215 Chapter 214 It’s a beautiful thought (2 in 1)
At the guesthouse, Shrek Academy room.
Seemingly worried that Liu Erlong would hurt Tang San, Xiao Wu followed along all the way. After entering the room, Flender told the crowd to wait outside and instructed Dai Mubai to carry Tang San into the bedroom, while he carried Yu Xiaogang into another bedroom, with Liu Erlong following behind him.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, followed Dai Mubai into the other bedroom, and when Dai Mubai placed Tang San on the bedroom bed, she sat on the edge of the bed smoothly and looked up at Dai Mubai, "Boss Dai, you go out and rest first, I can take care of this place just fine."
Dai Mubai was clear in his heart what Xiao Wu was guarding against, and didn't say anything more, nodding his head and turning to leave.
Right at that moment, on the other side, Liu Erlong, who had closed the door to the room, walked to the bedside and sat down, gritting her teeth and looking at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang, she raised her head to look at Flender, and just as she wanted to open her mouth, Flender took the lead with a forced voice.
"Erlong, don't do anything stupid."
Then with a complicated look, he said somewhat dispiritedly, "He is, after all, Clear Sky Douluo's son."
Liu Erlong's fists were immediately clenched, " Xiaogang has taught him for so many years with his heart and soul out, and even went to that woman for him to ask about the Twin Martial Soul Cultivation Method. Xiaogang has fallen to this state all because of him. But as a result, he has raised a white-eyed wolf."
"If only I could have seen that he was this kind of person earlier, Xiaogang would have never ended up like this." Her voice was tinged with a hint of self-reproach and indignation.
Flender also couldn't help but feel anger inside, the fist on his thigh was then clenched, leaving aside the fact that Liu Erlong didn't notice, he didn't see it either. But what can be done? Tang San's father is Tang Hao, they simply have no possibility of confrontation.
If they bled Tang San without permission, Tang Hao might retaliate and find a chance to kill them all later.
Needless to say, Tang Hao might be somewhere around Tang San's bedroom right now. As a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Clan, and possessing innate full spirit power and a twin martial soul, Tang San's arrival in Spirit City was undoubtedly throwing himself into the den of thieves, and Tang Hao couldn't possibly rest assured, and had definitely followed him over to watch a long time ago.
At first, Zhao Wuji was beaten this way.
Thinking of this, his gaze couldn't help but turn bleak, as he sighed, "Hey, everything has to wait until Tang San wakes up."
"Hehe, do you think someone like him would agree?" Liu Erlong's face revealed a trace of misery.
"Willing or not is one thing, doing it or not is another." Flender frowned slightly, no longer lowering his voice, "If you do it, you can at least salvage your reputation. He can completely make up an excuse, saying that his elder gave the herb and that he doesn't know the healing effects himself, and we can also help him explain. If he doesn't do it, treating his master like this will definitely bring him disdain and scorn from the world."
When he said this, Lin Manshan's figure could not help but flash through his mind, and his pupils could not help but light up, but only for a moment, and then dimmed again.
If Yu Xiaogang had apologised to Lin Manshan first after he woke up back then, and now expelled Tang San and drew a clear relationship with him. With Yu Xiaogang's current situation, without a martial soul, being just an ordinary person, and not having the ability to reproduce, he was no threat to Lin Manshan at all. Plus he could then make Shrek Academy merge into Skywalker Academy as payment, so maybe Lin Manshan would make a move.
But now, it was too late.
After a series of things before, he also knew Lin Manshan's character in his heart, making a clear distinction between grudges and treating his friends extremely well for sure. But for those who have offended him, he will not show the slightest bit of leniency. Yu Xiaogang had offended him in the early years before, and after being saved by Lin Manshan, after sobering up, he neither thanked him nor apologised. No matter who this was directed at, it would definitely leave a very bad impression.
With Lin Manshan's temperament, he might never make a move again.
"Maybe." Hearing Flender's analysis, Liu Erlong's expression eased a little, and she nodded her head slightly.
