"As for this matter, I think we should wait until we see Yu Tianheng before discussing it."
Yun Tian's words left everyone somewhat confused. Qin Ming suddenly had a bad feeling, but he could only keep reassuring himself that he was overthinking things.
"Alright!"
Ning Rongrong did not understand either, but since Brother Yun Tian had said so, she naturally chose to trust him.
They arrived at the entrance to Shrek Academy.
Looking at the entrance before him, which was no different from a small village, Chen Xin's hand twitched slightly before he ultimately lowered it again.
Shrek Academy was so shabby and impoverished that it had nothing in common with the intelligence reports claiming it had abundant teaching resources and an exceptionally superior cultivation environment. And Fengzhi had actually said that Yu Xiaogang possessed great wisdom?
"Uh, please excuse the sorry state of things..."
Flender gave an awkward laugh. He truly did not have the money to renovate and rebuild Shrek Academy. As for where all the money had gone, only he himself knew.
"Your academy is this run-down, yet you dare advertise that you only accept monsters?"
"Children who meet such standards would receive better resources even if they attended ordinary intermediate or advanced soul master academies."
Chen Xin spoke indifferently. If the sign at the entrance had not borne the words Shrek Academy, he would have truly thought this was just an ordinary village.
The group remained standing at the entrance without any intention of going inside. Flender could only head in with Zhao Wuji and the others to find Yu Xiaogang.
As for whether the other party would run?
Chen Xin had plenty of authority on that matter. Trying to escape from his hands? If one sword strike did not kill them, he would consider it an explosion.
"Old Zhao, take Xiao Ao, Hongjun, and Mubai to find Teacher Shao Xin and the others. I'll head back to my office first and see whether Xiaogang is there."
"Alright, Headmaster."
Suppressing their nausea and discomfort, the group carried Dai Mubai toward the cafeteria.
Flender, meanwhile, possessed by his owl spirit, quickly flew toward his office.
"Xiaogang!"
The moment he opened the door, he saw Yu Xiaogang sitting with one leg crossed over the other. Yu Tianheng sat opposite him, and each held a cup of tea with premium tea leaves that Flender had treasured for many years floating on top.
"You, you two..."
"Flender, you're back? How did it go? Is that brat Yun Tian dead?"
Before Flender could answer, Yu Xiaogang set down his teacup, rose to his feet, and said with a profound expression:
"Tianheng, see what I just told you? The moment Flender returned, he would definitely bring up this matter. That Yun Tian is as good as dead!"
His idol, the Clear Sky Douluo, had come personally. How could Yun Tian possibly survive?
"As expected of Uncle! I knew those rumors within the clan were false. You must be the wisest person!"
"Oh, right, Flender, where's Xiao San? Tell him to come find me. There's training to arrange tomorrow."
Only after Yu Xiaogang finished asking and realized no one was answering did he turn to look at Flender. What entered his sight was Flender's bruised and swollen face.
Only then did he realize that things seemed to have developed differently from what he had imagined.
"Flender, what happened to you?"
"Xiaogang, what the hell are you talking about? Sword Douluo is waiting outside for you right now. If you don't go out, we're all finished!"
Flender truly felt like crying. He had been outside getting beaten and suffering, while his good brother was in his office drinking the tea he had treasured for years?
"Hey, Flender, what are you doing?!"
Unable to worry about anything else, Flender grabbed Yu Xiaogang and flew out through the window. Seeing this, Yu Tianheng hurriedly followed.
At the academy entrance, Sword Douluo was still discussing Ning Rongrong's enrollment with Qin Ming.
"Rongrong, you'll return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy with them later. Grandpa Sword will handle things with your father!"
When it came to doting on Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin was no less indulgent than Ning Fengzhi. His little princess had suffered such grievances. If she still did not withdraw from school, there would be no justice in the world.
Scratching his head, Qin Ming could only agree for now. Since Sword Douluo had spoken personally, the matter was naturally settled.
"Your Excellency Sword Douluo!"
A streak of light flew over from the distance. Flender arrived before them while carrying the still-bewildered Yu Xiaogang.
"Look at this so-called master. He's such a loser!"
"Yeah, at his age, he still has to be carried around."
"Y-you, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm incredibly brave, alright? My Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Masters are unrivaled across the entire continent!"
Hearing the girls ridicule him like that, Yu Xiaogang's old face instantly turned bright red. He would never allow anyone to mock him like this!
"Yu Xiaogang, I heard you possess great wisdom. I wonder if you could offer me some guidance?"
Looking up at Sword Douluo towering over him, Yu Xiaogang's legs began trembling uncontrollably beneath his trousers.
Close.
Too close!
How could he, a twenty-ninth-level "peerless genius" over fifty, possibly withstand the aura of a Title Douluo like Chen Xin?
"Tch, Xiaogang, why are you shaking?"
Because he was holding Yu Xiaogang, Flender immediately noticed something was wrong. Frowning, he simply let go, and Yu Xiaogang dropped straight to the ground, landing flat on his face.
"Sword Douluo?! And Yun Tian, you're not dead?"
"What, were you hoping I'd die?"
Yun Tian stepped forward with a faint smile. The Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand radiated waves of coldness beneath the moonlight. Even now, Yu Xiaogang was still such a bully to the weak and cowardly before the strong.
"I won't waste time. Take one attack from me. If you don't die, we'll forget about you bullying Rongrong. If you die, then you were just weak!"
"Stop! He's my uncle, the eldest legitimate son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the son of Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen! You're making an enemy of our clan!"
Just as the tension on the scene reached a breaking point, Yu Tianheng ran over, panting heavily. Seeing his uncle being bullied like this, he could no longer endure it.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Chen Xin narrowed his eyes. If that was the case, it would not be convenient for him to act. Since it involved matters between the upper three sects, he first had to consider the safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
While he was thinking, Yu Tianheng saw that Chen Xin had actually been "frightened" and could not help feeling smug.
So what if he was Sword Douluo?
Upon hearing the name of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had still been scared stiff!
"Tianheng, what do you mean by that?!"
Qin Ming's heart tightened the instant he heard Yu Tianheng speak that way.
"What do I mean? This isn't over, you bullied my uncle. I'm no longer a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I'm joining Shrek Academy, and I'll stand with my uncle through thick and thin!"
Boom!
White-blue soul power erupted around Chen Xin in an instant. The aura of a Title Douluo blasted Yu Tianheng and the fallen Yu Xiaogang dozens of meters away.
"Boy, are you threatening me?"
After so many years, this was the first time such a junior had used his sect to threaten him. Chen Xin was incomparably enraged.
His longsword left its sheath, and the sharp sword intent pierced everyone present until they could not open their eyes.
