Mo Lin had not opened the letter, but he could guess what it said. It was nothing more than telling Xiao Wu that Tang San had left Slaughter City, but could not return for the time being; telling her to rest assured, not to worry, not to leave Heaven Dou City, and not to leave Shrek Academy.
Xiao Wu's expression proved that Mo Lin's guess had been right. She first let out a sigh of relief and relaxed, but as she continued reading, her brows gradually furrowed. She had clearly seen something she did not want to see.
Xiao Wu set the letter down, bowed to Mo Lin in thanks, and left the reception room without saying a word.
For a young couple deeply in love, not seeing each other for over a year and a half was painful enough. Now they had to endure another year apart. Xiao Wu's disappointment was only natural.
Seeing Xiao Wu so dejected, Liu Erlong hurried off to comfort her as her godmother. After politely saying, "Please excuse me," to Mo Lin (Xue Qinghe), she immediately ran out after Xiao Wu, leaving Mo Lin standing there alone.
Mo Lin could not help but sigh. Although the current situation was most likely due to Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu's personal circumstances, their behavior was still far too disrespectful. No wonder Shrek Academy had barely developed over the past few years!
In the original story, Shrek Academy could still rely on the fame it gained from defeating Spirit Hall to win the royal family's support. Now, Flender was the only person in the entire academy who understood how to curry a little favor with the royal family or nobles. Yet whatever goodwill Flender had painstakingly earned had probably been wiped out the instant Liu Erlong appeared.