Glancing at Yu Xiaogang, she added, "Boss Flender, when we return to Heaven Dou City, I'll bring Xiaogang and leave the academy. Now that Xiaogang has been banned by the Martial Spirit Hall, if I continue to stay in the academy with Yu Xiaogang, I'm afraid that it will result in a mass withdrawal of instructors and students."
Upon hearing this, Flender's brows furrowed and he hastily shook his head.
"It is precisely because Xiaogang was banned by the Martial Spirit Hall that you guys are even more not allowed to leave the academy and the Heaven Dou City. The forces of the Martial Spirit Hall are spread across the two empires, and if you are found outside, you will most likely be targeted and attacked, although you have the strength of a Spirit Saint, you will not be able to hold up against the crowds of people. Moreover, nowadays, Xiaogang has no spirit power, and his body and bones are weak, how can he withstand this kind of fugitive life?"
"Erlong, don't worry, I already have a solution for this matter."
"When we get back, I will immediately announce that you have separated from the academy and left midway. Then have Zhao Wuji and the others find a secluded place in the forest behind the academy to build a hut for you as a residence. I, on the other hand, will live in your original residence, attracting the eyes of outsiders while providing you with your daily needs. In this way, you will be able to live in seclusion within the academy at ease."
Liu Erlong fell silent and nodded slightly.
Not long after, in the living room, the Shrek group gathered. Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu both stayed in the bedroom and did not come out.
Seeing that all were silent, Flender squeezed out a slight smile and took the lead to speak, "The Spirit Master Tournament is coming to an end, although it's a bit of a pity to stop at the top three, with our team's strength, it's already extremely impressive to have achieved such a result. Everyone's performance in the arena is also noteworthy, and the training during this period of time has not been wasted. Thus, in this Spirit Master Tournament, we are considered to have concluded quite perfectly."
"And now that your strength and age have reached the requirements for graduation, it's time for us to part ways. What are your plans for the future, you can tell me now, and if there is anything you need from me, ask as soon as possible, and I will do my best to fulfil it."
Upon hearing this, Oscar subconsciously glanced at Ning Rongrong with his afterglow, it was undeniable that after this period of time, he did like Ning Rongrong, and in his heart, he had always had the idea of joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to start his pursuit.
However, once he thought about the difference in their backgrounds and Ning Rongrong's attitude towards him usually, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. He could tell that the kindness Ning Rongrong showed towards him usually was more of a desire to solicit him rather than a liking. To talk about cultivation resources, there was no shortage in today's Shrek Academy, and with Flender and Zhao Wuji by his side, he didn't have to worry about hunting for spirit rings. Moreover, he can also live a more free life regularly.
But by joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, he would probably lose this freedom, and not necessarily succeed in his pursuit of Ning Rongrong.
Thinking of this, his gaze couldn't help but turn to look at Flender, who had brought him up. Tang San was thin-skinned and unsympathetic, he could even watch his own master die, what happened today had also dealt a considerable blow to him, he didn't want to turn into a person like Tang San, and be spurned by the world.
In addition, regarding what happened these days, Flender certainly wouldn't be able to feel good in his heart right now.
One had to do something about it.
Besides, why should I give up an entire forest for a big tree that I can't climb high enough? There are quite a few pretty good girls in Shrek Academy as well.
Considering this, Oscar couldn't help but say, "Dean, I want to follow you back to the academy."
"You have raised me since I was young, and it can be said that I wouldn't be where I am now without you. Perhaps, I can be a teacher at the academy in the future, and accompany you when I have nothing to do, and when you grow old, I'll give you elderly care, so I'll be able to live up to the kindness you've shown me by raising me all these years."
Hearing this, Flender instantly revealed a look of surprise on his face, which then turned to relief, the haze that had been building up within his heart because of Tang San's matter also instantly dispersed quite a bit, he immediately grinned, "Good good good, I didn't raise you for so many years in vain."
"Dean Flender, I'll also follow you back to the academy to help." Dai Mubai chimed in, in this current situation, he definitely couldn't go back to the Star Luo Empire, he could only continue to stay in the Heaven Dou Empire. Flender, Oscar and the other original Shrek Academy instructors and students were the group of people he was most familiar with in the Heaven Dou Empire, so instead of going through the trouble of finding another way out, it would be better to stay and forget all the problems.
