Eating at the Kids' Table

He stood up and walked to Flender's side, took out a Golden Card from his Storage Spirit Tool and placed it on the table. "I have high hopes for the Shrek Academy. This one million Gold Soul Coin is a small token of appreciation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Rong Rong has been mischievous since childhood, so the task of educating her will rely entirely on the two deans. Shrek Academy can always contact me if needed in the future. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also welcomes its graduates to join!"

Fran exchanged pleasantries for a while, but ultimately accepted the gold card. Afterwards, he and Liu Erlong escorted Ning Fengzhi and his companion to the academy gate and watched them leave.

His gaze was deep, and after the two had walked away, he suddenly sighed, "Sister Erlong, the more I look at this, the more confused I get. Keeping Rong Rong at the academy, does that mean you're not planning to make a move on the Xiao San again?"

"Whatever, we can just fight it out!" Liu Erlong pondered for a moment, but had no clue what to do, so he muttered to himself:

"Xiao Gang should be here soon, right?"

Flender looked at Liu Erlong's profile, his heart filled with bitterness:

'I know perfectly well that you two can't be together, and I'm standing right beside you, so why won't your gaze linger on me even for a moment longer?'

But when he thought of that gold card, the corners of his mouth turned up again, as if all his troubles had vanished with the wind.

Flender did indeed guess some of Lin Hai's thoughts correctly.

But Lin Hai didn't really care about Ning Fengzhi's so-called gratitude; money was the least valuable thing to him.

He planned to combine the subsequent low-end Hidden Weapon crafting method, another Elixir Pill, and the demonstration of strength into a package to gain greater profits.

However, Flender was right about one thing—

Lin Hai wanted him to reap the rewards first; the greater the gains, the more miserable he would be later.

At this moment, Lin Hai, Ah Yin, and Ah Rou were sitting in a row in the house.

Ah Yin sat in the middle, being pulled around by Ah Rou who asked her all sorts of questions. She tried to lean towards Lin Hai several times but failed each time.

'Where did Lin Hai find this person? I've said it so many times, I don't remember! Did I really have so many friends in the past?' Ah Yin thought helplessly.

Ah Rou asked more and more questions, she became somewhat discouraged. She wasn't usually a talkative person, but perhaps it was because she had often been alone on the rooftop over the years and felt lonely. Now that she had finally met an old friend, the other person acted as if he didn't recognize her.

Upon returning to the mansion, Lin Hai immediately sealed off the surrounding area. After waiting for a while without seeing the two women fight, he secretly sighed, thinking Ah Yin was indeed good-natured. Helpless, he had no choice but to speak:

"Ah Rou, that's enough. These things depend on fate; you can't force them!"

"You can stay here from now on. Xiao Wu is very safe at the academy. Besides, this place isn't far from the academy, so you can get there immediately if anything happens."

Ah Rou lowered her head and gently shook it to indicate that she understood.

Ah Yin grabbed Lin Hai's arm tightly, looking reluctant to part. "Are you leaving again?"

So soft! Lin Hai gently rubbed his arm against hers, finding the most comfortable position, before saying with a doting expression:

"It's not far away, I'll come back to stay often!"

He had no choice but to leave; Liu Erlong was still waiting for him to win her over!

Lin Hai had previously made some guesses about the female protagonist of the Ten Directions Divine Artifacts. In his opinion, the female protagonist of the Flame Water Jade would most likely be either Ah Yin or Bi Ji, as Ye Lingling was not a good match for "love" and "hope".

He was too hasty with Bi Ji and couldn't make a move. However, after he and Ah Yin became intimate, Flame Water Jade showed no reaction, which worried him somewhat.

Was there a problem with our previous analytical approach?

He urgently needed to verify this, as it concerned his future Destiny.

He never dared to be careless when facing the Divine Realm, after all, they were all ancient beings who had lived for countless years. And his Golden Finger wasn't something that could instantly dominate the ages; it needed to be upgraded step by step...

Under Ah Yin's reluctant gaze, Lin Hai returned to the Shrek Academy.

He had already devised a strategy for winning over Liu Erlong, with Bibi Dong serving as a ready-made template.

The Flowing Light Qin dispelled Bibi Dong's obsession, but he still needed to spend time breaking through the great barrier between master and disciple.

But Liu Erlong didn't need so many steps. Once she broke free from her obsession, all that remained between them was a slight age difference.

For a woman who dares to love and hate so much that she can disregard blood ties, is this even a big deal?

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing are currently cultivating in the Mimic Cultivation Ground, while Ning Rongrong is still at the sect and has not yet returned. Lin Hai immediately found the lazy little fat boy.

Ma Hongjun was overjoyed to see Lin Hai: "Brother Hai, you're finally back!"

Lin Hai laughed and said, "What, is the food in Heaven Dou City worse than in Suotuo City? Or are the girls not as pretty as those in Suotuo City?"

"I heard from the students at the Blue Tyrant Academy about the food. It used to be pretty good, but the dean brought all the kimchi from Shrek Academy, which lowered the overall quality," Ma Hongjun complained. "Fortunately, it used to be enough for a dozen or so people, but now it's being shared among hundreds, so it probably won't last long. Er Long Dean Erlong said that once we finish this, we won't buy any more."

Then he scratched his head and said, "If we're talking about girls, Heaven Dou City is definitely far superior to Suotuo City, but... but the prices are higher!"

Lin Hai was speechless. This fat guy had only been here a short time, but he probably already knew the entertainment scene in Heaven Dou City inside and out...

He pulled out two bags of Gold Soul Coin, one large and one small, and tossed them to Ma Hongjun: "Tonight, the dean is treating the entire school to dinner. Go ask Teacher Shao what ingredients he needs and buy them. The small bag is your errand fee!"

Upon hearing about the errand fee, Ma Hongjun immediately lunged forward. Lin Hai dodged aside and shouted, "Get lost!"

"Alright!" Ma Hongjun responded and quickly left, looking like a moving little mountain of flesh.

Lin Hai remained noncommittal about Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's actions, though he himself was probably no better.

The most important thing is to gather as much help as possible from Yu Xiaogang and Tang San to your side.

Although Gold Soul Coin are small favors, they add up. Giving money to those who are most in need of money is actually the most cost-effective way to help them.

Today, some teachers and students at the Shrek Academy have truly ushered in spring—

It should be noted that Lin Hai gave Ma Hongjun a full Gold Soul Coin for the ingredients.

When Flender heard that the chubby boy was going to spend a Gold Soul Coin to buy ingredients, he was indignant! But when he learned that Lin Hai was paying for it and treating everyone in his name, his expression immediately brightened.

This kid is so thoughtful. He just became the dean and he's already spending money to help win people over.

The cafeteria was filled with merriment. Some adult trainees, like Huang Yuan, gathered at a table and secretly swapped their drinks for alcohol. Although they didn't dare to be too blatant, the atmosphere was noticeably more lively.

Lin Hai was the last to arrive. When Flender saw him, he immediately stood up and said, "Lin Hai, come here!"

Lin Hai glanced at the table where Flender was sitting; it was full of academy teachers.

Seeing the Shrek Seven Devils sitting together, and noticing their excited or friendly expressions, the other six laughed and said, "I'll sit at the kids' table!"
