Chapter 292: Tang Weiwei and Dai Mubai
Dai Mubai cursed furiously, "It's all that damned Spirit Hall's fault! Ever since that new Pope, Bibi Dong, took over, they've been organizing some kind of continent-wide assessment of Spirit Master academies, claiming to rank the mid-level and high-level Spirit Master academies. Since our Shrek students are too poor and don't have a ranking, they've been labeled a flop."
"That's just too overbearing! How can they arbitrarily decide the fate of an academy? Don't the two empires care? And the Spirit Guild, don't they claim to be righteous? How can they let the Spirit Hall run amok?"
Tang San, already dissatisfied with the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Guild due to Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang's words and deeds, became even more angry at Dai Mubai's words.
"Care? How can they care? They're all just a bunch of snakes and rats."
The mention of the Spirit Guild intensified Dai Mubai's anger.
It was simple. Ever since the Vice President of the Spirit Guild accepted his eldest brother's fiancée, Zhu Zhuyun, as his apprentice, most people within the Star Luo Empire believed that Zhu Zhuyun had a promising future. A high-ranking position within the Guild was a foregone conclusion, and even the succession to Vice President was a possibility.
They all supported Davis.
The Zhu family was no exception. They had arranged a marriage for him without even letting him meet his fiancée.
It seemed they didn't expect him to inherit the throne.
Yet, his father acquiesced.
As a result, Davis unscrupulously oppressed and bullied him after the engagement. If it weren't for the imperial rule prohibiting attacks on rivals before the age of twenty-five, Davis would have killed him long ago.
This was why he had come all alone to Shrek Academy, so far from the Star Luo Empire.
Whenever Dai Mubai thought of this, his resentment towards the Spirit Guild boiled over.
If it weren't for the Spirit Guild, he wouldn't have been unable to even see his fiancée, seeing no hope at all.
"Even so, they shouldn't have only admitted so few students, right?"
Tang Weiwei spoke again.
Dai Mubai said angrily, "Of course, there's more to it than that. That damned Spirit Hall branded our Spirit Guild a quack academy. It was then published in Spirit Weekly. They also slandered Shrek Academy in the textbooks of every Spirit Guild Hope Primary School, calling it a fraudulent academy that misleads students. Not only are the admission requirements harsh, but the educational resources are also inadequate. There's no simulated training environment, and the teaching staff is inadequate. Housing and food are a mess. They're recruiting a bunch of the continent's top talents and letting them grow up. If they succeed, it's the academy's credit. If they don't, it's their own failure."
"To the point where almost no one's signing up. If it weren't for the dean and several teachers who regularly go to the Spirit Guild as mercenaries, taking on missions, and me providing frequent financial support, our academy would have closed long ago."
At this point, Dai Mubai seemed to think of something, and glanced at the three in surprise. "What? Haven't you seen the Spirit Guild's slander against Shrek Academy in the textbooks?"
Tang San, Tang Weiwei, and Xiao Wu all shook their heads.
They hadn't participated in the Spirit Guild's compulsory education.
"You've all heard of the Spirit Guild's compulsory classes, right? The ones every junior spirit master academy has?"
Dai Mubai asked again.
"My teacher said it was a class the Spirit Guild used to win people over, and we didn't go," Tang San replied.
Tang Weiwei felt the same way. Xiao Wu had heard of it, but she wasn't the type to listen to lectures. She just ate and drank every day, and especially after learning her mother was still alive, she completely let herself go.
If it weren't for Tang San and Tang Weiwei supervising their training, she would have been ruined long ago.
What puzzled Xiao Wu was that, for some reason, after Ah Rou had advised her to stop associating with Tang San and Tang Weiwei, and she had ignored them, believing them to be good people, her mother hadn't contacted her since.
At first, Xiao Wu had simply assumed Ah Rou had returned to work, but this time was different. She'd usually come to see her every few months.
This time, it had been five whole years.
During those five years, Xiao Wu had only initially felt a wave of sadness and attempted to find her, but soon, comforted by Tang San and Tang Weiwei, who had assumed Ah Rou had been hunted by the Spirit Hall, she fell back into her usual heartless self.
"It seems your teacher is a reasonable person," Dai Mubai finally smiled, as if he'd found a kindred spirit. God knew how angry and helpless he'd been over the years, whenever he'd spoken ill of the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Guild, he'd incurred public outrage.
Half an hour later, Dai Mubai saw no more registrations and realized that this year, only Tang San and the other three were participating. So he said to Li Yusong, who was in charge of registration, "Teacher Li, I'll take them in first."
Li Yusong waved his hand, signaling them to go in.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong weren't there, Tang Weiwei assumed it was due to the butterfly effect, as she'd arrived earlier. She followed, walking side by side with Dai Mubai. "Boss Dai, are we the only three here today?"
Dai Mubai nodded. "Yes, in previous years, we couldn't find anyone to sign up. Thank goodness you guys, otherwise, there wouldn't be anyone signing up this year."
"Then who else is in our academy besides you?" Tang Weiwei frowned, her confusion growing. What was going on? First, Shrek was targeted by the Spirit Hall, and now Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong weren't here either? Could it be that a time traveler like me had appeared?"
"A fat guy our dean picked up from outside, and a sausage-smoking uncle. You'll know them later," Dai Mubai replied casually, seemingly not wanting to elaborate further.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai began to secretly assess Tang Weiwei. With his years of experience in the pursuit of women, it was easy to tell that this Tang Weiwei was a woman with strong desires. And she's definitely had sex with more than one man. Most importantly, the other party seems to have that kind of interest in him. Thinking of this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but glance at Tang San and Xiao Wu, his mind aroused.
It looked like it was Ma Hongjun and Oscar. Tang Weiwei, unaware that Dai Mubai had also harbored feelings for her, relaxed her frown slightly. She then asked, "So, they said before that Shrek had admitted seven students, including us. Besides the four of us, there's that fat guy, the sausage guy, and the guy who ran off with the stick. Could it be that they haven't admitted any students?"
Dai Mubai nodded. "Yes, but don't underestimate that senior student, who only stayed at Shrek for three days. He's now an elder of the Spirit Hall, second only to the Pope."
After hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tang Weiwei felt relieved.
While she didn't know why the Spirit Guild, a mysterious organization in the original novel, was helping the Spirit Hall to attack Shrek, it was possible that a time traveler had appeared within the Spirit Hall.
What conditions impressed the Spirit Guild?
But as long as the process remains unchanged, it's fine.
The only thing I'm worried about is Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing is easy to deal with.
If Ning Rongrong is gone, who will they turn to for resurrection if the three giegies are beaten to death?
Next, Dai Mubai led the four of them directly to the fourth level.
Although Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were gone, they still encount
