Wu Changkong's first words upon entering left Su Mo speechless. Did he look like he was alright, with his entire body wrapped in bandages?
If you can't speak, don't speak.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were following behind Wu Changkong, exchanged a glance, their expressions indescribable.
"Feel sorry!"
Seeing that the gazes from others were becoming increasingly strange, Wu Changkong realized that he had said the wrong thing and, for the first time ever, apologized to Su Mo.
How are you doing now?
"not good at all!"
Su Mo coughed violently a few more times as she spoke.
After a long silence, Wu Changkong slowly spoke, "On behalf of the Tang Sect, I apologize to you for this accident."
"But don't worry, I've already reported your situation to the Tang Clan headquarters, and they've already sent someone over."
"All expenses incurred during your hospitalization will be reimbursed by Tangmen, and I believe headquarters will also provide you with satisfactory compensation."
Su Mo nodded in agreement; Wu Changkong was right about that.
If the Tang Clan doesn't want me to expose this matter, they will definitely spend a lot of money to shut me up.
Although the Tang Clan is an arms dealer, it pays special attention to maintaining its reputation among the people.
Because the Tang Clan is well aware that once they lose their reputation among the people, they will be no different from other arms dealers.
By then, it won't be so easy for the Tang Sect to recruit talent from Shrek.

Chapter 35: Di Qiu'er Calls!
The Tang Sect was able to survive for ten thousand years after Huo Yuhao's ascension.
It's not because the Tang Sect abandoned hidden weapons and embraced soul tools, but because they latched onto Shrek Academy's coattails.
Without Shrek Academy continuously providing the Tang Sect with outstanding talents and fresh blood, how could the Tang Sect possibly replace the ecological niche that originally belonged to Mingde Hall?
Su Mo had conducted an in-depth analysis of the history of Douluo Continent.
It was precisely because of his in-depth analysis of history that Su Mo felt the people of Douluo Continent were not very bright.
The transformation of the Sun Moon Empire into the Sun Moon Federation was entirely its own doing.
After unifying the two continents, the Sun Moon Empire must have gone mad for some reason.
Surprisingly, instead of suppressing Shrek Academy, the number one force on the Douluo Continent, they continued to allow Shrek Academy to maintain its superior status.
In order to solidify Shrek Academy's reputation as the "Number One Academy in the World," the Sun Moon Empire even gifted Shrek Academy with a considerable amount of advanced soul guidance technology.
Instead of restoring "Mingdetang" and supporting a force that can rival Shrek Academy, why would anyone continue to invest in Shrek Academy?
The Sun Moon Empire heavily supported Shrek Academy, but Shrek Academy was not going to be polite to it and instead shared its technology with the Tang Sect.
It's quite ironic, like a simp giving a gift to a goddess, only to have it handed over to her boyfriend by the goddess.
By the time the Sun Moon Empire realized that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had become too powerful to be controlled, it was already too late.
Led by Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, many neutral forces began to put pressure on the Sun Moon Empire, forcing it to change from a monarchy to a republic.
If the Qian Gu family hadn't stolen the Spirit Pagoda from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, they might have even changed the name of the "Sun Moon Federation" to the "Douluo Federation".
……
Seeing that Su Mo agreed with his statement, Wu Changkong hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "If possible, I hope you will not spread the news that the Hero Hall system has malfunctioned."
Su Mo pretended to be hesitant, trying to get Tang Wulin, Wu Changkong's favorite student, to stand up and speak for him.
Seeing Su Mo's hesitant expression, Tang Wulin couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.
He and Xie Xie had already joined the Tang Clan, and as a member of the Tang Clan, he had a duty to consider the Tang Clan's reputation.
“Su Motong…”
"Okay, I promise you!"
Before Tang Wulin could finish speaking, Su Mo agreed to Wu Changkong's request.
Seeing that Su Mo had agreed to his request, Wu Changkong's face showed a hint of joy.
With the Tang Clan's reputation preserved, the huge weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted.
In high spirits, Wu Changkong chatted with Su Mo for a few more minutes to comfort her and tell her not to worry too much. Then he got up and led Tang Wulin and the others back to Donghai Academy.
Although the hospital in Donghai City said that Su Mo's injuries were quite serious, their presence here wouldn't help Su Mo recover faster.
Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go back to the academy and reflect.
"Thanks for what you did earlier!"
Watching Tang Wulin's retreating figure as he was about to leave the ward, Su Mo suddenly said, "I will repay you once I'm healed!"
"No need, it's just a small matter!"
Upon hearing that Su Mo wanted to repay him, Tang Wulin quickly turned around and waved his hand as if flattered, "We're all partners, there's no need to be so calculating."
"A partner?"
Su Mo muttered it to herself.
Tang Wulin wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he thought he saw Su Mo smile as he left, a very gentle smile.
"!!!"
Hiding in Tang Wulin's mental world, Tang San, who had been spying on Su Mo, grinned with excitement when he saw the smile on Su Mo's lips.
Tang San never expected that his ruthless attempt to kill Su Mo would inadvertently lead to a connection between Tang Wulin and Su Mo.
Having lived for so long, Tang San, this old fox, has an unparalleled grasp of human nature. How could he not understand the meaning behind Su Mo's smile just now?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone like Su Mo, who always seems indifferent to the outside world, must have some kind of tragic past that no one knows about.
Such people often appear aloof, but are actually easily moved by small things.
The thought that Su Mo wouldn't affect Tang Wulin becoming the future leader of the Shrek Seven Devils made Tang San feel great, and the frustration of being beaten up by Su Mo was swept away.
The reason they targeted Su Mo earlier was because Su Mo's performance was simply too extraordinary and threatened Tang Wulin's position at Shrek Academy.
Tang Wulin, possessing the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, was originally capable of crushing any opponent of the same level, but Su Mo's performance was simply too extraordinary.
Not only is his cultivation speed faster than Tang Wulin's, but his combat strength at the same level is also significantly higher than Tang Wulin's.
At least until Tang Wulin breaks the fifth seal, Tang San does not believe that Tang Wulin has the ability to fight Su Mo.
However, it will take Tang Wulin several more years to break the fifth seal.
If Shrek Academy starts selecting the new Shrek Seven Devils before this, then things will be in big trouble.
As one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San knew better than anyone how abnormal the Shrek Seven Devils were.
The Shrek Seven Devils are nominally a group, but in reality, the other six are just supporting characters to the most outstanding one.
Their role is to unconditionally help the most outstanding person safely navigate their vulnerable period.
Once the best one has grown up, their role becomes negligible.
This is why Tang San was determined to ensure that Tang Wulin became the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, even at the cost of killing Su Mo.
Tang San's son must not be reduced to a mere foil for others.
As soon as Tang Wulin and the others left the ward, Su Mo immediately stopped smiling.
Although Su Mo couldn't see Tang San's expression, he was certain that Tang San was secretly pleased with himself.
We're all seasoned foxes; we're well aware of those underhanded tricks and schemes.
Tang San probably never dreamed that he would be facing one of the classic concept gods of the ninja world, "Information God Su Mo".
Not only did he know that the incident at the Hall of Heroes was his doing, but he also knew everything about the relationship between him and Tang Wulin.
Since Tang San believes he is the one hiding in the shadows, Su Mo doesn't mind playing along with him.
Just as Su Mo was about to contact Leng Yulai to ask her to prepare a surprise for Tang Wulin, she saw that the long-dormant avatar in her friend list suddenly come online.
Immediately afterwards, the other party sent a message.
"I've met Di Tian!"
"is it?"
"How does it feel to see an old friend? Do you feel a sense of the passage of time?"
Su Mo tilted her head and pondered for a moment before editing a message and sending it.

Chapter 36 Atonement!
Laguna Hotel
The five-star restaurant, built by Consortium B at great expense in the prime western district of Shrek City, is second only in height to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, the tallest building in Douluo Continent.
The entire hotel resembles a sharp sword piercing the sky, its cold glass curtain walls reflecting dazzling light under the sun, making everyone who passes by look up in awe.
Here, even the most basic ordinary room costs enough for an average person to spend decades' worth of savings in just one night.
As for the VIP suites on the top floor, they are a luxury that only exists in legends and cannot be entered simply by paying money.
At this moment, in the suite on the top floor of the hotel, a slender and tall golden figure stood quietly in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at Shrek Academy in the distance.
As night fell, Shrek Academy, bathed in the warm and solemn golden light of the setting sun, stood in the distance.
