Chapter 1312: To be honest, it's still very cute! (Subscribe, please)_1

Xu Sheng glanced at Cai Yue'er, who was beside her, and said indifferently, "Hmm, barely counts, I guess!"

Shen Yi was taken aback, "Barely counts? What do you mean by that?"

Seeing this, Cai Yue'er, with a smile, explained, "It's nothing, maybe Elder Xu hasn't gotten used to his identity yet."

Although knowing this was somewhat underhanded, as long as they could get Xu Sheng to join the Sea God's Pavilion, it would benefit the entire Shrek Academy!

After all, given his talent, if nothing unexpected happened, he would at least reach the level of a Hyper Douluo, or even an Ultimate Douluo!

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully, "I see."

Then, her cheeks revealing a gentle smile, she turned to Xu Sheng and said, "Well then, congratulations, Xu... Elder."

The last two words were said with an emphasis...

Cai Yue'er stretched and said languidly, "Then I won't disturb your time together. However, at the academy, it's better to be restrained and not lead students astray with any improper behavior."

These words instantly made Shen Yi's cheeks turn crimson, and she protested coquettishly, "President Cai, what are you talking about! There's nothing... like that between Xu Sheng and me!"

Despite being a Sea God Pavilion Elder who had lived for a century or two, Cai Yue'er still seemed young and vivacious, a unique quality of hers!

Cai Yue'er chuckled, "No need to explain, I understand things about young people. Goodbye then!"

Without waiting for Shen Yi's explanation and after giving her a knowing look, she turned and left...

It seemed like she was ready to tell the other Elders about Xu Sheng agreeing to join the Sea God's Pavilion...

After coming back to her senses, Shen Yi muttered under her breath, "Xu Sheng, President Cai really likes to talk nonsense!"

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, unconcerned, "Perhaps, but after all, Teacher Shen, our relationship in the eyes of others, to say nothing of being alone together like this..."

The next second, as Shrek students who were passing by and spotted the two, they commented in surprise, "Look, isn't that Teacher Xu and Teacher Shen? They really do look good together!"

"They look good together, alright, but who could stand Teacher Shen's temper? Don't forget, the White-haired Witch isn't called that for nothing!"

"I bet a thousand federation coins that Teacher Xu will not be able to stand Teacher Shen's personality and then they'll break up," another wagered.

"Don't be so hard on Teacher Shen. Maybe she'll become gentle with the nourishment of love?"

"Yikes... let's just forget it. The thought of Teacher Shen being gentle gives me goosebumps!"

Hearing these teasing remarks, Shen Yi's face suddenly darkened, and she shot them a cold glare, scolding, "What are you little brats all talking about!"

Her words instantly tightened the students' hearts as they exclaimed in panic, "Hurry, run, the White-haired Witch has noticed us!!"

"It's the same old story, the White-haired Witch is still the White-haired Witch, even with a partner, she doesn't change!"

"Enough, let's hurry and leave, if she catches us, we might lose half our lives!"

Xu Sheng said, somewhat amused, "Teacher Shen, why be so fierce? It might be better to change that temperament of yours."

Seeing his demeanor, Shen Yi felt like he was mocking her, and she couldn't help but clench her teeth, "I... I..."

So not only the Shrek students, but even Xu Sheng thought poorly of her temperament?

But her real self was nothing like that; she became the "White-haired Witch" to better instruct her students!

Xu Sheng, as if seeing through her thoughts, indulgently ruffled her hair and softly reassured, "It's fine, if Teacher Shen doesn't want to change, then just keep it up. Honestly, it's quite cute."

At these words, Shen Yi's beautiful eyes lit up, and her ears flushed with heat, her voice tinged with extreme shyness, "Xu Sheng, what you just said... did you say I'm... cute?"

This was the first time she had ever heard such complimentary words!

In others' mouths, descriptions of her were cold, violent, heartless, terrifying!

Could it be that in Xu Sheng's eyes, I'm truly special?

The feeling of loss at the bottom of my heart suddenly vanished, replaced by a profound sense of hope…

…

At this moment, within the Sea God's Pavilion, the atmosphere was filled with solemnity...

Elder Cai spoke with a serious expression, "The bodies of the teachers who have sacrificed themselves have already been retrieved and buried in the cemetery!"

Yun Ming's eyes showed a trace of firmness as he nodded and said, "Mmh! These teachers are the warriors of Shrek Academy; we must not let their families lose heart!"

Moreover, Sea God's Pavilion also bore responsibility for the loss of so many teachers!

Turbid World's eyes hardened with intense murderous intent, "Furthermore, since those evil Soul Masters had premeditated this event, it means that there are definitely spies among the students of Shrek Academy!"

Tang Yinmeng proposed, "What about the several students who passed on this information? Could they be the ones?"

Feng Wu Yu shook his head, "An investigation was conducted on them a few days ago. They were likely controlled by some soul skill of the evil Soul Masters, but we cannot deny that there may indeed be spies within the academy!"

Ya Li nodded slightly, "If we don't root out these insiders lurking in the academy, I fear greater troubles will arise!"

This time it was an ambush on Shrek Academy's teachers; what if next time it targets the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion?

And in the end, they might act directly against Shrek Academy!

All of these uncertainties remained unknown to everyone.

At that moment, Cai Yue'er walked in, gave a slight nod to Yun Ming and the others, and then sat down in her seat...

She then interrupted aloud, "Pavilion Master, I have something to discuss with the Elders!"

Yun Ming's eyes raised in curiosity and he inquired, "Oh? What is it?"

After taking a deep breath, Cai Yue'er said, "Xu Sheng has agreed to become an Elder of our Sea God's Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, the Elders present were all taken aback...

They exclaimed in surprise, "What? He agreed? Academy President Cai, how did you manage that?"

"I remember we invited Xu Sheng to become an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion several times, but he refused. Why did he agree this time?"

"Elder Cai, you didn't use forceful measures, did you? That would tarnish the reputation of our Sea God's Pavilion!"

"That's right, our Sea God's Pavilion hasn't reached the point where we need to forcibly invite a Soul Sage to join!"

Curiosity also appeared in Yun Ming's eyes as he pursed his lips and asked, "Elder Cai, please elaborate on this matter!"

Then, Cai Yue'er explained the situation with a smile...

Feng Wu Yu suddenly realized and exclaimed, "So that's how it is. Worthy of Elder Cai! Did you anticipate this all along?"

Tang Yinmeng could only offer a wry smile, "No wonder Xu Sheng did not assume the role of the Sea God Pavilion Elder but was still given the privilege. It turns out it was a trap all along!"

Elder Cai coughed and said, "It may be somewhat underhanded, but it is effective!"

Yun Ming shook his head with a sense of admiration, "With this, our Sea God's Pavilion has gained another member. Prepare another seat for tomorrow!"

The rest of the Elders nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Pavilion Master!"
