Lu Yuan's Invitation

"Shrek went bankrupt?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan paused slightly, but the expression quickly faded. He wasn't surprised, because given Shrek's financial situation, bankruptcy was inevitable.

Furthermore, Shrek only has two students now, so it's understandable that Flender and the others gave up, which was also within Lu Yuan's expectations.

After all, in the original story Shrek Academy almost went bankrupt due to insufficient funds. Later, on Qin Ming's recommendation, they went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but unfortunately, they were kicked out by the Xue Beng and eventually came to the original Blue Tyrant Academy, where they met Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong was also very generous, directly handing over the original Blue Tyrant Academy to Flender, which was later renamed Shrek Academy.

However, because of Lu Yuan, the Shrek Seven Devils were separated in this lifetime. Grandmaster and Tang San both left Shrek Academy. In addition, Yu Tianheng lost confidence after being beaten by Lu Yuan. Shrek never encountered the Heaven Dou Royal Team, so naturally Qin Ming would not have been able to help them get into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Naturally, he wouldn't have encountered Dugu Bo, would have been expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and would have entered the Blue Tyrant Academy instead.

More importantly, the original Blue Tyrant Academy has been acquired by Lu Yuan, and now only Heavenly Star Academy remains. Blue Tyrant Academy is no longer there, leaving Flender and his group with nowhere to go.

However, after thinking about this, Lu Yuan had a plan in mind. Why not invite Flender and the others to join Heavenly Star Academy? After all, their current predicament is somewhat related to Lu Yuan, so it would be only right to help them now.

After all, they had no grudges against Lu Yuan; on the contrary, they had some friendship. Lu Yuan didn't mind bringing them into his academy.

Although Heavenly Star Academy is doing quite well now and doesn't lack people.

Turning his gaze, Lu Yuan saw that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing beside him both had surprised expressions on their faces. Clearly, they were shocked by Flender' words.

"Dean Flander, Teacher Zhao, since you have nowhere to go right now, why don't you come and rest at our Heavenly Star Academy?"

"Our Heavenly Star Academy is mainly divided into two academies: the Inner Academy and the Outer Academy. The Inner Academy only admits geniuses and monsters, which aligns with the Shrek Academy's teaching philosophy. Why don't you teachers go and teach those students in the Inner Academy?"

Lu Yuan asked with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others exchanged glances. To be honest, given their current predicament of having nowhere to go, Lu Yuan's words were very appealing to them.

In particular, the teaching philosophy of the Inner Academy is similar to that of the Shrek Academy, which makes it even more to their liking.

Flender was already tempted.

"I wonder how many people are in your inner courtyard now?" Flender asked.

Having experienced the two or three big cats at Shrek, if there weren't many people in the inner courtyard, Flender really wouldn't bother teaching anymore.

"There are about twenty people, plus Fatty and Xiao Ao, so that's about twenty-two." Lu Yuan smiled lightly. He had excluded himself and Zhu Zhuqing. Did the two of them need anyone else to teach them?

Okay, they still need it, but they need guidance from a titled expert; a Soul Sage really can't teach them anything.

"Twenty-two? That's quite a few." Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"And what about their talent?" Flender asked again.

"There are strong and weak. The strong ones have even more talent than Fatty and Little Ao, but the weak ones can still meet the level of level 20 or above at the age of twelve," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

He wasn't lying. Among the students in the inner academy, Wang Qiu'er's talent was definitely above Oscar and Ma Hongjun. As for Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong after their Martial Soul Evolution, they were also above Ma Hongjun and comparable to Oscar. As for Jing Ling and the others, although their talent was somewhat lacking, they were still among the best in the Blue Tyrant Academy.

When I was twelve years old, my level had indeed reached level twenty.

Therefore, Lu Yuan's words make sense.

"Oh?" Flender was somewhat surprised to hear Lu Yuan's words. Could there really be someone whose talent surpassed that of Oscar and Ma Hongjun?

Moreover, even the weakest among them could meet the level of a twelve-year-old at level twenty, which made Flender quite interested.

"So, Dean Flander, would you be interested in joining the inner academy of our Heavenly Star Academy?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

"That makes me somewhat interested, but there's another question: are you sure we can join smoothly?" Flender asked.

"Pfft!" Hearing Flender's words, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but chuckle again, her pretty face full of smiles.

"Rongrong, what are you laughing at?" Flender was a little puzzled. Had he said something wrong?

"Dean Flander, do you know who owns Heavenly Star Academy?" Ning Rongrong asked with a smile.

"Whose is it?" Flender asked.

"This Heavenly Star Academy was originally founded by Lu Yuan. He has already given his word, so do you think you can join smoothly?" Ning Rongrong said with a light laugh.

"You run Heavenly Star Academy?" Flender looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of surprise on his face.

"It was indeed me who opened it. I was bored during those days, so I opened an academy for fun." Lu Yuan nodded and said.

"Just opening an academy for fun?" Upon hearing this, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others exchanged bewildered glances. You just casually opened an academy for fun, and then you won first place in the Heaven Dou Division?

Damn, the difference is huge. We guys worked ourselves to the bone to keep Shrek Academy afloat, but it ended up going bankrupt, while Lu Yuan just casually opened one and it's doing so well.

Flender was genuinely taken aback.

Even Zhao Wuji and the others standing nearby had expressions of utter disbelief; they too had been hurt.

"So, Dean Flander, what are your thoughts? If you join us, I can offer you the position of Vice Dean of the Inner Court. The Dean is my father," Lu Yuan said.

"Since you've invited us so sincerely, it would be ungrateful of us not to agree. So it's decided. From now on, we old brothers will work for you. But what about the salary and benefits?" Flender said, rubbing his fingers together slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged. The inner court teachers have higher salaries. The vice dean's salary is 10,000 Gold Soul Coin per month, Soul Sage level teachers get 8,000 Gold Soul Coin, and Soul Emperor level teachers get 5,000 Gold Soul Coin. What do you teachers think of this salary and benefits?"

"Great, we'll do it!" Before Lu Yuan could even speak, Flender Zhao Wuji and the others made the decision. They had never encountered such a high salary before.

Back in the Shrek Academy, they often didn't even get a salary each month. Now that they had such a huge sum of money, they were all tempted.
