**Chapter 71**

  Hearing Master Xuan's reply, Du Bu Si responded mercilessly.

  The Body Sed Shrek Academy had always been in a hostile state. After all, Du Bu Si's brother was killed by Moon, which deepened his dislike for Shrek Academy.

  There was another critical point to sider—the evil dragon Yunxi that Du Bu Si mentioned. She was also a twin spirit master with a body spirit. Her two spirits sisted of a body spirit finger and the evil dragon spirit. At that time, Yunxi was sidered a rare genius on the Douluo ti. However, because her martial soul resembled the evil fire phoenix, she was often unstable and untrolble, sometimes causing disasters.

  Despite this, Yunxi was essentially a kind person. Aware of her martial soul's drawbacks, she even chose to abandon her cultivation to prevent any instanalevolence. Ultimately, however, she was killed by Shrek Academy.

  At that time, Shrek Academy had maintained a righteous facade, insisting that she was an evil soul master. But Du Bu Si knew better. They were more afraid of the possibility that Yunxi would join the Body Sect due to her body-martial soul. Du Bu Si had invited her to join that year, but she deed, not wanting to hurt anyone again. He never expected that while trying to avoid causing pain, she would end up suffering at the hands of others.

  This is why Du Bu Si held Yunxi's story close to his heart. Seeing the case of the Evil Fire Phoenix immediately brought back memories of the past. Anger swelled within him, and he questioned Xuan Lao without hesitation.

  After hearing this, Xuan Lao was at a loss for words. Holy, he had made that decision to kill her at the time. Xuan Lao had invited her to join Shrek Academy, but she deed, pretending not to want to practiymore in an effort to assist others. Xuan Lao believed she would deceive him; if he let her go, she would undoubtedly turn to the Body Sect. Therefore, he chose to take a swiftly.

  Now, her case did bear simirities to Ma Xiaotao's, leaving Xuan Lao uain about how to respond for the moment.

  But while Xuan Laled to find words, Yan Shaozhe kly what to say. After all, he t at verbal sparring, and he began:

  "What the Poiso Master asserts is misguided."

  "Though Evil Dragon Yunxi and my disciple Ma Xiaotao may appear to be in simir circumstahey are entirely different."

  "Evil Dragon Yunxi harmed others and must face sequences for her as."

  "My disciple, oher hand, has yet to cause harm. Although the i with Huo Yuhao was indeed dangerous, it ultimately ended without tragedy."

  "If Ma Xiaotao had killed Huo Yuhao, our esteemed Shrek Academy would uphold justice impartially and not shield her from sequences."

  "But for now, Huo Yuhao is safe! Thus, her situation must be seen as distinct."

  Yan Shaozhe tinuously spoke, his words dripping with a remarkable double standard.

  Upon hearing this, Du Bu Si's anger fred, and he couldn't help but retort, "Nonsense!"

  He khat he couldn't defeat Yan Shaozhe in a verbal csh, given his superior eloquence. So, Du Bu Si quickly added, "Justice is in the hearts of the people! I believe everyone has already formed their own clusions about who is right and who is wrong in this matter; I 't be bothered tue further!"

  "But I'll state this clearly: If one day your disciple iently kills an i because she 't trol the evil fire, I will retaliate!" he decred. "That's how you treated Evil Dragon Yunxi back then!"

  With a snort, he fell silent, leaving Yan Shaozhe and others with frozen expressions. They couldn't say mu response; after all, this was the pinnacle of what Yan Shaozhe could defend. Engaging further would risk dissension among the other soul masters on the Douluo ti.

  As they tio watch the s, it dispyed:

  [After Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong fainted, more than a dozen figures approached with astonishing speed, arriving at the shore in a few blinks of an eye.]

  ["Not good! The students from the outer courtyard have been injured!"]

  [The leader was an old man in white who seemed to step through time, appearing beside Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in an instant.]

  [He raised his hands, causing the bodies of the two to levitate.]

  ["Fortunately, they just fainted and haven't sustained any injuries! Teacher Li, please tend to them."]

  [The old man instructed a middle-aged man in white nearby.]

  [The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward, took charge of Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, and utilized his martial spirit ability to treat them.]

  ["We found Xiaotao!"]

  [Other teachers hastily searched around aually located Ma Xiaotao ier, bringio the surface.]

  [The old man hurried over to assist Ma Xiaotao in her healing.]

  [It turned out that he was a healing spirit master but had just been unwilling to tend to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong previously.]

  [Now, he ied his spirit power into Ma Xiaotao, breathing a sigh of relief upon disc she was okay.]

  ["Fortunately, no serious mistake occurred. It seems Xiao Tao retained some sciousness."]

  ["Teacher Li, take these two students bad instruct them tet what they witnessed earlier. They will be expelled if they reveal it. Simply provide them with some pensation."]

  [After delivering the directive, he instructed the other teachers, "Let's depart quickly. Xiao Tao o rest. Take her home and find some spiritual medie for her to recover."]

  [Thus, they promptly dispersed.]

  [Teacher Li quickly plied with the old man's orders.]

  [He first returned Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to their dormitory, then used his soul power to forcibly awaken them from their deep slumber.]

  [Both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong opeheir eyes groggily.]

  [Wang Dong was the first to bee irate, exg, "What oh just happened? What kind of monster was that?"]

  [Teacher Li answered calmly, "You are both fine now. Please fet everything that occurred just now. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the academy."]

  ["Here are two items for you as pensation. I trust you both uand."]

  [As he spoke, he threw a green object to each of them.]

  [They instinctively raised their hands, catg the items, as the middle-aged man in white took off a.]

  [Before departing, he added o message: "Go to css! But remember tet everything that just happened!"]
