Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King.

At this point, Ling Luochen's eyes reddened slightly, and he felt extremely ashamed.

"But... Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan and I were exposed not long after we entered your academy."

“Old Cai caught us and also found out about our undercover identities.”

She took a deep breath and continued.

"But...they didn't kill us, and they didn't torture us."

"On the contrary, they treated us the same as the students..."

"I...I really don't deserve it."

Ling Luochen's voice was already choked with sobs.

"This academy has been so kind to us, but we came here with malicious intent at the beginning..."

She lowered her head, not daring to look Tang Wulin and the others in the eye.

"I lied to you..."

After saying this, Ling Luochen fell silent.

She stood there, her hands trembling slightly.

Xie Xie's voice was the first to ring out, with a hint of nonchalant amusement.

"I thought it was something serious!"

Ling Luochen suddenly raised his head and stared blankly at Xie Xie.

Tang Wulin smiled, stepped forward, and looked at Ling Luochen seriously.

"Sister Luo Chen."

He spoke, his voice gentle yet firm.

"What you're talking about happened before you entered the academy, right?"

Ling Luochen nodded subconsciously.

"That settles it then?"

Tang Wulin shrugged.

"After you entered the academy, what did you do that disappointed us and the academy?"

Ling Luochen quickly shook his head.

"Isn't that correct?"

Tang Wulin smiled.

"You've passed the test and become a student of Shrek Academy. So you're now a part of Shrek Academy, our teammate, and the sister Luo Chen that we all recognize."

"As for your previous identity, where you came from, and what your purpose was—"

He paused, his tone becoming extremely serious.

"None of that matters."

"The important thing is that you are one of us now."

Xie Xie also came over and said with a smile.

"That's it!"

Wei Xiaofeng nodded and said with a smile.

"That's right, Sister Luo Chen has turned over a new leaf!"

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, his eyes regaining their gentleness.

"That's right, Sister Luo Chen. The teachers let you join our Shrek Academy, so they must have approved of you."

As Ling Luochen listened to their back-and-forth conversation, tears welled up in her eyes and spilled out.

"you……"

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her throat was blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Tang Wulin looked at her and laughed.

"From now on, we will still be teammates who fight together."

Ling Luochen nodded vigorously, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and finally a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

"Ok!"

She said softly.

"Thank you all..."

Chapter 214 Isn't this our Tang Clan's martial arts technique?

The atmosphere in the hotel lobby in Shrek City was quite tense.

A fully armed law enforcement team filed in, led by a burly man with an undeniable air of authority on his square face.

He wore a dark blue uniform with a striking green Shrek symbol embroidered on his chest and a token indicating his status as the captain of the law enforcement team hanging from his waist.

It was Zhao Tieshan, the captain of the Shrek City law enforcement team.

"Captain Zhao, you've come at the perfect time!"

The boss greeted them with a look of grievance, his voice so loud it seemed the whole street could hear.

"My shop is operating normally, selling soul beast meat at the price set by the city lord with clear price tags! But these little brats who appeared out of nowhere not only refused to pay, but also assaulted my security guards, smashed my shop, and even incited a disturbance here!"

The boss pointed to the few thugs still lying on the ground, then to the surrounding diners who were filled with indignation, looking completely innocent.

"Captain Zhao, you have to do me a favor!"

These words immediately sparked an uproar of anger among those around them.

"Bullshit! You're clearly a rip-off, ripping off your customers!"

"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins for a pot of hundred-year-old soul beast meat, and you still have the nerve to call it normal business?!"

"The wicked accuse first! Shameless!"

However, Zhao Tieshan's face remained completely expressionless when facing the horde of machines.

He merely glanced at the surrounding diners, his gaze carrying a hint of warning, which immediately silenced many of them.

Beibei, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned when she heard what her boss said.

His mind went blank, and his face was filled with disbelief.

The guiding price set by the city lord?

If it were just Xuanzi alone who came up with this short-sighted idea, he could at least understand it—after all, with Xuanzi's brain, it wouldn't be surprising if he did anything.

