The next morning.
Because of what had happened at Shrek Academy yesterday, new student registration at Shrek had been delayed by a day.
The atmosphere before Shrek Academy's gates was unusually strange. New and old students gathered together, their gazes uniformly fixed on the two young women standing before Du Wilun. Their eyes were filled with confusion, surprise, and even a faint trace of awe.
The news that Dean Yan Shao Zhe had been "taught a lesson" by the two girls' family yesterday had already spread like wildfire throughout Shrek City and the academy.
Though no one knew the exact details, the explosive news alone—that "the dean had been beaten"—was enough to make everyone view the two girls in a new light. Yet what no one had expected was that they had actually come to the academy today to register openly, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
"Are they... here to register?" an older Shrek student asked quietly, disbelief in his voice.
"Looks like it," another older student beside him replied with a frown. "But didn't they just beat up the dean yesterday? How do they still dare come here today?"
"Who knows? Maybe they have such powerful backing that even the academy doesn't dare offend them lightly," another older student guessed.
Though everyone kept their voices low, the discussion still reached Du Wilun's ears. Standing before the two girls, his face carried a trace of awkwardness and helplessness. As the Outer Court's Director of Instruction at Shrek Academy, he had never encountered such a thorny situation.
Hadn't we already agreed on this yesterday?
You could've just entered the academy. Why did you come to the registration area?
"Oh, isn't this Little Du? Is Dean Yan doing well? He hasn't died, has he? If he has, can Dugu Luo and I attend his funeral feast?"
Du Wilun:
Hearing Mo Yan's utterly inhuman words, he did not know how to respond. Why was this girl's mouth so... peculiar?
Dugu Luo naturally understood what Lord Mo Yan wanted to do again. Cause trouble, obviously.
Though Mo Yan was a little lazy, she quite enjoyed finding amusement. Otherwise, after waking up from sleep, she would have nowhere to vent all that excess energy, which was truly troublesome.
Seeing that Du Wilun did not answer her, Mo Yan naturally would not give up so quickly. She continued, "Director Du, Dean Yan isn't really dead, is he?"
"If he really died, then that Super Douluo title of his must have been seriously watered down!"
"..." Unable to listen any longer, Du Wilun hurriedly cut off Mo Yan before she could continue. "Miss Mo Yan, both you and Miss Dugu Luo beside you have already been admitted in advance. Please don't make things difficult for me, a mere director."
"I'm making things difficult for you?" Mo Yan immediately grew displeased. "Wasn't it you who made an unreasonable fuss yesterday and demanded my dog's name? I offered to give it to you, but you refused. You seriously have water in your brain."
Du Wilun:
Damn it. He clearly knew this girl was insulting him, yet he could not get angry.
Du Wilun's silence immediately made Mo Yan lose interest. It seemed that old Mu En had figured out some of her personality.
There was no point wasting more breath, then.
Dugu Luo was quite skilled at reading the room and immediately saw what was going on. She began her performance, reaching out to pull Mo Yan. "Lord Mo Yan, don't be unreasonable. Our family said the matter is over, so let it be over. Don't keep clinging to it."
After speaking to Mo Yan, Dugu Luo looked at Du Wilun and revealed an utterly fake smile. "Director Du, we're truly sorry. Lord Mo Yan holds grudges rather easily. Usually, she is quite lazy and laid-back. Unless certain people have water in their brains, she would not act as abnormally as she has today."
Mo Yan: .
It clearly sounded like an apology, so why did it also sound like she was insulting him?
Though that was what he thought inwardly, Du Wilun still smiled and said, "Hahaha, that would naturally be for the best! How about I have some of the academy's outstanding senior students take you on a proper tour of the academy and the dormitories where you'll be staying?"
At this moment, he was incomparably eager to send these two girls—who were practically ancestral-level troublemakers—away from here as quickly as possible.
He knew full well that if they were allowed to remain here any longer, it would not take long before they repeated their old trick: one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop.
After a few rounds of that, he would be angered half to death!
If that truly happened, an astonishing piece of gossip would surely spread across the entire continent—one of Shrek Academy's mighty Soul Fighting Douluos had actually been enraged to death by two mere Soul Elder-level girls! It would undoubtedly become the most laughable, absurd joke on the Douluo Continent.
Just then, the somewhat lazy-looking yet beautiful Mo Yan suddenly spoke. "Little Du, to be honest, I'm not interested in men at all. So, could you please arrange for only sweet, soft senior students to be our guides?"
The moment those words came out, all the male seniors who had been eagerly looking forward to it instantly wilted like frostbitten eggplants.
Who would have thought that this seemingly carefree, dazzlingly charming girl would so openly declare that she had absolutely no interest in men?
Crack.
The sounds of hearts breaking rang out one after another.
Du Wilun could not be bothered to think much about it. He happened to spot a black-haired, long-haired girl returning from Shrek City ahead and immediately called out, "Student Lexuan."
That black-haired, long-haired girl was Zhang Lexuan, a senior student of Shrek Academy's Inner Court and the unattainable white moonlight in the hearts of countless male Inner Court students.
Hearing Director Du Wilun call for her, Zhang Lexuan walked over curiously. "What is it, Director Du?"
"Take these two new students on a tour of the academy and their dormitories," Du Wilun said hurriedly. "If they have any requests, remember to tell me."
Dean Yan had already given the order yesterday that the academy needed to properly nurture and care for talents like these, making them treat the academy as their second home. So no matter how angry he was today, he could not lose his temper.
He had to endure it like a ninja turtle!
The moment Zhang Lexuan heard this request, she understood what was going on. She gave Mo Yan and Dugu Yan a deep look. When she had risen to cultivate this morning, Mu En had told her about what had happened yesterday.
The two girls before her should be the main characters of yesterday's incident.
"I understand." Zhang Lexuan did not refuse. Mu En had instructed her at the time to find a way to win over these two girls. After all, the force behind them possessed immortal herbs—herbs that could help her and Bei Bei rapidly improve their Soul Power cultivation.
At first, Zhang Lexuan had not cared much about it. But when she heard that the immortal herbs could greatly benefit Bei Bei's martial soul and Soul Power, she could not help but be moved.
Mo Yan had already sensed Zhang Lexuan's unique aura the moment she entered the range of Shrek Academy's gates, relying on her exceptionally sharp perception. That was why she had said those words to Du Wilun. Still, she truly did not like boys other than her original body getting close to her.
