Ah Yin's Submission!

It was simply because of their identities and backgrounds.

They feared causing some misunderstanding, and also worried that if the people at those academies learned their identities, they might send word to their elder brother.

After all, profit stirred people's hearts! Moreover, both Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were currently on the run.

Naturally, they had to minimize the risks! Of course, Zhu Zhuqing had another thought as well—after all, she had not seen Dai Mubai's strength.

What if he was already very powerful now? What if he had not neglected his cultivation all these years, and their encounter yesterday had merely been a coincidence?

Zhu Zhuqing comforted herself like this inwardly.

However, she did not particularly want to say this to Yun Feng.

After all, at this moment, she had her own little calculations in mind as well.

After leaving Suotuo City, the two followed the road south. Vast fields stretched along both sides of the official road. Suotuo City's reputation as the grain capital of the Balak Kingdom was certainly well deserved.

Yet aside from the expansive farmland, there were no buildings resembling an academy anywhere within sight.

Zhu Zhuqing was beginning to suspect that the information she had received was wrong.

After all, how could a place like this possibly have an academy?

It couldn't be one of those villages, could it?

About a li ahead stood a small village, surrounded by a wooden fence that seemed intended to keep out wild beasts.

Yun Feng naturally saw the scene as well, and his instincts told him that this place should be Shrek Academy.

Sure enough, as they drew closer, Yun Feng saw a somewhat dilapidated plaque hanging from a wooden archway at the village entrance. Five simple words were carved upon it: Shrek Academy.

Before those five words was a green head-shaped emblem, resembling the head of some humanoid monster.

It was green and rather disgusting.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.

Even if they were not going to some prestigious academy, surely it should not be a place like this, right? Wasn't this just a small village? Where was there even the slightest resemblance to an academy?

Though countless thoughts churned within Zhu Zhuqing's mind, she did not show them on her face. She merely said to Yun Feng, "Yun Feng, are you sure someone with your talent wants to study at an academy like this?"

Yun Feng smiled calmly and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing.

"You said it yourself. With talent like mine, it doesn't really matter where I go. The difference won't be great!"

Upon hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing let out a sigh.

"You don't have to be like this."

Yun Feng knew that Zhu Zhuqing had misunderstood, but he did not explain. Wasn't this better instead?

Just as Yun Feng was thinking about this, a faint sound came from the bundle on his back.

Zhu Zhuqing did not hear it, but Yun Feng sensed it.

With that in mind, Yun Feng took the initiative to contact Ah Yin within his Sea of Consciousness.

Seeing her haggard appearance, Yun Feng said bluntly, "What is it? You sensed your son's aura and can't wait to escape?"

Ah Yin's expression changed several times. She looked directly at Yun Feng and said, "What exactly do you want?"

"What grudge is there between us?"

Yun Feng did not answer such questions. He merely looked at Ah Yin and said, "Don't ask—unless you want your son, Tang San, to be branded as well and made to obey my orders!"

Ah Yin's body trembled several times. At the thought of such a thing, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

Over these past days, Ah Yin had come to deeply understand what kind of demon Yun Feng truly was.

He could actually control her body.

Ah Yin had assumed from the start that once someone was branded, they would be completely controlled by Yun Feng.

What she did not know was that it had only been so easy because her strength was insufficient.

Moreover, the Soul Control Great Method did not merely control the body. Its greatest power lay in controlling a person's soul!

Even so, Ah Yin did not want Tang San to fall under someone else's control. After hesitating for a moment, she finally lowered her proud head.

"I'm sorry. I won't do this again."

Seeing Ah Yin behave so obediently, Yun Feng smiled as well.

"Good that you understand. If I catch you again next time, the consequences won't be so simple!"

"Mm, I understand!"

After giving the restless Ah Yin a warning, Yun Feng did not remain in the Sea of Consciousness any longer.

Zhu Zhuqing watched Yun Feng standing there in a daze, thinking he was dissatisfied with Shrek Academy.

"If you don't want to come here, Yun Feng, then you don't have to stay here for my sake."

When Zhu Zhuqing said this, she was somewhat embarrassed.

But her tone was still extremely earnest.

Yun Feng smiled and shook his head. "That's not it. I wasn't thinking about that—I was thinking about something else. Don't overthink it!"

"Come on, let's go in and take a look first. It seems registration here has already ended!"

With that, Yun Feng stepped directly into the village.

After asking the villagers and learning that Shrek Academy was located in the rear half of the village, Yun Feng and Zhu Zhuqing headed there at once.

But when the two of them arrived, they did not find a single person.

After wandering around the academy for a while, they finally heard faint sounds coming from the playground.

Following the sound, they spotted figures in the distance.

However, they seemed to be waiting for something.

Before long, a figure silently appeared behind Yun Feng and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Who are you? Why have you appeared at Shrek Academy?"

Hearing the voice, Yun Feng and Zhu Zhuqing instinctively turned around to look at the newcomer.

The man appeared to be around fifty. He was powerfully built, and his face had very distinctive features: a somewhat protruding chin, broad cheekbones, a flat face, and a slightly hooked nose.

If he had to be compared to something, then his face somewhat resembled the sole of a shoe.

Although his eyes were closed, he still gave off a somewhat crafty impression.

He wore a pair of black-framed crystal glasses, with rigid square frames.

As he spoke, an invisible pressure of Soul Power radiated from him.

Faced with this situation, Yun Feng was not flustered in the slightest. He merely said calmly, "We came to register, but we missed the registration time, so we came in to take a look."

Yun Feng spoke casually, and the middle-aged man showed no dissatisfaction.

After thinking for a moment, he said directly, "The registration fee is one hundred Gold Soul Coins. If you fail the test, there will be no refund."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate at all. She took out a cloth bag from her Storage Soul Tool, counted out two hundred Gold Soul Coins, and tossed them into the middle-aged man's hand.

"We're registering!"

The middle-aged man nodded, weighed the cloth bag in his hand, and confirmed that the amount was correct.

"Follow me!"

After saying that, the man headed straight toward the playground.

Yun Feng and Zhu Zhuqing followed after him.
