Chapter 562 Yu Xiaogang's Mysterious Confidence
"The real master?"
Flander and Yu Xiaogang were both stunned, but quickly recovered and turned their gazes to Ye Qifeng, who sat next to Liu Erlong with a gentle smile and a calm expression. "Could it be him?"
Just as they had guessed, without Liu Erlong needing to say anything more, Ye Qifeng, who was sitting next to her, nodded in affirmation:
"That's right, I am the true master of Blue Tyrant Academy."
At this point, Ye Qifeng stopped being polite to Liu Erlong.
Originally, Blue Tyrant Academy was created to fulfill Liu Erlong's wish and was a gift to her. However, in order to deal with Flander and Yu Xiaogang, he decided to take on the responsibility for the time being.
With a smile on his face, Ye Qifeng subtly changed the subject, speaking in a calm and composed tone:
"Of course, I am not the only master of Blue Tyrant Academy. Sister Erlong is also one of them. In addition to the two of us, Blue Tyrant Academy has another master, but he is not here right now."
"In conclusion, there are actually three owners of Blue Tyrant Academy. However, I personally invested more and have the largest share, so I naturally have the most say. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am the true owner of Blue Tyrant Academy."
"So, you can talk to me about anything that's related to Blue Tyrant Academy."
After speaking, Ye Qifeng raised his eyelids and glanced at Flander and Yu Xiaogang, who were clearly stunned, and smiled slightly, saying meaningfully:
"I heard from Sister Erlong that you seem to have some ideas about Blue Tyrant Academy? What exactly are they? Why don't you tell me?"
Hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Flander and Yu Xiaogang snapped out of their daze and subconsciously exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes.
The appearance of Ye Qifeng caught them completely off guard, as it was entirely beyond their expectations.
They originally thought that Liu Erlong, as the dean of Lanba Academy, was the master of Lanba Academy, and that they only needed to persuade her. However, they never expected that the true master of this academy was someone else.
The unexpected turn of events, Ye Qifeng, left them momentarily speechless.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Liu Erlong saw the two old friends' hesitant expressions, as if they wanted to say something but didn't know where to begin. His feelings were complicated, and he also felt a little sorry for them, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.
Ye Qifeng, standing to the side, broke the awkward silence with a faint smile, looking at them with a half-smile and saying:
"Since you two are friends of Sister Erlong, you are naturally my friends as well. Just speak your mind; there's no need to feel embarrassed."
Yu Xiaogang remained silent, his face as sour as ever, and it seemed even uglier than before.
After his initial embarrassment, Flander's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at Yu Xiaogang beside him and, seeing that Yu Xiaogang didn't seem willing to speak, thought for a moment and realized that he would have to handle the negotiations himself.
Flander sighed inwardly, then straightened his expression, trying to appear more composed, and forced a smile that he thought was gentle but actually looked cunning:
"Ah, is that so?"
Flander quickly recounted the purpose of his visit, but he didn't go into detail, for example, he didn't mention the requests that Yu Xiaogang had made.
He was afraid that if he spoke up, it would provoke the young man on the other side to get angry and kick them out.
After all, the other party was neither Liu Erlong nor their old friend, and might not be easy to talk to.
Although the other party is Liu Erlong's younger brother, there is no connection between him and the master. It is still unknown whether they will treat them differently because of their relationship with Liu Erlong.
Flanders dared not gamble.
"Oh?" After hearing Flander's words, Ye Qifeng seemed extremely surprised and asked in return:
"So, you're saying Shrek Academy plans to separate from Heaven Dou Royal Academy after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, but since you have nowhere to go because you don't have a school address, you want to merge with our Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Flander opened his mouth, wanting to say, "Actually, I wanted Blue Tyrant Academy to be merged into Shrek Academy," but he didn't dare to speak.
After all, that was Yu Xiaogang's idea, not his.
Moreover, now that we know Blue Tyrant Academy does not belong to Liu Erlong alone, we can no longer reveal the plan we discussed with Yu Xiaogang.
