Flander was a bit angry lately.
As for why he was angry, just look at the bill in front of him.
At the bottom of the long bill, it was clearly written:
Gold Soul Coin Balance: 122.
Flander looked at another subsidy application he had submitted earlier with a headache; the huge words 'Rejected' on it were shocking.
"Damn Barak Kingdom,"
he cursed angrily.
Unlike other advanced Soul Master academies that had sponsorships, Shrek Academy only had a small amount of funding from Dai Mubai's family.
Their other means of making money were enrollment fees and betting in the Great Soul Arena.
Taking advantage of their lack of money, the Barak Kingdom, under the pretext of sponsorship funds, demanded that Shrek graduates pledge allegiance to the royal family.
Flander refused this unreasonable demand without hesitation.
He would rather the academy go bankrupt than have his students become someone else's dogs.
This was a matter of principle.
Third Sister was wealthy, but Flander, after all, was a renowned Soul Saint, the Four-Eyed Cat-Owl, and he couldn't bring himself to borrow money.
"Sigh—"
Flander sighed heavily.
Soul Masters were different from ordinary people.
For an ordinary family of three, one gold soul coin was enough to live on for several months.
But for Soul Masters, one gold soul coin was only enough for a few days' worth of food, not to mention the expenses for other cultivation resources.
Therefore, 122 gold soul coins seemed like a lot, but with six students and five teachers, even if they cut back on their spending, it would only last for a month or two.
Short of money! Short of money! Short of money!
Not only could the academy's dilapidated buildings not be renovated, but everyone had to find their own meals, let alone the more luxurious simulated cultivation environment.
Bang bang bang—
"Is Flander here?"
Accompanying the knocking was an impolite shout.
"Come in."
Flander felt the voice sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it, so he called out in confusion.
When he saw the tall young man enter, he stood up in surprise.
Wasn't this Erlong's younger brother?
Yu Xiaowei glanced around Flander's office with a hint of disdain, then casually sat down opposite Flander, crossing his legs.
"You are, Erlong's younger brother?"
"You've come to Shrek Academy to enroll?"
Flander's tone was uncertain.
After all, Yu Xiaowei had everything he wanted in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family; it was unlikely he would come here.
To his surprise, Yu Xiaowei said dismissively,
"Even a dog wouldn't come to your lousy academy."
"You're talking nonsense!!!"
Flander was furious and cursed.
Yu Xiaowei's words had crossed his line.
What he hated most in his life was being told that his academy was lousy.
However, Yu Xiaowei's next words left him speechless.
"Our Blue Tyrant Academy has a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo, as our teacher. Does your academy even have a Title Douluo teacher?"
"Blue Tyrant Academy has money and manpower, especially me, the chief disciple. I'm not even 13 yet, and my soul power is already level 42."
"What does your Shrek Academy have? Just those few crooked bastards I beat up, who didn't even dare utter a sound? Is this the kind of monsters you recruit?"
"Not to mention, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy is my own sister, Liu Erlong. Tell me, what reason do I have to attend your lousy academy?"
Yu Xiaowei's voice was like sharp blades, stabbing viciously into Flander's heart.
Especially when he heard that he was already level 42 before he was even 13, Flander almost jumped up.
What kind of freak is this?!
"Then why did you come here? Did you come here to deliberately humiliate my academy?"
Flander was now furious.
So what if she's Erlong's brother? Even if Erlong came, she couldn't humiliate his academy like this.
Just as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to punch someone, Yu Xiaowei pulled a large box from his soul tool and slammed it heavily on the table.
The box opened, and the light from the gold soul coins illuminated Flander's face, turning it gold.
"Here, 100,000 gold soul coins. I'm buying your Shrek Academy."
Flander jolted, forcing himself to turn his head away from the gold soul coins, and said calmly.
"No, Shrek Academy is my life's work. I can't just leave it like this."
*Bang!
* Another large box was thrown out.
Yu Xiaowei said calmly. "Two hundred thousand."
Flander's body trembled slightly, but he still said,
"No, Shrek Academy is my life's work, I can't..."
As the third box was thrown out, Flander felt himself going numb.
The sponsorship fee that the Principality of Barak had used to blackmail them was only ten thousand gold soul coins.
But now, what was in front of him was a full three hundred thousand gold soul coins.
"I—"
Bang!
"Let's discuss what will happen to my current students and teachers if you buy my academy."
"And what do you plan to do with the academy? Are we going to merge it with Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Flander's tone immediately changed, and he began to discuss the possibility of acquiring the academy with Yu Xiaowei.
He originally didn't want to sell the academy.
But
Yu Xiaowei was offering too much!
He couldn't help but be tempted.
But he still had these old brothers and students to settle.
If Yu Xiaowei simply wanted to ruin his academy, then no matter how much he offered, he would not agree.
"Shrek Academy is merging into Blue Tyrant Academy, and my older sister will still be the dean. I'll take all of your teachers, with salaries and benefits at Blue Tyrant Academy standards."
"However, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, your two students, must leave. That's the only requirement."
"As for these gold soul coins, you can keep them for yourself or use them as severance pay, it's none of my business."
Yu Xiaowei's calm words made Flander frown.
Judging from his tone, he must have thoroughly investigated the Shrek students' information before coming.
Not wanting Dai Mubai could be explained by their past fight.
But he couldn't possibly be unaware that Ma Hongjun was his disciple.
What was this? A show of force?
"I need a reasonable explanation,"
Flander said, his face grim.
"Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, do you think our Heaven Dou Empire's academy should have a place where he can study?"
"And what about Ma Hongjun? You don't know, do you? Are you planning to send this fat chicken to our Blue Tyrant Academy to harass female students?"
"How about that? Is that explanation perfect?"
Yu Xiaowei met Flander's gaze without fear, giving his reasoning.
"Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire?"
Flander's hand trembled; he truly didn't know this.
Currently, the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are at loggerheads; if it weren't for the Spirit Hall's intervention, they would probably have already gone to war.
If Dai Mubai is truly a prince of the Star Luo Empire, then he really can't enroll in the Heaven Dou City academy.
"But Hongjun is my disciple. You know what a disciple means, right? It's different from a student!"
"No, anyone else is fine, but he and Dai Mubai are absolutely not."
Flander's expression changed rapidly.
Yu Xiaowei's offer was indeed tempting, but he couldn't bear to give up his only disciple.
He pondered, trying to find a compromise.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Yu Xiaowei said softly,
"Dean Flander, my older sister said she misses you very much."
Upon hearing this, Flander froze.
He immediately stopped hesitating and said,
"Then I'll take him with me, he can stay out of the academy, right?"
"Sure."
"But let me make this clear: if I see him at Blue Tyrant Academy, I'll make sure he can never be a man again."
With that, Yu Xiaowei pulled a stack of papers from his soul tool and handed it over.
"This is the acquisition agreement, two copies. Sign your name on both."
"Then, after you've dealt with things here, just come to Heaven Dou City to find my older sister."
Flander carefully flipped through the agreement page by page, and after confirming that Yu Xiaowei hadn't tampered with it, he signed his name.
After putting away his copy, Yu Xiaowei's expression was no longer serious.
He said with a smile.
"Dean Flander, I hope you all have a pleasant time at Blue Tyrant Academy."
