Accompanied by this slurred voice, an old man in ragged clothes and with disheveled hair walked in.
One side of his cheek was swollen high, showing a purplish-red color, and he held a wine gourd in his hand.
It was precisely Xuan Zi.
Seeing Xuan Zi in this state, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
As the director of teaching, Du Weilun reacted the fastest. Although he was shocked in his heart as to why Xuan Zi had suffered such heavy injuries, this was clearly not the time to ask.
He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then lowered his voice, retelling the conflict that had just occurred in the most concise language possible.
As Du Weilun spoke, he observed Xuan Zi's expression.
He had originally thought that although Elder Xuan had a fiery temper, he would weigh the pros and cons in such major matters involving top Sect relations.
After all, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not as glorious as it was ten thousand years ago, it still had a certain degree of influence, and its Spirit remained top-tier in terms of support.
Before Xuan Zi could express his stance, Zhou Yi, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly stepped forward and spoke first.
"Elder Xuan."
Zhou Yi's voice was sharp and mean, pointing at Ning Tian and Wu Feng with a face full of indignation.
"It is not that I am unreasonable, but these two students have gone too far!"
"They openly clamored in the office, saying that if I do not retract the decision to expel them, it is not giving face to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"I, Zhou Yi, have taught for so many years, and although I am strict, I have never targeted any student."
"But what about them?"
"They are using the power of their Sect to suppress me! They are using the signboard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to suppress our Shrek Academy!"
"If I back down today, will any student with a little background be able to shit on a teacher's head in the future?"
"This is simply using power to bully others!"
Upon hearing the words "using power to bully others," Xuan Zi's gaze changed instantly.
What he hated hearing the most right now was "using power to bully others"!
Just a short while ago, he, a dignified Level 98 Super Douluo, had been bullied by that group of people using their power!
His anger had not yet dissipated, and he did not expect that there would be someone playing the "using power to bully others" game on his own turf?
Did they really think he, Xuan Zi, was made of mud?!
"Good! What a 'using power to bully others'!"
Xuan Zi laughed out of extreme anger, his swollen face looking even more ferocious and terrifying because of the smile.
"Zhou Yi is right!"
Xuan Zi waved his large hand.
"Expel! Must expel!"
"Our Shrek Academy is least afraid of power!"
"Whatever Sect, whatever background! Since you dare to run wild in the academy, then get lost!"
This roar directly stunned Du Weilun.
He widened his eyes, looking at Xuan Zi in disbelief, his forehead throbbing with veins from anxiety.
"Elder Xuan! You... you must think twice!"
Du Weilun disregarded etiquette, hurriedly rushed to Xuan Zi's side, and lowered his voice to anxiously persuade him.
"That Wu Feng might be fine, but Ning Tian is the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"If we really don't give them face and drive Wu Feng away, then Ning Tian will surely have hard feelings, and by then, who knows if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."
Before Du Weilun could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Xuan Zi.
"The backbone of Shrek Academy is bent by people like you!"
"So what if it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Xuan Zi snorted disdainfully.
"They give money, that is for us to cultivate their descendants; it is they who are begging us!"
"Do they really think that by giving a little stinking money, they can sway Shrek Academy's decisions?"
"Besides!"
Xuan Zi pointed at Wu Feng, his tone extremely tough:
"Now, the one to be expelled is this Wu Feng, not Ning Tian!"
"If she, Ning Tian, is sensible, she will honestly stay in the academy to cultivate, and we will naturally cultivate her into a talent."
"If she is not sensible..."
A fierce light flashed in Xuan Zi's eyes.
Ning Tian, who had been standing on the side without speaking, could finally endure it no longer.
Her small face, usually elegant and composed, was now covered in frost.
As the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, although she had a gentle personality, she had her own pride in her bones.
These words of Xuan Zi were not only humiliating Wu Feng, but also trampling on the dignity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Ning Tian stepped forward, her large water-blue eyes showing no fear as she looked directly at Xuan Zi.
