You really are impossible to reason with, kid!
Xuan Zi held a chicken drumstick in his hand, pointing at Tang Feng as he spoke.
Unfortunately, Zhang Lexuan stood firmly in front of him.
She represented Mu En's authority—an imperial sword no one dared ignore. Even Xuan Zi had no way around it.
"Mu Lao has made it clear."
"You are not allowed to force him to do anything."
"So if there's nothing else, we'll be taking our leave."
Zhang Lexuan's stance was crystal clear.
As long as the Sea God Pavilion elders did not coerce Tang Feng, everything else was negotiable.
For example, Dean Yan uses Tang Ya's life-saving debt as leverage—
even though that technically bordered on coercion—
Ma Xiaotao had already been completely healed, leaving Yan Shaozhe with no room to argue.
"Farewell, seniors."
"The remaining matters will be handled by the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Feng grabbed Wang Dong by the wrist and headed straight back toward the freshman dormitories.
"Tang Feng, I'll be returning to the Inner Court now."
"If you encounter any trouble at Shrek Academy, you can come find me there."
Zhang Lexuan took her leave as well.
She had originally been handling business outside the academy, and that task was only half-finished.
If not for running into Tang Feng and Wang Dong, she would have returned to the Inner Court directly.
"Senior Sister, I understand."
Tang Feng nodded.
Perhaps through the senior sister, he could uncover some truths about what had happened back then.
Thinking of it still filled him with guilt—
He hadn't expected that even two Soul Sages of the Star Luo royal family had failed to protect the elders of the Tang Sect.
If the Holy Spirit Cult hadn't taken an interest in Tang Ya's dark attribute, she might have ended up dead as well.
At some point, he would need to use the Divine Pure Land to purify Tang Ya's martial soul.
"Do I really have to write to my Great Uncle?"
Wang Dong looked nervous.
What if his Great Uncle decided Shrek Academy wasn't safe and took him back?
If that happened, it would be hard for him to see Tang Feng again.
"You don't want Shrek's compensation anymore?"
"Then didn't you suffer those back injuries for nothing?"
Tang Feng looked at him with disdain.
Was this guy really that naive?
If Wang Dong went to negotiate on his own, Shrek Academy could probably brush him off with a thousand-year soul bone or a Soul Ascension Pill.
Sure, Soul Ascension Pills were rare outside—
But you're the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, for crying out loud.
Getting a few Soul Ascension Pills for the Clear Sky Sect would be effortless.
When Tang Feng pushed open the dormitory door—
A withered old woman stood inside.
Her skin was wrinkled, her hair gray-white and coiled atop her head. She wore a white robe and was of average height.
What stood out most were her eyes—
bright, sharp, and piercing with black pupils that gleamed intensely.
"You're Tang Feng?"
The old woman scrutinized him coldly.
"Teacher Zhou, why are you here?"
Wang Dong instinctively shrank back.
He was still afraid of Zhou Yi—a natural fear the weak felt toward the strong.
This madwoman was unpredictable, temperamental, and utterly unhinged.
"Wang Dong, didn't I tell you to notify him to move out immediately?"
"Do you want to be expelled as well?"
Zhou Yi lashed out again.
This time, she had brought an expulsion notice signed by Du Weilun, specifically to deal with Tang Feng.
She wanted to thoroughly humiliate this so-called genius healing-type soul master.
Did he really think Shrek Academy was his private playground?
Attend class when you feel like it, skip when you don't.
"You can go ask Dean Yan if he even dares to expel me."
Tang Feng walked over and sat down on his bed.
At present, Huo Yuhao's second martial soul hadn't even appeared yet.
Tang Feng was the only Extreme Ice soul master, the sole individual capable of suppressing Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.
Yan Shaozhe might be stingy, but he wasn't stupid.
Would he really expel someone personally protected by Mu En and assigned Zhang Lexuan to watch over?
"You are no longer a member of Shrek Academy."
Zhou Yi slammed the expulsion notice onto the table.
Even if Tang Feng had backing, the facts were now laid bare.
To preserve Shrek Academy's authority, the higher-ups could only follow through.
Especially since Du Weilun's authorization was indeed valid.
"Oh?"
"Then the dormitory supervisor uncle outside—did you fire him as well?"
Tang Feng asked curiously.
He had heard from Wang Dong earlier that Zhou Yi intended to target the dorm supervisor, too.
Since the old man liked meddling, he might as well go outside Shrek Academy and meddle in everything under heaven.
"He doesn't even have a formal position."
"The academy letting him earn a living here was already benevolent enough."
"When I came, he had already left on his own. I didn't even need to fire him."
Zhou Yi spoke with complete confidence.
In her eyes, the dorm supervisor's absence meant he had been dismissed.
Normally, during working hours, the supervisor could never leave—
especially with so many freshmen around.
If a male student dared to enter the female dormitory, he would have been dealt with ruthlessly.
"Tang Feng, I hereby announce your expulsion."
"Leave the academy immediately."
"This is a notice, not a discussion."
Zhou Yi looked down at Tang Feng from above.
This was exactly the reaction she wanted.
If Tang Feng got angry—or better yet, knelt and begged—
That would give her immense satisfaction.
Plenty of students she'd expelled before had knelt.
"You're impressive."
Tang Feng gave a thumbs-up.
Because at that moment—
Zhang Lexuan had returned and was standing right at the dormitory entrance.
Nothing that happened in Shrek Academy could escape the Sea God Pavilion's eyes.
"Who gave you the authority to expel him?"
"Du Weilun, or Fan Yu?"
Zhang Lexuan's face was ice-cold.
She felt utterly exhausted.
She had just resolved one crisis—only for another to immediately follow.
A mere Outer Court instructor dared to expel a peerless genius with dual Extreme martial souls?
Upon returning to the Inner Court and checking records, she discovered—
Zhou Yi was Fan Yu's wife.
Both were Soul Douluo, but their status couldn't be more different.
Zhang Lexuan was the grand-disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master.
Fan Yu, even if he advanced further, would only become Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department.
Whether he'd ever become dean was still uncertain.
"An Inner Court disciple?"
Zhou Yi frowned deeply.
She didn't recognize Zhang Lexuan—but she recognized the Inner Court uniform.
At Shrek Academy, Inner Court students ranked above Outer Court instructors.
It was only because Fan Yu backed her that Zhou Yi could act so arrogantly in the Outer Court.
"Sister Lexuan, why did you come back again?"
Wang Dong beamed with joy.
This was the Inner Court's senior sister, a Sea God Pavilion member—
a perfect blend of strength, status, and beauty.
"Senior Sister, Teacher Zhou just said she fired the dorm supervisor uncle outside."
"Tell me— isn't that turning the world upside down?"
Tang Feng chuckled.
Even he was speechless at Zhou Yi's baffling behavior.
He hadn't provoked her at all—yet she insisted on delivering her face for slapping.
"You said you fired who?"
Zhang Lexuan thought she'd misheard.
Others might not know who the dorm supervisor was—
But how could she not?
That man was Mu En, Sea God Pavilion Master, Level 99 Dragon God Douluo, and the supreme commander of the Sea God Pavilion.
"Well, who else?"
"The Sea God Pavilion Master, you all call Mu Lao."
"Wang Dong, let's just accept being expelled."
"If Teacher Zhou can even fire the Pavilion Master, what are the two of us?"
Tang Feng wrapped an arm around Wang Dong's shoulder.
The two of them looked like they were one step away from setting up melon seeds and fruit—
ready to enjoy the show.jui
