Chapter 434 Traveling with Shrek
"What are you laughing at?"
Seeing Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun grinning, Zhao Wuji was furious and slapped Ma Hongjun hard on the back of the head.
"I just lay down and you guys are already causing trouble. Can't you pick a better time this late at night? Go back to sleep, all of you."
The blow to the back of his head made Ma Hongjun stagger. Clutching his buzzing, chubby head, he muttered in a low, aggrieved voice:
"Oh? But we haven't had dinner yet."
Zhao Wuji angrily rebuked:
"Eat, eat, eat, what's there to eat? There's no need to eat anymore."
Ma Hongjun looked aggrieved.
"Oh"
Dai Mubai's lips twitched. The food they ordered hadn't even been served yet, and they had already paid for it, and it was his money that had been paid. Wouldn't it be a waste to just let it go to waste?
Besides, everyone has been traveling all day and is exhausted. If they don't eat something hot to warm their stomachs, are they going to go back and eat dry rations?
Dai Mubai was speechless, but dared not say anything more, for fear that Zhao Wuji would lose his temper and ask him to go out for a sword fight, uh, to practice.
Seeing this, the mischievous rabbit Xiao Wu poked her head out from behind Tang San and chuckled.
Hearing the laughter, Zhao Wuji suddenly turned his head and looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu:
"And you two, that little girl from Canghui Academy is just a support-type Soul Master, she has no combat ability. Besides, she turned and ran away, so you two should just take her down."
"Why use such extreme force, putting someone to death?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu froze, their smiles instantly turning to silence.
Zhao Wuji continued speaking without stopping:
"We're here to hunt for spirit rings, not to kill people."
"Provocation, picking fights, and causing trouble are all acceptable. After all, you are all monsters. There's nothing more to say. This is also a kind of training for you."
"However, there's no need to kill those who pose no threat to you."
At this point, Zhao Wuji gave Tang San and Xiao Wu a deep look:
"I know you have a grudge against those two and want to use that girl from Canghui Academy to get revenge on them, but that's shameful. What kind of talk is it to resort to underhanded tricks to cause trouble?"
"If you're going to cause trouble, then do it openly and honestly. Don't resort to these underhanded tactics, understand?"
After being criticized by Zhao Wuji, the rogue rabbit puffed up his cheeks, his face full of resentment. He was about to retort when Tang San stopped him.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao, we'll be more careful next time."
Tang San bowed to Zhao Wuji with a humble and receptive expression, but a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes as he lowered his head.
As for who that cold glint was aimed at, only Tang San himself knew.
"The other woman."
Seeing Tang San actually back down and apologize, Xiao Wu pouted and gave a coquettish look. Only after Tang San tugged at her little hand again did she reluctantly utter a cold, emotionless sentence:
"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Zhao Wuji didn't bother arguing with them too much, knowing that the little monsters all had their own tempers, and waved his hand at the four of them:
"Okay, go take a rest."
"Yes, Teacher Zhao."
Helpless, Dai Mubai could only turn around and walk towards the stairwell with Ma Hongjun, who had suddenly become listless, as well as Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Oscar quickly followed, blinking his mischievous peach blossom eyes, and stuffed a large, restorative sausage into the mouths of Tang San and the other three.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Ning Rongrong could only leave the table hungry and follow them.
As they passed Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing, the Shrek Seven Devils exchanged glances, each with a different look in their eyes.
Ye Qifeng wore a faint smile, but the look in his eyes was somewhat enigmatic, making it impossible to discern what he meant.
Looking at Shrek Academy and his group, Zhu Zhuqing remained silent with a cold face, but the murderous intent in her eyes clearly revealed her thoughts.
Especially when facing Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun.
…………
After watching the six Shrek monsters go upstairs, Zhao Wuji walked to the dining table where Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing were, but he had no intention of apologizing on behalf of Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Zhao Wuji has a fierce appearance, an arrogant personality, and acts domineeringly and recklessly. He is also extremely protective of his students, believing that they are never wrong and at most can only be considered to have made mistakes.
He believed that he had already taught Tang San and Xiao Wu a lesson, and that the matter was over and there was no need to pursue it any further.
Moreover, only he can discipline his students; no one else is allowed to touch them.
Pretending not to see the coldness in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Zhao Wuji asked her:
"Young lady, didn't you pass the practical assessment the other day? Why didn't you enroll at Shrek Academy?"