"Since Shrek Academy is so unreasonable and looks down on us so much."
"Then fine!"
"If Wu Feng is expelled, then I will not stay here either!"
"We will leave together!"
"This Shrek Academy, it's not worth staying at!"
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this "not worth staying at," Xuan Zi completely blew his top.
He stood up abruptly, and a terrifying wave of Spirit Power instantly swept through the entire office, pressing down on everyone until they could barely breathe.
"You want to leave?"
Xuan Zi laughed out of extreme anger, pointing at Ning Tian's nose and cursing:
"What kind of place do you think Shrek Academy is?"
"Is it a vegetable market that you can come and go as you please?!"
"Little girl, don't think that just because you have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as a backer, you can put on airs in front of me!"
"Don't take yourself too seriously either!"
"The current Shrek Academy is not the small academy from ten thousand years ago!"
"We are the number one on the continent! We are the holy land for Spirit Masters!"
"The current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is long past being that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from ten thousand years ago that had Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sitting in it, known as the number one support Sect in the world!"
"Ten thousand years have passed, and you haven't even been able to keep the name 'Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School'!"
"That so-called Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit, has anyone else awakened it to this day?"
"No!"
Xuan Zi's words were like poisoned arrows, each one piercing the heart, stabbing directly at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's most painful scar:
"You bunch of people, guarding a defective Spirit, are just deceiving yourselves and others!"
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Seven Treasure Seven Treasure, destined to only have seven Spirit Rings!"
"No matter how hard you try, no matter how many resources you pile up, your limit is just a Seven-Ring Soul Sage!"
"The times have changed! The current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School simply has no qualifications to challenge Shrek Academy!"
Crazy! Xuan Zi was truly crazy!
Are these words that can be said?
This is simply tearing the face of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School off and throwing it on the ground to trample on! And it was in front of their young mistress!
This is forming a mortal enmity!
Ning Tian's face instantly turned pale as paper, her body trembling violently.
That was from anger, and also from being humiliated!
The Seven-Ring limit, this was the greatest pain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for ten thousand years, and it was the shadow in the heart of every disciple.
They had made countless efforts for this, tried countless methods, but were always unable to break this curse.
"You..."
Ning Tian pointed at Xuan Zi, unable to speak a complete sentence due to extreme anger.
"Young Mistress!"
Wu Feng, who was on the side, saw Ning Tian being humiliated, and her eyes instantly turned blood-red.
"Young Mistress, stop talking!"
"We shouldn't stay in this trashy place for even a moment longer!"
"They look down on us, they look down on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; that is because they are blind!"
"Let's go!"
After speaking, Wu Feng glared fiercely at Xuan Zi and Zhou Yi, that look as if she wanted to eat people.
Then, she pulled Ning Tian and rushed out of the office without looking back.
"Get lost! Get as far away as possible!"
Behind them came Xuan Zi's unbridled roar.
"After leaving Shrek, let's see what you can amount to!"
...
Outside Shrek City
Ning Tian and Wu Feng had already left by carriage. Ning Tian gritted her teeth, remembering the humiliation she had received today.
"Young Mistress, are we going back to the Sect now?" Wu Feng asked.
Now, the only path laid out before the two of them was to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Mm."
Ning Tian nodded.
"Let's go find something to eat nearby first."
As they spoke, the two got off the carriage and then headed to a place not far away to dine.
"Have you heard? There is also a Shrek Academy in the sky outside the Star Dou Great Forest. My uncle's son's cousin's girlfriend's second aunt's grandson also got in. I heard that person has three purple, three black, and three red Spirit Rings! Very awesome! And he even beat up the dean of the Spirit Department inside that Shrek City!"
Upon hearing this, both Ning Tian and Wu Feng were stunned. A Shrek Academy in the sky? And... a powerful Spirit Ring configuration? And they beat up the Shrek Academy dean!
"Let's go take a look."
Ning Tian slowly proposed.
