Flender Sneered: This Is the Last Time I'll Help You, Yu Xiaogang!

Flender Sneered: This Is the Last Time I'll Help You, Yu Xiaogang!

Though Yu Xiaogang was exceedingly proud and arrogant, he was no fool.

Flender's expression was terrible at the moment.

If he pushed things any further,

who knew what might happen.

"Yu Xiaogang, there are some things I need to make clear to you."

At that moment, Flender suddenly said this.

"Just say what you want to say."

Yu Xiaogang replied just as coldly.

He noticed that even Flender's way of addressing him had changed to using his full name.

It seemed to have widened the distance between them.

The warmth that should have existed between them vanished in an instant.

"You and I met when we were young. Though we have not seen each other for years, our friendship remains."

"That is why I chose to help you despite such great risk, but this will also be the last time."

"If anything happens in the future, I may be unable to help you anymore. Please forgive me."

After saying that, Flender expertly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Then he leaned back against the chair, his eyes half-closed.

He did not even spare Yu Xiaogang a proper glance.

Hearing this, the latter's face darkened.

He had merely asked Flender for such a small favor.

Yet Flender had actually said something like this to him.

Hmph!

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly inwardly.

He truly had not expected their friendship of so many years to be so worthless.

He did not realize in the slightest just how shameless his own thinking was.

Yu Xiaogang had asked Flender for help so many times.

Had he ever considered whether he had provided the latter with any value in return?

Had he given Shrek Academy a student with mediocre talent and the Waste Spirit Blue Silver Grass?

Or had he brought Shrek a teacher whose Soul Power had not even reached Level 30 and whose spirit was utterly worthless?

"Fine, Vlad. I'll remember this!"

Yu Xiaogang did not say it outright either, but the meaning in his words was already abundantly clear.

He and Flender could never return to the simple friendship they had shared in their youth.

"Heh heh."

Flender sneered inwardly when he heard that.

He was still too sentimental.

Otherwise, he would not have so many troubles.

In the end, he had even earned such a label in Yu Xiaogang's heart.

Whether he had misjudged Yu Xiaogang in his youth was no longer worth mentioning.

But Yu Xiaogang now was truly not worth investing any more effort in.

"Go find Vice Dean Zhao Wuji. He'll arrange an empty house for you."

Flender still did not open his eyes as he casually said this.

Clang—!

He did not hear Yu Xiaogang reply, only the harsh sound of a chair being dragged.

When he opened his eyes, there was no one in front of him.

The door stood wide open, and all he could see was Yu Xiaogang striding away in anger.

"I wonder whether this choice was right or wrong."

Flender muttered to himself.

He had treated Yu Xiaogang with complete sincerity, yet that man had played mind games with him!

Now, Flender could no longer feel what he had felt in Yu Xiaogang during their youth.

Back then, Yu Xiaogang had been someone for whom Flender had willingly given up Liu Erlong to fulfill the two of them.

Though he did not know where Yu Xiaogang had been all these years,

Flender had remained single the entire time.

He had long since let go and no longer harbored any feelings for Liu Erlong.

But Yu Xiaogang's actions now truly made him regret his choice back then.

Yu Xiaogang stormed out the door.

Following what Flender had just said, he needed to find Zhao Wuji.

Then he would have him arrange a room for himself and Tang San to use as a dormitory.

After taking a few steps, Yu Xiaogang suddenly stopped.

He had left too hastily and had not asked where Zhao Wuji's office was.

Though Shrek Academy was not large, it was not that small either.

He could not possibly knock on doors one by one, could he?

That would somewhat diminish his status as a Grandmaster.

In Yu Xiaogang's mind, within Shrek Academy,

only Headmaster Flender was nominally qualified to stand on equal footing with him.

Even Vice Dean Zhao Wuji was not.

Although he did not even count as an official teacher of Shrek Academy,

Yu Xiaogang had that confidence in himself.

Now, it seemed he could only ask someone.

Yu Xiaogang looked around, but the surroundings were empty.

There was not even a shadow in sight, let alone a person.

It seemed the academy's students had been given the day off today.

Basically none of them were at the academy.

That made things rather troublesome.

Creak—!

At that moment, the sound of a door opening rang out.

Yu Xiaogang looked up and saw the door of a wooden house in the distance being pushed open.

Immediately afterward, a somewhat elderly figure walked out.

It was Li Yusong, one of Shrek Academy's teachers.

He had seen this teacher on the training ground before.

But he was not familiar with him.

Yu Xiaogang had wanted to go over and ask,

but he felt that, given his status,

asking such a question would be somewhat inappropriate.

At that moment, another figure ran toward Yu Xiaogang from afar.

Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw that it was Tang San.

"Teacher, I've packed all my things. I can move at any time!"

Tang San hurried over to Yu Xiaogang, his face full of excitement.

"Tang San, go ask that teacher where Vice Dean Zhao Wuji's office is."

Before Tang San had even steadied himself, Yu Xiaogang gave him an assignment.

"Huh?"

Tang San froze for a moment upon hearing the order.

He looked toward Yu Xiaogang and immediately noticed that the latter's expression was somewhat off.

"Yes, Teacher."

Tang San immediately bowed slightly to Yu Xiaogang with great respect.

Then he turned and walked in the direction Yu Xiaogang had pointed.

Tang San soon realized that the teacher Yu Xiaogang had told him to ask

was the teacher who had sat at the school gate during Shrek Academy's Entrance Exam.

Tang San immediately quickened his pace.

At that moment, Li Yusong was hanging clothes out to dry with his Dragon Patterned Staff in hand.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure running toward him.

"Hello, Teacher Li Yusong!"

When he turned his head, Tang San had already run right up in front of him.

The latter immediately bent at the waist in salute.

As their eyes met, Li Yusong's brows instantly furrowed.

"You?"

Naturally, he recognized Tang San.

Especially after Yu Xiaogang had further reinforced that memory for him.

Tang San had failed the Entrance Exam, yet had still entered Shrek Academy.

Thus, Li Yusong's impression of him was exceptionally deep.

Li Yusong raised his head and, sure enough, saw a familiar figure in the distance.

It was Yu Xiaogang.

He did not have the slightest favorable impression of that man.

As a teacher, Yu Xiaogang had not set an example first.

Instead, he had relied on his relationship with the headmaster to let his disciple enter Shrek Academy through the back door.

Moreover, he had heard about how Yu Xiaogang had stubbornly acted on his own in the Star Dou Great Forest,

causing Oscar to lose a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as a result.

Therefore, Li Yusong had no favorable impression of either Yu Xiaogang or his disciple Tang San.
