You Know, a Cover-Up Can Protect Shrek's Honor

"I never expected Shrek Academy to be such a cesspool of filth as well."

Qian Gu Dieting, the current master of the Spirit Pagoda, could not help but sneer at the sight. Ever since Long Yeyue, that shrew, had come to his door and slapped him across the face all those years ago, the relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy had never been good.

He was, after all, the current master of the Spirit Pagoda. She had come right to his door and slapped him in front of everyone. Did he not have any dignity?

Although he did not know why that girl from the Leng Family had been transported to the world of ten thousand years ago, nor who had done all this, as far as Qian Gu Dieting was concerned, all he had to do was expose Shrek Academy's filthy past. The more that came out, the better!

The Qian Gu family could pay for it!

The world had suffered under Shrek for far too long!

Meanwhile, outside Shrek Academy, Leng Yulai also received a message from her family.

"The exchange program is canceled. Come back."

Leng Yulai could not help but freeze when she saw the message.

"But Sister..."

"It's fine. Once Yaozhu returns, we'll arrange for someone to bring her back. For now, though, it isn't wise to have too much contact with Shrek Academy."

Although this foolish act had been committed by Shrek Academy from ten thousand years ago, who knew whether there was even more to it?

Shrek Academy's reputation was still being maintained for now, but what about the future? What would its reputation become then? No one could say for sure. Everyone wanted to preserve a clean and noble image and did not wish to associate with filth.

The Sun Moon Federation also moved quickly.

"From now on, restrict Ya Li's contact with that person from Shrek Academy."

"Yes!"

"Wow, these are Soul Ascension Pills!"

Wang Dong looked at the item in her hand and spoke excitedly.

"What are Soul Ascension Pills?"

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.

"Soul Ascension Pills can increase Soul Power. The amount they raise is equal to the total Soul Power needed for a Soul Master to advance from level thirty to thirty-one. They're absolutely great stuff! We'll have even more confidence in the Freshman Grand Competition now!"

Wang Dong said, her eyes shining.

Huo Yuhao could not help but grow excited after hearing that.

"They're using just two Soul Ascension Pills to dismiss two children who nearly died. Director Du is truly generous."

At that moment, Lin Fan let out a soft laugh, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Leng Yaozhu, standing nearby, nodded repeatedly as she thought to herself.

"Are two Soul Ascension Pills supposed to be charity for beggars?"

"This was Dean Yan's decision. If Teacher Lin has a problem with it, feel free to speak with Dean Yan."

Du Weilun's expression darkened as he looked at Lin Fan. He thought Lin Fan was truly a troublesome fellow.

"In that case, how about Director Du gives me some hush money as well? If the amount satisfies me, then I won't interfere any further. How does that sound?"

"You wouldn't want this matter getting out, would you?"

Lin Fan was entirely at ease when facing Du Weilun.

"You dare?! Lin Fan, as a teacher of Shrek Academy, are you trying to damage Shrek Academy's honor?!"

Du Weilun shouted sharply.

"Is this so-called honor maintained through concealment and cover-ups?"

Lin Fan spoke with utter disdain.

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Leng Yaozhu looked at him with great curiosity. Lin Fan had said everything she wanted to say.

But wasn't Lin Fan a member of Shrek Academy? Wouldn't speaking like this get him targeted?

"You sure have a sharp tongue. I won't argue with you over this nonsense. If you have any complaints, go talk to Dean Yan and Xuan Zi! Besides, this has nothing to do with you, does it? They're only two ordinary freshmen."

Du Weilun directly brought out his backers. He had no desire to waste time with Lin Fan, and after saying that, he turned to leave.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's expressions became extremely awkward after hearing Du Weilun's words. They found them deeply unpleasant.

Leng Yaozhu's expression also turned strange.

"If Father and the others heard that, they would probably be scared to death, wouldn't they? He actually called the founder of the Spirit Pagoda and his wife disposable castoffs."

Although Du Weilun had called them ordinary students, in light of what had just happened, calling them castoffs was not an exaggeration.

At that moment, Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell on Lin Fan's handsome face. How large a role did Lin Fan play ten thousand years ago?

At the very least, Lin Fan's current performance had earned him quite a few points in the girl's heart.

"I never said you could leave. You want to go without giving a proper explanation?"

After saying that, Lin Fan raised a hand. Du Weilun, who had already run some distance away, appeared before Lin Fan once again.

"What incredible control over space."

Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes rested on Lin Fan, filled with admiration. Lin Fan had not even released a single Soul Skill. He was merely using spatial abilities to restrict his opponent's movements. He was simply too strong.

"Lin Fan, you left Shrek for seven years, and now that you've returned, you're looking to cause trouble?!"

After trying to flee several times only to be pulled back by Lin Fan each time, Du Weilun's anger finally flared.

"Mu En may have said that no one was to lay a hand on you, but that was at Dean Yan's request. Today, I'll teach you a lesson myself!"

As he spoke, two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings appeared beneath Du Weilun. The aura of a Soul Douluo erupted from him without restraint.

"Then I'd like to see what Shrek is capable of these days."

"I'll help you."

Seeing that Lin Fan and Du Weilun were about to fight, Leng Yaozhu hurriedly spoke up. In her eyes, Lin Fan was about the same age as her, while Du Weilun was already middle-aged and an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo. He was no easy opponent.

"Don't worry. He's only a Soul Douluo. I can handle him."

Lin Fan stopped Leng Yaozhu from stepping in.

Leng Yaozhu looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. Only a Soul Douluo?

"Hmph, Lin Fan, you returned and even brought an outsider into the academy without permission. Is there still any Shrek in your eyes?"

Du Weilun snorted coldly at the scene before him. Then his entire body became covered in thick gray-black rhinoceros armor, and his size rapidly expanded.

"Second Soul Skill, Heavy Rhino Charge!"

Du Weilun gathered all his Soul Power at his shoulder and charged directly at Lin Fan. His speed was incredibly fast, and the force of the move was terrifying. Even an ordinary Soul Sage would likely be seriously injured if hit by it.

Lin Fan merely waved his hand calmly. Du Weilun vanished from where he stood, and when he reappeared, his head was facing the ground.

Bang!

Du Weilun's head smashed into the ground, blasting out a massive crater.

"You brat, all you do is use these dirty tricks!"

Having been toyed with so thoroughly by Lin Fan, Du Weilun's face flushed red. His eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.

Lin Fan showed no reaction. He simply waved his hand again, and a black crescent-shaped blade of energy shot directly toward Du Weilun. In the next instant, it struck him.

Du Weilun was sent flying and crashed into Sea God Lake.

"An Eight-Ring Soul Douluo couldn't even put up any resistance against him?"

Leng Yaozhu looked at Lin Fan before her and found the boy, who seemed to be around her age, increasingly mysterious. Why had someone so young and powerful left no trace in history?
