"The clan won't hold me accountable for what I did?"
Although Yu Xiaogang had already guessed as much, he still couldn't quite believe it.
Yu Tianheng nodded heavily.
"Uncle, don't worry. My father and grandfather have already suppressed the matter,"
"But as for what the rest of the clan will think afterward—that, I can't say."
Yu Xiaogang sighed inwardly. Your grandfather and father are grateful to you; how could they possibly blame you?
No matter how precious a spirit bone is, it can't compare to the continuation of the clan.
But it seemed his uncle didn't know that the gold soul coin card was actually full of debt. If he ever found out, what kind of expression would he make?
Flender sighed toward Meng Shenji.
"I didn't expect that our visit this time would bring such trouble to the three of you. I, Flender, feel ashamed."
"Since the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy doesn't wish to keep us, how could we beg to stay?"
"Even if we leave today, peace will likely elude us afterward."
"Three seniors, we'll take our leave here. Someday, I will come visit again."
The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was good, but not a place they could linger in any longer.
"Dean Flender!" Meng Shenji called out anxiously.
Flender didn't turn back, leading the Shrek group away with large strides.
Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo were clearly seen by Ye Fan and the others.
Likewise, Dugu Yan also saw Ye Fan and his group. When her gaze landed on Ye Fan, her expression clearly changed. She wrapped her arms around Dugu Bo's neck and whispered something into his ear.
Dugu Bo glanced toward Ye Fan, his lips moving slightly,
as if responding to Dugu Yan's words. Dugu Yan's face then revealed a faint smile, snuggling coquettishly into Dugu Bo's embrace.
Qin Ming clenched his fists tightly.
"Three Commissioners, I'm sorry,"
"I think…I'll be leaving the academy as well."
The three Commissioners weren't surprised when Flender's group left.
But when Qin Ming said he was leaving, they were all shocked. For someone so young to already have reached Spirit Emperor rank—he was destined to become a Titled Douluo in the future.
Meng Shenji hurriedly stepped forward to block his path.
"Teacher Qin, how can this be?"
"Let's discuss this matter carefully first."
"Today's injustice—we'll report it to His Majesty and ask him to uphold fairness."
Qin Ming shook his head.
"My teacher was humiliated here, and I, his student, could do nothing. What face do I have left to stay?"
"Qin Ming's decision is made!"
"Three seniors, farewell for now,"
"If fate allows, I will come visit again someday!"
Without giving the three Commissioners a chance to stop him, he surged his spirit power and disappeared in a flash, following after the departing Shrek group.
During their descent from the mountain, no one from Shrek Academy spoke a word. Qin Ming soon caught up, silently following behind Flender, but his dark expression said enough—his mood was foul beyond words.
After descending, they once again saw the clear lake at the mountain's foot, yet none of them were in any mood to appreciate its beauty.
Zhao Wuji asked, "So what should we do now?"
Ning Rongrong said, "Why not come to my family's castle? It's not far from here—our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is nearby."
Flender shook his head. "Forget it. I don't want to feel like we're living under someone else's roof again. Rongrong, thank you for the offer."
He looked toward the other teachers. "Let's go. We'll first find a place to settle in Heaven Dou City."
Heaven Dou City wasn't far from the academy. The group, still weighed down by frustration, walked for only a short time before they arrived again at the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
When the Shrek group reached the city gates, just as they were about to enter, they noticed a large notice posted on the bulletin board beside the gate.
"Hiring Notice — Due to expansion, the Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy is now hiring: ten Spirit Ancestors (level 40 and above)."
"Higher spirit power preferred. Once accepted, generous treatment guaranteed."
Flender was surprised upon seeing this message.
"This academy even advertises on the city gate bulletin board? That must cost a fortune!"
His mood had already begun to recover, and his miserly nature reemerged.
Qin Ming, most familiar with Heaven Dou City, explained,
"Any advanced spirit master academy that can operate inside Heaven Dou City must have some background."
"As for this Blue Tyrant Academy's background, I don't know much."
"But during the last Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament's Heaven Dou regional qualifiers, this very academy eliminated one of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's two participating teams."
"However, those students from the Blue Tyrant Academy have probably graduated by now."
"This year, the Heaven Dou Academy's Emperor Team is far stronger than before."
"So I'd say Blue Tyrant Academy doesn't stand much of a chance this time."
Flender asked, "What's the scale of this Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Qin Ming replied, "Roughly one-third the size of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."
"Although it's smaller, its expenses won't be any less, being located in Heaven Dou City."
"It just lacks royal backing."
"I've heard their teaching is very strict, and they have one unique rule— they only accept commoner students and refuse all nobles."
"If they had no backing at all, there's no way they could have a foothold in Heaven Dou City."
Flender's eyes gleamed with a hint of revenge. "Who said Blue Tyrant Academy doesn't have the power to compete with Heaven Dou Imperial Academy in this year's tournament?"
"They soon will."
Qin Ming was stunned. "Dean, you mean…"
Flender snorted coldly. "To not repay today's humiliation isn't my style. What do you all say?"
Zhao Wuji chuckled. "You're the boss—you decide. Why even ask us?"
All the students agreed in unison,
"Everything depends on the Dean's decision."
Under Qin Ming's guidance, the group quickly arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy and expressed their intentions.
When the academy's teacher, Yin Shu, learned that aside from Yu Xiaogang, every one of the visitors was at least at the Spirit Emperor level,
she could only lead them deep into the academy to meet with the Dean for a decision.
Following Yin Shu's lead, the group walked step by step through the forested area deep within Blue Tyrant Academy.
After about ten minutes, while they moved through the fresh, tranquil woods, a faint, ethereal singing voice drifted toward them from ahead.
When the song reached their ears, Flender's expression turned slightly strange,
while tears were already streaming down Yu Xiaogang's face.
Tang San was astonished to see the tears on Yu Xiaogang's cheeks. Wife, what's going on? Why cry over a song?
Yu Xiaogang immediately wanted to turn and flee, but Flender grabbed him firmly.
"Xiaogang, still trying to run away?"
"Some things are better said face to face!"
As he spoke,
Flender gave Tang San a meaningful look—after all, he was one of the few who knew the true relationship between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San was utterly confused. What's going on now?
