Xu Sanshi the Simp
Seeing this, Du Busi could not help feeling even prouder.
Mu Xuan, like him, had a complete Body Martial Soul, but in his view, Mu Xuan's talent far surpassed his own.
Even his deceased older brother's gifts could not compare to Mu Xuan's.
In his eyes, Mu Xuan was undoubtedly heaven's way of making up for Du Busi's regrets.
He had lost his brother, only to gain such an extraordinarily gifted junior.
He thought that if his brother knew of it in the underworld, he would surely be very gratified.
But he knew his brother would never come back to life.
After all, the dead could not be brought back.
At that moment, Du Busi swept out a palm and dispelled Zhulong's oppressive might.
Du Busi said smugly to Zhulong:
"Well, Zhulong? Are these disciples of my Body Sect good enough to catch your eye?"
Zhulong replied casually:
"They're passable. Only this black-haired kid is barely worth a look."
"He might be able to compare with the heaven's chosen of our Shrek."
Hearing that, Du Busi could not help scoffing. He was certain Zhulong was bullshitting.
After making his appearance, Du Busi had no desire to stay long. This was Shrek's home turf, after all. He said:
"It's nothing but a war of words. When the Spirit Pagoda Founding Ceremony comes, we'll see what kind of performance your Shrek Academy can put on this time."
He looked at his three disciples and said, "Let's go!"
Having had his say, Du Busi led the members of the Body Sect away toward Shrek City.
And with that, a battle that might have erupted came to nothing.
Down below.
Wang Dong's gaze turned grave.
"What a terrifying Body Sect."
"That Mu Xuan didn't even change expression under Torch Dragon Douluo's oppressive might. I'm afraid he's no worse than that guy Chu Ye."
But Huo Yuhao retorted, "How could senior Chu Ye possibly be inferior to this Mu Xuan?"
Xiao Xiao chimed in:
"Yeah, no matter how formidable Mu Xuan is, how could he possibly beat senior Chu Ye?"
"I bet even if senior Chu Ye fought him with one hand, he still couldn't win."
Listening to them, Wang Dong could not help feeling a head full of black lines.
Those two had turned into a complete fanboy and fangirl of Chu Ye, that king of troublemakers.
Over the next two days.
Shrek City truly sprang to life.
Not just the Body Sect, but the delegations from the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and all the major sects and factions had gathered in Shrek City.
The Body Sect's unconventional greeting had added a whiff of gunpowder to the Spirit Pagoda Founding Ceremony, where undercurrents were already surging.
But what truly set the many factions ablaze was a Level 9 God Sealing Platform.
Rumor had it that the God Sealing Platform contained the sealed embryo of a Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old, and the whole of Shrek City was shaken.
The embryo of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—how precious was that?
A Soul Bone that was certain to drop, and a Soul Ring over a hundred thousand years old.
Numerous factions saw it as something they had to fight for. It could be said that whoever obtained the God Sealing Platform was certain to nurture a powerhouse.
And such a rare treasure was actually going up for auction at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Shrek City. It was enough to make jaws drop.
They could not help wondering: which faction had put it up for auction? They must have some other scheme.
And any faction capable of producing such a treasure had to be a major power.
The Sun Moon Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and the other factions all believed Shrek had put it up for auction.
Xu Jiujiu, a princess of the Star Luo Empire, paid Shrek a personal visit to inquire about it.
But the answer she received was that Shrek Academy had not put it up for auction.
On the contrary, Shrek Academy would also be bidding for it.
Meanwhile, in the Sea God Pavilion, the pavilion elders all voiced their opinions on the Level 9 God Sealing Platform.
This time, however, everyone was in complete agreement.
The God Sealing Platform could very likely strengthen the academy's foundation. It must not fall into another faction's hands; only Shrek Academy could handle it properly.
After deliberating, they ultimately chose Torch Dragon Douluo, Taotie Douluo, and Yan Shaozhe, dean of the Martial Soul Department, to represent Shrek Academy at the auction and secure the Level 9 God Sealing Platform.
At the same time, to ensure nothing went wrong at the Spirit Pagoda Founding Ceremony, the Sea God Pavilion approved a sum of money to buy supplies needed by Chu Ye and the other members of the younger generation and strengthen them.
