Flender: You Are Crazy!

Flender: You're Experiencing Madness!

"Flender, we've been brothers for half a lifetime, and you actually screw me over like this?!" Great Master Yu roared in fury.

"My original intention was to come here to help your Shrek Academy grow, become stronger, and reach new heights of glory."

"But you had someone draw that kind of thing of me, and even stacked together—ptui, disgusting!"

Flender lifted his eyelids and said coldly, "If Erlong hadn't mediated back then, do you think I'd be willing to acknowledge a piece-of-trash brother like you?"

"And don't give me that 'I'm here to help Shrek Academy' nonsense. If you can't afford to eat, just say you can't afford to eat. Why are you looking for excuses to save face?"

When Great Master Yu heard Flender's words, his eyes nearly spat fire.

However, suddenly, the look in Flender's eyes as he gazed at him changed.

Great Master Yu: ???

He shook his head in confusion, and at this moment, Zhao Wuji walked between the two, attempting to mediate.

"Dean, and this Master, you are all friends of many years, why take things this far?"

"Besides, there are students here. Arguing in front of the younger generation doesn't look good."

But to Zhao Wuji's surprise, Flender seemed to ignore his existence entirely, walking straight past him toward Great Master Yu.

The System's influence gradually faded. Flender's eyes widened abruptly as he stared at Great Master Yu in disbelief.

"Xiaogang, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. Let's find a place, and I'll explain it to you," Flender said helplessly.

"I..." Flender sighed helplessly.

He had no idea what kind of evil had possessed him today, causing him to constantly do such bizarre things.

"Forget it. Old Zhao, get these children settled. Then, in a while, we'll all gather for a meeting."

Deep in the night, the entire Shrek Academy fell completely silent.

"That is how it happened. It was entirely my mistake that led the academy into this situation."

Flender explained what had happened during the day to the other teachers, causing their faces to twitch unnaturally.

He went bankrupt doing charity? And he even took out a loan to do charity?

Is this really the same Flender who, when going out for tea, would try to swipe the other person's teapot if he could?

"In other words, even though we passed the entrance exam, the academy is gone?" Ning Rongrong said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins was not a small amount, even for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even as the little princess of the sect, she didn't have that much money on her.

Of course, even if Ning Fengzhi refused to give it to her, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would certainly provide the money if she wanted it.

However, she had only run out to have fun; she certainly wouldn't spend her own money to pay off Flender's debts.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong remained silent, Flender's eyes dimmed, and he turned a hopeful gaze toward Dai Mubai.

"Dean, I don't have that much money on me either."

Dai Mubai scratched his head, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.

Over the years, he had already poured quite a bit of money into Shrek Academy, and there wasn't much left of the funds he had brought from home.

As for asking his family—the Star Luo Imperial Family—for money, that was completely out of the question.

With his eldest brother in charge, let alone asking for money, if it were discovered that he was at Shrek Academy, he would have to pack his bags and run for his life again.

"I might have a way to solve this," Shen He, who was standing to the side, said suddenly while rubbing his chin. "But it will have to wait until tomorrow."

Hearing Shen He's words, Flender's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't expected that while Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai, whom he had pinned his hopes on, had declined, it would ultimately be Shen He who offered to resolve the matter.

"Shen He, are you sure?" Flender asked again to confirm.

"Yes. I need to take a trip to Suotuo City tomorrow; just wait until I return," Shen He nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji and the others exchanged excited glances. Having spent twenty years together, they naturally had no desire to part ways.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly drifted in from outside.

"Zhao Wuji!"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Wuji stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with gravity.

Zhao Wuji walked outside and said in a deep voice, "Who goes there? Why have you come to my Shrek Academy in the middle of the night?"

Tang San, who was sitting nearby, also had his expression change suddenly. He felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Come out."

A faint, ethereal aura locked onto Zhao Wuji from a distance, making him feel as if he were being targeted by an ancient beast. Goosebumps broke out all over his body.

Without hesitation, he leaped through the window and landed outside, cautiously standing on guard while sensing the movements around him.

Flender and Li Yusong exchanged glances, then said, "Xiaogang and I will go out and take a look. You all stay inside and watch the children."

With that, Flender pulled Great Master Yu out of the room and headed into the darkness in the distance.
