"How is your sister?"
Flander asked nervously, holding a cup of cheap tea.
After signing the acquisition agreement, a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. Now, he only wanted to know how Liu Erlong was doing.
Yu Xiaowei glanced disdainfully at the tea in his hand, which contained only two or three tea leaves and emitted a strange smell.
He calmly put the teacup back on the table and shrugged.
"Thanks to your Golden Triangle, she's fallen out with my father. They haven't spoken for over twenty years."
"Plus, she doesn't want the money my father gives her, so these past few years she's just barely managed to keep the academy running."
"If it weren't for my father-in-law, Ning Fengzhi, sponsoring a large sum of money out of my sake, she probably would have had to sell the academy like you."
Flander looked embarrassed. He was the only guest at Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang's wedding, and he was well aware that Yu Luomian had brought people to cause trouble. He
just hadn't expected the father and daughter to have such a strained relationship.
Liu Erlong had never mentioned these difficulties in his communications with him; he had always assumed that Blue Tyrant Academy was doing quite well.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he looked at Yu Xiaowei suspiciously, asking,
"Wait a minute, you just said that a Title Douluo was teaching at your academy. How could it have come to the point where you almost had to sell the academy?"
"Dugu Bo owes me money, and he's working at the academy to pay it off. Is there a problem with that?"
Yu Xiaowei rolled her eyes and said irritably.
Owes money?
Flander was stunned. A Title Douluo owes money?
Yu Xiaowei glanced at his face and complained,
"It makes me angry just thinking about it. Back then, you two were involved in a love triangle, and now my older sister is almost fifty and still unmarried."
"Although my older sister doesn't have my father's surname, she's still the eldest daughter of the prestigious Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock if word got out?"
These words made Flander's face burn, and he stammered.
"How could your sister even tell you about this?"
"Heh, after hearing all this from my sister, I feel so sorry for her."
Yu Xiaowei leaned forward, his hands on the table, staring into Flander's eyes, and said, word by word,
"Tell me, how could my sister like that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang?"
Flander suddenly stood up, his movement so forceful that the chair behind him was overturned.
He slammed his hands heavily on the table, his eyes flashing with malice, and glared fiercely at Yu Xiaowei, gritting his teeth.
"I don't care what you think of Yu Xiaogang, but he's my brother, Erlong's lover, and I won't allow you to talk about him like that."
"Hmph, loves his own cousin?"
Flander immediately deflated. The word 'cousin' was something not only Yu Xiaogang feared like a tiger, but even he couldn't accept it.
"Alright, I won't talk about these family scandals with you anymore. I have something to do, so I'm leaving now. See you in Tiandou City."
Seeing Flander's expression, Yu Xiaowei's lips curled up, and he got up and left.
The seed has been planted; now it's up to him to show his skills.
Actually, before coming to Soto City, he had already planned how to deal with Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.
That was to bring Flander and Liu Erlong together.
Flander was a man of integrity and loyalty. Although his character wasn't great—he was a swindler—he was quite good to his students.
Especially when facing the Fierce God Team, he resolutely opposed it.
Later, when facing Dugu Bo, he was indignant that the academy had been insulted.
During the Soul Master Competition, facing Bibi Dong, he even made arrangements for his own affairs, determined to protect his disciples despite his mere Soul Saint cultivation.
In short, he had flaws in minor matters, but was loyal and righteous in important ones, with a strong sense of responsibility towards his students, especially his deep affection for Liu Erlong. He was certainly a good candidate for a sister-in-law.
However, he couldn't rush things now. His older sister's feelings for Yu Xiaogang were too deep; he needed a lot of time to change her mind.
Judging by the time, the Shrek Academy people would be returning from the Star Dou Great Forest soon.
More importantly, Yu Xiaogang was also coming.
He decided not to return to Soto City and would wait here.
After all, he hadn't seen Yu Xiaogang yet, and it would be easy to miss him in Soto City.
Early morning on the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest.
A burly middle-aged man emerged from the forest with four men and two women.
