--- Chapter 120 ---
After recovering his strength a little and devouring every single drop of Chu Yunxi's soup, Yunlong walked out to the window and stretched his body.
"It's about time." He casually commented while looking at the sunset.
"About time for what?" Zhu Zhuqing, who stood beside him, asked with a curious expression.
"You will know later." Yunlong chuckled and patted Zhu Zhuqing on the head, which caused her to purr a little.
The other maid learned how to make soup from Chu Yunxi, who only lightly giggled and taught them a few things about cooking.
Out of nowhere, Bai Xue suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked at Yunlong. "Young Master?!" She said.
"Yeah?" Yunlong shifted his gaze to Bai Xue.
"Are you forgetting the ten thousand gold coins in the arena?" Bai Xue asked, which caused Yunlong to laugh.
"Haha, who said I gave them my money." Yunlong suddenly smirked and put his maids in confusion.
--- [Shrek Academy] ---
In Tang San's bedroom, Yu Xiaogang looked at his student's condition with a solemn expression.
"Tang San…" He muttered with a pained expression.
Flender and Zhao Wuji deeply frowned while looking at Tang San's bloody back because the justice clearly targeted their team, which resulted in this situation.
'What's that guy's true motive..?' Flender quietly thought about the Justice League appearance in this city, which is quite weird because they appeared just this noon from what he inquired.

Flender suddenly remembered what happened to Zhao Wuji after fighting Tang San in the examination, which ended with Tang Hao appearing in the night and beat him up.
'Even though I'm not sure, Clear Sky Douluo should have watched his son from the shadows.' Flender thought of a few disasters that happened an hour ago.
The earthquake shook the city, and a few intense storms swept over the academy, causing buildings in the area to be destroyed because none of them were solidly built.
"Zhao Wuji, what about the other kids' condition?" Yu Xiaogang suddenly asked while trying to solve why Yunlong attacked his students.
"Except for Xiaotao, who was greatly injured, the rest of them only had shallow injuries and slightly broken bones." Zhao Wuji answered.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't release a helpless sigh because there is nothing he could do in this situation. "Flender, Do you still have that grass?" He looked at his friend.
"You mean, the fairy grass?" Flender responded, to which Yu Xiaogang reacted with a nod. "Sadly, I don't have it anymore."
"You don't have it anymore? But, you should have one stalk left yesterday for Tang San, right?" Yu Xiaogang firmly said, but Flender stared at him with a frown.
"No, I don't have it anymore." Flender strongly responded to his friend's request.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but stare at him with an irritated face and stood up from his seat, grabbing Flender's collar and intently gazing into his eyes.
"Why!?" He shouted with a cold tone.
Flender slapped his hands and put him down. "I already used it on Xiaotao." He calmly replied.
"B-But her condition is not as bad as Tang San!" Yu Xiaogang desperately said.
"Huh?! Her condition is not as bad as Tang San, you said?" Flender fiercely responded while releasing a spirit energy pressure from his body.
Ma Xiaotao's black phoenix flame almost entirely burned her body. Not only that but there are countless cuts injuries around her body, which happened because she endured Yunlong's golden cutting strings.
Yunlong's last attack also caused Ma Xiaotao's skull to fracture a little, and fortunately for her, Flender has the fairy grass, which healed her body without side effects.
"Xiaogang… I know you consider Tang San as your own son." Flender calmly pulled his presence back.
"But, I also consider Ma Xiaotao as my precious daughter, so I'll prioritize her over Tang San." He firmly continued, which caused Yu Xiaogang to grit his teeth.
Yu Xiaogang tried to calm himself down, but he was really anxious because, without Tang San, who could achieve his dream not to become a waste spirit master, his life has no meaning.
He thought of something for a moment and remembered a particular person possessing the fairy grass, a former teammate of his team.
"L-Liu Erlong… She still has the fairy grass." He suddenly muttered. "We can ask for her help."
Yu Xiaogang raised his gaze to his friend like it was the best idea he could think of, and Flender snapped off.
"Xiaogang! Are you aware of what you are saying right now!" Flender loudly shouted because this man still had the audacity to seek help from his former lover.
Even after he left her away for many years and had another lover, which he found disgusting but couldn't do anything about it because he didn't have the guts to do it.
"Flender, this is the only way.." Yu Xiaogang firmly responded while giving his friend a reassuring look because as long as he talked with Liu Erlong, she'd gladly help them.
"Y-You.." Flender's body was shaking when hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.
He could feel his whole blood boiling in anger, and he really wanted to punch this man to the ground. "Zhao Wuji, Let's go." Flender suddenly said.
"I want to check Xiaotao and Hongjun's condition." He added while releasing a huff and walked away with Zhao Wuji, leaving Yu Xiaogang alone in Tang San's room.
As Flender walked out of Tang San's house, he finally breathed air from his lungs and looked at the skies with a complicated gaze.
"Liu Erlong.." He muttered with a somewhat sad expression because she's a woman that he confessed to in the past but got rejected because she loved Yu Xiaogang.
Even though Flender's heart became bitter every time remembering that woman, he's still saved those moments in his heart. "Just why.." He gripped his hand.
Zhao Wuji was utterly silent when they heatedly argued with each other because he had never seen Flender in this kind of state.
"Let's have a drink." He said with a smile while patting Flender's shoulders.
Flender released a sigh and responded, "Sure, but you pay for it."
Zhao Wuji's mouth twitched in annoyance because this man was still worried about his own money, even in this kind of situation.
"Whatever, let's go." He casually brought Flender to one of the buildings in the academy, which was a canteen, and staff usually sell booze for teachers.
They drank for a few minutes, and Flender had literally drunk because his face was completely red.
"Of course, you'd be drunk if you drank that much." Zhao Wuji looked at a tall stack of beer mugs on the counter.
"How much?" He asked while shifting his gaze to the staff, who raised two fingers.
"Two silver coins, that's cheaper than what I expected." Zhao Wuji grabbed his pocket, but the staff shook his head.
"I mean two gold coins." The staff said, which caused Zhao Wuji's mouth to once again twitch in annoyance.
Zhao Wuji paid the bills and supported Flender to his house, which is also his office.
"Liu Erlong…" Flender muttered while swinging his hand away.
Zhao Wuji shook his head off and grabbed Flender's hands. "This is why I don't see you drunk so often, huh." He commented.
As they were about to reach the house, Zhao Wuji suddenly asked, "By the way, what happened to that ten thousand gold coins?"
"I put it in the safe inside of my house." Flender honestly answered while looking at the skies.
"Have you already checked the content of the pouch?" Zhao Wuji asked because they shouldn't trust Batman, considering he had injured their students.
"I didn't check it," Flender replied while feeling really nauseous.
"Wait, you didn't check?!" Zhao Wuji blurted and threw Flender to the ground.
BLERG!
Flender puked out every drink he had today and looked at Zhao Wuji. "Yes." He said while slightly regaining his soberness.
"Hurry, we should check it now!" Zhao Wuji said with a worried expression.
"O-Okay," Flender replied while standing off.
They were about to walk into the building, and a great explosion suddenly occurred from inside.
BOOOOOOOM!
The house exploded entirely while white and golden flames spurt out to everything around it.
"NOOOOOOOO!! MY MONEY!" Flender loudly shouted.
