Flender's Little Money-Making Tricks

While Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong were making love, Flender, far away in a small village below Suotuo City, was counting his Gold Soul Coin in his study, calculating how much money he had swindled that day.

"Sigh! I still don't have enough Gold Soul Coin! Looks like I'll have to rip off a lot of new students next year. I wonder if my old buddies will be able to bring themselves to do it."

Flender looked at the small pile of Gold Soul Coin in front of him with a melancholy expression. He reached out and began to fiddle with the coins. "This is the rent for my academy next year, and this is for my old brothers... let's give them a bigger share!" This portion is the academy's working capital.

After distributing the coins, Flender stared in anguish and despair at the last remaining Gold Soul Coin in his hand. He couldn't help but think that he shouldn't have been so adamant in refusing the Suotuo City Lord's offer today. Without money, it's really impossible to get anywhere! How could he be so concerned about saving face? He should at least be willing to give back a little bit!

Flender held his forehead with one hand, feeling a little dizzy. He was just trying to find a place for his old comrades who had risked their lives for him to retire. How could it be so difficult?

"Boss Flender! Are you asleep? There's a letter for you!"

At this moment, Zhao Wuji's loud voice broke through the door and entered Flender's ears, making him startled and quickly put the Gold Soul Coin on the table into his Storage Soul Tool. Just as Zhao Wuji finished speaking, the door was violently pushed open with a bang.

"Boss, you're still awake? This is a letter from a caravan that just passed through Suotuo City. It seems to be from someone named Yu Xiaogang. By the way, when are we old brothers going to get our wages?"

Zhao Wuji pushed open the door and slammed the letter onto the table in front of Flender, kicking up a cloud of dust. Flender was about to get angry, but upon hearing that it was a letter from his good brother Yu Xiaogang, who had been missing for a year, he decided to teach Zhao Wuji a lesson for being such a brainless idiot.

However, upon hearing Zhao Wuji's somewhat embarrassed request for the academy teachers' salaries, Flender feigned a cough, then reluctantly took out the Gold Soul Coin he had just allocated from his Storage Soul Tool and said:

"Cough cough cough! Old Zhao! Don't worry, I, Flender, will definitely keep my promise! You guys too..."

Before Flender could launch into a long explanation, Zhao Wuji snatched the bag of Gold Soul Coin from Flender's hand, waving his hand helplessly and saying:

"Alright, alright! Every time I ask you for your salary, I have to say the same thing. Boss, you may not be tired of it, but I am! But boss, is it really appropriate for us to run an academy? It's been so long and only one student has passed the assessment."

Zhao Wuji happily weighed the gold Gold Soul Coin in his hand, savoring the most beautiful sound of them colliding, and replied.

Zhao Wuji initially complained without thinking, but seeing Flender's increasingly worse expression, he immediately changed the subject, shifting Flender's attention to the Shrek Academy students.

Flender had originally planned to make things difficult for Zhao Wuji, but upon hearing Zhao Wuji question the establishment of the academy, he reacted somewhat agitatedly, saying:

"Hmph! What! Starting to doubt your leader's opinion? We old brothers have gone through thick and thin together, can't we open an academy to retire in and pass on our skills? Don't forget we were all born commoners! I don't want to be a dog for nobles!"

Seeing that Boss Flender was about to lose his temper, Zhao Wuji immediately smiled obsequiously and said, "Hehe! I, Old Zhao, am a rough man and don't understand these intricacies! I'll listen to Boss Flender! It's getting late, I need to go and distribute the teachers' salaries first! I'll be going now!"

After finishing his sentence, Zhao Wuji scratched the back of his head and chuckled dryly. Before Flender could react, he left the study as quickly as possible, casually closing the door behind him.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's appearance, Flender couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. There was nothing he could do; his old brothers had all reached the pinnacle of Soul Master, and they weren't young anymore. As the leader of this team, he had to shoulder the responsibility.

However, the Gold Soul Coin are a big problem. Flender is very good at fighting, but he's clueless when it comes to running an academy and a business. Now he has to bite the bullet and go for it. Flender started to miss his rich little sister Liu Erlong, but then he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the mess from a year ago.

Flender's mouth also tasted bitter; he had fallen in love with a woman who didn't love him back. Although Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong didn't end up getting married, he was secretly pleased when it was revealed that his second brother and third sister were cousins. However, seeing Liu Erlong's heartbroken eyes deeply pierced Flender's heart.

