"Su Mo, you like that girl called Ning Rongrong, don't you?"
After he returned to the dorm, Bibi Dong's figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Mo, and she began questioning him.
"No, I don't!"
Faced with Bibi Dong's question, Su Mo was baffled. He had no idea where Bibi Dong had gotten the idea that he liked Ning Rongrong. Was it because he had wandered around with her a little during the day?
"Good. She isn't simply from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She's also the only daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master—the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Seeing Su Mo deny it, Bibi Dong could not really say much more, so she pointed out Ning Rongrong's identity instead.
Of course, this was not because Bibi Dong herself had fallen for Su Mo.
Rather, after so many years, she had gradually come to understand this little brat Su Mo, and she knew how outstanding he was.
Although Su Mo's talent was poor, his intelligence was something she greatly admired. In particular, Su Mo had even relied on his own wisdom to solve the problem of his insufficient talent.
In this regard, Su Mo had even done better than Yu Xiaogang!
That was why Bibi Dong was very optimistic about Su Mo's future.
Since she was optimistic about Su Mo's future, Bibi Dong naturally did not want an outstanding potential stock like him to fall for a girl like Ning Rongrong.
She admitted that Ning Rongrong was excellent, but she still could not compare to her daughter Qian Renxue and her disciple Hu Liena!
Bibi Dong was still waiting for a chance in the future to let Su Mo get to know Qian Renxue or Hu Liena!
Of course, her daughter Qian Renxue took priority. Only if Qian Renxue did not take a liking to Su Mo would it be Hu Liena's turn.
In the past, she had indeed doted more on Hu Liena, but after that final great battle, she had already let go of her prejudice against Qian Renxue. Naturally, she wanted to leave the best for her daughter!
That was better than her daughter going mad and falling in love with Tang San.
And Hu Liena, too. In the future, she absolutely had to stop Hu Liena from falling for Tang San.
So no matter how things turned out in the end, she first had to stop Su Mo from liking any other girls.
"The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"If I really did like her, wouldn't that be even better?"
Only, what Bibi Dong had not expected was that after she directly revealed Ning Rongrong's identity, intending to make Su Mo retreat in the face of difficulty, Su Mo instead laughed when he heard it.
"You... Don't you feel you're not worthy of her?"
"And she's the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. How could she possibly take a liking to you? Even if she did, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind her wouldn't agree!"
Seeing Su Mo's reaction, Bibi Dong quickly spoke.
Su Mo's reaction had truly gone beyond her expectations.
Back then, when Yu Xiaogang faced her, he had been extremely insecure and sensitive. Even though he liked her, he had not dared to express his feelings. In the end, she had been the one to take the initiative.
So in her view, Su Mo, whose innate talent was poor and whose background was not good either, should have been the same as Yu Xiaogang back then when facing Ning Rongrong.
Who would have thought that Su Mo did not feel the slightest bit inferior? Instead, he seemed even happier.
"None of that matters. If I really like someone, then I'll work hard to fight for it!"
"Even if the final result isn't what I want, at least I'll have tried. Then I won't regret it!"
Facing Bibi Dong's words, Su Mo said without the slightest concern.
"What you said is right. I just feel she isn't suitable for you. As long as you don't like her, that's fine!"
Bibi Dong admired Su Mo even more, but since Su Mo had not admitted that he liked Ning Rongrong, she could not very well keep trying to persuade him.
Afterward, Bibi Dong returned to Su Mo's Spirit Space.
Only, before going back, Bibi Dong vaguely felt as if something was off. Why did today's scene feel a little familiar?
The next day, everyone gathered on the academy's sports field.
As the oldest senior, Dai Mubai introduced everyone to one another, whether they were new students or old ones.
For the time being, everyone could be considered acquainted.
Not long after, Dean Flender finally arrived late.
"Not bad. This year, our Shrek Academy has gained five more little monsters!"
"But no matter who you were before, once you arrive here at Shrek, you must follow Shrek's rules!"
"Because everyone here is no worse than anyone else. Here, you have no right to be arrogant!"
"..."
"The first lesson for all Battle Soul Masters today will be tonight. I'll take you there this evening!"
Flender said a whole pile of opening-ceremony nonsense, and after emphasizing Shrek Academy's characteristics and rules, he also arranged the day's lessons.
The lesson time for the Battle Soul Masters was pushed straight to the evening, while Ning Rongrong and Oscar, the Support System Soul Masters, were assigned their lesson first.
"Support System Soul Masters Oscar and Ning Rongrong, step forward!"
"The most important thing for a Support System Soul Master is ensuring their own safety, so you need the ability to flee and preserve your lives!"
"Starting now, run twenty laps around the entire academy!"
Those final instructions were clearly aimed at Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
"Ah..."
"Got it!"
Oscar gave a wry smile when he heard that, but the thought of being able to run with Ning Rongrong immediately cheered him up. He got to his feet and slowly jogged off first.
Only after hesitating for a moment did Ning Rongrong follow him out.
Watching Oscar and Ning Rongrong's backs, Flender laughed inwardly.
He knew Ning Rongrong definitely would not be able to keep going. What he wanted was precisely for Ning Rongrong to fail, to make a mistake, so he would have a reason to lecture her.
He had still been a little worried yesterday, but before going to sleep last night, he had found a letter on his bed, delivered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, had taken the initiative to tell him not to have too many misgivings, asking him to properly correct Ning Rongrong's spoiled temperament.
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect giving him free rein, what else did he have to worry about?
Of course he would act without holding back!
"The rest of you are dismissed. Tang San, come with me for a moment!"
After that, Flender dismissed everyone else, leaving only Tang San behind.
When he saw the Soul Tool at Tang San's waist, he had already guessed Tang San's identity. Calling Tang San over was merely to confirm it further.
After Tang San was called away, only Su Mo and the others were left where they were.
Because Tang San had been called away, Xiao Wu had no way to keep clinging to him, so she could only drag Zhu Zhuqing away with her.
Dai Mubai looked as if he wanted to chase after Zhu Zhuqing's departing figure, but in the end, he did not. Instead, he pulled Ma Hongjun away with him.
"So this is free-range teaching, huh!"
Su Mo grumbled about it. They had gathered early in the morning, and then classes were set for the evening, leaving the entire day for the students to do whatever they wanted.
That said, Su Mo actually felt this suited him quite well.
Su Mo did not need any other resources to begin with, aside from the materials needed to forge weapons. Su Mo's only main purpose in entering Shrek was to stop Tang San and the others from obtaining the Immortal Herbs.
As for Ning Rongrong, adapting would be a little difficult. It was not that Ning Rongrong could not adapt to this kind of free-range education, but that she first needed to be taught a lesson and put through a round of PUA!
P.S. Short and weak!