Everyone bore some kind of injury, especially the middle-aged man, who was not only bruised and swollen but also limping.
However, they all wore relaxed expressions, seemingly having made a considerable haul.
"Let's travel a little further, and we can rest in the town," Zhao Wuji said with a smile.
At the mention of the town, Dai Mubai and the others' expressions immediately changed, and they shook their heads repeatedly.
"Teacher Zhao, we're not tired, let's go straight back to the academy."
"Yes, Teacher Zhao,
we don't need to rest." "Teacher Zhao, let's hurry back to the academy. It's still early; if we travel at full speed, we can still have dinner tonight."
Zhao Wuji seemed to have thought of something unpleasant; he touched the wound on his face and said helplessly.
"Alright, full speed ahead, back to the academy."
Looking at the cheering students, Zhao Wuji showed a satisfied smile.
This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, although full of ups and downs, had a good result overall.
Especially Xiao Wu and Tang San, at only 12 years old, both of them had advanced to the Soul Master level.
Although they couldn't compare to the monster from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they were already top geniuses among their peers.
Just thinking about that little monster made his wound ache again.
Strangely enough, Zhao Wuji had been having a run of bad luck lately.
Before setting off, he was beaten up by Haotian Douluo.
In the town, he was beaten up by the Soul Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus. When
he arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest, if it weren't for Haotian Douluo's reputation, the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny would probably have given him a beating too.
Then, for some reason, he encountered the so-called King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, on the outskirts, and got a good beating from him, almost losing two students in the process.
But despite all the stumbling and falling, he managed to complete his mission.
With the enhanced effect of Oscar's upgraded sausages, they actually covered the nearly 500-kilometer journey from the Star Dou Great Forest to the academy before nightfall.
Seeing Shrek Academy's gate in the distance, Oscar laughed heartily.
"Finally back! It feels so good to be home!"
Zhao Wuji glared at him, urging them to hurry back and rest, as he still needed to report to Flander about their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just as the group was about to enter the school gate, a reclining chair caught their attention.
The students exchanged bewildered glances. What was this thing doing at the school gate?
As they approached, they saw a familiar figure on the recliner, and their eyelids twitched.
It was Yu Xiaowei again.
After Zhao Wuji was beaten up by Yu Luomian, he had told them about Yu Xiaowei's devilish name and repeatedly warned them not to mess with this bastard, and to stay far away if they saw him again.
But now he was blocking the academy gate. What were they going to do?
Zhao Wuji glanced back.
He saw Dai Mubai and Oscar looking ashen-faced, Ma Hongjun trembling like a leaf, Tang San and Xiao Wu holding hands tightly and backing away, and even the usually expressionless Zhu Zhuqing looking terrified.
Seeing that his students were all scared out of their wits, he could only bite the bullet and step forward, shouting in a stern but weak voice.
"Yu Xiaowei, we have no past grudges or recent conflicts with you, so why are you targeting us like this?"
"Besides, these students of mine have either been beaten or insulted by you, and your father has already beaten me up. And you still want to block the school gate and humiliate us? Isn't that going too far!"
Yu Xiaowei raised an eyelid, sat up straight, lazily stretched, pointed behind the group, and laughed.
"What do I want with you? Who am I looking for?"
The group turned around quickly, following his finger.
A middle-aged man, about forty years old, had appeared behind them. He had an ordinary appearance, short black hair parted in a 3/7 style, hands behind his back, and an indescribable air about him.
"Teacher!"
Tang San immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, then looked at Yu Xiaowei with a puzzled expression.
He didn't recognize the boy who claimed to be looking for him, but felt his face looked strangely familiar.
Looking at the face that was almost a carbon copy of Yu Yuanzhen's, Yu Xiaowei straightened up and walked over, saying as he went,
"Hello, cousin I've never met before."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Xiaowei. You might not know me, but you definitely know my sister. Her name is Liu Erlong."
Upon hearing the name 'Liu Erlong,' Yu Xiaogang's eyelids twitched, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists. (
