Hearing this, Tang Yin raised his eyes to gaze at Xiao Wu.

"Hmm..." Xiao Wu chewed gently on the food in her mouth, her eyes flickering as she pondered in silence.

Just as Tang Yin began to think that the incident at the restaurant that afternoon and the words he had blurted out had truly caught Xiao Wu's attention, he heard her say with an awkward smile, "It's nothing, let's not talk about it, let's eat, let's eat."

Seeing this, a strange smile appeared on Tang Yin's face, and he pressed, "Tell me quickly!"

"No, no! Eat!" Xiao Wu blushed, lifting her rice bowl to hide her face.

Tang Yin watched Xiao Wu with narrowed, smiling eyes, no longer pressing the issue, and continued to watch her as he ate.

Xiao Wu felt completely uneasy under Tang Yin's gaze. It felt as if the Blue Silver Grass beneath her seat was constantly tickling and teasing her.

Three days later, in a village outside the south gate of Suotuo City, Yu Xiaogang stood at the village entrance.

Directly in front of him stood an archway, from which a crooked plaque hung, inscribed with the five large characters "Shrek Academy," accompanied by a strange green soul beast emblem.

In front of the arch, many twelve-year-old youths were currently registering for enrollment, accompanied by their parents. An elderly man with white hair and beard sat before the arch, nonchalantly collecting registration fees and testing each youth one by one.

Yu Xiaogang watched from the side for a long while, the corners of his mouth twitching imperceptibly.

A dozen youths tried to register, but without exception, they were all rejected for failing the test, and they couldn't even get their registration fees back.

"Hello, I am here to see Flender. Just tell him Yu Xiaogang is here to see him, and he will come to meet me."

Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and spoke to the elderly man in charge of registration under the gaze of many surprised onlookers.

The elderly man named Li Yusong heard this, looked Yu Xiaogang up and down, and as the stories Flender had once told him echoed in his mind, he slowly stood up.

"Are you... the Yu Xiaogang who once formed the Golden Iron Triangle with Flender?" Li Yusong asked with curiosity and surprise.

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back and nodded calmly.

"Flender doesn't seem to be here today, just go on in, he'll be back tonight," Li Yusong said with a smile.

After saying "Good," Yu Xiaogang strode into Shrek Academy.

Night fell.

When Flender returned to Shrek Academy and saw an extra person in his office—his old friend Yu Xiaogang, whom he hadn't seen in years—he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Xiaogang! Long time no see!"

"You finally decided to come see me!"

Hearing this, a trace of a smile finally tugged at Yu Xiaogang's stiff face.

After catching up with Flender for a while, Yu Xiaogang got to the point: "Flender, didn't I introduce two students, a boy and a girl, with excellent talent to you? I've been here for most of the day and walked around, so why haven't I seen them?"

"Speaking of that, I was just about to ask you!" Flender looked astonished. "Registration has been open for so many days, and there hasn't been a single boy and girl with excellent talent like you described!"

Yu Xiaogang frowned deeply. "That's impossible, isn't it? I clearly told them the location and even wrote him a recommendation letter!"

"They truly haven't come. I wouldn't lie about something like this, would I?" Flender shrugged helplessly.

"This... this is bad!" Yu Xiaogang's brow furrowed, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

"Bad? Why is it bad? If they don't come, they don't come. I don't care anyway!" Flender curled his lip, looking indifferent.

Although he desperately wanted talented soul master geniuses to join his Shrek Academy, he wouldn't beg others to join!

After all, he, Flender, had his pride and dignity to maintain!

"You don't understand..."

Yu Xiaogang slowly stood up from his seat and said with a serious expression, "The fact that these two have great talent is only one reason. The second reason is that the boy among them is the son of the Clear Sky Douluo!"

"What!?" Flender's eyes widened instantly.

Yu Xiaogang nodded solemnly and continued, "His name is Tang Yin, and his Soul Power Level should be above level twenty-five. The girl accompanying him is named Xiao Wu, and her Soul Power Level should also be above level twenty-five."

"Because I didn't pay much attention to them before, I don't know their situation very well, only the general idea."

"Some of these details were told to me by the Clear Sky Douluo himself when he sought me out not long ago."

"For instance, Tang Yin not only has high Innate Soul Power, but he also possesses Twin Martial Souls."

"Not long ago, they wanted to advance their studies, and since you are my good brother, I naturally wanted to introduce such excellent talent to you."

"I didn't expect... that they wouldn't show up..."

At this moment.

Flender was already standing there, dazed and vacant-eyed, unable to utter a word, simply because he had heard the familiar name "Tang Yin."

"Flender? Flender!" Noticing this, Yu Xiaogang called out with a frown.

Flender snapped back to reality, then grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the shoulders and asked excitedly, "Xiaogang, is the boy named Tang Yin you mentioned exceptionally handsome, with blue hair and blue eyes? Does the girl beside him have a long scorpion braid and a Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul?"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was stunned, his expression turning strange. "Yes! That's right! How do you know their situation so well? Didn't you say you hadn't seen them?"

"Don't even ask!" Flender turned away angrily, walked to his desk, poured himself a cup of tea, and downed it in one gulp.

"What happened?" Yu Xiaogang frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Flender sighed. "This matter has to start from the beginning. I'll make a long story short."

"In short, they did indeed arrive in Suotuo City, but they got into a conflict with my disciple and student at a restaurant in the city."

"My disciple had most of his ribs broken and suffered severe internal injuries; he is still lying in bed recovering. The other student had the bones in his right hand shattered and his right arm fractured, rendering the entire arm unusable for the time being."

Yu Xiaogang furrowed his brows and paced back and forth in the room. "How did it end up like this? Did your disciple and that student provoke them first?"

Flender sighed. "It was all a misunderstanding. What deep-seated hatred could there be between children? But that kid named Tang Yin hit far too hard. I reckon he has no fate with my Shrek Academy!"

"I gave you a chance, but you couldn't make it work!" Yu Xiaogang helplessly covered his forehead, his face full of worry.

"I...!" Flender wanted to say something in rebuttal, but he stopped himself.

"Since they have already arrived in Suotuo City and didn't enroll in Shrek Academy, which academy in the city do you think they will attend?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"There are a few intermediate Soul Master Academy institutions near Suotuo City," Flender pondered.

Yu Xiaogang said indifferently, "Go and inquire about it tomorrow. Find them and clear up the misunderstanding. For the sake of my reputation, I believe they will be willing to reconcile."

"Xiaogang, didn't you just say that you didn't have much interaction with them?" Flender asked in surprise.

"That was before, but things are different now. Just find them, and I will handle the rest," Yu Xiaogang said calmly.
