Although Luo Ye did not stay behind like Tang San to watch Flender's teaching methods, as a transmigrator, he knew exactly what Flender planned to do.
To deepen Shrek's Three Beauties' trust in him, Luo Ye decisively wrote in his diary.
Flender's suppression was about to begin. Just like in his previous life, he had chosen Ning Rongrong as his target, intending to give her a warning.
After all, with no one else knowing Tang San's identity, Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had the strongest known background.
If he could make Ning Rongrong bow her head first, then students like us, with no major backing, naturally would have no way to resist his "teaching."
First, crush the students' pride and make us obey his every word, until we ultimately became Shrek Academy's loyal dogs. That was how Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others taught.
For an academy, Shrek Academy's methods were simply more outrageous than those of some sects.
That was how it had been in his previous life. Ning Rongrong and Oscar were both support-type Soul Masters, yet Flender said their physical strength absolutely could not fall behind either. He ordered them to run twenty laps around the village before noon, or they would not be allowed lunch.
As the pampered young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, cherished by both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong had never suffered much hardship since childhood. So halfway through, she came up with the idea of cutting corners.
But what she did not know was that Flender was extremely underhanded. He had been secretly following her all along, just waiting to catch her cheating. He would use that as an excuse to suppress Ning Rongrong and make her obedient, or else expel her from Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong had passed up Heaven Dou Royal Academy and crossed half the continent to come to Shrek Academy precisely because she wanted to be farther from home and have more freedom.
She had only just enrolled. If she were expelled, she would be utterly humiliated. Even if only to save face, Ning Rongrong could do nothing but endure it.
And from that moment onward, Ning Rongrong would suffer Flender's suppression again and again.
Later, I can find an opportunity to remind Ning Rongrong. Not only can I get closer to her, but I can also make Flender's scheme fall through.
After reading this entry, Ning Rongrong narrowed her long, slender eyes slightly as flames of anger surged within her.
Just as Luo Ye had said, as the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, protected by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, when had she ever suffered such indignity?
Forget a mere Soul Sage—even the Titled Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire would not dare suppress her so casually.
Ning Rongrong did not doubt Luo Ye's words either.
Because she knew that if such a thing really happened and she had to choose, she absolutely would not simply withdraw from Shrek Academy.
Just then, Ning Rongrong indeed heard Flender order her and Oscar to run twenty laps around the village.
Ning Rongrong gave Flender a deep look and thought to herself.
So, Flender, I'll remember this. You want to crush my pride and make me obey your every command? You've got some nerve!
Sooner or later, I'll make you pay the price!
After Flender left with Tang San, Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong, whose expression kept changing, and comforted her.
"You don't need to worry. Although twenty laps will be very hard for support-type Soul Masters like us to complete, I'll stay with you the whole way and help you."
Ning Rongrong glanced at him and said flatly.
"No need to trouble yourself. You should worry about yourself instead."
After saying that, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda floated out. With the boost from her first soul skill, Ning Rongrong's speed increased greatly, and she immediately ran off.
As she passed Luo Ye, Ning Rongrong deliberately slowed her pace.
Seeing this, the corner of Luo Ye's mouth lifted slightly where no one else could notice. Then he spoke to Ning Rongrong.
"Ning Rongrong, I don't think Dean Flender's purpose in making you run laps around the village is so simple. Try your best to finish them. That may help you avoid some trouble."
To avoid revealing anything unusual, Ning Rongrong deliberately looked very surprised and asked.
"Really? Could he possibly follow me the whole time to see whether I actually run all twenty laps?"
Before Luo Ye could answer, Oscar, who had caught up, spoke first.
"The dean can be pretty underhanded. He might really follow us."
I'm talking to Luo Ye. Why are you butting in?
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Oscar and sneered.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
He had not stepped forward to warn her before, but now that Luo Ye had told her, he said this.
Either he sincerely wanted to see her make a fool of herself, or he was working with Flender to suppress her.
No matter the reason, this Oscar fellow was no good.
Sure enough, just as Luo Ye had written in his diary, Shrek Academy was completely rotten. All sorts of dubious people had gathered here.
Oscar was left speechless by her retort. He gave a bitter smile and stiffly explained.
"I just didn't think of it earlier."
Ning Rongrong ignored him completely and looked at Luo Ye with a serious expression.
"Thank you, Luo Ye."
Watching Ning Rongrong leave him behind again and run off alone, Oscar was utterly bewildered.
He had never met Ning Rongrong before. Why did it feel like she was somewhat disgusted with and disdainful of him?
Questioning his entire life, Oscar began running after Ning Rongrong.
After both their figures disappeared from view, Zhu Zhuqing moved closer to Luo Ye and complained softly.
"Luo Ye, why am I starting to feel that Shrek Academy is worse and worse?"
Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.
"First Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, then a dean like Flender. Something about Shrek Academy just feels very wrong. I'm even beginning to wonder whether choosing to come to Shrek Academy with... with Third Brother was really the right decision."
Luo Ye knew perfectly well why Xiao Wu said this, but his pupils still contracted slightly. He deliberately looked very surprised and said probingingly.
"Let's watch a little longer. If Shrek Academy really is that unreliable, perhaps leaving would be a good choice instead."
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Xiao Wu without giving anything away and said.
"No problem. Just as Rongrong said before, with the talent the few of us have, even if we missed enrollment at the other academies, they would still make exceptions and admit us."
Xiao Wu immediately followed up.
"If you decide to leave, please tell me in advance. If I also feel that Shrek Academy does not suit me, I might leave with you."
Luo Ye's gaze lingered on Xiao Wu as he fell silent.
His silence made both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu unconsciously hold their breaths, appearing especially nervous.
