章 135: Chapter 135: Are You Going to Poach Both the Student and the Teacher?
Chapter 135: Are You Going to Poach Both the Student and the Teacher?
After responding briefly, he disappeared in a flash.
Liu Erlong was still in a daze, unable to recover her senses for a long time.
For some reason, Liu Erlong felt that Kong understood her better than she understood herself. They hadn't interacted much, so why was it like this?
"Playing dumb and deceiving oneself?"
Liu Erlong sighed. Twenty years of emotions couldn't just disappear because of a few words.
She wanted to hear how Yu Xiaogang would explain himself!
"Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, is it?"
Blue Tyrant Academy wasn't far from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, especially for a Soul Sage, which meant even less travel time.
In roughly a quarter of an hour, Liu Erlong arrived at the gate of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
There were no guards stationed at the entrance of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!
As the most prestigious academy within the empire, if someone could take on three Soul Douluo-level Masters, guards wouldn't be able to stop them. If they couldn't, having guards wouldn't make any difference either.
"Uh... why is this she-dragon here?"
Meng Shenji stared at Liu Erlong, who had barged into his office, lost in thought.
A few days ago, two of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's students had withdrawn voluntarily to enroll in Blue Tyrant Academy!
Heaven Dou Imperial Academy only admitted nobles.
Blue Tyrant Academy only admitted commoners.
When Liu Erlong founded the academy, it seemed to target Heaven Dou Imperial Academy deliberately. Meng Shenji, as the chief of the three deans of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, held almost the same authority as the principal.
After all, the Emperor Xue Ye, who was nominally the principal, never meddled in the affairs of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
"Headmaster Liu Erlong, what brings you here?"
Meng Shenji asked in confusion.
There had always been minor conflicts between Blue Tyrant Academy and Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. In the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, Blue Tyrant Academy's team had been eliminated by the second team of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Liu Erlong had always been pondering how to regain the upper hand!
"Sorry for the intrusion, Dean Meng. I came today primarily to find someone."
Liu Erlong said with a slightly apologetic tone. Due to the incident involving Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, these three old men at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy were already fuming. Now that she had something to ask of them, her attitude naturally couldn't be too high.
Others might not know Liu Erlong's background and why she could establish an academy in such a prime area in Heaven Dou City, but how could Meng Shenji be unaware? He was the pillar of the Heaven Dou Empire! How could he possibly not know about Liu Erlong's background?
Meng Shenji was about to say something when Liu Erlong paused, seeming to recall something, and continued, "Dean Meng, you are knowledgeable; do you recognize this dragon-shaped jade pendant?"
Liu Erlong took the jade pendant from her waist and placed it on Meng Shenji's desk.
Meng Shenji was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Erlong. She didn't seem to be here to stir up trouble.
He examined the jade pendant on the table and looked at Liu Erlong with a strange expression. He retracted his previous thoughts; now, he had the feeling that Liu Erlong was indeed here to stir up trouble!
"Headmaster Liu Erlong, are you messing with me?"
Meng Shenji, too, had his pride. He was a dignified Soul Douluo-level Master; how could he tolerate being played like this?
What was Liu Erlong implying? Was she showing off her background, or was this a threat?
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was taken aback. She didn't understand why Meng Shenji's attitude had suddenly changed.
"Dean Meng, what do you mean by that? Erlong genuinely has questions, which is why I'm asking."
Meng Shenji was stunned again. He frowned, staring at Liu Erlong, and seeing her calm demeanor, he wondered if he might have misunderstood her.
"This jade is blue, and the dragon scales are vivid, as if not carved by human hands..."
"Moreover, it's also a symbol of status. Its owner must hold quite a high position within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, correct?"
A blue dragon-shaped jade pendant, at a glance, was clearly a priceless treasure that ordinary people couldn't possess.
Liu Erlong fell silent. Was it really like this? Even an outsider could tell that the owner of the pendant held a high rank in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Yu Xiaogang, as the son of the clan leader, could he truly be unaware of her background?
"It seems that Kong's words are ninety percent true."
Liu Erlong thought to herself. She then reattached the jade pendant to her waist, cupped her hands towards Meng Shenji, and said, "Thank you, Dean Meng, for clarifying."
Meng Shenji: "..."
"Dean Meng, do you know if Yu Xiaogang is at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"
"Yu Xiaogang?"
Meng Shenji thought for a moment. A surname like Yu, combined with Liu Erlong's background, meant that this Yu Xiaogang was most likely from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Shenji shook his head, indicating he didn't know of anyone named Yu Xiaogang at the academy.
"That can't be right. Kong wouldn't lie to me," Liu Erlong frowned, her face cycling between green and pale as her emotions churned.
Just then, a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure walked in.
"Dean Meng..."
The figure paused, looking a bit bewildered. Why was Erlong, of all people, at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?
"Flan... Flender?"
"Liu Erlong?"
The two blinked at each other. Could this really be such a coincidence?
"What are you doing here?"
They both spoke at almost the exact same time.
Meng Shenji, watching from the side, was taken aback. Liu Erlong and Flender knew each other? By the looks of it, they hadn't seen each other in a long time!
Wait a minute... the Golden Iron Triangle!
Flender was one of the Golden Iron Triangle, known as the Flying Horn!
Liu Erlong, with her fierce reputation, was the Slaughtering Horn, also part of the Golden Iron Triangle.
Given they could use the martial soul fusion technique together, knowing each other was completely normal, wasn't it?
But reuniting here, at someone else's academy, was certainly a bit awkward.
Liu Erlong had heard that Flender had founded an academy called Shrek Academy, so what was he doing at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?
Judging by his uniform, he was dressed as one of the senior directors at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!
"Why don't you go first, Erlong," Flender suggested, knowing her fiery personality. If she didn't speak now, who knew how things would turn out later?
"I'm here looking for Yu Xiaogang. I didn't expect to find you here as a director at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Didn't you say you wanted to retire? Wouldn't it be better to come to my Blue Tyrant Academy instead? As for the headmaster role..."
"Er... er... er...!"
Liu Erlong shot a confused look at Meng Shenji. What was wrong with this old man, coughing non-stop?
Meng Shenji felt utterly numb. Not only had Blue Tyrant Academy stolen their best students, but now they were even planning to poach their teachers too?
Upon hearing her words, Flender's face changed. As expected, Erlong was still thinking about Yu Xiaogang!
Sigh... Flender sighed inwardly, staring up at the ceiling, feeling utterly defeated.
What he failed to notice was that Liu Erlong had said "Yu Xiaogang" rather than simply "Xiaogang."
"Yu Xiaogang, he..."
