Tang Wulin had no words to refute her, but that didn't mean Zhou Shi could tolerate it. Zhou Shi snorted coldly and said, "What a sharp-tongued little girl. Wulin is willing to show me his work because he respects his elders. Besides, academic exchanges are a serious matter, so how can they be settled with just one word?"
Xu Xiaoyan shook her head slightly and said, "Scarlet Dragon Douluo, you are overreacting. It's just an academic exchange, not a big deal. Since you have entrusted this matter to Tang Wulin, you should trust him. If you don't even trust him, then don't let him come."
How could Zhou Shi not know that Xu Xiaoyan was mocking him? This incident was originally meant to give Tang Wulin some insights. They never expected that it would be resolved overnight, and they would have been fine with talking for ten days or more.
Unfortunately, they didn't anticipate that the City of Miracles would send such a tough opponent, who was not only sharp-tongued but also quick-witted. They still hoped to settle the matter in one day, and they even prepared the documents.
Sighing slightly, Zhou Shi looked at Yun Ming and said, "Atlas Douluo, are you going to ignore this little girl's words?"
You can't talk to her, you can't fight her, this was a vivid portrayal of Zhou Shi. Since he couldn't persuade her or intimidate her, Zhou Shi had no choice but to turn to Yun Ming for help, hoping that the former master of the Sea God Pavilion could save some face for Shrek Academy.
Yun Ming shook his head slightly and said, "Yali said that Xiaoyan should be solely responsible for this matter, I'm just here to watch."
Seeing what Yun Ming said, Zhou Shi had nothing to say. He looked at Xu Xiaoyan and said, "There is nothing wrong with this document as a whole, but since we are talking about academic exchange, it is indeed a bit inappropriate for us to send people to the City of Miracles alone."
"How about this? For the first batch of academic exchange activities, Anping, Gu Yuena, you, and Le Zhengyu will represent the City of Miracles in Shrek City, and Wulin and his peers will represent Shrek's Seven Monsters and come to the City of Miracles."
"After all, the exchange program between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Academy ten thousand years ago was probably like this. It would be a nice thing if we could recreate it, wouldn't it?"
Zhou Shi's intention couldn't be more obvious. He was just worried about the safety of Tang Wulin and the others. He had heard Chen Xinjie's discovery. In his opinion, there was no problem with the indestructible City of Miracles.
The main problem was people's hearts. For Zhou Shi it was hard to believe that the people in the City of Miracles would treat Tang Wulin and the others well, or at least share everything they had with them.
Therefore, for Tang Wulin's safety, someone from the City of Miracles had to stay in their Shrek City. Anping and the four of them were the best choice for Zhou Shi.
With a "pop" sound, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea. Fortunately, she reacted in time and dispersed it, otherwise Tang Wulin would have been unlucky.
After all, Tang Wulin and Zhou Shi were guests from afar. Even though nothing serious happened, Xu Xiaoyan still said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't hold it back, so I apologize to you here."
Just when Zhou Shi and Tang Wulin were about to accept Xu Xiaoyan's apology, they didn't expect that before they could speak, Xu Xiaoyan changed the topic and said, "I call you Scarlet Dragon Douluo, only because I respect you."
"It is impossible for the City of Miracles to send people to Shrek City. If you still want Anping, Nana, me, and Le Zhengyu, you should stop daydreaming. This matter is impossible. The bottom line is on the document. Will you sign it or not?"
Xu Xiaoyan was not the only one who had such a strong reaction. Everyone in the Anping courtyard also reacted strongly. They never expected that Zhou Shi could be so shameless.
That was all. Seeing Zhou Shi as a matter of course was what made people most angry. However, seeing that Xu Xiaoyan did not agree, they all applauded. It didn't matter whether Xu Xiaoyan heard it or not.
Zhou Shi was in a bit of a dilemma for a while. The City of Miracles was so strange that even Poseidon's consciousness couldn't function. He was worried that something would go wrong with the Shrek Seven Monsters.
He could only force a smile and say, "Since this is an academic exchange, we should make progress together, right? Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you not to send anyone to Shrek Academy?"
Xu Xiaoyan retorted, "That's wrong. What's wrong with it? Isn't it good that we don't covet anything from your Shrek Academy? Besides, your Shrek Academy is nothing special in my opinion. There is nothing we need to learn."
Zhou Shi and Tang Wulin were naturally furious when Xu Xiaoyan belittled Shrek Academy in such a way, but they really couldn't do anything about it.
Tang Wulin could only say in a deep voice, "You have only taught in the outer courtyard for a while, how do you know the benefits of Shrek Academy? You should know that there is an ancient golden tree in the inner courtyard of Shrek, and the energy of the world is infinitely richer than that of the outside world!"
Hearing what Tang Wulin said, Xu Xiaoyan didn't say anything, but just pointed at Yun Ming. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. With Yun Ming, the former master of the Sea God Pavilion here, They knew everything about Shrek Academym
Seeing this, Tang Wulin was slightly startled. He was so angry that he said such words. For a moment, he even forgot that Yun Ming and Yali were in the City of Miracles. With these two here, what else could Shrek Academy have that the City of Miracles didn't know about?
The whole room fell into silence for an instant. Tang Wulin and Zhou Shi couldn't help but think of a response strategy. After thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of anything, but they couldn't just give up.
In the end, Zhou Shi reluctantly handed the document to Tang Wulin and said in a deep voice, "Sign it!"
Seeing that Zhou Shi had so helplessly agreed, Tang Wulin couldn't say anything more. He picked up a pen and signed his name on it, then separated the documents, threw one to Xu Xiaoyan, and kept the other.
However, because it was a document that was forced to be signed, Tang Wulin couldn't help but swear to himself that when he grew up, he would make Xu Xiaoyan pay for insulting him and his master and Shrek Academy.
Xu Xiaoyan didn't care what Tang Wulin was thinking, she picked up the document and looked at it, which was indeed Tang Wulin's name, and said with a smile, "In that case, the matter is settled, remember to study hard when you go back."
After saying that, Xu Xiaoyan stood up and left without giving Tang Wulin a chance to speak. Naturally, Yun Ming couldn't stay here for long and left with Xu Xiaoyan.
Seeing Yun Ming and Xu Xiaoyan leaving, Tang Wulin clenched his fist angrily, loosened it and then clenched it again, which showed his complicated mood.
Zhou Shi gently patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder and said seriously, "You see, this means you are inferior to others. From now on, Tang Sect and Shrek Academy will depend on you."
