True nature revealed

Under Hansen's arrangement, Tai Long fooled the teacher into leading the Shrek guys to a guest courtyard in the academy, under the guise that it was the dean's order.

And the same day, Hansen visited their courtyard secretly in the evening. There he saw Yu Xiaogang giving the students his lectures, most likely telling them one of his plagiarized theories.

Hansen waited patiently for some time for Yu Xiaogang to be alone. And his efforts paid off. After about half an hour, Yu Xiaogang finally finished his lectures as he entered his own room.

Hansen immediately got into action and apparated outside the window of Yu Xiaogang's room. Naturally he had already checked out every corner of this courtyard before they arrived . And that's why he arranged for them to stay in this courtyard. This way he can apparate anywhere within this courtyard.

As soon as he apparated near the window, Hansen deftly hid himself. Then he looked inside the room through a gap in the window.

There he was , Yu Xiaogang , sitting in a meditation posture.

" Heh, and he says to the outside world that he has already given up on cultivation. Hypocrite. "

Hansen got amused by this.

Meanwhile Yu Xiaogang persisted for about fifteen minutes before he angrily stood up and punched at the wall in frustration. But he still managed to stop himself in the end.

"I can't feel the soul energy entering my body at all. Why? I am God's chosen child, destined to change this rotten world. But why is this happening to me? "

Hansen watched as Yu Xiaogang took out his frustration.

Soon he sat down on the bed and adjusted his mood, seemingly prepared to go out.

"Well, this is it. "

Hansen also got ready to take action as he summoned his martial soul.

Holding his magic wand high, Hansen pointed it at Yu Xiaogang from the gap in the window.

"Imperius ! "

Hansen chanted softly. And since this curse had no coloured light effect, it was perfect for secret casting.

Immediately , Yu Xiaogang in the room stopped abruptly and stared blankly at the roof like a statue.

The Imperius Curse (Imperio) was a tool of the Dark Arts, and was one of the three Unforgivable Curses. When cast successfully, the curse placed the victim completely under the caster's control, making the victim unquestionably obedient to the caster. A person under the curse was said to be Imperiused.

Notably, a person with exceptional strength of will could resist it. But unfortunately Yu Xiaogang wasn't one of them. And different from Harry Potter world, Hansen has cultivated his mental power, thus increasing its power exponentially.

After waiting for a few seconds to confirm, Hansen apparated inside the room and looked at Yu Xiaogang straight in the face.

" Well well, what do we have here. The self proclaimed grandmaster who even managed to get two top class beauties to fall for him head over heels. If nothing else, I have to praise your means. But I don't know if that will be the case after today. "

Hansen said playfully as he looked at him.

"Now then, I don't want to decieve Liu Erlong too much either. So I'll just give a simple order , you have to reveal your true colors today, in this room, two hours later. Till then you can do whatever you want. You'll speak nothing but truth. "

Hansen smiled sinisterly and apparated out of the room in a flash. Meanwhile Yu Xiaogang also came back to his sense after Hansen left.

Since the order was only to speak truth, it didn't interfere with his other actions very much and didn't attract any attention.

....

Night time.

"Hey Xiaogang, we're leaving for dinner. Come on out. "

Flender knocked on Yu Xiaogang's door.

Soon the door was opened and Yu Xiaogang came out. After he took a look, Yu Xiaogang saw that everyone was ready to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

"I'm sorry Flender, but I want to have a few words with Man Chu about his martial soul at the moment."

Yu Xiaogang said with his usual aloof expression.

"Does it have to be now... I mean you can talk later... "

Flender asked awkwardly.

"Well it's just that I suddenly had an idea and I wanted to confirm it. You guys go ahead and eat. Both of us will follow you in a few minutes. "

Yu Xiaogang said.

"Well, if that's what you want then alright. "

Flender said with a smile.

Subsequently Flender and the others left the courtyard and headed for the cafeteria while Man Chu followed Yu Xiaogang into his room.

In fact the reason Yu Xiaogang chose this time to talk to him was because he wanted to accept Man Chu as his disciple. But for that he had to fool him.... no, convince him with his knowledge and greatness. Naturally if there are other people watching on the side, the desired effect won't be achieved. So it was the perfect time.

And at the same time as Flender and the others left, two lithe silhouettes appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Hey Hansen, you said you'll take me to meet Xiaogang, but why did you bring me to this guest courtyard of our academy? "

Liu Erlong asked while fidgeting. Today she was really nervous, different from her usual cold image. But Liu Erlong couldn't care less about her image at the moment.

"Don't worry Dean. I'm taking you to meet Yu Xiaogang. But you remember your promise okay? "

Hansen asked with a smile.

