Mu En's Monologue

"Teacher, it is my failure in supervision that led to this accident!"

"My original intention was to make the selection for the Seven Monsters substitutes more rigorous, so that we could select more outstanding students. I never imagined that the teachers below would misunderstand my meaning, which is what led to this situation."

"If you wish to punish me, then please do so!"

Since the teacher had already spoken, Yan Shaozhe knew that he could not escape the blame today.

However, errors vary in severity, and he naturally would not easily admit that all of this was his own arrangement.

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's reply, Mu En let out a long sigh.

Even at a time like this, this student of his was still playing such petty tricks.

He truly treated everyone else like fools.

"Shao-zhe, from today on, you will go into seclusion. Do not emerge until you have broken through to a level 96 Title Douluo."

"As for the affairs of the Martial Soul Department, leave them to Cai Mei'er to manage."

Mu En issued the punishment to Yan Shaozhe without room for argument.

From his perspective, there was truly nothing wrong with this; one should naturally protect their own people.

Even if they were wrong, they should be punished by their own people, while still being shielded.

But Ning Que, standing there as a semi-outsider, naturally felt that this was a deception, a transparent attempt to cover up the truth.

He did not speak, but waited quietly, waiting for the final outcome.

If Mu En did not provide a convincing result, this matter would absolutely not be over.

To put it bluntly, if he had not been present today, given Yan Shaozhe's personality, he would have absolutely used a hardline stance to pressure his younger sister and the others not to leak this incident.

If Jin Sheng's strength had not been sufficient, perhaps one of them would have died accidentally.

When that time came, Shrek Academy would simply claim they died fighting for the glory of the academy, and who could one go to for justice?

Such things had certainly happened before.

Ning Que made up his mind that once he achieved his goal, he would take everyone from his sect and leave.

As for Shrek Academy, it was truly no longer a place of peace.

"Teacher, I..."

Yan Shaozhe wanted to speak again to argue for something, but he was stopped by his wife, Cai Mei'er, at his side.

Forcing him into seclusion to break through to level 96 was truly too difficult for Yan Shaozhe.

"Xuan Zi, after Shao-zhe enters seclusion, you should help out more with the affairs of the Martial Soul Department. After all, Mei'er lacks management experience."

Following this, Mu En assigned some tasks to Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi did not refuse and agreed immediately.

It was no big deal; once the orders were given, there would naturally be people to carry them out. It was nothing more than a slight increase in the burden on his shoulders.

"Since Ning Que helped prove Zhou Yi's innocence, the matter of her dereliction of duty will be noted for now. However, the compensation for the children must not be lacking. Mei'er, you will handle this matter personally."

Having punished those who needed to be punished, Mu En began to make amends and offer compensation.

Mu En did not specify exactly what the compensation would be; this was a test for Cai Mei'er.

"Teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task and will never let any child suffer a loss!"

Cai Mei'er promised with absolute certainty.

Her eyes were filled with fervor and determination.

In the past, whenever she wanted to intervene in academy affairs to make a name for herself and prove her worth, she was always stopped by Shao-zhe.

According to Shao-zhe, it was not appropriate for a woman like her to be in the public eye.

Although she chose to accommodate her husband, it did not mean that her desire had vanished.

Now that Elder Mu had spoken personally, even her husband could say nothing against it.

Cai Mei'er firmly believed that she could handle this matter well.

She had to grasp this opportunity firmly.

"Duo-duo, take some time to make a trip to the Mysterious Underworld Sect. Explain this matter clearly to them and express our apologies."

Mu En spoke again, his gaze shifting to Qian Duoduo, the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

Since he had taken the opportunity to remove Yan Shaozhe from the position of Dean, he might as well go a step further and raise the status of the Soul Guidance Department.

As for the Clear Sky Sect, he would pay them a visit personally.

There was no need to go to the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect; the person who could make the decisions was right here.

"Elder Mu, please rest assured!"

Qian Duoduo was quite happy in his heart to see that Yan Shaozhe's position as Dean had been taken away by Elder Mu.

If it weren't for Yan Shaozhe suppressing them at every turn, how could their Soul Guidance Department have remained in such a state until now?

Now that there was finally an opportunity, he had to seize it.

"Uncle-Master, is this really appropriate?"

Hearing that Mu En actually wanted Qian Duoduo to go to the Mysterious Underworld Sect to apologize and disclose the details of what happened today, Xuan Zi, who had remained silent until now, could not help but speak up.

To put it bluntly, this matter didn't amount to much at all.

But if they stepped forward to provide an explanation, the situation would become entirely different.

After all, such a thing was unprecedented; people would inevitably overthink it, and it would deal a blow to the honor of Shrek Academy.

"Elder Mu, we accept the compensation, but the ten-thousand-year glory of Shrek cannot have any stains."

"I do not agree with this matter!"

It wasn't just Xuan Zi; the other resident elders also voiced their objections one after another.

Even Yan Shaozhe took this opportunity to have his wife express her opposition.

The truth was, he simply could not trust Qian Duoduo.

If he let Qian Duoduo step forward to explain and apologize on his behalf, who knew how this guy might smear his name?

By then, what reputation would he have left?

"What, are you no longer listening to my words?"

"Looking at your stance, if I don't agree to your request today, are you planning to replace me as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion?"

Seeing that everyone was opposing him, Mu En was truly infuriated.

He had racked his brains and tried every possible method to reform the internal structure of Shrek Academy.

He never expected that the first to oppose him would be his own people.

Mu En was genuinely angry.

Once these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

They truly did not have the guts for that.

The reason they opposed him was that they did not want the ten-thousand-year glory of Shrek to be affected.

Shrek apologizing to other sects—such a precedent had never been set.

"My mind is made up; the matter will be arranged as I said."

Mu En forcefully issued the order, then turned his gaze toward Ning Que.

Facing this most troublesome existence, even he did not know how to resolve the situation for the time being.

The truth was that the other party was now powerful, and in this unprovoked disaster, only the people from his Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had suffered serious injuries.

"Ning Que, this old man sees that the girl Ye Guyi has great talent, and I wish to take her as a nominal disciple."

"Although it would only be as a nominal disciple, this old man can guarantee that I will impart everything I know without reservation."

After some thought, Mu En decided to start the conversation with Ye Guyi.

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency Dragon God, but my Guyi already has a master."

Hearing Mu En's words, Ning Que sneered inwardly.

This guy really thought he could fool him like some ignorant youngster.
