Flender, the Genius of Logic!

Oscar said nothing. He merely nodded silently, then turned and ran outside.

Flender's gaze shifted to Yun Feng and the others.

"Don't you understand why I did this? Why I made him keep running?"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun knew Flender's temperament well and said nothing. Zhu Zhuqing was naturally aloof and merely looked at him calmly.

But what surprised him was that Yun Feng, Xiao Wu, and Tang San were completely uninterested!

That immediately left him awkwardly speechless.

With no one responding, he did not know what to say for a moment.

It was Ma Hongjun who gave Flender some face. Seeing his teacher's embarrassment, he promptly asked, "Teacher, why is that?"

Seeing that Ma Hongjun had given him an opening, Flender immediately said, "Good question. Because he lied. Although he may have lied out of friendship or some other reason, a lie was still a lie."

"You are all still children. Lying is the worst kind of character flaw. I hope you understand that."

When Yun Feng heard Flender mention character, he, Xiao Wu, and Tang San all laughed.

Yun Feng laughed because he knew the plot—Flender had character? Tang San and Xiao Wu laughed because when Flender had scammed them back in Suotuo City, he certainly had not said any of this.

Hearing those three laughs, Flender's face instantly darkened.

But when he saw that it was Yun Feng and the others laughing, he immediately realized something.

Still, Flender was thick-skinned. Even so, he acted as though nothing had happened and turned his gaze toward Ning Rongrong, who looked pitiful off to the side.

"Tell me, did you complete the training I assigned this morning?"

Ning Rongrong honestly shook her head. "No. The distance was too far, and I was hungry, so I didn't keep going!"

The moment Yun Feng heard this, he knew his opportunity was about to come.

Flender smiled faintly. "So, you took Yun Feng and Xiao Wu to Suotuo City, had a big meal, strolled around the commercial district, and only just returned to find Oscar, correct?"

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes widened.

"You were spying on us?"

Flender's expression immediately turned cold at those words, and he said righteously, "As the Dean, I must be responsible for every student in the academy. If Oscar lied because he could not bear to see you punished, then that is still understandable."

"However, the mistakes you committed are unforgivable."

"You left the academy without permission, disobeyed the academy's arrangements, and made an upperclassman lie for you."

"None of these are mistakes an outstanding Soul Master should make."

"If this were a battlefield, there would be only one outcome for you: Military Law Punishment—death."

Yun Feng was dumbfounded when he heard that.

There was some truth to it, but was that not a bit of a stretch?

If they could calculate things that way, then every time a Soul Master obtained a soul ring, Soul Beasts would lose the ability to reproduce. When Soul Beasts were eventually wiped out, would they not all become sinners?

After all, future generations would not even have soul rings anymore.

What a logic genius!

Naturally, Ning Rongrong was not an idiot either. She was not someone who could be bluffed so easily.

She frowned. The gentle expression on her face gradually vanished, and the corners of her lips curled upward slightly, revealing traces of contempt and disdain.

"Putting aside the fact that this isn't a battlefield, this place can't even be considered an academy."

"You keep blowing everything out of proportion. Aren't you just trying to suppress me?"

"Do you really think I don't understand anything?"

Having been exposed, Flender's expression was somewhat unnatural, but he still spoke to Ning Rongrong with great firmness.

"This place may not even count as an academy, but it is my Shrek Academy."

"Now, I'm giving you two choices."

"One: pack your things and leave immediately. You are not worthy of being one of us."

"Two: prove to me that you are qualified to stay here, and that you are determined not to break the rules again."

Ning Rongrong smiled. Though she was only twelve years old, it had to be said that her smile was truly adorable and beautiful.

Yet that harmless smile made people's hearts tremble.

"I'm dying of laughter, Flender. Do you believe that if you throw me out, I'll slash myself a few times?"

"Or that I'll go back and tell my Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather that you bullied me?"

"Or, if I'm even more ruthless, I'll threaten to kill myself. What do you think will happen then?"

"Oh, perhaps you don't know who my Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather are. Let me tell you: Sword Grandfather is Sword Dao Chenxin, the Sword Douluo, and Bone Grandfather is Gu Rong, the Bone Dragon Douluo."

The moment those words came out, Flender's face turned green.

Damn it, that was just bullying!

With Ning Fengzhi's letter tucked against his chest, Flender suddenly felt, for some reason, that it might not be of much use after all.

"You're just a mere Soul Saint. Are you sure you can stand against two Titled Douluo renowned across the continent?"

Ning Rongrong's words were like a bolt from the blue.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the others all paled. None of them had expected Ning Rongrong to have such a background.

Seeing that all the students had been stunned, Flender realized that if he could not keep Ning Rongrong in line, the team's morale would fall apart.

Then every last one of them would become utterly rebellious.

How was he supposed to fulfill the wager then?!

How was he supposed to get a taste of her charms?!

Now, he could only hope that Ning Fengzhi could truly do as he had promised in the letter.

"I'm just a mere Soul Saint, but you're still far, far beneath me."

"Even if you are the most talented of this generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you are ultimately only a Soul Grandmaster."

"Between you and me lies an insurmountable chasm."

"Since you look down on this place, then please leave. Shrek Academy does not welcome students like you who refuse to follow the rules."

Ning Rongrong smiled.

"Sure. If I leave, are you certain you can bear the responsibility?"

When Flender saw that Ning Rongrong truly intended to leave, he was dumbfounded for a moment.

Why was what the letter said wrong? Hadn't it said that Ning Rongrong was extremely stubborn?

Why was she completely refusing to play by the rules now?! Where exactly had things gone wrong? But this was not the time to think about that. After considering it for a moment, Flender still decided to proceed according to plan.

"Mubai, go to her dormitory, pack up her things, and throw them out!"

Dai Mubai stepped forward. Even now, his gaze at Ning Rongrong remained full of disbelief.

He had not expected the dean to be so unyielding.

But if the dean was not afraid of trouble, then neither was he.

Though she was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he was still a prince of a nation.

Even from a political standpoint, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect presumably would not dare do anything to him.

The one who should be worried ought to be the dean.
