#549 - That grand event, our mother's side
Thomas and the others had already left.
Flander still stood silently at the academy gate, his head lowered for a long time.
Hearing Qian Renjue's name, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the other girls' eyes lit up, and they took the matter to heart.
Yu Xiaogang, leaning on his crutch, stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder.
He said in a deep voice, comforting him, "Flander, we really should consider these children's futures."
"Heh."
Flander said bitterly, his voice hoarse.
"Xiaogang, you say it so easily. Shrek Academy is the result of most of my life's work."
"Is my Shrek Academy really not good enough?!"
Anyone could hear the unwillingness in Flander's words.
Dai Mubai wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words.
Shrek Academy's current problems were not just about funding, but also included student recruitment, facilities, and so on.
They didn't even have a decent classroom.
He wanted to help, but he was powerless.
Yu Xiaogang's expression didn't change because of Flander's unwillingness.
His face remained stiff as he said lightly.
"Flander, I believe you have the ability to teach the children well. But ask yourself, can Shrek Academy really provide these children with a suitable stage?"
Flander was stunned.
In his opinion, wasn't it enough for the academy to teach the students well?
As for the stage...
Where else was there for soul masters besides the soul master world?
"Xiaogang... what exactly are you trying to say? Just say it directly."
"I'm being direct."
Yu Xiaogang raised his head, looked at the scorching sun, and glanced at Flander.
"If I remember correctly, there's only a little over a year left before that grand event that will sweep the entire continent."
"Are you talking about?!"
Flander looked at Yu Xiaogang in surprise.
"It's what you think, their stage shouldn't be limited to the soul arena... but the entire continent!"
A gleam of light flashed in Yu Xiaogang's single eye.
That would also be his stage!
Flander was silent for a moment, struggling and hesitant, before his expression gradually returned to calm.
"Then let's do as you say."
"You're right, I shouldn't only consider my own pride, everything should be for the children's sake."
Hearing Flander's words, Yu Xiaogang felt relieved.
"What about the matter of choosing an academy?"
"Let's put that aside for now, I want to be alone for a while."
Flander was somewhat dispirited.
He seemed much older, his body hunched as he walked towards the interior of the academy.
His words were full of resistance.
"Anyway, I won't go to anything affiliated with the Spirit Hall..."
"Mm."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Flander's back and nodded in agreement.
The Spirit Hall's ambition was too great and too domineering.
If they were to find out about these children's talents, they would inevitably have malicious intentions.
"Teacher, what is the grand event you're talking about?"
Tang San asked, puzzled.
Ma Hongjun had chicken feathers stuck in his crotch, and Oscar had rouge on his face.
They also looked at Yu Xiaogang with confusion.
Of those present,
probably only Dai Mubai, and the three girls Ning Rongrong knew what the grand event referred to.
"Xiao San..."
Yu Xiaogang mysteriously touched Tang San's head.
"That grand event will be your opportunity to compete with the young soul masters of the entire continent!"
"Compete with the young soul masters of the entire continent?!"
A look of surprise appeared in Tang San's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
It was hard to imagine what kind of grand scene it would be.
At the same time, the pressure in his heart followed, and his motivation to cultivate was full!
Who wouldn't want to stand out in such a grand event?
He, Tang San, was no exception!
"Alright, Xiao San, you must cultivate hard. When you win the championship, your teacher will give you a big gift!"
"Teacher, don't worry, Xiao San won't let you down!"
"Mm."
A look of sadness appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face as he looked in the direction of Spirit City.
At that time.
it would also be when he retrieved the cultivation method for twin spirits.
"Tch~"
Xiao Wu curled her lips, somewhat dismissive.
She could guarantee that the championship definitely belonged to Little Brat and the others.
As for Tang San and the others.
they were completely going to deliver themselves.
As soon as they stepped into Spirit City, they might only be carried out horizontally.
And no one would dare to collect their bodies.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also had strange expressions.
Was this damn master's brain blown out by his farts?
Or had he been away from the soul master world for too long.
He didn't even know the situation of the previous soul master competition, yet he dared to set goals blindly.
It was simply dying without knowing how you died.
——
Blue Tyrant Academy, in Liu Erlong's residence.
The atmosphere was a bit strange around the small, square table filled with food.
Liu Erlong blankly held her bowl, not moving.
Watching Xue Nu stretch her neck and pick up the rice grains from the corner of Qian Renjue's mouth with her lips.
A hint of regret suddenly welled up in her heart.
She actually still cared!
Who knew that such a thing would happen even when eating a meal!
Didn't this woman know to avoid people?
Qian Renjue looked at Xue Yan leaving and smiled helplessly at Liu Erlong.
"Erlong, Xue Nu is quite straightforward..."
"I can see that."
Liu Erlong's expression was like that of a resentful woman, feeling depressed with the rice in her bowl.
"Pfft."
Ling Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
Fortunately, she never considered herself the main wife, as long as she had something to eat, it was fine.
What was infuriating was that Miss Xue Nu had become a follower.
She couldn't find an opportunity to get her mouth on him, let alone find an opportunity to sit down.
Xue Nu looked at Liu Erlong, somewhat puzzled.
"Qian Renjue, are there outsiders here, so I can't kiss you?"
"There are no outsiders."
Qian Renjue shook his head with a smile, not knowing how to explain.
He added some food for Xue Nu.
"Eat more, we'll go home after eating."
"Mm."
Xue Nu nodded, chewing slowly.
"The taste of these dishes... seems a bit like what Mom makes?"
"It's indeed very similar, eat more if you like it."
Qian Renjue nodded.
Liu Erlong looked at Xue Nu, her eyes filled with surprise and envy.
Thinking of Bibi Dong, her expression couldn't help but become dejected.
"A-Jue..."
"Mm? Erlong, what's wrong?"
Qian Renjue's chopsticks landed in Liu Erlong's bowl, his face showing incomprehension.
"She..."
Liu Erlong was conflicted, not knowing how to address her.
Struggling and hesitating.
Her face flushed as she said in a muffled voice, "Mom, what should we do about Mom's side?"
As soon as the words fell.
Liu Erlong raised her delicate face with a timid expression, nervous and evasive.
"Haha..."
Qian Renjue was stunned at first, then let out a chuckle.
"Erlong, don't worry, Mom will agree to our matter sooner or later..."
"A-Jue, don't lie to me, I understand her too."
Liu Erlong's eyes were filled with worry and certainty.
The smile on Qian Renjue's face faded, and honestly, he really didn't know what to do.
It seemed that he could only leave it to time.
"Erlong, I'm not lying to you."
"I know, maybe she'll agree sooner or later, but that's not the kind I want... that's just Mom compromising to you and accommodating me."
Liu Erlong pursed her red lips, staring straight at Qian Renjue.
She didn't want this.
Even if she really stayed by A-Jue's side like this, she might not be happy.
A-Jue would also be stuck in the middle.
Wishing everyone a happy life!
