The Dean Was Truly Starving, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai Were Dumbfounded

But since Oscar had already spoken up,

he would reluctantly go out for a round of fun.

After witnessing something that explosive, he would not be able to sleep even if he returned to the dormitory.

With that in mind, Dai Mubai put on an act as he looked at Ma Hongjun.

"Fatty, I'm only going today for Little Ao's sake, so don't get the wrong idea!"

Dai Mubai rose to his feet with righteous indignation, already picking out today's destination in his heart.

Very quickly, he made his choice.

"Today, I'll show you what real top quality looks like!"

The Dean was truly starving—he could stomach anything.

But Dai Mubai was different.

It had to be quality.

Oscar was still somewhat embarrassed when he heard that.

Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, completely let himself go upon hearing it.

That expression of his was simply absurd.

"No need to be polite, we're brothers!"

Dai Mubai patted Oscar on the shoulder, signaling for him not to be nervous.

"I'm treating today. Let's have some fun!"

Whatever else could be said about Dai Mubai, he certainly had money to burn.

With a flash, he took the lead and headed out.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance, then hurried after him.

When they passed the area where Flender's room was located,

they walked especially fast.

Ten minutes later.

Flender sat at the edge of the bed and lit his Smoking Pipe.

Then he took several deep drags.

He felt utterly refreshed!

"Phew—~!"

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Flender looked solemnly at Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang, don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll go to Suotuo City and use my connections to find Tang San."

"At most, I'll find him within a day or two!"

Half a quarter of an hour later, he had finally calmed down somewhat.

"Flender, you absolutely must keep this a secret!"

Yu Xiaogang climbed off the bed and stared intently at Flender, who was puffing away amid clouds of smoke.

"Even after we find Tang San, we can't let him discover it."

Flender nodded lightly.

"Don't worry. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who else could know?"

"How could I be stupid enough to tell anyone about something like this?"

Only then did Yu Xiaogang feel at ease.

Though he was no longer particularly resistant to it now,

it would still affect the dignified image he had as the Great Master.

Just then, as if recalling something, he raised his head again and looked at Flender.

"Also, I have two more requests."

If he did not bring them up now, while Flender was still interested,

who knew when he might grow tired of playing around?

He had to get whatever he could!

He had suffered such a huge loss, so what was wrong with enjoying a few benefits?

Flender nodded almost without hesitation.

"Go ahead. As long as it isn't too excessive, I'll agree."

"I want a dormitory large enough for Tang San and me to live in on a daily basis."

"Once we find Tang San, let him live with me. You have the authority to arrange that, right?"

Yu Xiaogang stated his first request without the slightest hesitation or courtesy.

Before Flender could react, he immediately continued.

"And one more thing: I want to become an official Teacher at Shrek Academy."

"Tang San is my disciple. I won't feel at ease if someone else teaches him."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang gently shook his head.

His face was filled with pride.

Flender frowned slightly.

He naturally had no issue with the first request.

But the second one seemed unreasonable to him.

Becoming an official Teacher at Shrek Academy meant that every student would have to receive his instruction.

Even the Teacher with the lowest cultivation at Shrek Academy was at the Soul Emperor level.

Even if Flender himself agreed to such a request,

it would very likely disrupt the teaching order, and the other Teachers would not agree either.

That put Flender, as the Dean, in quite a difficult position.

Yu Xiaogang did indeed possess many theories.

But theories were merely theories in the end.

Furthermore, few people in the Spirit Master world truly accepted them.

With only rank twenty-nine Soul Power, how could he compare to the other Teachers' genuine cultivation experience?

Moreover, one thing Yu Xiaogang said made Flender particularly uncomfortable.

He said he would not feel at ease if Tang San were taught by someone else.

That did not sit well with Flender.

Was he not implying that every Teacher at his academy was inferior to him?

Flender did not believe that at all.

But given the delicate relationship between them at the moment,

Flender could not directly refuse him either, and he suddenly felt quite troubled.

He had already compromised a great deal.

Letting Tang San join Shrek Academy through the back door after finding him would already entail enormous risk.

The other Teachers at the academy probably would not think highly of Tang San's talent at all.

Though he had agreed to do certain things for Yu Xiaogang, he could not let him act however he pleased.

With that in mind, Flender looked solemnly at Yu Xiaogang, his gaze fixed directly on him.

He gently shook his head and spoke seriously.

"I can agree to the first request."

At that, Flender paused for a moment before continuing.

"But I can't agree to your second request."

"As the Dean of Shrek Academy, I must be responsible for all the Teachers and students here."

After saying that, Flender took a deep drag from his pipe.

Yu Xiaogang's brow immediately furrowed upon hearing this.

"Flender, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you think I'm not qualified to be a Teacher at Shrek Academy?"

Hearing that, Flender shook his head.

"I never said that."

"The academy's Teachers and teaching assignments already form a very mature system. It isn't suitable to alter it so casually."

"However, since you're worried about Tang San, you can choose to teach him personally. That is within the permitted scope."

"Don't worry. Given our relationship now, any resources we have will definitely be prioritized for Tang San."

Flender began selling Yu Xiaogang a dream outright.

Only after hearing the last two sentences did Yu Xiaogang's expression ease slightly.

Being able to personally teach Tang San was already enough to meet his requirements.

It was just a pity that he could not get his hands on the academy's other students.

"Fine, then let's do it that way."

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

At this point, there was no other choice.

"Then you'd better find Tang San quickly."

"His strength isn't that great. I'm truly worried that something might happen to him."

Yu Xiaogang had been thinking about Tang San all along.

As his Godfather, he had truly neglected his duty.

If he had chosen to come with Tang San back then,

there would not have been so many problems.

Flender waved his hand casually.

"I'll handle it as soon as dawn breaks!"

"It's nothing major."

"Don't you trust my abilities?"

He set down the Smoking Pipe and turned to prepare for sleep.

But then he saw Yu Xiaogang again.

A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Flender's face.

"Xiaogang, on this long, dark night, how about..."
