185 True Brothers and False Brothers
Listening to Yu Xiaogang's sarcastic remarks, even Flanders, who usually had a good temper, couldn't help but feel a little angry.
It is true that Ma Hongjun's soul power lags behind others, but his martial soul has inherent defects, which is determined by nature.
But what did Yu Xiaogang mean by that? Didn't he teach Ma Hongjun well?
If you ask yourself, Ma Hongjun had never missed his usual practice before Yu Xiaogang came, even once. But Yu Xiaogang's practice method was not very friendly to a fat man like him.
Besides, your soul power level is not as good as Ma Hongjun's. How can you say that Ma Hongjun didn't work hard to cultivate? At least, Ma Hongjun's efforts have some effect, but your efforts are useless!
Flanders knew that it was pointless to expose each other's shortcomings, so he did not say what was in his heart.
The door of the meeting room was not closed, and the argument between the two was soon heard by Liu Erlong who was passing by.
Entering the room, she looked at the two people arguing and asked in confusion, "Xiao Gang, Boss Fu, what are you arguing about?"
Yu Xiaogang was emboldened when he saw Liu Erlong coming. He pointed at Flanders' nose and scolded, "Flanders, let's not talk about Ma Hongjun. The Soul Master Competition is very close now, and I don't want to argue with you about these meaningless things. You know Ma Hongjun's character best. There is a world of difference between him and Xiao San!"
Flanders completely exploded, "Xiaogang, you'd better explain it to me clearly. Hongjun is my disciple, what right do you have to say he is not? The Shrek team was originally formed by me, what right do you have to kick Hongjun out? If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will not end!"
Your Yu Xiaogang's disciples are just disciples, but my Flanders' disciples are not human beings?
Liu Erlong roughly heard that they were arguing because of Ma Hongjun.
To be fair, if it weren't for Flanders's sake, she wouldn't like Ma Hongjun either.
After all, she had seen Ma Hongjun's attitude towards cultivation before, but she didn't understand why there was any need to argue about this matter.
Sandwiched between the two people, she felt it was difficult to interrupt, so she simply decided to stand on the side of the "weak" Yu Xiaogang.
"Boss Fu, Xiaogang must have his reasons for making such an arrangement. Besides, Hongjun's strength does not meet the competition standards. You can't make an exception just because you are his teacher."
Flanders laughed in anger. Was this a question of whether to make an exception or not?
The Shrek Seven Devils were formed by him. Even if Ma Hongjun was so unbearable, he should at least have a status! But now, Yu Xiaogang not only deprived him of his status, but also did not let him participate in the competition. It was obvious that he was deliberately ostracizing him.
"Sister Erlong, since you think Xiaogang did the right thing, I have nothing to say."
After saying that, Flanders turned and left angrily.
Zhao Wuji, who heard the noise outside the door, rushed over and quickly caught up with Flanders.
In the room, Liu Erlong also spoke up for Flanders, "Xiaogang, there's no need for you to make such a fuss over Ma Hongjun's matter."
Yu Xiaogang unconsciously put his hands behind his back and explained what had just happened.
"So, this is not just a matter for Ma Hongjun alone. No one can bear the responsibility of affecting the advancement of the Shrek team."
Liu Erlong hesitated to speak. She thought it was okay to let Ma Hongjun play once or twice in the preliminaries, but she would never object to Yu Xiaogang's decision.
…
"Dean, what's wrong? This is the first time I see you so angry." Zhao Wuji pulled Flanders and sat down on a random bench in the academy.
Flanders felt heartbroken at this moment. After so many years of brotherhood, he couldn't even make an exception for his disciple. This brotherhood had come to an end.
"Old Zhao, I'm a little tired. Perhaps, from the moment we left Soto City, Shrek Academy will really cease to exist." Flanders sighed to the sky.
It was true that he was now the dean of the New Shrek Academy, but he still felt the taste of being dependent on others. If this was his own academy, would he still need to ask Yu Xiaogang for advice?
Zhao Wuji understood the meaning of the words and said, "Dean, you have to let me know what happened. If you do this, what should we brothers do?"
They didn't know Liu Erlong, and if Flanders left Shrek Academy, they wouldn't stay here and be looked down upon. But they couldn't just leave without knowing why, so they at least knew the reason.
After listening to Flanders' explanation, Zhao Wuji suddenly became furious.
When they first met, Yu Xiaogang scolded him for no reason. Now, because of Ma Hongjun's matter, he directly offended Flanders. This was unacceptable.
"Don't worry, Dean. I will make Yu Xiaogang suffer tonight!"
Flanders stopped him and said, "Old Zhao, be more mature. Xiaogang has the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family behind him, and we are just some civilian soul masters."
He felt somewhat relieved. "After the Soul Master Competition is over, I plan to leave here and return to Soto City. I have also given up on the academy path. Maybe I am not cut out for it."
"If you are willing to come back with me, I have accumulated some savings over the past few years, and we may be able to start a small business."
Zhao Wuji responded without hesitation, "Dean, I'll follow you. I've had enough of this bastard Yu Xiaogang, who relies on his background to show off all the time. I'll tell Lao Li and the others about your decision later, and then we'll leave together!"
"Old Zhao, these years, actually I..." Flanders was a little moved.
Compared to Yu Xiaogang, the brothers he met later were real good friends.
Zhao Wuji didn't care at all. "Well, we were just joking at the beginning, who would take it seriously? Besides, even when the academy was in the most difficult times, you never abandoned us. Sharing happiness and hardships together, this is what good brothers do."
At this point, the two looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time, "Hahaha."
Flanders took out the design drawings that he had drawn with great effort from his soul guide, tore them into countless pieces, and threw them into the air at random.
This was the school uniform he had originally prepared to wear to the Soul Master Competition. Since he had already decided to leave Shrek Academy, these things had nothing to do with him anymore.
In the following days, Flanders, Zhao Wuji and others no longer asked about the affairs of the academy, but instead devoted themselves to teaching Ma Hongjun and ordinary students in Shrek Academy.
Liu Erlong had finally become a hands-off boss, but when she saw Flanders quit, she was in disgrace.
"Boss Fu, are you still a man? Are you going to ignore the academy just because you had a few words with Xiaogang?"
Flanders did not respond, nor did he say he wanted to leave the academy.
The Soul Master Competition is approaching, and if he resigns hastily, it will affect the stability of the Shrek team.
This was probably the last thing he did for Shrek Academy.
"Erlong, you should take care of the affairs of the academy first. I'm a little tired these days, so I'll take a rest for a while."
