Chapter 561: Chapter 0561: Scapegoat Dog

He was just a Three-star Cross Training Martial Master, barely capable of competing with a Four-star Martial Master, but against a Five-star Martial Master, he would definitely be crushed to smithereens.

White Wolf also couldn’t care about avenging Hei Long or maintaining his own undefeated record anymore. He had already decided to leave Songlan City first thing and return to his organization to report the situation. If he stayed any longer, he might end up following Hei Long’s old path.

After sending Yao Buji away, Tang Ming acted as if nothing had happened and quickly returned to his room to sleep.

The three girls had been under high stress and tension during these days. Today, when Tang Ming returned, they instantly relaxed, and as a result, they slept deeply, completely unaware of what had happened.

The next morning, Tang Ming was awakened by noisy sounds, washed up, went downstairs to eat, and saw Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli both standing in the yard, furiously scolding the Dingdang Dog.

"What happened so early in the morning?"

Tang Ming yawned and asked with curiosity.

"You’re awake." Xia Wei’er immediately came over to Tang Ming to greet him.

"What are they doing?" Tang Ming asked curiously.

At that moment, Liu Mengting was holding a stick, constantly waving it in front of Dingdang Dog, and the dog lay in front of Liu Mengting and Xia Wei’er, whimpering pitifully.

"Last night, Dingdang Dog sneaked into the kitchen and caused havoc, ate a lot of things."

Xia Wei’er smiled and explained, "Now, Meng Ting and Xiaoli are scolding it."

"Ah?" Tang Ming paused for a moment and uncertainly asked,

"How do they know it was Dingdang Dog?"

"Because they found several pieces of ham bone in Dingdang Dog’s kennel," Xia Wei’er said as she helped Tang Ming straighten his clothes and continued,

"We need to go to school today. You should tell Teacher Li Wenxuan that you are back; she has been really worried about you these days."

"Okay, okay." Tang Ming looked at the pitiful Dingdang Dog, feeling sympathetic.

"Yao Buji, Yao Buji, you really are my lucky star. If it weren’t for your midnight disturbance, I wouldn’t have given Dingdang Dog a ham bone unintentionally. Now, with the evidence found, the dog has taken the blame for me."

"I’m so mad, Dingdang Dog is really too naughty,"

Li Xiaoli stormed back to her room, grumpily said, "The evidence is as clear as day, and it still won’t admit it."

"Exactly, it’s not allowed to eat today; we must teach it a lesson," Liu Mengting declared unhappily.

"Hehe, it’s just a dog, why treat it so harshly?"

Tang Ming said, feeling some pity.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt two strange glares directed at him. Looking down, he saw Dingdang Dog, following behind Liu Mengting, gazing at him with mournful eyes.

Tang Ming quickly made a face at Dingdang Dog, not sure if the dog could understand, but he felt guilty anyway.

"This is not a small issue. It ate everything in the kitchen, and now we don’t even have breakfast."

Li Xiaoli immediately complained, "Although Uncle Quan has gone to buy groceries, we have to go to school today, and it’s already too late."

"Let’s just buy something on the way," Liu Mengting sighed, picked up her backpack, and walked out without turning back, shouting,

"You guys hurry up too, we’re really going to be late."

Soon after, Li Xiaoli and Xia Wei’er also hurriedly ran out, with Tang Ming following at the end. As he passed Dingdang Dog, he gratefully said:

"Brother, thank you. Don’t worry, I’ll find a pretty dog to compensate you."

"Woof woof!" Dingdang Dog seemed to understand Tang Ming’s words and immediately started barking excitedly.

"Darn, you frisky dog."

Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, swore under his breath, and quickly followed the three girls. He wasn’t a bodyguard anymore; going to school with Liu Mengting now would be akin to hitching a ride.

The group chatted and laughed their way to school. Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli entered the classroom first while Tang Ming and Xia Wei’er stood at the doorway to say goodbye.

Xia Wei’er looked at Tang Ming reluctantly. She knew she was different from Li Xiaoli; Li Xiaoli was Liu Mengting’s best friend and could live long-term in the Liu family’s villa. She, however, didn’t have that privilege. The only reason she had been able to stay there was to jointly investigate Tang Ming’s disappearance.

Now that Tang Ming was back, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s lives had returned to normal, so she had to resume her own life. It was no longer possible for her to stay by Tang Ming’s side late into the night like yesterday.

"Wei’er, why are you suddenly feeling sentimental?" Tang Ming looked at Xia Wei’er, puzzled, and thought about the promise he had made to Xia Wei’er before, feeling a bit awkward, unsure if it still stood.

"I’m not feeling sentimental. I’m really happy that you’re back," Xia Wei’er replied with a gentle smile, helplessly saying:

"It’s just that I thought now that your contract with Liu Mengting had been terminated, you could regain your freedom. But now you still have to stay at her house, I..."

"Are you jealous?"

Tang Ming interrupted Xia Wei’er with a mischievous smile.

"Not at all!" Xia Wei’er, her face flushing, coyly glared at Tang Ming.

"That’s good," Tang Ming sighed in relief and explained with a serious tone:

"Although I’ve terminated the contract with the Liu family, the danger to the Liu family hasn’t been resolved. Even though I’m no longer Liu Mengting’s bodyguard, as a friend, I should stay by her side to protect her."

Hearing this, Xia Wei’er was slightly surprised, then said with concern:

"I understand why you would do this, and I will support you. But now that you’ve lost your cultivation and are just an ordinary person, isn’t it very unsafe if you really encounter danger?"

"Hehe, they didn’t notice, can’t you see it either?" Tang Ming said with a mysterious smile, seriously asking:

"Didn’t you forget what I told you when I left?"

"When you left?" Xia Wei’er was startled, tilted her head thinking, then with a blushing face said:

"You said that after I went to college, I could come find you and become your girlfriend then."

"Cough, cough!" Tang Ming coughed twice, surprised that Xia Wei’er remembered this so well, and quickly corrected her:

"I had said, unless my cultivation was restored, I wouldn’t come back."

"Ah?" Xia Wei’er’s eyes widened in surprise and said, "Do you mean your cultivation..."

"Hehe, that’s right,"

Tang Ming smiled proudly and mysteriously said, "Aside from the people I’ve beaten up, only you know about this. Are you happy now?"

"Happy." Hearing she was the only one who knew made Xia Wei’er feel sweetly content, then she suddenly realized and said:

"I get it now, the person who wrecked the kitchen last night wasn’t Dingdang Dog, it was you."
