Time passed quickly.On this day, the weather was sunny and clear, without a single cloud.
In the blink of an eye, the time had come to go to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and meet up with Qin Ming.
The land Shrek Academy occupied had been bought by Flander back then,and there was nothing valuable here.
None of the teachers opposed going to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Under Flander's orders,everyone packed up, prepared to depart,and headed toward Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Standing at the academy gate, Flander looked at the somewhat dilapidated plaque engraved with the words "Shrek Academy." For a moment, his heart was full of mixed emotions.
Twenty years. How many twenty years does a person have?
All the bits and pieces of memories he had here flowed through his mind, a sour feeling rising at the tip of his nose.
"We're leaving."
Flander sighed. He almost couldn't hold back tears.Zhao Wuji put his arm around Flander's shoulder, "Stop looking. Let's go."
"It's not like we won't come back."
"At worst, I'll accompany you back here to retire."
Flander sighed.
It wasn't that he feared not being able to return—
He mainly feared that if he no longer ran the academy, he wouldn't be able to scam new students and scam money anymore.
He glared at Zhao Wuji. "Do I look that old?"
Zhao Wuji forced a laugh:
"Not old. We're only fifty, not too old yet.
But we're quite strange, aren't we?
Not a single one of us is married."
Flander snorted, "That's because your standards are too high. Female Soul Masters aren't that easy to find."
"Don't you know female Soul Masters only make up one-tenth of all Soul Masters?"
"Then what about you? Aren't your standards high? Why don't you have a wife?"
Zhao Wuji retorted.
"Me? I…"
Flander froze, unable to speak.
After all these years, half a lifetime,who doesn't have someone they've liked?
"Let's go."
Flander steadied his emotions and gave the command to depart. Over a dozen people set off, leaving Shrek.
And just as they left,the already shaky academy sign finally failed to hold,falling to the ground with a bang.But that fall knocked off decades' worth of dust, revealing a brighter, cleaner surface.
Heaven Dou Empire's imperial city, Heaven Dou City,located in the northeastern-central region, was the political heart of the empireand one of the two largest cities on the continent—only Star Luo Empire's capital could rival it.
Everyone had Storage Soul Guidance Devicesfilled with food and water,so they did not have to worry about supplies.
Flander led everyone toward Heaven Dou City at high speed.In one day they covered three to four hundred kilometers.On the second day, their speed noticeably slowed.
By nightfall, they arrived at the capital of Silves Kingdom in the south—Silves City.
Shockingly, Flander chose this large city as their stop.
And they entered the city exactly when dusk fell—as if arranged on purpose.
Flander paid for everyone to stay in an expensive hoteland even treated them to an extraordinarily luxurious dinner.
Only Ye Fan knew what this guy was planning.
But today, Flander's plan wouldn't go as the original plot.
After three rounds of drinks and five dishes finished,Flander revealed his purpose:
"You all haven't had real combat in two months."
"This Silves City has a Great Spirit Arena. Tonight, go loosen up a bit."
Dai Mubai smiled at Flander showing his fox tail.
"Dean, then the rewards we earn in battle—"
"Should we hand them to the academy?"
Flander righteously declared,"The academy is closed, but as your dean, do you think I'd take advantage of you?"
"All earnings are yours. Nothing to do with us."
"Mubai, could you be doubting my intentions?"
He didn't care about pocket money.He wanted to gamble.With Ye Fan here, losing was impossible.
He planned to bet everything and make a huge fortune.
But when they arrived at the Silves Great Spirit Arena to register—Flander froze.
They couldn't register.
Ye Ying (Ye Fan) had kept winning and already achieved the Gold Spirit Badge.Correspondingly, the Shrek Seven Devils were also a Gold Spirit team.There was no rank-30 Gold Spirit team here.
To sign up, they'd have to fight higher rank—minimum rank 40 opponents.
"Sigh."
Flander let out a long sigh.
"Forget it."
They might not lose—Ye Ying alone could slaughter the enemy —but the others were still only Soul Masters.
A mistake could mean huge losses.They could not afford that.
Seeing Flander's plans shatter,Zhao Wuji and the others secretly laughed.
The next morning,they left again.All the way, Flander was silent, obviously unhappy.He didn't earn money — he spent money instead.
Mid-route, he didn't dare think about side earnings again.
Several days later,they reached the south gate of Heaven Dou City.
They first needed to meet Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.The group entered through the south gate.They still had time to rest.
After being anxious for some time, Yu Xiaogang finally relaxed.He realized no one outside seemed to be after him.
No wanted posters,no Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members searching for him.He began going out normally again.
Since the clan wasn't chasing him,
his only worry left was facing Yu Tianheng.
"Wife, we should go meet the dean and others."
"We agreed to meet at dusk at Heaven Dou City's south gate."
Tang San packed simply.
"Alright, let's go out."
The two checked out of the hotel.Yu Xiaogang hadn't walked the streets in a while.His anxiety returned, hesitating at the entrance.
"Let's go."
Tang San dragged Yu Xiaogang toward the south gate.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Flander's group waiting.
"Xiaogang, here!"
Flander waved.
As they approached,Flander asked confusedly,"Where's Yu Tianheng?"
"Weren't you together?"
Yu Xiaogang gave an awkward smile,"I wasn't comfortable at Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so I came to Heaven Dou City first."
Ye Fan spoke faintly,"Master, you didn't steal something from your clan and run, right?"
