Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"What did you say?"
Dugu Bo's voice held a hint of disbelief, a flash of shrewdness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "You want to establish an academy yourself? And then have this Senior be the Headmaster?"
Hearing this, Tang Chuan nodded, his tone firm as he said:
"Exactly, I want to create a force of my own. With our current strength, there's no need to constantly be subservient to others. Being subservient inevitably means being controlled by others, and like you, I am proud and love freedom, so naturally, I'm unwilling to be dictated to."
Frowning, Dugu Bo's heart was somewhat moved, but he still snorted coldly and said:
"It's not that I'm unwilling for this Senior to be the Headmaster."
"However, establishing an academy isn't just talk; besides needing sufficient foundation, it also requires a huge amount of startup capital. In Heaven Dou City, it even needs the Imperial Family's approval. This Senior can figure out a way with the Imperial Family, but the money…"
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Tang Chuan was stunned for a moment.
Immediately after, a golden figure instantly appeared in his mind.
The next second, Tang Chuan's heart stirred slightly, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his lips as he smiled and said, "I can solve the issues of money and the Imperial Family. You just need to be the Headmaster with peace of mind."
"Is this kid planning to go find Xue Qinghe?"
Dugu Bo was startled, his heart involuntarily trembled, and his gaze at Tang Chuan gradually became complex, he thought to himself.
"This matter is decided like this…" Stretching, Tang Chuan glanced at Dugu Bo and decided the matter with a slightly forceful tone.
"No." Dugu Bo interrupted before Tang Chuan could finish speaking:
"The thing this Senior fears most in this life is having his freedom restricted."
"I can be the Headmaster, but you must promise me one thing."
"That is, I will only be an honorary Headmaster, just a name. You will be the real Headmaster, and you will need to handle all the academy's affairs yourself; I won't help you."
Hearing this, Tang Chuan said exasperatedly, "You old fellow, you're quite lazy. Fine, I promise you this; you only need to lend your name."
"Also, no one will restrict your freedom. In a few more years, when I'm older, I'll take over the position of Headmaster."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, looking down at Tang Chuan.
At that moment, Tang Chuan was also looking at him, his eyes even revealing an emotion Dugu Bo had never seen before: a Fusion of three parts expectation and seven parts pleading.
"You really won't make me help you handle the various affairs of the academy?" Dugu Bo stroked his chin, a glint flashing in his eyes, still somewhat disbelievingly.
Tang Chuan quickly nodded and said:
"Of course. You are a Titled Douluo; having you handle the academy's affairs, I think it's a waste of your talent. However, Senior, if you have nothing to do and like to help me, I won't object."
Dugu Bo snorted exasperatedly, teasing, "You fellow, you always speak so nicely, don't go back on your word later."
"So, you're agreeing then?" Tang Chuan was overjoyed, pressing for an answer.
A smile appeared on Dugu Bo's face, and he said lightly:
"I, Dugu Bo, have always been one to repay kindness. You've helped me and my granddaughter so much; how could I refuse such a small request? Let's go!"
"Go? Where to?" Tang Chuan asked, puzzled.
Dugu Bo smiled, "This Senior never procrastinates. Aren't you going to establish an academy? We'll go back to Heaven Dou City now to choose a location and see which area is most suitable."
