My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: Hao Shuai’s Lie

"Ah? The meridians are damaged."

Xue’Er actually knows a lot about this; didn’t Hao Shuai get beaten and have quite a few meridians damaged not long ago?

"Yes, right. Miss Wang, do you have any other method, please help with the healing. Wu Guangzu is a good person, often punishing evil and promoting good. According to Tan Batian, it was an arrogant young master participating in the trials who injured him." Xiao Feng said.

At this moment, Hao Shuai walked in from outside and was stunned because he saw a familiar figure: Wu Guangzu, a good friend of his nemesis, Chen Tianlong.

"Xue’Er, come here quickly, these people are all bad."

Seeing these people, Hao Shuai realized they were all connected to Chen Tianlong, so he wanted to obstruct the healing; otherwise, if Wu Guangzu recovered, he would be in danger.

Wang Xue originally intended to try to heal Wu Guangzu, but hearing Hao Shuai’s words, she hid behind him: "Shuai, why do you say they are bad people? They don’t seem bad."

"Xue’Er, these are my nemesis’s friends; they will harm me."

Hao Shuai pretended to be scared and continued: "The reason I got so hurt before was all thanks to them; these people are Chen Tianlong’s friends."

Wu Guangzu, who hadn’t spoken all this time, became agitated upon hearing about Chen Tianlong. He struggled intensely, falling to the ground, yet still said: "Hao Shuai, what did you do to Chen Tianlong?"

Xiao Qing, initially protecting from the side, was startled upon seeing Wu Guangzu lying on the ground. She hurriedly squatted down to help him: "Wu, are you okay? Did you hurt yourself when you fell?"

Clearly, Xiao Qing was very worried. When Tan Batian saw this, he hurried over as well, while Hao Shuai took the opportunity to drag Xue’Er out.

"Hao Shuai, answer me, what did you do to Chen Tianlong?"

Though Wu Guangzu had been helped up, he remained agitated. Chen Tianlong was his junior, like a biological brother. If anything happened, what would the Assassin Group do?

From Wang Xue’s previous behavior, Xiao Feng realized she must have a way; otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked. Now, seeing Hao Shuai trick and lead her away, how could Xiao Feng let it happen?

Xiao Feng flashed in front of Hao Shuai and Xue’Er, followed by Tan Batian. "To save a life is more meritorious than building a seven-tier pagoda, Miss Wang. Wu Guangzu is injured by evil men; how can you bear to leave him at risk?"

"I..."

Xue’Er was kind-hearted and felt uneasy after hearing Xiao Feng, but just as she was about to speak, Hao Shuai interrupted.

"Xue’Er, don’t listen to his nonsense; perhaps they got hurt doing something bad and are now making excuses to fool us. I bet that whole ’your father being his old friend’ bit was fake."

"Ah? Really not?"

Xue’Er was confused: "Looking at these people, they don’t seem like bad guys."

"Xue’Er, don’t you believe me?" Hao Shuai brought out his trump card, questioning directly.

"No, it’s not that, of course I believe you." Xue’Er was startled by Hao Shuai’s words and knew he misunderstood. "Fine, I just won’t pay them any mind."

Before finishing their conversation, Xiao Feng approached Hao Shuai, saying: "Kid, I don’t know why you menace us, nor what feud Wu Guangzu has with you; but he truly was injured by villains. I hope Miss Wang can save him; we would be immensely grateful."

After Xiao Feng spoke, he bowed respectfully. Meanwhile, Hao Shuai took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

From his first glance at these people, Hao Shuai assessed their strength. Among them were two Celestial Dao masters. The elder one seemed stronger; if he could take him by surprise, the others would be easier to handle.

However, just as Hao Shuai made his move, Tan Batian intervened, their palms colliding instantly, causing Xiao Feng to frown angrily.

If Tan Batian hadn’t intervened, Hao Shuai might have struck his head while bowing, leaving him crippled or worse.

This man was too malicious. Xiao Feng could no longer bear it, powering up his powerful Qi and striking a palm forward.

At this moment, Hao Shuai realized his plot had failed. After retreating two steps, he subtly raised his mouth corners and extended his palms to meet theirs.

In that instant, the four palms connected, and suddenly Tan Batian and Xiao Feng sensed something was not right.

"Taste my Star Absorption Technique, hahaha..." With his scheme exposed, Hao Shuai became openly arrogant.

"Oh no, I forgot he knew the Star Absorption Technique!"

Tan Batian had witnessed it in the Celestial Pill Sect trials before. Amidst the tense situation, he momentarily forgot this move, now entangled by Hao Shuai’s technique.

At this moment, Xiao Qing helped Wu Guangzu out, amazed by the sight, while next to her, Xue’Er realized her Shuai was using such a wicked technique, feeling utterly lost.

"Miss Wang, now you realize your mistake, right? He’s using the Star Absorption Technique; surely he’s from the Evil Sect, and yet you spoke for him, differentiating wrong from right."

Xiao Qing was furious but found herself out of options.

Watching Xiao Feng and Tan Batian getting their powerful Qi absorbed by Hao Shuai, Wang Xue felt conflicted. Her image of Shuai had always been of a just and righteous person, but using such despicable techniques, he seemed anything but good.

Regardless, Xue’Er couldn’t bear to watch Hao Shuai make such mistakes, so she discreetly took out a bottle of medicine and scattered it towards the three men.

Soon, Hao Shuai suddenly felt weak all over, collapsing to the ground, and so did Tan Batian and Xiao Feng.

"I’m sorry, Shuai, I can’t bear to watch you become a monster. Although you have past grudges, you can’t harm others like this. They came seeking medical help for an injured person, not intending harm. Let them go." Tearfully, Xue’Er pleaded.

"Xue—Xue’Er... come here, don’t trust them. I was forced just now; otherwise, how could I, against two Celestial Dao masters if they turned to bully you, what would happen then?"

Hao Shuai was weak and angry, his plan thwarted by Xue’Er at a crucial moment. He pondered, hoping for a turnaround.

"Shuai, no, they don’t mean to kill me; they all look kind!"

Wang Xue observed, none of them seemed malicious. Had they intended harm, they would’ve acted long ago, not waiting till now.