Zhao Wuji was also someone who cherished talent, and he greatly admired Zhu Zhuqing, this exceptionally gifted young girl.
Of the four people who participated in the assessment that day, Zhu Zhuqing was the one he admired the most.
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent with a cold face, seemingly unwilling to acknowledge him. However, Ye Qifeng spoke calmly, offering a simple reply:
"She doesn't like your college because it's too run-down."
"this"
Zhao Wuji felt embarrassed and scratched the back of his head. Shrek Academy could only operate in a small village due to a shortage of funds, and the conditions were indeed not very good.
However, Shrek Academy does have its advantages, namely, it has a very strong teaching staff. The teachers are all quite capable and can easily teach a few little monsters.
If only we could recruit this little girl back to Shrek Academy.
In this way, the other six little monsters and this little girl can form a complete team.
just
This little girl doesn't seem to like Shrek Academy, and she has grudges against Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun. Just now, those two bastards, Tang San and Xiao Wu, provoked her.
Judging from her icy expression and murderous look, she had clearly been provoked.
This is a bit difficult. Trying to persuade her to join Shrek Academy now is definitely not going to work.
Hmm, maybe we can find an opportunity to let her understand the benefits of joining Shrek Academy, but that will require some time to get to know her.
By the way, her soul power is level 30. Her presence here now is probably also for hunting soul rings in the Star Dou Great Forest. Perhaps...
Zhao Wuji's mind raced, and suddenly a good idea came to him. He immediately and abruptly changed the subject, saying:
"You guys must have gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, right?"
As Zhao Wuji spoke, he glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then at Ye Qifeng.
Of course, this question was mainly directed at Ye Qifeng.
Zhao Wuji had already realized that the ice-cold-faced girl in front of him clearly prioritized her "brother" Ye Qifeng and seemed to care a lot about his opinions.
Seeing Ye Qifeng smile and nod in agreement, Zhao Wuji laughed and suggested:
"Haha, what a coincidence! We're also here to hunt for spirit rings. Why don't you come with us?"
Ye Qifeng slurped up a mouthful of the fragrant juices from the spicy rabbit head, his eyes brightening slightly as he looked at Zhao Wuji with some surprise:
"Oh? You're inviting us to come along?"
Zhao Wuji nodded and grinned, saying:
"The Star Dou Great Forest is an extremely dangerous place. Soul beasts roam freely there, and there are also some soul masters who specialize in robbing others. Perhaps your strength is not bad, but there are only two of you. If you enter the Star Dou Great Forest like this, it is difficult not to encounter danger."
"If you come with us, you'll be safer, since there's strength in numbers."
"So, how about coming with us?"
Before Ye Qifeng could speak, Zhao Wuji pounded his thick chest twice with his hand:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of your safety."
"Whatever spirit beasts you need to hunt, Shrek Academy will help you find and hunt them."
"You all just saw the strength of my students. Each one of them is a little monster. Hunting down a thousand-year-old soul beast for you is a piece of cake."
Ye Qifeng understood that Zhao Wuji was saying all this because he was impressed by Zhu Zhuqing's talent and wanted to recruit her into Shrek Academy.
From Zhao Wuji's frequent glances at Zhu Zhuqing while he was speaking, his intentions were clearly evident.
Faced with Zhao Wuji's suggestion, Zhu Zhuqing remained unmoved, not even glancing at him, and sat down to gnaw on the roasted rabbit she hadn't finished eating.
"Since Teacher Zhao has extended such a warm invitation, how could we refuse? We agree to go to the Star Dou Great Forest with you."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and agreed to Zhao Wuji's suggestion.
His original plan was to secretly follow Shrek Academy's group to the Star Dou Great Forest.
But now...
Night Wind decides to change his plans.
Since there's a legitimate opportunity to infiltrate Shrek Academy's team, why not take it?
Therefore, Ye Qifeng readily agreed.
"Then it's settled. We'll meet at the restaurant downstairs first thing tomorrow morning and set off together."
Hearing Ye Qifeng agree, Zhao Wuji was also pleased. As long as he had time, he wasn't afraid of being fooled, or rather, he wasn't afraid of failing to recruit Zhu Zhuqing to Shrek Academy.
