Xuan Zi Was Driven Away; Feng Yan Joined Shrek

Xuan Zi would swear on his own reputation that he did not do it on purpose.

But even he himself found it hard to believe when he said it.

A level 98 Super Douluo, without even interrupting a Soul Bone absorption ceremony—who could believe that?

How should we explain this to Mu En?

What to do!

What should we do?

Xuan Zi has absolutely no idea how to face Mu En.

Should we cut off Ma Xiaotao's right arm?

The thought flashed through his mind for a moment before he ruthlessly suppressed it.

Even if Ma Xiaotao weren't Titled Douluo now, it wouldn't be easy for her to forcibly remove the Soul Bone that was already inside her.

"Xuan Zi, come over as soon as you're done." Mu En saw Xuan Zi stop what he was doing, and although his tone remained calm, the urging was no longer concealed.

Xuan Zi gritted his teeth, withdrew his Soul Power, stood up, turned around, and walked step by step to Mu En.

"Mu En... his Soul Bone..."

"So what if it's Soul Bone? As long as Xiaotao is alright, what does Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone matter?" Mu En couldn't believe that Xuan Zi had failed again.

He thought that at most, Xuan Zi had forcibly interrupted, causing some damage to the Soul Bone.

"Xiaotao absorbed it too quickly. I had just circulated my Soul Power when she had already completely absorbed that Soul Bone. I... was still a step too late..." In order to shift the blame, Xuan Zi did not hesitate to steer the conversation toward Ma Xiaotao.

Before he could even finish speaking, he himself started to feel guilty.

Although Ma Xiaotao accelerated her absorption at the last minute, is Xuan Zi really without any fault?

Not necessarily.

After all, if Xuan Zi hadn't been distracted and the Soul Power he was transferring hadn't been a bit weak, Ma Xiaotao would have just been left to suffer without making a ripple.

Xuan Zi wanted to add a few more patches, but he saw Mu En just staring at him silently, his eyes filled with disappointment and an indescribable emotion.

How could Chicken Leg Douluo Xuanzi's flawed excuse possibly fool Mu En, who was at level 99?

Mu En didn't expose him; he simply remained silent.

He had lived too long and seen too many people use beautiful words to cover up their mistakes, but this time Xuan Zi couldn't even come up with any beautiful words.

Shifting the blame to a child is enough to show just how guilty Xuan Zi is.

Mu En knew Xuan Zi hadn't done it on purpose, but he also knew that this increasingly frail creature had definitely hesitated for a moment at the time...

"Mei'er, take Yan Shaozhe to Xiao Zhuang's place. I'll go and do my best to help Xiaotao suppress her Evil Fire."

As the Sea God Pavilion Master, Mu En carried an incredibly heavy responsibility, and naturally he wouldn't just stand by and watch the exceptionally talented Ma Xiaotao explode and die.

"Xuan Zi, you have one last chance. Leave Shrek for now..."

Xuan Zi felt as if the sky had fallen and immediately asked, "Mu En... are you trying to send me away?"

He had lived for so many years, and had been scolded and punished by Mu En, but had never been driven away.

Xuan Zi would rather be verbally abused by Mu En, or have him forced to admit his mistake with the pressure of a level 99 aura, like he did outside the Star Luo Empire last time...

Even if it means tying him up and making him kowtow to Yan Shaozhe, it's fine, but it's absolutely unacceptable to send him away.

Shrek is his home, which he's lived in for over two hundred years!

"Xuan Zi will always be your home, Shrek. Your purpose in this journey is simply to travel across the continent and find Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice power as soon as possible... If all else fails, Soul Beast will do," Mu En said.

"Even if I use the power of the Golden Ancient Tree, I can only keep Xiaotao alive for six months at most. In other words, if you don't make any progress within six months, Xiaotao Tao will be gone..."

Mu En actually had one more thing he didn't say.

Since Xuan Zi returned from the Star Luo Empire, his behavior has become increasingly erratic and unpredictable, even exhausting Xuanzi, the Pavilion Master.

But Xuan Zi is still the face of Shrek, and this Limit Douluo can't protect Shrek for much longer...

Today it's Ma Xiaotao, so who will it be next time?

Zhang Lexuan?

Bei Bei?

Or is it this old man who is nearing the end of his life?

Mu En slowly turned his wheelchair around, turning his back to Xuan Zi so that Xuan Zi wouldn't see the fleeting wariness in his eyes.

Some things shouldn't be said too explicitly, otherwise, that old Taotie would probably completely break down.

"I see." Xuan Zi had finally realized the full extent of the consequences of his stubbornness.

"Mu En, don't worry! If I can't find anyone with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, I'll just go to the Far North and capture a Ferocious Beast!"

After saying that, Xuan Zi didn't hesitate any longer and immediately flew towards the Far North.

"Sigh, that tone again." Mu En watched Xuan Zi's departing figure and sighed inwardly once more.

He had completely given up on Xuan Zi at this point. In the past, Xuan Zi always seemed to have it all figured out, but in the end, he always managed to mess things up completely.

"Fellow predecessors, Shrek is now facing a generational gap. What should I Mu En, do?" Mu En sighed, and then began to suppress Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire.

Office of the Dean of the Spirit Department, Outer Court.

"Is there anything wrong with me applying for a theory teacher position?" Feng Yan took a sip of tea and began to get down to business.

What happened in the Inner Court just now could not be kept from him, but he couldn't be bothered to care right now.

After all, in reality, Feng Yan had already graduated from Shrek Academy and was no longer considered a member of Shrek.

This is Shrek's internal affair, and it's not his place as an "outsider" to interfere.

"Your Ritian, isn't it a bit of a waste of your talents to be a theory teacher?" Du Weilun carefully considered his words as he spoke, refilling Feng Yan's teacup with hot water.

"Never let your talents be wasted, never let your talents be wasted."

Feng Yan said with a serious expression, "I have always believed that educating people is the most important thing in the world. Moreover, the relationship between Shrek and the Clear Sky Sect is not bad."

"By the way, I never put on airs when teaching my students, unless they're lazy and don't hand in their homework."

"What is homework?" Du Weilun asked, puzzled. After all, the word "homework" had never existed in the Douluo Continent.

"Homework can be divided into after-school homework, weekend homework, holiday homework..." Feng Yan immediately perked up when homework was mentioned.

Since you've decided to become a teacher, how can you not give the students on the Douluo Continent some challenging lessons?

A long time.

"Hmm... let's settle on this for now. We'll talk about the rest when I think of something else." Feng Yan almost forgot the most important point.

"Tests are held every week and every month. Those who fail will have their homework doubled."

"Those who fail repeatedly will have all their work doubled."

"The number of people who don't do their homework will double."

"The number of people who talk back to teachers will triple."

"The number of people involved in early romantic relationships increases tenfold."

Feng Yan finally finished speaking. He had to admit that sometimes he really felt like he was cut out to be a teacher.

Du Weilun listened, stunned.

He suddenly realized that Xuan Zi wasn't so scary after all; at least Xuan Zi only stole chicken legs, not holidays.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! From this Ritian forward, you will be a teacher in the Outer Court of Shrek Spirit Department..."

Sensing something was amiss, Du Weilun explained, "After all, if it's just a theory teacher from the Outer Court, then as the dean of studies, I still have that much authority."
