Doesn't Know What's Good for Him? Yu Xiaogang Was Nothing but a Complete Clown!

"Teacher, here's the key to the room. Vice Dean Zhao Wuji said it probably needs cleaning."

Tang San, who had never enjoyed a single good day since childhood,

felt that having a room like this for the two of them was already quite nice.

He was still smiling.

Tang San did not notice Yu Xiaogang standing across from him.

As Yu Xiaogang looked at the rust-covered key in his hand, his expression grew darker and darker.

The two of them were supposed to live in such a shabby room?

Did they think that was appropriate?

And judging from the tarnish and condition of the key, the room itself could not possibly be much better.

Tang San had just said they would probably need to clean it themselves. Wasn't that basically a storage room?

I'm a renowned and respected Great Master of the Spirit Master World!

And publicly speaking, I'm now an official teacher of Shrek Academy.

Yet this is the kind of room they assigned me?

How did this fit Yu Xiaogang's status?

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang had completely lost track of his place.

Like a clown leaping about onstage, he wildly indulged in fantasies.

Little did he know that giving them a decent room at all

was something Zhao Wuji had considered carefully before choosing.

Otherwise, he would have simply put them in a thatched hut.

These were the academy's conditions. Take it or leave it!

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat off, Tang San cautiously asked in a low voice,

"Te... Teacher, what's wrong?"

It would have been better if he had not asked. The moment Tang San did, Yu Xiaogang could no longer hold himself back.

As a veteran expert and Great Master, he had lowered himself to join Shrek Academy, only for Zhao Wuji to treat him like this.

Other matters would have been one thing, but even their accommodations were this unacceptable.

He snatched the key from Tang San's hand, steadied his emotions, then stepped forward and pushed open Zhao Wuji's office door.

Clang—!

The key was thrown onto the desk, sending rust flying everywhere.

"Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, what is the meaning of this?"

Yu Xiaogang's actions showed Zhao Wuji absolutely no respect.

Although he had restrained himself, so his expression did not look too ugly,

the way he slammed down the key showed not the slightest goodwill.

Zhao Wuji's brows instantly furrowed.

His eyes widened as he glared directly at Yu Xiaogang.

"What? Do you have a problem, Great Master?"

He held back the fist beneath the desk that was nearly impossible to restrain.

It had been many years since anyone dared speak to him, the Indomitable King, that way.

Especially not a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster.

But Yu Xiaogang's relationship with the dean was unusual, and Zhao Wuji did not want to clash with him the moment he arrived at the academy.

That was why he forced himself to calm down a little.

If it had been anyone else, he would have slapped them already.

"What problem?"

Hearing that, Yu Xiaogang became displeased as well.

Did Zhao Wuji really have to make him spell everything out so clearly?

With this kind of ability to handle matters, how had he become vice dean?

"Is this how your Shrek Academy treats its guests?"

"The two of us, master and disciple, were actually assigned such a filthy, uncleaned-up dump of a room!"

"You think there's nothing wrong with that?"

Yu Xiaogang felt that what he said was not excessive at all.

Just from that broken key, it was obvious that the room could not be any good.

Guests?

Zhao Wuji was so angry that he laughed.

Wasn't this fucking idiot?

Could he use his fucking brain for once?

Shrek Academy had never invited this Great Master.

Wasn't it Yu Xiaogang himself who insisted on coming, then forcibly shoved his disciple Tang San into the academy?

The academy was already being generous by taking them in and giving them a room to live in.

And this bastard was actually being picky.

Moreover, Zhao Wuji realized that Yu Xiaogang had no idea what was good for him.

He felt that the dean had treated this guy as if he were someone important.

To the point that Yu Xiaogang himself thought he was hot shit.

He had even lost the most basic understanding of his own worth.

Zhao Wuji pursed his lips, his expression carrying the look of someone staring at an idiot.

"These are the conditions at Shrek Academy. Stay if you want; if not—"

"Just leave. Nobody's stopping you!"

"I have other matters to attend to. If Great Master has nothing else to say, then please leave the office area!"

As he spoke, Zhao Wuji rose directly from his chair, walked around the desk, and came before Yu Xiaogang.

He shoved the latter by the shoulders and forcibly escorted him out of his office.

Having something like this standing in front of him was simply too irritating.

It even fucking ruined his mood.

Zhao Wuji felt truly fucking unlucky.

A perfectly good day had ended the moment he saw Yu Xiaogang.

Bang—!

Before Yu Xiaogang could even retort, he had been shown the door.

Now, even the door behind him had been shut.

His face instantly darkened.

It was as livid as though he had eaten a pile of shit.

Zhao Wuji truly had not given him any face at all.

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth.

A dignified Great Master like him had actually been treated this way.

He had just wanted to turn around and demand an explanation from Flender.

But he suddenly remembered that his exchange with Flender earlier had also ended rather unpleasantly.

For a moment, he did not know what to do.

Leaving Shrek Academy now was absolutely impossible.

If he left, he truly would have nowhere else to go.

At least here, he could still mooch food and lodging.

Shrek Academy's teaching staff was quite good.

It would also greatly benefit Tang San.

When under another's roof, one had no choice but to bow one's head.

Yu Xiaogang silently resolved that he would certainly train Tang San into a success.

He would surpass every other student at Shrek Academy.

He would prove that his judgment as a Great Master was correct.

That his theories were correct.

When that time came, he hoped they would not come crying to beg him!

After wildly indulging in fantasy after fantasy, Yu Xiaogang had comforted himself to complete satisfaction.

The self-esteem that had just been trampled into the ground was tossed beyond the clouds.

Tang San had witnessed the entire scene from nearby long ago.

Yet from beginning to end, he had not dared say a single word.

Yu Xiaogang's expression just now had looked as though he had eaten shit.

Wouldn't approaching him be fucking asking to get scolded?

Just then, Yu Xiaogang suddenly straightened his back.

With his hands pretentiously clasped behind him, he walked over to Tang San.

"After a round of negotiations between Vice Dean Zhao Wuji and myself, the matter has basically been resolved."

"Because Shrek Academy's conditions are not very good, you and I can only stay in this room for now."

"Once rooms become available in the future, we'll be reassigned. Let's go."

Yu Xiaogang forced himself to sound calm as he spoke at length, not forgetting to put on an act before Tang San.

He pretended that he had gotten along very well with Zhao Wuji in the office just now.

Little did he know that Tang San had seen with perfect clarity how he had been pushed out.

Tang San simply did not ask out of consideration for his dignity.

Tang San also understood that his teacher was someone who cared about saving face.

Since that was the case, he would not ask.

"Teacher, I know where the room is. Let's go."

Tang San had already rolled up his sleeves.

There was no way Yu Xiaogang would personally do the work of cleaning up the room.

He would most likely just order Tang San to do it again.
