Make a deal and wipe the slate clean

"Flender, let's talk about yesterday."

Bai Wanwan turned her gaze to Flender beside her and slowly extended a finger. "Let's make a deal. Yesterday's matter is wiped clean, and from now on, we'll leave each other alone. What do you think?"

"Agreement?"

Flender's eyes showed wariness. "Your Highness, please tell me what the agreement is first, and I'll see if I can fulfill it."

"Simple."

Bai Wanwan snapped her fingers lightly, "From now on, Shrek Academy will not admit students whose Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. As long as you can do that, everything will be forgiven."

Bai Wanwan revealed an innocent-looking smile.

"Um?"

Flender instinctively felt that something might be wrong, especially when he saw Bai Wanwan's harmless smile, this feeling became even stronger.

After all, Bai Wanwan only said that if this agreement was fulfilled, the matter would be considered settled, but she didn't say anything about what would happen if she failed to do so.

But after thinking about it carefully, Flender felt that the agreement seemed acceptable.

Although Shrek Academy's environment and facilities are not very good, its admission requirements are extremely high. Adhering to the principle of only selecting monsters, to enter Shrek Academy, one must first be no older than thirteen, secondly, have Soul Power Level of at least level twenty-one, and finally, have two Spirit Rings that are at least a hundred years old.

Such admission requirements can only be met by those with Innate Soul Power of level seven or above. Souls like Blue Silver Grass, which are typical Trash Martial Soul in the Spirit Master World, simply cannot meet the admission threshold.

After much deliberation.

Flender cleared his throat lightly. "Your Highness, is this all you're asking for?"

Although the agreement Bai Wanwan mentioned could be easily fulfilled, Flender, out of caution, felt it was better to clarify things to avoid any oversights or word games.

"Yes, that's all."

Bai Wanwan nodded gently.

"Hongjun, go get a Wooden Sign and put it up at the village entrance—I mean, at the entrance of our Shrek Academy. Write down the admission requirements clearly, and add a note that we don't accept students whose Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."

Flender waved his hand, ordering Ma Hongjun to do it immediately, as if afraid Bai Wanwan would change her mind.

Only after Ma Hongjun ran out did Flender let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, what happened yesterday?"

Flender didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

"As long as this agreement is not violated, everything that happened yesterday is wiped clean."

Bai Wanwan's tone was very calm, but a hint of a smile and anticipation flashed deep in her eyes.

There's still a little over a year until Tang San arrives in Suotuo City and enrolls at Shrek Academy.

She was eager to see whether Flender would break the agreement on his own initiative.

After all, Tang San's Teacher Yu Xiaogang, was Flender's good brother, and Tang San also had the Clear Sky Douluo standing behind him.

By breaking this agreement, she has a legitimate reason to harm Shrek.

Not breaking this agreement would be disloyal, disregard the long-standing friendship with Yu Xiaogang, and also disrespect Tang Hao.

"Tsk~"

I'm really looking forward to it.

Bai Wanwan thought to herself, glanced at Flender with interest, then got up from her seat and led the Moxiong out of the room.

Upon witnessing this scene...

Flender also stood up and, along with Oscar, saw them off.

Only after Flender escorted Bai Wanwan to the village entrance and watched Bai Wanwan board the Carriage and gradually disappear into the distance did he take Oscar back the way they came.

Walking on the uneven dirt road, Flender put his arm around Oscar's shoulder and asked softly, "Little Oscar, why did you refuse the olive branch extended by His Your Highness Canglan?"

"Ah?"

Oscar paused for a moment, seemingly surprised that Flender would ask such a question.

"If I had to pinpoint a reason, it's probably because they don't want to leave Shrek Academy."

"Besides, Dean, didn't you say before that graduates of the Shrek Academy all achieve considerable success?"

"After I graduate from the Shrek Academy, my achievements will probably be quite substantial."

Oscar scratched his head, but his expression was very serious.

"Perhaps."

"But sometimes, the height you reach with all your life's effort is merely the starting point that others can easily touch. If you had agreed just now, you could probably avoid ninety percent of your efforts."

"Furthermore, a portion of the monthly reward of 10,000 Gold Soul Coin can be used to alleviate the pressure on the academy."

Flender smiled, put his arms behind his back, and strode forward.

"Didn't the dean just tell me to make a decision I won't regret?"

"I don't regret this decision."

"At least that's how it is now."

Oscar quickened his pace to catch up with Flender.

On the Carriage returning to Suotuo City.

Bai Wanwan propped her head up with her hand, a thoughtful look in her eyes, as if she were pondering something.

"Young Lady, it's just Shrek Academy; it's probably not worth you making this trip yourself."

The Moxiong stood beside Bai Wanwan, asking with some confusion.

Shrek Academy has its value, but in Moxiong's opinion, it's not worth Bai Wanwan making the trip herself.

Hmm, that food-type Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power might be worth trying to win over.

"It's not worth it now."

"But it's worth it for the future. It's better to prepare in advance than to be caught unprepared."

Bai Wanwan smiled nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, the Moxiong thought for a moment and did not ask any further questions.

He would do whatever the Young Lady and Young Master told him to do, without needing to ask for too much detail.

After a while.

The Carriage Suotuo City and stopped in front of the City Lord Manor.

Bai Wanwan stepped down from the Carriage, entered the City Lord Manor, and sat down in the seat reserved for the city lord.

Bu Yao, who belonged to the city lord, stood respectfully to one side.

"How's the thing I asked you to do coming along?"

Bai Wanwan twirled a strand of her hair with her fingers, her gaze fixed on Bu Yao.

"Your Highness, so far everything is going smoothly."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should have the results tomorrow."

Bu Yao answered respectfully.

"Yes, let me know as soon as you have the results."

Bai Wanwan Bu Yao to Bu Yao, signaling him to step back, and then looked towards the direction of Heaven Dou City.

"Once things are settled here, I can go back to see my sister."

"Yes, we need to think about things with my sister more carefully; we absolutely cannot allow any unexpected problems to occur."

Bai Wanwan silently pondered in her heart, gently turning a strand of hair with her fingertips, lost in deep thought.

The Moxiong continued to act as a competent bodyguard, standing quietly behind Bai Wanwan without making a sound.