But he desperately needed a place to settle the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, otherwise he really didn't know where to go.
Of course, staying with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy or merging directly into it is also a good option.
But he really couldn't stand the attitude of those aristocratic children, and the same was true of his old friends Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and Lu Qibin, who had been with him for over ten or twenty years; they were all used to being undisciplined and free.
If he stayed to teach at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he would inevitably offend someone and be plotted against sooner or later, which forced Flander to give up the idea of continuing to stay at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The Blue Tyrant Academy, founded by Liu Erlong and comprised entirely of commoner Soul Masters, was actually the most welcoming to Shrek Academy, at least for her and her old friends like Zhao Wuji.
According to Flander's own thinking, although he was somewhat reluctant, he was inclined to disband Shrek Academy and then merge it into Blue Tyrant Academy.
However, Yu Xiaogang seemed to want more, and after listening to his instigation, Flander himself also had some inappropriate thoughts—mainly wanting his Shrek Academy to continue to survive.
If things had gone smoothly, their plan would have been easy to implement; given Liu Erlong's personality, he wouldn't have even needed much persuasion.
But now an unexpected variable has emerged.
They were not facing the usually cheerful and generous Liu Erlong, but her younger brother Ye Qifeng, so their plan would not work.
Flanders didn't say anything more.
Seeing Flander lost in thought, seemingly in a daze, Ye Qifeng didn't mind that he hadn't answered his question. Instead, he continued in a mellow and magnetic male voice:
"If Shrek Academy is willing to merge with Blue Tyrant Academy, that's not impossible, but the premise is that Shrek Academy must be disbanded. I don't want Blue Tyrant Academy to have such an unreasonable phenomenon as an 'academy within an academy,' as this would disrupt the management order of Blue Tyrant Academy."
"In addition, as you know, Blue Tyrant Academy only admits commoner Soul Masters who are of commoner origin or do not have noble titles. This applies to both teachers and students."
"You and several teachers from your academy seem to be commoner Soul Masters, and your strength is quite good. Blue Tyrant Academy can accept you all. As for those students, if I may be frank, we don't want any of them."
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng say that Shrek Academy would not accept students, Flander instantly snapped out of his reverie, his face showing astonishment:
"Why? Why can't they accept them? Those kids are all exceptionally talented geniuses, little monsters! Shouldn't Blue Tyrant Academy try its best to keep such gifted students?"
Yes, they are all prodigies, the cream of the crop among the younger generation. Once they grow up, they could dominate the Soul Master world, even reigning supreme in the Douluo Realm for tens of thousands of years. Unfortunately, Ye Qifeng remained unmoved. While he acknowledged their talent, he didn't approve of their character. He simply said:
"First of all, Blue Tyrant Academy's admission rules are that it only accepts commoner Soul Masters. As for your Shrek Academy's students, I know they are called the 'Shrek Seven Devils,' right? Three of them are from noble or large family clans, so Blue Tyrant Academy naturally won't accept them."
"Secondly, with their strength, it doesn't matter whether they go to an advanced soul master academy or not. Besides, after this year's elite soul master competition ends, they will probably graduate from Shrek Academy."
"Furthermore, I don't trust the character of those students from Shrek Academy."
"I've heard that there are two brothel regulars among the Shrek Academy students, named something like 'Evil-Eyed Lustful Tiger' and 'Brothel Phoenix,' who are always seduce and harm female students. That fatso 'Brothel Phoenix' even needs women to resolve the evil fire that caused his martial soul mutation?"
At this point, Ye Qifeng gave a cold laugh:
"Heh, how could I possibly allow people like that to appear at Blue Tyrant Academy?"
"After all, the majority of students at Blue Tyrant Academy are female. I don't want any bad apples to spoil the whole bunch and disrupt the order of Blue Tyrant Academy."
"Therefore, our Blue Tyrant Academy will not accept such trash, no matter how talented they are."
