What a nice invitation to go inside and reminisce!

Would they even be able to come back out after going in?

That old fox Mu En's scheme was practically about to burst all the way to his true body.

Dugu Yan was no brainless, big-breasted woman. Hearing those words, she had already understood what the owner of that voice was plotting.

Heh, recruitment!

They had shut her and her daughter out before, claiming that possessing such an uncontrollable Martial Soul was enough to endanger all the teachers and students in the academy. In the end, they had piled on a bunch of lousy excuses to bar them from entry.

And now they were inviting her to bring her daughter into the academy to reminisce? It was disgusting enough to make her want to vomit!

By then, Du Wilun had already dispersed the new students and Shrek Academy students. He came before Xuan Zi, his expression complicated as he stared at the three figures ahead.

Who would have thought that this female Titled Douluo before them was actually a descendant of the Dugu family whom he and the dean had once turned away? What irony!

At some point, Xuan Zi had taken out a chicken leg and begun gnawing on it as he waited for Mu En's orders.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior, but I only brought them here today to enroll. However, it seems there is no need for that anymore." Dugu Yan rejected Mu En's goodwill. "So much for Shrek Academy treating all equally and accepting all without discrimination. It seems that was all false. We will not disturb you any further, Senior."

Dugu Yan's tone was calm yet resolute, carrying a faint sense of detachment. As her words fell, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for an instant.

Mu En's voice did not sound again. He seemed surprised by Dugu Yan's refusal, or perhaps he was considering something.

Mo Yan and Dugu Luo stood behind Dugu Yan, silently watching her.

There was a trace of worry in Dugu Luo's eyes, while Mo Yan looked utterly unconcerned, as if everything had gone exactly as she expected.

Just as the three were about to leave, Mu En's voice rang out again. "Our academy was indeed at fault first, but shouldn't you discipline that brown-haired little girl behind you?"

Mu En ultimately chose to yield. He absolutely could not let such talents slip away, but he could not give in too much either. Otherwise, certain people would push their luck.

When Dugu Yan heard Mu En speak again, her steps paused slightly. She turned around and looked calmly toward Shrek Academy, a faint chill in her voice. "Senior, what do you mean by that?"

Mu En's voice remained aged and steady, but this time it carried a subtle pressure. "Shrek Academy was indeed in the wrong, but you should also understand that the academy has its rules. That brown-haired little girl behind you caused quite a commotion within the academy just now. If she simply leaves like this, I'm afraid that would be inappropriate."

Dugu Yan's brows furrowed slightly at that. She knew Mu En was referring to Lady Mo Yan. In order to vent her anger for Dugu Yan and her daughter, Lady Mo Yan's words had indeed caused a stir within Shrek Academy. Though it had not gone too far, it was enough to draw the attention of certain people.

Mo Yan had thought there would be no need for her signature act, yet now it seemed she had to take the stage again.

"Senior, aren't your words a bit harsh?" Mo Yan spoke up. "I merely showed off my Tang San Dog, and that guy got angry and said he wanted to steal my dog's name. Then when I gave it to him, he wasn't happy about it. What do you mean by pressing us so aggressively now?"

Du Wilun:

Xuan Zi: ???

Mu En:.

Within the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En observed the changes in Mo Yan's expression. After watching for a while and finding nothing, an unpleasant thought surfaced in his heart. Could this little girl not know who Ancestor Tang San is?

Once that thought appeared, Mu En found it extremely plausible.

Even if she was doing it deliberately, so what? As long as everyone had a way to save face, that was enough!

"Little girl, do you not know who Ancestor Tang San of our academy is?" Having organized his words, Mu En asked through voice transmission.

"Who is Ancestor Tang San?" Mo Yan was clever enough to know that this old fox Mu En was giving everyone a way out, but she wanted to vent Dugu mother and daughter's anger. Thus, she put on an extremely innocent expression. "What kind of parents are so immoral that they would name their child Tang San?"

"They named their child so carelessly. At a glance, you can tell the parents weren't much better."

"A name fit for a dog being used on a person is truly immoral. Are there really people on this continent named Tang San?"

"Oh~ I get it!" Mo Yan changed her expression with masterful ease. "No wonder you're all so angry. You think my dog being named Tang San Dog is insulting your ancestor. Then I'm truly sorry."

"But my dog is named Tang San Dog. Could a dog's name not be Tang San?"

"Your academy is seriously pathetic!"

Mo Yan's words were like a heavy hammer striking Mu En's heart. Her tone was innocent and harmless, as though she truly knew nothing about the name "Tang San," yet every sentence was barbed and stabbed straight into Shrek Academy's sore spots.

Especially that final line—"my dog is named Tang San Dog"—which instantly turned Mu En's face within the Sea God Pavilion livid.

He had merely wanted to give them a way out, but this girl had immediately pushed her luck and gone all out.

Du Wilun, standing beside Xuan Zi, was nearly angered into vomiting blood. If Tang San's fans heard Mo Yan's words, they would probably vomit blood and die on the spot.

Xuan Zi's expression was also extremely ugly as he ate his chicken leg. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to slap Mo Yan's mouth to pieces. To insult Ancestor Tang San and his parents like this was simply courting death!

Dugu Yan and Dugu Luo suppressed the laughter in their hearts. Dugu Yan hurriedly spoke. "My Lady Mo Yan may have stayed within her family for too long and does not know who Ancestor Tang San is. I ask that you please be lenient with her, Senior."

"It is of no matter." Mu En ultimately chose to forgive Mo Yan. After all, he truly could not bear to drive such a genius away.

As for that so-called family, as long as he spoke persuasively and showered them with warm, springlike care from the academy, he refused to believe he could not "dig" them out of their family's embrace and into the academy!

"Little Du, resume enrollment tomorrow. You know how to handle the rest, yes?" Mu En transmitted his voice to Du Wilun, telling him to silence those new students. Then he transmitted his voice to the three again. "Children speak without restraint. As elders of Shrek Academy, we naturally will not be petty."

"Are you willing to join Shrek Academy?"

Note that Mu En said "join," not "come study at the academy."

"We came here to study. If that is not possible, we will leave immediately and will not cause Shrek Academy any further trouble." This time, Mo Yan finally stepped forward and answered calmly, showing none of her earlier crazed demeanor.

At that moment, Mu En also understood who the core of the three was. It was this brown-haired girl. How interesting.

It seemed Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolution was likely connected to the family behind this girl. Then could the Martial Souls of his great-grandson and disciple's grandson also... Forget it. There was no rush.

Once their bond had formed, he could slowly dig deeper.

Right now, his top priority was to coax—no, trick—these two girls into joining the academy!

"Yes, yes, this old man misspoke. The academy is for learning." Mu En immediately corrected himself. "Would you two be willing to study at Shrek Academy?"

Mo Yan said, "Why else would we come here? To beat you up?"

Mu En: ...

Thank you, handsome guys and beautiful ladies, for your votes and gifts. I'm truly very grateful—thank you all!
