Hearing this, Dai Mubai felt a little helpless.
Looking at the dean before him, who had bowed to money, he did not know what to say for a moment.
"Since those two can share a dorm room, could the two of us do the same?"
Just then, Tang San glanced at Dean Flender and asked with a smile.
"If you have two hundred thousand gold coins, I can arrange it!" Flender said.
Two hundred thousand gold coins?
Hearing that figure gave Tang San a headache. He was no rich tycoon like Ning Rongrong; he could not even scrape together ten thousand gold coins!
He was about to ask a few more questions and see whether there was any room for flexibility when Xiao Wu shook her head beside him and said:
"Third Brother, you should live alone. We're brother and sister, after all, so we'd better not live together!"
"Isn't this girl on her own too? I'll just stay with her!"
Hearing this, Tang San froze on the spot. Looking at Xiao Wu, who had suddenly rejected him, he had no idea what had happened.
Normally, something like this would never have happened!
"Since you've all decided on your rooms, we'll settle it that way. Dai Mubai, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll be off!"
With an indifferent expression, Flender glanced at Ye Xingchen, left them with those words, and quickly departed.
"Forgive my bluntness, but although money is powerful, it isn't a way to solve everything, is it?"
"Carrying on like this will encourage a bad atmosphere at the academy. I hope you can stop using the special privileges money buys!"
Hearing Tang San's words, Ning Rongrong gave a dismissive snort. Planting her hands on her hips, she scoffed:
"You're the one sticking your nose into other people's business. What's wrong with spending my own money? It's not like I'm spending yours!"
"If you had money, you could do whatever you wanted too. You're really a dog catching mice-meddling where you don't belong!"
With a bitter expression, Tang San sighed and said nothing more.
Defeated by money, he felt for a moment that the world had lost all its light!
Meanwhile, in the forest behind Shrek Academy.
The Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji, had made his way here. As that wisp of Sword Qi vanished, he slowly came to a halt.
Beneath a large tree not far away stood a silver-haired man who looked like an immortal.
At his feet lay a longsword emitting specks of white light, the very source of that wisp of Sword Qi.
"Who are you? Why are you provoking me?"
Unable to make out his features, Zhao Wuji shook his head, then stepped closer and questioned him.
"You aren't qualified to know my name. I brought you here to stop you from bullying the young!"
The immortal-like Chen Xin shook his head. With his face concealed, he glanced at Zhao Wuji and teased:
"Come on, let me see just how formidable the so-called Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji, really is!"
With those words, the longsword at Chen Xin's feet transformed into countless strands of Sword Qi that swept toward Zhao Wuji to envelop him.
"Are you an elder of those two youngsters?"
"Such astonishing Sword Qi... you're a Titled Douluo..."
As he felt that powerful aura surge toward him, Zhao Wuji immediately realized that the man before him was very likely a Titled Douluo-and a sword-wielding Super Douluo at that!
"If you don't resist, you'll die..."
Unconcerned, Chen Xin shook his head slightly. Looking at Zhao Wuji before him, he held nothing back.
As the immense power throughout his body erupted, countless strands of Sword Qi enveloped Zhao Wuji like a spiderweb.
Cold sweat pouring from his forehead, Zhao Wuji shook his head, bitterness filling his heart. Had he known these two youngsters had such a powerful elder behind them, he would never have tested them himself.
"Senior, could you please be reasonable? I lost to him! How does that count as bullying the young? He's the one bullying me!"
Chen Xin smiled faintly. Looking at the somewhat cheeky Zhao Wuji before him, he did not choose to hold back.
Instead, as his Soul Power continued to rise, the countless strands of Sword Qi closed in further.
"All this nonsense is useless. Come on, let me see just how formidable your golden body really is!"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji looked a little embarrassed. Left with no choice, he unleashed his Martial Soul and instantly activated his Martial Soul Avatar.
Faced with the countless strands of Sword Qi attacking from all around, he steeled himself and met them head-on.
Yet after just one direct clash, that immensely powerful Sword Qi pierced his defenses.
Just as it was about to strike his vitals, the Sword Qi melted away like ice and snow, vanishing in an instant.
"If I ever see you bullying the young again, I'll give you a very ugly death!"
As that ethereal voice drifted over, mixed feelings filled Zhao Wuji's heart. Looking at the figure that had already disappeared, he sighed softly.
He was just about to turn and leave when he saw Flender suddenly emerge from behind a large tree.
Somewhat bewildered, Zhao Wuji froze briefly, then hurried forward and asked:
"Flender, so you were nearby! Why didn't you help me just now?"
"I nearly died! What a waste, calling a fellow like you my brother!"
Flender smiled unconcernedly. Looking at the cold sweat pouring down Zhao Wuji's forehead, he teased:
"I knew he had no intention of killing you, so why would I intervene?"
"I imagine that was Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. His strength has grown even more formidable!"
Sword Douluo?
Hearing Flender say this, Zhao Wuji broke into a cold sweat down his back. He shook his head and sighed.
"My goodness, every one of this year's little monsters has an extraordinary background! I'll definitely have to put some care into teaching them from now on!"
"Having a Titled Douluo watching me from behind the scenes is truly frightening!"
With his arms folded, Flender smiled, thinking that he too had been very surprised when he received the letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
But after seeing how that white-robed figure performed, he suddenly felt that this might be an opportunity for Shrek Academy!
"Work hard. These youngsters are all promising talents. If you don't train them into something, I'm afraid you won't be able to give a satisfactory account of yourself!"
With a bitter expression, Zhao Wuji nodded, then followed Flender away.
Inside an academy dorm room,
Ye Xingchen sat cross-legged on the bed, his expression calm. As the Spiritual Power and Soul Power within him steadily recovered, his complexion gradually improved.
Ning Rongrong, who sat nearby after buying a large pile of snacks and fruit, saw Ye Xingchen open his eyes. She immediately walked over and said with a smile:
"Goodness, it's been almost six hours! You must have used up nearly all the power in your body this time!"
Unconcerned, Ye Xingchen nodded. He reached out to stroke Ning Rongrong's fair chin and teased:
"Did you miss me after not seeing me for just a little while?"
