Yu Xiaogang Flies into a Rage! Tang San Failed the Entrance Exam?

With that in mind, Yu Xiaogang headed straight for Flender's room.

The latter's room bore a very obvious marker identifying it as the dean's quarters.

So Yu Xiaogang found it quickly.

Flender was still sound asleep at the moment.

Completely unaware that an uninvited guest was already charging toward him.

"Knock, knock, knock—!"

Without another thought, Yu Xiaogang stood at the door and hammered on it.

Two seconds passed, but there was no response from inside.

Yu Xiaogang raised his hand, ready to knock again.

"Who is it? You're interrupting my sleep!"

At that moment, an impatient voice came from inside the room.

At this hour, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that whoever had come knocking was not a student.

Only one of the Academy's teachers might have business with him, and the most likely one was probably that bastard Zhao Wuji.

"It's me!"

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice from inside, Yu Xiaogang answered.

Then, without caring in the slightest what state Flender might be in,

he pushed the door open and strode in without ceremony.

"It's me, Yu Xiaogang!"

The moment he entered, their eyes met.

Then the atmosphere became utterly awkward.

Yu Xiaogang had never imagined that Flender slept without clothes now.

Th-this-this...

What kind of indecency was this!

He seemed completely unaware that barging into someone else's room uninvited

was an utterly shameless thing to do.

Flender was completely dumbfounded.

He never could have imagined that Yu Xiaogang would suddenly appear in his room at this hour.

What the hell was this supposed to be?!

Although Tang San had mentioned in his letter that Yu Xiaogang would come,

Flender had not expected this guy to arrive before dawn.

And he had pushed the door open without Flender's permission.

Still as uncouth as ever.

Though he was extremely displeased and even wanted to rush over and kick Yu Xiaogang,

Flender remained relatively calm on the surface.

He quickly began getting dressed.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang unceremoniously grabbed a chair nearby and sat down.

To break the awkward silence in the room, he slowly spoke first.

"Flender, are you satisfied with the new students Shrek Academy recruited this year?"

According to what he knew,

Shrek Academy's enrollment standards were strict, so there were times when it could not recruit any new students at all.

Thus, with such a gifted student as Tang San coming to Shrek Academy this year,

the dean was surely pleased as well.

And such an outstanding student had been trained by none other than him, Yu Xiaogang.

But given Flender's understanding of him,

he might not find it particularly remarkable.

After all, with Tang San being his disciple,

his talent would not seem quite as dazzling.

"Not bad. We recruited four new students this year, and all of them are quite talented."

Flender thought for a moment, then nodded without denying it.

A rare satisfied smile appeared on his face afterward.

Tang San was not included among those four students.

For now, he was merely staying at Shrek Academy temporarily.

He could not be considered an official student.

"Four?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Yu Xiaogang's stiff face.

Shrek Academy could recruit four students in a single year now?

When he had arrived, the facilities inside and outside the Academy had looked rather shabby.

Could it be that the Academy was struggling to stay afloat and had lowered its admission standards?

Still, Tang San must undoubtedly be the best among those four students.

Yu Xiaogang was quite confident about that.

Yu Xiaogang nodded lightly and asked,

"How many students does the Academy have now?"

While they had been talking, Flender had already finished dressing.

"Including this year's four new students, there are seven students in total."

"By the way, did you travel all this way to Shrek Academy just to ask me these things?"

A trace of confusion appeared on Flender's face.

Yu Xiaogang never visited without a reason.

If he had come, then he definitely had business.

As for whether it was good news or bad news, that was impossible to say.

Still, Flender guessed that it was probably related to his disciple, Tang San.

If Yu Xiaogang was willing,

he could let Tang San stay and become an official student.

"Yes, but not entirely."

Yu Xiaogang deliberately kept him in suspense.

At that moment, a rare hint of pride flashed across his face.

Then he looked at Flender and deliberately kept his voice calm as he spoke.

"Among the four students Shrek Academy recruited this year is one of my disciples. I assume you already know that."

"So, what do you think? Isn't my disciple quite talented?"

Yu Xiaogang was already being extremely restrained and tactful.

According to what he truly thought, Tang San was simply unprecedented and unparalleled!

"Uh..."

Yu Xiaogang's words left Flender at a loss.

Tang San was indeed at Shrek Academy.

But Tang San really was not among those four students.

Those four had passed the Entrance Exam through genuine ability.

Tang San, on the other hand, had only been allowed to stay temporarily because of Yu Xiaogang's letter.

How could those be the same?

After speaking, Yu Xiaogang waited for Flender to praise Tang San.

Who would have thought that after so much time had passed,

Flender had not said a word?

Yu Xiaogang looked over.

Flender was sitting at the edge of the bed, one hand on his forehead.

His expression was faintly awkward.

Because Tang San really had failed the Entrance Exam.

And the reason he had failed

was a topic that could not possibly be avoided.

Tang San's glorious exploits...

Flender was truly too embarrassed to mention them.

"What is it?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.

"Your disciple is called Tang San, right?"

After deliberating for a long time, Flender finally spoke slowly.

Yu Xiaogang nodded at his words.

After confirming it, Flender chose to be direct.

"Your disciple did not pass Shrek Academy's Entrance Exam."

"However, I read your letter, so I allowed him to remain at the Academy temporarily."

"What?!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes instantly widened in fury.

His emotions became extremely agitated.

"How could Tang San possibly fail the Entrance Exam?"

Yu Xiaogang immediately became anxious.

In his heart, Tang San's talent was exceptionally good.

Passing Shrek Academy's Entrance Exam should have been effortless.

Yet Flender was now telling him

that his prized disciple had not passed the Entrance Exam at all.

Instead, Tang San had only been allowed to stay at Shrek Academy temporarily because of his letter.

The gap between his fantasies and reality was so vast.

How could Yu Xiaogang possibly accept it?

"You didn't remember it wrong, did you?"

He forced himself to appear calmer.

Flender merely shook his head.

"Everything I said is true."

"This..."

Yu Xiaogang sucked in a cold breath.

He still could not accept it.

"What level are the four newly recruited students at?"

"If even Tang San could not pass the Entrance Exam, how did they pass?"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned livid.

He was clearly beside himself with rage.
