Dai Mubai's matter could be considered settled for the time being.
At the gates of Shrek Academy, Zu Zong and the others were saying goodbye to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, are you really planning to stay here?" Zu Zong asked, somewhat worried.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "Xiao Zong, although I really want to be with you too, I've thought it over. I can't stay by your side forever as nothing more than a vase. I have to become stronger through my own efforts too."
"I'm worried."
Just then, Flender popped out from who knew where. With a hearty laugh, he cut off Zu Zong's words. "Don't worry! I'm not so useless that I can't protect my own students. That brat Mubai may be no good, but he still listens to what I say."
Zhu Zhuqing also nodded to Zu Zong.

Immediately after, Zu Zong took a gold card from his pocket and handed it to Flender. "Dean Flender, there are ten thousand gold coins in here. From now on, improve your academy's meals. I don't want to see Zhuqing looking sallow and thin the next time I come."
Flender's eyes lit up. "Of course, of course. I'll inform the cafeteria tomorrow to improve the food."

Zu Zong rolled his eyes at Flender. He really was a money-grubber. But
