Yu Xiaogang, King of Trash Talk

Seeing Yan Tian's serious, solemn expression, Master knew that he was right. In this world where strength was revered above all else, weakness was the only sin.

But Tang San was his disciple. He could not just watch Tang San get expelled from the academy.

"Yan Tian, even if Xiao San was at fault, can't you forgive him once for the sake of him still being a child?! Besides, when it came down to it, you were also at fault in this matter. If you hadn't failed to kill that Ghost Vine, why would we have ended up like this?!

"How about this? I'll have Xiao San come in and apologize to you, and you take a step back and let him return to class! What do you say? Don't forget, with Xiao San's talent, if he went to another school, you'd be the one losing out!"

Master said in a deep voice.

With his pride, lowering his head to a Soul Ancestor dean was already his limit.

"Master, there's no need to say any more. Letting Tang San come back would be an insult to my position as dean!"

Dean Yan said angrily as he looked at the persistently entangled Yu Xiaogang.

Once there was a first time, there would be a second. Yan Tian had no desire to be mocked to his face by Tang San again!

Seeing Dean Yan's resolute expression, Yu Xiaogang knew he could only resort to his trump card.

"Yan Tian, since you're so determined to drive Xiao San away, I can only leave the academy as well. After all, Xiao San is my disciple. If he leaves, I'll leave with him!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Dean Yan could not help but sneer.

"What, are you planning to force me with this?! Hmph, Master, Master, you really have never put yourself in the right position. I invited you to stay for a few days, yet you ended up living here for years, eating and drinking for free. That would have been one thing, but now you want to use this to pressure me?

"Fine, if you want to leave, then leave! I won't keep you. But before this afternoon, Master, please pack up your personal belongings. Otherwise, I'll have someone throw them out!"

"Yan Tian, you!!"

Seeing Yan Tian be so heartless, Yu Xiaogang's face immediately filled with shock and fury.

He had not expected Yan Tian to actually agree to his resignation. How dared he?

He, the great Master, had actually been driven out.

For a moment, Yu Xiaogang dearly wanted to say that everything he had just said was said in anger.

But the words had already left his mouth. With his pride, he could not take them back.

Thus, he could only make a harsh threat.

"Hmph, Yan Tian, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. With Xiao San's talent, in a few decades, he will be one of those standing at the peak of the continent. When that time comes, you'll regret this!"

With that, Master headed straight outside.

But he had not gone far when Dean Yan's voice came from behind him.

"Hmph, Yu Xiaogang, put away your ridiculous words! With Tang San's temperament, even if he truly became one of the few at the continent's peak, I still wouldn't want to build connections with him. A person who fawns over the rich and despises the poor—I'm not worthy of him.

"And Yu Xiaogang, if you really have such backbone, go settle the meal money you owe. The cafeteria staff have complained to me several times already, saying that you eat without paying."

Hearing Yan Tian speak of his disciple like that, Yu Xiaogang's expression became even gloomier.

"Hmph! It's just meal money?! I, Master, am renowned throughout the Soul Master world. Could I possibly be unable to afford a few meals?!"

With that, Master held his head high and strode quickly toward the cafeteria.

It was just some meals at the cafeteria. Was there really any need to make such a big deal out of it?

When the cafeteria manager saw Master coming to settle his account, his face immediately lit up with delight.

He promptly took out the ledger and began calculating.

After calculating the bill, Master was dumbfounded.

"Why is it so expensive?! Twenty-five Gold Soul Coins?!! You aren't trying to cheat me, are you?"

Master glared angrily at the elderly man managing the cafeteria.

He had merely come to eat! What kind of meals could cost twenty-five Gold Soul Coins?!

"Master, there can't be any mistake. Because of your distinguished status, I specially recorded every expense from each of your meals. If you don't believe me, see for yourself!"

Master immediately snatched the ledger and began checking it.

For a time, in the silent cafeteria, only the rustling sound of Yu Xiaogang turning pages remained.

By the time he reached the final page, Yu Xiaogang's expression had turned incomparably ugly.

Because every entry on the bill was correct. Not a single one was unnecessary or mistaken.

He truly owed twenty Gold Soul Coins here!

And that was only for the cafeteria, not including his lodging expenses.

"Master, since there's no problem, how would you like to settle the bill?"

The elderly man asked with a smile.

Twenty-five Gold Soul Coins! Even a Soul Master collecting their stipend would need more than two years to earn that much!

Hearing the old man's words, Master could not help but reveal a stifled expression.

He felt around in his pockets, not knowing what to say.

Twenty-five Gold Soul Coins—where was he supposed to get that much money?

Although he had only recently collected his subsidy from Spirit Hall, it had only been ten Gold Soul Coins. He was still far from twenty-five Gold Soul Coins!

Not to mention that taking Xiao San to obtain a soul ring a few days ago had also cost money!

"I... I..."

At that moment, Master suddenly deeply regretted why he had spoken so impulsively earlier.

Now he was in such an embarrassing state!!

"Old Wang, the dean said that if Master doesn't have enough money for now, he can pay however much he has. He can repay the remaining amount next month after he collects his stipend from Spirit Hall!"

Just as Yu Xiaogang's face was full of embarrassment, Director Zhang from the Academic Affairs Office hurried over and spoke to Old Wang, who managed the accounts.

"Oh! No problem. Then, Master, how much can you pay first?! I'll record it in the ledger!"

Old Wang said to Yu Xiaogang with a faint smile.

Hearing them speak of him like that, Yu Xiaogang became even more enraged.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

He could only rage helplessly.

In the end, with insufficient money on him, Yu Xiaogang could only take out eight Gold Soul Coins in utter humiliation, line them up in a row, and place them before Old Wang.

"I'll give you eight coins first! I'll have someone deliver the rest!"

"Then Master, please have someone send it over as soon as possible within the next year. If you delay too long, I'm afraid you might forget!"

Director Zhang said.

"Hmph! I, Yu Xiaogang, always keep my word. Would I possibly default on a mere dozen or so Gold Soul Coins?!"

With that, Master left directly, ignoring the idle chatter of Director Zhang and Old Wang.

However, although Yu Xiaogang put on an indifferent appearance, his heart was already filled with anguish and fury.

On his way back to his room, Yu Xiaogang endured the mocking gazes of everyone passing by. The anger and shame in his heart erupted with overwhelming intensity.

He had already made up his mind. Once they were settled in at Shrek, he would immediately use his theories to train Xiao San in every aspect! He would show those blind fools, and make them regret the decision they had made today!
