Chapter 11 The Master of Heartache

Chapter 11 The Master of Heartache

Ning Rongrong led Zhongli and Ying to the center of Soto City, a large hotel called "Xin Tiandou" with ease. The interior decoration of the hotel was extremely exquisite, and the waiters' clothes were also very exquisite, and each of them had a very beautiful appearance. The people who came here to eat were basically dressed in luxurious clothes and were fat and plump, and they were either rich or noble at first glance.

What Ning Rongrong didn't tell Zhongli was that this "New Tiandou" was actually an industry under their Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, so she could eat at their own place. The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect had many industries under its jurisdiction, covering all channels. In terms of financial strength, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Haotian Sect, which were also among the top three sects, were far behind the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Ning Rongrong ordered a bunch of dishes, most of which Zhongli had never heard of, such as rabbit meat stewed with rabbit milk, bear paw stewed with dragon skin, and roasted mandala.
I can only say that it is indeed very unique. The taste is also hard to describe.

"The rabbit meat is stewed very well, the soft bones retain their chewiness, and the rich aroma of the milk is also stewed in"

"This mandragora snake, the whole thing is tied up with blue silver grass and roasted. Maybe this way the seasoning can be more flavorful? There is also a grassy fragrance, which is very distinctive, hmm."

“This goose wing.”

Zhongli ate while talking nonstop, and even Ying was a little surprised when Ning Rongrong looked at him with admiration.

Little did people know that Zhongli thought he could appreciate all the delicacies in the world and that no one in the entire continent of Teyvat was more knowledgeable than him when it came to food. At this point, he was almost unable to continue his story.

Well, fortunately, there was no seafood on this table. Soto City is far from the sea; in this world with underdeveloped technology, seafood can only be transported inland by soul masters with ice attributes who use their soul power to keep it refrigerated, or made into pickled products. So generally speaking, even in such high-end restaurants, seafood is rarely served.

"I'm stuffed."

Ying put down her knife and fork and said expressionlessly. She only touched a little bit of each dish. Zhongli couldn't help but look at her sideways: This guy is really picky about food!
After finishing their meal, they wandered around Soto City for a while, and did not part until it was getting dark. Ning Rongrong returned to Shrek Academy, while Zhongli and Ying found a hotel to stay in temporarily.

"Does this Shrek Academy need to be dealt with? I have confirmed that there are several of the Empire's most wanted criminals among the teaching staff of this Shrek Academy, especially the 'Acala' Zhao Wuji, who has committed many murders. If some of them are caught, they can be sent directly to the guillotine."

In the quiet hotel room, Ying looked at Zhongli and asked. She now has tens of thousands of troops under her command, including a Soul Saint-level warrior. If they were to attack Shrek Academy's Lei Ting, they would be unable to escape.

After all, no matter how strong a soul master below the Title Douluo is, he is just an ordinary person. It is very dangerous to be besieged by a large number of well-trained troops. Once the soul power is exhausted, he can only surrender.

Zhongli thought about it for a while and shook his head. If it was just Shrek Academy, Ying's proposal could certainly be implemented. However, Tang San was also in Shrek Academy. Zhongli, who had read the original "Douluo Dalu", knew that Tang San had Tang Hao following him silently, and this was not something that could be dealt with by a group of troops.

What's more, letting Tang San stay in Shrek Academy may not be a bad thing.

"We will not directly destroy this Shrek Academy. However, we will still ban what should be banned, and we will do everything according to the laws and procedures of the empire. We naturally cannot tolerate the existence of such a fraudulent academy in the territory of the Tiandou Empire. This loophole cannot be opened."

Zhongli put his hands together on the table and spoke slowly.

"The Shrek Academy's qualification to run a school must be confiscated. They can join any other academy they want. However, the name Shrek has been identified as fraudulent and has negative value orientation, so it is no longer allowed to be used."

Zhongli continued.

Ying nodded. She had heard all the bullshit that Shrek Academy promoted, such as "Shrek symbolizes monsters, which are different from ordinary people", "We at Shrek Academy only train monsters, not ordinary people", and "Those who don't dare to cause trouble are useless". Today, she had seen it with her own eyes. That young man named Dai Mubai was indeed very troublesome.