So, disheartened, Flender gathered a group of old brothers to stick together and opened an Advanced Soul Master Academy, hoping to find a suitable disciple to carry on the legacy.

However, Flender was still very happy when Yu Xiaogang, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly sent him a letter. After all, as the leader of the Golden Iron Triangle, he still cared about his brothers and sisters.

Flender didn't hesitate. He picked up the letters on the table, opened them, and took out a thick stack of paper. He pushed up his glasses, and his eyes twitched slightly. "You haven't seen Yu Xiaogang for a year, and you have so much to say to him?"

However, Flender was still very happy that Yu Xiaogang had recovered and sent him a letter as soon as possible. Flender flipped through Yu Xiaogang's letter page by page, and the corners of his mouth began to turn up.

In another rural cottage, Zhao Wuji was distributing money to a group of old brothers when he suddenly heard Flender laughing loudly. Li Yusong said with some concern, "Is our boss alright? Why is he laughing so happily in the middle of the night? Has he finally decided not to open the academy? I knew it! It was so much better when we helped people Soul Hunting together, so free and easy. Now we're stuck in this little village."

Zhao Wuji patted Li Yusong's shoulder with his large hand and said comfortingly:

"Alright, Lao Li, stop complaining. I know what you really mean! You don't want Boss Flender to work hard for us old guys. He just wants a place for us to retire in. Today, Boss Flender seems to have received a letter from an old friend. It's probably something happy!"

Zhao Wuji said somewhat uncertainly, but judging from Boss Flender's happy laughter just now, it must be a good thing! He would ask him tomorrow. After Zhao Wuji and his group finished distributing the Gold Soul Coin, they all went back to sleep. Tomorrow, they still had to teach the only student who had been admitted to Shrek Academy.

Qin Ming tossed and turned in the old, dilapidated wooden hut, unable to sleep. He felt cheated. Wasn't Shrek Academy supposed to only accept monsters? Why were the teaching conditions so poor? Was it to temper his willpower? But having Soul Saint and Soul Emperor level teachers to instruct him was still good.

After all, Qin Ming was just born a commoner, and he had no cultivation resources or mentors. With his dreams in his heart, Qin Ming unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

Flender was unaware that his only student this year had begun to doubt Shrek Academy's teaching quality, but he was still very happy to receive Yu Xiaogang's letter of invitation! Moreover, he was gratified that Yu Xiaogang had emerged from the shadows and regained his spirits, but now he didn't know how his Second Dragon Sister was doing, since they had been separated for so long and he had lost all contact with her.

Flender sighed at this thought. He'd better gather his old buddies tomorrow and tell them the good news! It seems he can save some Gold Soul Coin on the academy rent next year! Hmm, I wonder if the village chief can refund some of this year's rent.

The year passed uneventfully. The next morning, before sunrise, a voluptuous woman arrived at Shrek Academy's gate. Liu Erlong glanced at the information provided by the sect, somewhat suspicious, but after a closer look, she couldn't believe this was an Advanced Soul Master Academy. She sighed somewhat helplessly:

"Boss Flender, still as stingy as ever! Haven't seen him for a year, I wonder how Flender's doing?"

Liu Erlong blushed a little, remembering her father's words when she left the sect, but she still couldn't shake the Si Si anticipation in her heart. After all, no beautiful woman would be happy to be pursued! However, for some reason, Liu Erlong couldn't sleep well last night, feeling as if she had lost something important. It was like having her toys taken away when she was a child. She tossed and turned all night and got up early to go find Flender.

Liu Erlong was in a bad mood. She hadn't slept all night and felt extremely irritable. Moreover, her Martial Soul was a fire dragon, making her even more volatile. Not wanting to go into such a dilapidated academy to look for someone, Liu Erlong channeled her Soul Power to amplify her voice and shouted loudly:

"Flender! Come out and see me! Your old friend has arrived, why don't you come out and properly entertain him!"

Flender, who was still asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. It sounded like Second Dragon Sister was calling him. Had he been missing her too much lately? But Flender immediately became excited when he felt that familiar Soul Power fluctuation.

Flender immediately put on his coat, summoned his Owl Martial Soul, and with a flash of black Spirit Ring, appeared instantly at the academy gate. Seeing Liu Erlong, whom he had longed to see, he excitedly exclaimed, "Second Dragon Sister, I'm here! Long time no see! Um... how have you been lately?"

Fred felt awkward and flustered, after all, he hadn't even changed his clothes before impulsively coming out to see his beloved, still wearing his coat.
