"Thank you, Teacher Fanyu."

Zhou Yi's expression turned even uglier upon hearing Fan Yu's words.

She glared at Fan Yu fiercely and snorted coldly.

"Fine, if you're willing to guard this empty shell, that's your business."

She turned around and strode towards the courtyard gate without looking back.

"I'll give you a little more time to think it over."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, only Fan Yu, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya remained, along with a few students and teachers in the distance who were hunched over and dared not speak.

Fan Yu looked in the direction Zhou Yi had left and sighed.

“Beibei, Tang Ya, don’t blame Zhou Yi. She’s just too clear-headed, to the point of being cold-blooded.”

He paused for a moment, then added.

"However, she has a point."

Beibei looked up at Fanyu.

"Shrek Academy is indeed facing difficulties right now, but it is precisely in these difficult times that we must not fall apart. Shrek Academy's enduring foundation is not so easily crumbled."

Fan Yu's voice became firm.

He looked at Beibei and said seriously.

"I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely get through this."

Beibei nodded.

"I see."

Fan Yu patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, you go back and take care of Elder Mu. I'll keep an eye on things at the school."

Beibei nodded and turned to walk towards the medical room.

Tang Ya followed behind him, and the two of them returned to Mu En's sickbed.

The air in the medical room remained stuffy, the groans of the wounded mingling with the smell of medicine, making one's chest feel heavy.

Beibei sat down beside Moon's sickbed, looking at his peaceful, aged face, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Tang Ya stood beside him and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.

“Beibei…”

"I'm fine."

Beibei shook her head and said softly.

He just looked at Moon and remained silent for a long time.

Then, he lowered his head, his voice very soft.

"Ancestor... what should I do?"

His voice was filled with confusion and helplessness.

"Teacher Fanyu said that we can get through this if we work together, but... I really don't know how many people are willing to stay."

His voice grew softer and softer, almost turning into a murmur.

"I really don't know what to do..."

On the hospital bed, Moon's fingers suddenly twitched slightly.

Beibei shuddered and abruptly raised her head.

"Ancestor Xuanzu?!"

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared intently at Moon's hand.

My finger twitched again.

"Ancestor Xuanzu!!"

Beibei rushed to the bedside, her voice filled with excitement.

"You...you're awake?!"

Tang Ya was also stunned and quickly came over.

"Elder Mu?"

The surrounding medical soul masters also heard the commotion and rushed over, gathering around the hospital bed.

Moon's brows furrowed slightly, and a look of pain appeared on his aged face, as if he were struggling to wake up from a long nightmare.

Then, his eyelids slowly opened.

Those dark and deep eyes slowly focused in the dim light.

He saw Beibei's face, which was full of excitement and tears.

“Beibei…”

Moon's voice was hoarse and weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to go out at any moment.

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

Beibei finally couldn't hold back her tears and they welled up in her eyes.

"Ancestor Xuan! You've finally woken up!"

He held Moon's hand tightly, afraid that if he let go, he would lose him again.

Moon blinked with difficulty.

"How long...am I unconscious?"

His voice was still weak, but it was a little clearer than before.

Five months.

Beibei answered, her voice choked with emotion.

"You have been in a coma for five months."

Five months.

A complex look flashed in Moon's eyes.

He paused for a moment, then asked.

"How's Shrek Academy going?"

Beibei's body stiffened slightly.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but found that his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't utter a single word.

How should he answer?

Tell Xuanzu that Shrek Academy was attacked, and fifteen Title Douluos were defeated by one person in two moves?

Tell Xuanzu that the academy's treasure trove has been emptied, and not even a single soul bone remains.

Tell the progenitor that Shrek Academy's millennia-old reputation has been ruined in an instant?

Beibei's mind was in complete chaos.

He could feel the hand holding Moon's move slightly again.

Moon seemed to sense Beibei's hesitation, and a glint of light flashed in his murky eyes.

"say."

Beibei took a deep breath, raised her head, and met Moon's gaze.

“Ancestor…”

"Shrek Academy...something has happened."

Chapter 248 Moon: Spread the word that I'm going to die

“Ancestor, please listen to what I have to say calmly.”

Beibei took a deep breath and recounted everything that had happened during this period.

From the conflict sparked by Xuanzi's "guidance price," to Shen Ce's demotion, to Zang Xin's solo fight against the Sea God Pavilion with only a sword, resulting in the defeat of fifteen titled Douluo in two moves, and then to the treasury being emptied... he didn't embellish the story.

Moon listened quietly as Beibei finished recounting what had happened after she fell into a coma.

“Ancestor, that’s how it is.”

After saying the last word, Beibei lowered her head, not daring to look into Moon's eyes.

His hands were trembling slightly. He was afraid that if Moon heard all this, he would be so angry that he would faint again, or even...

Help me up.

Moon's voice was hoarse, without the rage and hysterical questioning that Beibei had expected, just a simple four words.

Beibei was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and carefully helped Mu En sit up, placing two pillows behind his back so he could lean against the hospital bed.

Moon's gaze slowly swept across the medical room.

Xuanzi lay on the innermost hospital bed, his face pale, his abdomen wrapped in thick bandages, still unconscious.

Yan Shaozhe lay beside him, his right arm empty, occasionally letting out a low groan.

Qian Duoduo, Elder Song, Lin Huiqun, Elder Zhuang... all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion are lying here.

In Moon's eyes, there was no anger, no sadness, only a deep sense of helplessness.

That sense of helplessness is like that of an old man in his twilight years, watching the family business he built with his own hands slowly crumble, yet powerless to reverse the decline.

“Ancestor…”

Beibei looked at Moon nervously and spoke cautiously.

"Please...please don't get so agitated..."

"I'm fine."

Moon shook his head, his voice weak but calm.

“Beibei, I have a question for you.”

He paused for a moment.

"After I fell into a coma, was Xuanzi in charge of the overall situation?"

Beibei nodded.

"Yes."

"I knew it."

Moon sighed deeply, his aged face full of exhaustion.

"Before I lost consciousness, I clearly instructed that Xuanzi be locked in the solitary confinement room so that he could reflect on his actions, but..."

He didn't continue, but just shook his head slightly.

When Mu En's gaze fell on the unconscious Elder Song and Elder Lin, his expression became even more complicated.

He originally thought Xuanzi was unreliable and planned to lock Xuanzi up and let Elder Song and Elder Lin take charge of the overall situation.

But now it seems that neither of them listened to him.

Or rather, they listened, but didn't put it into practice.

A bitter smile curved the corners of Moon's lips.

He suddenly realized that his explanation before he lost consciousness was like a joke.

Xuanzi was not imprisoned; instead, he took the initiative. Neither Elder Song nor Elder Lin stood up to stop him, and no one took his confession seriously.

So, it's not surprising that Shrek Academy has become what it is today.