"Of course I remember. Wait, you mean Xiaogang was staying in our Academy all along."

Liu Erlong exclaimed in shock as she suddenly realized it.

"Alright follow me. First I'll go in and then you'll come. Till then you can wait at the door or the window. "

Hansen said calmly.

"Hmmm."

Liu Erlong nodded like a good child.

Slowly both of them approached the door. Just when Hansen was about to enter, he heard a few voices from inside and stopped. Subsequently he hinted at Liu Erlong and both of them moved over to look from the window.

Inside the room.

"So Man Chu, do you want to accept me as your Master? After all, I'm the only one who can guide the cultivation of your mutant martial soul. Otherwise your talent will be wasted. "

Yu Xiaogang said in a haughty manner as he stood opposite Man Chu with his hands behind his back.

"I'm sorry to be rude teacher but I only joined the academy because of Mr. Flender, a soul sage. "

Man Chu said apologetically.

"Hmph, you look down on me because of my weak strength don't you? "

Yu Xiaogang asked annoyed.

"This rude boy. How dare he underestimate Xiaogang, I'm going to cut his head off and make it a toilet pot. "

Liu Erlong said angrily while hiding outside the window.

Hansen also sweated for Man Chu a little. In fact, Man Chu was not part of today's plan. The reason Hansen asked Man Chu to go undercover was to deal with Tang San since he can't target him up front because of Tang Hao for now. As for Yu Xiaogang, he was going to take care of him himself. Thus, Hansen gave Man Chu an instruction to leave through their mental connection of Dark mark.

"I'm sorry to offend you teacher. But I have to go to the cafeteria. "

Man Chu apologized once again and left the room. Yu Xiaogang didn't stop him either. After all, he himself was very arrogant. Soon Man Chu left the room and headed out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Hansen looked at Liu Erlong before he walked over to the door.

* knock * * knock *

"Come in. "

Yu Xiaogang said from inside while adjusting his mood. In fact he doesn't usually show his anger or irritation in front of others so easily, it was because of the dark mark that he revealed his true colors.

" You must be Yu Xiaogang, the grandmaster. "

Hansen asked confidently.

"I am. And who are you? What do you have to do with me ? "

Yu Xiaogang asked confused. Since he left the Shrek academy before meeting him face to face , Yu Xiaogang naturally didn't know him. At most he has heard Hansen and Zhuqing's name.

" Very good, I won't beat around the bush with you then. To tell you the truth, I am here because of Liu Erlong. "

Hansen said calmly.

"What, Erlong? "

Yu Xiaogang raised his eyebrows.

Meanwhile Liu Erlong standing outside the window almost had a minor heart attack seeing all this.

"What about it? "

Yu Xiaogang asked.

" You see, I love Erlong very much. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. "

Hansen said dreamily.

Liu Erlong standing outside had another heart attack. She didn't expect Hansen to say this at all.

"Hansen.... you.... "

But then she calmed down again remembering that it was an act.

"Hmph, fool. She won't agree to your proposal whatever you do. "

Yu Xiaogang sneered wickedly while looking at Hansen.

"Indeed and that's why I am here. I want you to come with me and tell her that you don't love her so that she can marry me. "

Hansen said.

"And why would I do that? "

Yu Xiaogang asked with a smile.

" She is your cousin sister, isn't it? So there can't be anything between you guys anyway. Why are you wasting her life along with yours ? "

Hansen said angrily.

"Hahahaha, of course I know this. In fact I knew this even before I approached her. But then why do you think I spent so many efforts trying to woo her, huh, just to let her go with you? Hahaha"

Yu Xiaogang said while laughing crazily. He was already under the Imperius curse to speak truth and coupled with his anger for Man Chu rejected and humiliated him, Yu Xiaogang didn't hold back anything.

"She is my back up. In case I have nowhere to go in the future, I need a strong and reliable backer to lean on. Moreover, if she supports me then her father, that uncle of mine will also have to stand by my side and so will the Lightning Dragon sect. "

Yu Xiaogang continued saying.

"So you mean you don't love Erlong at all. You are only using her? "

Hansen pretended to be shocked at the right moment.

"Of course I don't love her. Why would I love a gullible fool like that. I would better use that time on my research. Besides all women are selfish. Just like that bitch, Bibi Dong. I won't spare her for humiliating me either. "

Yu Xiaogang sneered.

As Yu Xiaogang continued to reveal his true nature, Liu Erlong standing outside the window had already slumped against the wall with tears streaming non stop. She couldn't and didn't want to believe what was going on in front of her.

But she knew it was reality.
