Chapter 75 The Generous and Outgoing Liu Erlong
At the entrance of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Looking at the imposing plaque, Flander straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, took a deep breath, and then his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Having made up his mind, he slowly stepped forward and greeted the gatekeeper.
"Go!"
Flander pushed up his glasses, his voice booming like a bell:
"Inform your dean, Liu Erlong, that an old friend has come to visit!"
Seeing the man's demeanor, the gatekeeper dared not neglect him and quickly agreed before heading towards the academy.
Not long after, an intensely hot aura surged into the sky from the depths of the academy, accompanied by a cheerful yet somewhat irritable female voice:
"Which idiot is pretending to be someone I know now?"
Before the words were even finished, a red figure rushed out like a shooting star.
She was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties, wearing a simple blue cloth dress that couldn't hide her voluptuous figure.
Although time has left some marks around her eyes, her mature charm and the heroic spirit between her brows have only made her more captivating.
She originally came out with a murderous aura, and even the fire dragon martial soul behind her was about to possess her.
But when she saw the middle-aged man standing at the door with crystal glasses and a sly smile, she froze instantly.
The flames on her body went out instantly.
Liu Erlong rubbed her eyes and exclaimed in disbelief:
"Boss Flander?"
"Hahaha! Erlong, long time no see! Your temper is still as fiery as ever."
Flander opened his arms and laughed as he went to greet her.
"You old devil! Where have you been?!"
Liu Erlong's eyes instantly reddened, and she rushed forward, punching Flander in the chest, making the Soul Saint grimace in pain.
"I hadn't heard from you for so many years, I thought you were dead!"
"Cough cough... Gently, gently, these old bones are about to fall apart."
Flander pleaded with a wry smile, but his eyes were full of doting affection.
Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, Liu Erlong suddenly seemed to sense something and her body stiffened abruptly.
She slowly turned her head, her gaze passing over Flander and looking towards the back of the crowd.
There.
Yu Xiaogang stood with his back to the gate, his hands behind his back, his head tilted at a 45-degree angle, looking up at the sky, leaving everyone with a weathered and "lonely" back view.
Although he was trying his best to remain calm, his slightly trembling shoulders betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
Liu Erlong's voice trembled instantly, even carrying a hint of a cautious sob:
"That's... Xiao... Xiaogang?"
Upon hearing the voice that had haunted his dreams for twenty years, Yu Xiaogang's body trembled.
He sighed deeply and slowly turned around.
That stiff face carried three parts helplessness, three parts guilt, and four parts barely suppressed deep affection.
"Erlong."
He called out in a hoarse voice.
"It really is you..."
Liu Erlong could no longer hold back, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn't rush forward like she had with Flander, but stood still, gazing intently at the man she had been longing for day and night, as if afraid that this was all a dream that would shatter at the slightest touch.
Looking at the still beautiful woman before him, who had waited for him for twenty years, Yu Xiaogang's defenses completely crumbled.
The two gazed at each other deeply across the crowd.
At that moment, the surrounding students and the noisy street seemed to disappear.
Between heaven and earth, only the reflections in each other's eyes remained.
"Why..."
Flander watched this scene with mixed feelings.
He silently stepped aside, not wanting to disturb this gaze that was twenty years overdue.
A long time.
Liu Erlong wiped away her tears and smiled through them. Although her eyes remained glued to Yu Xiaogang, she didn't forget the important matter at hand:
"Alright, stop standing there like idiots. Come on, let's go inside and talk!"
...
In the backyard of the academy, there is an elegant wooden house.
Liu Erlong personally brewed tea, and the three of them sat together, as if they had returned to the days when the Golden Iron Triangle roamed the continent.
"So, you were expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
After hearing Flander's story, Liu Erlong's eyebrows shot up, and she slammed her hand on the table—that was her true temper.
"That damned prince, he's completely blind!"
"Boss Fu, don't be sad!"
Liu Erlong looked at Flander and said with great pride:
"If they won't keep you, there are plenty of other places that will!"
"Didn't you just say you wanted to join my Blue Tyrant Academy? No problem!"
Flander was secretly delighted, rubbed his hands together, and said somewhat shyly:
"Erlong, you know I don't want to hold these kids back. We only need one spot in the competition, and normally…"
"What do you mean by joining? What are the quotas?"
Liu Erlong interrupted Flander abruptly, waving her hand and uttering a startling statement:
"Brother Fu, why are you speaking to me like that? We're siblings!"
"I originally started this academy just for fun. I built it simply to wait for you and Xiaogang in this city and pass the time."
"Now that you're here, what's the point of having this academy?"
Liu Erlong stood up, her gaze fixed intently on Flander and Yu Xiaogang:
"From today onwards, Blue Tyrant Academy will be renamed!"
"Let's call it Shrek Academy!"
"Brother Fu, you become the dean! All the land, buildings, and faculty in this academy, including me, are yours!"
"How about I make you the vice dean?"
"Wh... what?"
Flander was so startled that he jumped up from his chair, his glasses nearly falling to the ground.
"Give... give it to me?"
"Erlong, this is a high-level Soul Master Academy! Its value…"
"Talking about money is vulgar!"
Liu Erlong said nonchalantly.
"Is our friendship really less important than an academy?"
After she finished speaking, she looked affectionately at Yu Xiaogang, who was standing to the side with his head down.
Flander stood there, stunned.
He looked at the woman in front of him, a woman who was forthright, generous, and willing to give everything for love.
In that instant, the heart he thought had long since died out with the passing years began to throb violently once more.
It was a feeling of being moved, a feeling of being shocked, and an overwhelming feeling of love.
Even after twenty years...
She is still the perfect Erlong.
Such deep affection and loyalty, such disregard for money, all for the sake of the love in her heart.
Flander's hands clenched tightly under the table, his nails digging into his palms.
He had clearly made up his mind long ago to bury this feeling completely for the sake of brotherhood and only be her older brother.
How could he not be moved by such a perfect woman? How could he not fall in love?
But in the end.
Flander glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who was standing next to him with shifty eyes and never dared to look Liu Erlong in the eye.
He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed that flutter of emotion back into the deepest recesses of his heart.
His face once again displayed that shrewd and cheerful smile:
"Great! Okay!"
"Little sister Erlong, since you've put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
"From now on, I'll be the dean of this new Shrek Academy! Hahaha!"
He laughed loudly.
It seems that only in this way can the heartache of that moment be concealed.
In the corner.
Having just "returned to the team" and changed his clothes, Ye Liuyun leaned against the door, quietly watching this emotional drama among middle-aged people.
Tsk.
That old devil Flander is quite the tragic figure.
But that's alright.
With this connection, Shrek Academy was able to truly establish itself in Heaven Dou City.
Everything went exactly as he planned.
Next...
We're just waiting for night to fall.
