Chapter 83: Zhou Yu's True Identity

After leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Oscar strode ahead with a face full of anger.

"Xiao Ao, wait!"

Tang San quickly caught up, calling out his name.

Oscar stopped, turned around abruptly, and shouted in accusation: "You keep saying you have no such thoughts toward Rongrong, so why didn't you refuse Sect Master Ning directly just now?"

"Xiao Ao, listen to my explanation!"

Tang San sighed helplessly and continued: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffered a heavy blow from the Spirit Hall; Sect Master Ning merely wants to win over our Tang Sect. What matters most now is that we join forces to fight the Spirit Hall. Do you understand?"

"Then must Rongrong be sacrificed?"

Oscar was not unaware of Ning Fengzhi's intentions, but deep in his heart he resisted using Ning Rongrong as a bargaining chip.

His tone carried an unyielding resolve: "This time I returned prepared to snatch Rongrong away from Lin Yu. But I never expected... that my opponent would turn out to be you."

"..."

Hearing these words, Tang San was instantly speechless.

Anyone with eyes to see could tell that Ning Rongrong had feelings for Tang San.

Not wanting to offend this brother, Tang San said tactfully: "Xiao Ao, are the glasses on your head just for show? Why not put them on?"

"What do you mean?"

Oscar paused, completely unable to grasp his meaning.

Just then, a familiar voice came from ahead.

"Xiao Ao! Xiao San!"

Tang San and Oscar turned at the sound; the arrivals were none other than the prince of the Xingluo Diguo, Dai Mubai, and his princess, Zhu Zhuqing.

"Dai Laoda! Zhuqing!"

The two hurried forward, shouting with faces full of joy: "How did you two get here?"

After not seeing each other for several years, Dai Mubai was equally excited; his evil eyes couldn't help but size up the two brothers from head to toe before he teased: "Oh my, Xiao Ao, your build is getting more and more manly. As for Xiao San, you're becoming more and more like a refined young lady."

"Get lost! Dai Laoda, you've gotten stronger too!"

Tang San raised his hand and punched the muscular man's chest.

Oscar's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing quietly beside Dai Mubai.

Now, her figure was even more fiery and captivating; those two towering peaks, impossible to climb, naturally inspired admiration and longing.

With a mix of admiration and mockery, he said: "Of course he's strong! Just look at what he eats every day!"

"Xiao Ao, if you dare speak nonsense again! Be careful or Mubai and Third Brother will beat you up!"

Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand with a shy face, warning Oscar.

Who knew, his tone shifted as he said: "Hmph! Call him Xiao San and he's Third Brother; call me Xiao Ao. Dai Laoda, you'd better keep an eye on Zhuqing, or she might get snatched away!"

The Shrek Seven Devils were as close as brothers and sisters.

Such playful banter had not been seen for a long time.

Dai Mubai naturally did not take it to heart; he said seriously: "Alright, stop fooling around! The seven of us haven't gathered together in several years. Let's go back to the Academy together and have a proper reunion!"

"..."

Hearing "back to Shrek," Tang San's expression instantly froze.

Seeing this, Oscar could only set aside the matter of Ning Rongrong and turned to say: "Dai Laoda, recently... many things have happened!"

Before he could finish, Dai Mubai let out a long sigh and took over: "I know! This time Zhuqing and I returned to discuss with the Tiandou Diguo a joint effort to resist the Spirit Hall."

Oscar couldn't help but be stunned; the other party clearly did not yet know about recent events.

So he continued in a grave tone: "Dai Laoda, let me finish first..."

After hearing Oscar's words, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing instantly widened their eyes, too shocked to speak.

Then, almost simultaneously, they blurted out in disbelief: "Xiao Wu and Pangzi... are dead?"

Oscar turned his gaze to Tang San; Xiao Wu had died to save him, while Ma Hongjun had died by his hand. And when Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing heard that Dean Flender and Yu Xiaogang had also died at Tang San's hands, the two instantly burned with rage.

Dai Mubai suddenly grabbed Tang San's collar and roared through gritted teeth: "Tang San, you are utterly insane!"

Among the Seven Devils, Dai Mubai was the first to enter Shrek Academy, and his bond with Dean Flender was the deepest.

If Ma Hongjun deserved to die, what about Flender and Yu Xiaogang? "Dai Laoda..."

Tears glistened in Tang San's eyes as he explained with guilt: "At that time, Xiao Wu's death hit me too hard. I couldn't control the killing qi within me for a moment, so in a fit of impulse, I killed Pangzi..."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai could empathize; the incident where Ma Hongjun went mad with alcohol had Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu as its victims.

In truth, deep in his heart, how he wished he could have killed that fire turkey himself.

But back then, how had everyone persuaded themselves not to act impulsively?

Now, to make matters worse, Tang San had done it himself; it was truly unexpected.

At this moment, the sorrowful Zhu Zhuqing thought of Liu Erlong and hurriedly asked: "Then... what about Teacher Erlong?"

Oscar was about to reply when Ning Rongrong's voice came from behind, calling out: "Zhuqing!"

The two sisters had not met for many years; upon hearing the voice, Zhu Zhuqing moved immediately. She hurried forward and embraced Ning Rongrong tightly, her eyes slightly moist as she whispered: "Rongrong, long time no see!"

Of the Shrek Seven Devils, only five remained.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu arrived at Shrek.

First, he went to visit Liu Erlong, trying to persuade her to leave this place of trouble.

However, Liu Erlong at this moment only wanted to take revenge on Tang San.

The once glorious Golden Iron Triangle now left her alone.

As the saying goes, "time breeds affection"; Zhou Yu realized he had deeply fallen in love with the woman before him.

Gazing at Liu Erlong, he promised her: "Long'er, rest assured! I will definitely make Tang San pay the price and avenge your grievance."

Liu Erlong heard this, and a warm current surged in her heart, yet it was mingled with worry.

She did not want Zhou Yu to risk danger again; her own world was already shattered. If Zhou Yu suffered any mishap, she would truly have nothing left.

"Lin Yu..."

Liu Erlong gently caressed the other's face with deep affection and sobbed softly, "I do not want you to be in danger! If you wish to take revenge, you need not act personally. Just tell Bibi Dong the news that Xiao Gang was killed by Tang San; she will surely not let Tang San go."

"..."

Zhou Yu did not expect that the first thing on Liu Erlong's mind was his safety.

He had already planned to formally declare war on Tang San and no longer hide his identity.

However, he absolutely could not allow anything untoward to happen to Liu Erlong.

He decided to tell the other his background and the deep blood feud between him and Tang San.

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's eyes widened in shock, and she was too stunned to speak.

"What did you say?"

"Tang San killed your parents and your teacher?"

She found it hard to believe that Zhou Yu harbored such a deep blood feud in the depths of his heart, yet every time he faced Tang San, he could suppress his killing intent and reveal not the slightest trace.

Liu Erlong then asked, "So, you approached him just for revenge?"

"Mm!"

Zhou Yu nodded firmly.

Of course, he had said everything that should be said; he would not utter a single word of what should not be said.

Since he had already deceived this woman, he would deceive her for the rest of her life.
