This was also something Yuwen Tuo had reminded Xiao Xiao of before, telling her not to openly defy Shrek like he did.

She could refuse more tactfully.

Although historically, the Shrek Seven Monsters would basically join the Shrek Inspection Team, not every single one joined on the spot.

When the Shrek Seven Monsters just became reserves, they were at most thirteen or fourteen years old. They were young, and Xiao Xiao was a girl. Isn't it very normal for her to be afraid of Evil Soul Masters?

Throughout history, there were quite a few instances where, like Xiao Xiao, members didn't join immediately but joined after growing for a while.

Hearing their refusal, Xuanzi had an "as expected" expression.

Xiao Xiao was fine; she could be slowly guided to grow and join later.

But Yuwen Tuo, his refusal was too decisive. Could it be fear of Evil Soul Masters? If so, let alone the teachers, even the students wouldn't be able to help but show contempt for him.

Dai Yaohéng, as the vice-captain of the main team members, was even more displeased. Such a loner and timid person was simply not worthy of being his teammate.

Xuanzi pressed on, "You... are you sure you want to refuse? I've heard about your background. Your family was all harmed by Evil Soul Masters. Don't you want to seek revenge on Evil Soul Masters?"

"Hmph, of course I do," Yuwen Tuo clenched his fist. "Evil Soul Masters! One day, I will definitely eliminate all Evil Soul Masters. However, I don't like acting according to others' orders. I will seek revenge in my own way."

Everyone understood. Yuwen Tuo wasn't afraid of Evil Soul Masters; he wanted to go solo.

For a moment, everyone's opinion changed again. The contempt was gone, replaced by sighs. Turns out Yuwen Tuo was just a guy with courage but no strategy.

Evil Soul Masters have been prevalent on the continent for tens of thousands of years. If they could be destroyed by individual strength alone, they wouldn't have been rampant for so long.

"Then I must remind you, if you encounter danger later, I, as a teacher, will prioritize rescuing the members of the Inspection Team. Every Inspection Team member is equipped with exclusive clothing, masks, cloaks, and distress signal flares. None of these will be given to you either," Xuanzi said meaningfully.

"I understand that very well," Yuwen Tuo nodded.

Actually, he understood Shrek's method of dealing with him when they inexplicably started isolating him.

Killing with a borrowed knife.

Shrek had a moral burden; they already felt guilty towards him, so they couldn't bring themselves to kill him.

But he and Shrek had never been of one heart. In a situation where his utilization value was basically zero, they couldn't kill him themselves and didn't dare to let him leave, coupled with Ma Xiaotao's stubbornness.

The best method was to turn Yuwen Tuo into a "hero," to engrave his name on Shrek's memorial stone, referred to as the Yuwen Tuo "Hero" plan.

"Since that's the case, you're on your own," Xuanzi said. "Before we participate in the Soul Duelling Competition, we have already received a mission that needs to be completed first."

"Could it be..." Everyone was startled. Is it going to start so soon?

"That's right, Evil Soul Masters!" Xuanzi said in a deep voice. "Yuwen Tuo, although you are unwilling to join the Inspection Team, you should not hesitate to assist in confronting Evil Soul Masters, right?"

"I said I will eliminate all Evil Soul Masters!" Yuwen Tuo did not refuse.

Even though he clearly knew Shrek had the idea of killing with a borrowed knife, he would not flinch when facing Evil Soul Masters.

After all, if his hatred towards Shrek was to the death, then towards Evil Soul Masters, he wouldn't let them go even after death. Before Evil Soul Masters faced extinction, Yuwen Tuo's sword would not stop swinging.

Xuanzi nodded. "Very good. Then in a while, someone will lead you out. Go ahead. I will secretly protect you."

After speaking, Xuanzi left.

Before long, Zhou Yi was seen walking towards them.

Huo Yuhao excitedly went up and asked, "Teacher Zhou, why did you come?"

"What, you don't want to see me? In the Outer Courtyard, I am your teacher. In the Inner Courtyard, I am the leader of your Inspection Group. I have brought you the badges for Inner Courtyard inspectors. These badges are small storage soul tools, containing the Inspection Team masks and distress signal flares inside. Keep them safe."

Zhou Yi distributed the items to everyone except Xiao Xiao and Yuwen Tuo.

Zhou Yi looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao, I know you are scared right now. You are young and a girl, which is normal. But if you want to keep up with everyone in the future, killing is an essential experience. This time I won't force you to immediately join this inspection mission. You can first take the soul tool train to Star Luo City. But I also hope you will understand soon that only by experiencing life and death together with everyone can you gain true bonds. The Shrek Seven Monsters have always been partners who can entrust their backs to each other."

Xiao Xiao nodded. "I understand, Teacher Zhou."

She kept Yuwen Tuo's words in mind and utilized her advantage of being young, small, and a girl.

No one would blame such a young girl for having a fear of Evil Soul Masters.

Yuwen Tuo knew that this mission was actually a trap. The main members of the Shrek Seven Monsters would be put through a very difficult time by this mission.

But he only had two pieces of Level 6 defensive soul tools on him.

He didn't care whether the others lived or died, but he couldn't ignore his own safety, and the lives of Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen.

The simplest method was for one of them not to go. That way, the two Level 6 soul tools would be enough.

Ling Luochen was already a member of the Inspection Team; it was impossible for her not to go.

Yuwen Tuo also wouldn't let go of this opportunity to find trouble with Evil Soul Masters.

He was too lazy to investigate thoroughly before starting to kill, but he could kill while investigating, not letting go of any clue.

So, he could only let Xiao Xiao stay behind. Moreover, Yuwen Tuo also needed Xiao Xiao to head to Star Luo City first; there was an important matter he needed to ask her to handle.

Dai Yaohéng took out the flying soul tool borrowed from the army. Yuwen Tuo also received one this time. Since he was willing to help, they couldn't possibly make him walk there.

Shrek wasn't so petty as to be like that.

"Are you all ready? Then let's depart! I have already notified the Star Luo Empire garrison near the Ming Dou Mountain Range. They will provide us with detailed maps and intelligence then. If there are no other issues, depart at full speed," Dai Yaohéng said.

His identity as the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke could indeed be of great help at this time.

Yuwen Tuo rubbed Xiao Xiao's hair and said, "Xiao Xiao, you go to Star Luo City first. We will meet up there later."

Saying this, he quietly leaned close to Xiao Xiao's ear and transmitted sound secretly: "Remember the matter I asked you to handle. Once you get there, find Jiang Peng, the captain of Di Ao Academy who came to participate in the competition. They don't have this kind of inspection mission, so they should arrive early. Convey my words to him!"

"Mm, Tuo Tuo, you must be careful and pay attention to your safety," Xiao Xiao replied obediently.

She wouldn't cause any trouble.

She knew that Yuwen Tuo cared about only her and Ling Luochen. Ling Luochen had strong ability and with a Level 6 defensive soul tool, she definitely had the power to protect herself.

So as long as she didn't go to that dangerous place, Yuwen Tuo would have no worries and could concentrate on eliminating his enemies.

Following the others, Yuwen Tuo finally left Shrek Academy.

Flying in the air, he looked back at the academy, which was getting smaller and smaller, until it completely disappeared from view.

Yuwen Tuo thought to himself, "Shrek, I finally left. This departure, I will not return... no, I should say, one day I will actively return and make your Shrek turn into smoke and clouds. The hatred of these six years must ultimately be settled."
