers and students?"

Secondly.

Xuan Hao held up a second finger. "I did indeed hit Zhao Wuji, the vice dean of Shrek Academy. But, Teacher Qin, you need to understand one premise—that bear attacked me first, relying on his Soul Saint cultivation!"

"Back then, I took Na'er to Shrek Academy to find Rongrong, and we ran into an old acquaintance, Zhu Qing. As a result, that brain-dead prince from Shrek Academy named Dai Mubai actually dared to lay a hand on Na'er and speak rudely to her! I slapped him right then and there!"

"The fact that I didn't slap him to death on the spot is already giving face to the Star Luo royal family and Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's expression instantly turned unnatural, even somewhat terrified!

As a teacher at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, he naturally knew just how outrageously Xuan Hao doted on and protected his younger sister, Na'er!

Back then, Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, tried to lay a hand on Na'er in the street... and ended up having his hand broken by Xuan Hao, and was even forced to kneel down and apologize!

If you offend Xuan Hao himself, you might be able to reason with him and apologize; but if anyone dares to offend Na'er...

We should be grateful that Dai Mubai is still breathing!

"As for me hitting that damn 'master' Yu Xiaogang..."

Xuan Hao withdrew his finger, snorted coldly, and admitted, "This is purely a personal grudge between him and me!"

"Furthermore, let me tell you—not only did I beat him up before, but from now on, whenever I see him in Soto City, and if I'm in a bad mood, I'll beat him up every time I see him! I won't hold back!"

"..."

Qin Ming's eyes twitched violently upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but ask with a face full of doubt:

"What deep-seated hatred do you have for him? The master told me last night, with a sense of grievance, that he didn't even know you before this!"

In Qin Ming's mind, although Xuan Hao was domineering and unreasonable, he was definitely not the kind of person who would bully the weak for no reason, because that would be "meaningless" for Xuan Hao.

Xuan Hao's hostility towards Yu Xiaogang is so strong, there must be some hidden reason behind it!

"Don't recognize me? Heh..."

Xuan Hao scoffed dismissively, crossed his arms, and made no attempt to explain further to Qin Ming.

"This is a personal matter between him and me, and I have no intention of explaining anything to anyone."

"If Yu Xiaogang feels resentful or wronged... then it's simple!"

"He can go back to his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan and call for reinforcements! He can go and loudly ask his father, the clan leader, if he dares to uphold justice for this good-for-nothing who has already been expelled from the clan!"

"Of course..."

"If he dares to send people, I will naturally send people too. Then we'll settle things and see who's more capable... whether the people this 'master' who's disliked by his family sends are stronger, or whether my backing is stronger!"

……

Qin Ming walked out of the private room, gently closed the door, and kept replaying Xuan Hao's words in his mind.

He didn't confront Yu Xiaogang or the other Shrek Academy students. Compared to Yu Xiaogang's accusations, which were heavily influenced by subjective emotions, he believed Xuan Hao's confession more.

The reason is simple—Xuan Hao disdains lying.

To put it bluntly, given Xuan Hao's current status, strength, and position in Tian Dou City, even if he really did hit someone or bully Shrek without any reason, so what?

Back then, Yu Tianheng, as the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, was beaten up by Xuan Hao in front of the whole school so many times, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan didn't even utter a fart.

Not to mention Yu Xiaogang, who has now been expelled from the family and only holds the title of "master".

If Xuan Hao really wanted to mess with him, he wouldn't need to hide anything.

Chapter 192 Same Fate as Dai Mubai

……

Since Shrek Academy had also been invited to the Soto Arena for a team battle tonight, and Qin Ming had come with Flander and the others, he quickly found Flander, who was frowning, in another ordinary rest area.

"Dean Flander, may I speak with you in private?" Qin Ming stepped forward and led Flander to a quiet corner.

After stopping, Qin Ming did not hide anything and recounted to Flander what he had just heard from Xuan Hao. Then, looking into Flander's eyes, he asked, "Dean, is what Xuan Hao said true?"

Flander pushed up his crystal glasses, his face alternating between pale and flushed. Although he felt extremely embarrassed, he was an honest man and could only sigh deeply in the end, without denying anything.

"What he said... is basically true. Zhao Wuji did indeed strike first, and Mu Bai did indeed... speak without thinking."

Flander shook his head with a bitter smile, but his tone still revealed an undisguised sorrow and indignation: "But, Qin Ming! I can understand young people fighting over a girl, getting into a fight, or even a serious one. But Dai Mubai... he was completely crippled!"

Flander lowered his voice, his eyes filled with heartache: "His dignity as a man has been completely stripped away! Isn't this too much for a proud young man?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming remained silent for a moment. Although he sympathized with Dai Mubai's tragic fate, rationally, he couldn't help but remind his former mentor.

"Dean, you may not know Xuanhao well enough."

Qin Ming looked directly at Flander and said in a serious tone, "Although Xuan Hao is domineering, he rarely deliberately torments people. If someone provokes him, he usually just beats them up on the spot to vent his anger and that's it. Only if someone truly disgusts him to the core and touches his sore spot will he hold on to them relentlessly."

"As for someone like Dai Mubai, whose dignity was stripped away by him in a ruthless manner..."

Qin Ming took a deep breath. "Then what you should be considering is no longer whether Dai Mubai still has any dignity, but how much longer he can live!"

