Bullying the Weak and Fearing the Strong Is a Noble Virtue Every Shrek Student Must Learn

.

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.

Within Shrek Academy

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

Mo Yan continued to gaze silently at Zhang Lexuan. The pity, sorrow, and faint, almost imperceptible amusement in her eyes became increasingly apparent as their gazes met.

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

She gave a slight bow, wearing a perfectly measured smile as she explained to Zhang Lexuan, "Senior Zhang Lexuan, Mo Yan thinks you and she are very alike. You both have dogs... people you want to protect." Dugu Luo had nearly blurted out the word "dogs," but fortunately, she reacted quickly enough.

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

Mo Yan looked at Dugu Luo strangely. A Luo was nearly being led astray by her. If she returned her to the original body later, would he beat her to death upon seeing A Luo like this?

Upon hearing that, Zhang Lexuan's gaze became even gentler. "It seems Junior Mo Yan has a younger brother or sister too?"

At the mention of a younger brother or sister, Zhang Lexuan thought of Bei Bei, the little follower who had always trailed behind her in the past. But now that her little brother had grown up, he did not even seek out his older sister anymore.

Mo Yan finally spoke, and the moment she did, she delivered a direct blow. "Senior Zhang Lexuan, the feeling you give me is truly so fake."

Dugu Luo: ???

No, Lady Mo Yan, this is the relative of the old man Lord Holy Lord mentioned. Why are you starting already?

"Why do you say that?"

Although Zhang Lexuan did not know why Mo Yan had said such a thing, she was not angered and merely asked curiously.

"A lost lamb that cannot find the path it truly desires is indeed pitiful." This time, Mo Yan did not maintain her aloofness. Instead, she answered with a riddle, bypassed Zhang Lexuan, and headed toward the dormitories.

If it were not for the fact that this woman's relative had made the original body owe her a favor, she would have wanted to lash out long ago. Did she think Mo Yan did not know what she was plotting?

It was just immortal herbs, wasn't it? That old fox Mu En knew force would not work on her, so he could only play soft.

Too bad Mo Yan did not respond to either soft or hard tactics! And after being so sharp-tongued, she was exhausted. She just wanted to go back to the dormitory and sleep.

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

Zhang Lexuan stood there blankly, her mind lost in thought. She knew Mo Yan's words carried a deeper meaning, but at this stage, she could not quite understand them. Or perhaps she did not want to understand.

"Lady Mo Yan, is this really all right?" Dugu Luo edged closer to Mo Yan and lowered her voice. A trace of worry showed on her face as she glanced back at Zhang Lexuan.

"What's not all right about it?" Hearing Dugu Luo's quiet question, Mo Yan did not even turn her head. She simply lifted her foot and continued toward the dormitories, her tone casual yet carrying an unquestionable firmness. "I'm just a little annoyed. Zhang Lexuan reminds me of a female version of Huo Yuhao."

As Mo Yan said this, her brows furrowed slightly, and a complicated emotion flashed through her eyes. It seemed like disgust, yet also regret for Zhang Lexuan.

Why did so many people hate Tang San?

It was not because Tang San had double standards. It was because of Tang San's disgusting face—he was clearly the one who had done it, yet he always insisted on adding some excuse about righteousness.

He was hypocritical to the extreme. Mu En was the same. If he wanted something done, he should do it himself, yet he insisted on having his disciple or some other elder of the Sea God Pavilion do it, then acted as though he had merely tacitly approved it.

Old Huo liked that sort of routine most of all.

There was one more thing. The extermination of Zhang Lexuan's family and the old man's family mentioned by the original body was truly quite interesting. Although the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family had indeed given the order, another party had also intervened.

That was the great Shrek Supervisory Team. It was truly amusing. They killed very few Evil Spirit Masters, and they killed very few great nobles either. The ones they killed the most were the small and mid-level nobles.

Back then, a Dragon Slave captured someone from Shrek's Inner Court and got a very interesting answer: 'They have already embarked upon the path of Evil Spirit Masters and deserve death.'

They merely wanted to avenge their families, yet they were branded with such a crime. It was honestly rather laughable.

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

To put it simply: Shrek's noble virtue of 'bullying the weak and fearing the strong' from ten thousand years ago had been completely mastered by this generation of Shrek Academy students.

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

The old man wore a somewhat faded gray robe. His eyes were half-closed, and his face was deeply lined, yet he comfortably enjoyed the caress of the sunlight. Beside him stood an ancient-looking rattan chair and a cane that glimmered faintly.

In the end, I still ran into the person I least wanted to see. Mo Yan 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.

"Two students!"

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

Seeing that she could not avoid him, Mo Yan halted and lazily fixed her gaze on Mu En. "What is it, old fossil?"

Mu En: .

This girl's mouth truly is extraordinary, Mu En thought helplessly before asking, "What are your names, you two?"

"Mo Yan." Mo Yan politely gave her 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.

"Good names~" Mu En stroked his beard and chuckled. He also introduced himself. "My name is Mu En. Miss Dugu Yan should have told you about me long ago, shouldn't she?"

Since Dugu Luo would not speak, Mu En used Dugu Yan to open the conversation.

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

Mu En: .

I indeed did not introduce my name or title to these two little ones yesterday, but they should at least recognize my voice, right? Even if they can't recognize my voice, their elders should have introduced me, shouldn't they? Don't tell me they weren't curious at all and never asked anything.

Mo Yan: Absolutely!

Anyway, today we're sticking to the three words 'don't know.'
