Chapter 171: Flanders is Still the Same Flanders.
"What are you doing!?"
Saras barked a stern rebuke as soon as everyone entered, before Flanders and the others could even speak.
Saras had initially assumed it was a quarrel between Shrek's internal students. But upon arrival, he saw that it was Shenfeng and Chihuo who were arguing with the Shrek students.
"Bishop Saras, I hope you can respect yourself. This is a private matter between Shrek Academy and has nothing to do with your Spirit Hall."
The Grand Master, holding the Pope's Order, clearly didn't spare Saras's face and barked a sharp rebuke.
Saras was, after all, a Platinum Grand Master and possessed the cultivation of a Soul Douluo. But the Grand Master, despite possessing the Pope's Order, was only at the Soul Venerable level.
Therefore, Saras's expression was as sullen as could be after being reprimanded by the Grand Master. Then, ignoring Flanders' false attempts to retain him, Saras hurried away with the two cardinals without even a word to Ning Fengzhi or Gu Rong.
However, as he passed by Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, he gave them a cold glance. "Divine Wind? Blazing Fire? Humph! I advise you not to get so close to Shrek. Better leave early..."
With that, he strode off.
Meanwhile "Dad, Grandpa Gu!"
"My little princess!"
Upon seeing the figure rushing towards them, Gu Rong's seemingly skeletal face instantly broke into a smile uglier than tears. Before Ning Fengzhi could reach him, he embraced Ning Rongrong.
"Uncle Ning, Senior Gu."
Upon seeing Flender and the others approach, Xuan Mo also released his spirit possession.
Then, ignoring Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian, he walked over to Flender and the others, bowed slightly, and then came to Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, offering a slight bow as a sign of respect.
"Brother Mo."
At this moment, Tang San approached Xuan Mo.
However, when Xuan Mo saw Tang San's expression, he suddenly burst out laughing. "Xiao San, what's wrong with you? You've been treated so badly. Who did it?"
Before Tang San could reply, Liu Erlong glared at Xuan Mo with a stern expression. "What's wrong with that? I did it, Mo boy. Do you have any objections to this? Tell me!"
Xuan Mo was nearly startled by Liu Erlong's tone, and then looked bewildered, not knowing how he had managed to hold her back, having suddenly provoked such a rage.
Grandmaster's brow furrowed, and he said in a slightly stern tone, "Erlong, control your temper."
Liu Erlong turned to look at Grandmaster, her delicate body trembling slightly. Just as she was about to question him, she suddenly felt concerned about the presence of others, so she held back her words, though she didn't give Grandmaster a friendly look.
The atmosphere around them was awkward.
"Xiao San, did Teacher Erlong... take the wrong medicine?"
Xuan Mo stared at Liu Erlong. Seeing she wasn't paying attention to him, he leaned over to Tang San's ear and whispered.
Tang San spread his hands. "I don't know either. I just noticed that when Teacher Erlong took out the Pope's Order, Teacher Erlong's expression started to change, so just now..."
"So that's how it is..."
Xuan Mo heard this and immediately understood the reason. So, he had just walked into the trap.
"Brother Mo, are they...?"
Tang San now turned his attention to Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian standing nearby. His question also attracted the attention of Master and the others.
Master, taking a quick look, said their names. "You are Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian from Blazing Fire and Divine Wind."
"Huh? Teacher, you know."
"Yes."
Master nodded slightly and looked at Xuan Mo. "Xuan Mo, what exactly is going on? Why are they here?"
Seeing everyone's eyes shift to him, Xuan Mo told them the whole story.
After hearing this, Tang San was the first to frown. "It was just like that a few days ago, and I clearly haven't even seen them. Why…"
Before Tang San could finish, "Ahem!"
Xuan Mo coughed several times, interrupting his muttering, trying not to appear guilty. "Xiao San, right now isn't about that. What should we worry about?
It's about what we should do with them?" "What else can we do? We can only let them go back."
Zhao Wuji looked at Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian, a hint of impatience on his face. "You two, I'm warning you. If it weren't for the tournament, I would definitely keep you..."
"No!"
Flanders suddenly roared, shocking everyone so much that even Zhao Wuji trembled slightly.
When everyone looked over, they saw Flanders' expression, as if his mother had died, staring with heartache at the damaged area in front of the academy.
"Dean, what are you doing…"
"It's heartbreaking to see this place ruined! How many gold soul coins would it cost to buy it!" Flanders produced a handkerchief from somewhere, gritting his teeth and refusing to let go.
Then he suddenly turned around, staring at Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian, and an extremely angry voice rang out from Flender's mouth: "So I want to see which of them dares to go back like this! We agreed on a thousand gold soul coins, not a cent less!"
Xuan Mo and the others were speechless upon hearing this.
Well, it was just a small loss, only a hundred or so Gold Soul Coins.
But after Flender's words and his calculations, the Academy's losses seemed to have multiplied tenfold.
Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian were being slaughtered like fat sheep.
But ultimately, it was their own people who benefited, so the Shrek people ignored Huo Wu and the others' opinions and allowed Flender to do as he pleased. Only after slaughtering these two fat sheep, Flender, satisfied, let them leave.
But before they left, Huo Wu gave Xuan Mo a deep look, then turned and left without a word.
As for Feng Xiaotian, he didn't react much, simply saying to Tang San, "When I'm here, I'll definitely fight you in a fair fight," before running off to chase Huo Wu.
Tang San was left standing there, bewildered...
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! This little girl has a real hot temper, just like Boss Fu's Erlong sister..."
Zhao Wuji watched Huo Wu's retreating figure, glancing at Liu Erlong without leaving a trace. Noticing she hadn't noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong approached Flanders and the others, smiling, "It seems this matter is settled. There are still many things to attend to within the sect. Dean Flanders, I must be leaving first."
"Ah! Dad, are you leaving now?"
Ning Fengzhi patted Ning Rongrong's head. "I'm not as carefree as you. I have many things to attend to. You go ahead. I have something to discuss with your Dean."
"Alright then..."
Ning Rongrong knew Ning Fengzhi didn't want her to know, so she obediently walked over to Xuan Mo and the others.
After Ning Rongrong left, Ning Fengzhi looked at Grandmaster, as if about to ask something, but ultimately stopped himself.
"Dean Flanders, if there's really no one else to compete in the next few days, just give up and give the organizing committee a way out."
"Don't worry about this, Sect Leader Ning. Most of the little devils are injured. The only ones who can compete are those who are in good condition or have recovered."
"Well, Feng Zhi is taking his leave..."
