Leng Yulai knew that Xu Xiaoyan was speaking her own mind. She had asked Anping for advice before going there, but he had said nothing, just letting her do as she pleased.
No one present could fail to see that Shrek Academy had ulterior motives. They simply wanted to steal the secrets of the City of Miracles under the guise of academic exchanges.
This was not the first time that Shrek Academy had done something like this. He didn't expect Xu Xiaoyan to come up with such a plan. It didn't matter whether Shrek Academy agreed or not.
After all, it was not a noble thing. They had to use trustworthy people to participate in academic exchanges, and the only people Shrek Academy could trust were talented ones, such as Tang Wulin and his generation of Shrek Seven Monsters.
And if they wanted to steal the secrets of the City of Miracles, they couldn't just enter the elementary and middle schools, but they had to go to university as well.
But the entrance exam for Miracle City University was not that simple. Although soul master colleges had relatively low requirements for cultural courses, it was not something that the Shrek Seven Monsters could complete in a day or two.
In other words, if they agreed, they would waste a lot of time learning things that they thought were useless. If they didn't agree, they would miss such a good opportunity.
Everyone present had to admit the feasibility of Xu Xiaoyan's plan. Leng Yaozhu even sighed: "Yali, you really taught a good disciple."
Yali glanced at Anping and Gu Yuena and said angrily: "Who doesn't know that my disciple has always been learning from your disciples. If you want to praise your disciples in a roundabout way, you might as well just say how good they are."
Seeing Yali like this, everyone burst into laughter. However, for Anping and Gu Yuena, they had to admit that throughout history, there was no one who could surpass them.
While Anping and the others were chatting and laughing, Tang Wulin, who was deep in thought, looked up at the seemingly relaxed Xu Xiaoyan, and said calmly: "Xu Xiaoyan, you also studied at Shrek Academy, you should know the rules of the academy. What you are teaching is too difficult, don't you think?"
Tang Wulin really didn't want to give up. After all, they wanted to know the secrets of the City of Miracles in a short period of time, and academic exchanges were the best excuse.
They wouldn't give up on things like planting spies, but those were long-term plans. Now they were doing this because they were not sure whether the current situation would last long. If it did, that would be fine. If it didn't, they had to make plans early.
Xu Xiaoyan gently put down the cup in her hand, shook her head slightly and said: "This is impossible. You were the ones who proposed the academic exchange. Since you don't want to learn the knowledge of our City of Miracles, why are you still communicating?"
"Besides, the knowledge taught in our college is progressive. If you can't pass the exam on the previous basic knowledge, even if you are admitted to university, it will be meaningless if you can't even understand the courses, right?"
"Moreover, other students entered the college through exams, but you are the only ones who entered through a special relationship. How do you think that makes those who have worked hard for so long feel?"
Hearing what Xu Xiaoyan said, Tang Wulin was speechless. He couldn't say that Shrek Academy proposed academic exchanges just to steal the secrets of the City of Miracles, and that he didn't really want to have academic exchanges.
Even though both parties knew this, it was impossible to say it out loud. But Tang Wulin really couldn't bring himself to study the courses in the City of Miracles.
It wasn't that Tang Wulin found those courses hard to understand. After all, he had a strong mind now, which meant his memory was good, but he didn't want to waste time.
Moreover, Tang Wulin felt that the gap between him and Anping and Gu Yuena was already too big. If he didn't practice diligently and instead studied those things, he might never be able to catch up with them.
As he was thinking wildly, Tang Wulin suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Your City of Miracles teaches all students to be unified and simple, and isn't afraid of wasting the talents of those who are gifted. You must know that soul masters..."
Xu Xiaoyan knew that Tang Wulin was going to talk about the theories of Shrek Academy again, so he interrupted him directly: "How we teach is our own business, and you don't need to tell us what to do. And from what you said, you have visited the City of Miracles School?"
Seeing Tang Wulin nod, Xu Xiaoyan asked: "Now that you have visited, what do you think is wrong with them? Have they fallen behind in their practice because of their homework?"
Hearing what Xu Xiaoyan said, Tang Wulin was stunned. If Xu Xiaoyan hadn't mentioned it, he would have overlooked this detail. But when he thought about it now, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Because the cultivation of those students had not declined at all due to the numerous courses. He had met a few people of his own age. Those few people might not be as good as him in cultivation, but they were definitely not bad.
This seemed almost impossible to Tang Wulin. He had to know that he had the current cultivation level, but with the help of his grandmother, those people were obviously not as talented as him, so why were their cultivation levels only slightly lower than his own?
Then Tang Wulin couldn't help but think of Anping and Gu Yuena, Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu. These people all had problems with their cultivation speed, and the problem must lie with Anping and Gu Yuena.
He was afraid that Anping and Gu Yuena had some method to increase the speed of cultivation, and this method must increase the speed of cultivation faster than their Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure. Otherwise, even if Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu had the help of fairy grass, they shouldn't have surpassed them by so much.
The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became. If it was as he suspected, the City of Miracles must not be allowed to develop like this. Otherwise, it would only take one generation for the City of Miracles to suppress the Douluo Star in all directions. All forces, including Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, would be in danger.
Thinking of this, Tang Wulin stared at Xu Xiaoyan and said in a deep voice: "We agree to the conditions you proposed, but we also have a request, which is to give us a textbook on the City of Miracles, at least let us know what we have to learn."
Seeing Tang Wulin suddenly agreeing, Xu Xiaoyan was slightly surprised, but she quickly recovered, nodded with a smile and said, "Don't bother me. If you want textbooks, there are plenty of bookstores on the street. What kind of textbooks do you want? Just go and buy them."
"And not only textbooks, there are also various tutoring materials for sale in bookstores. However, because Miracle City has just started, the supervision of those tutoring materials is strict, so you must choose carefully."
The implication was that the bookstore had everything, they just had to buy it themselves. As for the tutoring materials, if they bought the wrong ones, they couldn't blame her for not warning them.
