Gu Rong Caught in the Crossfire Again, Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

"Eat?!" Liu Erlong laughed angrily.

"What a unique reason! So the academy is so poor that students have to swallow their dignity and earn money for food?!"

Flender, like a child being scolded, lowered his head and mumbled:

"We didn't need to before, but this morning I discovered... all the academy's funds... have been stolen!"

"Stolen!!!" Almost everyone exclaimed at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief.

Flender nodded heavily, his face filled with shame:

"I was just about to withdraw some money to place bets at the Great Soul Arena when I discovered that all the money in my office and study had been stolen, not a single Copper Soul Coin was left!"

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me find out which bastard did this, or I'll make him pay!"

Lin Hai subconsciously touched his face, completely believing Flender's words; he had been good-looking since he was a child.

Lin Hai did this, for no other reason than to see the "remorse of the unscrupulous businessman".

After you've had your fill of watching, then give him a hand as a "savior"—wow, perfect!

When everyone learned the reason behind it, they stopped complaining, knowing that Flender must be in unbearable pain at this moment.

Yu Xiaogang, however, seemed to be deep in thought and asked:

"Flender, given your personality, you must have hidden that money very carefully. How exactly was it stolen?"

Flender sighed, "That's what I can't understand the most."

"I keep all my money in Safe in Study Secret Room. Only I know the password."

"The other party neither triggered any alarms nor left any traces. They just ran off with all the money without anyone noticing. It's too bizarre!"

Lin Hai suddenly recalled the conversation between Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao two years ago, and muttered to himself:

'That Gang Zi, he wouldn't connect the Soul Bone Theft, the theft of wives, and this whole thing, would he?'

His Teleportation Spirit Skill is no secret. Although it's not exactly suited for stealing Safe, it is still Space-Type Spirit Skill.

Yu Xiaogang indeed connected the two events at this moment! No, he even thought of the assassination attempt Tang San had encountered!

All these clues seem to point to the same person—

Bone Douluo Gu Rong!

He glanced at Ning Rongrong out of the corner of his eye, saw that she looked normal, and then shook his head.

Although there was no direct evidence, Yu Xiaogang was convinced of his own guess. Ning Rongrong's lack of reaction at most indicated that she was unaware of the situation.

At the same time, he was also secretly wondering:

'What kind of operation is this? Sponsoring one million, then stealing three million? Is this how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gets rich?!'

As for Tang San's mother and the Spirit Bone, he actually found it reasonable.

Given Tang Hao's dazzling talent back then, it's no surprise that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have paid close attention to him and secretly discovered the location where Tang Hao lived in seclusion and where he hid his Spirit Bone.

He decided to keep Flender out of the picture for now and first talk to Tang Hao.

As for Lin Hai? He didn't even consider him.

When that battle took place, Lin Hai was only five years old and hadn't even awakened his Martial Soul yet. How could he possibly know the location of the Spirit Bone?

Besides, this kid is rolling in money. He'd give away Elixir Pill that can improve aptitude and enhance strength without hesitation. How could he possibly care about Flender's little bit of Gold Soul Coin?

At the same table, everyone experienced a thousand different flavors.

After the meal, a group of more than ten people headed to the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena to attend the opening ceremony.

This route naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Most of the women were looking at Lin Hai. The men, on the other hand, were looking at the beautiful women and enjoying the jokes.

Ning Rongrong looked at the "Lady's Heart" on the team uniform and listened to passersby laughing and muttering the words. She was so angry that she said to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing beside her:

"I will never use this brand again!"

Dai Mubai chuckled and teased from the side:

"Be content, Rong Rong. This company has sent so many new products to the college. We boys haven't even had a chance to use them yet!"

Tailong and his friends burst into laughter, which finally eased the awkward atmosphere a little.

Ma Hongjun chimed in with a sly grin, "Boss Dai, didn't Brother Hai say this thing can be used as an insole? Xiao Ao and I have both used it, and it feels pretty good!"

Dai Mubai was speechless.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu and the other two girls immediately moved a few steps away from them, as if the word "pervert" was written all over the other party.

Lin Hai, however, disagreed.

It's only because he intervened in this life that they didn't go through the stupid training of carrying stones and running laps, otherwise they would definitely realize how friendly this method is!

After all, the shoes in the Douluo Continent are not like those in my previous life; they place more emphasis on aesthetics and are far less comfortable.

At this moment, Flender cleared his throat and said, "Alright, listen to me."

All the students turned to look at Flender, worried that the Dean would come up with some shameful money-making idea this time.

"Ahem!" Flender's old face flushed slightly as he coughed lightly and said, "The talent and strength of your class are unprecedented."

"The biggest opponents standing in your way in this competition are the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team and the Spirit Hall Academy Team, which has won many championships."

"Everyone, do your best for me! Our goal is to secure third place and strive for first!"

He knew Dugu Yan's strength, and he really didn't have much confidence when facing the Imperial Fighting Team.

Just then, a sudden, mocking voice came from the side. "You guys? You think you can compete for first place?!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a moon-white robe that some of them recognized.

The Shrek Seven Devils suddenly realized—

It turned out to be a defeated opponent from the Canghui Academy.

Xiao Wu recognized the person who spoke at a glance, and said with a clenched fist, "Didn't you get beaten up badly enough last time?!"

Ma Hong also laughed, "Exactly! Where is your teacher who only knows how to hide in his turtle shell?"

In this lifetime, the two academies still clashed.

However, Ye Zhi Qiu, the teacher of the Mystic Turtle Spirit at the Canghui Academy, was dealt with by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing before Zhao Wuji could even make a move.

The Canghui student felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled the horrific scene of being crushed, and instinctively looked behind him.

At this moment, the Canghui Academy team split to the sides, and an old man slowly walked out from behind.

His face was gloomy, but his voice was strong and powerful. "What happened?"

The student quickly moved closer to him and whispered, "Teacher Shi Nian, they are the Shrek Academy students we encountered before!"

"Oh?" Shi Nian immediately became interested.

Two years ago, Ye Zhi Qiu reported that Shrek Academy had two exceptionally young girls whose Soul Power had reached the high-level Soul Ancestor, yet their strength was even greater than that of ordinary Soul King.

He recalled Ye Zhi Qiu's description at the time, and his gaze finally settled on Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

Then, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes underwent a strange change in an instant, as if they had turned into two bottomless black holes.
