Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
When the elders of the Sea God Pavilion present heard these words, most were bewildered because the majority did not know about the Counterfeit Shrek Academy; only Elder Lin, Mu En, and Xuan Zi knew about it at the moment.
Upon hearing these words from Yan Shaozhe, Mu En, who was lying on his recliner, found it incredibly hard to believe.
"An undercover agent?! You actually sent her there to be... to be an undercover agent?!"
His slightly cloudy eyes widened abruptly in that instant, and his eyes were filled with alarming bloodshot veins.
Immediately after, an uncontrollable rage surged straight to his head!
Mu En felt his vision go black, and the entire World seemed to be spinning.
In his chest, the old injury he had forcibly suppressed could no longer be held down at this moment due to his overwhelming anger!
"Pfft—!!!"
Accompanied by a dull sound, Mu En's body lurched forward, and right before everyone's eyes, he threw his head back and spat out a large, shocking mouthful of crimson blood!
"Elder Mu!!!"
"Sea God Pavilion Master!!!"
"Teacher!!!"
Seeing this sudden scene, the entire Sea God Pavilion instantly erupted into chaos!
All the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, whether elderly or slightly younger, were frightened out of their wits. They cried out in alarm, panicked, and rushed from their seats in great anxiety, crowding tightly around Mu En's recliner!
One must know that Elder Mu was the pillar of the entire Shrek Academy! If anything were to happen to him, the sky over Shrek would truly collapse!
Meanwhile, Yan Shaozhe, who was still kneeling on the ground, and Qian Duoduo, who was sitting in a chair trembling like a sieve, felt their hearts almost jump out of their throats as they watched Mu En spit blood.
It is over!
It is all over!
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo could not help but scream internally that things were bad; they were so scared that their hair stood on end!
Was Mu En really going to be angered to death by them?
Thinking of this consequence, Yan Shaozhe could not help but feel immense regret. If Mu En were angered to death because of their unauthorized actions, they would truly be carved onto the pillar of shame of Shrek Academy.
"Teacher! I was wrong! It is all my fault! I was possessed! I was too bold!"
Yan Shaozhe scrambled and crawled to the front of Mu En's recliner, kowtowing frantically to apologize, his voice filled with regret.
"Elder Mu, you must take care of your health! Every mistake is our fault; you can beat us or scold us, but please do not let your health suffer from anger!"
Qian Duoduo also repeatedly admitted his faults from the side.
However, facing the mourning-like wailing and apologies of Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, Mu En did not even want to glance at them.
With several elders hurriedly channeling gentle Spirit Power to massage him, Mu En breathed heavily with difficulty, barely stabilizing the wildly surging blood in his body.
He tremblingly extended his finger, which looked like withered wood, and weakly pushed away the people surrounding him.
"Cough, cough... cough..."
Mu En coughed violently a few times, and each cough brought out specks of blood.
His eyes stared fixedly at Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, who were kneeling on the ground, his voice hoarse.
Mu En gasped for air, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a despair of hating that his iron could not turn into steel.
"Did I not warn the three of you a thousand times... that the Shrek Academy in the sky has unfathomable foundations! That you must absolutely, absolutely not provoke them?!"
Mu En slammed his hand on the armrest of the recliner and let out a roar!
"Why?! Why must you still be so clever by half?! Treating my words as wind passing by your ears?!"
"Go undercover?! How dare you!!!"
Mu En pointed at Yan Shaozhe's nose and cursed bitterly, his heart aching.
"The three of you... what exactly are you trying to do?! Do you really want to torture my old life away, do you really want to anger me to death?!"
Facing Mu En's angry questioning, every word dripping with blood, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo instantly turned ashen, speechless, and completely at a loss for what to say.
They were in the wrong!
However... the culprit was Xuan Zi; if not for Xuan Zi threatening them, the two would not have agreed to this matter!
Xuan Zi also walked up to Mu En at this moment and spoke slowly to him.
"Elder Mu, I did this for Shrek Academy too!"
"Are we not forced to do this?! If we do not take action now, if we do not send people to infiltrate their internal ranks to find out their secrets and steal their technology... look at the current situation yourself!"
