Wang Dong's Secret to Getting Expelled

Chapter: The Secret to Wang Dong's Expulsion

Hearing Huo Yuhao's call, Wang Dong paused slightly, her tone filled with suspicion: "Brother Huo? You... you actually came back?"

"Wang Dong, why aren't you in school? What are you doing here?"

Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu stepped forward, holding an umbrella over Wang Dong. Wang Dong scrutinized them both with a skeptical gaze, rubbed her eyes, and then suddenly grabbed their shoulders:

"It really is you two! It's been so long, there hasn't been any news, and I thought, I thought you two had already..."

"Wish me some good luck, would you." Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. "I'll tell you about that later. Shouldn't you be at the academy right now?"

"I dropped out!" Wang Dong wiped the soaked bangs on her forehead, flicking away a few droplets of rain, perhaps thinking she looked quite dashing.

"Huh?"

"After you left, that old witch Zhou Yi couldn't pressure Miss Qiu anymore, so she focused all her firepower on me. I couldn't take it."

"And then there's that Dai Huabin. He clearly lost to us head-on, yet he still refuses to accept it. The way he looks at me, it's like he wants to kill me. I've been terrified of him blocking my door every time I go back to the dorm."

"Right before the break, Zhou Yi even deliberately told me in front of the whole class that if we failed the class assessment, it would all be the class monitor's fault."

"Did no school really want you? Why?" Chi Qiu spoke more directly.

"Well, I'm going to take a look at the Sun Moon Empire." Wang Dong nodded slightly.

"No, this isn't a burden at all; on the contrary, I am very grateful to you." Huo Yuhao said. "You've already given me a lot of help. Even if it was because you wanted something from me, it's only natural for me to give back. By saying things like this, you've already conceded a lot for my sake."

"Hmph." Wang Dong let out a frustrated huff through her nose. "Some people at Shrek got so angry at my insults that they snapped. I don't know which part of what I said hit a nerve."

When it reached this point, a certain conjecture suddenly appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind. He said cautiously: "It couldn't be... that Shrek notified other schools to put you on a blacklist, could it?"

"It's all the same! If this place won't keep me, there are plenty of other places that will. With my level, if Shrek won't take me, don't you think other schools would be fighting over me?"

"Yeah." Wang Dong's voice was muffled. "You guys can just study here; I'm going to head somewhere further away."

When he first enrolled, Huo Yuhao had found such talk stirring, but after experiencing so much discrimination and injustice, it was hard for him to empathize now.

"Actually, I won't force you." Chi Qiu's voice suddenly turned a bit colder. "I know a bit about the situation between the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire. If it's inconvenient, we can postpone it."

"That senior also mentioned it in passing, saying the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool system is more complete and magnificent. I couldn't imagine what kind of kingdom that would be, and at the time, the Sun Moon Empire felt too far away. But, if Wang Dong really has a way..."

But since they were interested in Soul Tools, no one could stop them from making a pilgrimage to the Sun Moon Empire, the greatest kingdom of Soul Tools.

"Oh, that's true. They even discussed Miss Qiu's situation; perhaps they felt sorry for this Golden Dragon. As for your matter, they didn't even discuss it at all. Bah! A bunch of blind old fossils."

Within the Douluo Three Kingdoms, propaganda in this regard was extremely scarce, for fear that students of the Douluo Three Kingdoms might develop even the slightest yearning for the Sun Moon Empire.

Huo Yuhao had to admit that he felt a little bit of joy in his heart.

It was just that Wang Dong's method...

Huo Yuhao raised his hand to gently interrupt her. He smiled with understanding: "Qiu'er, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, no matter how far the journey is, I will go back to Star Dou with you when the break comes."

"Yeah!" Speaking of this, Wang Dong suddenly revealed a sly smile. "I submitted my withdrawal application, but they wouldn't approve it. When Director Du wouldn't approve it, I made a scene until I reached Dean Yan. Dean Yan wouldn't allow it either, and he even called Zhou Yi over to ask what was going on. And then..."

