Chapter 1672: Dai Yueyan's Pursuit (Please Subscribe)_1

Hearing the two people inside discussing something, Xie Xie became a bit impatient and said, "What are you muttering about? Are we leaving or not?"

Even those who were about to be promoted to inner court students couldn't enter the Inner Court, let alone Dai Yun'er and her companion as exchange students!

At his urging, Dai Yun'er quickly put her things away and then followed the former with Long Yue in tow…

Looking at Xie Xie leading the way, Dai Yun'er asked with a fair bit of curiosity, "Xie Xie, where are we going now?"

At her question, Xie Xie merely glanced at them and said indifferently, "Of course, to eat. It's already midday!"

This statement immediately lit up Dai Yun'er's beautiful eyes with delight as she exclaimed, "Eat? Where are we eating?"

Despite being a princess of the Xingluo Empire, she was truly a foodie at heart!

Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "The cafeteria!"

He had originally wanted to go out for a nice meal, but that fantasy was ruined by running into these two!

After reaching the cafeteria, they found Tang Wulin and the others had already got their food and were sitting at a table eating…

Xie Xie casually said, "Well, I'll go over first. You two can just get your food there. Oh, and remember the cafeteria is pay-your-own-way; the academy doesn't cover it!"

Long Yue's face darkened slightly, "Students have to pay for themselves? Is Shrek Academy really that short on money?"

To think that they even make money off students—it's hard to believe that this is really the number one academy on the Continent!

Dai Yun'er next to him wasn't bothered and chuckled, "Hehe, Big Brother Long, you don't understand. If it's pay-your-own-way, maybe there are a lot of delicious options."

Long Yue was skeptical about that, but still followed her toward the food serving area in the cafeteria…

...

Looking at the food in her plate, Dai Yun'er's mouth twitched as she said, "This… Is this Shrek Academy's cafeteria? The dishes are a bit too… simplistic!"

Compared to the food she had in the Xingluo Empire, it was utterly tasteless!

Long Yue, not mincing words, said, "Yeah, it's far inferior to the meals at Monster Academy!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan mumbled, "I figured that Her Royal Highness the Princess from the Xingluo Empire could hardly get used to this kind of food!"

Ye Xinglan replied calmly, "Right! After all, a school established specifically for the royal family is bound to offer much better treatment in every aspect!"

Xie Xie was annoyed, "If you think the food from the Xingluo Empire is so good, why come to the cafeteria at all?"

Tang Wulin gave them a few meaningful glances and coughed, "Alright, alright, let's all say less!"

It seemed that the misunderstanding on the Giant Wheel had left everyone with a rather poor impression of Dai Yun'er and Long Yue!

Xie Xie curled his lip, unabashedly retorting, "Say less? But isn't that the truth?"

Unable to stand it any longer, Long Yue stood up, glaring at Xie Xie and said, "You guy, can't you speak without being so sarcastic?"

Xie Xie naturally wasn't willing to be intimidated and said disdainfully, "What? You want to fight me? If you don't agree, why not have a one-on-one duel?"

His words drew astonished glances from everyone including Gu Yue…

In a duel, the agile-attack class Xie Xie might not necessarily be a match for the direct-attack class Long Yue!

Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Tang Wulin quickly tried to smooth things over, "Well… Dai Yun'er, Long Yue, they didn't mean to target you. It's just that their impressions are still stuck on the misunderstandings that happened on the Giant Wheel!"

With that remark, Long Yue and Xie Xie glared fiercely at each other before turning their heads away, saying nothing more...

...

The next day, after communicating with Dai Yun'er, Dai Yueyan immediately went to find Dai Tianling!

He started off by saying, "Father, Yun'er and Long Yue have safely arrived at Shrek Academy and haven't been attacked by any evil Soul Masters!"

Dai Tianling's heavy heart lifted at the words, and he stroked his beard as he said, "Hmm! Now that she has arrived at Shrek Academy, I can rest easy!"

But the next second, Dai Yueyan let out a helpless sigh, "However... the situation does not seem as good as we imagined. Yun'er and her group seem to be rejected by the students of the outer courtyard!"

He wasn't very surprised by this because he knew his sister's capricious nature well—apart from those she was familiar with, it was difficult for her to take a liking to most people!

Dai Tianling's eyebrows, which had just relaxed, knotted up again. "What? Yun'er was rejected by the students of the Shrek Outer Court?"

The cherished pearl of the Royal family of Xingluo Empire, how could she be bullied by others!!

Dai Yueyan quickly interjected, "But Father, there's no need to worry. The reason for this is probably due to some misunderstandings that Yun'er had with those outer courtyard students initially! Moreover, with Long Yue there, Yun'er won't be bullied!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Tianling's face darkened and his tone grew colder, "You, lad, can't you get it all out in one go?"

If it were not for the dignity of the royal household, he really wanted to give him a good slap, just as ordinary families might do!

Dai Yueyan pursed his lips, "Father, I didn't say it all at once because I was afraid you would get too agitated..."

If Dai Yun'er had really been bullied at Shrek Academy, Dai Tianling would undoubtedly seek justice by any means necessary!

He knew his father extremely well!

Dai Tianling spoke irritably, "Alright then, apart from Yun'er's matter, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

He did not believe that Dai Yueyan had come to disturb him early in the morning just for this matter.

Dai Yueyan's expression grew gradually more serious, "Indeed, nothing gets past you, Father! Actually, I have a request, and I hope you will agree to it!"

Dai Tianling seemed to have a premonition, "Speak, I'm listening!"

Dai Yueyan spoke deliberately, "Father, I wish... to personally lead the troops of the Xingluo Empire and eradicate the evil Soul Masters!"

As expected, Dai Tianling's demeanor shifted drastically, and he thundered, "Nonsense!! With your strength leading the troops, if you encounter the evil Soul Masters, it's a sure path to death!!"

Dai Yueyan was his most favored child, and if anything were to happen to him, he didn't know what the future would become!

Seeing his father's reaction, Dai Yueyan urgently said, "Father, if you are worried about my ability to command the troops, I can start with the members of the military..."

He wanted to truly contribute to the Xingluo Empire, not just cower within the royal household!

But before he could finish, Dai Tianling, with a look of disappointment as if to say 'you are not the material I hoped you would be,' slapped him...

Feeling the hot sensation on his cheek, Dai Yueyan stood there stunned, "Father..."

Dai Tianling, suppressing the rage in his heart, commanded, "Go back! Do not mention this matter again!"

Dai Yueyan opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately said nothing, turning away dazed and crestfallen...

Watching the latter's retreating figure, Dai Tianling's eyes revealed an intense reluctance...

Finally, with a complex expression, he added one last thing, "If your strength can break through to become a Soul Sage within two years, come back and tell me this same sentence, otherwise, don't bring it up again!"

Perhaps this was his way of giving Dai Yueyan a sliver of hope...
