621 – Lan Xuanyu’s Line Of Thought

Tang Miao glanced at Wang Tianyu. Indeed, this final exam was somewhat unreliable! How could it be like this? In two days, they had to find a warship to return to the Mother Planet from a planet filled with danger. This difficulty was something they could imagine even without Lan Xuanyu’s explanation. Furthermore, the Federation still had a lockdown in place on the Sin Planet.

“At that time, we were extremely anxious. The girls were so anxious that they cried because we knew that if we couldn’t complete the final exam, we would most probably be expelled. And to us, the academy is simply too important! Even if we had to risk our lives, we wouldn’t be willing to be expelled from the academy.” At this point, Lan Xuanyu’s face was filled with sorrow and his eyes were slightly red.

Lan Mengqin, Bai Xiuxiu, and Tang Yuge lowered their heads subconsciously, but their eyes were not filled with tears but guilt.

When did we cry?

Wang Tianyu glanced at Ying Luohong. With regards to the Outer Court’s final exam, it was naturally impossible for him to participate and make arrangements at his level. It was naturally arranged by Ying Luohong. Now that he thought about it, it did sound unreliable!

Ying Luohong and Tang Zhenhua looked at each other and only they knew their own difficulties. They just wanted to give these little guys some setbacks and pave the way for their future growth. So they had never planned to let them complete the final exam!

Lan Xuanyu said in an emotional tone, “After a short period of pain, we calmed down. At that time, we thought about how we could return safely. So we thought that we had to first get a warship, and secondly, this warship could not be intercepted by the Federal Fleet, right?”

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

Lan Xuanyu continued, “That’s why we thought of the Spirit Pagoda because the Spirit Pagoda is also present in Black Horn City. The Spirit Pagoda is also one of the few forces that can travel between the two places. We went to find the Spirit Pagoda to see if there were any spaceships that could take us back. However, we received bad news. The earliest spaceship would take off in 15 days, and this was without considering if they would let us board it. At that time, we fell into despair.”

Lan Xuanyu’s acting was absolutely excellent, so much so that everyone unknowingly felt sympathy for them.

“Teacher taught me that the more in danger we are, the more we have to remain calm because negative emotions are useless. At that time, I tried my best to calm myself down and think about what to do. Then, I realized that the only way for us to complete the final exam and stay in Shrek Academy was through the warship that we came from.”

“But how do we get back through the warship that we came from? Even if we could find the warship, we wouldn’t be able to board it! At that time, I was thinking that with the good relationship between Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, even though the team leader abandoned us, he would still observe us in the dark and even protect us. So, I thought of this tactic of luring the snake out of its hole. Oh, no, luring the team leader out. Then, we found the most lively place and caused a ruckus in a store.”

‘Make a fuss?’ Deng Bo’s lips twitched upon hearing that. Were you guys just making a fuss? You even blew up the store, alright?’

“All the teachers might know what happened after that. Until we returned to Shrek, we experienced many dangers. We narrowly escaped death several times, but even at the most dangerous moment, we still had a strong will in our hearts. We had to return to the academy no matter what and complete the final exam.”

“In the end, we were lucky to succeed. When we really returned, other than feeling relieved, we also felt weak all over. It was really too difficult. If we were careless, we might have died in the space war.”

Deng Bo finally couldn’t take it anymore. The entire process described by Lan Xuanyu was exactly the same, but his tone and attitude were completely different from what they had shown previously! When did his entire body go limp? Why, when you guys threw the antimatter missiles, you looked so satisfied. You guys severely injured so many pirate spaceships, even he was stunned. Was that called surviving after nearing death? It was a little dangerous, but the warship’s protective shield was never shaken, alright?

“Lan Xuanyu, don’t take the easy way out. It’s fine if you kidnapped me to complete the final exam, but why did you steal our Tang Sect’s warship? Return the warship quickly,” Deng Bo said angrily.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes widened and were filled with mist in an instant. “Team leader, I’m innocent! When did we steal the Tang Sect warship?”

“You still dare to deny it? All the surveillance cameras have captured you doing it,” Deng Bo said angrily.

Wang Tianyu’s expression darkened as well. In front of the truth, Lan Xuanyu still tried to lie.

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly with a helpless expression. “I was wondering why the teachers were so cold to us when we returned. It was because of this! This is too unjust! Pavilion Master Wang, senior Tang, this is what happened. After we returned that day, we kidnapped the team leader after all and felt a little guilty, so we sent the team leader over. At that time, we didn’t dare to let him go! We were afraid that he would punish us, so we sent him straight to the academy and informed Dean Ying. Then, we ran off to rest because we were worried that the team leader would do something irrational in his anger. As for the warship, I took it. But I was thinking about the Tang Sect!”

“Pavilion Master Wang, senior Tang, I may be young, but I’m not a lunatic! Why would I steal the Tang Sect’s warship for no reason? Could it be that I can pilot the warship away from the Mother Planet? Could it be that I don’t want my family or the academy at such a young age to become a space pirate? I’m not stupid, why would I do such a thing! Pavilion Master, you know that I have some savings in the Outer Court and don’t lack emblems. Why would I waste so much effort and not curry favor with you? How would I even want to destroy the relationship between our Shrek and the Tang Sect and snatch a warship away! How could I do that !”

Seeing Lan Xuanyu’s aggrieved expression, Wang Tianyu was a little stunned. Lan Xuanyu’s words made sense. Not only was this boy not dumb, he was also very smart. In the various tests and competitions in the past, he had never had any problems commanding the team. All of the first years trusted him and he was the most reliable class leader.

Lan Xuanyu was shocked. “So, do you guys think that I stole the warship? Team leader, is that what you reported?”

Deng Bo was in a daze because after listening to Lan Xuanyu’s analysis, he felt that it was a little impossible! Lan Xuanyu was Shrek Academy’s proud son of heaven, why would he steal the Tang Sect’s warship for no reason? Even if he stole the warship, he wouldn’t be able to run!

Deng Bo was stunned by his question.

Tang Miao asked, “Then why did you take the warship away?”

“For the Tang Sect!” Lan Xuanyu blurted out. “My teacher has always taught me that the Tang Sect had a close relationship with our Shrek Academy. My teacher has always wanted me to join the Tang Sect. In my heart, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have always been one. So, even if the team leader abandoned us on Heaven Planet, I never blamed him.”

“That was the final exam that your school requested,” Deng Bo said bitterly. He thought to himself, ‘Can you not talk about me abandoning you? Was this what I wanted to do?’

Lan Xuanyu glanced at him and continued, “So, in my heart, first place is Shrek, and second place is the Tang Sect. When the Tang Sect encounters trouble, I naturally have to protect the Tang Sect without hesitation and help the Tang Sect. Team leader, let me ask you, our warship is registered as a pirate spaceship on Heaven Planet, right? This means that Heaven Planet doesn’t know that the warship belongs to the Tang Sect, right?”

Deng Bo nodded instinctively.
