"Fine, Xiaogang, I won't hide it from you. With Feng Yang's personality, he would never agree. Besides, you should know that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing are now Feng Yang's disciples. If Feng Yang left Shrek Academy in a fit of anger, not only would he leave, but Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing might leave too. That would mean Shrek Academy losing two little monsters for nothing!"
"What's there to fear?" Master Yu Xiaogang said with complete confidence. "With my reputation, wouldn't it be easy for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to take me as their teacher instead?"
"Really?" Flender found it hard to believe.
"Of course."
.
Flender pondered for several seconds.
Weighing the gains and losses, with Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's name, it shouldn't be difficult. If he could truly keep Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, then even if Feng Yang left, it would not be much of a problem. After all, he was merely a teacher hired by the academy. Little Shrek might not be able to keep him in the future anyway.
In the end, Flender decided to firmly support his friend.
"Fine. Once the children come over, I'll announce it."
"Mm."
Master Yu Xiaogang immediately felt delighted!
Feng Yang! Even with my martial soul crippled, I still made a name for myself in the Soul Master world. You dare fight me?
Feng Yang led the Shrek group into the academy and passed through the open grounds.
"Dean."
"Dean."
Oscar and Ma Hongjun both greeted him.
"You're back. Did you win?"
Flender asked.
He did not forget to glance at Tang San, whose expression was downcast.
"A narrow victory," Feng Yang answered indifferently.
Flender let out a long sigh of relief inwardly.
He had truly been afraid that Shrek would lose its first team battle.
He cared far too much about reputation.
After all, amid all that mockery, if Shrek had still lost, there would have been no salvaging it.
This way, at the very least, everyone would only be laughing at Tang San alone.
Flender had calculated things quite well.
"Good. Don't rest yet, everyone. I have something to say."
"First, let me introduce someone." Flender glanced at Master Yu Xiaogang. "Do you know who this is?"
"Hmm?"
"Forget it, I'll introduce him directly." Flender said, "This is the very famous Grandmaster of our Soul Master world, Yu Xiaogang."
"Hmm?"
"Hmm?"
"So he's the Grandmaster!"
"The Ten Great Soul Master Theories he proposed have spread throughout the entire Soul Master world."
"I heard that even many Soul Douluo have to show the Grandmaster some respect."
"He's that impressive?"
.
Seeing the Shrek students' praise, Master Yu Xiaogang felt immensely pleased!
With one hand behind his back, he stood there tall and proud.
"Hello, everyone. I am Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang."
"Hello, Grandmaster."
"Starting today, Yu Xiaogang will be responsible for your instruction, while Teacher Feng Yang will serve as his teaching assistant and assist Yu Xiaogang with teaching." Flender continued.
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
"Really?"
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were naturally delighted.
"How can that be?"
Ning Rongrong directly voiced her dissatisfaction.
Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but her face was icy.
"Wonderful, Teacher. You'll be guiding us from now on." Tang San even directly offered his congratulations.
Xiao Wu also looked displeased. She looked at Tang San and muttered under her breath.
"Hmph, what are you showing off for?"
"Feng Yang." Flender looked over. "This arrangement is fine, right? You'll have it much easier in the future."
Hmph.
Feng Yang gave a silent, mocking snort.
A tiny Shrek Academy, yet they were playing such petty tricks.
"Are you sure you've thought this through?"
Upon hearing that—
Flender inexplicably felt somewhat uneasy.
But when he thought of how Feng Yang was only a level 61 Soul Emperor, while he, Flender, was a level 78 Soul Saint, he no longer had anything to fear.
"Mm."
"Fine."
Leaving behind those two words—
Feng Yang headed straight for his room.
"Master!"
"Master!"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both called out to him.
When Feng Yang did not respond—
Ning Rongrong immediately grew angry, marched up, and furiously snapped at Flender.
"You Four-eyed Toad! My master has been teaching us perfectly well. What right do you have to make him an assistant teacher?"
Everyone was stunned.
Especially Master Yu Xiaogang.
Ning Rongrong had actually called Flender a Four-eyed Toad to his face?
Was that not absurd?
Even if she was the little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she should not have been this outrageous, right?
"If my master leaves Shrek, I'll leave Shrek too," Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
.
.
"That's right! Me too!" Ning Rongrong shouted right after her.
.
.
This scene—
Truly left Flender somewhat bewildered.
He had never expected Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong to react so strongly!
For a moment, he panicked and looked pleadingly toward Master Yu Xiaogang.
Master Yu Xiaogang knew it was time for him to step in.
"You two, please calm down."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stopped with cold expressions, glaring unhappily at the man trying to push their master aside.
"What do you want?"
"I know you have a special trust in your master and hope Feng Yang will continue teaching you." Master Yu Xiaogang pretended to be understanding.
"Then why do you insist on squeezing in?" Ning Rongrong shouted.
"That is because I am doing this for your own good. My teaching is among the best in the entire Star Dou Empire. I hope you can accept it," Master Yu Xiaogang said.
"Tch."
Ning Rongrong gave him no face at all. She folded her arms across her chest and turned her head to one side.
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head the other way.
This scene caused Master Yu Xiaogang to begin feeling rather annoyed!
His life had gone quite smoothly over the years.
Wherever he went, people respected him. Wherever he went, people gave him some face.
But after coming to Shrek, Feng Yang had first mercilessly mocked him for overestimating himself, and now these two girls were treating him like this.
This was truly—
"Heh heh." Master Yu Xiaogang forced out a smile. "Of course, if you are willing, I can also be your teacher."
It would have been better if he had not said that.
The moment he did, he instantly enraged the two girls.
"What? You think you're worthy of being our teacher? Are you joking? What level are you? You want to replace our master?" Ning Rongrong relentlessly mocked and berated him without giving him the slightest face.
She directly said everything Zhu Zhuqing had wanted to say.
Zhu Zhuqing could only be somewhat more restrained.
"I have only one master, and that is Feng Yang. This so-called Grandmaster should stop daydreaming."
Cold—still just as cold.
.
.
Flender and Master Yu Xiaogang were both dumbfounded.
They had never expected things to turn out like this—
Especially Master Yu Xiaogang.
His fury was already burning fiercely!
He wanted nothing more than to beat the two girls in front of him senseless.
Ning Rongrong's words—"What level are you?"—
Had struck directly at his greatest pain.
Together with Zhu Zhuqing calling him a "so-called Grandmaster"—
That was the title he was proudest of, yet they looked down on it like this.
