Flender Is Expelled

As soon as he finished speaking, Flender panicked completely.

He looked around at the teachers in a panic, but they all had a knowing and complicated expression on their faces, and not one of them stood up to say a word for him.

His lips trembled as he tried to say something, but found himself unable to utter a single word.

He stood there, bewildered, his mind blank.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji and Liu Erlong stopped what they were doing and ceased their actions.

Liu Erlong looked at Flender with unusual concern and said softly:

"Boss Fu, are you... are you alright?"

Flender seemed not to hear.

He remained standing there silently, his face pale and his eyes unfocused.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang.

His voice was calm:

"Alright, Flender, stop with the act. Since we're not welcome here, let's leave."

Then, he turned to look at Liu Erlong and said calmly:

"Erlong, let's go to the Blue Tyrant Academy."

After speaking, he took another deep look at the Shrek Academy teachers, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Wuji's face, over Li Yusong's face, over Shao Xin and Lu Qibin's face, as if trying to memorize their faces.

Then he turned and walked towards the door.

As he passed by Flender, he reached out and pulled him along.

Flender, like a puppet on a string, was pulled along by him, stumbling and staggering as he followed.

Liu Erlong glanced at Zhao Wuji, snorted coldly, and turned to follow him.

Three figures gradually disappeared through the doorway.

Behind them, Zhao Wuji stood still, watching the direction they had left, remaining silent for Jiujiu.

Li Yusong sighed and shook his head.

Shao Xin closed his eyes and said nothing more.

Lu Qibin simply turned around silently and walked towards the academy.

After walking several miles, Flender gradually came to his senses.

He stopped and stood still.

Then--

He crouched down, covered his face with his hands, and wept silently.

His shoulders trembled violently, and tears seeped through his fingers, dripping onto the soil at his feet.

He couldn't understand why things had escalated to this point, to this state.

Why have all his brothers, whom he has known for so many years, now fallen out with him?

Did he really do something wrong?

Standing beside him, Liu Erlong felt a pang of sadness seeing him like this.

She opened her mouth, wanting to offer comfort, but didn't know what to say.

Yu Xiaogang stood aside, quietly watching Flender, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He didn't speak or go forward to comfort her; he just stood there quietly, waiting for Flender to finish crying.

In the end, it was Liu Erlong was the first to lose patience.

Seeing Flender's distraught appearance, she stamped her feet in frustration and shouted at him:

"Alright, Boss Fu! It's just a run-down academy, isn't it?"

"At worst, I'll just give you Blue Tyrant Academy!"

"If you like the name Shrek, why don't I just change Blue Tyrant to the Shrek Academy?!"

"Anyway, Xiao Gang said that their lousy college doesn't even have the qualifications to run a school!"

Flender seemed not to hear, still squatting on the ground, his hands covering his face, his shoulders trembling slightly.

He was completely absorbed in his grief and showed no reaction to the sounds of the outside world.

Liu Erlong called out a few more times, but seeing that he still looked the same, she gritted her teeth in anger, yet there was nothing she could do.

Just then, several voices rang out from behind them:

"Dean! Dean!!"

Everyone looked over at the sound.

Flender was slightly taken aback by the familiar address and subconsciously looked up to look behind him.

Six figures, three men and three women, were seen rushing towards them.

Leading the group was Dai Weisi, followed by Dai Niesheng, Dai Mubai, and the three sisters Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuying, and Zhu Zhumeng.

The group walked quickly, clearly having chased after them.

Let's rewind a moment.

Dai Weisi and the others heard the commotion when Zhao Wuji and Flender argued inside the Shrek Academy.

They stood at a distance and saw the whole process clearly.

Dai Mubai crossed his arms, leaned against a pillar, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, and scoffed:

"That good-for-nothing should have been kicked out long ago!"

Dai Weisi stood beside him but didn't say anything.

Ever since they lost the opportunity to join Beichen Academy because of Yu Xiaogang, he fell into a state of self-abandonment, listless and uninterested in anything.

Looking in the direction Flender and the others had left, his eyes remained completely unmoved, as if none of this concerned him.

But a glint of light flashed in Dai Niesheng's eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai and said:

"Boss, Mu Bai, I think we might still have a chance."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai turned his head sharply and screamed in disbelief:

"Hey second brother, you're not suggesting we follow that good-for-nothing, are you? Are you kidding me?!"

His voice was shrill and urgent, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Dai Niesheng did not answer immediately.

He glanced at Dai Weisi, then at Dai Mubai, and spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty:

Do you think we have any other options right now?

Dai Mubai was stunned. Dai Weisi also looked up at him.

Dai Niesheng continued, "Beichen Academy is no longer an option."

"We can't go back to the Star Luo Empire. What can we do here? Just wait to die?"

He paused, his gaze falling on the three figures gradually disappearing into the distance, and continued:

"Although this person is useless, he has something we need in him..."

So the six of them chased after him.

At this moment, they stood in front of Yu Xiaogang and the others.

Dai Niesheng forward, bowed slightly to Flender, and said in a gentle and respectful tone:

"Dean Flender, we'll go with you."

Flender was stunned.

He looked up at the group of young people in front of him, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Liu Erlong was also somewhat surprised. She looked Dai Niesheng, then glanced at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang didn't speak, but just looked at Dai Niesheng quietly, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Dai Mubai stood behind Dai Niesheng, his face still showing some reluctance, but ultimately he didn't say anything.

Dai Weisi's face remained calm, revealing no emotion.

Zhu Zhuyun stood beside him, her gaze gentle.

Zhu Zhuying and Zhu Zhumeng stood quietly without saying a word.

Liu Erlong glanced at them, then at Flender, who was still squatting on the ground with red eyes, and suddenly clapped his hands, shouting:

"Alright, alright! Stop standing there! Come on, let's go back to the Blue Tyrant Academy! We can talk about it when we get there!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for anyone's reply.

After taking a few steps, he turned back and shouted at Flender, "Boss Fu, what are you still squatting for? Let's go!"

Flender stared at her blankly, then slowly stood up.

He glanced back in the direction of the Shrek Academy.

He stood there, watching for a long time...

Until Liu Erlong saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, she called out to him:

"What are you doing, Boss Fu? Hurry up and catch up!"