"It's fine, but you can't harm the younger girls in the academy in the future." Flender, whose mood was obviously much lighter, joked.
"." Being exposed in front of everyone, Dai Mubai could only laugh awkwardly.
Then he heard Ma Hongjun's statement, "Since the brothers are all here, I'll stay as well." Saying that he turned his head to look at Flender, "However, Master, I'm your only disciple, you know, I have this Evil Fire problem..."
Flender immediately choked, turned his head to look at Ma Hongjun, gritted his teeth and said, "Honestly, fatty, I'm now a little regretful of accepting you as a disciple. Other people have disciples who are filial to their masters, but I still have to pay money by taking you in, and I definitely can't count on you for my old age in the future."
"This is a martial soul defect, I can't help it," Ma Hongjun instantly felt aggrieved.
Flender slanted a glance at him, "OK, at that time I will pay for you to go to the auction house in Heaven Dou City to pick a few, you can't count on the academy's younger girls and sisters, you'll have to restrain yourself in the future, or don't blame me for expelling you from the academy, I can't afford to be disgraced."
"Hehehe. Okay, okay, thank you master!" Ma Hongjun was instantly delighted.
After saying that, as if he suddenly gained courage inside, he turned his head to look at Jiang Zhu, "Sister Jiang Zhu, why don't you consider me? For your sake, I can consider giving up the vulgar girls outside and work hard to lose weight in the future, you have to believe in the potential of a fat man."
"Especially a fatty with a Fire Phoenix Martial Soul."
At these words, Jiang Zhu was startled, then pursed her lips and smiled, "Then let's wait until you finish losing weight and become a handsome man."
Ma Hongjun instantly had a bitter look on his face, and then saw Jiang Zhu turn her head to look at Flender and say respectfully, "Dean Flender, I'm going to graduate and go home first, then go out for a walk to gain insights. As for the future, if there are no surprises, returning to the academy to become an instructor will be my first choice. Dean Liu Erlong has devoted her heart to support me for so many years, it is only right for me to repay a little."
"Dean Flender, the same goes for me." On the other side, Huang Yuan and Jing Ling followed and nodded their heads, although they didn't like Yu Xiaogang and Tang San in their hearts, they still had a good impression of Liu Erlong and Flender as well as Instructor Qin Ming.
Flender nodded, "It's good to go out and travel, to have a look at the outside world, it's not wrong to experience more."
Just as the words fell, Ma Hongjun's head immediately approached from the side, "Sister Jiang Zhu, why don't we form a team? You're an auxiliary spirit master, it's quite inconvenient to go out, but it's not the same if you have a powerful Attack System Spirit Master like me, who can also fly accompanying you."
"Hehe, fatty, the most dangerous of all is you, right?" Dai Mubai instantly snorted.
"If you follow, Jiang Zhu would have to worry if you would suddenly have a beastly outburst one day!"
Ma Hongjun was instantly displeased, and immediately retorted, "Boss Dai, you can insult my character, but you can never insult my integrity. I, Ma Hongjun, also have a bottom line in what I do." Saying this, he glanced at the bedroom door with his afterglow and lowered his voice, "Not like a certain person."
It was fine if he didn't say this, but when he did, Flender's face froze, and the rest of the people also fell into silence.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhu also spoke out to break the silence, her gaze looking towards Ma Hongjun as she nodded.
"I'll think about it when we get back."
Having a flying spirit master, who could carry you away in case of danger, was indeed an insurance when going out.
"I'll wait for your good news." Ma Hongjun instantly revealed a silly smile.
At this time, Qin Ming couldn't help but interject, "Dean Flender, I'll stay and help you too."
Only then did Flender reveal a smile, "Before anything else, thanks a lot."
"It should be expected, back then, if it weren't for Dean, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today." Qin Ming responded with a smile.
"Dean Flender, after I graduate, I'm supposed to return to the clan to help out." By the way, I have to tell the clan head about what happened today. Tai Long scratched his head and chimed in, honestly speaking, after these days' experience, he didn't think favourably about the clan following Tang San.
How could a person who could even watch his master die be worth following?
