--- Chapter 140 ---

Shrek Academy people have arrived in the heaven dou city after their facilities and building burned into ashes, and fortunately, there are no human fatalities.

Well, except for Flender's money, which literally reduced to zero in a night, causing him to cry a lot that night.

'My money, my hard work...' Flender thought with dead eyes, which caused Ma Xiaotao to worry about him.

Ma Xiaotao has never seen Flender in this kind of state, and even though he's greedy in people's eyes, she understands those golds were for the academy, and he never spent them personally.

"Are you okay?" Ma Xiaotao asked with a worried tone, and Flender bitterly nodded his head.

They took a carriage ride toward the heaven dou city afterward, which one full day ride without any rest.

Even though Flender had lost his money, the teacher and staff still had quite a lot of money so that all of them could afford the traveling expenses.

Later, when they arrived at the heaven dou city's gate, the guard halted their movement and checked a few required information, but Ning Rongrong immediately showed something that made them terrified.

"W-Welcome to the heaven dou city, young lady." The guard politely saluted at the pink-haired girl.

Ning Rongrong nodded her head in satisfaction and shifted her gaze to Ma Xiaotao, giving her a reassuring smile.

"When you are in heaven dou city, leave it to me! I could easily help!" Ning Rongrong said with pride, which caused Ma Xiaotao to smile a little.

Even though Ning Rongrong's superiority as a noble had decreased a lot since she entered Shrek Academy, she's still a young lady of a great clan after all.

"Xiao Wu, you don't have to worry. If we couldn't heal Tang San in the academy that grandmaster talked about, we could heal him in my clan." Ning Rongrong suddenly added while shifting her gaze to the brown-haired girl.

"Mhm." Xiao Wu calmly nodded her head with a thankful expression.

Xiao Wu moved her gaze to a black-haired boy, who calmly breathed even though he clearly had fallen asleep for more than one day.

'San Ge...' Xiao Wu worriedly thought while gently caressing Tang San's face.

Nevertheless, Ning Rongrong's words caused a certain spark inside of the grandmaster's heart.

'No, Liu Erlong should be there, and she would help us...' Yu Xiaogang thought while looking at the city gate.

They entered the heaven dou city, and Ning Rongrong immediately noticed a few changes in the atmosphere, which is somehow more cheerful?

'Wow, they changed so much after a few months.' Ning Rongrong thought while looking at the buildings inside of the city, which clearly became neater than before.

"Um, Rongrong, I'm curious, but just how influential is your family?" Oscar suddenly asked because he has some crush on Ning Rongrong and wanted to know her level so that he could prepare in the future.

"Hmm... We are on the last of the top three." Ning Rongrong responded, which caught Oscar off guard.

"T-Top Three..." Oscar muttered with a stutter.

"There are three upper sect clans. My clan is third because we mainly support type spirit masters." Ning Rongrong casually said, and the grandmaster nodded his head in consent.

"Second is blue lightning tyrant dragon clan." The grandmaster suddenly said with a bitter sensation in his heart.

"And the first is the clear sky clan, which possessed the greatest tool spirit." He calmly continued while thinking about Tang San's other martial soul.

Ma Hongjun suddenly raised his hand and said, "We have seen Rongrong's martial soul and fought the blue lightning dragon guy before, but I have never seen someone from the clear sky clan."

"If this clan is the strongest, why I have never heard of it?" He reasonably asked, which caused everyone in the carriage to nod in the same interest.

"Fatty sometimes, I wonder if you're actually stupid or not." Oscar suddenly commented, which made Ma Hongjun's mouth twitch in annoyance.

Flender gaze Yu Xiaogang a questioned gaze and frowned at him because this isn't the right time to tell these kids about those things, especially when Tang San is one of the clan members of that clan.

Yu Xiaogang understands what his friend's gaze means and vaguely answered, "The clan was hiding in a secret place, so you won't be able to meet them or even find them."

Yu Xiaogang's answer is ironic because Tang San, the member of the clear sky clan, literally has been on their side the whole time.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Ning Ronrong put her head out to see what happened outside. "What happened?" She asked with a frown.

Ning Rongrong looked at a group of carriages past them, and each of them had a unique logo, which looked familiar to her.

"Auction House?" Ning Rongrong muttered while thinking about something.

The carriages around start moving toward the city plaza, where the auction house exists, but what makes Ning Rongrong wonder is this won't usually happen.

'Except something big happened...' Ning Rongrong guessed with a curious expression.

"Let's change direction." Yu Xiaogang suddenly instructed the driver to change the road.

The driver nodded his head and moved according to Yu Xiaogang's instruction, which took much longer than he expected because all roads were busy for some reason.

"We are here." The driver calmly said, and they immediately looked outside.

A broad and tall gate greeted them, which caused some of them to be mesmerized because they have never seen something this grand.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes calmly looked at the gate and noticed something was weird. From what he heard four years ago, this academy is more lively because not really thinking about noble status.

When he arrived here, Yu Xiaogang frowned a little because he couldn't even sense anything except for an abandoned atmosphere.

"Xiaogang..." Flender shook his friend's shoulder to bring him out of his thoughts and also frowned because this was different from what he had expected.

Yu Xiaogang nodded his head, and they walked out of the carriage, walking toward the academy with the hope of meeting their former teammates.

As they walked toward the gate, a middle-aged man with a white beard, who swept the ground, greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Do you need something here?" The middle-aged man asked with a polite tone, to which Yu Xiaogang and Flender responded with a nod.

"Yes, elder. We are here to meet someone." Yu Xiaogang answered, which caused the middle-aged man to tilt his head in confusion.

"Someone, who?" The middle-aged man asked with a confused tone.

"We are here to meet Liu Erlong. The headmaster of the blue tyrant academy." Flender replied while fixing his glasses angle.

It's been a while since the middle-aged man heard that name, and he immediately wondered about something.

He shook his head a little and calmly said, "The blue tyrant academy moved away from the heaven dou city four years ago."

Yu Xiaogang and Flender were shocked by his answer and looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"Flender..." Yu Xiaogang muttered with a distant tone.

"I don't know anything about this, Xiaogang. She never told me anything about moving away." Flender responded with a solemn expression.

"It's been exactly four years since she stopped sending me letters." He continued, which caused Yu Xiaogang to frown.

Yu Xiaogang massaged his forehead, and a lot of thought flashed in his head at that moment.

"Liu Erlong..." He suddenly mumbled while looking at the academy.

He was about to walk in by himself, but Flender stopped him and said, "Calm down. We have to find what happened first."

Yu Xiaogang heavily sighed, and they walked back to the carriage with bitter expressions on their faces.

The middle-aged man suddenly walked in front of them and said, "I might know about something."

"Do you mind having tea with me?" He calmly continued.
