"You don't just look like me, you are me!" Qi Ling said irritably. "Old man, let me tell you, if you dare to scheme against me, I'll never forgive you!"
"Oh, look at you, so timid! It's a good thing, really a good thing!" Dugu Bo laughed. "Actually, it's like this: when you left Heaven Dou Academy before, didn't that kid Qin Ming go with you too?"
"That's right, Teacher Qin Ming came with us voluntarily, so it doesn't count as us poaching him!" Qi Ling said.
"I know, but Qin Ming's departure also affected a group of teachers who had good relationships with him, so Heaven Dou Academy is now facing a shortage of teachers!" Dugu Bo said.
" Heaven Dou Academy is short of teachers? How could that be? That's the best school in terms of facilities, how could it be short of teachers?" Qi Ling asked in surprise.
"We don't lack teachers, but we lack good teachers who can teach real skills! The people at the Heaven Dou Academy also know that if things continue like this, the school will be ruined, so they previously consulted with me, hoping that I could go and teach there," Dugu Bo continued.
Qi Ling laughed and said, "Do you think they can get you to come? You're such an old man, you're practically rusty with laziness, it's impossible for them to get you to come."
"Hmm, you know me best." Dugu Bo wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he said with great pride, "So, I directly rejected them, but I also promised to help them find a talented teacher to supplement their teaching staff."
"That's where Yanyan goes to school, so I can't be careless. That's why I came to the Shrek Academy to see if there's any solution."
"Hey old man, let me tell you, you're not allowed to poach our academy's members!" Qi Ling said. "You're supposed to be an advisor to our academy, you can't be biased towards outsiders!"
To everyone's surprise, Dugu Bo remained silent after hearing this, only smiling as he watched Qi Ling.
Qi Ling felt uneasy under Dugu Bo's gaze, a bad premonition rising within her. Combining this with what he had just said, Qi Ling boldly guessed, "Old man, you don't mean... you want me to go, do you?"
"Haha, you guessed right!" Dugu Bo said excitedly. "I was worried before that sending you might mislead the students, but now it seems there was no need for that at all! The skill you just showed was better than those three old guys!"
"What the heck? You're kidding me! I'm only thirteen years old. What kind of teacher am I? Besides, I'm a student at the Shrek Academy. How could I possibly become a teacher at the Heaven Dou Academy? Dean Flender wouldn't agree to that!" Qi Ling said speechlessly.
Dugu Bo confidently replied, "Don't worry, I've already considered this. Dean Flender has already agreed!"
"W-what? How could he possibly agree?!" Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise, but then he saw Dugu Bo's smug smile and immediately realized, "It was you who did this, wasn't it? The Dean's biggest weakness is his greed, and it's so easy for you to sway him!"
"You got it right again, kid. I've discovered that with a brain like yours, it's a real shame you're not a teacher!" Dugu Bo said.
At this moment, Dugu Yan said, " Qi Ling, why don't you come to our school? That way I can see you more often!"
"No way! Forget about it!" Qi Ling refused.
"Hey, kid, that's not very nice of you!" Dugu Bo said, feigning displeasure. "When you sent me here, I followed you without a second thought!"
"What? Now that I need your help, you're making excuses? Is there no way we can continue this relationship?"
"You..." Qi Ling was speechless. This old man hadn't made much progress in other areas in the past six months, but his shamelessness had only grown thicker! She really didn't know where he had learned it from!
"Anyway, your dean has already agreed to this, so it's no use if you don't want to come!" Dugu Bo said as he and Dugu Yan left, "I'm taking Yanyan to Soul Hunting rings first!"
"Damn it! Take this!" Qi Ling tossed something to Dugu Bo speechlessly.
Dugu Bo looked at the small medicine bottle in his hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"
" Spirit Ascension Pill! Something that can increase the maximum age Soul Master can absorb for Soul Ring!" Qi Ling said helplessly. "The one you have is a special version that I made using herbs from your area. Conservatively speaking, it can increase the age by 20%, which is a thousand years!"
"Wow! Qi Ling, thank you!" Dugu Yan immediately rushed over, hugged Qi Ling, and kissed her. Since Qi Ling had taken out the Spirit Ascension Pill, it was naturally for her own use. "Next week, I'll be waiting for you at the Heaven Dou Academy! I'll thank you properly then!"
Dugu Bo looked at the small medicine bottle in his hand, carefully put it away, and muttered to himself, "Why can't I figure out these things?"
After the two left, Qi Ling angrily went to find Flender, only to find him sitting in his seat drinking tea with a smug smile on his face, as if he had gotten a great deal.
"Dean, did you agree to send me to the Heaven Dou Academy?" Qi Ling asked speechlessly.
"Ah, you mean that matter? Yes, I agreed to it!" Flender put down his teacup as he saw Qi Ling. "After all, Senior Dugu has helped us so much, we couldn't very well refuse him, could we? Besides, once you go to the Heaven Dou Academy, you can better help us gather intelligence, since the Imperial Fighting Team is one of our strongest opponents..."
"Bullshit! The Imperial Fighting Team is so small, I could beat them with one hand!" Qi Ling said irritably. "Tell me honestly, Dean, how much did that old guy Dugu Bo give you?"
"Hehe, it's not much. It's just that money is just an external thing for him anyway. There's nothing wrong with him sponsoring our academy," Flender laughed.
"And then you sold me out? Dean, that's so unfair! At least..." Qi Ling said righteously, "At least share some with me!"
"No way!" The moment money was mentioned, Flender immediately switched to ruthless mode. "This is vital operating funds for the Shrek Academy; how can we waste them!"
" Qi Ling, the academy will remember your great contribution! Please don't forget to teach at the Heaven Dou Academy next week!" As Flender spoke, he flew out the window like a large bird. As the owner of the Cat Owl Martial Soul, he could really fly.
"Starting next week, in addition to being an outstanding student of the Shrek Academy, you will also be an honorary external instructor of the Heaven Dou Academy! You must work hard!"
As Flender's voice faded into the distance, Qi Ling knew that there was no hope of catching up. For Soul Saint of the Agility Attack System to try to escape was no joke.
So, I'm really going to take up a position at the Heaven Dou Academy?
