Chapter 148

"..."

Watching the figures of Ma Xiaotao and Tang Wulin leaving, Ling Luochen wore a look of envy, and finally withdrew her gaze. "Sister..."

"Shrek Academy is full of talent; do you think I can meet my true love here?"

At this moment, Ling Luoxue blinked her eyes and said with anticipation.

Although she hadn't thought about falling in love, who doesn't have a fantasy of a Prince Charming in their heart?

Moreover, Shrek is the number one academy on the Douluo Continent, so there must be many young talents here. For example, her future brother-in-law is the best among them; otherwise, how could he have won her sister's heart?

"Hmm?"

"I suppose so..."

Ling Luochen paused slightly and nodded in response.

The other party's idea was correct; the number of excellent geniuses in Shrek is the largest in the world.

"But you can't have puppy love. There are bad men everywhere, and you can't be deceived, okay?"

But the next moment, she looked at the other party with a serious face, her gaze full of rigor.

Prince Charming and the like should just be thought about in her little head; in this world, where are there so many good men?

Rather than believing in the probability of this appearing, she felt that her simple sister was more likely to be deceived.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not young anymore; I'm not many years younger than you..."

Ling Luochen snorted softly. Her sister said she was young, but this idiot sister of hers was even more of a blank slate when it came to relationships.

If she hadn't come to Shrek Academy, she was afraid the other party wouldn't have been able to pursue her brother-in-law and would have just continued this unrequited love.

"Besides, my requirements for the other half are still very high; they have to meet the same standard as that sister's boyfriend earlier."

Ling Luochen wore a look of seriousness, held up her little finger, and said bluntly.

Her future boyfriend must be super amazing.

She wouldn't ask for him to be on the same level as her brother-in-law, but at least, he would definitely not be worse than that sister's!

"..."

Ling Luochen was silent. Using Wulin as a standard?

If that's the case, her dear sister is destined to be alone for the rest of her life.

"By the way, Sister, when will you take me to see the legendary brother-in-law?"

Ling Luoxue looked at her again and said with anticipation.

"..."

Hearing this, Ling Luochen's gaze inadvertently looked at Tang Wulin and the other person who had already left, and she smiled bitterly.

"..."

"Yan Shaozhe sent me a message?"

At the same time, Xian Lin'er, who had finished bathing, wiped herself dry and looked at the unread message on the communicator, suddenly stunned.

This guy...

He hadn't sent her a message a few times in so many years.

She remembered very clearly that the last communication with the other party was when she was his girlfriend, but that's not important.

What's important is...

"Convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting?"

"And it's to discuss the Soul Guidance Department?"

Xian Lin'er couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, but soon, looking at the message in the communication soul tool, she wore a look of deep thought.

It actually had something to do with the Soul Guidance Department.

Clearly, this meant that even Qian Duoduo, who was not a Sea God Pavilion elder, could be present at this meeting.

After all, although the other party was nothing, he was at least the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department because of her recommendation, but this meeting was convened too coincidentally; after all, she and Qian Duoduo had just returned from the other party earlier.

"What?"

"Why did Yan Shaozhe convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting again?"

Beside her, Qian Duoduo listened to her words with a look of deep thought and couldn't help but ask blankly.

But soon, a smile appeared on his face—a smile of "it's in the bag."

"In my opinion, this Yan Shaozhe must be ready to yield to us. It seems he still knows the importance of our Soul Guidance Department!"

"This time, I must make him bleed heavily!"

Qian Duoduo had a posture of rubbing his hands, a look of joy appearing on his face as he felt triumphant.

Yan Shaozhe had just met them earlier and talked about reopening the Soul Guidance Department, and now he was preparing to convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting regarding the Soul Guidance Department. Isn't this obvious?

Hey, this old thief Yan Shaozhe probably felt embarrassed to say he was compromising in front of his wife, so he just fast-forwarded to convening a Sea God Pavilion meeting.

"He says stop, so we stop; now he says open, so we open. Does he really think our Soul Guidance Department is easy to fool?"

Qian Duoduo snorted coldly, his heart already calculating how to ask for benefits. First, he must have a soul bone, and it must be over fifty thousand years old.

This is for Xian Lin'er; after all, his wife's soul bone slots aren't full yet. With this, maybe her strength will grow rapidly.

Secondly, he also needs a ten-thousand-year soul bone.

As the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, he had endured humiliation for several months and suffered so many blows from the other party; only a good soul bone could wash away the pain.

