Upon hearing these words, none of the members of the Sea God's Pavilion showed any surprise as they looked at Qian Yu...
Even if Qian Yu had not mentioned it, Elder Mu would certainly have sent him, as who else was closer to Tang Ya and stronger than Qian Yu?
Besides, he had now joined the Sea God's Pavilion, and naturally, they could no longer view him with the same perspective as before...
Elder Song spoke up, "I agree. Based on what Elder Xuan just said, Qian Yu's strength may not even be weaker than ours."
Xian Lin'er also blinked her beautiful eyes and chimed in, "Yeah, I agree too. After all, Qian Yu is probably the least busy member of the Sea God's Pavilion now."
Compared to the newly joined Qian Yu, the other members of the Sea God's Pavilion, including Zhang Lexuan, all had their own missions, so they were very busy!
At this moment, Elder Xuan, who had stopped nibbling on a chicken leg, spoke indifferently, "Qian Yu, harvesting Immortal Herbs requires special techniques and skills, otherwise, even if you harvest them, they'll decay in a short time. Do you understand Immortal Herbs?"
Qian Yu looked at the other members of the Sea God's Pavilion with a calm face and softly said, "Yes."
His Divine Power was affinitive with any Immortal Herb, so he did not need any complex skills to harvest them!
Elder Mu's murky eyes glanced at Qian Yu, "Alright, then this task will be given to Qian Yu,"
He then looked toward Bei Bei, "Bei Bei, you will go with Qian Yu as well!"
Bei Bei nodded and responded, "Yes, Ancestor Xuan!"
He looked at Qian Yu with grateful eyes and thought to himself, "Sure enough, the one Tang Ya and I brought to Shrek Academy is reliable when it counts!"
...
After leaving the Sea God's Pavilion, Bei Bei turned to Qian Yu with a sincere expression, "Qian Yu, congratulations on joining the Sea God's Pavilion, and thank you for helping Little Ya."
Qian Yu glanced at Bei Bei and replied, "Big Brother Bei, there's no need for that. Without you and Sister Tang Ya, I would have probably had a very difficult time back then."
While they were conversing, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Ma Xiaotao walked over from outside.
Xu Sanshi's gaze first fell on Bei Bei. Seeing that his complexion was not bad, he quietly asked, "Bei Bei, what about Tang Ya's situation?"
Bei Bei smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's been taken care of. Ancestor Xuan has assigned me and Qian Yu to harvest Immortal Herbs in the Sunset Forest."
Jiang Nannan's gaze shifted to Qian Yu standing beside Bei Bei and asked in confusion, "Qian Yu, when did you return to Shrek Academy? Weren't you studying Soul Guidance Devices at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy?"
Before Qian Yu could answer, Bei Bei teased, "Nannan, you all can't just call him Qian Yu anymore, you should say Elder Qian Yu."
Shock appeared on the faces of Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan...
Almost in unison, the two exclaimed, "Bei Bei, what do you mean?"
Bei Bei looked to Qian Yu and seriously explained, "Qian Yu has passed Elder Xuan's test by exception and has become an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion."
Xu Sanshi swallowed and said incredulously, "No way... an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion?"
Jiang Nannan's eyes showed an unusual expression, "Qian Yu really is amazing! He must be the first person from the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy to be directly promoted to being an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion."
Ma Xiaotao blinked her beautiful eyes on the side; she had just caught the key part of Bei Bei's remarks...
Thus, she inquired, "Qian Yu, I heard from Bei Bei just now that the two of you are going to harvest Immortal Herbs in the Sunset Forest?"
"Yes, what about it, Sister Xiao Tao?" Qian Yu asked.
Ma Xiaotao's cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke softly, "Qian Yu, I've always felt that using your flames to suppress the evil fire is somewhat curing the symptoms but not the root cause... so I wanted to find a suitable Immortal Herb to completely eradicate the evil fire in my body."
What she actually cared about was not these issues, but rather that Qian Yu's puppet had always been attached to her own shadow...
Every time she showered or engaged in private actions, she felt as if someone was watching...
Understanding dawned in Qian Yu's eyes, "I see. In that case, Sister Xiao Tao, why don't you join us on the trip."
Ma Xiaotao nodded, "Okay!"
Hearing that they were going in search of Immortal Herbs, Xu Sanshi coughed, his eyes full of hope as he turned to Qian Yu and said, "Qian Yu... no, Elder Qian Yu, and Bei Bei as well, do you think Jiang Nannan and I can go with you?"
Though Jiang Nannan felt Xu Sanshi's demeanor was somewhat embarrassing, her eyes also shimmered with eager anticipation…
Qian Yu neither agreed nor declined but instead deferred the decision to Bei Bei, "Big Brother Bei, you decide. I need to go somewhere first; wait for me outside the Academy's main gate."
With that, he vanished in a flash, leaving the inner court of Shrek...
…
After leaving, Qian Yu naturally headed towards the dormitory building of Shrek Outer Court, his gaze lingering on the entrance in front of him…
Gently, he pushed the door open, revealing an interior that had scarcely changed, save for the absence of Wang Dong...
Qian Yu cast a glance at the dusty bed and remarked placidly, "Has it really been so long since I've been at the Academy?"
In the next moment, terrifying Divine Power fluctuations erupted from his body, surging forward…
Instantly, the dust in the entire room vanished, leaving it clean and tidy once again…
Only then did Qian Yu slowly close the door again…
Huo Yuhao, who had all the while been hiding in the shadows, masking his soul power fluctuations, was puzzled…
"Qian Yu?"
He had originally come to look for Wang Dong, not expecting Qian Yu to have gotten there first…
And judging by Qian Yu's expression, Wang Dong was not at Shrek Academy…
Thinking it over, the only possibility was that Wang Dong had returned to his sect…
At that moment, the Skydream Ice Silkworm in his mind urgently spoke, "Yuhao, leave quickly, his aura has grown much stronger! If he discovers you, it's all over!"
The Ice Emperor also graveled, "Yuhao, get out of here! I feel like he's already noticed you."
No sooner had their words fallen than Qian Yu, who had been in front of Huo Yuhao, suddenly turned around, his cold gaze fixing on where the latter was...
His eyes flashed with black light, and Divine Power burst forth explosively…
Huo Yuhao in the distance felt a massive force pulling him, and without any resistance, he was sucked forward…
And thus, he was grasped by the throat with a single hand by Qian Yu, who stared at him with deep and terrifying eyes…
With his throat constricted, unable to breathe, Huo Yuhao struggled, "Cough cough… Qian… Qian Yu, I… I have something to discuss with you."
Hearing Huo Yuhao speak, Qian Yu's grip loosened slightly…
Finally able to breathe, Huo Yuhao gasped frantically, "Huff..."
His pallid complexion eased a bit…
Even though he had already absorbed several hundred-thousand-year soul rings, in Qian Yu's presence, he still felt like he could be casually erased…
Qian Yu's tone was icy as he asked, "What is it?"
Seeing that Qian Yu was willing to listen to his explanation, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed earnestness, "Qian Yu, there seems to be a big misunderstanding between us. I have been pondering, trying to figure out where the conflict originated."
Upon hearing these words, Qian Yu's gaze narrowed slightly…
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, paused for a few seconds, and then…
once again began to speak, "At last, I think I've arrived at a conclusion, that is, Qian Yu, you like Wang Dong, right?"
…
