Two Pillows? Jiang Yang and Ma Xiaotao...

The moment Jiang Nannan woke up, she immediately cried out, asking for Jiang Yang.

However.

All she saw was the Dean of Shrek Academy waiting where he stood.

There was no sign of Jiang Yang.

It was at this moment that Wang Dong also woke up.

"De... Dean? Why are you here? Where is Jiang Yang? Have you seen Jiang Yang?"

Jiang Nannan asked with a hint of anxiety.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong also looked over.

Although she didn't say anything, her concern for Jiang Yang was no less than Jiang Nannan's.

"Jiang Yang has already been sent to the Inner Court for treatment, so you don't need to worry about that. Furthermore—"

As he said this.

Yan Shaozhe suddenly paused, raising his hand to toss two green pills to the two girls respectively.

Only then did he say: "Let today's events rot in your stomachs. Anyone who dares to speak of this outside will be immediately expelled from Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing the word "expelled."

The eyes of Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong flickered instantly.

"Jiang Nannan—"

"You are a smart person. I hope that from now on, you will not come looking for Jiang Yang again. Stay far away from him."

As he spoke.

Yan Shaozhe suddenly tossed a gold card toward Jiang Nannan. "There are one million Gold Soul Coins in here. If that is not enough, I can provide you with another million."

"As long as you can manage to stay away from Jiang Yang, or better yet, make Jiang Yang loathe you, I can give you two additional Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones that are suitable for you."

"Furthermore, when you advance to the Soul Saint realm, the academy can find a suitable Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for you."

Two million Gold Soul Coins!

Two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones suitable for her!

Plus the acquisition of her seventh soul ring!

Weren't these conditions far too heaven-defying?

Even the direct descendants of dukes and great clans would find it hard to resist such temptation, right?

Not to mention Jiang Nannan, who was merely a child from commoner origins.

Where would she have ever seen so much money and cultivation resources?

"Did I hear that correctly?"

Even Wang Dong, as the young mistress of the Clear Sky Sect, doubted whether she was hallucinating.

It wasn't that she thought the Clear Sky Sect couldn't provide these resources.

It was just that she had gained a new understanding of Yan Shaozhe's boldness.

He was truly worthy of being the Dean of Shrek Academy.

"I'm sorry, Dean, but I cannot agree to your terms."

Jiang Nannan handed all the items back without the slightest hesitation.

"Why?"

"Young lady, do not be ungrateful."

Yan Shaozhe's tone turned much colder.

His first reaction was to blame himself for inadvertently revealing his bottom line too much, assuming that Jiang Nannan was using this as a bargaining chip to demand more benefits.

But soon, he realized he was wrong.

"Dean, I am not coveting more cultivation resources; it is just that to me, Jiang Yang is more important than my own life."

"If a person doesn't even care about their own life, would they care about their future?"

As Jiang Nannan said this.

Her eyes seemed to shimmer with tears, yet a faint, ethereal smile played on her lips, as if she had cast all caution to the wind.

"Unless you kill me, or Brother Jiang Yang no longer wants me, even if I die, I will remain Brother Jiang Yang's ghost!"

"Do you think I dare not kill you?!"

The moment Jiang Nannan's voice fell, the aura emanating from Yan Shaozhe suddenly turned sharp and fierce.

The pressure of a Super Douluo instantly forced Jiang Nannan's martial soul to manifest.

She was pushed to her knees on the ground.

"Then go ahead and kill me."

Although Jiang Nannan knew she had no way to escape from a Super Douluo, she was still unwilling to compromise over this matter.

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's eyes turned cold.

He had never been a good person; doing whatever it took to achieve his goals was not something he was incapable of.

However.

He was no longer the hot-headed youth he once was, and before doing anything, he had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

If he were to kill Jiang Nannan here, he would inevitably have to kill Wang Dong, who was standing to the side.

Wang Dong hailed from the Clear Sky Sect and was even the young master of the sect; killing her would certainly forge a blood feud with the Clear Sky Sect.

For the sake of his disciple's future, the question of whether or not to risk offending the Clear Sky Sect instantly surfaced in Yan Shaozhe's mind.

"Dean Yan, if you truly do something like this, our Clear Sky Sect will not sit idly by!"

Seeing the situation, Wang Dong could not help but speak up.

She had always despised such behavior, and furthermore, she had cherished a beautiful longing for love since she was young.

Now, seeing Jiang Nannan willing to sacrifice her precious life for love, she felt a surge of admiration.

Because she was the same kind of person.

"Hahahahaha..."

"However, you are both good children, and you have all passed my test."

"Jiang Nannan's love is as firm as gold; the Dean also hopes that you and Jiang Yang will soon reach a happy ending, but remember not to neglect your cultivation."

"Wang Dong is sincere toward others and willing to go through fire and water for her friends; you are a good child."

"It is Jiang Yang's honor to have two such good friends as you."

"Hahahahaha..."

After weighing his options repeatedly, Yan Shaozhe decided to let Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong go.

He had already thought of a more brilliant idea that would ensure Jiang Yang and Ma Xiaotao would end up together.

Or rather, that they would have a deep connection.

As the saying goes, affection grows with time.

He did not believe Jiang Nannan would still be able to stay with Jiang Yang.

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

Faced with Yan Shaozhe's 360-degree turn, Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong were both stunned.

Just a moment ago, it was a matter of life and death, so how did it suddenly become a test in the blink of an eye?

"Thank you, Dean. I knew that as the Dean of Shrek Academy, you wouldn't do such a thing."

"In that case, you should take these things back."

Jiang Nannan stood up and said.

"Naturally, but since I have already given these items out, I will not take them back. Both of you should keep them."

"Remember, do not tell anyone else about today's events, otherwise, that threat of expulsion still stands."

After saying this, Yan Shaozhe rose and flew toward the Inner Court.

He left Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Before long.

Yan Shaozhe had carried Jiang Yang from his own courtyard to Ma Xiaotao's room.

Earlier, when he had others send Jiang Yang to the Inner Court, he had specifically struck Ma Xiaotao on the neck to ensure she remained in a deep slumber.

As of now.

Ma Xiaotao was indeed still in a coma and had not woken up.

"Xiaotao, Teacher has already created the opportunity for you. Whether you can seize it depends on your own hands."

Yan Shaozhe muttered to himself.

He immediately channeled his soul power to place Jiang Yang beside Ma Xiaotao, then covered them both with a quilt.

After finishing this, he turned and left.

However.

As he reached the door, he seemed to think of something else, turned back, and once again channeled his soul power.

Suddenly, the quilt covering the two of them rose slightly, creating a small gap.

The next moment, their clothing slid out through that gap.

Only after doing this did Yan Shaozhe leave, feeling thoroughly satisfied.
