The outer court teacher looked at another boy and smiled, "Next child, please place your hand on the circular soul tool."
The child confidently nodded, "Mm!"
Then, he placed his palm on the circular soul tool, and the soul tool flashed with a burst of blue light again...
"Soul power rank: level 16!"
The outer court teacher smiled, "You are qualified to join Shrek Academy, please proceed to the second stage!"
"Yes, thank you, teacher!" The little boy politely said before walking towards the outer court teachers sitting in the second stage area...
Qian Yu, who was watching from the back, was suddenly interrupted by several voices...
"Eh! Elder Qian Yu, are you also recruiting for the Tang Sect?"
"With Elder Qian Yu here, it feels like even if we're forced to come, it's a lot more fun!"
Coming back to her senses, Qian Yu glanced at them and recognized it was Dai Yaoheng and the others...
She said helplessly, "You were also forced to come?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yaoheng raised his eyebrows, "Also? Elder Qian Yu, don't tell me you, an Elder of Sea God's Pavilion, were also ordered here by Elder Xuan?"
Xiao Xiao was surprised as well, "No way, Elder Qian Yu of Sea God's Pavilion was also pressured to recruit for the Tang Sect?"
Wu Feng said curiously, "Regardless of what you're saying, listening to it really cheers one up!"
"It wasn't Elder Xuan who asked me to come, but..." Qian Yu's gaze drifted to Tang Wutong standing by her side...
As if telepathic, Tang Wutong turned her head and after seeing Dai Yaoheng and the others standing beside her, she waved and smiled lightly, "Elder brother Dai, so it's you guys helping out."
Seeing this, Dai Yaoheng fell silent for a long while, and they all exclaimed in unison, "Eh–––"
Xiao Xiao shook her head, "Let's go, let's go, who would've thought Elder Qian Yu is whipped too!"
Wu Feng nodded in agreement, "Exactly, suddenly lost all interest..."
Ningtian sighed as well, "And here I thought Elder Qian Yu was different from other men, turns out... eh!"
After saying so, they all sat in the seats that were arranged for them...
Hearing those words just now, Tang Wutong's cheeks burned hot like boiling water, "??? Whipped?"
In her heart, she thought, "I haven't even decided to marry Qian Yu yet!"
Gently stroking a few strands of hair that covered her right cheek, Qian Yu smiled, "Wutong, don't mind them, they're just joking. But if you're the one in charge, I wouldn't mind at all."
Tang Wutong pursed her lips, "Who wants to control you! Pay attention to the front, a student is coming!"
Qian Yu's gaze shifted to the girl who had walked up to him, and he said indifferently, "Please sit down!"
But as soon as the child sat down, looking into Qian Yu's sparkling eyes, she was enchanted, "Big brother, you're so handsome..."
Qian Yu was silent for a moment "..."
He continued, "Tell me your Martial Soul and soul power rank!"
The little girl blinked, "Big brother, my Martial Soul is the Jade Scale Snake, and my soul power rank is level 15!"
Qian Yu nodded slightly, "Would you like to join the Tang Sect?"
The girl looked up curiously, "Tang Sect? Is it a sect? If big brother is there, I'll join!"
Qian Yu's gaze turned to another child, he spoke out, "…Next."
At Qian Yu's words, the girl's face was filled with confusion, "Eh??? That's it?"
Qian Yu glanced at her, repeating, "I said next!"
No sooner had the words fallen than tears began to well up in the corners of the girl's eyes...
"Wuuu wuuu–––"
She turned to leave, crying as she did so, obviously thinking she had been eliminated...
Seeing this, Tang Wutong beside him couldn't help but smile wryly, softly saying, "Qian Yu, how can you do this?"
Having spoken, she turned her gaze to the little girl and smiled, "Little sister, don't cry. What he meant is that you've passed the enrollment assessment and will be part of Shrek Academy from now on!"
Upon seeing Tang Wutong's infectiously warm smile, the girl ceased her crying...
Her gaze fixed on her in amazement, "Pretty sister, are you...are you telling the truth?"
Tang Wutong said again, "Mhm! It's true!"
The girl joyfully said, "Thank you, sister."
Before leaving, the girl even glared fiercely at Qian Yu...
Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes turned back to Qian Yu, explaining, "You definitely need to be patient with children. You're so aloof, they probably thought you were eliminating them!"
Qian Yu's gaze shifted to the others...
Every child almost seemed to be joyously thanking the inner court student who had been asking them questions...
Of course, within them was the exception of Qian Yu!
Qian Yu said in amazement, "Wutong, when did I ever notice you were so compassionate?"
With a twinkle in her pink-purple beautiful eyes, Tang Wutong playfully said, "I used to be called Wang Dong, how did you notice?"
Qian Yu said with a helpless face, "…Alright, you win!"
While they were talking, a little boy timidly approached Qian Yu...
He said in an extremely soft voice, "Um... Big brother?"
Qian Yu suddenly looked up, his icy gaze landing upon him...
It scared the little boy so much that he shuddered, unintentionally glancing towards the gentle-as-water Tang Wutong before...
Decisively, he sidestepped towards her, his face filled with dread as he said to Qian Yu, "Big brother, I won't bother you... I... I'll just stay by sister here!"
Tang Wutong, who was beside Qian Yu, witnessed the whole scene, her thin lips pressed together, not sure what to say...
Qian Yu's previously cold eyes were exactly like when he had fought against evil Soul Masters before!
As for the members of Tang Sect who happened to see this scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter...
Tang Ya couldn't hide her laughter, "Hahaha, Qian Yu, who knew you were so bad with children? This is hilarious!"
Jiang Nannan teased as well, "I think I've just discovered some of Qian Yu's secrets?"
Xu Sanshi said solemnly to Tang Wutong, "Wutong junior sister, I think you should teach Qian Yu how to do it, otherwise all his duties will fall on you today."
Bei Bei nodded in agreement, "Mhm! Indeed..."
Hearing what Bei Bei and the others had said, Tang Wutong turned towards Qian Yu with a smile, explaining, "That... Qian Yu, when you're dealing with kids, you should at least smile at the end."
Qian Yu mused, "I see!"
Although he was still somewhat confused as to why the little brat was frightened, when all he did was glance at him...
A few seconds later, another little boy stood in front of Qian Yu...
This time, Qian Yu learned from his previous mistake and looked up calmly...
The little boy wasn't frightened, and he said a bit shyly, "Big brother..."
Qian Yu thought to himself, "Good, it worked!"
Tang Wutong, who was next to him, sent him an appreciative glance...
The next moment, Qian Yu followed Tang Wutong's advice and smiled at him...
However, to the little boy, this smile seemed incredibly creepy and full of murderous intent...
Instantly, the boy was terrified into tears and bolted towards Tang Wutong...
Then, with a pitiable look on his face, he said to Tang Wutong, "...so...so scary, sister, I'll stay with you!"
Tang Wutong "…"
Qian Yu "…"