As Ye Qifeng spoke, he glanced at Flander and Yu Xiaogang, whose expressions were gradually turning ugly, and a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on his lips at the right moment:
"The Shrek Seven Devils may have good talent and strength, but in my opinion, that's all they are, nothing worth paying attention to."
"Therefore, none of your Shrek Academy students will be accepted by our Blue Tyrant Academy."
At this moment, Flander's expression was incredibly varied, alternating between pale and flushed.
The Shrek Seven Devils, whom he considered treasures, were utterly worthless in Ye Qifeng's eyes; it would be strange if he looked pleased.
Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting next to Flander with a sour face and not saying a word, also looked extremely unpleasant.
Although Ye Qifeng never mentioned his disciple Tang San, the belittling and disdainful look in his eyes deeply stung him.
As a woman with a fiery temper but also upright character, Liu Erlong hated nothing more than those trashy men who wantonly played with women.
When Ye Qifeng mentioned that Shrek Academy had such trashy people as frequent brothels, his face darkened almost instantly.
The students at Blue Tyrant Academy are all her precious darlings, especially the female students. Almost every one of them came to Blue Tyrant Academy because of her charm, and they all regard her, the dean, as their idol and are all her little fans.
How could she allow such trash to harm her precious little fans?
Flander and Yu Xiaogang even wanted to bring that kind of trash into her Blue Tyrant Academy, how could she tolerate that?
Thinking about this, Liu Erlong's fiery temper almost got the better of him.
If Ye Qifeng hadn't grabbed her hand in time to stop her, she probably would have jumped out and given Flander and Yu Xiaogang two big back throws.
Despite this, Liu Erlong couldn't help but glare fiercely at Flander and Yu Xiaogang. Her angry eyes seemed to say, "You two old fools, you even tricked your old mother."
However, while Liu Erlong did not make a move, Yu Xiaogang on the other side was the first to lose his temper.
Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the coffee table in front of him with a loud bang, then glared angrily at Ye Qifeng and coldly snorted:
"Hmph, utter nonsense. How dare you comment on the Shrek Seven Devils?"
"Some of what you said may be true, but it's just a minor flaw, insignificant compared to talent, aptitude, and cultivation."
"Is it inappropriate to ignore their talent, aptitude, and strength, and then completely deny their value based solely on a minor flaw?"
"And what gives you the right to look down on them?"
Yu Xiaogang's sudden action startled Flander, who was sitting next to him, and Liu Erlong was also stunned. Ye Qifeng, on the other hand, smiled slightly.
"Ah, if that's how you put it, then I do look down on the so-called Shrek Seven Devils. As for whether I have the right to look down on them, you'll find out soon enough."
"You'll see that at this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
As he was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject:
"However, before you question me, I also have a question for you."
Before Yu Xiaogang could answer, Ye Qifeng immediately asked:
"I heard from Sister Erlong that you want control of Blue Tyrant Academy and the power to allocate all Soul Master resources?"
"That is indeed true."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered slightly, but he finally nodded in agreement, then proudly raised his head:
"I research martial spirit theory, which requires sufficient soul master resources to support my research. Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy possesses considerable soul master resources, making it an ideal place for martial spirit theory research. Therefore, I hope it can support my research. Is there any problem with that?"
As expected of the "Waste Master," he's shameless indeed, speaking so matter-of-factly. Ye Qifeng couldn't help but inwardly scoff, but outwardly, his smile remained unchanged.
"And what will you give in return? What can you bring to Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Yu Xiaogang immediately raised his head even higher, as if he himself were a great gift from Blue Tyrant Academy: "The title of the number one master of martial soul theory is the reward."
Where does this guy get his confidence? Ye Qifeng looked at Yu Xiaogang with a strange expression. What, the number one master of martial soul theory? Are you serious? Don't you know how you got that title?
"Then let me ask you another question," Ye Qifeng rubbed his forehead, trying to calm his restless mind, "As long as you can answer truthfully, I can grant you all the rights you desire."
"What's the problem?" Yu Xiaogang frowned, and for some reason, a sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.
