As soon as those words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the Main Hall abruptly froze.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Everyone started coughing, exchanging glances with embarrassment written all over their faces.
After all, Yan Shaozhe was a member of the Sea God Pavilion.
Xuan Zi's words left them feeling rather disgraced as well.
Xuan Zi looked at the coughing crowd in bewilderment. What was going on?
Had he said anything wrong?
Aside from being a little greedy for food, he considered his character and conduct perfectly respectable.
So he really would never do anything so sordid!
In the end, Elder Zhuang spoke up and explained what had happened at Shrek Academy over the past few days.
Xuan Zi was dumbstruck when he finished listening.
He had only been away for a few days, and someone had already come knocking at Shrek's gates to attack them?
And they had suffered such a huge loss, too. Those were three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!
He only had one himself.
At the same time, he finally understood why everyone had looked so embarrassed.
That fellow Yan Shaozhe had actually done something like that?
If I'd known, I'd have given him a kick when I came in.
That was what Xuan Zi thought.
Seeing that Xuan Zi had only flared with anger briefly before quickly calming down after hearing Elder Zhuang's account, Mu En nodded inwardly.
Sure enough, now that he had someone to care about, this old fellow had become much more composed.
In the past, if Xuan Zi had heard that someone had attacked Shrek at its own gates, he would certainly have rolled up his sleeves and clamored for revenge.
Mu En gave a dry cough, signaling for Xuan Zi to recount what he had experienced since leaving Shrek.
