Chapter 3318: Defying Orders

In the group of people known to them, there were only a few who were both strong enough and particularly skilled at Spatial Ability.

Apart from himself and Xu Xiaoyan, that only left Gu Yuena!

Tang Wulin shook his head, feeling slightly guilty, "I don't want to tell Gu Yue about this for the time being. After all, we've just done that kind of thing!"

Even with their relationship, he was too embarrassed to seek her help!

Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "Had I known, I wouldn't have let Xie Xie scout around. Now we've not only failed to understand the situation but also offended Gu Yue!"

Of course, the bigger reason was that he blamed his own inadequate control over his Spatial Ability, otherwise, they wouldn't be so helpless!

Xie Xie's mouth twitched, "Xiao Yan, why do I feel like you're beating around the bush? I'm feeling aggrieved here, you know?"

After all, when Tang Wulin contacted him about the space turmoil here, he had already arrived at the soul beast forest!

Yuanen Yehui coughed lightly, trying to smooth things over, "Xie Xie, Xiao Yan was just speaking off the cuff; don't take it to heart!"

Xie Xie suddenly changed his previous attitude and stretched out his arms, "Ye Hui, you're the kindest to me, come, let me give you a hug!"

Yuanen Yehui's expression immediately turned cold as he rebuked, "Get lost!"

This guy, always so capricious in his thinking, no matter what the occasion!

Xie Xie's reaction was to clutch his heart as if hurt, "Ye Hui, you almost lost me today, and yet you tell me to get lost. That really hurts!"

Yuanen Yehui looked puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

Could it be that something else happened in the soul beast forest?

Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan were also drawn in by curiosity and looked over with interested glances…

They wanted to know what had happened to Xie Xie in the soul beast forest…

Xie Xie turned around, his back to them as he explained, "It's nothing, I was just a bit careless during the fight with those two ferocious beasts and almost got taken down by them."

"But luckily, I'm smart enough, I used a clone in advance to deceive them!!"

Tang Wulin seemed to catch onto something and asked suspiciously, "Xie Xie, are you saying… you were nearly killed by those two ferocious beasts?"

That shouldn't be the case!

With Xie Xie's abilities, even if all the ferocious beasts launched a joint attack, he shouldn't be unable to escape!

Xie Xie pursed his lips, a few sparks of anger flickering in his eyes…

"Hmm… I thought only the Thousand Demon King would be troublesome, but I didn't expect the other beast to be capable of launching spiritual attacks, so I took a big loss!"

"But you all don't need to worry about me, the next time I encounter them, I definitely won't lose!"

Xu Xiaoyan stepped forward and knocked hard on his head, "Who's worried about you? How dare you be so careless in battle, do you have a death wish? Or do you not realize how precious your life is?"

"Of course, I'm referring to the price that Ye Hui paid to save you!"

Yuanen Yehui's cheeks flushed slightly, but he said nothing…

Xie Xie chuckled, "Hey, I know that, I've returned safely, haven't I?"

Then, as if he had remembered something, he volunteered, "Wulin, you mentioned before that Xiao Yan suffered a backlash while trying to use her Spatial Ability here; why don't I give it a try?"

Perhaps, his own Spatial Teleportation Ability could enter during the turbulence…

In that case, there was a chance to reach the place where Teacher Xu was!

Tang Wulin immediately refused, "No, it's not something I can do to let you try when I know there's danger."

Xu Xiaoyan also agreed, "Xie Xie, don't be rash. If I hadn't disconnected my control over space in time, it could have been more than just a backlash!"

Yuanen Yehui was equally unsupportive, "Xie Xie, even Xiao Yan said so, you must not be careless!"

Xie Xie, however, didn't change his attitude, "Since I've come all this way, surely you can't expect me to just do nothing, right?"

"Don't worry, if there's any danger, I'll stop immediately!"

```

If even Xu Xiaoyan can give it a try, I certainly don't want to hide behind a woman—that would just be too cowardly!

Yuanen Yehui, knowing she couldn't stop him, spoke again, "Xie Xie, are you really sure about this?"

Xie Xie nodded firmly, "Mhm!"

The former sighed and then turned to Tang Wulin, "Wulin, let Xie Xie have a try. You know what he's like; even if we don't agree, he'll come here by himself later!"

"With us here, it will at least be safer!"

"Well... okay, but Xie Xie, the moment there's any danger, you must stop immediately. Although understanding the cause of this spatial instability is important, you are more important!"

Xie Xie wasn't just a comrade who had been through life and death with them over the years; he was also an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion!

Should they lose him, it would be a tremendous loss for Shrek Academy!

Xie Xie patted his shoulder, "Wulin, I'm quite happy to hear you say that."

"But now, it's my turn. Everyone, step back!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin and the others stepped back several tens of meters without any more objections...

Only then did Xie Xie release his Martial Soul, gripping the Light and Dark Dragon Dagger tightly...

He planned to use his Spatial Ability to attempt entry the next time the space became unstable!

...

Spirit Pagoda!

Hearing the message from the communicator, Di Tian's face had turned pitch black...

"I understand!"

After saying that, he hung up the communicator...

Seeing his expression, Bi Ji asked in confusion, "Di Tian? What happened? Is there a problem at the soul beast forest?"

According to her guess, it was very likely that the secret about Artificial Spirit Beasts hidden within the Spirit Pagoda had been exposed!

Di Tian replied gravely, "Mhm!"

"That Xie Xie, after saving people and leaving, actually went back to the soul beast forest!"

"And he had a great battle with the ferocious beast I sent to guard that place!"

Bi Ji's pupils shrank as she hastily inquired, "Are you saying that even together, they weren't a match for Xie Xie?"

They had also seen detailed files on each member of the Shrek Seven Monsters!

Di Tian denied her words, "No... on the contrary, when they joined forces, they nearly killed Xie Xie!"

This statement only made Bi Ji more confused...

"If there was no defeat, then Xie Xie shouldn't possibly know the secret hidden in the soul beast forest!"

"Why do you still look so upset?"

Di Tian took a deep breath, "Bi Ji, the point isn't about that. When I sent them to the soul beast forest, I specially instructed them, if they encounter anyone from Shrek Academy, just to take them down, no need to kill!"

"But that Thousand Demon King went and did such a thing, if the master finds out..."

Hearing this, Bi Ji understood why the former was so angry...

"That Thousand Demon King really is good for nothing, always screwing things up!"

"When it gets back, it must be taught a harsh lesson; otherwise, it will disobey your orders again next time!"
