While Ye Qiu was wandering around with Xue Ke.
At Shrek Academy.
Flender had already separated Dai Mubai and the other two who were stuck together, bringing them back along with his disciple Ma Hongjun.
At this moment, Tang San and the others were still unconscious.
Their appearance shocked Oscar. Although they had already been separated by Flender, that disgusting aura still made Oscar frown.
A hint of fear rose in his heart towards Ye Qiu; he hadn't expected him to go to such lengths.
"Flender, what in the world happened to Tang San and the others?!" Zhao Wuji, who had rushed over, looked at the scene in shock. All four of them were in rags and covered in blood.
The word 'miserable' (miserable) couldn't even begin to describe it.
"Alas, I don't know either," Flender said with a solemn expression, unable to bear looking at the four slumped figures.
He already didn't have much money, and now the treatment costs for these few people made the entire Shrek Academy even worse off.
Among the four, Ma Hongjun was the least injured compared to Dai Mubai and the other two.
Tang San was severely injured, and Flender was somewhat afraid that Tang Hao would attack again. The only thing Flender was fortunate about was probably that Tang San only acted like a traitor to his master, and he himself didn't suffer much harm.
And in this battle, his good brother Yu Xiaogang was attacked from both sides, being ambushed by Tang San while attacking Dai Mubai. He didn't know if he could recover from this blow.
What worried him most was Dai Mubai. Not only was his 'tool' not found, but he was also rear-ended by Yu Xiaogang during the battle, leading to a tragedy.
Flender sighed, he could only wait for Tang San and the others to wake up before making any plans.
"Don't ask yet, Little Ao, quickly give them some Sausage first, then we'll help them clean up."
"Understood, Dean!" Oscar nodded and immediately chanted his Spirit Incantation, beginning to make Sausage.
"Wuji, go call Shaoxin and the others over too!" Flender pulled out his shriveled money pouch, heartbroken.
"Okay, I'll go now!" Zhao Wuji responded and quickly ran out.
Flender hadn't thought about borrowing money from Ning Rongrong, but she was a student after all, and the three girls seemed to treat Shrek like a hotel.
Moreover, he had his own pride and persistence, otherwise he wouldn't have holed up in Shrek with Zhao Wuji and the others.
...
Noon.
After a brief rest at Moon Pavilion, Ye Qiu bid farewell to Tang Yuehua.
His next schedule should be having lunch with Ning Rongrong and the others.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu had the Spirit Ability Kamui, otherwise he wouldn't have the conditions to be a time management master.
The three girls gathered together were chatting about something.
"Xiao Qiu~"
As soon as she saw Ye Qiu, Xiao Wu, as always, immediately jumped onto him.
"I say, Ye Qiu, what exactly did you do to those guys? Why was that bear so angry?" Ning Rongrong also leaned in, looking at Ye Qiu curiously.
"Oh?" Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment.
He immediately realized that Flender and the others must have already learned about what happened to Tang San and the others.
"Ye Qiu, Teacher Zhao just told us to inform you to come over," Zhu Zhuqing also got up and came to Ye Qiu's side, a hint of worry in her expression.
"Haha... Zhuqing, don't worry, it's nothing big!" Ye Qiu smiled casually, reaching out and pulling Zhu Zhuqing down to sit.
"That's right! It's nothing big, we're not afraid of them!"
Ning Rongrong also didn't take it seriously. With her status, even killing them wouldn't have much impact.
"Mmm, Rongrong is right!" Xiao Wu also nodded repeatedly. She rarely knew what fear was.
Suddenly, outside the dormitory, Zhao Wuji's roar sounded.
"Ye Qiu, get out here!"
In the open space outside the dormitory, Zhao Wuji and Flender had been standing there for a long time, their expressions grim.
Ma Hongjun had already woken up, and they knew the culprit behind all this.
"Ye Qiu~" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him worriedly.
Rather than worry, it was more like guilt and apology; she felt that all this trouble was brought by her.
"It's nothing!"
But Ye Qiu only gave her a reassuring look, gently patting her constantly thumping little heart.
"Xiao Wu, wait for me a moment, it'll be over soon!"
"Mmm, got it!" Xiao Wu nodded obediently, kneeling on the bed and gently kissing him.
Ye Qiu got up, opened the door, and walked out.
Two sharp, pressing gazes immediately fell upon Ye Qiu.
Under their gaze, Ye Qiu slowly approached them.
He greeted them indifferently: "Dean Flender, Vice Dean Zhao, hello!"
Flender didn't speak, while Zhao Wuji glared angrily.
"Ye Qiu, do you know what you've done?"
Zhao Wuji's spirit power surged, clearly indicating his impatience. His students, whom he had taught for many years, had suddenly suffered such a calamity. How could he not be angry?
"Mmm, just taught a lesson to a few pesky flies harassing my women," Ye Qiu said, nodding indifferently.
"Bastard! Do you know their identities?!" Zhao Wuji roared, his spirit rings beneath him almost beginning to glow.
Flender gently patted Zhao Wuji's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
He poked his glasses and looked at Ye Qiu, frowning as he said:
"Your women? As far as I know... Zhu Zhuqing is Dai Mubai's fiancée, isn't she?"
It was precisely because Flender knew this that he turned a blind eye to Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai harassing Zhu Zhuqing.
"Not anymore!" Ye Qiu said lightly, then chuckled, adding, "And it's impossible for her to be again!"
"You're courting death, kid!"
"Wuji, stop!"
Flender held back Zhao Wuji, who was about to make a move.
Their four eyes looked towards the slightly open window of the three girls' dormitory; there was a young lady watching them!
He was well aware that his students being so severely injured was already his dereliction of duty. If he were to offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it would be even harder to deal with if they pursued the matter.
"Dean Flender, actually, I also know their identities!"
"Since you know their identities, why did you strike so heavily?!"
Flender looked at Ye Qiu in confusion. How could he be so calm? This involved an Empire and two of the Upper Three Sects!
"Did I strike heavily?" Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion, then he looked innocent.
"Except for Dai Mubai, the others seem to have only suffered broken bones and strained muscles. For Spirit Masters, it's not a severe injury."
"And Dai Mubai is just a disposable, useless prince. The other two also have nowhere to return home to, Dean Flender, there's no need to be too nervous!"
Flender's face showed anger, his eye twitching slightly. The physical injuries were indeed as described.
"Hehe..." Flender let out a cold, forced laugh. "Even if what you say is true... But as the Dean, I have a duty to protect my students! And I have a responsibility to seek justice for them!"
"Then, I wonder what Dean Flender intends to do?" Ye Qiu stood calmly in place, looking at him in confusion.
Flender tightly clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.
...
Ye Qiu looked strangely at Flender's hand reaching out to him, his expression somewhat complex, then he was relieved.
