"Xi'er, you know I've come this far..."

The repeated use of the term "incorrigible" made Lin Xi frown, but recalling the moments they had spent together over the past six years, she couldn't deny that, at least for now, the three of them were companions who could entrust their lives to each other.

Seeing that Tang San still wanted to take another gamble, Lin Xi took out three special invitations to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy from her soul-sending tool.

He looked at Tang San seriously and said.

"As sworn siblings, this is the only thing I can do for you right now. This is a special invitation that will be effective no matter when you go to the Heaven Dou Royal Family within the next two years. Consider it a way out for both of us."

"As for now? I'll gamble with you one last time! Although, it seems like you've been losing ever since you met that guy."

"Alright, go down and pack your luggage. I don't want to have to walk all the way from here to Soto City."

With a gentle, radiant smile, Tang San looked at the girl whose expression was one of disdain, yet who had still silently resolved all his worries. His heart was filled with sweetness, and he secretly resolved to make their future wedding the most dazzling jewel on the entire continent.

Of course, he never revealed this one-sided love to anyone other than himself. Even Xiao Wu, who is now completely infatuated with him, is just a precious tool for him to get to know his adopted sister better.

With these thoughts in mind, Tang San hurriedly ran out of the dormitory and began using the money he had saved over the years to hire a carriage and prepare various items needed for the journey.

"Miss, is he really worth such an investment?"

A worried voice came from a corner of the dormitory, cautiously inquiring about Lin Xi's current attitude.

Now, facing the question from the person closest to her here, Lin Xi's eyes showed a hint of confusion. Then, that confusion quickly disappeared, and she said with a slight sense of helplessness.

"I don't know, but my brother sent me here to grow up in peace. There must be some other reason behind it. Tang San is probably one of them, or even the most important one. So, I want to see what it is about him that has attracted my brother's attention!"

"Tang San has a flawed personality and is extremely extreme. Although he is very good to those close to him, he always values ​​himself the most. Miss, he can share hardships but not wealth."

"If Miss changes her mind, with my current abilities, even if Tang San has a Super Douluo standing behind him, I can kill him on the spot. But if Miss still wants to continue trying, then before I die, I will ensure that nothing can harm a single hair on your head!"

A trace of killing intent emanated from Yuan'er's words, yet she perfectly concealed it within her own body, minimizing any disturbance to the outside world. Her words were incredibly serious and resolute, truly radiating an almost tangible killing intent towards something that seemed to have truly captivated her young lady.

The slight chill that spread through the dormitory because of this murderous aura dissipated without a trace in Lin Xi's calm yet gentle words.

"Sister Yuan'er, you should know me. I'm not stupid enough to be fooled by others. However, I can get away anytime I want. The only reason I'm not leaving now is because I'm a little unwilling. After all, this is the first time I've ever really cared about something for so long!"

After a sigh, as if she had thought of something, Lin Xi's calm and gentle words now carried a hint of disgust and a touch of excitement as she spoke with great enthusiasm.

"By the way, Sister Yuan'er, you've been secretly observing Yu Xiaogang for quite some time now, but so far you haven't found anyone protecting him closely, have you?"

"Never."

“Then let him experience some pain after we leave Nottingham City! We don’t need a big punishment, just knock out his teeth and break his legs. We should at least give Bibi Dong some face.”

"clear!"

In an instant, after agreeing on a small revenge against Yu Xiaogang, the atmosphere between the master and servant gradually became more cheerful, and the topic shifted from the original heavy tone to some relaxing topics.

———————

Several days later, on the main road to the Kingdom of Barak, Tang San, who had been driving the horse outside the carriage for a long time, smiled as he looked at the city of Soto, which was already faintly visible.

After lifting the curtain slightly, he turned and pointed in the direction of Soto City, excitedly speaking to Lin Xi and Xiao Wu inside the car.

“Xi’er, Xiao Wu, we’ll be in Soto City in about half an hour. However, according to the map, it seems we can go directly to Shrek Academy a little further ahead. Why don’t we go check out Shrek Academy first?”

"If you think it's alright, you can stay for now. If not, you can come to Soto City for a while and then go to Tiandou City for a stroll?"

Knowing his master well enough to understand that he was a complete fraud, Tang San also abandoned the idea of ​​"once a teacher, always a father".

At least for now, if Yu Xiaogang really screws him over, then let's not talk about anything else, Tang San will just take care of Yu Xiaogang in his old age and see him off in his final days.

In any case, given the current state of dwindling trust, the only reason he was willing to come to Shrek Academy was because he knew that Yu Xiaogang's vengeful friend was a Soul Saint who had recruited several exceptionally talented students. He believed that coming here would greatly increase the chances of him building a team for Yu Xiaogang.

"Let's go to Soto City first! Rest for a night before coming to Shrek Academy. After all, you've been very tired from the journey."

"Yes, yes, Third Brother, the carriage is so boring! Let's go to Soto City for a stroll first!"

"Okay, then you all better sit tight."

As he spoke, Tang San slowly accelerated towards Soto City. After entering the city, he returned the carriage to the Soto branch of the carriage and horse shop and retrieved a large deposit. Just as he was about to take Lin Xi and Xiao Wu to find a decent hotel to stay in...

Turning around, they found that Xiao Wu was gone again, while Lin Xi had just bought enough supplies for her next long journey on this street.

"Looks like she's run away again."

"That's normal, it won't happen after a few more beatings."

They exchanged a glance, whispered a message to Xiaowu about what would happen next, and then the two of them followed the clues and found a hotel decorated in pink.

Then, as expected, they found Xiao Wu, who was having a conflict with someone inside the hotel and was about to roll up her sleeves, along with a tall, handsome blond man who was accompanied by two stunning twins.

“I’ll stop Xiaowu, you go stop that person and ask what happened. If it’s our fault, then apologize. If not, then fight! We don’t cause trouble, but we’re not afraid of trouble either.”