Directly offend a Titled Douluo.

Allowing such a scumbag academy to exist on the land of the Tiandou Empire is simply a disgrace to the empire's reputation. These valuables may continue to circulate, but they should be more restrained.

A few days later, the document revoking Shrek Academy's qualification to run a school was officially issued; Shrek Academy's "classrooms" were also closed down one by one and sealed by the imperial soldiers.

"Master" Yu Xiaogang and Dean Flanders stood aside, watching their "hard work" being confiscated like this, and their dreams that had not yet started being shattered like this, and they felt that their hearts were bleeding. "Crash!"

The wooden sign of "Shrek" fell down and smashed to pieces on the ground. The villagers around watched all this with expressionless faces, and many of them even showed a hint of satisfaction on their faces.

These people occupied their village to run a school, and they did pay rent; but facing a group of soul masters, soul emperors, and even soul saints, how could they dare to charge more money? They only dared to charge a few gold soul coins as a token of their appreciation.

Moreover, many of the students in Shrek Academy have bad behavior. Especially the fat guy Ma, who often bullies the girls in the village. The women in the village avoid him when they see him. The girl named "Cuihua" was almost killed in bed by the fat guy. She cried and wanted to break up with the fat guy, but was chased and entangled by the bastard. The villagers were angry but dared not say anything when they saw him.

But now, the masters of the Tiandou Empire have come, and the sky is clear! These villagers usually pay tribute to the local lord spirit master, and have shit feelings for the Barak Kingdom. They only know that the Tiandou Empire destroyed the Barak Kingdom, and the overbearing Shrek Academy was closed down; those spirit masters who usually look down on the sky can only watch their "academy" being closed down, and piles of leaflets being collected and burned, with bloodshot eyes and clenched fists, but no complaints.

Even if Dean Flanders was indignant, he had to bow his head when faced with the imperial officials reading out the reasons for the ban. In fact, it was already good that they didn't pursue the wanted criminals with blood on their hands in his teaching team!

"Are we just going to put up with this?"

Dai Mubai's eyes were red. He carried his luggage, clenched his teeth, and said hatefully.

At this moment, they were a group of people without even a carriage. They were walking on the empty and desolate official road, like a dog that had lost its home.

Or rather, it’s not “like”; they are now truly like lost dogs.

Not only was Shrek Academy closed down and banned, it was also permanently forbidden to use this name to run a school again. As punishment for running a school in violation of regulations, not only were all the valuables in Shrek Academy (although there were not many) confiscated, but it was also fined a full 5,000 gold soul coins. Flanders' heart was bleeding.

This fine almost wiped out all the money he had earned through fraud over the years. But what could he say?

"Even if we can't bear it, what can we do? The army of the 'Iron-Blooded Princess' is still here. If they want to use force, there's nothing we can do!"

Zhao Wuji, the ferocious "Acala" with a bitter look on his face, said, "When he was still a gangster, he also fought with the imperial army and almost lost his life there."

"Let's go to Tiandou City"

Flanders sighed and said.

"What? They've done this to us, and we're still going to Tiandou City?"

Fatty Ma was stunned for a moment and said.

"They just banned our Shrek Academy, but they didn't ban us old guys from teaching. And even if they banned it, what would happen? With our status and strength, we will be popular wherever we go. There are many who want us. And Tiandou City is the place with the most opportunities on this continent, at least in the Tiandou Empire."

Flanders smiled bitterly and explained to the group of teenagers. What he didn't say was that he knew many acquaintances in Tiandou City. Even that old friend might also be in Tiandou City.

"Children, such hardships are necessary for every strong person to grow. Even if the sky falls, your teacher will hold it up for you. You just need to practice well; one day, you can help your teacher wash away this humiliation."

At this time, the "Master" who had been silent all this time also spoke, his voice a little hoarse. The blow he suffered from the closure of Shrek Academy was no less than that suffered by Flanders, the dean, and might even be greater.

All the valuable theoretical materials he had painstakingly summarized were unexpectedly regarded as illegal books, "suspected of infringing on other people's patents," and were burned!
