Chapter 35 Return the favor
Seeing Flanders' sharp gaze, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but shrink his neck, and his chubby little face immediately became sad.
"Teacher, can you not cut it? I'm afraid of the pain."
Flanders sighed: "Alright, alright, stop looking so sad, I won't cut it."
"I don't want your martial soul to be defective, and I don't want your body to be defective."
"Don't worry, as long as there is a possibility, I will definitely solve your martial soul defect problem."
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun's face immediately cleared up, and he said with a playful smile: "Teacher, you are my living parents."
"You've been so good to me, I will definitely take care of you until the end of your life."
"Puchi~" Zhao Wuji suddenly laughed out loud, and instantly received a sharp look from Flanders.
Zhao Wuji suppressed his smile and slapped Ma Hongjun on the forehead.
"You little brat, your teacher is only in his fifties. With his current training speed, he might even outlive you."
Ma Hongjun thought seriously and said, "Isn't this an old immortal?"
All of a sudden, everyone at the scene turned their heads at the same time, not daring to look at Ma Hongjun and Flanders, the master and disciple, anymore. They felt uncomfortable trying not to laugh, but if they didn't they were afraid that Flanders would make things difficult for them later. It was really uncomfortable.
Flanders frowned, looked at the worthless Ma Hongjun, then looked at Shen Feng and Oscar, and shook his head speechlessly.
They are almost the same age, why is there such a big gap?
Inadvertently glancing at Dai Mubai who was trying to hold back his laughter, Flanders was stunned. Is it true that birds of a feather flock together?
These two guys hang out together all day long and have been lazy for a year. They can only stand on the water by treading water. If they were half as troublesome as Xiao Feng and Xiao Ao, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.
Sighing again, Flanders turned and looked at Shen Feng.
"Xiao Feng, can't your Soul Hunter Guild issue tasks? I want to offer a reward for the material information you mentioned earlier. Can you help me figure it out?"
"But you must remember to reduce costs. You must reduce costs."
Speaking of the word "cost", Flanders' hands began to tremble. Asking him to take the money was even more painful than killing him.
Shen Feng thought for a moment: "The reward material information is fine, the price of the information is not that high, it can be done within 10,000 gold soul coins, it's nothing at all."
"But we don't know how long it will take from the time we receive the reward information to the time we get the materials, and we can't delay Hongjun's matter too much."
"I have a substitute here. Although it is not as effective as the ones I mentioned before, it can solve the problem of Junior Hongjun in a short time."
Flanders' face lit up: "You have it? Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's such a waste of emotion."
Shen Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He turned his right hand and took out a completely azure jade token from his wristband.
The jade plate was not big, three fingers wide and one finger long, and it was covered in ice with wisps of cold mist gathering on it.
"This is the Millennium Cold Jade that Xiao Ao and I accidentally obtained. Although it cannot completely solve the problem of Junior Brother Hongjun, it can still help him suppress the evil fire in his body."
"But the age of this thing is really low. It can only be used up to level 40 at most. Beyond level 40, it won't have much effect."
As he spoke, Shen Feng handed the jade token to Flanders.
Flanders excitedly took the jade token, and said with a tone full of gratitude: "Xiao Feng, Xiao Ao, thank you very much. How much is this thing worth? I will buy it with gold soul coins."
In recent years, because of Shen Feng's strategy, Shrek Academy has charged people for guidance and earned nearly 10,000 gold soul coins every year.
Life is getting better and better, and there is hope for the future. Now even the stingy Flanders is gradually becoming wealthy.
Shen Feng smiled and shook his head: "It's just a little thing, not worth much."
"When the dean and Teacher Zhao helped my parents to hunt for the sixth spirit ring, they didn't discuss money either."
"Friendship is priceless. As long as I can help the dean, that's enough."
Oscar also smiled and said, "Yes, Dean, Xiaofeng is right, friendship is priceless." "You brought me to Shrek Academy when I was six years old. For five years, you took care of me like your own child."
"Such a kindness, how can this little thing be compared to it?"
Shen Feng and Oscar don't want Flanders' gold soul coins.
As the saying goes, "A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water." The debt of favor is the hardest to repay.
When Shen Feng's parents broke through level 60, it was Flanders and Zhao Wuji who helped hunt down their sixth soul ring.
According to the price offered by the deputy city lord of Soto City, no, now the city lord, Fels, hunting two soul beasts of about 20,000 years old would cost about 300,000 gold soul coins.
Fortunately for Zhao Wuji, when he was hunting the seventh ring, Shen Rui and Lingna also went to help, which could be considered as repaying the favor.
But Flanders favor has been delayed until now.
If I accept the gold soul coins now, who knows how long this favor will last? Will it take until I help him hunt for the eighth soul ring?
The same reason applies to Oscar.
Since you have decided to follow Shen Feng, you must distinguish between public and private matters as soon as possible, and repay past debts of favor as soon as possible.
He didn't want anyone to come to him in the future with a favor in hand and ask him to do something that would infringe on Shen Feng's interests in exchange for a return.
Flanders looked at Shen Feng, then at Oscar, and clenched the ice-cold jade in his hand. Suddenly, he felt that the jade was quite hot.
He had long understood Shen Feng's thoughts. On the day Shen Feng's family left, he already understood that Shen Feng's family clearly distinguished between public and private matters.
In their eyes, Shrek Academy is just an ordinary academy. They pay to go to school and leave after graduation. They have no sense of belonging to the three words "Shrek" at all.
During Shen Feng's enrollment, everything was based on the principle of equal exchange. Even if you didn't want it, he would make it up to you from other places.
For example, he used the two secret skills of climbing trees and treading water to exchange for the knowledge of the academy, and he used helping to improve the finances of the academy in exchange for the guidance of the teachers of the academy.
For example, the Soto City Lord's Mansion and the Soto City Spirit Hall endorsed Shrek Academy, and this was brought together at the suggestion of Shen Feng.
Shen Feng even left behind the two original soul skills, Boom Fist and Explosive Step, which could allow auxiliary soul masters to possess certain combat capabilities, in Shrek Academy, intending to use them as a reward for their help in hunting soul rings for Shen Rui and Lingna.
Now that I think about it, they even got their own food.
It seems that their family really doesn't owe Shrek Academy anything.
Now, even Oscar's five years of raising him has to be repaid by him by solving Hongjun's martial soul problem?
"Dean? Dean Flanders?"
Shen Feng's shout suddenly awakened Flanders, who was full of thoughts.
"What's wrong? Xiao Feng?"
"I'm talking about Junior Hongjun's spirit ring. Our union has a way to find the Fiery Falcon."
Flanders was shocked. The Fiery Falcon is a fire-type soul beast that lives in active volcanic areas and has a trace of Phoenix blood.
Its level is no less than that of a sub-dragon soul beast with dragon bloodline.
In terms of rarity, the Fiery Falcon of the Phoenix bloodline is rarer than many kinds of sub-dragon soul beasts.
Alas, this method of repaying favors is really confusing. If every student were to be so grateful, it would be great.
"Okay, then I'll ask you to help me with this."
Seeing Flanders accept this kindness, Shen Feng and Oscar smiled at each other, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable relief arose in their hearts.
It is true that being debt-free is a relief, but debts of favor are also debts.
