The three-day period has arrived.
As promised, Jing Hongchen took eleven members of Shrek and the team leader Fan Yu to the agreed place.
Along the way, Jing Hongchen barely spoke.
He just silently drove his Flight Soul Guidance Device and flew ahead.
The face that always wore a smile on weekdays had no expression at the moment, and no trace of happiness or anger could be seen.
Behind him are the entourage of the Mingde Hall, as well as the eleven teachers and students of Shrek who were tortured into human form.
Some of them were seriously injured and needed help to stand still.
Although some injuries were minor, the look of humiliation on their faces was more dazzling than the scars.
A few hours later.
Under the precise positioning of Jing Hongchen, they arrived at the exchange location that both parties had already determined.
It was a small city located on the border between the two countries. In the wilderness outside the city, people from both sides had been waiting for a long time.
Jing Hongchen slowly slid down with everyone.
On the other side, people from the Shrek Academy have arrived long ago.
The person who came to complete the exchange was still Shrek Academy Martial Soul, the dean of the department, Yan Shaozhe.
Also coming with Yan Shaozhe, Dean Shrek Academy Soul Tool Department, Xian Lin'er.
The two deans actually came together, which shows how much they value this exchange.
However, these two were the ones who came.
The others are the exchange students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy this time.
Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and other students traveling with them.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen don't seem to have changed much.
They only started to communicate and learn after they became adults, and the two years did not leave many marks on their faces.
Just.
At this moment, their eyes were searching everywhere, as if they were looking for those former "classmates".
"Hall Master Hongchen, we meet again." Yan Shaozhe walked forward with a smile.
Although he was speaking to Jing Hongchen, his eyes fell on Huo Yuhao unconsciously.
When he found that Huo Yuhao's breath was weak and there seemed to be some signs of unhealed wounds under his clothes, Yan Shaozhe's face changed instantly.
He glanced at the other ten people, and found that everyone was more or less injured!
Yan Shaozhe was instantly furious!
He raised his head suddenly and pointed at Jing Hongchen, his voice full of anger:
"Hall Master Hongchen!
"Your grandchildren were brought to us intact!"
"But you took our students..."
He was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his fingers were trembling.
Jing Hongchen faced Yan Shaozhe's accusations, but his face still showed a smile.
That smile was calm and calm.
"Dean Yan, please be patient." He spoke slowly.
"I, Jing Hongchen, have always been open-minded in my work. Right and wrong, and aboveboard."
He paused, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked straight at Huo Yuhao behind him.
"If your students had not made mistakes, I would not have behaved like this."
He withdrew his gaze, looked at Yan Shaozhe again, and said word by word:
"What did your student do? You should go back and ask him!"
Suddenly being questioned by Jing Hongchen, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er immediately looked at each other.
They thought this was a one-sided bullying and Jing Hongchen's way of retaliating against Shrek.
But looking at Jing Hongchen's confident look at this moment, it is clearly...
Could it be that there really is something else hidden?
The two looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
They could only temporarily suppress the anger in their hearts and complete the exchange first.
Both sides stepped forward to exchange students.
The eleven teachers and students at Shrek slowly walked toward Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er.
The exchange students on the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy's side will go to Jing Hongchen.
When Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen passed by Huo Yuhao, they looked at him with complicated eyes.
But they didn't say anything, they just walked over silently.
The exchange is completed.
Even though there are thousands of questions in their hearts, even though both sides are holding back their anger.
But the two old foxes, Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen, still walked forward with smiles on their faces and shook hands to make peace.
If you don't know, you might think they are old friends for many years.
Jing Hongchen spoke slowly, with a smile on his face:
"Dean Yan."
"I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style."
Yan Shaozhe also forced out a smile and said politely:
"Hall Master Hongchen is overly praised."
"Your grandchildren study hard and make great progress, and I am very satisfied with them."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if the tense situation just now had never happened.
But after laughing, Jing Hongchen put away his smile.
"Farewell!"
He seemed unwilling to stay any longer.
After saying hello to the two deans Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er.
Then he led his students and released Flight Soul Guidance Device.
In this city, they flew up and flew straight into the sky, not afraid of attracting attention.
Yan Shaozhe kept watching them disappear into the distant sky, and then looked back.
He turned around.
With a smile on his face, he glanced at the students who had completed the exchange study this week:
"Kids, welcome home."
However--
No one responded to him.
The eleven teachers and students still looked haggard at this moment, their eyes were empty, and they had no enthusiasm at all to go home.
Yan Shaozhe's smile froze.
He took several students and Fan Yu, all the way back to Shrek.
On the way, he tried to ask them why they were so badly hurt.
But no matter how he asked, these students refused to speak.
They gritted their teeth and refused to say anything.
On the contrary, whenever asked.
They would lower their heads with a look of shame on their faces, as if they were remembering some unbearable past event.
Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er looked at each other, even more confused.
Finally, Yan Shaozhe couldn't bear it anymore.
He called Fan Yu aside and asked in a deep voice, "Fan Yu, what happened?"
"Tell me the truth!"
Fan Yu opened his mouth and closed it again.
His face was full of unspeakable embarrassment.
After a while, he reluctantly told what happened.
He told how Huo Yuhao was arrested and how a large number of Rare Metal and Soul Tool drawings were found.
How they were found to have stolen Mingde Hall's secrets, how eleven of them were stripped naked and paraded through the streets.
How to be reviled by thousands of people, how to be imprisoned and tortured...
Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er's eyes widened when they heard it halfway.
When they heard the end, their faces had become extremely ugly.
They looked at each other with a complicated light in their eyes.
The previous atmosphere of wanting to call an army to hold him accountable has long since dissipated.
Instead, there was a deep... guilt and shame.
Yes.
If something like this happened to Shrek, that thief would definitely be cut to pieces.
It's lucky that Jing Hongchen didn't kill them.
What shame do they have to question others?
Along the way, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er looked livid and never said a word again.
The eleven teachers and students also followed them silently, like a funeral procession.
In the past two years, Huo Yuhao has improved his skills while learning from Soul Tool.
But those Soul Tool made by hand from the Mingde Hall.
All the accumulated Rare Metal and drawings were confiscated, leaving nothing behind.
This can be considered a very failed exchange.
Shrek This exchange activity did not achieve its goal, but instead caused a lot of trouble.
There was a burst of sadness in everyone's hearts.
