"How could I, Yu Xiaogang, care about these worldly possessions that we cannot bring with us from birth nor take with us in death? It's just that I can't swallow this indignity!"
Master uttered a cold snort.
"Can't swallow this indignity? What indignity can't you swallow? Was it wrong of me to hand over Shrek Academy to Master Flander? You were such good brothers, and he's the person I trust the most. Moreover, based on old Shrek's foundation, he's very familiar with all aspects of the academy. It was the most suitable decision to give it to him. Could it be that you were hoping I would hand the academy over to you?"
At that moment, Liu Erlong looked at Master.
Her beautiful eyes were brimming with light.
"I never said that! I just feel that Shrek Academy doesn't value me! Since they don't value me, it should be no problem for me to go elsewhere, right?"
Master stood with his hands behind his back as he spoke.
"Not value you? Didn't Master Flander just say he wanted to appoint you as the head of teaching? Isn't that enough?"
Liu Erlong retorted.
"Heh, head of teaching! Wouldn't I still be under someone else's thumb at every turn?"
Master angrily flicked his sleeve!
With a very dissatisfied demeanor!
"Ask yourself, who's restricting you? Brock, if you truly decide to leave Shrek Academy today, then don't you ever come back!"
Liu Erlong pointed to the distant gates of Shrek Academy as she spoke.
"Ah, Second Dragon, why must you do this? My mind is made up!"
Master sighed helplessly.
"Then go ahead and leave! Just like before, slip away without a sound!"
Liu Erlong exploded with anger!!
"This..."
Seeing the furious Liu Erlong, Master suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.
It was as if once he stepped out that door, Liu Erlong would cut off all ties with him forever.
"Brock, don't make Second Dragon angry. Even though Wuji is the vice principal, your treatment in the academy is the same as before, and no one can order you around. This should be fine, right?"
Flender spoke to Master.
"Look, Yu Xiaogang, even boss Flander says so! This is, after all, the academy founded by Liu Erlong. Who would dare to bully you! You're just being too hard on yourself!"
Liu Erlong said.
With a look of frustration at the disappointment.
"Fine! Then I, Yu Xiaogang, will take the position of head of teaching at Shrek Academy, and everyone should prepare. Tomorrow, follow me to challenge Tian Dou Royal Academy!"
Suddenly, Master turned around.
Good grief, he was almost duped.
Flender was cunning indeed.
He deliberately used reverse psychology and divide-and-conquer tactics to make him leave on his own.
Afterward, Second Dragon would sever ties with him completely.
Then this scoundrel would take advantage of the situation.
Heh!!
He had almost fallen for it!
Lucky for him, he had realized what was happening in time!
"Ah? Brock, you're agreeing to it!!"
Seeing Master readily agree,
Flender was somewhat astonished.
The other's attitude had changed as quickly as flipping a book, fast!
"Yes, I've agreed. Are you surprised, astonished, disappointed?"
Master looked at Flender as he spoke.
There seemed to be a few more provocative glints in his eyes!
"Ah? Why would I be disappointed?"
Flender was somewhat confused.
"Heh, certain people know why!"
Master stood with his hands behind his back!
Liu Erlong was his!
Flender wanted to compete with Yu Xiaogang for her? He was still too green!
"Sigh."
Seeing this, Liu Erlong sighed deeply.
Then she left.
Her emotions were incredibly complex at that moment.
On the other side.
"Zhu Qing, you've returned. How are things over there?"
At the Dugu Family residence.
"Everything is settled. I've successfully taken over Shrek Academy and appointed Zhao Wuji as vice principal."
Zhu Zhuqing replied.
"Alright, you did a good job, go back first!"
Ye Feng nodded his head.
"Mhm, Mhm."
Zhu Zhuqing was very decisive and left straight away.
After dealing with that matter, Ye Feng entered Du Gubo's room.
"Old Poison, are you feeling any better now?"
Du Gubo had been seriously injured, and last night he almost died. Fortunately, Ye Feng had studied medical books that were a reward from the System.
And it was only by using quite a few Ten Thousand Year Immortal Grasses that he successfully saved Du Gubo's life!
The main reason was that he couldn't bear to lose him so soon.
His sect had only just been established.
If this guy were to go cold, he feared that the hard-to-come-by Soul Sage and Soul Emperor might create chaos!
Of course, Ye Feng could naturally suppress them himself.
But Ye Feng couldn't possibly have time to do that every day, could he?
"You, Old Flayer, just to get me to work for you for ten years, you forcefully dragged me back from death's door. I don't know whether to praise your excellent medical skills or decry your overzealous stinginess! You wouldn't even let me die!"
At this moment, Du Gubo's complexion had obviously improved a lot.
"What ten years? Isn't it for a lifetime??"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng showed a very surprised look.
"?????"
Du Gubo was full of question marks.
"Last night, in your dazed state, you said that as long as I save you, you would exhaust your life and die thereafter for Green Peak Tower— a lifetime of service would be no issue. How could you forget when you woke up?"
Ye Feng seemed very confounded.
"Don't scare me, Old Flayer. When did I ever say such a thing!!"
Du Gubo was flabbergasted!!
He remembered he had never said anything like that at all!!
"Look."
Ye Feng took out a written pledge.
"Pff—"
The next second, Du Gubo spat out a mouthful of old blood!!
"The deepest and most toxic of blood has finally come out."
Seeing the deep-red blood, Ye Feng put away the written pledge.
It was mainly because Du Gubo's chest had completely collapsed.
His internal organs were severely damaged.
So, he couldn't use the conventional methods to expel the blood.
He had to make Du Gubo do it himself.
"You, you!!"
Upon hearing this, Du Gubo was breathless!!
He was a patient right now, and here the other party was, using a fake pledge to provoke him so as to cleanse the toxic blood within his body. Only this old flayer could do such an inhumane thing!
"What's the matter? You don't think this written pledge is fake, do you? See here, the handwriting and this handprint, aren't they yours, Old Poison?"
Ye Feng displayed the pledge in front of Du Gubo.
"Pff—"
Another mouthful of dirty blood sprayed out!!
Du Gubo lay on the bed.
Out of breath.
As if his body was hollowed out.
"Instructor Feng, what's wrong with Grandpa!!"
Just at that moment, Dugu Yan walked in with a bucket of hot water.
"It's nothing, he's just a bit weak from just waking up."
Ye Feng explained.
"????"
Du Gubo, lying on the bed, was breathing rapidly again, and blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.
Was this truly weakness from just waking up, or was it because of you, you bastard, who made me furious?
"Instructor Feng, Grandpa is bleeding from the mouth again!!"
Dugu Yan quickly ran to Du Gubo's side.
The dark blood was indeed a shocking sight!
"It's fine. Now that the hot water is here, it's going to be okay. Clean his face for him. After a while, let him take one of my Elixirs, and he should be mostly recovered."
Ye Feng said.
