The Noble Virtue Every Shrek Student Must Learn: Bullying the Weak and Fearing the Strong

.

Du Wilun watched the two girls being led away by Zhang Lexuan and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At last, someone has taken these two inherently evil girls away.

Inside Shrek Academy

"Junior Moyan, why have you been staring at me?" Zhang Lexuan sensed the gaze burning into her back. Filled with curiosity, she slowly turned around, a gentle smile on her face as her soft eyes met Moyan's.

Moyan continued to gaze quietly at Zhang Lexuan. The pity, sorrow, and faint trace of amusement in her eyes became increasingly obvious as their gazes met.

Her lips remained tightly sealed, as though she had no interest in explaining herself. She merely stood there, radiating an air of mystery and detachment. Seeing this, Dugu Luo hurriedly stepped forward and stood between them.

She gave a slight bow, wearing a perfectly appropriate smile as she explained to Zhang Lexuan, "Senior Zhang Lexuan, Moyan thinks you and she are very alike. You both have dogs... people you want to protect." Dugu Luo nearly let the word "dogs" slip out halfway through, but fortunately, she reacted quickly enough.

Dugu Luo secretly congratulated herself on her quick reaction. Lord Saint's status is incomparably noble. How could those Shrek Academy higher-ups and their descendants compare? They're the real dogs, willing to do anything for profit. How could they possibly be mentioned in the same breath as Lord Saint?

Moyan looked at Dugu Luo strangely. A Luo was practically being led astray by her. When she returned her to the original body in the future, would he beat her to death upon seeing what A Luo had become?

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's gaze became even gentler. "It seems Junior Moyan also has a younger brother or sister?"

At the mention of younger siblings, Zhang Lexuan thought of Beibei, the little tagalong who had always followed behind her. But now that her little brother had grown up, he did not even come looking for his elder sister anymore.

Moyan finally spoke, and her very first words landed like a direct blow. "Senior Zhang Lexuan, the feeling you give me is truly so fake."

Dugu Luo: ???

No, Lady Moyan, this is the relative of the old man Lord Saint mentioned. Why did you start right away?

"Why do you say that?"

Although Zhang Lexuan did not know why Moyan had said such a thing, she did not get angry and merely asked curiously.

"A lost lamb that cannot find the path it truly desires is indeed pitiful." This time, Moyan did not maintain her aloofness. Instead, she answered with a riddle before walking past Zhang Lexuan toward the dormitories.

If this woman's relative had not made the original body owe her a favor, Moyan would have wanted to lash out long ago. Did she really think Moyan could not see what she was plotting?

Was it not just immortal herbs? Mu En, that old fox, knew force would not work on her, so he could only try softness.

Unfortunately, Moyan was someone who could not be swayed by either soft or hard tactics! And after all that sharp-tongued mockery, she was exhausted and only wanted to return to the dormitory to sleep.

"Senior Zhang Lexuan, there's no need to lead us. We already know the way to the dormitories." Seeing Lady Moyan leave like that, Dugu Luo immediately bid Zhang Lexuan farewell and hurried after Moyan.

Zhang Lexuan stood there blankly, her mind sinking into thought. She knew Moyan's words carried a hidden meaning, but at this stage, she could not quite understand it. Or perhaps she simply did not want to understand.

"Lady Moyan, was that really okay?" Dugu Luo leaned slightly closer to Moyan, lowering her voice. There was a trace of concern on her face as she glanced back at Zhang Lexuan.

"What is there to be okay or not okay about?" Hearing Dugu Luo's quiet question, Moyan did not even turn her head. She lifted her foot and continued toward the dormitories, answering in a casual yet unquestionable tone, "I was just a little irritated because Zhang Lexuan reminded me of a female Huo Yuhao."

As Moyan spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, and a complicated emotion flashed through her eyes. It seemed like disgust, but also pity for Zhang Lexuan.

Why did so many people hate Tang San?

It was not because Tang San held double standards. It was because of that disgusting face of his. He was the one who did the deed, yet he always had to add something about doing it for the greater good.

Hypocritical to the extreme. Mu En was the same. If he wanted something done, he should just do it himself, yet he always had to let his disciple or the other elders of Sea God Pavilion do it, while he merely offered silent approval.

That kind of routine was exactly what Old Huo liked most.

There was something else as well. The extermination of Zhang Lexuan's family and the family of the old man the original body spoke of was truly very interesting. Although the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family had indeed issued the order, another party had also intervened.

That was the great Shrek Supervisory Team. It was truly amusing. They did not kill many Evil Soul Masters, nor did they kill many great nobles, but they killed the most minor and mid-ranking nobles.

At the time, a Dragon Slave captured a member of the Shrek Inner Court and received a very interesting answer: "They have already embarked upon the path of Evil Soul Masters and deserve death."

Someone merely wanted to avenge their family, and they were slapped with such a charge. It was honestly rather laughable.

They basically did not dare kill emperors, great nobles, or high-ranking officials. They killed more minor and mid-ranking nobles and petty officials than Evil Soul Masters. Some Evil Soul Masters had even been driven into becoming Evil Soul Masters by them.

To sum it up simply: the noble virtue of Shrek from ten thousand years ago—"bullying the weak and fearing the strong"—had been thoroughly learned by this generation of Shrek Academy students.

The two headed toward the dormitories. As they neared the dormitory building, Moyan immediately spotted an old man lying on a wooden bench beneath it, basking in the sun.

The old man wore a gray robe faded from countless washes. His eyes were slightly closed, deep wrinkles covering his face, yet he comfortably enjoyed the sun's caress. Beside him sat an ancient rattan chair and a cane that glimmered with a faint, eerie light.

In the end, I still ran into the person I least wanted to see. Moyan did not stop walking and continued forward. Dugu Luo lowered her head and immediately followed. They wanted to ignore this decrepit old man and return straight to their dormitory.

The latest novels are first published here!

"Two students!"

Of course, what they feared came to pass. Mu En's kindly voice rang out.

Seeing that she could not avoid him, Moyan paused and lazily looked at Mu En. "What is it, you old fossil?"

Mu En: .

This girl's mouth truly is extraordinary, Mu En thought helplessly before asking, "Two students, what are your names?"

"Moyan." Moyan politely gave her own name, then answered for Dugu Luo as well. "Her name is Dugu Luo."

Dugu Luo remained silent. She knew she could not say a single word right now. The moment she spoke, Mu En would seize the initiative.

"What fine names~" Mu En stroked his beard and chuckled. He also introduced himself, saying, "My name is Mu En. Miss Dugu Yan must have told you about me long ago, right?"

Dugu Luo did not speak, so Mu En used Dugu Yan to open the conversation.

"Don't know you. Who are you?"

Mu En: .

Yesterday, I truly did not introduce my name or title to these two little ones, but surely they could recognize my voice? Even if they couldn't recognize my voice, their elders should have introduced me to them, right? Don't tell me they weren't curious at all and never asked anything?

Moyan: Absolutely!

Anyway, today they were going to stubbornly cling to those three words: "Don't know you."

Thank you for the gifts and votes. I also want to post bonus chapters, but work is simply too busy, and I am terribly slow at writing, so there is really nothing I can do. ┭┮﹏┭┮
