Meng Shenji stepped forward and said: "This is our Heaven Dou Royal Academy. For the Spirit Hall to arrest people here—have you asked us first? Isn't this a bit too much?"
Qian Renyue replied indifferently: "The Spirit Hall is handling fraudsters. Are the three Education Committee Members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy intending to shield them and oppose the Spirit Hall?"
"Handling fraudsters?"
"Shrek Academy has used the name of the Spirit Hall to deceive the masses for many years—false publicity, deliberate fraud—seriously damaging the reputation of our Spirit Hall. Tang San's father coveted my soul bone and, jealous of my talent and afraid I would threaten his son's genius status, chased me thousands of miles and nearly crippled me in the Star Dou Forest. Yu Xiaogang stole an Elder Token from the Spirit Hall and used it to swindle others. These crimes—one after another—does Education Committee Member Meng want to bear responsibility for them?" Qian Renyue looked mockingly at Meng Shenji and the others as well as the members of Shrek.
"You're lying! My father is just a blacksmith. How could he covet your soul bone and chase you?" Tang San asked angrily.
"The Spirit Hall's pursuit order has already been issued. How could it be fake?" Qian Renyue rolled her eyes.
"Forget it. In the end, the matter between the Spirit Hall and the Tang father and son is a personal grievance, so we won't make things difficult for you for that. But the matter of Shrek Academy's false enrollment still has to be settled."
The members of Shrek remained silent—they knew very well that Shrek had indeed used Spirit Hall's name to recruit students in the beginning, and the non-refundable enrollment fees truly could not be justified.
"Private settlement or official settlement?" Qian Renyue asked Flender.
"What… what does private settlement mean? And official settlement?" Flender asked cautiously, deeply wary of Yue Guan standing beside Qian Renyue.
"The Dean is being so polite? Weren't you the one who vowed confidently that Rongrong and I were liars full of nonsense?" Qian Renyue began reopening old accounts.
Yue Guan stared at Flender with the gaze of someone looking at a dead man.
"Your Highness must be joking. It was I who was ignorant back then—I didn't know Your Highness' true abilities. Please instruct us—what counts as official, and what counts as private?"
"For official settlement, naturally Shrek Academy will be abolished, all gold coins refunded to the commoners who originally enrolled, and according to imperial law—those who should go to prison must go to prison, those who should be fined must be fined. And your academy will be barred from participating in any academy-type competitions for ten years, including the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament."
Hearing that Shrek would be abolished, imprisoned, and banned from competition, Flender's eyes turned red from anxiety. He hurriedly asked, "Then… what about private settlement? What is private settlement?"
"Private settlement… after all, I did attend Shrek Academy for a while, and we're all familiar faces. As the Spirit Hall Saintess, of course I can put in some good words for you." Qian Renyue said with a smiling expression.
Flender didn't dare respond.
Qian Renyue continued, "Private settlement means compensation. You damaged the reputation of the Spirit Hall. We still need to spend a lot of money to appease the families who were deceived. We Spirit Hall shouldn't be the only ones paying, right?"
Hearing that Qian Renyue planned to open the lion's mouth wide, Flender's face turned pale. But fearing the Titled Douluo beside her, Flender had to maintain composure and ask, "How much compensation…? Please tell us clearly, Your Highness."
"Let's say… one hundred million." Qian Renyue said cheerfully, fully aware that Flender loved money more than his own life—a single gold coin was like taking his life, let alone a hundred million.
"How much?! Your Highness must be joking!" Flender swallowed the blood rising in his throat and asked with difficulty.
"One hundred million gold coins. Dean Flender, you don't really think the Spirit Hall's losses are that easy to exploit, do you?" Qian Renyue mocked.
"Spirit Hall bullies too far! You're bullying us too far!" Yu Xiaogang sat up from the ground and pointed at Qian Renyue, scolding.
"Yu Xiaogang, you're done pretending to faint? We're talking about Shrek Academy cheating commoners out of money, damaging Spirit Hall's reputation, and false enrollment. It's not your turn yet."
Bang!The classroom door was suddenly shoved open. The members of the Emperor Team (Huangdou Battle Team) walked in.
"Uncle!" Yu Tianheng rushed forward to support Yu Xiaogang.
"Tianheng… Spirit Hall… Spirit Hall is bullying too far…"
"Yu Xiaogang—if you don't need your mouth, donate it to someone who needs one. What do you mean Spirit Hall bullies too far? It's clearly your Shrek Academy that committed fraud and false publicity. You stole an Elder Token and pretended to be someone important." Qian Renyue retorted.
Dugu Yan walked up to stand beside Qian Renyue, her expression unpleasant as she looked at Yu Tianheng.
"Shrek had difficulty recruiting students, so using Spirit Hall's name was a last resort. And our academy produces monster-level students—that gives your Spirit Hall face. How could you demand a hundred million gold coins from us?" Yu Xiaogang retorted dissatisfied.
"Is that so? Shrek uses the name of our Spirit Hall to recruit students, receives our Spirit Hall subsidies, yet forbids their graduates from joining Spirit Hall. That gives us face? High enrollment fees with no refunds, exaggerated death rates during schooling—tell me, how is any of this giving Spirit Hall face? All I see is you eating from our bowl and cursing us while putting it down. Shameless." Qian Renyue was disgusted just speaking to him.
"Hurry up and compensate. Either compensate or get your academy sealed and go to prison. Choose. Don't waste my time." Qian Renyue said impatiently.
"How much? I'll pay." Yu Tianheng supported Yu Xiaogang, glaring angrily at Qian Renyue.
Qian Renyue looked toward Dugu Yan, who simply shook her head slightly. Qian Renyue understood roughly what was going on. She directly said to Yu Tianheng, "One hundred million gold coins—hurry. This is only Shrek's compensation. Yu Xiaogang impersonating a Spirit Hall Elder isn't settled yet."
"One hundred million? Impersonating a Spirit Hall Elder?" Yu Tianheng was shocked. Even the other Emperor Team members looked stunned.
"Give me ten days. I'll find a way to gather the money." Yu Tianheng's face darkened.
"Three days. If I don't see the compensation in three days, don't blame us Spirit Hall for bullying you." Qian Renyue raised three fingers, then continued, "Now, let's talk about Yu Xiaogang impersonating a Spirit Hall Elder."
"That token was given to me. I'm not impersonating." Yu Xiaogang replied stubbornly.
"Tang Hao killed Spirit Hall Elders and chased the Saintess for no reason. He's already wanted. The Haotian Sect's Elder Tokens were revoked long ago. You want to say your Elder Token came from Tang Hao? That means colluding with a wanted criminal—your crime gets heavier." Qian Renyue naturally knew the token came from Tang Hao. Today, she was determined to teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson.
"No—it wasn't." Yu Xiaogang realized dropping Tang Hao's name was not going to work. He immediately changed his story: "It… it was given by Pope Bibi Dong!"
Yu Xiaogang finally thought of an excuse. Even if she found out, she loved him so much—she wouldn't do anything to him. Yu Xiaogang relaxed completely.
"My relationship with Pope Bibi Dong is not something you should know. Hand over the Elder Token now and leave. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Yu Xiaogang straightened up again.
Slap!Qian Renyue, furious, slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face.
"A mere piece of trash dares to drag Pope Bibi Dong into this. Yu Xiaogang, you're looking for death." Killing intent surged in Qian Renyue's eyes.
"Qian Renyue! You've gone too far!" Yu Tianheng hurriedly shielded Yu Xiaogang, pointing angrily at her.
"Qian Renyue—you're looking for death!" Tang San also stepped forward angrily.
