Immediately after, Qian Yu and Wang Dong set off toward the Shrek Outer Court...
Their already enchanting looks now standing together, instantly drew the attention of countless outer courtyard students at Shrek!
One female student exclaimed excitedly, "Look, that's Elder Qian Yu! He's also the only man who joined the Sea God's Pavilion before the age of twenty!"
"Moreover, I've heard from elder sisters in the Inner Court that Elder Qian Yu has reached the level of a Title Douluo! It's said that it's because of his incredible strength, he was directly promoted from an outer courtyard student to a member of the Sea God's Pavilion!"
"He's really handsome, and there's Sister Wang Dong'er next to him, who is unbelievably beautiful, but only a man like Elder Qian Yu would be worthy of her, right?"
"How lucky! I actually met Elder Qian Yu today; I heard that ever since he entered the Sea God's Pavilion, he has never visited the Shrek Outer Court before!"
Upon hearing the admiration from the surrounding outer courtyard students, Wang Dong'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Qian Yu, I didn't expect you, as an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion, to be so popular!"
Qian Yu smiled and said, "Dong'er, being by my side, aren't you also very popular?"
Wang Dong'er pursed her thin lips, "Tch, what do you mean by following you? Even if it was just me, I would be very popular, okay?"
Qian Yu took Wang Dong'er's hand and tightened it a little more, murmuring, "Perhaps it's because of you, that I'm welcomed."
Male students from the Inner Court who followed the pair had an exceedingly unpleasant look on their faces...
They grumbled silently, "My goodness, I'm being treated to a public display of affection by an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, and the worst part is that I can't even express my dissatisfaction boldly."
Is there anything in the world more uncomfortable than this?
Afterward, amid the admiring voices of countless outer courtyard students, Qian Yu and Wang Dong'er arrived outside the main gates of Shrek...
Seeing the arrival of Qian Yu and the others, Xuan Ziwen was the first to call out to him, "Qian Yu!"
But his gaze was sizing up Wang Dong'er by his side!
If he hadn't been mistaken just now, Qian Yu and this unearthly beautiful woman had come hand-in-hand!
Their relationship must not be simple...
Qian Yu glanced at him indifferently and responded, "Hmm, you came to Shrek Academy just to greet me?"
Xuan Ziwen paused, then explained, "Of course not, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy has completely changed; it's not suitable for my research at all! So I thought of seeking shelter at Shrek Academy because I know you."
Wang Dong'er's powder-purple eyes curiously sized up Xuan Ziwen, sensing his formidable strength...
He was at least a Title Douluo-level powerhouse!
Qian Yu replied noncommittally, "An acquaintance? I wouldn't say that we are acquainted."
He probably knew some of the reasons why Xuan Ziwen left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy; it could well be because Juzi, in order to pursue her own objectives, sped up the development of soul tools for warfare!
Whereas Xuan Ziwen's purpose was solely to develop advanced soul tools, and there's a difference between the two!
When Xuan Ziwen heard Qian Yu's blunt response, he said helplessly, "After all, I did teach you about soul tools for several months. Are you really that heartless?"
He teased, "Can't you even introduce me to a small matter like joining Shrek Academy?"
Qian Yu replied expressionlessly, "If you want to join Shrek Academy, you should seek the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion. With your Title Douluo strength and the reputation of a level 9 soul-guidance master, I'm thinking the academy won't refuse you."
Next to him, Wang Dong'er, holding back a smile, reminded him, "Cough, cough... Qian Yu, don't forget that you are also an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion."
Full of curiosity, Xuan Ziwen inquired, "Qian Yu, who is this lady?"
This was the perfect opportunity to ask!
Qian Yu glanced at her without answering...
Wang Dong'er's cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke, "My name is Wang Dong'er, and Qian Yu and I are a couple."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen narrowed his eyes and said, "I thought so!"
He then asked, "Qian Yu, what about Juzi..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qian Yu's icy gaze fixed on him...
Immediately after, a terrifying oppressive force bombarded Xuan Ziwen, leaving him swallowing the words he was about to say...
Xuan Ziwen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Qian Yu with eyes filled with a hint of fear...
What a terrifying power, far stronger than Qian Yu had been years ago; a mere glance was enough to put immense pressure on him, a Titled Douluo!
Qian Yu snorted coldly and casually opened a Nether Space in front of them...
Xuan Ziwen was shocked once more, "To use soul skills without releasing Martial Soul and Soul Rings!!!"
Indeed, Qian Yu was always capable of surprising others at any moment!
Only then did Qian Yu turn his gaze toward Wang Dong'er and spoke, "Dong'er, I will take him to handle some matters at Sea God's Pavilion first."
Wang Dong'er came back to her senses and smiled understandingly, "Mhm!"
"Let's go! I will take you to Sea God's Pavilion!" After receiving Wang Dong's reply, Qian Yu said casually and turned to enter the Nether Space...
Xuan Ziwen shook his head and followed him into the Nether Vortex...
...
Sea God's Pavilion!
All Sea God's Pavilion members were sitting in their seats, naturally, including Xuan Ziwen!
Elder Xuan narrowed his eyes at Xuan Ziwen, "May I know what brings a teacher from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy to our Shrek Academy?"
Elder Xuan looked rather tidy today, having washed his hair and cleaned himself up, so he looked more like a kindly old man!
Xuan Ziwen stood up respectfully, "Elder Xuan, let me cut to the chase. My purpose for coming here is to join your academy!"
Fan Yu expressed his surprise, "Join Shrek Academy?"
This was a level 9 soul-guidance master, even one rank higher than himself!
Would the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy really let such an important person leave?
Xian Lin'er said solemnly, "Teacher Xuan, forgive my bluntness, but why would you want to join our Shrek Academy? The Soul Guidance Device capabilities of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy should be more suitable for you, should they not?"
Xuan Ziwen remained composed, "It's true that the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy is superior to yours, but due to certain reasons, I can no longer conduct research for them."
Qian Duoduo's pupils shrank and he pressed further, "Certain reasons, can you be more specific?"
Xuan Ziwen smiled, "There's no harm in telling. Recently, there has been a serious shift in focus at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy from quality to quantity of soul guidance devices!"
Elder Xuan's eyes sparked with interest, "Quantity?"
Xuan Ziwen confirmed decisively, "Correct, quantity. I suspect that the Sun-Moon Empire needs a large number of soul guidance devices for some form of annexation of other nations, and it seems they are already preparing for it."
"I could not stand this fact, and that's why I left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy to come here!"
Qian Yu, who had been silent, pursed his lips and thought to himself, "So that's how it is. It seems that Juzi is already considering waging war on other nations but has not acted due to incomplete preparations."
It appears Juzi's actions have been too obvious and have begun to attract attention...
Elder Xuan slowly stood up, "If that's truly the case, then Shrek Academy is very much pleased to welcome you!"
Xuan Ziwen's face lit up with joy, knowing that Elder Xuan had accepted his request. He respectfully said, "Thank you, Elder Xuan!"
Elder Xuan glanced at Xuan Ziwen with murky eyes and shook his head, "You don't need to thank me. Just be willing to contribute to Shrek Academy, that's enough!"
To grow and strengthen Shrek Academy was Mu En's greatest wish...
He would naturally do his best to fulfill it...
