Xuanzi's face was gloomy, and his voice was low.

"Tell me, what should we do to get revenge on that damned pirate academy?"

"I cannot swallow this insult!"

"That fraudster dares to steal the millennia-old reputation of Shrek Academy and even dares to humiliate me like this! It's outrageous!"

"If we don't teach them a lesson, how will we ever be able to survive on the mainland again?"

"Are you really willing to just let that imposter continue to exist, shitting on our heads?"

Upon hearing Xuanzi's question, Yan Shaozhe could only manage a bitter smile.

Of course he was unwilling. As the dean of the Martial Soul Department, Shrek Academy's honor was his pride.

Now that he's been thoroughly humiliated, not only losing money but also losing face, how could he not want revenge?

but……

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and advised in a respectful yet firm tone.

"Elder Xuan, I understand how you feel."

"That fake academy is truly hateful, and I wish I could get rid of it as soon as possible."

"but……"

Yan Shaozhe looked up and said with some helplessness.

"The teacher has given a direct order."

"We are absolutely not allowed to cause any more trouble; we must behave ourselves."

"As you know, the academy has been severely damaged in the process of trying to redeem you... from us."

"A whole quarter of the ancient herbal treasures!"

"If we act rashly again and cause any more trouble, the academy's foundation may really be hollowed out."

Speaking of this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but recall the scene of being brutally beaten by Zhuo Shi. The other party was simply too strong, especially with that terrifying soul ring configuration, which directly made him behave.

"and……"

Yan Shaozhe shrank back, a hint of lingering fear flashing in his eyes:

"That academy... is indeed quite capable."

"Elder Xuan, we have to admit that if we go head-to-head, we might really be no match for you right now."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's words that boosted others' morale while diminishing his own, Xuanzi's anger intensified.

"Humph!"

Xuanzi snorted coldly and slammed the half roast chicken in his hand heavily on the table.

"In the end, you're just a coward!"

"Shao Zhe, you are the dean of the Martial Soul Department, a level 95 Super Douluo! How could you be so scared after just one beating?"

"Old Mu told you to be steady, not to be a coward!"

Faced with Xuanzi's sarcasm, Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but ultimately swallowed his words.

There was nothing he could do. Although he and Xuanzi were of the same generation, Xuanzi was much older than him, and Mu En had always doted on this troublesome junior disciple.

If you dare to talk back, you'll be the one who suffers in the end.

"Yes, Elder Xuan's teachings are correct."

Yan Shaozhe lowered his head.

"I was overthinking things and being too timid."

"Hmph, good to know."

Seeing that Yan Shaozhe had given in, Xuanzi felt a little better and picked up the half roast chicken to continue licking it.

At this moment

"Dean! Dean Yan!"

A hurried and panicked voice suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterward, a middle-aged teacher dressed in black stumbled into the pavilion, his face as pale as paper and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"What's the panic?!"

Yan Shaozhe frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart, and shouted sharply.

"Can't you see Elder Xuan here? What kind of behavior is this!"

"Something...something terrible has happened!"

"Xiao Tao..."

"Her lustful desires... suddenly erupted!"

"what?!"

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed drastically.

Where is she now?

Yan Shaozhe asked eagerly.

"At...at Poseidon Lake..."

The teacher swallowed hard.

"She...she happened to run into a first-year student who was strolling by the lake when she lost control."

"Then...and then..."

"And then what?!"

Yan Shaozhe grabbed the teacher by the collar and lifted him up.

"That freshman... was engulfed by evil flames and died on the spot."

"Om-"

Yan Shaozhe felt a deafening roar in his mind, as if struck by lightning. His grip loosened, and the teacher fell to the ground.

"Dead... dead?"

Yan Shaozhe muttered to himself, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.

Even if he was injured or crippled, given his status in the academy, they could find a way to suppress the incident. At worst, they could pay him some money or provide him with some resources to keep him quiet.

but……

Killed?

On the shores of Poseidon Lake, an innocent freshman was murdered?

The nature of this has completely changed!

Although Moon is protective of his own, what he hates most is the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, especially students from his own college.

If Moon finds out about this...

"What...what should we do?"

Yan Shaozhe paced anxiously in circles.

"It would be terrible if the teacher found out..."

"Does anyone else know about this?"

Yan Shaozhe suddenly turned his head to look at the teacher, his eyes fierce.

"Currently, I'm the only one who has seen it."

The teacher said, his voice trembling.

"I came to report to you immediately."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the weight in his heart still lingered.

You can't hide fire with paper.

A freshman has gone missing; he will be found out sooner or later.

Just when Yan Shaozhe was at a loss.

"Ha ha……"

"Shao Zhe..."

Xuanzi looked at the flustered Yan Shaozhe and spoke in a leisurely tone.

"It seems that although you, as the dean, usually have a lot of clever ideas, you are still not calm enough when you really encounter a problem."

"Master Xuan...?"

Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, looking at Xuanzi's confident appearance, as if he had grasped the last straw.

"You...you have a solution?"

"Of course."

Xuanzi stood up, walked over to Yan Shaozhe with his hands behind his back, patted him on the shoulder, and left a few greasy handprints.

"If you're willing to help me, put in more effort and stop making excuses like you did today..."

"I can help you solve this problem."

"real?!"

Yan Shaozhe was overjoyed. At this moment, he didn't care about Mu En's ban. As long as he could protect Ma Xiaotao and prevent her from getting into trouble, he would do anything!

"Elder Xuan! As long as you can help me get through this crisis, I'll do whatever you say from now on!"

"I, Yan Shaozhe, will follow your lead without question!"

"it is good!"

Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction.

That's exactly what he wanted to hear. With this leverage in his hands, Yan Shaozhe would become the most obedient weapon in his hands.

"Actually, this is not difficult to handle."

"Don't forget, besides being an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, I have another identity."

"Deputy Director of the Shrek Watch."

The Shrek Watch is the most core and mysterious organization in Shrek Academy, responsible for monitoring and hunting down evil spirit masters who commit numerous atrocities on the continent.

Although nominally, Moon is the leader of the delegation.

However, due to his physical disability, Moon has been staying at the Sea God Pavilion for many years and has not been involved in worldly affairs.

Therefore, the actual control and specific arrangements of the oversight group have always been handled by Xuanzi.

He is the actual power holder, possessing enormous room for maneuver and the right to interpret the law.

"Elder Xuan, you mean..."

Yan Shaozhe seemed to have guessed something, but he wasn't sure.

Xuanzi sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"The death of a newborn is indeed a big deal."

"But if..."

"This new student was not killed by Xiao Tao."

"But rather..."

Xuanzi paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately:

"I encountered a cultist who had infiltrated Shrek City."

"To protect the academy, to protect the civilians."

"This freshman fought bravely and fought a desperate battle against the evil spirit master."
