Heaven Dou Royal Academy

"Don't even think about it! They're Shrek's little monsters, my students. There's no way they're going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy!" Flender slammed the table and refused harshly.

"This..." Qin Ming was momentarily speechless.

Su Xiao and the others had not expected Flender to be so resistant to Qin Ming's invitation.

At the dinner table earlier, Qin Ming had deliberately—or perhaps casually—revealed his intention to invite Su Xiao and the others to study at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "Shrek students can still attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Flender did not understand and demanded loudly, "Yu Xiaogang, what do you mean?"

"Send the little monsters to Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Yu Xiaogang's words carried a deeper meaning. "And have them represent Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition a year from now."

Still fuming, Flender roared, "No! The little monsters can only represent Shrek!"

"Then do you have the ability to let them represent Shrek?"

Yu Xiaogang's single sentence left Flender speechless.

"Shrek has never registered with any kingdom or empire. In other words, we do not even qualify to compete." Yu Xiaogang sounded rather helpless.

Unwilling to accept it, Flender argued, "Even without registration, Shrek can still give the little monsters the best education!"

Yu Xiaogang set down his tea and rebuked him coldly, "Can you provide them with mimetic cultivation? Flender, your selfishness will ruin these children's futures!"

Flender had nothing left to say. Unwillingly, he punched the table.

"I can agree to let the little monsters attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but on one condition!" Flender looked seriously at Qin Ming.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy must accept all of Shrek's teachers, and we will personally guide the little monsters' cultivation."

Qin Ming understood what Flender meant. Even if Shrek joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Shrek would still retain its own methods of education and management.

"The Royal Academy will welcome the headmaster, Master, and the other teachers, as well as all of you junior brothers—"

Before Qin Ming could finish, Flender interrupted, "Xiaogang, you discuss the remaining matters and details with Qin Ming. I'm going out for some air."

Everyone could see the disappointment on Flender's face. At the same time, Ma Hongjun followed Flender and ran outside.

Dai Mubai said, "Fatty really cares about the headmaster."

Oscar echoed him. Looking at the table full of delicacies, he said in surprise, "The headmaster's status is actually higher than Master's."

Su Xiao explained, "Fatty's relationship with the headmaster is like the relationship Xiao San and I have with our teacher. Dai Boss, Xiao Ao, you know about Fatty's background, right?"

Dai Mubai and Oscar exchanged a glance, then nodded.

"Ma Hongjun's background? Hurry up and tell us! Stop keeping us in suspense!" Xiao Wu asked curiously after swallowing the carrot in her mouth.

Afterward, Dai Mubai and Oscar briefly recounted Ma Hongjun's background.

"So Fatty had been studying under the headmaster since he was six. Isn't that just like stinky A Xiao and Third Brother? No wonder." Xiao Wu looked outside the dining hall with a complicated expression.

"No matter where I go, I'll always be your disciple—the Evil Fire Phoenix of Shrek! I won't acknowledge any other title!" Ma Hongjun declared arrogantly.

Flender suddenly understood. Stroking his chin, he burst into laughter. "That's right—borrow the hen to lay the egg!"

When he looked up, he happened to see Su Xiao and the other seven approaching as well.

Su Xiao led the others and said firmly:

"That's right, Headmaster! No matter where we are, we will always be your Shrek!"
