Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Don't Leave, Zhao Wuji Must Protect His Own!_1
"Wait a moment! Are you just going to walk away after attacking my students?!"
Seeing the people from Canghui Academy about to leave,
Zhao Wuji suddenly spoke with an icy tone.
Once the Immovable King Body was activated, Zhao Wuji was full of fighting spirit.
If he didn't stretch his muscles tonight, he would feel as though he had let himself down.
And these people from Canghui Academy were his target.
"This..."
Ye Zhiqu was suddenly stunned.
At the moment, his mind was spinning rapidly.
With his Soul Power, trying to contend with Zhao Wuji was like an egg striking a rock.
A level 76 Soul Sage could almost squish him with one slap!
But given Zhao Wuji's current stance, it seemed impossible to avoid this confrontation!
Should he hold off Zhao Wuji himself, then let Ye Feng lead the people from Canghui Academy away?
After all, these were the elite students of Canghui Academy. If anything went awry, not to mention his position as the Director of External Affairs, even the Dean of Canghui Academy wouldn't get off scot-free!
"Hmm, what Senior Zhao Wuji has said is correct; we from Canghui Academy indeed cannot simply walk away."
Just when Ye Zhiqu was bracing himself for the inevitable battle, a voice rang out, ready to lead the others away. It was actually Ye Feng.
"Hmph! At least you, lad, have some sense of responsibility. I, Zhao Wuji, may consider not killing you today!"
Zhao Wuji glanced at Tang San, who was being supported by Xiaowu, and Dai Mubai, who was being cared for by Ma Hongjun and Oscar, and said indifferently.
The reputation they had built up at Shrek Academy today had been trashed, and Zhao Wuji had to reclaim it.
Otherwise, what would others think of Shrek Academy?
These kids were truly disappointing!
He had been paying attention to the provocation all the while.
He had expected them to get a hands-on experience against others.
But as it turned out, they were the ones who got the practice.
And they ended up in such a sorry state.
It was a disgrace that went beyond embarrassment!
"Ye Feng, you??"
Ye Zhiqu stared at Ye Feng, filled with confusion.
What on earth was this guy up to??
The others from Canghui Academy were also puzzled at this point.
Could it be that Senior Brother Ye Feng was going to take on this man who looked like a bear?
The man was a Soul Sage, after all!!
Was Senior Brother Ye Feng sure about this?!
However, Ye Feng slightly gestured with his hand, signaling them not to panic and to act accordingly.
"I remember Young Master Dai saying just now that he will take responsibility for all the damages here. Now that so many houses in this town have been destroyed, we at Canghui Academy also have a responsibility and duty. Everyone, please give Young Master Dai an estimate of your losses."
That was what Ye Feng started saying at that moment.
Zhao Wuji was definitely going to fight!
It was just that it wasn't quite appropriate here.
There were two reasons: first, there were too many people around, and going all out in combat would inevitably attract attention.
Second, not even those at Canghui Academy knew the full extent of his strength, and challenging Zhao Wuji would require him to go all out, which was tantamount to revealing himself.
All the strength he had hidden for so many years would be wasted.
It would invite endless trouble afterward.
It could even affect Xue'er.
Although he really wanted the reward,
Especially the summoning of the second Martial Soul, he dreamed of it.
But one should take things slowly and not rush.
Steady and sure wins the race tonight when there's no one around.
"Ah???"
Zhao Wuji was somewhat dumbfounded when he heard this!
What was this kid up to now??
And on the other side, Ye Zhiqu was also full of bewilderment.
He actually brought up compensation?
What exactly was the other side trying to do.
"So, can everyone who has suffered losses demand compensation from this so-called Young Master Dai?"
"That's right, the little stall I had just set up was also flipped over, can I get compensation?"
"My clothes are ripped..."
...
While the people from Canghui Academy and Shrek Academy were bewildered by Ye Feng's unorthodox approach, someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
After all, their shops had been destroyed, and some even had their homes ruined.
They didn't dare to speak up while gods were fighting.
But now this person from Canghui Academy was saying something about supporting them with compensation.
If they didn't speak now, it would be too late later on.
With the first person starting,
demands for compensation buzzed around quickly like a swarm of bees.
Each person began to voice their claims, one after another.
"Just now, Young Master Dai promised to bear all the compensation costs for damage caused by our fight in this town! From great losses like houses and properties to trivial things like a needle or a thread, you can quote a price for compensation! Young Master Dai, you won't go back on your word now, will you?!"
Ye Feng first addressed the crowd,
then turned his gaze towards Dai Mubai.
"This, naturally I won't go back on my word, but..."
Dai Mubai, supported by Ma Hongjun and Oscar, said with some trepidation.
For some reason, he felt that there was something off about the townspeople tonight.
He didn't remember involving this many people, did he?
"Great! Since Young Master Dai is so straightforward, everyone should name your claims. Today, we at Canghui Academy will act as supervisors, ensuring nobody is short of compensation. Guaranteed, if you have it noted, you'll get paid! Teacher Ye Zhiqu, do you have pen and ink?"
Ye Feng's gaze shifted towards Ye Zhiqu!
"Ah? Oh, yes, I do!"
Ye Zhiqu quickly took out the pen and ink.
"Pang Xing, you guys move a big table over here, and make it large!!"
Ye Feng instructed.
"Okay!!"
Pang Xing and Zhou Feng were very efficient.
They directly carried out two large tables and placed them in front of the people from Shrek Academy.
Ye Feng picked up the pen and unfolded the long roll of paper.
The Shrek entourage was completely dumbfounded.
This included Tang San, Xiaowu, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
Of course, the most dumbfounded was Zhao Wuji.
He had already summoned his Martial Soul.
But in an instant, a few hundred people surged forward, surrounding the Shrek delegation so tightly that not a drop could seep through.
He stood in the midst, looking like a statue.
The kind that's on display for spectators.
This made him feel very disordered. If it was Soul Masters surrounding him, he could use his soul skill to send these people flying.
But these were not Soul Masters; they were civilians.
Zhao Wuji, no matter how cruel, couldn't just cut down hundreds of people, could he?
And he was with students!
Of course, the most, most exaggerated was the brat he intended to crush just moments ago; now he was right beside him.
His stunned brain kept repeating, this guy has some nerve!!
Right in front of him, that fellow had arranged two tables, spread out the paper, and got the pen ready!
In the posture of an accountant.
"Those who want money, come and get it! Otherwise, once we at Canghui Academy take a break, you can't blame us for not helping if you get nothing!"
Ye Feng called out at that moment,
as if he was completely ignoring Zhao Wuji behind him, who had manifested the real body of the Motionless Bright King,
as well as the rest of the Shrek party.
"Me! I am the owner of this restaurant! Esteemed Soul Master from Canghui Academy, please see justice done for me, look, everything is destroyed, my little restaurant earns at least five hundred gold coins a month, but now it's all gone, at least, at least five thousand gold coins in compensation!"
At that moment, the shopkeeper, trembling a bit, held up three fingers.
Asking Soul Masters for money for the first time, he was very nervous!
Indeed he was
"Ah? Five? Five hundred thousand gold coins, okay, I've got it noted down! Shopkeeper, you're claiming five hundred thousand gold coins!!"
Ye Feng was seen writing in the account book.
