Chapter 67 Qin Ming persuades everyone to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy
Faced with Yu Xiaogang's pleading look, Qin Ming did not immediately step forward to help him out as he had expected.
On the contrary, Qin Ming frowned slightly, and a barely perceptible look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He left school early and didn't know this so-called "master".
But he had seen everything that had just happened—driven the students away, angered the dean, and now tried to overstep his bounds and sell the academy.
This way of doing things is really quite unsightly.
"Cough."
Qin Ming coughed lightly, but instead of pulling Dai Mubai away, he looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Although the tone maintained basic politeness, it conveyed a coldness that kept people at a distance.
"This... teacher."
"Although I, as a graduate, should not interfere in the internal affairs of the academy, there is one thing that I think Mu Bai is right about."
"You are just a teacher hired by the academy, not the dean."
"The final decision on Shrek Academy's fate, and even its future direction, can only be made by Dean Flander."
"You're being a bit presumptuous by rushing to make decisions for the dean."
These words, spoken neither servile nor arrogant, were piercingly incisive.
Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale and then red in an instant, even more embarrassing than when Dai Mubai grabbed his collar earlier.
Being accused of "overstepping his bounds" to his face by outsiders, where does he put his old face?
Qin Ming ignored Yu Xiaogang's embarrassment, turned his head to look at Dai Mubai, whose face was full of anger, and his eyes became sincere and fervent:
"Mu Bai, let go first. Let your senior finish speaking."
Dai Mubai snorted. Although his face was still full of hostility, Qin Ming was, after all, his senior, and he was doing this for the good of Shrek Academy, so he had to give him face.
He reluctantly let go, clapping his hands dismissively as if he had touched something dirty.
Seeing this, Qin Ming continued:
"My suggestion that everyone go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not to make Shrek students live under someone else's roof, nor is it to covet the wealth and luxury there."
"My idea is to use someone else's resources to achieve our goals."
Qin Ming surveyed the crowd, his voice steady and powerful:
"What you lack is a qualification to participate in the competition, while what the Heaven Dou Royal Academy lacks is a team that can fight tough battles."
"Borrowing their spots to participate in the competition and utilizing their top-notch simulated training environment to improve your strength. But this does not mean you have to sell yourselves into slavery."
"Once the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies concludes, and once you shine on that stage, you will naturally gain fame."
"For the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they also won the championship that year and gained fame."
"Both sides get the reputation they wanted, it's a win-win situation."
A light shone in Qin Ming's eyes, a light that reflected his deepest love for his alma mater:
"By then, you will have achieved great success. You can take this honor and reputation back here, or go anywhere else, and hang up the Shrek Academy sign again!"
"At that time, Shrek Academy will no longer be that worthless, unregistered school, but a prestigious academy on the continent!"
"We will have both strength and reputation, and we can also preserve Dean Flander's hard work."
"This is why I invited you."
These words were well-reasoned and reasonable, and they painted a truly feasible picture of Shrek's future.
Dai Mubai's initially irritable mood gradually calmed down when he heard the words "rebuild Shrek Academy" and "preserve the Dean's hard work".
He took a deep breath, looked at Qin Ming, and the hostility in his eyes disappeared, replaced by respect.
"Senior!"
Dai Mubai nodded, his voice hoarse:
"That's human language."
"Unlike some people who keep talking about the future, but are actually only thinking about their own selfish interests."
After speaking, he glanced coldly at Yu Xiaogang, who was straightening his collar and still in shock, and a disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth:
"You're lucky this time, a senior pleaded for you."
"From now on, you should know your place."
"Don't really think of yourself as Shrek's master, you don't deserve it."
Yu Xiaogang lowered his head, his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves, his nails digging into his flesh.
Humiliation.
An unprecedented humiliation.
But he dared not refute, much less look up into Dai Mubai's murderous eyes.
He could only frantically try to comfort himself in his heart:
It's alright. Once we reach Heaven Dou City, and Tang San makes a name for himself in the tournament, proving my theory, then you blind fools will naturally kneel down and beg me for forgiveness...
Qin Ming ignored Yu Xiaogang, who was acting like a clown, and didn't care about the other party's feelings at all.
It's a waste of time to even glance at someone who is unworthy of their position and only knows how to abuse their power.
He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on the silent figure at the very back.
That was the person who shocked him the most tonight.
"Junior Ye."
Qin Ming's smile became more genuine, and his tone carried undisguised admiration:
"You were truly more powerful than I imagined in that battle. In all my years of teaching at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I have never seen a control-type Soul Master with such absolute dominance as you."
"To be honest, with your participation, I am fully confident that we can win the championship of the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies."
At this point, Qin Ming paused, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes.
Before coming, Dean Flander specifically warned that Ye Liuyun was aloof, acted entirely on his whims, and was a difficult "troublemaker" to deal with.
"So... would you be willing to come with us to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
The moment those words were spoken, the air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.
All eyes were on Ye Liuyun.
Ning Rongrong's big eyes lit up instantly, her hands clasped together, and she screamed wildly in her heart:
Say yes! Say yes now!
Heaven Dou City? That's her territory!
As long as Ye Liuyun goes to Heaven Dou City, he will enter the influence range of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Then we can let her father, Ning Fengzhi, who is eager to find talented people, meet this peerless genius.
He's handsome and capable, and although he's a bit aloof, that's not a flaw.
If we could recruit him into the sect as a son-in-law, that would be perfect.
Ning Rongrong was making her own plans.
Xiao Wu, standing to the side, also looked on with anticipation; she was simply curious about what big cities were like.
Small towns are safe, but they're so boring. I want to go out and have some fun.
As for Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others, their expressions were somewhat complicated.
Emotionally, they disliked this arrogant and always sabotaging guy, and even wished him dead.
But rationally, they had to admit that Zhu Zhuqing was gone, and if Ye Liuyun didn't come too, the Shrek team's strength really wouldn't be enough.
Reason prevailed over emotion; they decided it was best to have Ye Liuyun help them win the championship before anything else.
Under the gaze of the crowd.
Ye Liuyun did not put on airs as everyone expected, nor did he utter any shocking or sarcastic remarks.
He just stood there quietly.
He then nodded slightly.
"I'll go."
Just two simple words.
There were no unnecessary words, no conditions were mentioned, and not even a slight change in tone.
This surprised Qin Ming, and all the persuasive words he had prepared suddenly became useless.
"Uh... good! That's great!"
Qin Ming was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was unexpected, they were also glad that the team's strongest fighter had been saved.
Ye Liuyun also smiled along with everyone else.
Of course he has to go.
That's where his planned escape opportunity lies.
