Chapter 1674: Despicable Outsider (Please Subscribe)_1

Hearing Dai Yun'er's polite words, Zhen Hua and Mu Ye simply "Hmm"ed noncommittally!

The former inwardly thought, "This young girl doesn't seem as capricious as the rumors suggest; it's probably just hearsay!"

However, why did Tang Wulin and Gu Yue bring the former to the Blacksmith Association?

The latter knew that it was the overwhelming aura of him and Zhen Hua that had made Dai Yun'er act so respectfully; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so courteous!

At this moment, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes turned towards Zhen Hua as she earnestly said, "Teacher, please forgive me for not visiting the Blacksmith Association to see you since I returned to the academy."

Zhen Hua's expression softened, "It's good that you're back. By the way, Gu Yue, have you completed the task you went to do after you left?"

Gu Yue answered seriously, "Yes! It's done, and there should be no more problems!"

Thanks to the mecha gifted by Zhen Hua, the strength of the Soul Masters in the Soul Beast Legion had improved significantly!

Zhen Hua pointed to another chair nearby, indicating, "Very well, this means my assistance was not wasted. Come, sit down and tell me about the recent events!"

Having said that, the two of them walked to one side and started chatting...

Meanwhile, Mu Ye, who was quite familiar with Tang Wulin, pulled him aside and coughed, "Cough cough... Wulin, I heard from Zhen Hua that you looked for me while I was away!"

Tang Wulin was initially stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Mu Ye, at that time I had a very important issue that I needed your help with! Unfortunately... you had returned to the Body Sect."

As if he didn't know, Mu Ye asked, "Has the issue been resolved?"

This was a problem that perhaps only he could solve on the entire Continent!

As expected, Tang Wulin shook his head in disappointment and sighed, "It has not."

Seeing everyone engaged in their own conversations, Dai Yun'er, who was still standing there, couldn't help but feel a bit awkward...

After hesitating for a few seconds, she cautiously said, "Well... since both seniors have something to discuss, I will go look around other parts of the Blacksmith Association first!"

Just standing there, she felt like she was superfluous!

And, from time to time, she had to endure the sharp gazes of Mu Ye and Zhen Hua!

It would be better for her to take a stroll on her own!

Having said that, she turned to leave...

But at that moment, Zhen Hua called out to stop her, "Stop right there!"

Dai Yun'er's whole body tensed, her heart leaping to her throat...

"Ah... Senior Zhen Hua, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhen Hua then suggested, "The Blacksmith Association is vast; you might get lost without someone to guide you. Follow the female guide outside, and she will introduce you to each place!"

Dai Yun'er's face brightened, and her tone became even more respectful. "Thank you, Senior Zhen Hua!"

Just a moment ago, she thought her sudden departure might have upset the former!

Fortunately, that wasn't the case!

The waiting female staff member outside, upon hearing the words, immediately displayed a perfunctory smile and softly said, "Then, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Xingluo Empire, please follow me."

Dai Yun'er replied unfazed, "That would be great, thank you!"

…

On the other side, the atmosphere among Long Yue, Ye Xinglan, and the others became much more relaxed with the departure of Gu Yue and the others!

Yet, it was still a case of staring each other down...

Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes, focusing on Long Yue, "Hey… Long Yue, are your muscles naturally that way, or did you build them through exercise? You look like someone in their twenties or thirties!"

Long Yue glanced at her and replied coldly, "Through exercise! And partly because of my Martial Soul."

Because having a dragon lineage as a Martial Soul meant that one had at least some dragon blood flowing in their veins, and he was no exception!

Xu Xiaoyan said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is!"

Ye Xinglan added, "I still remember the last time at the Xingluo Land exchange tournament, you and Wulin seemed to have fought against each other, right? Although no winner was decided, who do you think is more powerful?"

Since there was no hint of provocation or exclusion in her words, Long Yue wasn't annoyed...

Instead, he replied seriously, "Tang Wulin must have hidden some of his strength. On the surface, I might seem stronger..."

Ye Xinglan continued to press, "And what about in reality?"

Long Yue confidently said, "I am still stronger! I wouldn't dare to claim an overwhelming victory, but I definitely wouldn't lose."

Xie Xie's mouth twitched, and he cast a glance at Ye Xinglan and Xu Xiaoyan, seemingly conveying a message...

"Hey hey!! What are you guys doing? Asking so many pointless questions!"

Just minutes ago, everyone had been excluding him, so why were they now initiating conversation?

And they even fell for that guy's act, how could he stand it?

Little did he know, Xu Xiaoyan cast back a glance at him...

After pondering a moment, Xie Xie suddenly got it...

Immediately looking at Long Yue, he said with a mocking tone, "Heh, stronger than Wulin? That's quite a bold claim when you know that Wulin effortlessly defeated 'that guy'!"

The terror of Yuanen Yehui must be experienced by this "foreigner"!

Long Yue frowned, "That guy? What do you mean?"

The other's tone was clearly dismissive of him!

Xie Xie pointed towards Yuanen Yehui, who was talking with Yue Zhengyu, "Don't say I don't think much of you, but if you can defeat that female student, I will acknowledge that you are stronger than Wulin, and I won't mock you or Dai Yun'er!"

Hearing this, Long Yue's gaze instantly locked onto Yuanen Yehui...

Feeling the aura that she exuded, he narrowed his eyes, "This woman must be a Soul Emperor, but she gives off a very dangerous vibe."

But if even Tang Wulin could win easily, then so could he!

After taking a deep breath, he gave Xie Xie a cold glance, "Fine, I hope you'll keep your word!"

The bigger reason he agreed was to win some respect for himself and Dai Yun'er!

Without further ado, he headed straight towards Yuanen Yehui...

Standing by, Xu Xiaoyan clicked her tongue, "My goodness, Xie Xie, you're too harsh. I just wanted to get him to challenge Yue Zhengyu!"

Xie Xie was startled, and said blankly, "Eh? Did I misunderstand?"

Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "If Long Yue gets beaten too badly and reports back to the Xingluo Empire, causing our relationship with Shrek Academy to worsen, it's all on you!"

Xie Xie's eyes widened, and he ground his teeth, "Damn it, Xu Xiaoyan, you've played me!!"

Let alone a Soul Emperor, even a Soul Sage would only be in for a beating against Yuanen Yehui's terrifying strength!

Xu Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue playfully, "Lalala, it was just a suggestion. You were the one who said it!"

Ye Xinglan looked at Long Yue, who had interrupted Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu, with a pitying gaze, "Long Yue really did challenge Yuanen Yehui!"

In her mind, she could already see the outcome!
