Watching Da Ming lead Wang Donger away, Er Ming was locked in a Confinement Room.
Bei Bei, whose nerves had been tightly strung, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Sigh..."
Bei Bei rubbed his throbbing temples, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"This time, we've truly offended the other side deeply."
Especially Da Ming's gaze just now; it seemed a bit off, but he couldn't worry about that much right now.
The current priority was still the task Mu En had entrusted to them.
Bei Bei turned around, looked at Qian Duoduo, and hurriedly lowered his voice to remind him:
"Dean Qian, business first."
Qian Duoduo nodded, regaining his noble air as the Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department of Shrek Academy.
He turned around and looked at Zhang Yang.
"Ahem."
Qian Duoduo cleared his throat. "Regarding what just happened, since the fine has been paid, that chapter is closed."
"Now, I have serious business to discuss with you." Speaking to this point, Qian Duoduo puffed out his chest slightly, his chin tilted up, and said in an unquestionable tone, "I want to meet the Dean of your academy."
He did not directly refer to this place as "Shrek Academy. Was he joking? In his understanding, there was only one Shrek Academy on the entire continent, and that was the glorious holy land with a ten-thousand-year heritage where he resided.
This pheasant academy that had popped up out of nowhere actually dared to publicly misappropriate the name "Shrek," which already made him very unhappy.
If it weren't to save people, he would have brought men to smash this signboard long ago; how could he possibly address them with respect?
Therefore, he deliberately used the term "your academy" to draw a clear line and state his position.
"I am here representing Shrek Academy. There are matters regarding your school's detention of our personnel that need to be discussed with your Dean in person."
After speaking, Qian Duoduo crossed his arms, waiting confidently for the other party's response. In his view, he was the dignified Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department of Shrek Academy, a powerhouse at the Titled Douluo level.
Now that he had revealed his identity, the other party would surely go to report it, right? Although this school indeed had some tricks up its sleeve and could even take down Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe, in Qian Duoduo's eyes, that was just how it was.
After all, those two were unreliable, and their academy still had the great god Mu En presiding over it. However, Zhang Yang didn't even lift his head.
"Do you have an appointment?"
Qian Duoduo's expression froze instantly. An appointment? Had he heard correctly? He, Qian Duoduo, representing Shrek Academy on a visit, actually needed an appointment?!
"You... what did you say?" Qian Duoduo's eyes widened as he looked at Zhang Yang in disbelief.
"Didn't you hear me clearly? I said, if you want to see our Dean, do you have a prior appointment? If there is no appointment, then please leave."
"The Dean is occupied with a myriad of affairs and has no time to see random people."
"Random people?! Do you know who I am?!"Qian Duoduo finally couldn't hold back. "I am the Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department of Shrek Academy!"
"I represent the number one academy on the Douluo Continent today—Shrek Academy!"
"You actually ask me if I have an appointment?!"
However, facing Qian Duoduo's rage, Zhang Yang's face showed no fluctuation; even the corner of his mouth curled into a faint, mocking arc.
"The number one academy on the Douluo Continent is indeed Shrek Academy."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Qian Duoduo's expression softened slightly, thinking this kid at least had some insight.
But immediately after, Zhang Yang's second half of the sentence nearly caused Qian Duoduo to explode on the spot."However. It is not the Counterfeit Shrek Academy that you represent."
Boom!
These words were like a heavy bomb exploding directly in Qian Duoduo's mind.
What did he mean?
It wasn't them?
And he called them a pirate version?
"Bullshit!"
Qian Duoduo laughed out of extreme anger, his finger trembling as he pointed at Zhang Yang.
"What arrogance!"
"It seems you truly don't know the difference of the heavens and earth!"
If facing Er Ming, Qian Duoduo might still have been intimidated.
But facing such an ordinary Titled Douluo?
Hmph!
Although Qian Duoduo was the Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department, he was still a Titled Douluo from Shrek Academy!
Who from Shrek Academy wasn't a genius? Who didn't have the ability to challenge those above their level?
In his view, the Titled Douluo outside were all low-quality, while only Shrek's Titled Douluo were the elite!
Furthermore,as the saying goes, one takes on the color of one's company.
Who did Qian Duoduo hang out with daily?
Yan Shaozhe! Xuan Zi!
After hanging out with this group for so long, Qian Duoduo's bones had naturally been stained with a bit of banditry and arrogance.
If Mu En hadn't repeatedly warned him before coming not to easily stir up trouble and to prioritize the big picture, he would have made a move long ago!
Seeing that Qian Duoduo was angry, Bei Bei quickly made a hand gesture.
"I won't get into a war of words with you."
"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said."
"Now, immediately, right away! Go report to your Dean!"
"Tell him that Qian Duoduo, Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department of Shrek Academy, wants to see him!" He had already made the greatest concession.
He wouldn't lower himself to the level of this gatekeeper. However, Zhang Yang seemed to have no intention of giving him face at all.
"I said just now, no appointment, no meeting." Zhang Yang paused, lifted his eyelids, and said indifferently, "Moreover... if you want to see our Dean, then have the person with the most authority in your Shrek Academy come to make the appointment."
"Only a person of that level is qualified to speak with our Dean."Hearing this, Qian Duoduo and Bei Bei beside him were both stunned.
The person with the most authority?
Who was that?
That was the Pavilion Mater of the Sea God Pavilion, the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En!
He was the strongest Limit Douluo on the Douluo Continent today!
The stabilizing force of Shrek Academy!
This Zhang Yang actually wanted Mu En to personally come and make an appointment before they could meet?
Qian Duoduo was furious."This is absolutely preposterous!"
"Have our Master of the Sea God Pavilion personally come to see your Dean?"
"What kind of thing is your Dean?!"
"Even the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't dare say he'd make Elder Mu personally come to see him!"
This was no longer just arrogance. This was simply an insult to Shrek Academy, to Mu En, and to the Sea Gods Pavilion! What a noble status Elder Mu held!
He rarely even left the Sea Gods Pavilion; how could he possibly lower himself to come here for such a shabby, pirated academy? And he had to make an appointment?
If this got out, where would Shrek Academy's ten thousand years of face go? Qian Duoduo's face turned the color of pig liver.
He pointed at Zhang Yang, his tone becoming unprecedentedly cold and hostile. "I'm telling you, I'm seeing this Dean today, no matter what!"
"As the Vice Dean of Shrek Academy and a member of the Sea Gods Pavilion, I am fully qualified to represent Shrek Academy!"
"Asking me to invite the Pavilion Master to visit here?"
"In your dreams!"
"This is a trampling of Shrek Academy's dignity! Absolutely not!"
Bei Bei hurriedly spoke from the side: "Dean Qian holds a high position in the academy and is fully capable of taking full responsibility for this matter."
Zhang Yang still indicated it was not possible. "If you insist on seeing the Dean, fine. Fight me. If you win, I'll report to the Dean. If you lose, you can go stay in the Confinement Room as well."
