"It's already quite late. You should both be careful," Wu Changkong said with a smile.
Tang Wulin happily ran over to Yun Mu with his number plate. "Brother, I ordered lots and lots of delicious food. Thank you, Uncle, for letting us share your table."
Tang Wulin noticed Wu Changkong eating beside them and gratefully bowed to him.
"No need. Sit down. My name is Wu Changkong. I'm a teacher at Eastsea Academy," Wu Changkong said.
"H-hello, Teacher. My name is Tang Wulin." After taking his seat, Wulin introduced himself to the teacher as well.
"Tang Yunmu. Hello, Teacher Wu." Yun Mu slowly took out a letter from his Soul Tool Storage Ring.
Wu Changkong had initially wanted to return it and say that he did not accept bribes, but in that instant, he saw the emblem of Shrek Academy.
"Whose letter is this?" Wu Changkong asked softly.
"Shen Yi's," Yun Mu said.
Wu Changkong's expression visibly relaxed, but a flicker of disappointment passed through his eyes.
Wu Changkong said nothing. He probably assumed the two of them were children of Teacher Shen's friends. After all, he had not had much contact with his former Shrek Academy classmates in a long time.
"It's getting late. Finish eating, head back, and get some proper rest. Report in tomorrow," Wu Changkong said, then packed up the remaining fish and left.
"Brother, don't you think that teacher just now was so cool?" Tang Wulin said excitedly.
Yun Mu looked at Tang Wulin and sighed inwardly. For some reason, he remembered how, when he had read the novel, Wu Changkong had said Tang Wulin was his son.
Tang Wulin really did look like Wu Changkong's child. Back when he read the comic, he had always thought about how great it would be if Tang Wulin were Wu Changkong's son.
Yun Mu smiled. "He should be our teacher in the future."
"Coming through! Your fish is ready." A chubby waiter carried over a huge tray of fish and set it on their table.
"Can you two little ones finish all this fish?" Seeing only two children at the table, the waiter could not help asking.
"Don't worry, Uncle. We can definitely finish it," Tang Wulin said, patting his belly.
"We can finish it. If we can't, we can pack the rest to take away," Yun Mu said with a smile.
"Alright, then I won't disturb your meal." After setting down the dishes, the waiter took away the tray.
Tang Wulin ate incredibly quickly, yet he somehow did not look like he was wolfing it down.
Yun Mu picked a piece of meat from each fish and ate slowly.
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin rapidly devoured fish after fish with little "ah-woo" sounds.
Yun Mu slowly chewed his food with a small bowl in hand, the two of them forming a stark contrast.
Before long, Yun Mu was full. He sat quietly beside Tang Wulin and watched him eat. He had to admit, watching Tang Wulin eat really did stimulate one's appetite.
The next morning.
The two got up early, returned their room cards, and headed to Eastsea Academy's reception desk.
"Hello, Sister. My name is Tang Wulin, and this is my brother, Yun Mu. We're here to report in," Tang Wulin said politely.
Liu Yuxin was stunned. This family was far too good-looking, wasn't it?
They looked about twelve years old, but new students should only be nine.
"Um, hello. I'm Liu Yuxin, a first-year student at Eastsea Academy's Advanced Academy. I'm in charge of receiving new students this time, so I'm your senior. First, fill out these forms, and also show me the recommendation letters from your junior academy." As Liu Yuxin spoke, she secretly sized up Yun Mu.
"Alright, thank you." Yun Mu politely accepted the two forms before him.
After taking the papers and filling out the forms with Tang Wulin nearby, they handed both their recommendation letters and forms to Liu Yuxin.
"Tang Wulin, nine years old, graduate of Hongshan Junior Academy in Aolai City, Level 23 Plant System Soul Master, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass?" Liu Yuxin could not help reading it aloud. By the end, she sounded somewhat incredulous.
Blue Silver Grass? Could Blue Silver Grass really cultivate this quickly?
Unless his Martial Soul was not Blue Silver Grass, but the Blue Silver King. As for the Blue Silver Emperor, she did not even dare imagine it.
But when she saw Yun Mu's form, she found it even harder to believe. "Nine years old, Level 35?"
At those words, several boys from the Advanced Academy gathered around.
"My god, with that age and cultivation level, getting into Shrek Academy shouldn't be a problem, right?" a senior student remarked.
"Junior Brother, Junior Brother, this senior is called Zhang Yanen. Please take care of me in the future," one senior student said, poking his head over.
The senior students all introduced themselves in turn, hoping this junior brother would remember their names.
"These are your Identity Metal Plates. Be sure to keep them safe; they are your proof for entering and leaving the academy. Once you enter the academy, you'll need to report in again and collect your supplies. Your senior sister has to head to the station entrance in a while. See you later." Liu Yuxin said this.
At the same time, she stamped their academy recommendation letters and returned them.
By sheer coincidence, just as the two of them entered the academy and were feeling completely lost, they ran into Wu Changkong.
Wu Changkong had clearly spotted them as well. Remembering the contents of the letter, he quickly walked toward them.
"I'll take you two to the Academic Affairs Office. Come, let me see your forms," Wu Changkong said blandly.
Wu Changkong took their forms and led them to the Academic Affairs Office to handle their enrollment procedures.
However, while they were on the way, he still glanced at the forms.
When he saw the levels listed on them, he finally understood why Shen Yi had hoped he would help look after these two children.
These Two Geniuses absolutely could not be handed over to mediocrities. Otherwise, it would be a waste of their talent.
It was not that he looked down on the academy's Other Teachers. It was simply that the Other Teachers really had nothing impressive about them.
When they arrived at the Academic Affairs Office, they saw a rather stern Middle-aged Man sitting there.
"Put these two students in my class," Wu Changkong said directly.
"Teacher Wu, isn't that against the rules?" Director Long said.
"Hm?" Wu Changkong stared at Director Long and snorted.
Director Long immediately caved and assigned them to Wu Changkong's class.
As for their levels and such, he had not even had time to look at them yet.
After they placed their Recommendation Letter Forms on Director Long's desk, they each received two sets of School Uniforms and a dormitory key, then headed toward their assigned dormitories.
Since they had been assigned to Wu Changkong's class, they were in Class Five, and naturally, they were assigned to Class Five's dormitory.
However, Yun Mu and Tang Wulin's rooms were separate; they were not in the same dorm room.
Yun Mu took his key and headed toward his room, while Tang Wulin, just as in the original story, was assigned Room 205.
Yun Mu's was Room 206.
At that moment, when Director Long in the office saw the forms, he was nearly dumbfounded.
No wonder that guy Wu Changkong had been so eager to claim them.