"It's good." Flender nodded slightly, the destination of the students of the clan had long been predetermined, so he naturally wouldn't force the matter. As the words fell, he turned his head towards Ning Rongrong and smiled, "Rongrong, I'll send you to Sect Master Ning's room later."
"Dean Flender, the tournament isn't over yet. I might as well watch the finals with everyone tomorrow before returning to the clan with my father." Ning Rongrong smiled, and inwardly thought, 'When the tournament is over, Dad will probably come to personally pick me up, so maybe I can pull a few more strings.'
Other things aside, Oscar, who possessed innate full spirit power, wasn't bad, and his character was passable as well.
Flender nodded, "Good."
Although they had already been eliminated, they still had to go to the finals to see it, as strong teams faced off against each other, the students would be able to gain something from watching it. Moreover, if they were absent and left their rest area empty, it was likely that they would deteriorate their relationship with Martial Spirit Hall even more.
"In that case, let's all go back to our rooms and rest first. When mealtime arrives, we will dine together." Flender continued.
Thus, the crowd disbanded and went to their respective rooms.
Time passed little by little, even after dinner, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San still hadn't woken up.
Because they didn't need to fight again, the crowd started chatting in the living room.
On the other side of the room, Sword Douluo, who had just finished eating, and Ning Fengzhi were also chatting.
"Fengzhi, this Tang San, isn't worth trusting or soliciting at all." Sword Douluo said with disdain flashing in his eyes.
"Ai, I was the one who misjudged." Ning Fengzhi also sighed.
"Then what should we do next?" Sword Douluo couldn't help but ask.
"Although Tang San is unbearable, it's not appropriate to make enemies for the time being, or else what we did before will be wasted. However, when the Spirit Master Tournament is over, Rongrong is also considered to have graduated normally from Shrek Academy, so it won't matter if we don't come into contact with Tang San in the future." Ning Fengzhi fell into a deep thought, "However, Tang San is by no means our first choice for cooperation. If Tang San takes the helm of the Clear Sky Clan in the future, with his character, if he grows up smoothly, he might not only not help our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, but would also develop a desire to annihilate and annex it."
"I'm afraid that it is not an if, but an inevitability." Sword Douluo frowned slightly.
"Perhaps, in the future, we'll need to switch allies." Ning Fengzhi continued, "Compared to Tang San, Lin Manshan's character is clearly far superior, and his potential is no worse than Tang San. Being a person with well-defined feelings and grudges, he's a good person to work with."
"So, when the Spirit Master Tournament is over, I'll think of a way to arrange for Rongrong to enter the Skywalker Academy to study on the grounds of furthering her education. At worst, I will arrange for some of our disciples to enter the Skywalker Academy, and of course, some disciples will be arranged to Shrek Academy as well."
"No matter what, the façade still needs to be maintained."
"But, Fengzhi, the Yu Xiaogang at present..." Sword Douluo couldn't help but express.
"Don't worry, Flender is a shrewd businessman, he'll find a way to resolve this." Ning Fengzhi gave a slight nod and continued, "Other than that, in terms of industry, when we go back, I'll find a way to negotiate with Dugu Bo and reach a partnership. Now that the Skywalker Academy has the Breaking Clan on board, the quality of the medicines they refine has improved quite a bit compared to what the Ye Clan produced before, and the clan really needs it as well."
Sword Douluo nodded slightly, "For the time being, it can only be done this way."
As if thinking of something, he suddenly added, "In addition, if Rongrong can be with Lin Manshan, I have no problem with it. As for the clan's inheritance, at our current age, if you are not satisfied with those sons of yours, it's not too late to cultivate grandchildren."
"Let's wait until we get back." Ning Fengzhi nodded with a complicated expression, then slowly got up.
"Uncle Chen, there's nothing else to discuss for the time being, so you can go back to your room and rest as well."
"Mm." Sword Douluo nodded, followed by getting up and heading towards the bedroom on the side.
Not long after, inside another room.
''Ning Fengzhi, you're thinking quite beautifully.'' Lin Manshan skimmed his mouth, then his gaze looked in another direction.
"Tang Hao, what choice will you make?"
