Flender's Heart Bleeds: Bankrupt Before Saving Anyone?

"You're playing me?"

Flender, having been in the Soul Master World for decades, quickly reacted, his face turning ashen.

He had just thought it was strange how these girls were so kind, constantly serving him food, only to realize this was their trap.

And they even knew his identity!

Ning Rongrong blinked and tilted her head, saying, "Playing you? How could we dare? You're our Dean, how could we play you?"

"You set the rule yourself, teachers can't take advantage of the academy, and you've eaten quite a lot just now."

"Although I really want to pay, as a newly enrolled student, I wouldn't dare let the Dean break his own rules!"

Her meaning was quite clear.

Flender's brow twitched.

The keywords: newly enrolled!

Meaning these people had just enrolled at Shrek Academy?

Meaning they had all passed the assessment, their talent and cultivation were all quite good.

But, what were Li Yusong and Zhao Wuji doing?

They had actually recruited a pack of jackals!

From now on, when recruiting, he must emphasize character!

He knew the rule he himself had set.

He indeed couldn't take advantage of students.

Therefore, he had to pay.

"You little brats, you're rushing this Dean."

Flender gritted his teeth and took out his money pouch, his heart bleeding.

He had barely managed to trick a fool out of one hundred Gold Soul Coins yesterday, and today he had to take it out, and even pay extra.

Why was his life so hard?

Dai Mubai hadn't been bailed out yet, he had pulled many strings and spent a lot of Gold Soul Coins.

Now with this, he could declare bankruptcy!

His fingers trembled as he tried to take Gold Soul Coins from his pouch.

But he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Heh~ Actually, there's another way we can pay the bill."

Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled, as if she had really thought of a solution.

Flender felt like he had grasped a life-saving straw and quickly said, "What way?"

"It's very simple, I'll directly announce my withdrawal from Shrek Academy, then help the Dean pay the bill, and then re-enroll in Shrek Academy, wouldn't that work?"

Flender: "..."

A terrible idea, an absolutely terrible idea!

If he really did that, would Flender still have any face?

How would others view Shrek Academy in the future?

Was this girl a devil?

"No need, this little bit of money, this Dean can still afford it."

Flender gritted his teeth so hard they almost shattered, his eye sockets even turning red.

"Hmm? Dean, your money pouch dropped."

At this moment, Lin Ye suddenly said.

Flender froze and looked in the direction Lin Ye was pointing.

A money pouch had appeared at his feet at some point.

This wasn't his money pouch!

But seeing Lin Ye's serious expression, he immediately understood.

"Yes, yes, yes, my money pouch dropped."

He quickly bent down to pick it up, and upon counting, it was exactly one hundred and twenty Gold Soul Coins!

"Waiter, settle the bill."

He handed the Gold Soul Coins to the waiter, who took them and left.

After paying the bill, Flender breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he truly examine Lin Ye and the others.

Hmm, the young waiter was very handsome, he must be a genius.

Most importantly, his character is excellent!

These three girls...

Their character is utter trash!

He hadn't forgotten how these three girls had acted like starving ghosts reincarnated, clearly having planned to trick him from the start.

"Are you students who just enrolled today?"

Flender cleared his throat.

Today was the academy's enrollment day, and since they called him Dean, they must be students enrolling today.

"Yes, my name is Lin Ye, my martial soul is Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, level sixty-five."

"My name is Xiao Wu, the 'wu' means dance, my martial soul is Soft Bone Rabbit, level forty-two."

"Zhu Zhuqing, Nether Civet martial soul, level twenty-seven."

"Ning Rongrong, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, level twenty-six."

Everyone reported their situation.

Flender was dumbfounded from the very beginning.

Level sixty-five?

Was he trying to fool him?

He hadn't reached the level of a doddering old man yet!

"You, level sixty-five?"

Flender's gaze, filled with deep doubt, scanned Lin Ye from head to toe.

A twelve-year-old child, level sixty-five?

There had never been such a super prodigy in the history of the Soul Master World.

He must be trying to fool him!

"Yes, Dean, please take a look?"

Lin Ye said, extending his hand. Flender's fingers immediately went to it.

This investigation truly startled him.

His Soul Power was incredibly potent, indeed reaching the Soul Emperor level.

At this, his pupils contracted to the size of needles.

"Good, such terrifying Soul Power, it's actually level sixty-five. You..."

Flender couldn't calm the shock within him.

What luck had the academy stumbled upon this year?

To have attracted such a super monster.

It must be great luck!

"Dean, Xiao Wu and the others are a bit mischievous. Please don't mind what happened just now."

Lin Ye said with a smile. After all, he was the Dean of Shrek, and he had to give him some face.

Flender was indeed very stingy, but when it came to his students, he never faltered.

"Cough cough~ I don't mind, I don't mind."

"You kid, you are absolutely the most terrifying super monster I've ever seen."

Flender shook his head. The slight displeasure he felt moments ago had long since vanished with the shock Lin Ye had given him.

Moreover, Xiao Wu at level forty-two, Zhu Zhuqing at level twenty-seven, and Ning Rongrong at level twenty-six!

Among them, Ning Rongrong's martial soul was the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

This meant she was a direct descendant of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

She might even be that very mysterious little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

The students his academy had recruited this year were all of great background.

"I'm happy today, take this, this meal is on me."

Flender took out his money pouch and handed it directly to Lin Ye, his smile uncontainable.

For the academy to recruit such a prodigy, he was more than happy to pay one hundred and twenty Gold Soul Coins.

"Dean, this..."

"It's nothing, just a little money. Come, come, let's go back to the academy."

Flender grabbed Lin Ye's hand and ran, afraid he would escape.

He had to hold onto such a super monster tightly; if he went to another academy, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

The three girls exchanged glances.

Just like that... he's leaving?

Exchanging a glance, they decisively followed after him.

"Xiao Wu, why did Lin Ye help the Dean pay the debt just now?"

Ning Rongrong was no fool; she knew that money pouch had been secretly tossed by Lin Ye.

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "He probably didn't want to make the situation too awkward. After all, we all have to stay at the academy. If we get targeted, what would we do?"

Ning Rongrong suddenly realized.

That made sense!

She hadn't expected that guy Lin Ye to be so thoughtful.

At this moment, Lin Ye was being dragged toward the academy, feeling a bit puzzled.

[That's strange. Weren't we here to bail out that old lecher? Why are we heading back to the academy now?]

[Are we just going to ignore that old lecher?]

Flender had been busy with this matter for the past two days.

With Dai Mubai arrested, he, as the Dean, certainly had to step in and get the person out.

That was why he hadn't been at the academy for the last two days.

He had been incredibly busy!

Yet now, he was bringing them back to the academy, seemingly having forgotten all about Dai Mubai?

By the time they reached the academy gate, Flender seemed to remember.

"Forget it, forget it. He's already been locked up anyway; a couple extra days inside won't hurt."