"Our ten-thousand-year glory and reputation as the legitimate Shrek Academy will sooner or later be snatched away by that shameless Counterfeit Shrek Academy that popped out of nowhere!"
The more Xuan Zi spoke, the more excited he became, even patting his chest, acting as if he would sacrifice his life for the academy.
"I admit, this plan was indeed a bit risky! But! Everything I did was for Shrek's ten-thousand-year foundation! It was all to maintain the absolute dignity of Shrek Academy as the continent's number one! I have a clear conscience!"
"You... you..."
After hearing these shameless words from Xuan Zi, Mu En's already pale complexion, caused by anger, instantly flushed purple-red!
He stared fixedly at Xuan Zi again with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire!
Mu En's heart was bleeding!
He roared crazily in his heart, wondering what kind of sin he had committed, what kind of heinous things he had done, for the heavens to send such an extreme person as Xuan Zi to torture him like this?!
At this moment, Mu En could not help but recall how his senior brother had taught his disciple to make Xuan Zi so unreasonable!
Eating and drinking all day was one thing, but the key was that he always dropped the ball at critical moments. He had thought that the incident in the inner courtyard and the encounter at the Shrek Academy in the sky not long ago might make Xuan Zi wake up a little, but he never expected that during the time he was quietly recuperating, Xuan Zi had done so many big things behind his back.
Mu En closed his eyes in pain. There were also Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, who had all been corrupted by Xuan Zi, following him in acting recklessly!
He felt that if one day he really kicked the bucket and passed away, and he handed this massive Sea God Pavilion to these people... this Shrek Academy, which had been passed down for a full ten thousand years, might truly be completely destroyed in Xuan Zi's hands!
He absolutely could not indulge him anymore!
"Enough!"
Mu En opened his eyes abruptly and shouted, cutting off Xuan Zi's sophistry.
A sharp glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.
Mu En turned his head and spoke to the two elders in the Sea God Pavilion.
"As the Sea God Pavilion Master, I issue the highest order!"
"Take these three reckless bastards, Xuan Zi, Qian Duoduo, and Yan Shaozhe, and lock them up!"
"Lock them all in the Confinement Room of the Sea God Pavilion! Guard them strictly! From now on, without my personal permission, they are absolutely not allowed to step out of the Confinement Room!"
"Yes! Sea God Pavilion Master!"
Hearing that Mu En was serious, Elder Lin and Elder Song felt a shiver in their hearts.
Hearing this death order from Mu En to be locked up, Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe were heartbroken. They knew the great trouble they had caused; how could they dare to have any thoughts of resistance? So they admitted their fault dejectedly and honestly lowered their heads, ready to be punished.
However, Xuan Zi was still unconvinced!
"Elder Mu! What are you doing?!"
"I really..."
"Enough! I do not want to hear even half a sentence of nonsense from you!"
Mu En waved his hand, directly interrupting Xuan Zi.
Immediately after, Mu En took out a wheelchair Spirit Tool from his Storage Soul Tool. This was given to him by Bei Xin before he left. Originally, he did not intend to use it, but now... he had to.
Xuan Zi noticed Mu En's action and instantly knew what Mu En intended to do.
"Elder Mu, are you going to go to that Counterfeit Shrek Academy again?"
Mu En's gaze swept over everyone present with majesty.
"I must go!"
"As the Sea God Pavilion Master, as their mentor! I must give those two children you harmed an explanation!"
"No matter the cost, I must bring those two children back safely!"
"Xuan Zi, I will state this clearly today."
"You had better pray in the Confinement Room every day, praying that Luo Chen and Lexuan are safe and sound in there right now, and that nothing has happened to them!"
"Otherwise..."
Mu En's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and that terrifying pressure instantly smashed onto Xuan Zi like Mount Tai pressing down!
"If those two suffer even the slightest mishap because of your stupidity, and are lost in there... then you, Xuan Zi, get out of Shrek Academy immediately!!!"
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo could not help but shrink their pupils. Mu En was serious this time. One must know that no matter what Xuan Zi had committed before, Mu En would protect him, but now he did not intend to protect him!
Thinking of this, the two of them also panicked.
