The two stood at the back of the line, watching the boys and girls ahead get eliminated one after another. Their interest was piqued, especially when the elderly man in charge of testing revealed his Spirit Rings. Xiao Wu immediately grew excited.
She whispered into Tang San's ear:
"This academy looks really interesting, especially what that teacher said—only monsters, no ordinary people. That's so cool."
Tang San smiled faintly and said softly:
"You don't doubt the teacher's advice now, do you? This Shrek Academy is anything but ordinary."
By then, they had reached the front of the line and were not far from Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.
Since they were acquainted, and Dai Mubai also wanted to build a closer relationship with Xiao Wu, a trace of a smile appeared on his cold face. He nodded at them, then pointed at Li Yusong and spread his hands in a helpless gesture.
He was clearly telling them that passing registration would depend on their own efforts; there was nothing he could do to help.
As they communicated through their eyes, Tang San suddenly noticed Dai Mubai looking into the distance with an odd expression.
Following his gaze, Tang San saw the young man they had encountered in the shop yesterday. However, unlike before, the young man was accompanied by a girl this time.
The girl had a curvaceous, exceptionally good figure, but her expression was indifferent, as though nothing interested her.
"Isn't that the shady merchant we met yesterday?"
Xiao Wu curled her lips. She had already been displeased with Oscar, and seeing him with a girl whose looks were no worse than her own only intensified that displeasure.
"A shady merchant?"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance but said nothing. Still, the coldness in their eyes deepened.
