Chapter 455 Each with Their Own Plans, Preparing for the Engagement.
"Hiss! This is a bit bad..."
"This is difficult..."
"Actually, it's not like there's no way..."
At this moment, in the dean's office, the Shrek Eight Monsters were all gathered around the table, each with a serious expression.
At this moment, Dai Mubai, who was hesitant, looked at the chessboard that had just been set up, his face full of worry. He glanced at Ma Hongjun opposite him, unable to make a move.
"Boss Dai, can you hurry up?"
Ma Hongjun was leisurely leaning back on the sofa, his face looking so smug that you wanted to punch him.
"Mubai, listen to me, play here."
Xuan Mo held a wine gourd in his right hand, had just taken a swig of wine, and saw Dai Mubai's hesitant look, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. Then, with his greasy right hand that was holding a chicken leg, he pointed to a spot on the chessboard and said excitedly.
But the result was that none of the others paid any attention to him, instead giving Xuan Mo a glare.
The reason was simple: everyone knew Xuan Mo well enough, but his chess skills were the worst among the Eight Eccentrics, and he loved to "gesticulate wildly." He was both terrible at chess and loved to play around.
"Don't give me that nonsense here, aren't you ashamed?"
Ning Rongrong looked at the excited Xuan Mo, somewhat speechless. So, she slapped his right hand.
"What's ashamed of? My chess skills are excellent!"
Faced with Xuan Mo's rebuttal, Ning Rongrong only gave him a look that seemed to say, "Can't you have some self-awareness?" but she still replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, your chess skills are very good..."
"Boss Dai, hurry up and make your move!"
Just as Ma Hongjun urged again, "Click..."
The sound of a door opening instantly drew Ma Hongjun's attention. Dai Mubai seized the opportunity to quickly switch the chess pieces, leaving the other six stunned.
However, they smiled and remained silent. After all, at this point, the game was essentially over.
Meanwhile, Flander and Zhao Wuji dragged their "tired" bodies into the office, followed by Liu Erlong, Li Yusong, Qin Ming, and other teachers, all suppressing their laughter.
The Shrek Eight Monsters, seeing this, mostly held back their laughter. But under the "angry glares" of Flander and Zhao Wuji, Xuanmo and Ma Hongjun quickly helped them to a sofa. Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing then made tea for the teachers…
After Flander took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, he glared "angrily" at the Shrek Eight Monsters.
"You little monsters are really something! But can our old arms and legs take this kind of torment?"
He glanced at Zhao Wuji, who was huddled to the side.
"Besides, your Teacher Zhao is getting old, doesn't he know how to respect his elders? Look at him, he's almost driven to despair by you all."
"Pfft...cough cough cough..." Hearing this, Zhao Wuji not only spat out a mouthful of water but also choked on it.
Before he could retort, Grandmaster, who had been silent until now, couldn't hold back any longer and immediately retorted, "Flander, you're really shameless. If two Title Douluos are driven to despair like this, that would be utterly ridiculous."
"Furthermore, if the strength of a Title Douluo is only this much...Flander, you're truly 'looked down upon'."
Seeing Flander chuckling, Grandmaster didn't pay him much attention, but simply turned to look at the Shrek Eight Monsters again.
"You've all really grown a lot in these five years!"
Grandmaster exclaimed, then his gaze fell on Xuanmo. "But what shocks me most is your growth. In terms of your martial soul, you've reached an evolution stronger than Xiao San's Blue Silver Emperor's second awakening. The god-level martial soul, Taotie, is terrifying. And if I'm not mistaken... your martial soul should have a domain, right?"
Xuanmo didn't deny it. After all, it would be quite unreasonable for a god-level martial soul not to have a domain.
With Flander just silenced after being teased by Grandmaster, Zhao Wuji put down his teacup and asked, "Little monsters, what are your plans next?"
As soon as Zhao Wuji asked this, all the Shrek Academy teachers' eyes turned to the Shrek Eight Monsters.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo immediately smiled and said, "Teacher Zhao, Rongrong and I plan to get engaged in the next few days."
"You little rascal," Zhao Wuji glared at him, annoyed. "Is that what I asked? Don't try to evade the question."
In truth, the teachers and students of the academy were all aware of the Shrek Eight Devils. From Xuan Mo's return to Shrek Academy to Ning Rongrong and Xuan Mo's engagement, it would only be a few days. After that, everyone would have their own things to attend to. Especially Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, whose identities were extraordinary, they couldn't stay at Shrek Academy for long.
So soon, it would be time for them to part again.
Xuan Mo, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar exchanged a glance and spoke first, "Dean, Teacher Zhao, we've traveled quite a bit these past few years. Except for my upcoming assessment, we won't be going anywhere else. After all, we still need to establish the Heavenly Heart Pavilion. So, we're definitely staying at the academy..."
Upon hearing this, Flander and Zhao Wuji's beards and eyebrows practically flew off their skin.
However, they still pretended to be reluctant, even somewhat disgusted, and waved their hands, "You guys are such a nuisance... Fine, you have some conscience, so stay if you want. The academy is already quite large and doesn't need three more freeloaders."
After saying this, they turned their gaze to Ning Rongrong. But it didn't need to be said; everyone knew Ning Rongrong's next plan. It was simply to inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and stay by Xuan Mo's side.
And what they heard from Ning Rongrong was indeed this.
"Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, you two are probably going back to prepare for inheriting that position, right?"
Hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Dai Mu Bai shook his head. "Not so soon. My old man is still quite energetic. Besides, I have no interest in the Star Luo throne. Zhu Qing and I are looking for exciting adventures right now."
After a pause, he looked at Xuan Mo and said, "Old Mo, you should let us know when you go to complete your training."
"No problem." Seeing the conversation between Xuan Mo and Dai Mu Bai, Oscar exclaimed in surprise, "Boss Dai, you really don't care about the throne?"
"Tch, what's so interesting about the throne? It's not as fun as our training."
Dai Mu Bai then showed a disdainful expression.
Everyone exchanged glances upon seeing this…
