Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 113 Give me face

After Wu Changkong followed Shen Yi into Shrek Academy, they arrived at the entrance of the inner courtyard.

Upon hearing that the teacher lived in the inner courtyard, he knelt down there.

After a long while, Shen Yi, who had gone to inform the teacher, returned, pale-faced and trembling: "The teacher doesn't want to see you."

"Hmm." Wu Changkong remained kneeling, his expression calm.

"The teacher said you have to kneel here."

These words made Wu Changkong somewhat happy. It was better for the teacher to be angry than to ignore him; at least he still had a chance.

"Thank you, Shen Yi." He straightened his chest.

“Senior brother, our teacher is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He couldn’t hide his surprise when I mentioned you earlier. I’ll try to persuade him again, and he will definitely forgive you,” Shen Yi said.

Wu Changkong gently shook his head: "I am not qualified to ask for the teacher's forgiveness. I will leave the assessment of my students to you tomorrow."

"Don't worry." Shen Yi nodded and turned to leave.

Time passed, and Wu Changkong remained kneeling there.

Students kept passing by, and a gentle breeze blew by. He gradually calmed down and recalled his own school days.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, making his heart skip a beat.

"Huh? What are you doing here?"

Su Qiu walked over and deliberately circled Wu Changkong, who was kneeling on the ground, twice, raising his eyebrows high: "Teacher Wu, are you cosplaying a statue? Or has Shrek Academy's assessment started early, and the subject is 'the longer you kneel, the higher your score'?"

Wu Changkong suddenly looked up and saw that Su Qiushi's eyes were full of astonishment. He then said in a deep voice, "How did you end up here?"

While surprised, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.

When your buddy sees you being sentimental, it's really...
"I was just browsing around since I had nothing else to do." Su Qiu shrugged, took a step to the side, and revealed Ya Li behind him.

"Look, this is the tour guide I found."

Ya Li nodded slightly to Wu Changkong, her voice gentle: "You are Wu Changkong? I remember you, it's been a long time."

Tour guide?

Who is this tour guide?!
Wu Changkong's pupils contracted slightly, not expecting that Su Qiu could actually have the Holy Spirit Douluo personally accompany him.

He was about to speak when his cheeks inexplicably felt hot. Su Qiu had seen him in his current state, which made him, who was usually aloof and arrogant, feel a little embarrassed.

"Your Holiness the Holy Spirit." Wu Changkong suppressed his unease, his voice barely managing to remain steady.

Seeing his seemingly calm but actually panicked demeanor, Su Qiu deliberately leaned close to his ear and said, "Teacher, who are you apologizing to? You're kneeling so perfectly. Should I call the guys from Class Zero to come and learn from you?"

"Shut up." Wu Changkong glared at him, her eyes carrying a hint of warning.

I'm not teasing him anymore.

Su Qiu looked at Ya Li: "Your Holiness, my teacher is kneeling here like this, which makes me lose face."

Just as Yali frowned slightly, about to speak...

Shen Yi, who had been secretly observing Wu Changkong, suddenly appeared. After bowing, she explained, "Your Holiness, this is what happened."

Upon hearing this, Ya Li's eyes flashed with understanding, and she looked at Wu Changkong with more comprehension: "I see. Zhuo Shi is an awkward person, and you are stubborn too, so you actually knelt down like that."

Wu Changkong pursed his lips, offering no explanation.

"Kneeling like this isn't a solution." Su Qiu activated the power of the Face Fruit: "Your Holiness, please give me some face and help me persuade Senior Zhuoshi."

Ya Li chuckled at Su Qiu's straightforward yet somewhat childish "face," then turned her gaze to the depths of the inner courtyard, her voice gentle: "The world is about to fall apart. If you truly dislike Wu Changkong, why keep him kneeling?" Ya Li's words were quite effective; less than three breaths after she finished speaking, the trees in the inner courtyard suddenly stirred without wind, and an old man with white hair appeared.

"Your Holiness the Holy Spirit is quite free, meddling in the affairs between my master and me." Zhuo Shi's tone was firm, but he was not truly angry.

It's Ya Li who's in charge. If it were anyone else who was in charge of his relationship with Wu Changkong, he would have already lost his temper.

Yali smiled faintly, "I just can't bear to see your awkward personality. It wouldn't be good if you really drove your apprentice away."

Zhuo Shi was momentarily speechless. After a moment, he looked at Su Qiu with a scrutinizing gaze: "You are Wu Changkong's student?"

In fact, he recognized Su Qiu at first glance, after all, the Sea God Pavilion held a special meeting for him two and a half years ago.

The events of two and a half years ago, whether it was the light cannon or Cai Yue'er's subsequent intervention, made Su Qiu famous among the higher-ups of various organizations.

"I suppose so," Su Qiu said, changing the subject. "But you can call me Dean."

"Dean?"

“That’s right.” Su Qiu stood tall and puffed out his chest: “I’m the new dean of the outer academy. Give me some face and let this matter drop.”

"You?!" Zhuo Shi was somewhat confused. The other party was the dean, so who was he?
Since Cai Yue'er stepped down, Zhuo Shi has become the new Dean of Shrek Academy.

He didn't want to take the position, but when Shen Yi came back and said that Wu Changkong might return, he took the initiative to accept it.

Zhuo Shi stared intently at Su Qiu: "Dean of the Outer Court? Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

His soul power surged unconsciously, and his aged face darkened.

The terrifying pressure of a titled Douluo descended.

but.

Su Qiu is unaffected.

He remained expressionless and silently retreated behind Yali: "Your Holy Spirit can testify that you said I enjoy the same treatment as the Dean of the Outer Court at Shrek Academy, right?"

Seeing that the oppressive power of the turbid world had no effect on Su Qiu, Ya Li was surprised. Only then did she realize that she could not see through Su Qiu at all.

Then, she said to Zhuoshi with certainty, "That's right. During Su Qiu's studies in the academy, his status was equal to that of the dean of the outer academy. I vouch for that."

"How come I didn't know about this?" Zhuo Shi frowned. This matter wasn't mentioned at all at the Sea God Pavilion meeting back then.

"Is there a problem?" Yali asked, her gaze deep.

This was a private decision she made, and she had the authority to make it.

If you have any complaints, go tell my Yunming!

Zhuo Shi's soul power suddenly froze, and he felt a chill run down his spine as he was looked at by Ya Li's deep gaze.

A chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't help but look around, afraid that Yun Ming, that shameless wife-protecting maniac, would suddenly jump out.

Su Qiu peeked out from behind Ya Li and grinned: "See? You gave me face and forgave Wu Changkong. We can all make dumplings together. Isn't that great?"

In this turbid world, it's rare to see someone soaring through the sky; it's just that he's stubborn and awkward.

Now is the perfect time to go down the stairs.

After snorting coldly, he turned to look at Wu Changkong, his tone still harsh: "What are you all standing there for? Come in! Don't get in the way and make Shrek a laughing stock!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the inner courtyard. His steps were steady, and he no longer had the anger he had just shown. Instead, he seemed somewhat helpless.

Wu Changkong gave Su Qiu a deep look, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including gratitude and helplessness.
