43: Flanders' Relief
At this time, Yu Xiaogang was gambling, gambling that Flander would not abandon the feelings they had shared for so many years.
After all, Yu Xiaogang had already lost Kun. If he were to lose Tang San, the one who could make him famous, he absolutely could not accept it.
Flander burst into laughter upon hearing this, as if mocking himself for never truly understanding Yu Xiaogang all these years.
It was also as if he was laughing at everything he had done for Yu Xiaogang over the past six months, always siding with him in every conflict. This outcome completely chilled Flander's heart.
"Then pack up tomorrow morning and leave with your two disciples."
After saying this, Flander seemed to have aged several years. He slowly left with Zhao Wuji.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but curl his lips upwards. After all, this useless Grandmaster and Tang San were finally driven away, which was like removing a thorn from his heart.
When Tang San saw Dai Mubai smiling, he almost wanted to kill him. However, first, he was holding Xiao Wu in his arms.
Second, if he were to use Hidden Weapons to forcibly kill Dai Mubai, it would be fine if he were alone, but Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang were by his side. Therefore, Tang San could only lower his head, grit his teeth, and swear inwardly with bloodshot eyes to kill the five people in front of him.
And Yu Xiaogang, upon hearing Flander tell him to leave, felt as if he had been struck by lightning, standing rooted to the spot.
Coming back to his senses, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and swallowed this helplessness and what he perceived as humiliation. Looking at Flander's retreating back, he started spouting harsh words.
"Flander, when my disciple's achievements reach the peak in the future, don't come looking for me!"
Hearing this, Flander's steps paused. He shook his head with a bitter smile, realizing that things had indeed changed long ago. It was just that he hadn't seen it clearly. Then, Flander pulled back the somewhat agitated Zhao Wuji and sighed, as if everything had been said, and yet nothing had been said.
Zhao Wuji looked at Flander at this moment, clenched his fists, then relaxed them. Finally, after opening his mouth for a long time, he still chose to say nothing and left together.
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun's eyes flickered with flames, as if the ultimate fire in his hands was about to erupt in the next moment.
Dai Mubai pulled back Ma Hongjun, who was about to step forward, and shook his head. This was not the time to deal with the three of them, so he naturally wouldn't let Ma Hongjun act rashly.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun turned away, choosing not to look at the three. However, his trembling shoulders still showed the anger in his heart.
Yu Xiaogang's first reaction when he saw Ma Hongjun intending to charge forward was to retreat. Then, when he saw Dai Mubai pulling back Ma Hongjun, his first reaction was surprisingly relief.
Then, feeling deeply insulted, Yu Xiaogang left with a sentence.
"Xiao San, pack up."
It was as if Yu Xiaogang couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to leave that very night, or perhaps he was afraid of what the agitated Ma Hongjun might do next.
Tang San, seeing his teacher suffer such humiliation, also clenched his teeth and looked at the five people. The expression on each face seemed to be mockery, disgust, or mixed with hatred.
In Tang San's eyes, these were the naked taunts of petty people after achieving their goal. At this moment, a seed of darkness was quietly planted in Tang San's heart, waiting for the day it would take root, sprout, and fully grow.
Tang San picked up Xiao Wu and, after he and Yu Xiaogang packed up, they completely left Shrek Academy.
After Xiao Wu, who had been detoxified by Tang San and woken up halfway, learned everything, she couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation. After another round of verbal attacks on everyone at Shrek Academy with Tang San, she felt better.
Tang San also added Flander and Zhao Wuji to his list of people to be killed. After all, Flander and Zhao Wuji were his teacher's former friends, and he felt that not helping his teacher in this situation was simply betrayal.
Then, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was also suppressing his anger, and spoke.
"Teacher, where do we go next? Should we still participate in this All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition?"
"Of course we should participate! We will win the championship and slap their faces hard! Let's go... let's go to Blue Tyrant Academy."
Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang naturally stated with conviction that they must participate. Then, in helplessness, he chose to go to Blue Tyrant Academy.
How could Yu Xiaogang not know where Liu Erlong, his former lover, was currently located?
It was simply that he didn't want to face her actively. In the original story, it was only after Liu Erlong gave him face repeatedly that he chose to confront her.
But in the current situation, there was no one who could help Yu Xiaogang by proactively speaking up for him.