"It won't be that simple."

Xian Lin'er shook her head upon hearing this, her gaze looking toward the window, whispering to herself.

She knew Yan Shaozhe better than anyone.

He has ideas, vision, and charm...

Of course, he is also a flirt!

She understood Yan Shaozhe just like a farmer understands the land, or a child understands their parents; before the other party even took off his pants, she knew what he was going to take out next.

This time...

How could it be as simple as Qian Duoduo thought?

That afternoon, Inner Court Sea God Pavilion meeting.

Qian Duoduo followed Xian Lin'er there with a humble face; even he didn't dare to be presumptuous here.

There was no other reason; whether in terms of strength or seniority, no one present was below him. Besides Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, they were all old people from the previous era...

He sat down slowly, and he saw that beside Yan Shaozhe not far away, two seats were currently empty. That was the center of the meeting; it was self-evident who would sit there.

"Teacher, you are here."

Not long after, when Mu En arrived here with Xuan Zi's support, the meeting finally began.

"Shaozhe, you can begin."

Mu En glanced at Yan Shaozhe and said indifferently.

"Yes, Teacher."

"I have gathered everyone today to discuss the work of our Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department."

Yan Shaozhe said slowly with a smile on his face.

"I don't think there's anything to talk about. Shaozhe did nothing wrong in this matter; the Soul Guidance Department is useless."

"The Soul Guidance Department is of great significance. Since Shaozhe mentioned this today, I have to say a word: the Soul Guidance Department must start recruiting students; don't let the neighboring Sun and Moon Continent think we are corrupt and stubborn people."

Regarding the views on the Soul Guidance Department, the people present were divided into three opinions: one was neutral, led by the 97th-level Divine Eagle Elder Lin, who had a shallow feeling about the Soul Guidance Department. One was the pro-importance faction, led by Dean Xian Lin'er's mother, Elder Song, who was also a veteran powerhouse of the academy with impressive strength and significant speaking power.

Most importantly, on this matter, Mu En also had some favor for the Soul Guidance Department.

In contrast, there was the dismissive faction—no, it couldn't be called dismissive; it was the disdainful faction, mainly represented by the Gluttonous Douluo Xuan Zi, who always held an opposing opinion.

I don't know if it was because he couldn't eat chicken legs in this kind of occasion, but his opinion was even deeper, as he was already dissatisfied with the Soul Guidance Department.

"Shaozhe, the reconstruction of the Soul Guidance Department is urgent; this is something we Shrek must do."

Elder Song's gaze fell on Yan Shaozhe, and she said earnestly. She had always supported her daughter Xian Lin'er's soul tool construction.

This was not only because she loved her daughter, but also because she could recognize the power of soul tools, rather than seeing them as toys.

"The Soul Guidance Department is ultimately just a minor stream; it is vulnerable before true powerhouses. Instead of wasting time on those things, it is better to practice more and advance further."

Xuan Zi smacked his lips, clearly disagreeing, and shook his head with a frown.

Soul Guidance Department? Just a minor stream.

His martial soul, Gluttony, can swallow the heavens and the earth; if that thing could be eaten, he, Xuan Zi, could swallow it in one bite. How could it be powerful!

"Shaozhe, talk about your recent opinions."

Mu En didn't say anything, but looked toward his disciple. The other party had clearly suspended the Soul Guidance Department before; now that he was reopening it, he must have his own insights.

"My opinion is that the Soul Guidance Department is very necessary."

Yan Shaozhe said with a smile on his face.

"Elder Xuan said before that the Soul Guidance Department is not necessary for us Shrek; this idea is actually very wrong, and it is a very serious mistake."

"Since there is a method that can improve combat effectiveness, it is a good method."

"Everyone in our Shrek Academy should bring out the strengths of every student, letting them learn and succeed in various aspects. If someone has extremely high talent in the soul tool field, how can we not teach them?"

"As for soul tools being just a minor stream and not as powerful as top-tier soul masters, this idea is even more one-sided. Yes, perhaps top-tier Soul Guide Masters are not as good as the most top-tier soul masters, but besides the teacher, who else is among the most top-tier batch of powerhouses in this world?"

"The strength of a level-nine soul tool has already exceeded that of ordinary Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo!"

"Letting go of prejudices against soul tools and developing soul tools is what we in this era should do."

Yan Shaozhe spoke eloquently.

"Hmm!?"

Hearing this, Elder Song's eyes lit up instantly. Yan Shaozhe's current attitude was not at all the same as when he suspended the Soul Guidance Department before.

