Lin Chuan: Little Bai, You Should Call Me Teacher Now!

The other applicants were all frightened by the scene, each of them angry but too afraid to speak.

"Tch, what an ugly way to eat."

Just then, a mocking snicker suddenly rang out from the crowd.

With his hands in his pockets, Lin Chuan slowly strolled out from the back of the line.

He walked straight up to the father and son, who had not yet gone far, and lightly flicked a finger.

Clink, clink, clink...

Ten gleaming Gold Soul Coins traced an arc through the air.

They landed precisely in the hands of the still-shaken father.

"Take it, sir. Consider this the academy refunding you through me."

"Think of it as my sponsorship for the academy!"

Lin Chuan's voice was lazy, yet it carried clearly across the entire grounds.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the young man.

Some were shocked by his generosity, while others were even more shocked by his audacity.

He was openly slapping Shrek in the face!

And there was a Soul Elder standing right across from him!

In the crowd, Zhu Zhuqing, who had just arrived, saw the scene and her previously icy eyes instantly lit up.

"It's him!"

She looked at Dai Mubai, who was throwing his weight around with a vicious expression.

Then she looked at Lin Chuan, who seemed relaxed yet was generously helping others.

One used force to oppress the weak, defending so-called tyrannical rules to display his own strength.

The other used money and actions to help the weak, mocking injustice with an effortless air of freedom.

The difference between them was obvious.

Zhu Zhuqing's disgust for Dai Mubai deepened, and she even felt a wave of nausea.

Of course, she recognized Dai Mubai.

After all, the White Tiger Martial Soul of the Star Luo Royal Family was an iconic Martial Soul!

So this was the so-called Evil Eye White Tiger? He was nothing but a hooligan and a bully!

By comparison, though Lin Chuan appeared carefree and unrestrained, he possessed a sense of justice that inspired admiration deep within his bones.

Maybe... this was what a true strong person should be like.

Zhu Zhuqing silently thought to herself, her favorability toward Lin Chuan soaring.

On the other side, Ning Rongrong, who was standing in line, blinked her large eyes and watched Lin Chuan with great interest.

"Wow, he's so handsome! He actually dared to slap Shrek in the face in public. How interesting!"

As the little devil of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she hated rules the most and liked people who refused to play by convention.

What Lin Chuan had just done was completely to her taste!

I want to get to know him! Ning Rongrong secretly decided.

At the center of the grounds, the moment Dai Mubai saw Lin Chuan, old and new grudges surged into his heart at once, twisting his entire face.

"You again!"

Dai Mubai roared, clenching his fists until his knuckles cracked.

"In Suotuo City, you ambushed me before I was ready. But today, on my turf, you still dare to act so arrogantly!"

"Refunding their fees? You're insulting Shrek! I'm going to cripple you!"

As he spoke, Dai Mubai prepared to charge forward, the Soul Power around him surging once more.

"You want to touch my big brother? You'll have to get past me first!"

Tang San stepped forward and blocked Lin Chuan.

Although he did not like causing trouble, Lin Chuan's actions looked like chivalry in his eyes!

Besides, his big brother had given him such precious Hair Gold only yesterday. If he backed down now, what kind of brother would he be?

The two sides were on the verge of conflict, the air thick with tension as a fight seemed about to break out.

"Stop!"

A voice came from the air.

Like a gliding bird, Flender descended from above and landed in the middle of the grounds.

"Dean!"

The moment Dai Mubai saw Flender, it was as if he had found his savior. He hurriedly restrained his aura and pointed at Lin Chuan as he complained.

"This kid insulted the academy and disrupted the registration order! He has no respect for you at all!"

However, something happened that left everyone utterly dumbfounded.

Flender did not even glance at Dai Mubai.

Instead, he walked straight up to Lin Chuan.

The gloomy, stern expression on his face instantly turned into a bright, chrysanthemum-like smile.

"Oh! Teacher Lin!"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I would've gone to the village entrance to welcome you! In this scorching weather, you haven't gotten sunburned, have you?"

Everyone: ???

The entire place instantly froze.

Dai Mubai was dumbstruck, his pointing hand hanging stiffly in midair.

"Teacher Lin? Dean, did you mistake him for someone else? This kid..."

Tang San was also stunned. He muttered softly, "When did Big Brother become a teacher?"

Flender coughed twice and turned around.

He adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and solemnly announced to everyone.

"Allow me to introduce you all. Mr. Lin Chuan is the newly appointed honorary assistant instructor of Shrek Academy! Please welcome him with applause!"

What a joke!

That was one thousand Gold Soul Coins!

At Shrek Academy, where they had to calculate endlessly even when buying vegetables for the cafeteria, Lin Chuan was their biggest financial backer!

Calling him an assistant instructor was nothing!

If the money was enough, even calling him Grandpa would make Flender hesitate over whether to agree!

Dai Mubai felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.

The person who had sent him flying yesterday had transformed into his teacher today?

How was he supposed to get revenge now?

Would he have to bow and greet him as Teacher whenever they met from now on?

That was more unbearable than killing him!

Lin Chuan turned his head and looked at Dai Mubai with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery.

"Did you hear that? From now on, at the academy, respect your teachers and honor the Way, understand? Little Bai."

"You..." Dai Mubai's chest heaved violently with rage.

A mouthful of blood lodged in his throat, and he nearly fainted from anger.

Ning Rongrong's eyes shone even more brightly!

He's so wicked, but I like him so much!

Lin Chuan's scheming yet domineering type was simply perfect for the little devil that was her!

Zhu Zhuqing was the same. Upon suddenly learning that Lin Chuan had become an assistant instructor, she recalled what he had said yesterday: "If fate allows, we'll meet again."

So he already knew I would come here to register, and that was why he said it?

A girl's thoughts were always sensitive and delicate.

That sense of destiny made her gaze toward Lin Chuan grow even gentler.

The farce was temporarily settled.

Lin Chuan led Tang San and the others smoothly into the assessment area.

As a result, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong happened to join up with Lin Chuan, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.

Dai Mubai walked ahead to lead the way, feeling utterly stifled.

Especially whenever he saw Zhu Zhuqing.

His fiancée, who should have belonged to him, kept glancing at Lin Chuan from the corner of her eye while completely ignoring him, her fiancé.

He was going mad with jealousy!

As they passed an open area,

a peach-eyed "uncle" was pushing a cart and hawking sausages.

"Selling sausages! Oscar-brand Big Sausages, delicious and sweet..."

Dai Mubai had been looking for somewhere to vent his anger. The moment he saw Oscar, his fury flared, and he kicked over Oscar's stall.

"Selling, selling, selling! All you know is selling! You Big Sausage Uncle, stop embarrassing yourself here!"

Oscar looked innocently at the sausages scattered all over the ground. He scratched his head and muttered softly.

"What's wrong with Boss Dai? Did he eat gunpowder?"

"Could it be that those twin sisters dumped him, so he's in such a bad mood?"

Though his voice was quiet, everyone present was a Soul Master and heard him perfectly clearly.

Zhu Zhuqing halted, her brows tightly furrowed. "Twins?"
