Student's Parent? Just Call Me Little Flender!

Chasing me down?

Flender turned back and saw Yin Chuan still following him, so frightened that his heart nearly skipped a beat.

Hadn't this guy told him to leave?

Why was he chasing after him?

Had he changed his mind and decided to eliminate the roots?

"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless."

Flender had just been bitten by a dog and was still somewhat rattled,

but this was the entrance to his own home, with so many students and parents watching. He absolutely could not show weakness.

"Dean, what happened?"

Li Yusong, who was in charge of admissions, hurriedly set down his work, jogged over, and asked in a low voice.

"Go get Old Zhao and the others."

Flender lowered his voice, speaking rapidly.

An enemy had come to his doorstep!

Flender now seriously suspected that Yin Chuan had not spared him earlier at all, but had been setting a trap!

He had waited for Flender to return to his lair, then followed him here to wipe out the whole nest!

"Alright!"

Seeing Flender's tense expression, then glancing at the imposing Yin Chuan, Li Yusong did not dare delay and hurried off to summon reinforcements.

"You're calling for reinforcements? Could you possibly call more than I can?"

Yin Chuan watched Li Yusong leave to call for help without stopping him. His amused gaze turned toward Flender.

Flender immediately felt rather awkward.

Summoning twelve Soul Emperor experts in one go—who could possibly call in more people than him?

"Sir, aren't you being a little too overbearing?"

"I'm merely running a small business and wanted to make a little extra money. Your people smashed my shop, and you beat me up."

"And now you've chased me here. Do you think Shrek has no one to stand up for us?"

Flender snorted coldly. Sensing several familiar auras approaching, he immediately straightened his back a little more.

He had only wanted to scam a bit of money,

and he had not even succeeded. His shop had been smashed, and what more did they want?

Besides, he was no longer afraid of Yin Chuan.

Last time, he had simply been careless.

Their Soul Power levels differed by eleven ranks, and Flender had not taken Yin Chuan seriously at all.

The terrain had been cramped, Yin Chuan had ganged up on him with his men, and then unleashed a dog. Flender had been caught off guard and suffered a cheap shot.

But now, his own side had a full force assembled.

Yin Chuan's advantage in numbers had vanished. In a one-on-one fight, what could Yin Chuan use to fight him?

It was time to win back his dignity.

"Shrek?"

"I brought my nephew here to enroll at Shrek."

Yin Chuan cradled the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear in his arms and spoke with interest.

Um...

The air fell silent for a moment.

Flender's expression froze. Then, in 0.1 seconds, his fierce demeanor transformed into fawning servility!

"So you're a student's parent!"

"Look at this, what a coincidence! A flood had washed into the Dragon King Temple—we failed to recognize one of our own."

"I'm the dean of Shrek Academy!"

"Flender. Just call me Little Flender!"

What was a change of face?

This was a change of face!

A moment ago, Yin Chuan had been the enemy who smashed his shop and set dogs on him. Flender could bare his fangs at him.

But now, Yin Chuan was a student's parent. What should he do?

Give him a warm welcome, of course!

"Alright, Little Flender."

Yin Chuan held back a laugh.

This Flender... he really knew when to bend and when to stretch. He had no principles whatsoever.

"Well then, parent, the tuition fee is ten Gold Soul Coins."

Flender rubbed his hands together excitedly.

It was not merely his longing for money,

but also his longing for Tang San and Xiao Wu.

He could sense that Tang San's cultivation had reached level thirty-five, and that he was no older than thirteen!

Wasn't such a peerless genius exactly the kind of monster student he was looking for?

Damn it!

Flender slapped his thigh in frustration.

Had he known Tang San was coming to Shrek Academy as a student, he would have restrained his occupational habit and not tried to scam Tang San!

Now, not only had he left Tang San with a bad impression, he had even fought the student's parent...

"Here are twenty Gold Soul Coins, along with my nephew's basic information."

Yin Chuan tossed Flender a money pouch and an envelope.

