The conversation with the first dean went smoothly. He was a newly appointed dean of the academy, and he accepted Su Qing's invitation without much consideration.
In contrast, the dean of another long-established academy was extremely arrogant and rude.
"I could never be loyal to a dragon, so you should give up on that idea!"
Su Qing couldn't help but sigh; this was truly an impolite old man.
He and Hong Huohuo beat the other party up!
Since he can't be used by me, there's no need to treat him with any special courtesy. Besides, this old guy is no longer a member of the Academy Alliance, so I don't need to worry about the Academy Alliance causing trouble if I beat him.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I'm willing to join the Dragon Territory!"
The old man had a bruised and swollen face.
Su Qing looked at him in surprise: "Did you do this voluntarily? You weren't forced by anyone, were you?"
"Voluntary, voluntary!"
The old man nodded frantically.
Su Qing scratched her head sheepishly and kicked Hong Huohuo away: "You blind fool, you dare to hit your own family members, that's too much, wait till we get back and see how I deal with you."
Honghong patted his butt indifferently. After all this time, if he still couldn't figure out his nephew's character, he might as well find a lump of iron and smash his head against it!
Su Qing took out paper and pen from her bosom, watched the old man sign his name on the contract, and then handed the employment fee on the contract to the old man.
It was a gold coin, with the number 1000 neatly engraved on the front and Su Qing's portrait on the back.
This is the currency currently designed by Dragon Territory, and it has not yet been officially implemented in the territory.
However, once Su Qing returns, the new currency can be rolled out across the entire Dragon Territory.
The old man's hands trembled as he held the gold coin; for just one coin, he had sold the next thirty years of his life to this dragon.
Su Qing smiled slightly: "The old man has another issue he needs to discuss with you now!"
"Please speak, my lord!"
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head; the old man was very sensible.
"It's like this, regarding the taxation in our territory, the employment tax is 100%, so..."
So the old man looked at the gold coins he had just received and put them back into the dragon's pocket, but his mood wasn't too bad.
Aside from wanting to curse a few times, I don't feel wronged at all.
Anyway, getting a gold coin is no different from working for free, so it's really not a bad deal at all!
Seeing the old man's appearance, Su Qing didn't say anything, even though the salary was a little disappointing.
However, the treatment in Dragon Territory is very good.
They spare no expense on food, lodging, travel, and cultivation resources.
But it's impossible for me to give you the money!
Arrange for the two deans to leave, and prepare for the merger with Dragon Territory and the Academy of Scholars.
At the same time, send Hong Huohuo back to deliver a message: the academy needs to be expanded.
With the addition of four colleges, the number of students and teachers will likely surge. Moreover, based on their performance in this college competition, many people will probably flock to the colleges for the next round of admissions.
Su Qing has begun to consider improving the education system, which is something that needs to be addressed urgently.
So, when will the college competition end?
Su Qing was very dissatisfied with this. Couldn't he just take the reward and leave?
Within his field of vision, Su Qing focused his attention on the City Lord's Mansion, because he noticed that those three guys were having a meeting again. He wondered if they were planning to cause some trouble again!
Su Qing didn't bother with them last time, but if they dare to do anything dishonorable again this time, he wouldn't hesitate to kill those three guys.
"What should we do? Give up first place? Then who among the three of us will leave?"
The first to speak was the white-bearded old man wearing a magic hat, but he took off the hat, revealing his bald head.
"Otherwise what?"
The old man, with his explosive muscles, had a gloomy face. This year's academy competition was being hosted by his High Suo Academy. If his academy was squeezed out of the top three higher academies, he would truly lose face.
"The Northwest Academy Grand Competition is a matter for the human race. How can a dragon be allowed to participate? There must have been a mistake when the invitations were sent out!"
While the two old men fell silent, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up, saying something that caught their attention.
"But that dragon won't let this go so easily, will it?"
"So what? This is our territory, and we have two high-ranking bishops and priests from the temple and the papacy here. That dragon can't cause any trouble!"
At this moment, the three of them burst into laughter, and the gloom in their hearts vanished.
Su Qing looked at the three men who were laughing like idiots and sighed. Without even asking, she knew these three guys were definitely not plotting anything good.
Time flies, and the three days passed quickly.
The people in the square were like the tide, coming and going, coming and going.
Only one of the ten arenas remained, and it was expanded and reinforced considerably.
On the high platform, everyone took their seats one by one.
Su Qing and Hong Huohuo were already seated, yawning boredly.
However, when the other deans who arrived saw the two dragons, their eyes all flickered.
Because each of the two dragons was carrying a knife, its blade gleaming coldly and its presence chilling and intimidating.
It looks like things are going to get interesting today!
The deans of the three higher academies arrived later than usual. By the time they arrived, everyone else had already arrived. They also saw the knives that Su Qing and the other two were carrying, and knew that the visitors were up to no good.
The three exchanged glances, a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.
"Now I will announce the top ten. Those whose names are called, please come forward and draw lots."
Dean Gao Su, with his muscular physique, stood up and began to read out names one by one.
