Ning Rongrong's True Nature!

Yun Qi nodded but said nothing. Ning Rongrong beside him, however, asked:

"What about the academy's curriculum?"

Oscar thought for a moment before replying helplessly:

"Before you came, the academy had too few students, so our curriculum was always changing. After all, there are so many teachers, and the lessons are basically adjusted according to each person's circumstances. So I don't know what the academy's current arrangements are either!"

Oscar took the water Dai Mubai handed him, chuckled at Dai Mubai, then drained it in one gulp. After clearing his throat, he continued:

"So, the academy's annual tuition of one hundred Gold Soul Coins is absolutely worth it for you!"

Clearly, Oscar didn't know about Yun Qi and the others' cheats, but Yun Qi didn't say anything. He merely smiled and echoed him a few times. Xiao Wu, however, couldn't help speaking up:

"Then why is your academy so poor? Logically speaking, the academy has several teachers above level sixty, as well as the dean and Teacher Zhao, who are both Spirit Sages. You shouldn't be this poor, right?"

Before Oscar could answer, Ma Hongjun spoke up as well:

"We still receive subsidies from Spirit Hall, but the teachers don't!"

Xiao Wu and the others knew about this. Spirit Master subsidies continued until a Spirit Master broke through to become a Soul Elder and reached the Soul Ancestor rank, at which point they stopped. For example, Yun Qi could no longer receive subsidies now. Ma Hongjun had clearly misunderstood what Xiao Wu meant, though!

"That's not what I'm asking! I mean, your Spirit Master levels are so high. Anything you did casually would earn more than this! There's no way you'd let the academy fall into such poverty!"

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar all froze, clearly discovering the blind spot in the matter.

Ning Rongrong also wore an innocent smile as she said to Xiao Wu:

"Xiao Wu, don't ask anymore. Maybe the teachers have an unspeakable secret and are embarrassed to go out and make money!"

When Ma Hongjun and the others heard Ning Rongrong's words, it seemed as if she was explaining things to Xiao Wu, but everyone present understood what she really meant!

Ma Hongjun and Oscar both became furious. They had been brought back by their dean, Flender, who had shown them great recognition. They couldn't stand hearing Ning Rongrong mock their teacher through veiled insults.

Ning Rongrong didn't have Yun Qi's aura, so she couldn't influence Ma Hongjun and Oscar. Ma Hongjun was currently pure-hearted and free of desire, while Oscar had a beauty companion. Naturally, neither of them was bewitched by Ning Rongrong's appearance.

The two of them raised their hands and slammed them onto the table, flipping the bowls and chopsticks on it. They angrily questioned Ning Rongrong in unison:

"What did you mean by that just now?"

But who was Ning Rongrong? In her sect, she was the most beloved Little Princess. When had she ever suffered such an insult? She stopped pretending, a look of disgust appearing on her face as she retorted:

"What you think I meant is exactly what I meant!"

Seeing that Ning Rongrong not only refused to back down but even mocked them, the two of them wanted to make a move. Ning Rongrong merely gave them a disdainful smile and said slowly:

"If you dare lay a finger on me, every member of Shrek, including your dean, will be dead here tomorrow. Do you believe me or not?"

Yun Qi had originally wanted to intervene, but when he saw Ning Rongrong's current appearance, which was completely different from how she had been manipulated by Flender in the original story, he hesitated. In the original story, despite having power and influence at home, she had lowered her head to Dai Mubai and accepted Flender's punishment. Although she had been acting under orders, this situation was still completely different!

Yun Qi thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, these were living, breathing people. How could anyone be bullied without fighting back? Moreover, Ning Rongrong's first impression of them had been terrible. If she had power behind her but refused to use it, Yun Qi would have thought something was wrong with her brain. After all, that logic simply didn't hold up!

As for Oscar and Ma Hongjun, they also calmed down. Ning Rongrong's identity was clearly extraordinary. During the meal, she had once again told everyone her basic information: her Innate Soul Power was level nine, and her Martial Soul was the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. From that, it could be concluded that Ning Rongrong was the Favored Daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They didn't dare bet on whether Bodies Strewn Across The Field would fill the place tomorrow.

After calming down, they broke into a Cold Sweat. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two Titled Douluo and a Very Good Relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if they hadn't directly cursed her, they would have to endure it even if she pointed at their noses and cursed them!

Thinking of this, the two of them hurriedly apologized:

"Sorry, Ning Rongrong. We got a little Agitated just now! We're really sorry!"

Seeing the two bowing in apology and Ning Rongrong, who had no intention of forgiving them, Yun Qi stepped forward and said:

"Rong Rong, accept their apology. You'll still be Classmates studying together in the future!"

As Yun Qi spoke, he Winked at Ning Rongrong from a position the two couldn't see.

Ning Rongrong didn't understand what Yun Qi meant, but she knew he must still have something to say to her. She immediately indicated that she could forgive the two of them.

"I'll forgive you for Brother Qi's sake. But if you dare show Killing Intent toward me again, I won't be polite!"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar hurriedly Nodded. How could they dare Make a Move again? They didn't want to enjoy a moment of satisfaction, only for Shrek Academy and everyone from Shrek to vanish from the Spirit Master world without a trace the next day!

Now, as they looked at Yun Qi, who had spoken up for them, their eyes were filled with gratitude.

Looking at the scene before him, Yun Qi thought, Now that's more like it! What's the point of having power if you don't use it? This Ning Rongrong really suits my tastes!

Yun Qi casually Waved His Hand and slowly said to the two:

"I helped you this time, but don't act like that again. You're all Classmates. Is there anything you can't discuss? If you say something wrong, you can explain it slowly. Why act as if you have to fight and kill?"

Ma Hongjun Mut­tered aggrievedly:

"Brother Qi, that's just how our academy's School Rule is. We Encourage Fighting!"

Everyone shook their heads and sighed. Only Tang San's eyes Shining Brightly! He thought, This academy truly deserves to be called Monster Academy. Even its Rules are so strange! I really did come to the right place!

Well, Tang San's Previous Life had also been spent in a sect that played with hidden weapons. Valuing combat and irregularity might simply have been their habit!

Yun Qi was startled. So this School Rule has been drilled into your Brains? He couldn't help raising his Thumb and giving Ma Hongjun and Oscar a thumbs-up!

"Keep it up. Be sure not to forget this Rule. But the School Rule never said this Rule had to be used against your own people, did it? From now on, whenever you see someone you can't stand, go up and beat them senseless!"

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu fell silent at Yun Qi's words. Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Tang San, however, all lit up! They said to Yun Qi in unison:

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Qi!"

The girls once again rolled their eyes with the look of a Killing Intent-filled butcher's knife. Looking at the four men before them, they wondered if they really couldn't even understand Yun Qi's sarcasm!

Yun Qi also looked at them in astonishment. He thought, My aura is clearly supposed to be about forgiveness and friendliness! How did it turn into lowering intelligence?!

It actually wasn't Yun Qi's fault. The Rule simply suited the four of them too well. So when Yun Qi spoke with such righteous conviction, they didn't look any deeper into his words and simply took it as his guidance!
