Federation!
The member responsible for conveying messages rushed into the hall and hastily said, "Report... Report to all council members, a message has come from the Blacksmith Association!"
Before he could explain the situation, the council members responded with a smile, "Well? Did the guy we nominated assume the president's position?"
"Do we even have to think about it? As long as Zhen Hua is not the president, the Blacksmith Association is entirely under our control. Whoever we want to be in charge can be!"
"That's not the right way to put it. We're just making sure the Blacksmith Association makes the right choice, not to abet tyranny!"
The Chairman, also holding some curiosity, said, "Go on."
Upon hearing this, the messenger then continued, "According to the message from the Blacksmith Association, the plan failed!"
The council members stopped in their tracks, their eyes widening as they said, "What? How is that possible? Didn't Zhen Hua resign from the president's position? Who else could compete?"
"These guys are really a bunch of good-for-nothings, they couldn't even handle such a simple task!"
"No... it's not that simple. Something unexpected must have happened!"
"Could it be... that Zhen Hua has taken up the role of president of the Blacksmith Association again? Only then would our selected candidate fail to win, right?"
"Stop beating around the bush, out with it! What exactly happened??"
Feeling the pressure, the man had no choice but to bow his head and, steeling himself, blurted out everything he knew...
"This... Zhen Hua did not become the president of the Blacksmith Association, but instead took command of the Blacksmith Association again as the Acting Vice President!"
The council members collapsed into their chairs with a "thump," "What? This must be a joke, right?? To go back on what was agreed upon."
"Who would have thought that Zhen Hua would be so cunning, to regain control of the Blacksmith Association in such a manner? Could it be that this was all part of his plan!"
"We wasted so much effort for the Federation, it's despicable!!"
One of the council members muttered under his breath, "To tell the truth... Zhen Hua did indeed resign as the president of the Blacksmith Association; he didn't continue and instead shifted to vice-president, which really does make others look like fools!"
But he immediately faced the wrathful stares of everyone else...
The Chairman took a deep breath and said sternly, "Enough, since Zhen Hua became the Acting Vice President again, our plan is definitely doomed to fail!"
"If we want to stop the Blacksmith Association from selling a large amount of resources to the Spirit Pagoda, we must find another point of entry!"
This twist was somewhat frustrating to him as well...
He longed to ask Zhen Hua in person, as the president of the Blacksmith Association, have you never heard of the saying 'a promise is worth a thousand gold'?"
"Chairman, other than this, do we have any other options?"
"Yes, with the Spirit Pagoda now so powerful, we can't limit them at all. As for the Blacksmith Association, they never paid much attention to status!"
"I think, we might as well give up..."
Faced with these issues, the Chairman too began to rub his head, feeling overwhelmed...
He could only wave his hand, "You may all leave now, let me think this over!"
It was impossible for him to come up with a reliable solution on the spot!
After the council members had disappeared, the man left standing there said nervously, "Sir... Chairman, I haven't finished speaking yet?"
The Chairman glared at him, "Speak, speak, what more is there? Didn't you hear that the plan has failed already?"
The former could only leave dejectedly...
"Vice Chairman, what action would you take if you were here?"
...
Several days later, the people from various sects who came for the inspection had given the academy extremely high evaluations after a brief visit…
"Not bad, it seems that Shrek Academy hasn't regressed in teaching quality because of the incident back then. It was the right choice to let our children join!"
"Hmm, there are rumors outside that Shrek Academy can't recruit teachers, but aren't all the ones we've seen here excellent teachers?"
"It's just… are their teaching credentials really up to par? Aren't they a bit too young?"
"Hey, why bother about such things? Did you think Shrek Academy is called the Monster Academy for no reason?"
Upon hearing their comments, Ya Li coughed softly, "Actually, to be honest with all the Sect Masters, our Shrek Academy indeed finds itself in an awkward position lately, unable to recruit suitable teachers!"
As soon as she said this, everyone exchanged glances and instantly showed skeptical expressions…
No suitable teachers?
Then what about their carefully selected outstanding sect disciples? Are they doomed?
They stared at her, expecting a reasonable explanation…
Ya Li paused for a moment and then continued, "Although we haven't recruited teachers, as you have just seen, those…"
Before she could finish her sentence, the people from the sects interjected, "Elder Ya Li, it's not that we don't trust Shrek Academy, it's just that those children might be too young. Are they really qualified for the position of teacher?"
"Yes, we sent our sect's outstanding disciples here to study, not to play. Please don't waste their talents!"
"If Shrek Academy can't provide the corresponding level of education, then the sect has the right to take these children back!"
Seeing the situation escalating, Ya Li chuckled lightly, "Please stay calm. Although the academy has no recruited teachers, those instructing the students are none other than the previous generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters!!"
"Every one of them is a top-tier genius, and only a genius can teach a genius, don't you agree?"
Her words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they expressed surprise, "The previous generation of Shrek Seven Monsters??"
Ya Li nodded affirmatively, "Yes, the current Clan Leader of the Angel Family, Yue Zhengyu, is also one of the Shrek Seven Monsters!"
They looked at each other, seemingly realizing something…
The Angel Family's Clan Leader, Yue Zhengyu, they had witnessed his strength personally, saying that he is among the top powerhouses of the Continent would not be an overstatement!
And since he is one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, the others must be at least at the Super Douluo level!
Such powerhouses as teachers would be more than adequate!
With this, smiles once again spread across their faces…
"Elder Ya Li, with geniuses like the Shrek Seven Monsters teaching, we are naturally reassured!"
"Indeed, we were just joking earlier, we still have full faith in the academy's ability to nurture each student!"
"Well, we've seen enough, we shall take our leave now, so as not to disturb you further!"
Ya Li still wore a slight smile, "Since that's the case, I won't detain you any longer. Safe travels!"
They could use this reason now, but it might not work in the future!
She just hoped that the Shrek Seven Monsters, who were new to the position of teacher, would bring some pleasant surprises…
