The Resentful Dai Mubai, the Adorably Dazed Huang Quan

Just as Lu Mingchuan had finished enjoying Huang Quan's lap pillow and fallen asleep again in her warm embrace, Shrek was already anxiously running around like ants on a hot pan.

"I'm sorry. His injuries are too severe. I can only stabilize his condition, but his severed hand and that thing cannot be restored." An elderly man with glasses and graying hair spoke apologetically to Flender beside him.

Flender frowned deeply at those words. Combined with his shoe-sole-like face, it gave off an indescribably strange feeling. He then turned to look at the healing-system Soul King before him.

"Thank you for your help this time."

"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." The old man shook his head.

Flender nodded and watched him leave. Only after the man disappeared from sight did he return outside the ward. Looking at the circle of people gathered there, he found them all staring at him expectantly.

He shook his head gloomily. Seeing this, the crowd fell silent for a moment. After a while, Li Yusong stepped forward. With a clasp of his hands, a staff appeared in his grasp, while six soul rings emerged beneath his feet.

"Hmph. Dai Mubai is our student. How can we stand idly by after our student has suffered so much?"

"Exactly, exactly." Zhao Wuji's voice came from the side as well. Flender shook his head upon hearing it.

"Put these matters aside for now. Mubai's injuries are the most urgent concern. As for revenge, it won't be too late to discuss it after Mubai wakes up."

Although Li Yusong and Zhao Wuji were furious, they obediently returned to the crowd. The atmosphere then sank into silence.

No one knew how much time had passed before a sound came from inside the room. Everyone hurriedly entered.

"Teachers? What... happened to me?"

Looking at the group of teachers, Dai Mubai asked in a daze. Then his expression changed drastically as he recalled what had happened, and he abruptly turned to Flender.

"Principal, how are my injuries?" Dai Mubai asked hopefully.

Flender did not dare meet Dai Mubai's gaze and could only slowly shake his head. Seeing that motion, Dai Mubai's mind went completely blank. After all, his sex life for the rest of his life had already said goodbye to him.

Seeing the two fall silent, Li Yusong at the side could no longer hold himself back.

"Mubai, tell me who beat you into this state. I'll avenge you right now!"

Hearing Li Yusong's words, Dai Mubai began gritting his teeth again. However, as though he had remembered something, he deflated.

"Teacher, I don't know who he is," Dai Mubai said helplessly.

Li Yusong was rendered rather speechless. "You don't even know his martial soul?"

Dai Mubai shook his head somewhat ashamedly. Seeing this, Li Yusong was completely speechless, while Flender beside him also frowned.

"Mubai, about how old was he?"

"Probably around my age." Dai Mubai thought for a moment before answering uncertainly.

Flender nodded at those words and pondered to himself.

To defeat Mubai without even using his martial soul, he had to be at least ten Soul Power levels ahead of him, and his martial soul could not be weaker than Mubai's. To cultivate to such a level at that age, even if he was a genius, he still could not do without resources. This person's background was surely not to be underestimated, and someone must be protecting him in secret.

After thinking it over, Flender concluded that only Spirit Hall fit the conditions. Having reached that conclusion, he raised a hand to stop the teachers who were discussing how to find Lu Mingchuan.

"We can't afford to provoke this person," Flender said flatly. He then explained his analysis. After hearing it, everyone fell silent.

"We can't even seek revenge for our students. Being a teacher is really suffocating." Zhao Wuji stood up, tossed out those words, and walked straight out of the room. Li Yusong followed soon after.

Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Shao Xin understood Flender's concerns. They patted his shoulder and walked out as well.

Lying in bed, Dai Mubai watched this scene, and a flash of resentment passed through his eyes—resentment toward Lu Mingchuan. But he was destined to do nothing but resent him.

After everyone had left, Flender told Dai Mubai to "rest and recover properly" before leaving the room as well. Seeing Dai Mubai in this state made him begin to wonder whether his teachings over the years had been wrong.

As he thought, he shook his head again. "Sigh, I really am getting old, thinking so much." With that, he headed toward his room. However, compared to before, his back seemed somewhat more stooped.

The next day, Lu Mingchuan woke from a pleasant dream and, upon opening his eyes, immediately saw Huang Quan's flawless beauty from every angle.

He had only admired her for a moment when the person before him opened her eyes. Huang Quan's gaze after waking differed from usual. There was still a trace of haziness in her eyes, giving her an adorably dazed air that formed a stark contrast with her normally icy demeanor.

However, this side of Huang Quan could only be admired for a brief moment right after she woke up. Therefore, Lu Mingchuan watched her with exceptional focus, not blinking once.

After quite some time, Huang Quan came to her senses and returned to her usual appearance. The two then got up and washed.

On the streets of Suotuo City, Lu Mingchuan led Huang Quan purposefully through the shops until they saw a sign bearing three symbols together: a sword, a hammer, and a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Flender was resting in a recliner inside his shop. Even when he sensed customers arriving, he did not greet them, so Lu Mingchuan looked around on his own.

After looking around, he found that there was basically nothing good. He pretended to browse for a while, then casually picked up something resembling a watch. "How much is this?"

"One hundred Gold Soul Coins," Flender replied indifferently.

Lu Mingchuan frowned. "Fine, but I want to choose one more item from your shop."

Since the shop was filled with junk, and all of it together might not even be worth one hundred Gold Soul Coins, Flender agreed.

Seeing that, Lu Mingchuan pretended to look around for a while before casually grabbing a crystal. "I'll take this one." As he spoke, he took out a bag of Gold Soul Coins and placed it on the table beside him. Flender nodded and put it away without even looking.

After putting away the crystal, Lu Mingchuan pulled Huang Quan out of the shop. The moment they stepped outside, the system's voice sounded.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 2000 Points."

Hearing the voice by his ear, he smiled in satisfaction. It had only been a convenient little task, and 2000 was no small amount. Having achieved his goal, Lu Mingchuan took Huang Quan on a thorough stroll through Suotuo City before finally arriving at Shrek Academy in the afternoon.

As soon as they approached, they saw a long line. There was no need to guess that these people had come to hand their money over to this scam operation.

Speaking of that, Lu Mingchuan found it rather hard to understand. They only had to pay ten Gold Soul Coins to register, and if they failed, there would be no refund. Ten Gold Soul Coins was no small sum. He had a system and was a Soul Master, so it was nothing much to him.

But what about ordinary families? They had worked hard for years, saving up in hopes that their children would not end up like them. Yet after making one trip here, all those years of effort would go down the drain. It was no different from the scam rings of his previous life.
