Mu En's Decision
Out of a desire to save his own life Xu Xingyu quickly explained to the two what was going on with Bai Xiuxiu in his arms and described her current situation.
Upon hearing that the other person wouldn't be able to see their mother for a long time, Jiang Nannan was overwhelmed with sympathy and hugged the other person to comfort them.
Even someone as filial as Jiang Nannan would be at a loss and cry if she encountered a situation similar to Bai Xiuxiu's.
Gu Yuena's expression was somewhat strange. She had originally thought that there would be no more Soul Beast Soul Beast as naive as the rabbit and the little grass from ten thousand years ago.
She met another one today, and she really didn't know what to say.
It can only be said that even as the supreme ruler of the Soul Beast Clan, she could not fully understand every single Soul Beast.
After some discussion, Gu Yuena, Jiang Nannan, and Bai Xiuxiu were arranged to sleep on the bed. After all, the bed provided by the hotel was quite large, and it was perfectly fine for two adults and a child to squeeze in.
As for Xu Xingyu, she could only sadly make a makeshift bed on the floor to sleep, even though Gu Yuena and Jiang Nannan had already agreed that the three of them would come together tonight.
Unexpectedly, after tying up Bai Xiuxiu, there was just one more little third wheel.
Only his beloved daughter, Buer, the incarnation of the Golden Ancient Tree, felt sorry for him and specially made him a simple bed through the Seed of Life inside his body when he was sleeping on the floor.
When Xu Xingyu woke up the next day, she saw Gu Yuena and Jiang Nannan chatting like sisters. It seemed that the two got along quite well, so Xu Xingyu smiled.
After all, he would be happier if his own Crystal Palace could be more harmonious; no one likes having to deal with Asura situations every day.
I just don't know what those two are discussing, and why they insist on keeping it from me.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal overall, because the two were basically discussing Xu Xingyu. During this discussion, Gu Yuena used her past experience of serving Xu Xingyu as leverage to successfully persuade Jiang Nannan, who had already formed Anti-Gu Yuena Alliance with Wang Dong'er, to defect.
Although Jiang Nannan was extremely unwilling at first, the experience of how to serve Xu Xingyu was too important to her, so she had no choice but to betray her best friend.
After all, love is a battle, and you can't hesitate when it comes to your own happiness! Because hesitation leads to defeat!
Don't blame yourself for how despicable your methods were; blame yourself for how powerless you were!
So after apologizing to Wang Dong'er in her heart, Jiang Nannan successfully became the number one traitor in the Anti-Gu Yuena Alliance.
At this Xu Xingyu noticed that Bai Xiuxiu was missing and asked her where she had gone.
As a result, Gu Yuena and Jiang Nannan pointed at Xu Xingyu, and only then did they realize that Bai Xiuxiu had fallen asleep on top of them.
According to Gu Yuena and Jiang Nannan, Bai Xiuxiu found the bed too hot because it was her first time sleeping in one, so she ran away to Xu Xingyu's small bed made of vines.
This explains why she's sleeping on top of him now, something Xu Xingyu can't really explain.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark originally lived in the deep sea, was accustomed to the low temperatures from the deep sea, and even if Bai Xiuxiu transformed into human form, she would not be able to adapt to it all at once.
The Snow Empress was in a similar situation back then, so Bai Xiuxiu wasn't surprised by Xu Xingyu's reaction.
After getting dressed, Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan left the room, as they had arranged to discuss tactics with the Wang Yan team Heavenly Harmony.
So after entrusting Gu Yuena to take care of Bai Xiuxiu, the two left the room and headed to the agreed location.
Upon arriving at the meeting place, they received astonishing news: the entire word game competition would be handled by the reserve team.
It's important to understand that while the current reserve team has improved its relationships considerably, their cohesion is far from that of a competent team.
If it's an individual match, there shouldn't be any problem, but if it's a team battle or a 2-2-3 situation, then this match will be troublesome.
Seeing the worried expressions on Wang Yan's and the reserve team's faces, Xu Xingyu knew that this decision was definitely not what they had expected.
Unsurprisingly, this decision was made by Shrek's higher-ups. In the current Shrek Academy, there is only one person in the world who would sacrifice the pride and glory of the Shrek Academy for the sake of a reserve team's proper growth.
That person is Mu En, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion at the Shrek Academy!
It seems that Mu En couldn't stand the reserve team's performance in this match either, and for the sake of these kids' development, he banned any of the starting players from playing.
Only Mu En truly stands out as one of the few genuine educators at the Shrek Academy.
Unlike those stubborn old men who always clung to Shrek's glory, Mu En, having made many mistakes in the past, gained a clearer perspective in his old age.
If this reserve team isn't put under enough pressure, it won't be able to become a real team, let alone be qualified to inherit the name of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
Therefore, this time he chose a do-or-die approach to force them to accept whatever prejudices they might have, at least to ignore these conflicts during the battle and choose the best way to fight.
Of course, many senior figures, such as Yan Shaozhe, objected to this decision, but in the end, Mu En rejected them one by one.
In his view, if this reserve team cannot at least temporarily put aside their prejudices during this competition, then no matter how talented the players are, they must be disbanded.
Upon learning this fact, Wang Yan Yanke was plunged into despair. In his view, it would not be difficult for these children to deal with their opponent, Zhengtian Academy.
Ultimately, it all comes down to whether they can put aside their prejudices and fight together. If not, this team without the support of Soul King will surely be utterly defeated by the Zhengtian Academy.
According to the report, Zheng Tian has at least two Soul King!
Xu Xingyu quickly comforted them, saying that although the members of their main team couldn't play, they could at least help arrange tactics. Besides, the competition wouldn't start until tomorrow, so there was still time to build chemistry.
Moreover, even though their regular team members can't play, that doesn't mean they can't give these younger students some necessary guidance!
After hearing Xu Xingyu of comfort, Wang Yan finally cheered up and began preparing for tomorrow's match against the Zhengtian Academy.
