After taking his seat, Feng Xiaotian looked at the atmosphere and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er's eyes were almost glued to Qi Ling. Although one was angry and the other was distracted, it was clear that he couldn't count on the two of them.
In the current situation, he was essentially fighting alone. With Qi Ling sitting right there, how could he possibly dare to resort to any underhanded tactics?
"Um, Qi Ling, we're here representing the Four Elements Academy mainly to see if your strength has improved over the years, and also to check on the health of the Shrek Academy teachers..."
"Tell the truth!" Qi Ling glanced at Feng Xiaotian, startling him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Ah, well, actually we came here mainly to exchange teaching experiences with Shrek, since we'll be visiting each other frequently in the future..."
" Feng Xiaotian, have you changed your name to 'Itchy Skin'? If you don't tell the truth, do you want me to loosen your bones?" Qi Ling said, looking at Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian sighed helplessly and said, "Sigh, Boss Qi, let me be honest with you, the situation at our Four Elements Academy has indeed been very bad lately."
Afterwards, Feng Xiaotian explained the situation of the Four Elements Academy. Under the pressure of the Divine Court, they had reached a point where they either had to join or be destroyed, which was why they came to Heaven Dou City hoping to Shrek.
" The Four Elements Academy currently has fewer than six hundred students in total, so you don't need to worry at all. We won't take up too much space," Feng Xiaotian said. "We just want to find a place to continue surviving, so that we can contribute to the fight against the Spirit Hall in the future."
"Of course, you don't need to worry about money. We've saved up some money over the years. As long as Shrek agrees, we're willing to contribute to the renovation of the teaching buildings, school buildings, and even the expansion of the academy! That way, we can all support each other."
However, Tang San said with concern, "Brother Feng, if it's really as you say, then there's nothing wrong with everyone uniting. But it seems you don't intend to relinquish your dominant position. If that's the case, I'm afraid there will be more conflicts between the two sides in the future."
What Tang San was worried about was that the Four Elements Academy might take the initiative after arriving, leading to even greater conflicts in the future. After all, the students of the Four Elements Academy were generally stronger than those of Shrek Academy, and it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
But then Qi Ling suddenly said, "It's alright, Xiao San. If the Four Elements Academy wants to come in, let them come in. We'll provide them with whatever help they need."
Tang San looked at Qi Ling in surprise upon hearing her words, but then he understood and couldn't help but smile, "Ah, I see, Big Brother, I understand."
" Feng Xiaotian, let's do as you say. When are you moving in?"
Feng Xiaotian looked at Tang San in surprise. He hadn't expected them to agree to his request so easily. This was something he hadn't anticipated at all; he had thought he would be turned away.
" Feng Xiaotian, don't be so surprised. We'll naturally do our best to help you when you're in trouble!" Qi Ling said. "From now on, we're all family, so please don't be shy! You're also welcome to Shrek the Shrek family."
"Ah, ah..." Feng Xiaotian listened to Qi Ling's words with a confused expression, not knowing how to react.
"With so many more students suddenly, the school might not have enough classrooms! And the dormitories are another problem!" Qi Ling said. " Xiao San, let's solve this problem as soon as the teachers get back."
"Furthermore, with so many teachers at the Four Elements Academy, we should encourage our students to learn from them, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses. We also need to differentiate the students' learning levels to facilitate group teaching. The teachers should also hold a meeting to facilitate more exchange and collaboration..."
Feng Xiaotian felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. It sounded like they were trying to swallow up the Four Elements Academy, treating them like transfer students and transfer teachers?
" Boss Qi, we didn't come here to..."
"You have a problem with that?" Qi Ling's voice turned slightly cold, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him, surrounding Feng Xiaotian and causing him to shiver involuntarily.
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian fully understood that Qi Ling was not afraid of their Four Elements Academy seizing power at all, because in the face of absolute strength, they would have no chance to resist!
Including Feng Xiaotian, none of them were actually taken seriously by Qi Ling. It was as if an adult was watching a group of children playing house, and there was no sense of threat at all.
"This, this, please let us go back and discuss it..." Feng Xiaotian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt like he had really walked into a tiger's den this time. If he wasn't careful, he would be eaten alive.
"Well, you can go back and discuss it. But since you've come from afar, we feel bad making you go through all this trouble," Qi Ling said. " Shrek Academy just had a batch of students graduate recently, so there are some vacancies in the dorms! If we squeeze in, we should be able to accommodate everyone."
"The students of the Four Elements Academy will stay here for now, Fatty! You arrange this! Tonight, I want all the students of the Four Elements Academy to have a place to stay at Shrek! Understand?"
" Boss Qi, don't worry, I completely understand! I'll make the arrangements right away and make sure all the students have a place to stay!" Ma Hongjun chuckled, already fully aware of Qi Ling's intentions.
In the end, Feng Xiaotian didn't even know how he left Shrek Academy. With lifeless eyes, he asked Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, "You two, are you really willing to let the Four Elements Academy be swallowed up by Shrek like this?"
"What's there to be resentful about? Feng Xiaotian, do you think things are still the same as before?" Huo Wu said. " The Four Elements Academy doesn't even have its own campus anymore, what right do they have to talk about these things?"
"Besides, Feng Xiaotian, you're hailed as the most outstanding genius of the Godwind Academy. You don't really intend to be a mere principal for the rest of your life, living such a pathetic existence, do you?" Huo Wu said disdainfully. "If that's the case, then I truly despise you!"
"This..." Feng Xiaotian was speechless for a moment. Huo Wu was right. He really hadn't thought that he would stay in the academy for the rest of his life. Now, it was time to think about his future.
"Alas, but now that the Divine Court is so powerful, where can I go?" Feng Xiaotian said helplessly. "Besides the two great empires, it seems that only that organization called Dragon's Glory can stand against them! But how can I join Dragon's Glory?"
Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance. Huo Wu said, " Feng Xiaotian, are you really unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"
"Know what?" Feng Xiaotian asked, puzzled.
" Qi Ling, he is the leader of the Dragon's Glory Alliance!"
