The Elders Were Furious-It Was All Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe's Fault!
Seagod Pavilion, all was silent!
After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, all the elders present remained silent for Jiujiu.
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. The reason these elders previously supported the Martial Soul Department was mainly because they were born in the Martial Soul Department and had a special feeling for the Martial Soul Department, which is understandable.
But after listening to Huo Yuhao's story, they were all moved.
Yes! Put yourself in their shoes. If it were them, they would choose Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi, who looked down on them before but changed their minds later.
Or would they choose someone like Xian Lin'er, who has always been by their side and has always helped them in every way?
Even a fool would know which option to choose.
So at this moment, each of these elders was cursing Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi in their hearts!
It's all because of those two blind fools that this child's heart has been completely chilled!
It's perfectly normal that people are unwilling to join the Martial Soul Department now!
Therefore, even though the other elders present all had a deep affection for the Martial Soul Department.
But now, they are too ashamed to try to persuade Huo Yuhao.
They themselves are ashamed!
Yan Shaozhe said to Huo Yuhao:
"No one is perfect. Huo Yuhao, as a man, you should have a broad mind and not hold grudges over trivial matters. Otherwise, you will never achieve great things in the future."
"Furthermore, only tangible benefits are real. All the effort our Martial Soul Department has put in is for your own good. Only we can cultivate your Ultimate Martial Soul, and only our Martial Soul Department can help you obtain perfect Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
"So I hope you will continue to think about it carefully."
Xuan Zi, standing to one side, also spoke up:
"I admit I misjudged you before. To make up for my mistake, I am willing to personally take you as my disciple and impart all the knowledge I have acquired in my life. Young man, don't be ungrateful. There are countless people in this world who want to be my disciple. Just go out and ask around about my reputation Gluttony Douluo."
Huo Yuhao simply shook his head. "My mind is made up. As for my future, I won't trouble you two to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe exchanged glances, clearly showing their displeasure at Huo Yuhao's actions, which showed them no respect whatsoever in front of everyone.
But before the two of them could speak again, Mu En spoke up from the side:
"Child, since you have made up your mind, we will respect your opinion."
Now he was too embarrassed to suggest that Huo Yuhao cultivate both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department, so Mu En said to Huo Yuhao:
"Although it might be a pity that you couldn't join the Martial Soul Department, child, there's something about you that Grandpa admires. Do you know what it is?"
"You are grateful and won't betray those who helped you. You did very well this time."
"Although the conditions offered by the Martial Soul Department are very favorable, you have never forgotten the Soul Tool Department that helped you back then, and that is enough. Child, I hope that you can always stay true to yourself in the future and not become the kind of person who forgets righteousness for personal gain."
At this point, Mu En directly gave Huo Yuhao a token.
"This token, the Seagod Token's Token, grants you free access to the Seagod Pavilion, and you can also find me directly within the Seagod Pavilion. Of course, I'll probably be outside your dorm most of the time, hahaha!"
"In short, child, I respect your choice and am proud of it. However, Lin'er's attainments in Martial Soul are not that profound. If you encounter any problems in cultivation in the future, you can come to me for advice. This is not overstepping your bounds, because I am Lin'er's teacher. Since you have become his disciple, you should call me Grandmaster."
Huo Yuhao still had a good impression of Mu En, and most importantly, he was the only one among so many people present who stood up to speak the truth. Considering his relationship with Xian Lin'er, Huo Yuhao treated him very well. "Thank you, Grandmaster."
Mu En smiled and nodded, then looked at Xian Lin'er and said, "Lin'er, you've suffered so much these past years."
"You're right, the academy is too biased towards the Martial Soul Department, but you also have to understand the elders. After all, the Soul Tool Department is a relatively new development in our academy, while the Martial Soul Department has been developing for many years. The elders have a hundred-year-old affection for the Martial Soul Department, so you should also be understanding of them."
"However, after this incident, everyone should be aware of their previous problems. Therefore, the academy should try its best to support the Soul Tool Department and should never suppress it as it did before. Some unfair rules should also be revised in time."
Mu En looked at Yan Shaozhe and said, "Yan Shaozhe, you should discuss a plan with the teachers at the academy later, and then let me take a look."
Yan Shaozhe nodded obediently.
Xian Lin'er was overjoyed, beaming from ear to ear. "Thank you, teacher."
Mu En chuckled and said, "Then let's conclude today's meeting here."
Huo Yuhao, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er left first, followed by all the elders of the Shrek Academy.
However, Mu En's words clearly carried weight. At this moment, many elders were already pondering how to compensate Xian Lin'er. After all, they had watched Xian Lin'er grow up.
Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe originally wanted to leave, but Mu En kept them there before they could.
The two remained anxiously inside the Seagod Pavilion, while Mu En waited until everyone had left before looking at them, his tone somewhat stern. "You two, do you know you were wrong this time?"
"When evaluating students, we shouldn't just look at their talent."
"Sometimes character and morality are also very important."
"Also, we need to pay more attention to the students' emotions. The students in the Outer Court are all children. At their age, dignity and self-confidence are very important."
"Sometimes, for the good of the students, it's not always necessary to strictly follow the rules. Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. I know you are doing this to uphold the honor of the Shrek Academy, which is why you are so strict in selecting students."
"But you must remember that we are first and foremost an academy, and the core of everything is to cultivate students, not for some so-called glory."
Mu En gave them a stern lecture.
To be honest, he had long sensed his time was coming to an end. Unfortunately, neither Xuan Zi nor Yan Shaozhe were capable of much improvement, and Xian Lin'er's personality was too volatile. So now there was no one to carry on the family line, which made Mu En really hesitant to leave this world easily.
"However, that child is indeed quite good; he has great potential."
"I just don't know if I can hold on until he grows up."
Mu En sighed to himself and quickly turned to leave.
Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi exchanged a glance. Yan Shaozhe said, "Xuan Zi, I'm sorry. This time, because of my negligence, I not only lost such an excellent student, but I also made you suffer the same criticism as me."
Xuan Zi took a bite of his chicken leg and sneered, "This is none of your business. It's just that this kid is too ungrateful."
"But it's normal for young people. I was a troublemaker when I was young, thinking I was invincible, but I had to accept the reality later on."
Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Xuan Zi, what do you mean?"
Xuan Zi snorted coldly, "Such students should not be let off so easily."
"Since he is not yet aware of the power of the Martial Soul Department, then we will help him realize it."
"When he is thoroughly defeated by other Martial Soul Department students in the future, he will naturally realize just how wrong his choice was today."
"When that time comes, he will naturally beg and kneel to come back and join the Martial Soul Department."
Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Xuan Zi, you see things very clearly!"
