Finally Meeting

Anping felt relieved instead. When he said he was going to visit, he didn't have a detailed plan in mind. He just thought that since they wanted to see him so badly, he would just meet them.

Since Ling Hongchen hadn't contacted Shrek Academy yet, it was better. Anping thought for a moment and said, "Dean Hongchen, I've reconsidered, and it might be a bit rude to visit them like this. Even though we don't have a good relationship with the academy, we should still show some courtesy."

"I was worried that you had already told them. But since you haven't, that's good. Let's change the meeting place to the teahouse across the hotel, and set the time around nine o'clock."

Ling Hongchen said, "That's no problem. I'll contact the people at Shrek right away. I still have some drawings to work on. If there's nothing else, I'll leave you alone. Just call me next time if you need anything. You have my number, right?"

Seeing that Ling Hongchen was trying to get rid of them, Anping quickly pulled Gu Yuena and left. He didn't want to be used as a tool. Seeing Anping run back to his suite, Ling Hongchen had a good idea of what he was thinking, but he didn't expose him. He just shook his head slightly and went back to his room.

Seeing Anping and Gu Yuena come back so soon after they left, Xu Xiaoyan, who was eating, swallowed what was in her mouth and asked, "Sister Nana, why are you back so soon? Wasn't the dean there?"

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly and said, "He was, but it wasn't a very important matter. We just talked for a bit."

After finishing the rest of the breakfast quickly, Xu Xiaoyan asked, "Sister Nana, do you know why the people from Shrek Academy want to see you? Is it because of me?"

Xu Xiaoyan had been too embarrassed to ask when Ling Hongchen was there, but now she finally voiced her doubts.

Gu Yuena said angrily, "What are you thinking? If it was really because of you quitting school, do you think they would only ask to see the two of us? I think it might be because of the injury we caused to Tang Wulin and the others before."

Of course, she couldn't tell him Anping's guess. After all, Xu Xiaoyan was too weak to handle too much information. It was not good for him to know too much.

Hearing what Gu Yuena said, Xu Xiaoyan thought that it was possible and said, "That makes sense. I remember that after Holy Spirit Douluo saved Tang Wulin, the first thing she wanted to do was to meet you. By the way, when you left in such a hurry, didn't you expect that Holy Spirit Douluo would come to rescue Tang Wulin?"

Looking at Xu Xiaoyan's curious face, Anping explained, "That was part of the reason. It was too awkward to meet them right after we hurt their favorite student. But I didn't expect them to be so persistent. Everything is over, but they are still chasing us to Skysea City."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement and then said, "Speaking of which, Teacher Wu's behavior before was indeed a bit excessive. I didn't expect that he would act so provocatively in such a cold manner."

Anping shook his head slightly and said, "It's actually understandable. After all, Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Academy are rivals. They just assumed that it would be the two of us who would represent Sun Moon Academy."

Xu Xiaoyan retorted, "That's not true. He had already guessed that Sun Moon Academy would let you fight. He said that the reason why he chose Sun Moon Academy was so that we could defeat you once and win back Shrek's glory."

"And he also said that the reason why he was so provocative was that he was afraid that if he didn't do that, you two might not fight."

Hearing Xu Xiaoyan say that Wu Zhangkong had predicted that he and Gu Yuena would show up, Anping looked surprised. He had always thought that the reason why Wu Zhangkong led the students to challenge Sun Moon Academy in such a way was because he felt that Anping and Gu Yuena wouldn't fight.

But before Xu Xiaoyan could answer her question, Gu Yuena spoke first. "I guess Xiaoyan is talking about what happened during the Skysea Alliance competition a few years ago."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded in confirmation. "That's right. Although the bet between you and Shrek Academy wasn't made public at the time, it wasn't a secret within the academy."

"Also, when we were in Eastsea City, whether it was daily training or the experience of ascending the spirit platform, you put too much pressure on Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. Teacher Wu wanted to defeat you two to boost their confidence."

Gu Yuena took over Xu Xiaoyan's words with a light smile and said, "What Wu Zhangkong didn't expect was that even after several years, we still beat them so badly, right?"

Xu Xiaoyan felt a bit disheartened and said, "Don't talk about them. Even I thought that after so many years of practice, even if we lost, we would lose with dignity. I know that you have made more progress in the past few years."

Gu Yuena reached out to rub Xu Xiaoyan's head and comforted her. "We are in a special situation. You are very powerful too. You don't need to compare yourself with us. Besides, your martial spirit has evolved now, and it will definitely be better in the future."

Xu Xiaoyan knew that Gu Yuena was trying to cheer her up, so he said in a coquettish tone, "It's not that I want to compete with you. Apart from Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, you are the ones I have the most contact with among my peers."

At that moment, Anping received a message from Ling Hongchen, which said that Shrek Academy had agreed to the time and place of their meeting. He also told him and Gu Yuena not to clash with them.

Gu Yuena was sitting next to Anping. When Anping looked at his phone, she naturally saw the content of the message and said, "Xiaoyan, Anping and I are going to meet with Shrek's people to see what they want. If you feel bored, you can hang out with Xue Liushuang and the others."

It was impossible for Sun Moon Academy to only let the three of them participate in the exchange activities. Long Chen and Xue Liushuang were also here this time. After all, they were the real members of Sun Moon Academy. Anping and Gu Yuena were only considered graduate students.

The main reason why Anping and Gu Yuena were invited to join the team was because the academy cared about their reputation, and the two of them were about to go to the Star Luo Continent. Gu Yuena agreed right away when she saw that Xu Xiaoyan was also on the team.

Xu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "It's fine with me. Just go and don't keep them waiting. After all, they are Atlas Douluo and Holy Spirit Douluo."

Although Xu Xiaoyan was also curious about what the people from Shrek Academy wanted from Anping and Gu Yuena, and Gu Yuena had asked her if she wanted to go with them before, she knew that it would be too awkward to follow them since she had dropped out of Shrek Academy.

After checking the time, they saw that it was almost nine o'clock. Anping and Gu Yuena headed straight to the teahouse. Because Sun Moon Academy and Shrek were enemies, they didn't even book the same hotel.

When they arrived at the teahouse, they first told Di Tian and the others about Yun Ming's arrival, and then Anping completely concealed the aura of Di Tian and the others with the bracelets.

Finally, they used magic to slightly alter the teahouse owner's perception, making him think that the relationship between them and Di Tian and the others was just that of strangers.

After completing a series of preparations, Anping told the teahouse owner that if anyone came looking for them, he would bring them to the private room next to Di Tian and the others. Then Anping and Gu Yuena quietly waited for Yun Ming's arrival in their private room.

Anping and Gu Yuena didn't have to wait long. About ten minutes before nine o'clock, there was a knock on the private room door.

"Please come in." Gu Yuena's melodious voice sounded, and the teahouse owner walked in with a man in black and a woman in a light green dress.

Anping took a quick glance and saw that the man looked to be in his twenties, with an elegant temperament and gentle eyes, just like an ordinary person.

The woman looked to be in her twenties, with a beautiful face, radiating a faint aura of life, and a gentle smile on her face, which made people want to get close to her.

Anping recognized them as Yun Ming and Yali, and told the teahouse owner to leave. After the teahouse owner left the private room and closed the door, Anping and Gu Yuena stood up and saluted. "We have seen His Majesty Atlas and Her Majesty the Holy Spirit."

Yun Ming smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's not easy to meet you."