Clink, clink~

The sound of money—how wonderful it was. Flender swiftly caught the pouch, his face full of greed.

On Yin Chuan's side, an equally wonderful task completion notification sounded.

[Main Quest: Bring Tang San to Shrek Academy to enroll. Completed]

[Reward obtained: Horse-Turning Spear!]

[Horse-Turning Spear: The final strike of the Blue Silver Thirteen Spears, an ultimate counterkill divine skill. When all hope seems lost, try using a Horse-Turning Spear.]

[Main Quest updated: Defeat Flender and Zhao Wuji, and become the strongest teacher at Shrek Academy.]

[Rewards: Soul Skill Upgrade Card, Bloodline Concealment Art]

[Soul Skill Upgrade Card: A single-use item. After use, permanently strengthens one Soul Skill.]

[Bloodline Concealment Art: Can conceal Tang San's Golden Dragon King Bloodline.]

Good stuff!

Yin Chuan's eyes lit up.

The Soul Skill Upgrade Card absolutely had to be used on All Vegetation as Soldiers!

It summoned twelve underlings whose Soul Power was only five levels below his own. Both its mechanics and numbers were absurdly overpowered.

If this Soul Skill received even the slightest enhancement,

it would become outrageously underhanded!

There was no question about the target for the Soul Skill Upgrade Card: All Vegetation as Soldiers.

Moreover, a method to solve the issue of Tang San's Golden Dragon King Bloodline aura—the method Yin Chuan had longed for—had finally appeared.

In his delight, Yin Chuan even found Flender before him much more pleasing to the eye.

Shrek was a good place.

"Uncle."

Tang San and Xiao Wu caught up.

Yin Chuan was not Chicken Leg Douluo Xuan Zi. He had maintained a bloodline connection with Tang San the entire time and had not gone too far ahead.

While he had been negotiating with Flender, Tang San and Xiao Wu had caught up.

"Dean."

On Flender's side, Zhao Wuji and the others had all arrived. Seeing Flender's lower leg injured and bleeding, their expressions changed.

Flender was injured?

"Dean, what happened?"

Shao Xin immediately made several candy beans and fed them to Flender.

"I fell by accident."

A bitter curve rose at the corner of Flender's mouth.

He could not exactly say he had been bitten by a dog, could he?

Did he, the dean, not need to save face?

"You fell?"

The corners of Zhao Wuji and the others' mouths twitched.

Could a fall cause injuries like that?

Those wounds clearly looked like they had been torn open by a wild beast.

Forget it. If Flender did not want to say, there was nothing they could do.

"Dean, why did you call everyone here?"

Without drawing attention to it, Zhao Wuji stepped in front of Flender and watched Yin Chuan warily.

He had surveyed the surroundings.

The only person who posed a threat was Yin Chuan, this unfamiliar Soul Emperor.

"Uh..."

Flender felt somewhat awkward, especially under Yin Chuan's scrutinizing gaze,

but he had always been thick-skinned.

"Ahem, I called everyone here to welcome a genius student who holds great significance for our academy—Tang San!"

"And his uncle, Yin Chuan."

After eating the candy beans, Flender's complexion improved considerably. He revealed a heartfelt smile, without the slightest hint of forcing it.

"Welcome a student?"

Zhao Wuji and the others looked at each other.

What kind of student had such a grand reception?

They had to have every teacher come out to welcome him?

"Take a look."

Flender handed the envelope containing Tang San's basic information to Zhao Wuji and the others.

After taking one look, their pupils trembled and their mouths fell open.

Twelve years old, level thirty-five?!

Even Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao could not have cultivated at such an outrageous speed!

He truly deserved a welcome—a very warm one!

"It seems you've mostly finished considering things."

"I'd like to know about the salary and benefits for teachers at Shrek Academy."

Yin Chuan's tone was mild,

but Flender felt as though someone had instantly seized him by the throat.

"Y-you... are you planning to join Shrek Academy as a teacher?"

Flender was nearly knocked unconscious by this pleasant surprise.
