The Shrek academy students' gazes all fell on Flander.
Based on Xu Xin's actions just now, they knew that Xu Xin really would kill them, regardless of the power behind them.
They were also curious about who Xu Xin was, that he wasn't even afraid of the power behind them.
"Dean, choose me! Choose me!"
"Dean, if you choose me, I'll help you rebuild Shrek Academy, make Shrek Academy bigger and more glorious!"
Dai Mubai crawled to Flander, tears streaming down his face, grabbing Flander's leg, speaking with utmost sincerity.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai with disdain and contempt. A cowardly, life-crushing fellow, truly disgusting.
If she weren't Xu Xin's disciple, she wouldn't have to compromise like Dai Mubai; at worst, she would just die, and death would be a relief.
Ma Hongjun, trembling, stared pitifully at Flander: "Dean, I'm your disciple, Dean!"
"Dean!!"
Ma Hongjun cried out hoarsely.
Oscar was speechless, just looking at Xu Xin. He was just an ordinary student, with no qualifications to make Flander choose him.
Here, he felt that apart from Ma Hongjun, who was also a commoner, everyone else had some special status. Only he himself was nothing, except for his good talent…
He didn't speak, but still hoped Flander would choose him.
Toad Tang San gritted his teeth and subconsciously grasped Xiao Wu's hand. Xiao Wu was moved; even at this moment, her third brother was still protecting her.
Xiao Wu was confused. Why was it different from her previous life? Why was everything different… Where did things go wrong?
But this was her secret; she couldn't tell. She had to keep it in her heart, pretending she knew nothing.
Even if things had changed, she couldn't say it; no one would believe her.
Flander smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't afford to offend any of these guys. Heh, he was just being a smart aleck; why did he have to threaten them for no reason!
Sigh…
Flander's heart trembled. He said nothing; he didn't want to make a choice: "Your Majesty… I can't do it!"
"Flander… choose… choose Xiao San!"
"Otherwise… otherwise I… I won't let you go. Xue Ya… Xue Ya won't… won't let you go either!!"
Yu Xiaogang had somehow come to his senses, pointing a trembling finger at Flander, his voice trembling, filled with a strong threat…
Flander's face turned ugly. He never expected his good brother to be like this.
Xiaogang, Ya Mei… you're really putting me in a difficult position.
With a helpless expression, Flander looked at the Shrek Seven Devils, then at Tang San, the child of the Clear Sky Sect. He really couldn't choose!
"Heh, didn't that piece of trash help you make a choice?"
Xu Xin said mockingly, his face full of laughter. So this is what it feels like to be a bad guy. No wonder villains are hated by everyone.
They're just too despicable.
"I..."
After a moment of hesitation, Flander finally placed his finger on Toad Tang San. The meaning couldn't be clearer: he had chosen Toad Tang San.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were utterly devastated. Ha! He actually chose that toad! Hahaha! "Flander, aren't you afraid of my Star Luo Empire?!"
"Flander, I'll go!"
Dai Mubai roared, scrambling to his feet and throwing a punch. Flander snorted coldly and slapped him across the face.
Even if His Majesty couldn't defeat him, surely he could defeat a mere Soul Master?
Dai Mubai's face instantly swelled up, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Teacher, I'm your disciple!!"
Ma Hongjun stared at his teacher in disbelief. Was he less important than an outsider? A chill ran through him, his heart turned cold... His teacher hadn't chosen him, had chosen an outsider...
Flander said nothing, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, his eyes closed, as if he had resigned himself to his fate, ignoring Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's words.
Seeing that his teacher had given up on him, Ma Hongjun hardened his heart. This was their choice; if they didn't want to live, then they would die together!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you spare me, I'll tell you my secret."
"I have a great secret, a very great secret."
"Spare me, spare me and I'll tell you."
Ma Hongjun crawled to Xu Xin's feet, his face full of obsequiousness, almost kowtowing to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin lowered his gaze slightly, looking at Ma Hongjun groveling at his feet. What secrets could a lecherous, womanizing scoundrel like this have?
"Hehe, alright, then tell me, what secret do you have?"
Xu Xin was curious to hear what secret this guy had. Could it be that there was something left unsaid in the original story?
Xu Xin was quite interested.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let's talk over here, let's talk over here."
Ma Hongjun fawned, tugging at Xu Xin's trouser leg and pointing in that direction.
Xu Xin understood; this guy might actually have some secret.
He kicked Ma Hongjun to the other side and slowly walked over, not forgetting to glance at Huo Wu and the other two.
The three understood and immediately stood guard, their martial spirits trembling behind them. If the other side dared to move, the three would immediately attack, and Xu Xin would quickly come over.
Trying to run? That was impossible.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Actually, I know the future."
Ma Hongjun whispered to Xu Xin, but Xu Xin used his soul power to isolate the area, so even a titled being couldn't hear the conversation.
"Oh? Things about the future?"
"Then tell me, what happened?"
Xu Xin was taken aback, never expecting Ma Hongjun to be a reincarnated person as well. This was his oversight.
"It's like this..."
Ma Hongjun recounted his dream, including the immortal herb, the divine test, and even the fact that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise—he told everything just to survive.
Xu Xin found it amusing. Damn it, times have changed, you know it's all in the past!
Xu Xin hadn't expected Ma Hongjun to not be a reincarnated person, but rather to know all this in a dream. If that's the case…
he seemed to have thought of something amusing.
If he remembered correctly, that 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit was a reincarnated person. What if he could change those memories?
Thinking this, Xu Xin revealed a sinister smile and patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder: "Fatty, not bad."
Ma Hongjun's face lit up with joy; it seemed he had succeeded. Before he could react, everything went black...
Xu Xin unleashed a burst of soul power, directly knocking Ma Hongjun unconscious and tossing him towards Flander and the others.
Xu Xin strolled over leisurely, looking at them with friendly eyes.
The next instant, Xu Xin released a burst of violent soul power and mental energy, the terrifying power instantly overwhelming them. Flander and the others couldn't react in time and were knocked unconscious.