So, since there are Shrek students everywhere, it is only natural that many of those responsible for teaching at the academies of the Douluo Three Kingdoms are loyal to Shrek, right?

Perhaps the deans of those royal academies all have deep ties to Shrek!

"You want to go to the Sun Moon Empire?" Chi Qiu seemed a bit hesitant. "I heard it's very far from here. Yuhao, you..."

"That's called being expelled, you know." He remarked with difficulty.

Huo Yuhao was stunned; he really didn't know which academies were within the Sun Moon Empire.

In that case, it would make perfect sense for Wang Dong to be blacklisted.

But it seemed she was quite supportive of it?

"Somewhere further away?" Huo Yuhao became curious. "The Douluo Three Kingdoms have all blacklisted you, so where are you going?"

"I cursed Dean Yan for having a corrupted mind, Director Du for being blind, and Zhou Yi for being fearless just because she has connections to the Soul Tool Department—and then, they signed the papers and kicked me out of the school."

As soon as Huo Yuhao said this, Wang Dong stood there in awkward silence for a moment.

"I even worked hard to cultivate to the third ring for this, but the moment I came back, I heard those teachers saying they were going to expel you two. I couldn't stay for even a second longer."

"That's about right." Huo Yuhao said.

"Wang Dong?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.

"Let's go together." Huo Yuhao said decisively.

Chi Qiu didn't discuss this further, instead bringing up another topic: "The Sun Moon Empire... is the kingdom of Soul Tools."

Wang Dong chimed in at the right moment: "I do have a way. But, which Soul Master academy do you plan to attend? I'll ask around for you."

This wasn't an unfounded guess. When they enrolled, they heard that many high-ranking Soul Masters in the Douluo Three Kingdoms were alumni of Shrek. At the time, the senior giving the speech was very proud, as if he had already foreseen his future of eating the emperor's grain.

"..."

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly: "But, you said you wanted to withdraw, did they let you? Even after Qiu'er was late for so many days, there was still room for discussion. For someone like you, it's even less likely they would let you go."

"Right!" Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao's bright green eyes flickered, and a glimmer of light seemed to ignite within them. "Qiu'er, that's exactly what I was considering. I went to Shrek's Soul Tool Department once. A kind senior introduced me to quite a few things and even let me try my hand at a few simple offensive Soul Tools. I really... am very interested!"

"So why are you still standing here in the rain?"

"And then?"

"While all three of them were there, I gave them a good scolding, and then they signed my withdrawal papers."

Shrek had not given him the honor he deserved, so he no longer cared about the glory of Shrek.

"They didn't blacklist me and Yuhao, did they?" Chi Qiu asked. She seemed to be thinking about something else: "If we go to study elsewhere, we still have a chance."

Huo Yuhao sighed: "So, Qiu'er and I were actually expelled?"

Huo Yuhao felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. He shifted his gaze to his side, where Chi Qiu also wore a look of shock, as if to say, "Did you really do that?"

When Wang Dong said this, she even slammed her fist fiercely against the wall, looking truly agitated. Chi Qiu patted her shoulder in a comforting manner.

When they first enrolled, they had watched many promotional videos, which included countless scenes of Shrek winning various spirit master competitions over the past ten thousand years, where everyone would always shout: "For the glory of Shrek!"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback by her reaction: he had only asked out of curiosity and had no intention of undermining Wang Dong. After all, Wang Dong's level was truly brilliant among her peers, and there was nothing wrong with saying such things... but looking at it now, why did it seem like Wang Dong really had nowhere else to go?

Clearly, Wang Dong had been hit where it hurt. She sat down abruptly on her pack: "Those people are truly devoted to Shrek! Those who know will say Shrek is their alma mater, but those who don't would think Shrek was the sect they were born into."

"Which school can we enroll in given our situation?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Any of them," Wang Dong said. "I've inquired; their best schools only require one spirit ring at age twelve. We are only twelve now, I've reached three rings, Miss Qiu goes without saying, and even if Brother Huo is still at one ring, he has long since met the standard."

"Then let's go to the best school!" Huo Yuhao said immediately.