Therefore, for the sake of his future fame relying on Tang San, Yu Xiaogang could only choose to actively face Liu Erlong himself.
Tang San also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Looking back in the direction of Shrek Academy, he took out his King of Hell's Summons and couldn't help but coldly murmur.
"You got away this time. At the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition, I will let you truly experience the power of the King of Hell's Summons."
Inside Shrek Academy
"Dai Laoda, why did you stop me just now? He said that about the Dean, I..."
Ma Hongjun's angry questioning had just begun when Oscar placed both hands on Ma Hongjun's shoulders, looked at his somewhat bloodshot eyes, and started a soul-piercing barrage of questions.
"Do you want the Dean to lose all his dignity? The Dean was already sad enough just now, do you want to make him feel utterly humiliated again? After seeing that old waste for what he is, how is the Dean supposed to face us? Let them three scurry away in shame, it's giving the Dean some dignity!"
After Oscar finished speaking, Ma Hongjun regained some sense. He looked at Dai Mubai, lowered his head, admitted his mistake, and then rushed out to find Flander.
Seeing this, Oscar was about to follow, but Dai Mubai sighed and finally spoke.
"At this time, it's better for Fatty to go. He already knows what he needs to do."
Hearing this, Oscar also stopped his idea of chasing after him and went out for a walk with Ning Rongrong.
At this moment, only Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were left in the room. Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai, who was exhaling a long breath.
Knowing that Dai Mubai was probably a bit tired at the moment, she proactively hugged him and gently comforted him in his arms.
"The matter is resolved now, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
What Dai Mubai, being hugged, was thinking about was when would be the right time to make a move on those three. Pushing those thoughts aside for now, he also hummed in response to Zhu Zhuqing.
After a moment of tenderness, Dai Mubai contacted Dugu Bo the next day to help find a location for an academy.
After all, the current location was indeed a bit inconvenient for everyone participating in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition.
Dugu Bo readily agreed and found a new location for everyone within half a month, even having it renovated.
Then, upon hearing this news, everyone went to Soto City to celebrate. As the celebration was nearing its end, Flander and Dai Mubai tacitly left the gathering for a short while.
"Mu Bai, I'm sorry that I was blind to people over the past six months and caused you to suffer."
As soon as Flander saw Dai Mubai come out, he said without hesitation the words he had kept in his heart.
As he finished speaking, Flander felt a weight lifted from his heart.
"If you live this long and don't encounter a few scoundrels, wouldn't your life, Dean, be too smooth?"
Dai Mubai looked at the relieved Flander, smiled, and raised his glass.
After hearing this, Flander also smiled and raised his glass, drinking it down.
At this moment, the slightly drunk Ma Hongjun ran out, grabbed Flander's arm, and told him to go back.
"Teacher, hurry back! We need to settle the bill early! I ordered all the most expensive dishes, hahaha."
Seeing this, Flander walked back with Ma Hongjun, laughing and scolding him at the same time.
"You brat, don't you know how to save your teacher some money!"
Dai Mubai smiled as he watched the two go in. Looking at the wine in his glass, he couldn't help but murmur.
"The matters that needed resolving are now resolved. Next time we meet, I should send you father and son on your way obediently."
When the Shrek group completely moved to Tiandou City, Dugu Bo and his granddaughter also came. As Dugu Bo was leaving, he looked at Dai Mubai and said with a smile.
"Xiao Bai, if my granddaughter suffers even a little bit of grievance here, I will give your teacher three good beatings."
Upon hearing this, Flander and Zhao Wuji couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Another Title Douluo's threat?
Dugu Yan saw this and shook her head with a smile, then spoke softly.
"Don't worry, Grandfather is joking. He was like this when I was studying at Tiandou Royal Academy."
Only then did Flander and Zhao Wuji look at Dugu Yan with grateful eyes.
"Mu Bai, I'm still missing one person to participate in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition. Where should I find them?"
Although Flander was happy to have another talented Soul Master arrive, he was still worried about the competition.
"No need, someone else will come."
Dai Mubai said this with certainty.
Beneath the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest
Gu Yuena looked at the letter in her hand from a few days ago. She slowly transformed into human form and instructed Di Tian.
"Di Tian, tell the others that they can come over these next few days. Don't they want to hear the follow-up plan? It's time for them to listen carefully to Gengjin's plan, otherwise they always have some restless ideas."