"Okay, let's meet up and set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Ye Qifeng nodded.
Having settled the matter, Zhao Wuji did not linger any longer and went upstairs to rest, satisfied.
…………
"Brother Ye, why do we have to go with them? Those people from Shrek Academy are disgusting."
After Zhao Wuji left, Zhu Zhuqing's oily red lips twitched slightly as she asked the question that had been bothering her.
Taking a bite of the tender meat on the spicy rabbit head, Ye Qifeng looked up at Zhu Zhuqing sitting opposite him and explained gently:
"Because there are some things that need to be done with them. This is a plan that Elder Ghost and I made a long time ago. As for the details, well, I'll tell you in detail later."
"Let's focus on eating now and not let them affect our mood."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes lit up. She was incredibly curious. Did Brother Ye and her teacher have other goals besides hunting for their third spirit ring when they went to the Star Dou Great Forest?
Although she really wanted to know what Ye Qifeng and Elder Gui were planning, Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and said "Mmm".
"Don't just eat roasted rabbit, come on, try this."
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng placed a spicy rabbit head into Zhu Zhuqing's bowl.
"Mmm—this is so delicious!"
Zhu Zhuqing picked it up and took a bite. Immediately afterward, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, as if a door to a new world had opened.
…………
Early the next morning.
The sun rose in the east as usual, and the weather was excellent.
Ye Qifeng led Zhu Zhuqing downstairs to the first-floor restaurant, where they unexpectedly encountered a group from Canghui Academy.
The seven students from Canghui Academy all appeared to have received treatment and their injuries had healed.
The girl who was most seriously injured was also fine, except that her face was a little pale.
At this moment, the seven students from Canghui Academy were sitting around Ye Zhi Qiu, seemingly discussing something.
The six male trainees all looked serious, but the female trainee seemed distracted, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the stairwell, as if she were waiting for something.
Having been through similar experiences, Ye Zhi Qiu naturally understood the girl's situation and didn't bother with her. He continued to fulfill his duties as the team leader, teaching the six male students about the Star Dou Great Forest and the precautions to take.
Seeing Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing come down from upstairs, the female student's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately got up from her seat and ran towards Ye Qifeng.
"Um... hello, Teacher Ye told me that you saved me yesterday, thank you so much."
Upon approaching Ye Qifeng, the female student tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her pretty face slightly flushed, and thanked him in a shy and reserved tone.
"Oh, it's you. You're welcome. It was nothing."
Ye Qifeng was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him. He quickly realized that she was the only female student of Canghui Academy.
"Here, take this."
Suddenly, the female student pulled something out and quickly stuffed it into Ye Qifeng's hand. Then, covering her flushed face, she ran back to the table at Canghui Academy.
Ye Qifeng looked down at the extra thing in his hand.
It was a folded piece of paper, um, pink.
Upon opening the package and glancing at its contents, Ye Qifeng's expression immediately turned strange.
The paper was covered with small, elegant handwriting; it was the girl's self-introduction, including her name, background, and detailed addresses of her home and college.
The girl's account was extremely detailed; she seemed to want to break down and scribble down all her information onto paper, even including her body measurements.
At the end of the paper, two small pink hearts were drawn, strung together by a matching pink arrow; the meaning of this is self-evident.
It's obvious that this is a love letter.
Watching the girl leave shyly, Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside her, pouted, feeling a little unhappy for some reason.
Seeing Ye Qifeng looking at a piece of paper with a subtle expression, she also leaned over to take a look.
Upon seeing this, my mood immediately worsened.
However, upon seeing the numbers written on the paper, Zhu Zhuqing's confidence immediately surged. She subconsciously puffed out her chest, slightly raised her chin, and glared at the departing female student from Canghui Academy, her eyes seeming to say:
"If you want to covet my Brother Ye, you'll have to get past me first."
…………
After handing out her love letter, the female student returned to her table at Canghui Academy, where she was quickly teased and ridiculed by six male students, making her feel even more ashamed.
In the end, it was Ye Zhi Qiu who stepped in and stopped the students from causing trouble.
Not long after, he left the restaurant with the female students who kept turning back, looking reluctant to part, and six male students who were clearly starting to get jealous, seemingly heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing that the female student from Canghui Academy had finally left the hotel, Zhu Zhuqing gently patted her towering breasts and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
