Chapter 123 Further Planning_1

"Wang Dong, I must cripple you,"

He Caitou glared at the figure of Wang Dong, his heart seething with fierceness.

He wanted to strike immediately and subdue Wang Dong to clarify whether things were as he had imagined.

If there were some hidden circumstances, it'd be fine, but if there weren't, he would surely kill Wang Dong to avenge those students and teachers of Shrek Academy who were harmed by him.

Just as he was about to seize the opportunity and exert his force, the sound of hurried footsteps approached, and several guards from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy approached Wang Dong.

He Caitou immediately abandoned the idea of taking action.

Outnumbered, if he were discovered, he would certainly die beyond doubt.

"Who are you?"

The guards also started to inspect Wang Dong.

"I, I..."

Wang Dong's heart tightened; he really didn't know whether he should reveal his identity.

"You look like a beggar; I have no idea how you got here."

"Go on, get out of here,"

The guard waved his hand impatiently and actually let Wang Dong go.

Wang Dong: "???"

Do I look like a beggar?

But he knew it was not the time to argue; if he truly exposed his identity as a student of Shrek Academy, it would bring him no small trouble.

...

No need to take action now.

Those students of Shrek Academy who could be taken away were taken away; why was Wang Dong the only one unharmed?

The truth of the matter was on the verge of coming to light!

"Damn it, he really is a traitor!"

He Caitou clenched his teeth tightly, now filled with immense regret.

"If it weren't for me, Wang Dong would have never been able to get into the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy.

If I hadn't brought him before the teacher, the teacher wouldn't have learned about Teacher Zhou's matter. Then none of this would have happened..."

He Caitou's heart felt as if it were being sliced by knives, his teeth nearly shattered.

But the last bit of his rationality told him not to act rashly at this moment.

He needed to keep himself alive to return to Shrek Academy to report everything that had happened within the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy.

He would request the academy to send strong individuals to come to the Sun-Moon Empire for a rescue mission, to bring back the teachers, and then deal with the traitor Wang Dong according to the law.

Watching the figure growing more distant, He Caitou gradually regained his composure.

"Wang Dong, you'd better not run into any trouble, I hope you live a little longer. When I bring you to justice, I'll make sure you understand what cruelty is,"

After taking another careful look around, He Caitou proceeded cautiously.

Soon he disappeared into the darkness.

"Qin Xiao, why did you tell me to spare Wang Dong? That kid couldn't possibly have any special relationship with you, could he?"

In front of the laboratory window, Xuan Ziwen put down his telescope, looking at Qin Xiao beside him, he asked, puzzled.

He Caitou's every move had been observed by them; according to Xuan Ziwen, they should've dealt with He Caitou directly.

After all, if you don't eradicate the roots when cutting weeds, the spring breeze will bring them back to life.

Yet, Qin Xiao had stopped him.

"Keeping him might bring us unexpected surprises in the future," Qin Xiao replied with a smile.

However, Xuan Ziwen remained confused.

"Haha, I would like to explain it to you in detail, but my plan is very long-term and can't be explained in just a few words. So I choose not to explain for now. You just wait and see the final outcome," Qin Xiao laughed, acting evasive.

But he wasn't wrong about the significance of He Caitou.

Imagine, if He Caitou returns alive and reports what he has seen and heard within the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy to Shrek Academy, what would the teachers and students of Shrek Academy think?

Fan Yu might be responsible, but the bigger issue was still with Wang Dong.

If it weren't for Wang Dong's betrayal and informing Xuan Ziwen, with Fan Yu's strength... well, Qin Xiao wouldn't have been hurt.

But others won't see it that way.

They would think Fan Yu was close to accomplishing a great feat, slaying a future Level 9 Soul Guidance Master of the Sun-Moon Empire. That wouldn't sound like a bad deal, would it?

But.

Expectations are full, but reality is harsh. It was precisely because of Wang Dong's betrayal that the plan failed.

Not only did they fail to kill Qin Xiao, a future Level 9 Soul Guidance Master of the Sun-Moon Empire, but they also made Fan Yu and the elite students of Shrek prisoners in a cage.

Think about it, Wang Dong would also become a target for Shrek Academy's vengeance, becoming their enemy.

Even if the Hao Tian Clan stood behind Wang Dong and gave Shrek Academy pause, the relationship between the Hao Tian Clan and Shrek Academy would still become very stiff.

This was undeniably a good thing.

Therefore, he had to let a reliable person take this news back.

He Caitou living was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

As for Wang Dong... sorry, in Qin Xiao's eyes, he had always been just a pawn.

"Alright then, I'll just wait for your good news to tell me,"

Compared to complex human hearts, Xuan Ziwen preferred to interact with soul tools.

At least he could decide how to make them and what kind of arrays to carve.

They wouldn't scheme against him.

He would play it easy.

However.

No sooner had Xuan Ziwen settled into his chair, his body not yet warmed by the seat, than his expression suddenly changed.

"Someone's coming."

At this moment, Qin Xiao's voice rang out a step ahead of him.

Xuan Ziwen nodded with a serious expression, "Indeed, a season of troubles. We've just sent away a student from Shrek Academy, now who knows what enemy will come this time!"
