Chapter 126 Infiltration
Chapter 126 Infiltration
At this time, Ma Xiaotao and other inner courtyard students led the outer courtyard students and the rescued refugees.
However, she looked with an unwilling look on her face at Zhang Lexuan and Master Xuan who were still being restrained by the evil soul master, as well as the other internal students who were still fighting.
You have to know that Ma Xiaotao is a brave and righteous woman. It must be very painful for Ma Xiaotao to see such a tragic scene but be unable to help her brothers and sisters and fellow Shrek people.
The reason why she did not choose to disobey the order and join the battle was because she knew that if she, as the strongest among the internal trainees in charge of the assessment, left rashly, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life if something went wrong with the team.
So now she could only swallow her anger and lead the team out of the outskirts of Lingxing Village as quickly as possible.
However, this does not mean that she gave up her willingness to participate in this battle. After arriving at the safe area, the first thing Ma Xiaotao did was to instruct an internal student named Siqi to send a message to the academy immediately.
After that, she turned around and prepared to return to the battlefield she had just left. However, just as she was walking back, Xu Xingyu appeared in front of her and asked, "Ma Xiaotao, what are you doing?"
Ma Xiaotao looked at the boy who was younger than her and replied calmly, "I want to go back and help Elder Xuan and the others."
This made Xu Xingyu frown and said, "Ma Xiaotao, although you are very powerful, you alone cannot change the situation of the battle."
"The best option now is to wait here for backup and prevent any evil soul masters from escaping from this direction, right?"
"I know!" Ma Xiaotao shouted loudly, "But I can't just watch our Shrek people die in vain!"
"I know that you, who came from the Qiling Tower, cannot understand the feelings of those of us who came from Shrek, but no matter what conflicts we have within Shrek, we are all one family. Now someone has killed our family, I can't just sit there and watch, otherwise I will look down on myself for the rest of my life!"
Normally, Ma Xiaotao would not bother to explain her actions to anyone unless the situation was tense. However, although the young man in front of her had a lower cultivation level than her, his combat power had long surpassed her.
Therefore, if Xu Xingyu was not given a suitable reason, he would not retreat, and she could only try to break through by force.
Ma Xiaotao thought about the countless remains of inner courtyard students she had seen during her escape, which completely aroused the anger in her heart. At that time, she just wanted to go back quickly and make those evil soul masters get the end they deserved at all costs!
But for the safety of these refugees and external college students, she suppressed her anger and continued to lead the remaining people to a safe location.
Now that she has completed her duties, she has no reason to stay here. She knows that the plan Xu Xingyu proposed is the most correct one, but she can't swallow this.
Xu Xingyu couldn't help but sigh when she saw this. When she read the original novel before, she felt that Shrek's honor and protective behavior were almost like brainwashing. Now that she had experienced it herself, she realized that it was indeed the case.
Even though he already knew about the many problems of Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao's remarks still made him feel quite excited.
Looking at Ma Xiaotao's determined expression, Xu Xingyu also knew that she couldn't stop the other party, so since she couldn't stop her, she might as well let her go.
Xu Xingyu said, "Well, now that you've said this, it would be tactless of me to continue to stop you."
After saying that, he gave way, and Ma Xiaotao looked at the other party with gratitude, then started walking towards Lingxing Village.
However, the moment she took the first step, Xu Xingyu said, "Wait a minute, I will let you go on condition."
"What conditions?" Ma Xiaotao really didn't expect Xu Xingyu to put forward conditions at this time, and the following words shocked her even more.
"Then I'll go with you, too."
"Oh, I didn't ask....you want to come too!?"
Frankly speaking, Ma Xiaotao was a little shocked by Xu Xingyu's decision. After all, in her opinion, Xu Xingyu was the young master of Qi Ling Pagoda, a force that surpassed Shrek Academy. The relationship between Shrek and Qi Ling Pagoda had only recently eased, and the relationship was not good enough to support each other.
Of course, Ma Xiaotao was not against Xu Xingyu going back to Lingxing Village with her to help the inner courtyard students who were still there. After all, she was very clear that Xu Xingyu's strength was comparable to those old students who had been practicing in the inner courtyard for a long time.
So if they have his help, Shrek will also gain a much stronger combat force. But why would Xu Xingyu want to help Shrek?
Is it because he can't stand those evil spirit masters who do evil? Or has he begun to admit that he is a member of Shrek? Or is it because...?
After thinking of an inexplicable possibility, Ma Xiaotao's face flushed, and she thought to herself: "Is he doing this for me? But he already has so many outstanding girls? Why would he fall in love with a hot-tempered tomboy like me!?!?! Could it be that what the book says is true? Are all men ****?"
If Xu Xingyu could hear Ma Xiaotao's inner voice, he would only reply: "Girl, you think too much."
It is true that one of the reasons why Xu Xingyu helped Ma Xiaotao was because he couldn't stand those evil soul masters who did evil things, but that was only part of the reason.
The remaining reason was that when the blood light that amplified the evil soul master camp appeared, he felt something calling him.
According to his intuition, this thing is very important to him. If he misses it, it may lead to a great disaster.
So he had to find this thing, and coincidentally, the location of that thing was exactly where the blood light was rising into the sky.
At this time Xu Xingyu asked: "By the way, do you have any plans?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was completely stunned, and then she touched her head with an embarrassed look and said, "I was just thinking about how to avenge my companions and didn't think about these things."
"Hey, you weren't planning to just rush into the battlefield and rush over, were you?"
Ma Xiaotao did not respond to this, but turned her head away unconsciously, not wanting the other party to see her embarrassment.
This behavior further confirmed Xu Xingyu's suspicion about Ma Xiaotao, and she said helplessly: "If you don't mind, I have a plan. If it succeeds, we may be able to turn the tables."
