Chapter 43: Qin Xiao's Plan, The Show Has Just Begun
"Deal!"
Under the expectant gaze of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, Qin Xiao nodded in agreement.
In fact, Ning Fengzhi's offer was higher than what Qin Xiao had in mind.
Why wouldn't he agree?
The transaction was completed quickly. Ning Fengzhi obtained the six soul bones, and Qin Xiao received ten black cards in return.
"Brother Qin, rest assured, each black card has a limit of three million gold soul coins. If there's any discrepancy, you can come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find me anytime," Ning Fengzhi assured, patting his chest.
"Haha, Elder Ning, you're being too formal. Since I've dealt with you, I trust your integrity," Qin Xiao said, not even bothering to check the amount on the cards before accepting them.
Then, he waved at Flender in the distance, "Dean Flender, please come here for a moment."
"What do you want me for?" Flender wondered, a bit panicked.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing," Qin Xiao reassured, noticing Flender's hesitation.
A good thing?
That's relieving.
Flender trusted that Qin Xiao had no need to deceive him.
"The battle with Tang Xiao destroyed Shrek Academy. I'm willing to donate funds for its reconstruction," Qin Xiao said when Flender approached.
"No, no need," Flender refused, waving his hand.
However, upon seeing Qin Xiao hand him a black card, Flender's mouth said, "How can I accept this?" but his body honestly grasped the card.
Seeing the amount on the card, Flender was stunned.
"One million gold soul coins?"
Flender's hands trembled.
He had never seen so much money in his life.
"Your Majesty, is this money really for me?" Flender asked tentatively, "You're not trying to give me ten thousand or a hundred thousand gold soul coins and accidentally picked the wrong one?"
Qin Xiao laughed, "Do I look like someone who would make such a mistake?"
"No," Flender happily pocketed the black card.
"Hmph, this kid knows how to curry favor," Sword Douluo muttered under his breath, recognizing that the black card Qin Xiao had just given was one of the gifts from Ning Fengzhi.
"Senior, you misunderstand. It's my money, and I can spend it however I wish," Qin Xiao retorted, "Even if I want to spend a million or throw it away, there's no issue."
Saying this, Qin Xiao displayed a stack of black cards, all gifted by Ning Fengzhi.
Sword Douluo was left speechless.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and bowed to Qin Xiao, "Brother Qin, I have some sect matters to attend to and won't impose any longer."
"Sect Master Ning, no need to be formal. Go ahead with your business," Qin Xiao responded, bowing back.
He knew Ning Fengzhi's 'sect matters' meant returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to distribute the loot.
After all, only by refining these soul bones to boost their strength could they truly feel at ease.
"Sword Douluo, wait until we meet next time, my sword will surely defeat you."
Sword Douluo left a tough remark.
Qin Xiao chuckled, "We shall see."
His indifferent attitude made Sword Douluo want to spit blood in frustration.
He felt like Qin Xiao didn't take him seriously.
However, Flender gleaned an important piece of information from Sword Douluo's words.
It seemed that Qin Xiao had a private contest with Sword Douluo, and the victory seemed to belong to Qin Xiao?
That's incredible!
"Um," Flender hesitantly spoke after calming down, "Your Majesty, there's something I wish to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Qin Xiao sensed that Flender was up to something.
"In the Great Spirit Arena, I met an old student from our academy, Qin Ming. He's currently working as a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Oh," Qin Xiao drew out his response, "Is it that he's willing to act as a mediator, allowing Shrek Academy's students and teachers to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
"Your Majesty is wise," Flender's eyes sparkled.
He found it effortless to converse with someone as astute as Qin Xiao.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with its superior teaching resources and conditions for students and teachers, is incomparable to Shrek Academy. Joining them would be highly beneficial for Shrek's students and teachers," Flender explained his reasoning.
Qin Xiao didn't respond immediately but stared at Flender until he started to get nervous, then he spoke softly, "Are you sure you're not making this decision just because you want to pocket the one million gold soul coins?"
Ah, this...
Flender was initially stunned, then showed a look of horror: "Even if you gave me a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Your Majesty, if it's inconvenient, I'll start rebuilding Shrek Academy right now to show my commitment."
Flender was truly panicking.
This was a man who had taken down the master of the world's number one sect and had a pleasant conversation with Ning Fengzhi.
Flender, despite considering himself astute, wouldn't dare to play tricks in front of Qin Xiao.
"Haha, Dean Flender, don't be nervous, I was just joking," Qin Xiao suddenly laughed, "Since you're considering the welfare of the academy's students, I have no reason to refuse. When do we leave?"
Phew.
Relieved, Flender suggested, "How about now? It saves everyone the hassle of packing."
"Alright."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
In fact, even if Flender hadn't suggested it, Qin Xiao was planning to leave Shrek Academy for a while.
Being enemies with Tang San and Tang Hao meant he couldn't allow them to grow unchallenged.
For example, going to Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, or making a trip to the City of Slaughter to plant some poison.
Or visiting Heaven Dou City to play with the Hanhai Universe Cover.
Qin Xiao was determined to thwart them.
And Flender's suggestion coincided with Qin Xiao's next move.
"Perfect, let's first go to the Heaven Dou Empire and discuss the development of medicinal fields with Dugu Bo."
Qin Xiao had already planned his next steps.
He only hoped that Dugu Bo wouldn't be uncooperative.
"Terrifying."
"Truly terrifying!"
Elsewhere, a hundred miles away, Tang Hao looked towards Shrek Academy, still in shock.
In fact, after Tang Xiao's self-detonation, he hadn't escaped far.
He even thought about going back to help Tang Xiao fight Qin Xiao again.
But.
After witnessing Qin Xiao's terrifying finger strike, Tang Hao abandoned all thoughts of returning.
Even at his peak, Tang Hao doubted he could withstand such power.
Thump!
Tang Hao suddenly knelt in the direction of Shrek Academy.
"Big brother, your sacrifice won't be in vain. One day, I will personally avenge you by taking down Qin Xiao!"
"Big brother, rest assured, I'll take care of Clear Sky Clan for you."
"Big brother, rest in peace."
After saying this, Tang Hao kowtowed three times.
