My Big Sister Misses You (Tuesday: Please Keep Reading, Please Vote)

Flender had been rather fired up lately.

As for why he was so angry, one only had to look at the bill in front of him.

At the bottom of the lengthy bill, it clearly stated:

Gold Soul Coin balance: 122.

Flender stared at another subsidy application he had submitted earlier, the huge words "Rejected" glaring painfully at him.

"Damn Balak Kingdom."

He cursed bitterly.

Unlike other Advanced Soul Master Academies, which all received sponsorships, Shrek Academy had only gotten a little funding from Dai Mubai's family.

Their only other ways of making money were enrollment fees and gambling at the Great Soul Arena.

Taking advantage of their lack of money, Balak Kingdom had demanded, under the pretext of providing sponsorship funds, that Shrek graduates must swear loyalty to the royal family.

Flender had rejected that unreasonable demand without hesitation.

He would rather see the academy shut down than make his students become someone else's dogs.

It was a matter of principle.

His third sister had money, but Flender was still the renowned Soul Saint, the Four-Eyed Cat Eagle. He simply could not bring himself to go borrow money from her.

"Sigh—"

Flender let out a heavy sigh.

Soul Masters were different from ordinary people to begin with.

For an ordinary family of three, one Gold Soul Coin was enough to support them for several months.

But for Soul Masters, a single Gold Soul Coin would only cover a few days' worth of food, not to mention the expenses for other cultivation resources.

Thus, although 122 Gold Soul Coins seemed like a lot, with six students and five teachers, even if they tightened their belts, it would only last them a month or so.

They needed money! They needed money! They needed money!

Not only could they not renovate the academy's dilapidated buildings, everyone even had to handle their own meals, let alone something as extravagant as a Mimicry Cultivation Environment.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Is Flender here?"

Along with the knocking came an utterly impolite shout.

"Come in."

Flender found the voice somewhat familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it for the moment, so he called out in confusion.

When he saw the tall youth who entered, he rose to his feet in surprise.

Wasn't this Erlong's younger brother?

Yu Xiaowei looked around Flender's office with obvious disdain, then sat down carelessly in front of him and crossed one leg over the other.

"You're Erlong's younger brother?"

"You came to our Shrek to enroll?"

Flender's tone was somewhat uncertain.

After all, Yu Xiaowei had everything he could want in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It was unlikely that he would come here.

Yet Yu Xiaowei said disdainfully,

"With an academy as lousy as yours, not even a dog would come."

"Bullshit!!!"

Furious, Flender immediately cursed.

Yu Xiaowei's words had struck right at his bottom line.

The thing he hated most in his life was hearing people call his academy shabby.

Yet what Yu Xiaowei said next left him speechless.

"Our Blue Tyrant Academy has Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, as a teacher. Does your academy have a Titled Douluo teacher?"

"Our Blue Tyrant Academy has money when we need money and people when we need people. As for me, I am the Chief Disciple. I haven't even turned thirteen yet, and my Soul Power is already Level 42."

"What does your Shrek Academy have? Those crooked melons and cracked dates I beat up, who didn't even dare fart afterward? Are those the monsters you recruit?"

"Not to mention that the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy is my own big sister, Liu Erlong. Tell me, what reason do I have to attend your lousy academy?"

Yu Xiaowei's words were like sharp blades, viciously carving into Flender's heart.

Especially when he heard that Yu Xiaowei was already Level 42 before even turning thirteen, Flender nearly jumped up.

What kind of freak was this!!!

"Then what are you doing here? Did you come here on purpose to humiliate my academy?"

Flender was already beside himself with rage.

So what if he was Erlong's younger brother? Even if Erlong herself came, she could not humiliate his academy like this.

Just as he rolled up his sleeves to prepare for a beating, Yu Xiaowei pulled a large chest from his Soul Tool and slammed it heavily onto the table.

