My System is Too Awesome! Chapter 49

"Join Spirit Hall..."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.

Joining Spirit Hall was indeed a way to survive.

Zhu Zhuqing had always pinned her hopes on Dai Mubai.

But now that those hopes had been shattered, after thinking it over calmly once more, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized that joining Spirit Hall for protection was indeed a viable option.

It was just that Spirit Hall did not have a good relationship with their Star Luo Empire.

If she joined Spirit Hall and gained its protection, she might be completely severing ties with her family.

Although, because of the family's inheritance system, her parents had never shown her much affection throughout her life.

They were still her biological parents, after all.

Thinking of the consequences of choosing to join Spirit Hall, Zhu Zhuqing still hesitated somewhat.

"Teacher Bai Ye, I'll think carefully about your suggestion."

In the end, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath. She did not agree, only saying that she would consider it.

Bai Ye said nothing more in response.

He knew he still had to give Zhu Zhuqing some time to think.

But as long as Dai Mubai did his part well, and Bai Ye found another opportunity, Zhu Zhuqing would probably agree soon enough.

After all, compared to following the unreliable Dai Mubai to her death—

With his assurance, once she realized that joining Spirit Hall truly offered a way to survive, as the only person at Shrek Academy with any sense and a calm disposition—

Bai Ye believed Zhu Zhuqing would make the right choice.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

This was the day Shrek Academy began accepting registrations.

That morning, after taking Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin to breakfast in Suotuo City, Bai Ye led the three girls out of the city and headed toward Shrek Academy.

Following the road through stretch after stretch of endless golden wheat fields, as a faint village ahead drew ever closer, Shrek Academy was finally almost within reach.

After arriving at Shrek Academy—

Li Yusong was already waiting at the village entrance, seated behind a wooden table.

A cash box for collecting registration fees sat atop the table.

Before it, a long line had already formed, made up of students who had come to register and their parents.

"Qing Lin, Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, go line up. I'll wait for you in the back."

After bringing the three girls to the academy, Bai Ye looked at the long registration line stretching through the shabby village entrance and spoke.

"So this is Shrek Academy? Why does it feel so rundown? It's not even as good as our Nuoding Academy!"

After seeing Shrek Academy's true appearance, Xiao Wu complained a little.

Still, Xiao Wu ultimately lined up at the very end with Qing Lin and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Teacher Li Yusong!"

After having Xiao Wu and the others line up, Bai Ye walked over to Li Yusong and greeted him with a smile.

"Teacher Bai Ye!"

But when Li Yusong saw Bai Ye, he thought of how Zhao Wuji had been dragged around through the sky like a dog and then brutally beaten by Bai Ye a few days ago. He shuddered and hurriedly forced a smile as he returned the greeting.

"Teacher Bai Ye?!!"

That morning, after returning to Shrek Academy from the Rose Hotel—

Just as before, Dai Mubai was lying on a large tree at the village entrance, one leg crossed over the other as he shook his foot and rested with his eyes closed, ready at any moment to heed Li Yusong's orders and come down to intimidate anyone who wanted their registration fee back.

But when he heard Teacher Li Yusong address someone named Bai Ye as "Teacher," Dai Mubai immediately opened his eyes in disbelief.

What? Teacher Bai Ye?!

Shrek Academy didn't have a teacher by that name, did it?

Had another teacher joined while he was away?

Unable to help himself, Dai Mubai looked down from the tree toward Li Yusong.

But one look was enough to shock him!

When he saw Bai Ye's appearance, Dai Mubai's expression froze, and he was completely dumbfounded.

What? He was... Teacher Bai Ye?!
