Chapter 3075: Dugu Yan's Guilt_1

At the same time, the Peerless Dragon-Snake Couple had already returned to the sect with Meng Yiran...

Meng Shu looked at the buildings in front of him and spoke from his heart, "We've finally returned safely to the sect. This journey really was full of unexpected dangers that we narrowly escaped from!"

Chao Tianxiang, by his side, chimed in, "Yes, if it hadn't been for Xu Sheng saving us from that abyssal creature's grasp, our legacy could very well have been severed!"

"He's become a benefactor to our entire sect!"

They were already the strongest in the sect; had they perished, it wouldn't have taken long for other sects to swallow them up!

But thankfully none of that happened!!

Only Meng Yiran kept her head down, seemingly lost in thought about something important...

"I wonder how Xu Sheng is doing now, whether he's left the Aquipeia Forest safely!"

Noticing that something was off, Meng Shu reached out and ruffled her head, "Yiran, are you still thinking about that Xu Sheng?"

Meng Yiran snapped out of her thoughts, her face flushing as she said, "I... I'm not, Grandpa, don't talk nonsense!"

Meng Shu pursed his lips and sighed, "Xu Sheng is indeed excellent, and among the younger generation I've seen, he is at the forefront!"

"But precisely because of that, Yiran, you and he are from different worlds!"

In an instant, her expression stiffened...

Chao Tianxiang couldn't help but shoot Meng Shu a glare, pulling Meng Yiran to her side...

"Old man, how can you say that? Are you saying our precious granddaughter is not good enough for Xu Sheng?"

Meng Shu looked deeply into Meng Yiran's eyes and explained, "It's not a question of whether she's good enough. I'm thinking of Yiran's best interests. Xu Sheng's background is likely to be terrifying!"

"Moreover, do you really think he was just lucky, that he happened to save us from the abyssal creature by chance?"

Chao Tianxiang seemed to catch onto something and narrowed her eyes, "Old man, what are you suggesting, that you believe he's the one who killed that abyssal creature?"

"That would be too unbelievable. Even a Hyper Douluo-level expert might not be capable of achieving that!"

It should be noted, they could only contend with it temporarily by using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Meng Shu shook his head, "No, it's unlikely that Xu Sheng could have killed the abyssal creature, but he definitely used some method to save us."

Even with his high opinion of Xu Sheng, he didn't believe he could single-handedly kill an abyssal creature!

Chao Tianxiang fell silent, "This..."

Indeed, the situation as Xu Sheng had described it seemed a little too convenient!

The actual circumstances might be vastly different!

Hearing their conversation, Meng Yiran's expression grew even more dejected...

Do even Grandpa and Grandma think I'm not good enough for Xu Sheng?

Noticing this, Chao Tianxiang spoke up again, "Cough cough... Yiran, don't listen to your grandfather!"

"No matter the background or strength, as long as you find each other agreeable, and you're of similar age, it's not impossible for you to be together!"

Continuing this conversation would probably wound her deeply!

This was not the outcome she wanted to see!

Hearing this, Meng Yiran's confidence was slightly bolstered...

She looked up at her and asked, "Grandma, is it really possible for me to see Xu Sheng again??"

Chao Tianxiang was taken aback and didn't know how to respond...

It was Meng Shu, however, who said with utter sincerity, "Of course, you can. Xu Sheng is so outstanding, he will surely participate in the Continent's Elite Soul Masters Competition in the future. If you work hard in your cultivation, you'll be able to see him then!"

Meng Yiran's eyes lit up, "I understand now. I'll work hard in my cultivation, then participate in the Continent's Elite Soul Masters Competition and get Xu Sheng to notice me!!"

After speaking, he did not wait for their response and left the place...

Chao Tianxiang then looked at Meng Shu again, "Old man, is it really okay for us to deceive Yiran like this?"

Meng Shu shrugged his shoulders, "Look at Yiran's state, if we hadn't answered like that, she probably would have lost her will to practice."

"Besides, I didn't speak recklessly. Xu Sheng, such an outstanding child, is bound to participate in the Continental Soul Master competition!"

"Who knows, they really might meet!"

Chao Tianxiang had nothing more to say and urged, "Alright, old man, let's not stand here foolishly any longer. The sect still has a pile of affairs waiting for us to deal with!"

...

Sky Dou Imperial Royal Academy!

Zhi Lin looked at Qin Ming in front of him expressionlessly and said coldly, "Teacher Qin, it's been so long, and Dugu Yan doesn't seem to have changed at all!"

"I am here this time to notify her of something, to cancel her qualification to stay in team one!"

Qin Ming's pupils shrank, apparently not expecting the other party to make such a move so soon...

He immediately advocated for Dugu Yan, "Commissioner Zhi Lin, don't you think this is a bit too rash?"

"Just give Yan Zi a few more days, and I believe she will definitely recover!"

Zhi Lin's expression still did not change and he said again, "Teacher Qin, I am not here to discuss this with you. Please call Dugu Yan out!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming did not do as the other party had said...

Instead, he continued to plead, "Commissioner Zhi Lin, doing this, you will cause the academy to lose an excellent student!"

Zhi Lin, however, showed a disdainful expression, "An excellent student? Does the current Dugu Yan deserve such a word?"

"Enough, Teacher Qin, I don't wish to waste words with you, just go and call Dugu Yan over!"

In his words, impatience was clearly building!

Qin Ming also became serious, "I apologize, Commissioner Zhi Lin, but I'm afraid I cannot do that!"

"As a teacher of team one, I cannot simply let you strip anyone from team one!"

Zhi Lin's face turned somewhat livid, and he could not help but rebuke, "Teacher Qin, are you meaning to defy the orders of the Education Committee??"

"If you persist in obstructing, don't blame me for requesting to revoke your qualification as a teacher of team one!"

Qin Ming was not intimidated at all, "Even so, my answer remains the same!"

Zhi Lin couldn't help but scoff, "Very well... very well indeed. Since you insist on protecting that Dugu Yan, then don't blame me for not showing any mercy!"

Having said that, he turned around and left without hesitation...

At this moment, Dugu Yan, who had been hiding behind and eavesdropping, walked out with a shamefaced look...

"Teacher Qin, you..."

She had not expected that he would get into a conflict with someone from the Education Committee for her sake!

Seeing her, Qin Ming chuckled lightly, "Yan Zi, did you hear everything just now?"

"Yes!"

"Am I really... going to be stripped of my qualification to stay in team one?"

Dugu Yan clenched her fists, she had not anticipated the situation would turn out like this!

Qin Ming patted his chest, "Don't worry, Yan Zi, no one can kick you out of team one!!"

"Not even the people from the Education Committee!"

As he said this, however, to keep Dugu Yan safe, it seemed he would have to make a trip to Prince Xue Xing!
