A satisfied smile appeared on Gu Wuchen's lips:
" Dean Liu is indeed a smart man. It's a pleasure working with you."
Bo Saixi, standing to the side, held a teacup, took a small sip, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
I never expected this kid to be so capable, and also so good at negotiating business. No wonder he's so popular.
The Sea of Consciousness.
The Snow Empress was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "As expected of Little Wuchen, he's so clever."
Ice Empress nodded in agreement.
"That's right, this kid's quick-witted. And Xue'er, next time you're not allowed to sneak out without me at all. You can't eat alone."
Liu Erlong picked up the pen on the table, his fingertips trembling slightly.
She stared at the terms of the contract, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Blue Tyrant Academy was the culmination of her life's work, and now it was about to change hands. It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad, but then she thought about it again and realized that Gu Wuchen was right. She was still the dean, and nothing about the academy had changed. On the contrary, she would receive the full support of the Gu Clan.
Seeing her hesitation, Gu Wuchen added calmly:
" Dean Liu, just sign it. Don't you think about what might happen if the Spirit Hall really wants to unify the continent and destroy the Heaven Dou Empire one day?"
"How long can your little Blue Tyrant Academy last? By then, not only will the academy be gone, but your own safety will be in danger."
Liu Erlong suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking sharply:
"Are you telling the truth? Does the Spirit Hall really have this ambition?"
"Who knows?" Gu Wuchen smiled, his tone casual yet undeniably persuasive.
"However, I can guarantee that as long as Blue Tyrant Academy belongs to the Gu Clan, even if the Heaven Dou Empire is destroyed, the Gu Clan can ensure your safety and that of the academy. If you don't agree, then you really won't have another chance."
Liu Erlong gritted her teeth and no longer hesitated. She took a deep breath and signed her name heavily at the end of the contract.
The sound of a pen gliding across paper was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
Gu Wuchen picked up the contract, glanced at it, nodded in satisfaction, and stored it in his Storage Soul Tool.
"Very good. From today onwards, Blue Tyrant Academy will be a property of the Gu Clan."
Don't worry, I mean what I say. I'll give you every penny of the support you're owed. If there's anything you can't handle in the future, just contact me directly.
After saying that, Gu Wuchen took out another black gold card and threw it into Liu Erlong's hand:
"Here are the five million Gold Soul Coin I mentioned earlier. Use them for the academy's upgrade. Remember, any major changes to the academy in the future must be approved by me first, understand?"
As the person in charge behind the scenes, he wouldn't let Liu Erlong foolishly hand over the position of dean to Flender.
"Understood." Liu Erlong looked at the heavy black gold card in his hand, completely unable to believe that in the blink of an eye, Blue Tyrant Academy had completely changed hands.
Liu Erlong took a deep breath, trying to calm his complicated emotions, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
" Young Master Gu, why did you choose my academy? The Four Elements Academy is far superior to Blue Tyrant in both scale and reputation."
"I will also acquire the other Four Elements Academy."
Gu Wuchen said calmly:
"However, your Blue Tyrant Academy is the first, but of course, it won't be the last."
Liu Erlong felt a chill run down her spine; Gu Wuchen's ambitions clearly went beyond this.
The Gu Clan family is now a large and powerful family, and it's unexpected that this young heir has such a grand vision.
" Young Master Gu, may I ask who this lady is?" Liu Erlong looked at Bo Saixi; her demeanor was extraordinary, clearly indicating she was no ordinary person.
Gu Wuchen introduced:
"Poseidon, High Priestess of Bo Saixi High Priest of Sea God Island."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's expression changed drastically:
"High Priest! Isn't that the person Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were pursuing a long time ago?"
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi glanced at Liu Erlong indifferently and said calmly:
"Those are just rumors from the outside world. They did come to Sea God Island back then and expressed their feelings, but I never showed any affection for either of them."
As she spoke, she reached out and gently pinched Gu Wuchen's ear, a faint smile playing on her lips:
"Right now, I'm just Chen'er's aunt, nothing more. Dean Liu, don't overthink it."
"Ouch! Auntie, what are you doing!" Gu Wuchen winced in pain and quickly reached out to pry her hand away.
Bo Saixi chuckled and released her grip. "It doesn't hurt."
Liu Erlong stood aside, dumbfounded.
She never imagined that the legendary High Priest of Sea God Island would be like this in private, so intimate with Gu Wuchen.
Gu Wuchen rubbed his reddened ears and glared at Bo Saixi with annoyance.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Snow Empress trembled with rage.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Snow Empress clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth:
"That Bo Saixi has gone too far! How dare she pull Little Wuchen's ear in public! When no one's around, just wait and see if I don't beat her up! I can't take this anymore!"
Ice Empress quickly pulled her back, saying helplessly, "Alright, alright, don't be angry."
"I don't care!" Snow Empress said angrily, "She just can't touch Little Wuchen! If she dares to lay a hand on her again, I'll freeze her hands!"
Gu Wuchen, unaware of the commotion within his Sea of Consciousness, nodded to Liu Erlong:
" Dean Liu, we'll take our leave now. The supplies will arrive in three days."
Just as Bo Saixi was about to get up, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
A young teacher rushed in, panting, her face full of excitement:
"Dean! Great news! A lot of people have come to apply for teaching positions, including two Soul Saint! They say they're from the Shrek Academy and want to teach here!"
"Two Soul Saint?" Liu Erlong's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up. "Quick! Bring them in!"
Liu Erlong turned to look at Gu Wuchen, a hint of apology on her face:
" Young Master Gu, High Priest, I'm so sorry, please wait a moment."
"It's alright." Gu Wuchen leaned back in his chair, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Perfect timing. I also want to see what the legendary Shrek Academy is really like."
He chuckled inwardly; it was truly a case of timing being better than arriving early.
He had just taken over Blue Tyrant Academy when Yu Xiaogang and Flender delivered themselves right to his doorstep.
That's good, saves me the trouble of looking for them.
Bo Saixi leaned close to Gu Wuchen's ear, somewhat puzzled, and whispered:
"Is Shrek Academy famous? I've never heard of it."
"It's a very small academy, but it has produced a few interesting people," Gu Wuchen explained in a low voice. "One of them is named Yu Xiaogang. I think he's an old friend of Dean Liu, right?"
His tone carried a hint of amusement.
Bo Saixi raised an eyebrow, immediately intrigued, and sat down again, ready to watch a good show.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps approached.
Flender walked at the front, followed by Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, and several Shrek Academy teachers.
They all looked travel-worn and exhausted, clearly having traveled a long way.