When the chest opened, the gleam of Gold Soul Coins turned Flender's face golden.

"Here. One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. I'm buying your Shrek Academy."

Flender shuddered. He forced himself to turn away from the Gold Soul Coins and said calmly,

"No. Shrek Academy is the work of my life. I can't just—"

Bang!

Another large chest was thrown out.

Yu Xiaowei said blandly,

"Two hundred thousand."

Flender's body began to tremble slightly, but he still said,

"No. Shrek Academy is the work of my life. I can't—"

As the third chest was thrown out, Flender felt himself going numb.

The sponsorship money Balak Kingdom had used to threaten them back then had only been ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Yet now, there were a full three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins before his eyes.

"I—"

Bang!

"Let's discuss what will happen to my current students and teachers if you buy my academy."

"And how do you intend to handle the academy? Are we merging with Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Flender immediately changed his tune and began discussing the possibility of Yu Xiaowei purchasing the academy.

He had not wanted to sell the academy.

But—

Yu Xiaowei was offering far too much!!!

He could not help being tempted.

But he still had his old brothers and students to settle.

If Yu Xiaowei merely wanted to ruin his academy, then no amount of money would make him agree.

"Shrek Academy will merge into Blue Tyrant Academy. My big sister will remain the dean. I want all of your teachers, and their salaries and benefits will follow Blue Tyrant Academy's teacher standards."

"But among your students, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun must get lost. That is my only condition."

"As for these Gold Soul Coins, whether you keep them for yourself or use them as severance pay for them, that is none of my business."

Yu Xiaowei's calm words made Flender frown.

From the sound of it, Yu Xiaowei had probably investigated all the Shrek students before coming here.

Not wanting Dai Mubai could still be explained by the fact that the two of them had fought.

But it was impossible for him not to know that Ma Hongjun was Flender's disciple.

What was this supposed to mean? Was he trying to give him a warning?

"I need a reasonable explanation."

Flender said grimly.

"Dai Mubai is the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire. Do you think an academy in our Heaven Dou Empire should have a place for him to study?"

"And Ma Hongjun's problem—you don't mean to tell me you don't know about it? Are you planning to let that fat grass chicken go to our Blue Tyrant Academy and ruin the female students?"

"So? Is that explanation perfect enough?"

Yu Xiaowei fearlessly met Flender's gaze and gave his reasons.

"Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire?"

Flender's hand trembled. He truly had not known that.

The Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire were currently like fire and water. If Spirit Hall had not been mediating between them, they would likely have gone to war long ago.

If Dai Mubai really was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, then he truly could not attend an academy in Heaven Dou City.

"But Hongjun is my disciple. You understand what disciple means, right? That is different from being a student!"

"No. Anyone else is fine, but he and Dai Mubai are absolutely not."

Flender's expression shifted rapidly.

Yu Xiaowei's offer was indeed tempting, but he could not bear to part with his only disciple.

He pondered, trying to see whether there was some compromise.

Seeing his hesitation, Yu Xiaowei said quietly,

"Dean Flender, my big sister said she misses you very much."

The moment those words came out, Flender's body stiffened.

He immediately stopped hesitating and instead said,

"Then I'll keep him by my side. He won't enter the academy. Is that acceptable?"

"It is."

"But let me make this clear: if I see him inside Blue Tyrant Academy, I'll make sure he can never be a man again for the rest of his life."

With that, Yu Xiaowei took out a stack of papers from his Soul Tool and handed it over.

"This is the acquisition agreement, in duplicate. Sign your name on each copy."

"Then, after you finish handling things here, just go to Heaven Dou City and find my big sister."

Flender carefully flipped through the agreement page by page. After confirming that Yu Xiaowei had not tampered with it, he signed his name.

After putting away his own copy of the agreement, Yu Xiaowei's expression was no longer as stern as before.

He smiled and said,

"Dean Flender, I hope you enjoy your time at Blue Tyrant Academy."