Seeing Flander's shocked look, Qin Ming continued, "Don't forget Xuan Hao's way of doing things. Even if Dai Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire, to Xuan Hao, he is no different from those hooligans who harass respectable women on the street."

"Don't even mention that this is the Kingdom of Barak. Even in the Star Luo Empire, or even in the Star Luo Imperial City, if Dai Mubai dares to cross his bottom line, Xuan Hao would absolutely dare to kill him!"

“Xuan Hao has always acted with discretion, but once he loses his composure and uses such extreme methods, it means that what Dai Mubai did has gone far beyond the limit, to the point that Xuan Hao can no longer suppress his killing intent!”

Qin Mingyue found it increasingly strange, his brows furrowing: "But I really can't understand it. Since Dai Mubai had already witnessed Xuan Hao's terrifying strength at the academy gate, if he had a shred of common sense, why would he still actively provoke Xuan Hao afterward?"

Upon hearing this question, Flander's expression became increasingly hesitant. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and briefly explained that Zhu Zhuqing was actually Dai Mubai's fiancée, and the complicated fate of their arranged marriage.

"I see, my fiancée..."

However, to Flander's surprise, Qin Ming's attitude did not change after learning about this extremely sensitive relationship.

He shook his head, his eyes still clear: "Dean, Xuan Hao is indeed strong and domineering, but he is by no means the kind of unreasonable, bullying, and tyrannical scoundrel. He has no shortage of excellent girls around him, and he would never stoop so low as to forcibly interfere in other people's relationships."

"There must have been an irreconcilable conflict between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing long ago. Xuan Hao was at most a catalyst, or rather, he gave Zhu Zhuqing a choice to get out of the quagmire."

Qin Ming glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who was giving Tang San tactical instructions at the other end of the rest area, his eyes darkening, and his tone carrying a serious warning:

"Dean, as your student, for your safety and the safety of Shrek Academy, I still have to give you a piece of advice—in the days to come, you'd better keep your distance from that master."

Flander was taken aback: "What do you mean? Xiao Gang, he..."

“Xuan Hao has already made his stance extremely clear.” Qin Ming interrupted Flander, his voice low but chilling, “He will absolutely not back down from Yu Xiaogang.”

"He said he would beat me every time he saw me. He would take action at any time if he was in a bad mood."

Seeing Flander's astonished expression, Qin Ming added bitterly, "Dean, Xuan Hao is usually reasonable. But when he's clearly being unreasonable and just venting his personal grudges, he won't listen to a word."

"When the time comes, if anyone dares to try to break up the fight or stand up for Yu Xiaogang, he will definitely beat that person up along with him, without any mercy!"

Upon hearing this, Flander's face turned extremely ugly, and his brows furrowed into a tight knot.

He sighed bitterly, pushed up his slipping glasses, and shook his head without hesitation, rejecting the suggestion: "Qin Ming, I appreciate your kindness. But I absolutely cannot sever ties with Xiao Gang at this time."

"You don't know, Xiao Gang, Er Long, and I were sworn brothers back then. The bond of the Golden Iron Triangle can't be broken so easily. Now that he's down on his luck and has come to my Shrek Academy, if I, as the eldest brother, were to abandon him to protect myself, what kind of person would I, Flander, be?"

Seeing Flander's stubborn and helpless expression, Qin Ming sighed inwardly. He had long expected this outcome; Dean Flander was too sentimental, which was why Shrek Academy was in such a predicament.

Since he couldn't persuade him otherwise, Qin Ming had no choice but to settle for second best and offered a reasonable suggestion:

"Dean, since you've decided to protect him, you'd better go and have a private talk with the master as soon as possible. In any case, make him think carefully and see if he can figure out the root cause of Xuan Hao's targeting of him."

Qin Ming looked directly at Flander, his tone very serious: "Xuan Hao always has a reason for doing things. Since he's so persistent in pursuing the Master, it can't be unintentional. If we can find the source of this hostility and address it accordingly, there might still be a glimmer of hope to resolve it."

"But if we can't find the reason, or if this grudge can't be resolved at all..."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Qin Ming's eyes, but he still decided to lay out the harshest reality:

"Then you'd better prepare yourself mentally in advance. If it really comes to that, and the master suddenly loses an arm or a leg while walking on a dark road, or... ends up with the exact same fate as Dai Mubai, don't be surprised."

When Flander heard "the same fate as Dai Mubai," he was jolted awake, his eyes filled with horror.

"Don't think I'm exaggerating." Qin Ming took a deep breath. "Xuan Hao usually looks like a noble young master, but once he gets emotional and is determined to mess with someone, he never hesitates to use some underhanded methods."

"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Think about it carefully."

Chapter 193 is most likely because of Erlong.

……

After leaving behind this weighty warning, Qin Ming turned and blended into the crowd, returning to the Royal Fighting Team's rest area.

In the corner, Flander stood alone in the shadows for a long time, his expression shifting. Finally, he gritted his teeth, turned, and strode towards the other end of the rest area.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was holding a tactical board, making final arrangements for Tang San and the others for tonight's team battle.

"Xiaogang, stop for a moment and come with me."

Without a word, Flander grabbed Yu Xiaogang's arm and practically dragged him to the secluded corner.

"Flander, what are you doing? The tactics haven't been arranged yet." Yu Xiaogang was pulled and staggered a bit, rubbing his wrist, his face full of confusion and a hint of anger.
