Gu Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"Dean, Elder Dugu is willing to come to our academy as an advisor. Would that be alright?"
"What?"
It was not just Flender.
Everyone present cried out in near unison.
Their expressions turned strange as well.
They looked at one another, unable to speak for a moment.
Who was Dugu Bo?
He was a Titled Douluo.
Not to mention Shrek Academy.
Even Heaven Dou Royal Academy, known as the Heaven Dou Empire's top academy, did not have a Titled Douluo overseeing it.
Flender swallowed.
"Is that true?"
Gu Xuan nodded.
"Of course."
"Elder Dugu agreed to it himself. Given his reputation as a Titled Douluo—"
"His word naturally carries absolute weight."
Flender hurriedly waved his hand and led everyone toward Dugu Bo.
"Greetings, Elder Dugu."
Flender was the first to arrive before Dugu Bo, wearing an exceptionally warm smile.
Though the smile on his shovel-like face looked somewhat sinister.
His eyes held genuine sincerity.
Dugu Bo nodded to Flender in return.
"I agreed to come here as an advisor for Gu Xuan. Are you willing to accept me?"
Dugu Bo had never been someone who liked beating around the bush.
Given his status, there was no need for it. He stated his purpose directly.
Flender answered without hesitation.
"Of course we are willing!"
"Your presence at our humble academy brings great honor to Shrek."
"Forget being an advisor—even becoming the dean would be more than fitting for you."
Dugu Bo clearly was not particularly interested in Flender's enthusiasm. He waved a hand.
"I will not be the dean. I do not have that much time to teach students."
"Since you have agreed, just find me somewhere quiet."
"I am tired. Take me to rest first."
Flender immediately agreed.
Though nothing had been prepared
