"Let's go!"
The teacher from Blue Sunshine Academy shook his head at the dilapidated and messy house, not wanting to get involved. He led his students, intending to leave.
"Are you all friends from Blue Sunshine Academy?" Luo Yu called out to them.
The Blue Sunshine Academy teacher turned back awkwardly, saying, "Young man, what's the matter?"
"You all seemed to have broken a few tables just now, shouldn't you offer some compensation?" Luo Yu said gently.
"They, Shrek Academy, provoked us first! They should pay!" A hotheaded student from Blue Sunshine Academy blurted out.
Without a word, the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher pulled the student back. He quickly took out a bag full of coins from his pocket, and without counting, threw it to Luo Yu.
"It's only right to pay for what you break! My mind, I forgot all about it," the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher said with a smile.
Luo Yu hefted the bag, chuckling. "Seems like you gave me too much."
"Please, young friend, keep the extra. Consider it a token of friendship!" Ye Zhiqiu, the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher, said with a smile, a flicker of pained expression hidden in his eyes.
"You're quite interesting."
Luo Yu opened the bag, and there were at least a hundred Gold Soul Coins inside. He took out three with his fingers and tossed the bag back to Ye Zhiqiu.
"Young friend, what is this?" Ye Zhiqiu looked puzzled.
Luo Yu shook his head. "Three is enough to pay for the table. I'm not a bandit."
Ye Zhiqiu's body shook. He immediately reached to return the bag, this time with more sincerity, his intention to befriend him evident.
Luo Yu stopped him with a hand gesture. "You took your money, then you're spending the students'? Instead of giving it to me, you should treat your students to a few good meals. They'll appreciate it."
"May I have your name, young man?" Ye Zhiqiu felt the other was someone he could befriend. Luo Yu had earned his respect, and not just through his strength.
The entire restaurant had witnessed the interaction with Blue Sunshine Academy, and everyone's feelings towards Luo Yu were now different.
After Blue Sunshine Academy left, Luo Yu turned around, his fingertips rubbing against the three Gold Soul Coins. He looked at the four still-conscious members of the Shrek Seven Devils, including Ma Hongjun, and said, "The four of you, compensate the hotel for the damages."
"Can we leave after we pay?" Oscar asked preemptively.
"You think you can stay here and eat dirt?" Luo Yu said wryly.
Oscar quickly pulled out a money pouch from his pocket and threw it to Luo Yu.
Luo Yu raised his arm and knocked the pouch back with the back of his hand.
"Not enough money!"
"There are three hundred and twenty Silver Soul Coins in here. That should be more than enough to cover the damage to the tables and chairs," Oscar said, displeased.
"Heh, didn't you hear the price before you started fighting?" Luo Yu sneered. "Seven hundred Gold Soul Coins. Don't even think about shortchanging me."
"You!!" Oscar looked furious.
Luo Yu said, "What? You only feel bad about it when it's time to pay? Why didn't you stop them when they were fighting?"
Oscar questioned, "Didn't you have a part in the restaurant being destroyed?"
"I tried to reason with them, but what happened?" Luo Yu instantly appeared in front of Oscar, looking down at him. "Would those two idiots have stopped and paid up if I hadn't beaten them into submission?"
"Don't give me that look like you're being bullied by the strong. If I had lost, who do you think would be paying right now?"
Oscar was momentarily speechless.
Luo Yu looked around at the others from Shrek Academy, and said, word for word, "Since your creed is that those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocre..."
"Then you must be prepared to pay the price for believing in false principles."
"You're not allowed to question Headmaster Flender's words!" Oscar said angrily, because Flender was his teacher.
Luo Yu sneered, and instantly lunged forward, grabbing Oscar by the neck. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong gasped in shock at the same time.
Oscar's face had already turned a purplish color. Luo Yu's voice grew cold. "Listen, I don't want to lecture you on any grand principles. Remember the feeling of being on the verge of death. Believing in false truths will always come at a cost."
Throwing the barely breathing Oscar aside, Luo Yu sneered. "Today it's Blue Sunshine Academy that's sitting here. If it were the people from the Martial Soul Hall sitting here instead, would you still be able to uphold your so-called spirit of causing trouble?"
The faces of the people from Shrek Academy changed. Luo Yu's words were insightful, hitting them right in the heart.
"I think you're right!" A soft, yet determined voice suddenly rang out.
"Oh?" Luo Yu looked at the short-haired, pretty girl.
The girl reached out her hand to Luo Yu, and said with a bright smile, "I think you make a lot of sense. Can we be friends?"
Luo Yu didn't reach out his hand, and said calmly, "Give me a reason to be friends with you."
"I..."
The girl fell silent. If it were before, she would have said she was the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or that her family was rich, but now she couldn't say it no matter what, and she disappointedly retracted her hand.
"Alright, you should compensate at the price."
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes stared at Luo Yu curiously, her stunning child-like face was silently thinking about something. At this moment, she directly took out her money purse.
"The money I have isn't enough to compensate either," Zhu Zhuqing whispered, handing over her purse.
As the others were feeling the pinch, Ning Rongrong produced a gray exchange voucher and walked over.
"I'll cover this for everyone. This voucher can be exchanged for a thousand Gold Soul Coins at the shops my family runs."
Luo Yu took the gray voucher. The red seal on it bore the words of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He turned to the shop owner and asked, "Boss, can this thing be used?"
The boss didn't speak, but Luo Yu understood his excited expression. He took the voucher and handed it to him.
"I... I can't accept this!" The shop owner looked at Luo Yu gratefully, feeling that this Lord Soul Master was different from others he had encountered. He was actually standing up for him, a commoner.
Luo Yu stuffed it back, saying sternly, "You take this voucher, but you're only allowed to take seven hundred. That's enough to restart your shop. If you dare to take a single coin more, I won't let you off."
"Thank you, but the foundation wasn't damaged. The shop's renovation should only cost five hundred Gold Soul Coins," the shop owner said with a simple smile.
"Good," Luo Yu smiled. The customs of Douluo Continent weren't so bad after all.
"You can go!"
Ma Hongjun was granted amnesty and hurried upstairs. Oscar followed closely behind, both gritting their teeth as if anticipating something.
"Heh."
Luo Yu sneered. Those two ran off so quickly, completely ignoring the Tang San on the ground. He knew exactly what they were thinking.
Zhu Zhuqing, holding Xiao Wu, came to Luo Yu's side and said, "They must have gone to find our teacher."
"Oh?" Luo Yu looked at her, puzzled as to why she would actively tell him this.
"Our teacher is a Soul Sage, and not just any Soul Sage. You should leave quickly."
"Aren't you with them? Why are you warning me?" Luo Yu asked curiously.
Zhu Zhuqing's face still bore a faint red mark, and a different kind of light flickered in her beautiful eyes as she fearlessly met Luo Yu's gaze.
"Because..."
"Just like Rongrong said earlier, I also think you did nothing wrong."
