Sea God Pavilion Master?
"Wang Dong, are you saying that dormitory grandpa… is the Sea God Pavilion Master?"
Zhou Yi's face alternated between green and white.
That damned Wang Dong—why hadn't he explained things clearly from the beginning?!
If that old man was the Sea God Pavilion Master, and he had approved Tang Feng's leave—
Why did he keep calling him a dormitory uncle?!
"I—I didn't know either!"
"Tang Feng was the one who told me the old grandpa was a Titled Douluo!"
Wang Dong looked utterly innocent.
All of this information had come from Tang Feng afterward.
Otherwise, he would've been just as clueless as Zhou Yi.
"Du Weilun, come to the freshman dormitories."
Zhang Lexuan transmitted her voice directly.
Had the Outer Court really deteriorated to this extent?
Teachers and the Director of Studies collude together, expelling students at will—
even kicking the dormitory supervisor for no reason.
"Tang Feng, what are you laughing at?"
"You've already been expelled from the academy by Director Du. This is the proof."
Zhou Yi pointed at the expulsion notice.
Shrek Academy was a colossal institution.
It would never bow its head to a student.
Since Tang Feng had already been expelled by Du Weilun, he still had to be driven out.
If they expelled him and then recruited him back—
That would truly become a joke.
"Who gave you the authority to expel an Inner Court disciple?"
"Fan Yu, come here as well."
Zhang Lexuan's expression was ice-cold.
She sent another voice transmission—this time to Fan Yu of the Soul Tool Department.
The Sea God Pavilion had already reached a unanimous decision:
Tang Feng was to be exceptionally admitted as an Inner Court disciple.
The main reason was simple—
The Outer Court couldn't retain him.
The elders wanted to use Inner Court resources to keep Tang Feng within Shrek Academy.
No matter how one looked at it, Tang Feng possessed the potential to reach the pinnacle.
The biggest issue was his sense of belonging.
At present, he had none toward Shrek Academy.
The Sea God Pavilion still had work to do.
"Lexuan, what's going on?"
Du Weilun and Fan Yu arrived at Freshman Dormitory No. 108 almost simultaneously.
"I should be asking you that."
"Does the Director of Studies position mean so little now?"
"The Inner Court has plenty of people qualified to replace you."
Zhang Lexuan's tone was severe.
The two of them looked like they knew nothing, which disgusted her.
Before coming here, Mu Lao had already informed her of the dealings between Du Weilun and Fan Yu.
"These things were all forced on me by Zhou Yi!"
Du Weilun hurriedly distanced himself from the matter.
Clearly, Zhou Yi had kicked a steel plate this time—
and it was the Inner Court's Senior Sister no less.
"Lexuan, for my sake, please spare Zhou Yi this once."
Fan Yu still hadn't realized how serious the situation was.
He thought that, at most, some compensation would settle everything.
After all, Zhang Lexuan wouldn't completely disregard his face.
"It's precisely because of your protection that this happened."
"A mere Soul Emperor dares to use Shrek Academy's name to act tyrannically."
Zhang Lexuan was deeply disappointed.
Fan Yu was extraordinarily talented in soul tools and was almost guaranteed to become Vice Dean in the future—
But in terms of character, he was a complete failure.
Just like Zhou Yi.
"Lexuan, isn't this a bit too much?"
"Whoever Zhou Yi offended, we can compensate. Let's talk it out."
Fan Yu, being from the Soul Tool Department, was extremely wealthy.
Otherwise, Du Weilun wouldn't have repeatedly helped Zhou Yi clean up her messes in exchange for benefits.
"You are utterly lawless!"
"You not only expelled an Inner Court member, you even attempted to dismiss the Sea God Pavilion Master!"
"Who gave you that authority—Dean Yan, or Dean Xian?!"
Zhang Lexuan held up the expulsion notice.
This was the very document Du Weilun had signed to expel Tang Feng.
Otherwise, Zhou Yi wouldn't have dared to swagger into the freshman dormitory to do this.
"Mu… Mu Lao?"
Fan Yu was dumbfounded.
He had expected Zhou Yi to cause trouble—
but never imagined she'd tear a hole straight through the heavens.
Expelling an Inner Court disciple could still maybe be fixed with maneuvering.
But dismissing the Sea God Pavilion Master?
That was outright rebellion against heaven itself.
"Fan Yu, how was I supposed to know a dormitory old man was the Sea God Pavilion Master?"
"I expelled Tang Feng because he skipped class for two days!"
Zhou Yi looked aggrieved.
She believed her actions aligned perfectly with a teacher's professional standards.
The fault wasn't hers.
"Teacher Zhou, stop twisting the facts!"
"I helped Tang Feng request leave, but you kept pressing the issue, insisting he attend class or be expelled!"
"If not for that old grandpa, I would've disrupted Tang Feng's enlightenment and caused a catastrophe!"
Wang Dong spoke with righteous anger.
Especially today—
Tang Feng had stood in front of him, shielding and protecting him the entire time.
And remembering how close he'd come to ruining Tang Feng's opportunity—
His guilt turned into burning rage toward Zhou Yi.
"Wang Dong, this is none of your business."
Zhou Yi's face turned iron-blue.
This Wang Dong was another thorn—
joining Tang Feng in tearing down her authority as homeroom teacher.
"Enlightenment?"
Zhang Lexuan stared fixedly at Tang Feng.
This kid's opportunities were downright absurd.
First day at Shrek Academy, and he entered enlightenment?
Was it because of the Golden Tree?
With his Extreme Life attribute, only the Golden Tree could have triggered such a state.
"I'm not making things up."
"The old grandpa at the gate said so."
Wang Dong shrank behind Tang Feng.
For some reason, standing behind him made him feel inexplicably safe.
Tang Feng's not-so-large frame suddenly felt tall and unshakable.
"You three, come with me."
"This matter will be decided by Dean Yan and Dean Xian."
Zhang Lexuan didn't intend to bring such a trivial matter directly before the Sea God Pavilion.
"Get some rest."
"Once a decision is made, I'll inform you."
Zhang Lexuan took the three away.
Since this involved Mu Lao, it would never be handled lightly.
Shrek Academy's authority could not be challenged—
and neither could the authority of the Sea God Pavilion Master.
"She's finally going to suffer badly."
Wang Dong said with schadenfreude.
The pent-up frustration in his chest was finally released.
"Actually, she's Fan Yu's wife."
"She's a beauty—just disguised as an old witch."
Tang Feng patted his shoulder.
Wang Dong felt deceived yet again and found Zhou Yi even more detestable.
At that moment—
Tang Feng suddenly wrapped an arm around Wang Dong's shoulders, pulling him in close.
Very close.
"What are you doing?!"
Wang Dong clutched his chest.
He was terrified Tang Feng might notice something—
Had he discovered that he was cross-dressing as a boy?
"When you write to the Clear Sky Sect…"
"Could you also ask them to help me investigate something?"
Tang Feng remembered clearly—
The Clear Sky Sect was located near Heaven Dou City, and its influence there was still formidable.
Previously, he had asked Xu Jiawei to directly contact the Heavenly Soul Emperor—
to investigate whether any other Titled Douluo had been present on the day the Tang Sect was destroyed.
A single Nether Douluo could never have stood against Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe.
According to Xu Jiawei—
The Heavenly Soul Emperor, wary of Shrek Academy, had produced no results.
