Mu En's Tarnished Reputation

As he spoke, Chen Ping removed the only Century Soul Ring he had.

He looked as though he was prepared to fight them to the bitter end and see who would emerge victorious.

"You—you're only a One Ring Soul Master?"

Wu Feng felt even worse now.

No way. Was she just beaten up by a One Ring Soul Master?

That couldn't be right. This guy's physical abilities, whether strength or speed—

Even without the Young Master's Buffing Light, they were absolutely at the level of a Soul Grandmaster!

"What's wrong? Looking down on One Ring Soul Masters?"

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows. "Either come with me and open your eyes to see what's going on with the dormitory ahead, or we can keep fighting. The Image Retaining Pearl at my waist is still recording. Once we're done, regardless of who wins or loses, neither of you will escape punishment."

As he spoke, Chen Ping put on the wicked look of a villain who clearly intended to settle this matter to the end. The two girls' faces instantly went pale with fright.

What the three of them didn't know was that, not far away, an old man with a white beard was cheerfully observing them with his Spiritual Power.

"Could she Dragonify at Rank 20? This Red Dragon Martial Soul really does have its own unique qualities."

"Another child from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Not bad."

"Ah, this kid is truly shameless. He stole someone's buff twice, both times stepping over someone's head to do it. He's practically smoking with wickedness."

"What do you mean, the leaders of Shrek Academy are all useless, so Shrek has mixed-gender dormitories?"

"What the hell do you mean by 'if you have the ability, beat up the white-bearded old man lying at the entrance of the Dormitory Building too'?"

Immediately afterward, the white-bearded old man sprang to his feet, nearly throwing out his old waist, which had gone unused for years.

No, I'm over two hundred years old. How can I still be called an Old Pervert?

A few minutes later, when they saw male and female students coming and going in front of the Dormitory Building in the distance, Wu Feng and Ning Tian's faces flushed bright red.

They really had misunderstood him, and had nearly beaten him up!

No, they had already beaten him up.

It was only because Chen Ping had been taking pills and eating heartily these past two months, causing his physical abilities to shoot up, that these two girls hadn't succeeded.

At this moment, Chen Ping was enthusiastically helping them look up the disciplinary regulations they had violated today.

"First, you chose to engage in Soul Fighting somewhere other than the Soul Fighting Zone, and you ambushed your opponent."

"Then there's the matter of ganging up on someone, as well as attacking a Soul Master one realm below your own."

"Four issues stacked together means four punishments. Congratulations, you've probably set the record for receiving four punishments the fastest since Shrek was founded."

As he spoke, Chen Ping gave the two girls a thumbs-up.

For a moment, both Ning Tian and Wu Feng wilted like eggplants hit by frost.

In the end, Ning Tian stepped forward first. "I-I'm sorry. This was all my fault. I failed to manage my guard properly."

"If necessary—"

Before Ning Tian could finish, Wu Feng grabbed her and hurriedly said, "I was the one who attacked you. This has nothing to do with our Young Master."

"If someone must be punished, punish me alone."

Seeing the two of them rushing to take responsibility one after another, some of the anger in Chen Ping's chest subsided.

"First, tell me which bastard told you that Shrek Academy had a girls' dormitory?"

Chen Ping sighed and asked the two girls.

Ning Tian scratched her head awkwardly. "The student residences for disciples of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School are separated by gender, so I assumed Shrek's dormitories would be the same."

"Before Wu Feng and I came, I also contacted Senior Bei Bei."

Chen Ping raised an eyebrow. So Senior Bei Bei was the one who told them?

"Senior Bei Bei recommended someone familiar with Senior Chen to us. We ordered a dish from him and arranged to meet at the entrance of the Girls' Dormitory."

"That was why we thought the dormitory ahead of us was a Girls' Dormitory, and assumed you were following us..."

At this point, Ning Tian felt her face burning fiercely.

But when she raised her head and cautiously looked at Chen Ping's reaction, she found that the expression on his face was just as awkward as hers.

In fact, he looked even more embarrassed than she did.

Silently, Chen Ping took the Soul Guidance Communicator hanging at his waist and infused it with Soul Power before pressing the redial button.

The next moment, the Soul Guidance Communicator at Ning Tian's waist rang right after it.

For a moment, the three of them stared at one another, speechless.

The mystery was solved.

Chen Ping took a deep breath. So the root of this whole mess was actually me?

"This jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall costs six hundred Gold Soul Coins per jar for others, but I'll charge you one thousand. We'll consider the matter settled. Do you two have any objections?"

Ning Tian and Wu Feng first nodded vigorously like chicks pecking at grain, then realized something was wrong and shook their heads like two rattles.

In the end, Wu Feng pulled out a pouch containing one thousand Gold Soul Coins without another word, directly demonstrating their sincere attitude toward apologizing.

Whenever Ning Tian bought anything in the past, Wu Feng had also been the one to pay.

Inside her Storage Soul Guidance Device, she had several sets of every denomination from one Gold Soul Coin to One Hundred Thousand Gold Soul Coins, mainly so she could immediately take out the right amount to settle the bill.

To be honest, if this matter had had nothing to do with him, Chen Ping definitely wouldn't have let it go so easily.

But there was no helping it. Although the idea that Shrek had a Girls' Dormitory had been Ning Tian's own wild assumption—

When he answered the communicator and heard that, he had not only failed to deny it, but had even said that he knew where to deliver the order.

That had further caused the two girls to subconsciously believe that Shrek truly had a separate Girls' Dormitory rather than mixed-gender housing.

So when this misunderstanding had ultimately occurred, it couldn't be said to have nothing to do with him.

Considering that the two girls came from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, he decided to let it go.

He could always squeeze a little more money out of them in the future.

Customers this generous were hard to find even across the entire Douluo Continent.

A person might refuse to bow to five pecks of rice, but five tons of rice were worth some consideration.

After tossing the Image Retaining Pearl directly to Ning Tian, Chen Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly erased the recording inside.

She had collected four punishments before the start of school and set Shrek's record for the fastest four punishments. She didn't even dare imagine how her mother would scold her after she returned home.

This was truly humiliating.

Chen Ping caught the Image Retaining Pearl Ning Tian tossed back and hung it around his waist again.

"This matter is settled for now, but I'm letting it go because of Bei Bei."

As the saying went, one person's words were private, while two people's words were public. Many things couldn't be explained clearly with only one mouth.

That was why Chen Ping had developed the habit of leaving evidence everywhere since his previous life.

See? It had come in handy now.

After all, this business had been introduced by Bei Bei. If things became too ugly, Bei Bei would also find it difficult to handle.

That was the real reason Chen Ping hadn't continued pressing the matter. How could one do business while always acting solely according to one's temper?

"Then we'll be going now, Senior. After school starts, I'll invite Big Brother Bei Bei, and we can get together again."

Ning Tian scratched her flushed cheek with her fair fingers, hurriedly pulling Wu Feng away. As they left, she even glared resentfully at Wu Feng.

The meaning was obvious: See what happens when you become suspicious of everything? You caused another misunderstanding.

However, at that moment, both Ning Tian and Wu Feng felt a spark of curiosity rise in their hearts.

Shrek actually has a One Ring senior?

Although the other party's physical abilities clearly didn't resemble those of a One Ring Soul Master, how exactly had a One Ring Soul Master managed to remain at Shrek Academy?
