Chapter 296: Mu En: A Thief Has Broken Into Our Shrek!
After an unknown amount of time, Mu En finally wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Young Master Wu, you colluded with an evil god from another world and forcibly seized Shrek's foundation. This old man is not done with you!"
After inwardly cursing Xiao Wu, Mu En's expression became extremely cold, and his eyes revealed overwhelming fury.
He slowly walked out of the Golden Ancient Tree and once again summoned a Sea God Pavilion meeting.
Not long afterward, the Sea God Pavilion meeting officially began.
After all the senior elders arrived, they saw Mu En sitting in the first seat, and all of them were startled.
Because they discovered that there was a fist imprint on Mu En's face, and even his chin had been dented inward.
"Elder Mu, you...?"
Xuan Zi saw this scene, and he even forgot to bite into the large chicken leg in his hand as he could not help but ask.
Mu En seemed to recall what Xiao Wu had just done, and his emotions were extremely unstable, like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
"Our Shrek Academy has been robbed!"
"Young Master Wu from the outer courtyard colluded with an evil god from another world, injured this old man, and forcibly seized the foundation that Shrek's ancestors left behind in the Ancient Golden Tree. His crimes are unforgivable."
"Today, I have summoned this Sea God Pavilion meeting precisely because of Young Master Wu, who colluded with an evil god from another world."
"From today onward, Shrek will issue a wanted order for him across the entire continent. Anyone who provides specific information about Young Master Wu will be rewarded with one million gold soul coins."
"Anyone who can kill Young Master Wu and bring his head to Shrek will be rewarded with a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, ten million gold soul coins, and a favor from Shrek."
"I, Mu En, want that Young Master Wu... dead!!!"
Mu En shouted through gritted teeth.
He had never held such tremendous hatred toward anyone.
Not even Bibi Dong and Zi Ji, nor Di Tian and the other fierce beasts, nor Ye Qingxian and the Pill Hall.
But Young Master Wu was different.
This person had infiltrated Shrek Academy, colluded with an evil god from another world, and taken away all the treasures within the Ancient Golden Tree.
He had completely and utterly trampled the dignity of Mu En, the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, into the ground.
As for Young Master Wu, Mu En would absolutely never forgive him!
"Teacher, I understand."
Although Yan Shaozhe was extremely shocked by this news, he could hear the overwhelming fury in Mu En's words.
Ever since he had known his teacher Mu En, this was the first time he had seen Mu En display such tremendous anger.
"Also, my days are numbered."
"Young Master Wu is an infiltrator, Wang Dong is the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, and our Shrek has already reached the point where we have no successor."
"For this reason, I have decided to designate Lexuan as the next-generation Master of the Sea God Pavilion. Once Lexuan reaches the Super Douluo realm, she will officially inherit the position of Master of the Sea God Pavilion."
Mu En spoke and settled the succession of the position of Master of the Sea God Pavilion.
With Zhang Lexuan's talent, reaching the Super Douluo realm would not be difficult. Reaching the Peak Douluo realm would have some difficulty, while reaching the Limit Douluo realm was practically impossible.
But Mu En had no other choice.
After learning that Young Master Wu was an infiltrator, the only person Mu En could place his hopes on was Zhang Lexuan.
He had already made plans for Zhang Lexuan's future cultivation.
Zhang Lexuan was currently a Soul Douluo.
Before his death, he would obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring for Zhang Lexuan.
After his death, he would give all of his hundred-thousand-year soul bones to Zhang Lexuan, allowing her to rapidly reach the Titled Douluo realm.
After that, Shrek Academy would obtain another hundred-thousand-year soul ring for Zhang Lexuan, allowing Zhang Lexuan to become a Titled Douluo with two hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
In that case, it would not be long before Zhang Lexuan could break through to the Super Douluo realm.
Mu En felt that if Xuan Zi became the Master of the Sea God Pavilion and led Shrek Academy, major problems would inevitably arise.
He could only accelerate Zhang Lexuan's growth and allow her to become a Super Douluo as soon as possible.
After the Sea God Pavilion meeting ended, Shrek quickly issued a wanted order for Young Master Wu across the entire continent.
However, Shrek Academy did not give a detailed explanation of Young Master Wu's actions.
After all, this would affect Shrek Academy's reputation.
Instead, Shrek described the wanted order like this:
Young Master Wu had colluded with an evil god from another world and attempted to overthrow Shrek Academy and the Douluo Continent, but Shrek Academy had seen through everything with clear insight and exposed Young Master Wu's true identity in time.
On the other side, Xiao Wu and Wang Dong, who had already arrived at the Nine Treasure Empire, also learned about the wanted order issued by Shrek Academy.
"Hmph, that detestable Shrek Academy. You've brought death upon yourselves!"
"Clearly, you tried to forcibly brainwash Young Master Wu and failed, yet now you're actually trying to turn the tables and blame everything on her. You're truly unworthy of being the number one academy on the continent."
After hearing this news, Wang Dong immediately stood up for Xiao Wu.
"Wang Dong, there's no need to be angry. This is simply how Shrek Academy operates."
"However, I think it won't be long before Shrek Academy receives the retribution it deserves."
Xiao Wu did not care in the slightest. Shrek's wanted order was completely useless against her.
"By the way, I'll take you to meet my bestie."
Xiao Wu seemed to remember something and happily said to Wang Dong.
"Bestie?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's way of addressing this person, Wang Dong found it rather strange.
However, Wang Dong quickly guessed that this best friend was probably the girl named "Rongrong" whom Young Master Wu had mentioned before.
"Should I confess my identity to Young Master Wu?"
At this moment, Wang Dong's heart was caught in a struggle.
Now that Young Master Wu had returned to the force she belonged to, if she did not take the initiative to fight for her chance, that ethereal love would only drift farther and farther away from her.
"It's decided. I'll confess everything tonight!"
Wang Dong's gaze became resolute.
Afterward, Xiao Wu took Wang Dong toward the imperial palace of Nine Treasure City.
Several hours later, after going through several procedures, Xiao Wu finally proved her identity.
Wang Dong, standing beside her, looked at Xiao Wu with an expression of helplessness.
"Young Master Wu, are you really from the Nine Treasure Empire? Why do you still need to prove your identity?"
Xiao Wu scratched her head and said:
"Wang Dong, don't worry about the process. Isn't the result the same anyway?"
After saying this, Xiao Wu pulled Wang Dong toward the palace where Ning Rongrong, the Nine Treasure Empress, resided.
After entering Ning Rongrong's palace, Xiao Wu finally met her best friend, whom she had not seen for so long.
"Rongrong, I missed you so much!"
Xiao Wu happily ran toward Ning Rongrong, wanting to give her best friend a big hug.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong also noticed Xiao Wu entering the palace.
Although Xiao Wu was currently disguised as a man, Ning Rongrong recognized her best friend at a glance.
"Xiao Wu, I missed you so much, too."
Ning Rongrong also ran toward Xiao Wu.
When the two met, they gave each other a big hug.
"Xiao Wu, you caused such a huge commotion in Shrek."
"Now you've even become the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent. I'm so jealous!"
After embracing, Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu with an expression full of envy.
She had heard about Xiao Wu's contributions from her teacher, Ye Qingxian. Xiao Wu was definitely a great contributor to the Spirit Empire.
"Hehe, it's nothing worth mentioning."
Although Xiao Wu said this, her face was filled with pride.
Just as the two were chatting intimately, Wang Dong suddenly spoke from not far away:
"Young Master Wu, I'm still here, you know."
