Chapter 103: Dai Mubai: Teacher, You're Being Foolish!
Just as everyone's gaze converged on Yu Tianheng, before he could even open his mouth to speak, a black figure appeared before them.
"Aunt?"
"Erlong?"
The newcomer was the current Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong.
When she saw that the person visiting her was her eldest brother Flender, her entire being lit up with visible joy.
Furthermore, upon seeing a group of youngsters following him, Liu Erlong immediately guessed the reason for their visit.
"Old Flender, you wouldn't be looking to join our Blue Tyrant Academy, would you?"
Having his intentions guessed, Flender's shoehorn-shaped Face showed a trace of an awkward smile; before he could even speak, his beloved Sister Erlong had already deduced his motive.
However, Liu Erlong's next words far exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Old Flender, I naturally welcome your arrival. Besides, I've never been very interested in managing the academy. Since you're here, you should take over as the Dean."
"The academy's name can also be changed to Shrek."
Hearing this, Flender became even more excited. While his mouth uttered words of refusal, his mind was already fantasizing about the moment Shrek Academy would take flight after making a name for itself in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
To the side, Yu Tianheng was completely speechless. This Blue Tyrant Academy was his Family's property...
His spendthrift aunt was just handing it over like this?
But then Yu Tianheng remembered that his second uncle Yu Xiaogang was also here, and he felt relieved.
Yu Xiaogang was Yu Yuanzhen's Son; rounding it off, the academy was still effectively in the hands of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Upon seeing Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang instinctively shrank into a corner.
Certain actions leave traces, and he had always valued his Face immensely. The world calling him a waste was already painful enough; if people started whispering behind his back because of the situation between him and his cousin, Yu Xiaogang felt it would be more agonizing than death.
However, as the saying goes, you fear what you get.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was cautiously trying to minimize his presence, Liu Erlong's gaze finally landed on him.
That familiar buzz cut, that figure she yearned for day and night, instantly caused her entire body to tremble involuntarily. She then lunged into Yu Xiaogang's arms, weeping.
As a veteran in the field of romance, Dai Mubai saw the awkwardness of the situation at a glance.
His teacher's Face was practically screaming with rejection.
'No, I have to talk to my teacher later. The Pope's side is the correct match; some mistakes simply cannot be made."
Liu Erlong held the stiff figure in her arms tightly, her tears instantly soaking the front of Yu Xiaogang's clothes.
Her surging love, bottled up for twenty years, poured out at this moment like a flood breaking through a dam, completely disregarding the group of dumbfounded students and teachers nearby.
However, facing this scalding affection, Yu Xiaogang—who was nearly being squeezed to death—had a Face full of resistance and panic.
"Erlong! You... let go first!"
Yu Xiaogang struggled vigorously, his old Face turning flush red as his eyes darted around, terrified that others would point fingers at him. "In broad daylight, such tugging and pulling—where is the decorum! The children are watching!"
Seeing the scene become incredibly tense and awkward, Dai Mubai knew it was time for him to step in.
"Ahem, well... Senior Liu Erlong?"
Dai Mubai braced himself and stepped forward, not only timely interrupting the skin-crawling intimacy but also skillfully shifting the topic. "Teacher is exhausted from the journey and his body is naturally weak. Furthermore, our primary goal for coming here is the upcoming All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"Since we are all Family now, there will be plenty of time for catching up in the future. Right now, the priority should be settling in and discussing the tournament arrangements, shouldn't it? After all, this concerns Teacher's lifelong wish to prove his theories."
Hearing the words "prove himself," Yu Xiaogang's body jolted as if he had found a lifeline, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Yes! Yes! Mubai is right!"
Taking advantage of Liu Erlong's momentary daze, Yu Xiaogang hastily broke free from her embrace and said with a stern, serious expression, "Erlong, the tournament is imminent. As a teacher, I must lead by example. Romantic entanglements will only affect This Master's teaching. Everything can wait until after the tournament!"
Seeing this, Flender also hurried over to smooth things over, pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with a smile. "That's right, Erlong. Since Xiaogang has already come to your turf, are you afraid he'll run away? There's plenty of time ahead."
Originally, Liu Erlong was extremely displeased that someone had suddenly interrupted her reunion with her beloved Little Gang Gege. She was about to lose her temper when she heard Flender's explanation.
"Erlong, this is Dai Mubai, Xiaogang's Disciple."
"So he's Xiaogang's apprentice..."
Out of love for the master, the dissatisfaction in Liu Erlong's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by the soft gaze one uses for their own Junior. She even nodded with quite some admiration. "Not bad. This child is quite handsome and knows how to look out for his teacher. He's a good prospect."
"Since it's Xiaogang's wish, then we'll do as you say. In this Blue Tyrant Academy... oh no, from today on, it's Shrek Academy. You can do whatever you want; this old lady will give you full support!"
...
After the farce ended and night fell, the academy that had been bustling all day finally quieted down.
However, Dai Mubai did not rest.
Why had he originally taken Yu Xiaogang, a mere Level 29 Great Soul Master, as his teacher and followed his cultivation plans to the letter?
To put it bluntly, wasn't it to gain the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him and the Pope Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall?
Now that this unexpected situation had arisen, Dai Mubai was quite nervous.
He checked that no one was around and quietly made his way to Yu Xiaogang's room, knocking on the door.
"Come in."
Yu Xiaogang's slightly weary voice came from inside the room.
Dai Mubai pushed the door open and locked it behind him. Looking at his teacher, who was staring blankly at the oil lamp at the table, his expression became more serious than ever before.
"Mubai? It's so late, is there something you need from your teacher?" Yu Xiaogang put on airs, trying to maintain his profound image.
However, he was met with Dai Mubai's pained and earnest persuasion: "Teacher, you're being foolish! If the Pope who deeply loves you finds out you're involved with another woman, what will she think?"