Chu Ye was naturally delighted.
Since Torch Dragon Douluo was his clone, he could also learn the relevant information.
Having made his preparations early, he took Wang Dong, Tang Ya, and the others to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a blond guy carrying a folding fan walking toward them.
It was Xu Sanshi, one of the Outer Court Twin Stars, whose fame matched Bei Bei's.
Xu Sanshi said sarcastically, "Well, this is rare, Bei Bei. How did you end up hanging around with senior Chu Ye?"
His words were quite hostile toward Chu Ye.
Bei Bei naturally caught the smell of gunpowder in them. He said calmly:
"Senior Chu Ye is our teaching assistant now. Isn't it only natural for him to bring us to the auction?"
"And what are you doing here?"
Bei Bei was quite puzzled as he looked at the jewelry boxes and pill boxes Xu Sanshi was carrying.
Xu Sanshi's expression immediately soured at the question.
When he had first entered the outer court, he had fallen in love at first sight with Jiang Nannan, the so-called number one beauty of the outer court.
Yet after he had pursued her for so many years, Jiang Nannan not only remained indifferent to him but showed particular favor to Chu Ye.
Many times, he had seen Jiang Nannan and Chu Ye walking together, talking and laughing.
It made him feel worse than if he had swallowed a fly.
That was why he had come to the auction this time: to buy some beauty pills and precious jewelry for Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan worked part-time at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
But Jiang Nannan had not given him the least bit of warmth. He had bought the pills and jewelry for nothing; he could not even give them away, because she simply would not accept them.
And now he had run into Chu Ye, who was rumored to be extremely close to Jiang Nannan.
Xu Sanshi already had a belly full of anger. How could he hold it in now?
He stepped in front of Chu Ye and demanded:
"Chu Ye, what kind of love potion did you give Jiang Nannan? Did you threaten her?"
"Every other sentence out of her mouth is about you."
Looking at Xu Sanshi, who had come to provoke him out of nowhere, Chu Ye said calmly:
"Nothing much. Maybe it's because I'm a good person."
Pfft~
Hearing that, Wang Dong could no longer keep a straight face.
The hell you are, Chu Ye. A good person?
If you're a good person, then I, Wang Dong, could be crowned the god of morality!
The trouble you cause in one day probably rivals what others cause in a year, and you call yourself a good person?
Xu Sanshi's expression grew even uglier when he heard that.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I, Xu Sanshi, am some kind of bully and scumbag?"
"Whatever else you say, I, Xu Sanshi, have a better reputation in the outer court than you, don't I?"
Hearing how highly Xu Sanshi thought of himself.
Chu Ye could not be bothered with him and walked straight past him.
In his view, Xu Sanshi was at most a first-rate simp who spent every day being moved by his own devotion.
What a waste of the divine beast bloodline he possessed.
As for Jiang Nannan, the matter was simple.
Back then, for the sake of Fate Points, Chu Ye had casually helped Jiang Nannan through a difficult time, finding a pretext to cure her mother. That was all.
After Jiang Nannan entered Shrek Academy and learned that Chu Ye was her senior, she had never made any secret of her affection for him.
In Chu Ye's view, Jiang Nannan's behavior was more an attempt to repay his kindness. As for how much romantic feeling was mixed in, he had no desire to look into it.
His only goal was Fate Points.
"Chu Ye, stop right there! How dare you ignore me!"
Seeing Chu Ye ignore him, Xu Sanshi could not help growing furious.
With his folding fan in hand, he wanted to catch up.
But the next moment, he froze.
Coming toward them was a graceful figure in a pink-and-white qipao.
It was none other than Jiang Nannan.
But Jiang Nannan's gaze did not fall on Xu Sanshi or any of the others at all.
She was very surprised to see Chu Ye:
"Senior Chu Ye, what are you doing here?"
The radiant smile on her face and the faint blush on her cheeks seemed to bring the entire Treasure Gathering Pavilion to a standstill.
At that moment, Xu Sanshi was like a stone statue.
Jiang Nannan, who was as cold as ice toward him, looked as though she was ready to throw herself at Chu Ye.
The contrast made his eyes turn red!
