Identity Conflict

Xie Xie frowned after hearing Ye Xinglan's words. He said, "So, Le Zhengyu might really be the successor of the Martial Soul Hall. Should we report this to the academy?"

Tang Wulin shook his head slightly and said: "Do you think the academy wouldn't have detected this already? I'm more worried that Le Zhengyu will have trouble because of his identity. The Martial Soul Hall was an evil organization back then, but that was 20,000 years ago."

Ye Xinglan thought about it carefully and realized that Tang Wulin was right. The Holy Angel Family was also a big family, and the academy must have investigated its background. She was worrying for nothing. She nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

"Let's forget about it. This is not something we should worry about. I think we should just tell the truth to the academy." Xie Xie said. "By the way, Yuanen, you've been distracted since the beginning. What are you thinking about?"

Yuanen Yehui, who was called by Xie Xie, didn't seem to hear him and was still in a daze. Xie Xie waved his hand in front of her.

She finally snapped out of it and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel like you've been spacing out since the start. Are you also a descendant of the Martial Soul Hall?" Xie Xie asked worriedly.

Yuanen Yehui said with disgust, pushing Xie Xie's hand away. "No, I just remembered something. I think Le Zhengyu is very annoying, but we should just report his matter to the academy. It's better not to tell anyone else."

She did remember something. When An Ping mentioned Le Zhengyu's identity, the one who felt it the most was Yuanen Yehui. Although she was not a descendant of the Martial Soul Hall, her status as a fallen angel martial soul would also be looked down upon if others found out. It would have a similar effect.

After the people from Shrek Academy moved to another table, Xu Xiaoyan whispered: "Is Le Zhengyu really a descendant of the Martial Soul Hall? He doesn't look like it. I saw him several times at Shrek Academy and he seemed to have a sense of justice."

An Ping said angrily: "Can't the heir of the Martial Soul Hall have a sense of justice? What do you know? And don't you think his holy angel martial soul would influence his character? It's hard to have no sense of justice unless he suppresses it on purpose."

"Martial souls can affect people's personalities?" Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously.

An Ping explained: "Of course, the martial soul is a reflection of the soul, and it doesn't matter much for ordinary people. But the longer a soul master cultivates, the more impact it has on them. For example, most owners of fire-attribute martial souls are prone to anger, while owners of ice-attribute martial souls are usually cold and indifferent."

This was the first time Xu Xiaoyan heard this. She compared it with the soul masters he had met before, and it seemed that AnPing was right. Soul masters with fire attribute spirits did have a bad temper. She thought for a while and said: "So, you mean Le Zhengyu has such a sense of justice because he is affected by the light attribute of the holy angel?"

An Ping shook his head slightly and said: "Not necessarily. It could also be the education he received since childhood. A person's character is influenced by many factors."

"It's so complicated. Martial soul attributes and education." Xu Xiaoyan was a bit confused by An Ping's words, but she didn't care much about it. She changed the topic and said: "So, you really wanted to alienate them?"

An Ping shook his head slightly and said: "Why would I do that? The Holy Angel Family is a big family. Do you think Shrek Academy would let him join without knowing his identity? I just saw someone with an angel martial soul and said something casually."

An Ping was not being completely honest. He did say it casually when he saw Le Zhengyu and wondered about his martial soul origin.

But the message he sent to Le Zhengyu about Tang Wulin's identity was what really drove a wedge between them. After all, now that he was with Gu Yuena, there was a high chance that Shrek Academy would be their enemy in the future.

But An Ping didn't expect that his casual words would have such an effect.

Xu Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue and said: "Okay, but thank you for standing up for me."

Gu Yuena said: "Why are you thanking him? You left Shrek Academy because of us, so he should stand up for you."

"How is your life at Sun Moon Academy? Did those classmates bully you? Do you regret leaving Shrek Academy?" An Ping asked curiously.

Xu Xiaoyan mumbled as she ate: "Apart from the huge difference in the environment, everything else is fine at Sun Moon Academy. The food and accommodation are much better than at Shrek Academy. And I have Nana with me. Who would dare to bully me when my sister is here?"

An Ping was not surprised by Xu Xiaoyan's words. He knew how the work-study students at Shrek Academy were treated.

Gu Yuena, on the other hand, asked curiously: "Is Shrek Academy so bad in terms of food and accommodation? Aren't they supposed to be the best college on the continent?"

She had never heard Xu Xiaoyan mention this issue before. She always thought that Shrek Academy would be a good place, so she never asked Xu Xiaoyan about it.

Xu Xiaoyan whispered: "We were late to register, so we were assigned to be work-study students. The dormitory was just a shabby hut, and the three of us had to share a room. We had to work and earn points by ourselves to eat."

Gu Yuena frowned and said: "That's ridiculous. As the top college on the continent, they shouldn't treat their work-study students like that. Are you sure no one was trying to make things hard for you?"

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head slightly and said: "I don't think so. They said it was a tradition. And I heard that only the talented ones would be chosen as work-study students. Maybe it was to train their willpower?"

"What a strange tradition." Gu Yuena said.

An Ping swallowed his food and said: "I know a bit about this. It might have been inherited from 20,000 years ago. They say that when the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters joined Shrek Academy, the academy was in a small village and the house was rented."

"So Shrek Academy did this to honor the original Shrek Seven Monsters?" Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously.