But thinking about it carefully, the reason the other party was so angry last time was probably not because the Soul Guidance Department was bad, but because Qian Duoduo's disciple didn't follow the rules...

After all, at that time, Qian Duoduo even went to others to ask for justice; even she couldn't stand this kind of operation of blaming the victim, let alone the other party.

So in that situation, she could understand her daughter's choice, but she didn't expect that after a short time, Yan Shaozhe would change his view on the Soul Guidance Department.

It seems that this man, who was once deeply loved by her daughter, truly has his own merits.

"Short-sighted!"

And a certain Chicken Leg Douluo, hearing this, was furious in his heart and instantly gave his evaluation.

Xuan Zi saw that the other party was so contrary to his own ideas, and immediately frowned. Mere soul tools, just utensils; how could they be so powerful! In the end, it's just that you are too weak! You haven't reflected on whether your cultivation has increased or if you've worked hard to practice all these years! You only know how to compromise with external things! "A junior is just a junior!"

"My senior brother was heroic all his life; how could he have such a cowardly disciple..."

"I think what Shaozhe said is quite good."

While Xuan Zi was thinking, Mu En nodded in agreement, looking at Yan Shaozhe with a smile.

Being able to think this way showed that his vision was good.

The other party was able to let go of the consistent prejudices of soul master powerhouses, had such a high awareness of soul tools, and knew that the academy should keep up with the development of the era. Not bad, not bad.

Choosing such an excellent disciple as dean, Shrek's honor will surely not be disgraced! "So my idea is that the Soul Guidance Department should be reopened immediately."

After Yan Shaozhe's remarks were made, seeing that Mu En had no objections, the others also voted in favor, with only Xuan Zi cursing and swearing as he watched this scene, his heart full of anger.

Coward, a coward!

"However, there must be an explanation for the previous suspension of the Soul Guidance Department."

At this moment, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo's ears pricked up instantly. In the former's view, the other party must have an explanation here.

And Qian Duoduo had long been looking forward to this: compensation, compensation!

Yan Shaozhe must give him heavy compensation! "I wonder what Dean Yan means?"

Elder Song asked, not knowing why.

"Before, the reason the Soul Guidance Department was suspended was because the two deans listened to slander; it was clearly their mismanagement, but they blamed me instead."

"This matter has had a huge impact on our Shrek Academy."

Hearing this, Xian Lin'er and Elder Song both frowned, the former secretly thinking "not good."

At the beginning, Fan Yu persuaded Qian Duoduo, and the other party sought her out to ask Yan Shaozhe for justice; this matter was indeed her problem...

And Qian Duoduo was blank at this time.

No...

Shouldn't the other party give him some benefits? Why is he scolding them instead? "But after my investigation, Dean Xian Lin'er is innocent, while Vice Dean Qian Duoduo, as vice dean, distorted the truth and led students to slander the facts."

"I think this is not how a vice dean should act, and his disciple Fan Yu is also unworthy of the position of a leader in the Soul Guidance Department."

Hearing this, Xian Lin'er and the others were silent.

"The people in the Soul Guidance Department are just no good."

"The Soul Guidance Department can stay, but this Qian Duoduo, I don't think there's any need for him to be here. Dismiss him."

At this moment, Xuan Zi, who had long been dissatisfied with the Soul Guidance Department, rarely did something sensible and said coldly.

"Agreed."

Elder Song thought for a long time, and after looking at her daughter, she nodded and said slowly.

The other party was indeed not in the right in this matter, and if the Soul Guidance Department had such a vice dean, it would also be criticized and cause trouble.

"No, I..."

"I really..."

Qian Duoduo panicked. What about his compensation? What about the compensation Yan Shaozhe was supposed to give him?!

How did he end up being suspended without getting the compensation after all that?!

No.

Wasn't Yan Shaozhe the one who needed him? What is this!

"..."

The die was cast. After the meeting, looking at the elders who had already left, and his mother-in-law who had left him with an evaluation of "unpromising," he was silent.

"What are you staring at?"

"Let's go."

Xian Lin'er looked at him with disappointment.

"Dean Xian, please stay; I still have something to say to you alone."

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly.

"What right do you have to talk to my Lin'er..."

Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth, his face full of dissatisfaction, and shouted angrily.

Yan Shaozhe heard this and looked at him playfully, revealing a faint, dangerous smile.

"This former Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department who has already been dismissed, please do not disturb our conversation, OK?"
