Chapter 118 The Arrival of Shrek
Chapter 118 The Arrival of Shrek
No one is the center of the world, and the sun will still rise and set as usual.
More than a month has passed.
"Is this the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
As the sun began to set, Shrek and his companions, after nearly ten days of arduous travel, finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Flander stared in disbelief at the beautiful scenery nestled against the mountains and beside the water, as well as the college buildings that were faintly visible in the distance.
Compared to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Shrek Academy's environment and conditions are simply not comparable.
This is so grand!
"The Royal Academy has hundreds of simulated training grounds, so the area it needs is naturally astonishing." The master said calmly. He had been to Martial Soul City, so the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was not surprising to him.
"Alright, let's hurry up the mountain, it's getting late." The master urged, and everyone perked up and began to head towards the main campus halfway up the mountain.
"I never thought we'd be back." Ning Rongrong sighed, hugging Zhu Zhuqing's arm. She had never imagined she'd be coming back after taking a leave of absence from school. "I wonder if Mingfei will come to welcome us."
As soon as he said that, the boys' faces immediately darkened.
Although two months have passed, the battle is still vivid in their minds, and they always have a slight reaction to the name.
However, since they were already on the Royal Academy's territory, there was no point in trying to deceive themselves.
Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled, while Xiao Wu looked somewhat angry. She subconsciously touched her ponytail, as Lu Mingfei had cut off a section of her scorpion tail whip last time, and it would probably take a year or two to grow back.
"Rongrong?"
As soon as the group arrived at the school gate, Xue Beng and his underlings saw Ning Rongrong, whom they hadn't seen for many years, and immediately rushed forward to welcome her.
"Avalanche, it's been a long time." Ning Rongrong smiled and responded, then introduced him to everyone: "This is His Highness Avalanche, the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Avalanche, these are my teachers and classmates from Shrek Academy. We joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy at the invitation of His Majesty Xue Ye."
A prince? Tang San hadn't expected that he would be greeted by a prince from the Heaven Dou Kingdom, but considering that Dai Mubai was also a prince, he wasn't too surprised.
More than a month ago, all the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy learned that an academy called Shrek would merge with them and become the second team in the Soul Master Competition.
Xue Beng had been specifically warned by Xue Ye not to provoke the other party, and with Ning Rongrong around, he naturally swallowed those petty words in his heart.
"So it's you all from Shrek Academy. I've heard Teacher Qin Ming mention you. Welcome, welcome. I'll have someone go and call him right away."
"Then thank you, Avalanche." Frande's tone was indifferent, showing little interest in the so-called Fourth Prince. They would be teachers at the Royal Academy in the future, so there was no need to use honorifics when addressing a student.
Xue Beng wasn't annoyed by this attitude, but the fact that his father, Emperor Xue Ye, valued it so much, even to the point that Ning Rongrong was being asked to find a young sect leader for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and that he was personally going to invite him, showed that the importance of this Shrek Academy was probably no less than that of a Title Douluo.
However, he only had someone take him to the main campus reception room and then left. He was afraid that too much contact would ruin Xue Qinghe's impression of him as a playboy.
"This is the quality of students at the Royal Academy." Dai Mubai couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark after everyone had left. As a fellow prince, he naturally disliked the other party.
"Alright, this is someone else's territory, behave yourself." Zhao Wuji patted Dai Mubai's head. "A Star Luo prince had better not be arrogant in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, or you'll regret it."
"Why would I be afraid of them? They're just a bunch of ugly ducklings."
"Really? Little Bai, next time you dare say that in front of Lu Mingfei." Zhao Wuji retorted without giving him any face.
Meanwhile, news of Shrek Academy's entry into the school spread through the cafeteria as night fell.
Lu Mingfei didn't care at all. Apart from Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, he and the other people from Shrek Academy were probably incompatible and couldn't stand each other. Even if he went to welcome them, they would probably find him annoying.
Just treat them like ordinary classmates and be wary of them.
In addition, he also wanted to see just how strong Tang San's protagonist fate was, more than a year before the Soul Master Competition.
According to his prediction, the Ice and Fire Dragon King fossil in Sunset Forest was originally intended for the three main characters, Tang. However, Lu Mingze has now moved it all away, and he doesn't know if some new and powerful cheat will fall from the sky to make up for it.
If even a treasure like the Ice and Fire Dragon King fossil can be easily replaced by something else, then Tang San's protagonist halo is probably far more terrifying than he imagined.
Then he'll probably have to keep his distance from the other party even more, otherwise who knows if his luck as the original protagonist will inexplicably make him unlucky.
However, Lu Mingfei clearly forgot one thing: Stand users are attracted to each other.
The next morning, when Lu Mingfei was still half asleep, there was a knock at the door. It was neither too loud nor too soft, like the incessant chirping of cicadas outside the window on a summer day, a sound that inexplicably tickled his heart.
"Coming, coming, stop rushing me!" Lu Mingfei shouted impatiently, rubbing his messy hair as he got out of bed to open the door. How could someone who's already cheating not slack off?
But as soon as the door opened, the morning light shone on his face, making him feel inexplicably dizzy and disoriented.
"Excuse me, what time is it? What are you doing?" Lu Mingfei blurted out.
If he hadn't entered the Inception space, the school's 7 a.m. wake-up bell probably wouldn't have rung yet.
But who can tell him why Xue Qinghe would knock on his door so early?
"It should be 6:30. I knocked on your door to wake you up and invite you to have breakfast together." Xue Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Lu Mingfei's bewildered expression.
He thought that a genius like Lu Mingfei would have long since replaced sleep with meditation, but he never expected that he would be so drowsy.
Is the Heavenly Dou Empire going bankrupt? The imperial palace can't even afford breakfast anymore?
Lu Mingfei resisted the urge to roll his eyes and looked away at the swaying sycamore tree next to the dormitory building, its leaves filled with dappled sunlight.
"I knew Shrek Academy arrived last night, and I came to welcome them today as a representative of the royal family. I didn't even have time to eat before I rushed over from the palace by carriage. I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so unwelcoming to me. It seems I'd better leave." Xue Qinghe shook his head, feigning sadness.
These words echoed in Lu Mingfei's mind, and Lin Daiyu's voice suddenly played automatically: You must be tired, to give me such a perfunctory reply.
"Damn it! Bro! Can't you talk normally?" Lu Mingfei shuddered. "It's just a meal, is it really that big of a deal?"
"Of course, you'll have to come with me later. As the designated face of the Royal Academy, you don't want them to look down on our academy, right?" Xue Qinghe raised an eyebrow.
Lu Mingfei vowed that from now on, "thick eyebrows and big eyes" would be a derogatory term for him, and he would shave off Xue Qinghe's eyebrows one day.