But... even the Lord of Shrek City got involved in this stupid thing?

How is this possible?!

Beibei shook his head subconsciously; he didn't want to believe it was true.

The fact that the boss dared to mention the city lord in front of so many people meant it couldn't possibly be baseless.

There must be some hidden story behind this that he doesn't know about.

At this moment, Zhao Tieshan had already turned around, his tiger-like eyes looking down at Wang Dong'er, Xi'er, Xiao Xiao, and Xu Xiaoyan with a hint of condescension.

"The course of events is already very clear."

Zhao Tieshan spoke, his voice low and cold, carrying an unquestionable official air.

“It was you guys who caused trouble in this restaurant, injured someone, and refused to pay for the meal.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the unfamiliar hospital uniforms worn by Wang Dong'er and the others, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

“Now, on behalf of the Shrek City Law Enforcement Team, I am officially informing you—”

"First, you must pay the full cost of this signature dish, 500,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"Secondly, you must compensate the store for the damage to its reputation and the cost of repairing the facilities, totaling... 200,000 gold soul coins."

"Third, you must apologize to Xing Mengtanyi and guarantee that you will never do it again."

"You have three deadlines to complete within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, otherwise—"

Zhao Tieshan sneered, and the dozen or so law enforcement officers behind him stepped forward in unison, their soul power surging and releasing an oppressive aura.

"You're all coming back to the law enforcement jail with me to reflect on your actions!"

These words caused an uproar in the entire hall!

"What?! We have to pay compensation?!"

"Isn't this a complete distortion of the truth?!"

"Is this law enforcement team here to uphold justice, or to support these shady shops?!"

The surrounding diners were indignant, and they were all trembling with anger.

Beibei and Tangya were completely stunned.

Beibei stared wide-eyed, her mouth slightly agape, at Zhao Tieshan with an incredulous look on her face.

Favoritism... to this extent?

Instead of holding the shady shops accountable for overcharging customers, they make the victims compensate the shops for "reputational damage"?

This isn't law enforcement; it's clearly aiding and abetting evil!

"Captain Zhao!"

Beibei snapped out of his daze and quickly stepped forward to block Wang Dong'er and the others, speaking urgently.

“I witnessed the whole thing! It’s not what the restaurant owner said at all! They set a trap to rip off customers, selling a pot of ordinary hundred-year-old soul beast meat for a sky-high price of 500,000 gold soul coins, and they didn’t even tell us the price before we ordered! All the diners around us can testify to that!”

Beibei took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm.

“I’m Bebe from Shrek Academy’s School of Foreign Languages. I can testify for these girls; they are the victims!”

Upon hearing Beibei introduce herself, Zhao Tieshan raised an eyebrow slightly, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

"So it's Beibei."

His tone softened slightly, but his attitude remained firm.

"However, even if you are a member of Shrek Academy, you shouldn't get involved in this matter."

Zhao Tieshan looked at Beibei and said, word by word.

"The pricing of this shop is a formal guideline price that has been discussed and personally approved by the City Lord and Elder Xuan, and it fully complies with the regulations of Shrek City."

“Since these girls have ordered food, they must pay for it. As for the dispute between them and the restaurant, our law enforcement team will handle it. Don’t worry about it, Beibei.”

Zhao Tieshan paused, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

"Furthermore, Beibei, you should understand that if this matter is not handled properly today, more people will follow the example of these girls and deliberately cause trouble in Shrek City, challenge Shrek City's rules, and defy the authority of Shrek Academy!"

"Can you bear this responsibility?"

Upon hearing these words, Beibei was completely stunned.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.

What kind of logic is this?

Victims defending their rights are instead labeled as "provoking the rules"?

How can a shady business that overcharges customers be presented as "normal operation"?

Beibei felt that her values ​​had been completely shattered at that moment.

He had a strong premonition that if things continued like this, Shrek Academy's reputation and goodwill, built up over thousands of years, would be completely destroyed by this group of people!

Tang Ya, standing beside Bei Bei, also looked utterly incredulous.

She tugged at Beibei's sleeve and whispered.

“Beibei, this…”
