A Small Misunderstanding? They Were Already Sleeping in the Same Room—How Was That Small?

"You can skip the other two tests. Just take them straight to the fourth round."

The admissions teacher gave Dai Mubai a brief instruction.

Dai Mubai wanted to press on about Zhu Zhuqing's identity, but at the admissions teacher's meaningful look, he temporarily held himself back.

After giving Zhu Zhuqing a deep look, he led the group inside.

Tang San wanted to chat with Luo Ye, so he took the initiative to speak.

"When you released your martial soul and soul rings just now, I thought it would be like yesterday again. Those three hundred-thousand-year soul rings of yours really gave me a fright."

Luo Ye smiled and waved a hand.

"That was just an effect simulated by my soul skill. No matter what, there's no way I could have hundred-thousand-year soul rings. At most, they can only be used to fool people."

Dai Mubai's face darkened at those words. He was the greatest victim of that Simulated Soul Skill.

Especially when he remembered kneeling before Luo Ye in front of Tang San and the others yesterday, he nearly went mad with rage.

Dai Mubai snorted, his tone cold and stiff.

"Such petty tricks can indeed only fool people. When we reach the fourth test, you'll understand that before absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are useless."

Luo Ye showed Dai Mubai no mercy and shot back without yielding an inch.

"Really? Then why did you kneel so fast yesterday?"

"You!"

Dai Mubai spun around and glared viciously at Luo Ye, his eyes filled with savage fury as though he wanted to tear him apart alive.

Yet Luo Ye remained utterly calm in the face of his anger. Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside him, glared back at Dai Mubai and snapped.

"What are you trying to do?"

Dai Mubai grew even angrier at that.

If his guess was correct and the girl before him really was Zhu Zhuqing, then his fiancée clearly knew there was bad blood between him and Luo Ye, yet she had chosen Luo Ye's side without hesitation.

How was that any different from cuckolding him right in front of him?

Seeing the atmosphere freeze over, Tang San hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright. Maybe we'll all be classmates in the future. What happened yesterday was just a small misunderstanding. There's no need to make things so tense."

A small misunderstanding?

My fiancée is already living in the same room as him, and you're calling that a small misunderstanding? If your female companion did something like that, could you still shamelessly call it a misunderstanding?

Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot, and he even began to resent Tang San as well.

Fortunately, he still retained some rationality. He knew he was no match for Luo Ye, and besides, he was the one in the wrong in this matter.

He had taken the twin sisters to the Rose Hotel and happened to run into Zhu Zhuqing, exposing all the absurd things he had done in Suotuo City over the years without realizing she was there.

Even if Flender and the Shrek Academy teachers found out, they might not speak up for him.

In any case, they were about to become Shrek Academy students. There would be plenty of chances in the future to win her back. No matter what, he had to take Zhu Zhuqing back.

With that thought, Dai Mubai took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anger and humiliation, and continued leading the way.

Luo Ye glanced at his back, secretly curling his lips into a smile as he began writing in his diary once more.

Although Zhu Qing has already seen Dai Mubai's true face and won't be deceived by him as she was in my previous life, it is precisely because of that that we must guard against Dai Mubai lashing out like a cornered dog.

When Zhu Qing wanted to leave with me in my previous life, Dai Mubai actually tried to kill her outright.

Since I wasn't there at the time, Dai Mubai nearly succeeded. Fortunately, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had a close relationship with Zhu Qing and chose to help her. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Even for the sake of the life-saving favor they showed Zhu Qing in my previous life, I can't stand by and watch the two of them fall into the fire pit that is Shrek Academy. I have to persuade them to leave with us as soon as possible.

Ning Rongrong will be easier. She has only just come into contact with the people from Shrek Academy, but Xiao Wu will be harder to convince. Tang San has deceived her for so long that she still sees him as her brother.

If I rashly tell her that Tang San is an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, she definitely won't believe me. She may even think I'm trying to drive a wedge between them, which would only backfire.

Perhaps I can only wait until we know one another better, then have Zhu Qing help persuade her, before Xiao Wu will be willing to leave with us.

Upon seeing this new diary entry, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong exchanged inconspicuous glances and decided to have a proper talk after the entrance examination ended.

Zhu Zhuqing especially had already begun treating Luo Ye's matters as her own. She felt that she did not need to wait for Luo Ye to speak before testing Xiao Wu's attitude first.

Judging by this, the other girl also possessed a Diary Instance and must already know that Tang San was an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon. It only remained to see what she planned to do next.

As for Ning Rongrong—

Just as Luo Ye had said, Ning Rongrong had not yet formed any bonds with the people of Shrek Academy. After seeing Luo Ye write that Tang San would kill her family and elders, and that even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be destroyed at Tang San's hands, she certainly would not be used and deceived by Tang San as she had been in her previous life.

While Zhu Zhuqing was lost in thought, their group arrived at the fourth stage of Shrek Academy's entrance examination.

Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Wuji, who was snoring loudly in a chair, and spoke.

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought people for the fourth-round test."

"Hm? We finally have people who made it to the fourth round this year? And there are five of them?"

Zhao Wuji rubbed his bleary eyes. When he saw Luo Ye and the other five, he was greatly surprised. Since Shrek Academy had been founded, there had never been so many students reaching the fourth round at once.

Dai Mubai glanced at Luo Ye and the others, then said somewhat unwillingly.

"Not only are there five of them, but they were also exempted from the second and third-round tests."

At those words, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, and he rose directly from his chair.

The Immovable Ming King was not tall, and his appearance was ordinary, but his body was exceptionally brawny. His exaggerated muscles seemed ready to burst through his clothes.

After sizing up the five of them, Zhao Wuji nodded with a smile.

"All five are above level twenty-five. Good, very good. Looks like there are quite a few little monsters this year."

"Next, as long as you pass my test, you'll officially become members of Shrek Academy. However, my test won't be so easy to pass."

"Practical combat experience is something every soul master must possess. That is the ability I will be testing."

"My name is Zhao Wuji. I'll give you one incense stick's worth of time to get acquainted with one another. Once the incense burns out, the test will officially begin."
