Kong and Dugu Yan stood in a tree not far away, watching Ning Rongrong and the others.

With their Soul Power Levels, they could still hear what Ning Rongrong and the others were saying from this distance.

The corner of Kong's eye twitched, his brows furrowing as his gaze filled with confusion. Ning Rongrong, the most important support of the protagonist group, had fallen out with them just like that?

Not only had she fallen out with the protagonist group, but she was also planning to withdraw from Shrek Academy?

"I never thought this Little Devil Girl would have such a brain."

Dugu Yan murmured.

She had never expected Ning Rongrong to be so sharp. In just one day, she had seen through Shrek Academy's true nature.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ever became enemies with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they would have to watch out for her!

"After all, she's Ning Fengzhi's daughter. Once she saw certain things clearly, she'd be truly stupid if she stayed here."

In the original story, Ning Rongrong had never encountered a monster like Kong, which was why Flender's crooked reasoning had led her into a pit.

Now that Ning Rongrong had met a monster like Kong, her intelligence had instantly returned.

The dignified young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had actually been fooled by Flender. Ning Rongrong in the original story had been just like a naive fool who had never seen the world...

Dugu Yan had not seen through Shrek Academy's true nature at first either. Only after Kong pointed it out had she understood what Shrek Academy truly was.

They recruited geniuses. If you succeeded, it was Shrek Academy's achievement. If you failed to become somebody, then don't tell anyone outside that you were a student of Shrek Academy.

"Seeing this scene made the trip worthwhile!"

Kong sighed.

The story had already become somewhat different. He had no idea what kind of shock the butterfly's wings would bring to Douluo Continent.

Since Ning Rongrong had decided to leave Shrek Academy, she would not stay any longer. Once she made up her mind, even Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong—those three big shots—would not be able to pull her back.

After returning to her dormitory and packing up briefly, Ning Rongrong headed alone toward Suotuo City. Of course, the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lurking in the shadows followed her as well.

After watching Ning Rongrong leave, Flender, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others sank into deathly silence.

On the first day of school, a student had voluntarily dropped out. Since Shrek Academy had been founded, this was the first time such a thing had happened. Moreover, before leaving, she had fiercely humiliated Shrek Academy and its headmaster!

Yet every word she said had been factual. Flender and the others could not find any fault with it at all and could only refute her with nonsense and wild rambling.

"Tea... Teacher..."

Seeing Flender's dark expression, Ma Hongjun did not know how to comfort him.

"I'm fine. Shrek Academy is indeed poor. We have no cultivation resources and no simulated training grounds, but our teaching is absolutely among the finest on Douluo Continent!"

Flender feared that if he did not say something, these newly arrived little brats would be persuaded to drop out by Ning Rongrong's words.

Though it was all true, as long as he refused to admit it, couldn't he just deceive himself?

"Everyone, go back and rest for today. Tomorrow, I'll take you to your first class."

After saying that, Flender instantly possessed his martial soul and vanished.

How could he possibly be in the mood to take Tang San and the others to the Soul Arena today?

With Ning Rongrong tearing open his wounds, all he wanted now was some peace and quiet by himself.

"Teacher, my... my evil fire..."

Ma Hongjun was dumbfounded. Flender had just left—what was he supposed to do about his evil fire?

Hadn't they agreed to take him to that kind of place?

"Teacher's gone. Boss Dai, do you want to go?"

Ma Hongjun glanced at Dai Mubai and spoke directly, having completely forgotten Dai Mubai's warning from earlier that day.

Sure enough, Dai Mubai had been lost in thought, but upon hearing this, his face darkened. He subconsciously looked toward Zhu Zhuqing.

"Hmph..."

Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly and ignored him completely before walking toward the dormitory.

She was thinking about Ning Rongrong's words. At Shrek Academy, could they really only be left to fend for themselves?

No cultivation resources, no simulated training grounds...

All she wanted now was to become stronger, then escape her doomed fate and live on. An academy like this could not possibly offer her any help.

With that thought, Zhu Zhuqing made up her mind.

She had known from the moment she arrived in Suotuo City that Dai Mubai could not be relied upon. Shrek Academy was useless as well.

"Looks like I have to leave too."

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing's retreating back, and fury surged through him!

He had merely had a few more women outside. Did she have to give him such an attitude?

Besides, he had not gone out these past two days. He had kept himself pure and chaste.

Yet Zhu Zhuqing's attitude was still the same!

How could Dai Mubai not be angry?

"Come on, Fatty, let's go!"

Dai Mubai watched Zhu Zhuqing's retreating figure and deliberately said it loudly.

He had thought Zhu Zhuqing would turn around, but her figure only grew farther away. She showed no sign of looking back, nor did she pause.

Dai Mubai: "..."

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun timidly asked, "Boss Dai, did I say something wrong?"

Dai Mubai gave Ma Hongjun a long, deep look. With teammates like this, how could he ever hope to accomplish anything great?

"It has nothing to do with you. Let's go. I wasn't joking with you."

As he spoke, Dai Mubai seemed to remember something. He paused, looked toward Tang San, and continued, "Tang San, do you want to come too? It's on me today!"

Tang San's mouth twitched. He instinctively glanced at Xiao Wu and, seeing no expression on her face, finally let out a breath of relief.

Just as he was about to refuse, Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Third Brother, what are you going to do? Can I come too?"

"Uh..."

The three fell silent. It was not as though Xiao Wu could not come along, but how could Tang San possibly let her follow them to a place like that?

"No!"

Tang San directly rejected the suggestion. He waved at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. "You two go ahead. Xiao Wu and I won't be going."

Dai Mubai nodded. He had originally wanted to drag Tang San into it, but Xiao Wu clearly did not understand at all. What a pity.

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing, who had returned to the dormitory, silently passed by them once more and headed out of Shrek Academy.

The sight left Dai Mubai utterly shocked!

Could Zhu Zhuqing be planning to leave Shrek Academy?

Ning Rongrong had just left, and now Zhu Zhuqing was choosing to leave as well. It was hardly surprising; anyone with eyes could see that Ning Rongrong had made sense.

How could someone as determined to grow stronger as Zhu Zhuqing continue staying at Shrek Academy?

Not only was she leaving, she was leaving overnight...

"Zhu Zhuqing!"

Just as Dai Mubai was about to chase after her, Ma Hongjun grabbed him.

"Boss Dai, did you forget what the teacher said? You absolutely can't force—"

"Zhu Zhuqing doesn't even pay attention to you. There's no use clinging to her like this!"

"You fucking dead fatso, she's my fiancée!"
