While Ye Qiu was strolling around with Xue Ke,
at Shrek Academy,
Flander had already separated Dai Mubai and the other two, bringing them back along with his disciple Ma Hongjun.
Tang San and the others were still unconscious.
Their appearance shocked Oscar. Although Flander had separated them, the nauseating aura still made Oscar frown.
A sense of fear rose within him for Ye Qiu; he hadn't expected him to go to such lengths.
"Flander, what happened to Tang San and the others?!" Zhao Wuji, who had arrived, stared in shock at the scene. All four were ragged and covered in blood.
It was a truly pitiful sight.
"Sigh, I don't know either," Flander said gravely, looking at the four paralyzed figures, unable to bear the sight.
He already had very little money, and the medical expenses for these four were adding insult to injury for the entire Shrek Academy.
Of the four, Ma Hongjun was the least injured compared to Dai Mubai and the other two.
Tang San was seriously injured, and Flander was also somewhat afraid that Tang Hao would attack again. The only thing that made Flander feel fortunate was that Tang San had only committed the act of betraying his master and hadn't suffered much harm himself.
In this battle, his good brother Yu Xiaogang was attacked from both sides, and was ambushed by Tang San while attacking Dai Mubai. He didn't know if Yu Xiaogang could recover from this blow.
What worried him the most was Dai Mubai. Not only did he not find his murder weapon, but he was also rear-ended by Yu Xiaogang in the battle, resulting in a tragedy.
Flander sighed and could only wait for Tang San and the others to wake up before making any plans.
"Don't ask any more questions. Xiao Ao, quickly give them some sausages, and then we'll help them clean up."
"Understood, Dean!" Oscar nodded and immediately began chanting a soul incantation to make sausages.
"Wuji, go and call Shaoxin and the others over too!" Flander pulled out his empty purse, heartbroken.
"Okay, I'll go right now!" Zhao Wuji replied and quickly ran outside.
Flander had considered borrowing money from Ning Rongrong, but she was, after all, a student, and the three girls seemed to treat Shrek Academy like a hotel.
Besides, he had his own pride and principles; otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged Zhao Wuji and the others into Shrek Academy.
...
Noon.
After resting briefly at Yuexuan, Ye Qiu bid farewell to Tang Yuehua.
His next plan was to have lunch with Ning Rongrong and the others.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu possessed the Divine Might Soul Skill; otherwise, he wouldn't have the means to become a master of time management.
The three girls were chatting.
"Xiao Qiu~"
As soon as she saw Ye Qiu, Xiao Wu, as always, jumped onto him.
"Ye Qiu, what happened to those guys? Why was that bear so angry?" Ning Rongrong sidled up to him, looking at him curiously.
"Oh?" Ye Qiu paused for a moment.
He immediately realized that Flander and the others must have found out about Tang San and the others' ordeal.
"Ye Qiu, Teacher Zhao just asked us to inform you to come over." Zhu Zhuqing also got up and came to Ye Qiu's side, her expression revealing a hint of worry.
"Haha, Zhuqing, don't worry, it's nothing serious!" Ye Qiu smiled casually and pulled Zhu Zhuqing to sit down.
"That's right! It's nothing serious, we're not afraid of them!"
Ning Rongrong didn't care either; with her status, even killing them wouldn't have much of an impact.
"Yeah, Rongrong is right!" Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly; she rarely knew what fear was.
Suddenly, Zhao Wuji's roar echoed outside the dormitory.
"Ye Qiu, get out here!"
In the open space outside the dormitory, Zhao Wuji and Flander had been standing there for a long time, their expressions grim.

Ma Hongjun had already woken up, and they now knew who was responsible for all of this.
"Ye Qiu~" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him worriedly.
It wasn't so much worry as guilt and remorse; she felt she was the one who had caused all this trouble.
"It's alright!"
Ye Qiu simply gave her a reassuring look and gently patted her rapidly beating heart.
"Xiao Wu, wait for me a moment, it'll be over soon!"
"Okay!" Xiao Wu nodded obediently, knelt on the bed, and gently kissed him.
Ye Qiu got up, opened the door, and went out.
Two sharp, imposing gazes immediately fell upon Ye Qiu.
Under their watchful eyes, Ye Qiu slowly approached them.
He greeted them calmly, "Dean Flander, Vice Dean Zhao, hello!"
Flander remained silent, while Zhao Wuji glared angrily.
"Ye Qiu, do you know what you've done?"
Zhao Wuji's soul power surged, clearly showing his impatience. How could he not be furious that his students, whom he had taught for so many years, had suddenly suffered such a calamity?
"Yeah, just taught a few flies who were harassing my woman a lesson." Ye Qiu nodded nonchalantly.
"You bastards! Do you know who they are?!" Zhao Wuji roared, his spirit rings almost flashing.
Flander gently patted Zhao Wuji's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
He adjusted his glasses, frowned at Ye Qiu, and said,
"Your woman? As far as I know, Zhu Zhuqing is Mu Bai's fiancée, right?"
Flander had turned a blind eye to Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai harassing Zhu Zhuqing precisely because he knew this.
"She's not anymore!" Ye Qiu said calmly, chuckled, and added, "And she never will be!"
"You're asking for it!"
"Wuji, stop!"
Flander pinned Zhao Wuji down as he was about to attack.
Four eyes peered through the slightly ajar window of the three girls' dormitory; a young lady was watching them from there!
He knew very well that these students' severe injuries were already a dereliction of duty on his part. If he offended the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as well, things would become even more complicated if they were investigated.
"Dean Flander, I actually know their identities!"
"Since you know their identities, why did you use such force!"
Flander looked at Ye Qiu in confusion. How could he be so calm? This involved an empire and two of the three upper sects!
"Did I use force?" Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, his face filled with doubt, then he put on an innocent look.
"Apart from Dai Mubai, the others seem to have only suffered minor injuries, not serious injuries for a Soul Master."
"And Dai Mubai is just a useless prince, and the other two can't go home. Dean Flander doesn't need to be so nervous!"
Anger appeared on Flander's face, and his eyes twitched slightly. The injuries on their bodies were indeed as described.
"Heh." Flander gave a cold, forced smile. "Even if you're right, as the dean, I have a duty to protect my students! I also have a responsibility to seek justice for them!"
"Then what does Dean Flander intend to do?" Ye Qiu stood calmly in place, looking at him with confusion.
Flander clenched his fist tightly, then slowly relaxed it, closed his eyes, and sighed deeply.
"…"
Ye Qiu looked at Flander's outstretched hand with a strange expression, then felt a sense of relief.
