Chapter 2693 Temporary Departure_1

On the other side, as soon as Xu Sheng entered the sleeping chamber, he sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat amiss...

Qian Renxue was sitting calmly in her chair, gently lifting the teacup before her and taking a sip...

The Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo stood silently by her side...

Upon seeing Xu Sheng, Serpent Spear Douluo immediately chastised him, "Kid, you actually know to come back. Why did you leave Holy Daughter all alone at the Court Etiquette Academy?"

"That's right, do you not realize the Holy Daughter waited for you there for quite a few hours??"

Xu Sheng, upon hearing this, suddenly came to a realization...

He had thought that Qian Renxue, transformed as Xue Qinghe, was still discussing matters with Tang Yuehua, which is why he left directly...

He had not expected that she would be waiting for him at the Court Etiquette Academy!

Without hesitation, he spoke up, "Ren Xue, I'm sorry. I thought you had come back first!"

Unexpectedly, Qian Renxue didn't even glance at him, silently sipping her tea...

Several seconds later, she finally said, "It's alright, I'm not angry!"

Seeing this, Xu Sheng squinted his eyes, "Really not angry??"

Her emotions were clearly a bit off, as if he had done something wrong...

Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then said softly, "No, after all, you are not truly an Attendant, there's no need for you to be by my side at all times!"

Xu Sheng heard the meaning behind her words and couldn't help but give a bitter smile, "Ren Xue, this is you being angry, right? Could it be because I was talking alone with Xue Ke?"

Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled, and she vehemently denied in excitement, "Xu Sheng, don't talk nonsense. I... I certainly wouldn't get angry over that!"

After saying that, she turned her head aside, not daring to look directly at Xu Sheng...

This action confirmed Xu Sheng's previous thoughts...

"Xue Ke and I didn't talk about much, just chatted a bit about our backgrounds and past experiences!"

Qian Renxue quietly turned back, blinking her amber eyes and muttered softly, "Really... really just that?"

Xu Sheng nodded very seriously, "Mhm! After all, in the future, my partner will only be you, Ren Xue."

Qian Renxue cover her cheeks shyly and whispered, "Who... who is your partner. Things in the future are uncertain!"

Though she said that, for some reason, the resentment in her heart suddenly dissipated by a significant amount...

And even her mood became much more beautiful...

Witnessing the change in Qian Renxue, Serpent Spear Douluo almost crushed his own molars...

"It's done for; the Holy Daughter's demeanor is completely one of jealousy!"

Porcupine Douluo even felt a wave of regret in his heart, "Damn it, had I known, I would have persuaded the Grand Elder to get rid of Xu Sheng. Whatever methods he used, how could he cause such a significant change in the Holy Daughter!"

After the jest, Xu Sheng's expression gradually became serious, and he asked, "Ren Xue, speaking of which, are there any results from the investigation of those mountain ranges?"

It had been several days since the Tiandou Empire dispatched its army...

Qian Renxue just shook her head, indicating she didn't know...

"I'm not sure. If anything is discovered, I suppose those soldiers will report to Xue Ye immediately."

Though he is the Crown Prince, not yet even ten years old, he completely lacks any real power over the Tiandou Empire...

Xu Sheng expressed his understanding, "Mhm, if there is any news, notify me immediately!"

Qian Renxue asked in surprise, "From what you're saying, Xu Sheng, it seems you're preparing to leave the Tiandou Empire Palace??"

Xu Sheng didn't deny it and answered honestly, "Mhm, I need to check out a place. It won't take long, and I'll be back soon!"

Since his appearance had changed the course of history...

What is the situation at Shrek Academy at this moment?

He had to ensure that these factors wouldn't have too great an impact!

Qian Renxue promptly agreed, "I understand. Once I have any news, I'll send Serpent Spear Douluo to notify you."

The Serpent Spear Douluo nearby heard and expressed his displeasure, "Holy Daughter, why should I be the one to notify this guy? Moreover, if we don't know his whereabouts, how can we notify him?"

Working for the former, they would do their best!

But for this Xu Sheng, how extremely displeasing to them!

Qian Renxue also felt there was some sense in that and chimed in, "Mmm, the Serpent Spear Douluo makes a good point. Xu Sheng, where are you headed?"

Xu Sheng pondered for a moment and then gave his answer...

"It should be Shrek Academy!"

Porcupine Douluo raised an eyebrow, "Shrek Academy? What kind of crappy academy is that? Is it within the territory of the Tiandou Empire? I have never even heard about it, Serpent Spear, have you?"

Serpent Spear Douluo also shook his head, "I haven't heard of it either. It might just be an insignificant academy."

They would generally know about the slightly famous academies within the Tiandou Empire...

But this Shrek Academy, judging by the name, sounded incredibly unserious...

Xu Sheng explained without changing his expression, "Although Shrek Academy may be unremarkable now, it will become the number one academy on the Continent in the future!"

This statement caused the pupils of Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo to contract slightly...

Shrek Academy will become the number one academy on the Continent in the future?

Wouldn't that mean it could hinder Martial Soul Hall??

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, didn't give it much thought, "Alright, once there is news, I will send Serpent Spear Douluo to Shrek Academy to notify you!"

"Good! I'll trouble Serpent Spear Douluo with this later on."

Xu Sheng simply gestured, then turned around and left...

Feeling the other party's presence completely vanish, Serpent Spear Douluo spoke with a grave expression, "Holy Daughter, you must have heard as well, this Shrek Academy will become the number one academy on the Continent in the future, and it is very likely to hinder our Martial Soul Hall!"

Porcupine Douluo also coldly said, "That's right. As I've heard, our Martial Soul Hall has recently produced the Golden Generation, in preparation for the future elite Soul Master competition!"

"Although their talents are not as outstanding as yours, Holy Daughter, they are excellent nonetheless. It won't be simple for Shrek Academy to defeat them in the future. Perhaps we should extinguish them before they have the chance to develop."

Qian Renxue did not offer any comment on the suggestion...

Instead, she retorted, "Serpent Spear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, didn't you both not believe Xu Sheng traveled back from the future? Why do you now take his words for granted?"

They were immediately stunned...

Right, they hadn't fully believed Xu Sheng's origin story!

And yet, they found themselves taking his words for granted, unconsciously; this was indeed a contradiction...

In the end, they could only offer a somewhat perfunctory reply...

"Holy Daughter, we are just considering the future. It's better to believe and be prepared than to disbelieve and be caught unawares!"

Qian Renxue finally sighed,"Don't do anything unnecessary, I believe Xu Sheng had his reasons for sharing this information!"

If Shrek Academy was to become a hindrance to Martial Soul Hall in the future, then perhaps it was simply fate!
