Are You Complimenting Me, or Indirectly Complimenting Yourself?

Faced with Zhou Yi's questioning, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao both stated their reasons.

What they had not expected was that Xiao Xiao, who usually did not attract much attention, actually possessed Twin Martial Souls.

"If that's the case, then you can indeed take the control path!"

Zhou Yi nodded thoughtfully. Since she had little reason to refuse, she dismissed the three of them.

"Li Changsheng, you have Twin Martial Souls too, don't you?"

Only after everyone had left did Zhou Yi turn her gaze toward the boy before her.

"Did the old man tell you?"

Li Changsheng did not care whether Zhou Yi knew or how she had learned it. This was Shrek Academy, and aside from being his homeroom teacher, she was also Fan Yu's wife. It would have been perfectly reasonable for Mu En or Yan Shaozhe to tell her.

"Not Mu En, but Dean Yan!"

Zhou Yi shook her head and said with a smile, "You brat, you're something else. You actually earned Mu En's favor."

"Just luck. If he hadn't had nothing better to do than sleep outside my dormitory building, I wouldn't have crossed paths with him," Li Changsheng replied blandly with a shrug.

"Then why did you refuse Dean Yan's offer to take you as his disciple?"

Zhou Yi seemed interested. "You should know that he is a Super Douluo. Even across the entire Douluo Continent, there are not many who can stand against him. Once someone like that publicly announces that he is accepting disciples, commoners and nobles alike would do everything in their power to earn Dean Yan's recognition."

She was not saying this without cause. First of all, Yan Shaozhe's cultivation had already reached Rank 95, making him a Super Douluo.

Second, he was the dean of Shrek Academy's Spirit System.

To put it simply, as long as one became Yan Shaozhe's disciple, one would be qualified to contend for the position of dean.

"Being master and disciple depends on fate!"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly. "It's not as though I have to take someone as my master just because they are strong or hold a high position. There's no such rule in this world."

A master-disciple relationship had always been a choice made by both sides. You could choose someone as your disciple, and they could naturally choose someone else as their teacher.

Of course, whether it could work out still depended on reality.

Just as he wanted to take the Grand Pure Daoist Venerable as his master, he could not simply demand that the other party accept him just because he wanted it. That would make no sense.

"During this freshmen assessment, I expect quite a few people will come to watch you. So my requirement for you is this: you must win beautifully. Crush your opponents and bring me the championship!" Zhou Yi ordered.

"I suppose this isn't just your idea. It should also be the intention of those two above," Li Changsheng said with a light laugh, unable to resist teasing her.

Zhou Yi merely smiled. Neither admitting nor denying it, she waved Li Changsheng away to indicate that he could leave.

Sometimes, neither admitting nor denying something was already an answer.

After leaving the classroom, Li Changsheng spotted the three of them in the distance.

Clearly, they had been waiting for him.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going back to prepare properly for tomorrow's assessment matches?"

Li Changsheng walked over and asked.

"The two of us are roommates. If I'm not waiting for you, who should I wait for?" Wang Dong answered first, sounding completely justified.

"I just wanted to know why Teacher Zhou arranged for you to be on a team by yourself," Huo Yuhao said awkwardly, scratching his head.

"M-Me too!"

As she spoke, Xiao Xiao subconsciously glanced at Wang Dong beside her.

"Who knows? Maybe I offended someone and got set up by the higher-ups."

Li Changsheng spoke indifferently. "Whatever. Come what may. If anyone objects, we fight. At worst, I just won't pass. No big deal!"

Wang Dong rolled her eyes dramatically, clearly not believing that nonsense.

If Li Changsheng could not pass, then no one in this freshmen assessment would be able to pass.

"Wang Dong, let's go!"

After speaking, Li Changsheng beckoned to Wang Dong, signaling that it was time for the two of them to leave.

"Oh, coming!"

Just as Wang Dong was about to follow, Xiao Xiao finally could not hold back any longer. Blushing furiously, she asked, "Wang Dong, can we talk?"

"No need!"

Wang Dong was initially stunned, but then she understood. So this girl had taken a liking to her and wanted to date her.

But the problem was, she was a girl. Even if she wanted to date someone, it would be a boy.

"That Xiao Xiao girl seems to be interested in you."

On the way back to the dormitory, Li Changsheng draped an arm over Wang Dong's shoulder and teased, "What, you don't like her?"

"Do you even hear the nonsense coming out of your mouth?"

Wang Dong shot Li Changsheng a glance. Knowing that he was making fun of her, she said helplessly, "Others might not know the reason, but how could you not know? Besides, if I were going to pursue someone, I'd pursue your Sister Nannan. Your Sister Nannan is so beautiful—she's even known as the number one beauty of the Outer Court!"

"Of course!" Li Changsheng raised his head and nodded in complete agreement.

"Then tell me, is your Sister Nannan prettier, or is my Female form prettier?"

Wang Dong's eyes spun as an idea suddenly came to her. Smiling, she asked in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Why is it this question again?"

Li Changsheng frowned slightly. "Obviously, my Sister Nannan is prettier."

"Why? Where am I lacking? And what do you mean, 'again'? Has someone besides me asked you that before?" Wang Dong asked, confused and unconvinced.

"I never said you were lacking. Anyway, in my heart, my Sister Nannan is prettier!"

Li Changsheng was nothing if not biased and guided by his feelings.

He acted the same way toward both Ma Xiaotao and Wang Dong'er.

"So, if feelings aren't taken into account, I'm prettier than her?" Wang Dong seemed to have caught a loophole, and her eyes instantly lit up.

Li Changsheng did not answer. Judging by looks alone, Wang Dong'er was indeed a little more beautiful than Jiang Nannan. But Jiang Nannan's figure and gentle temperament were exactly the kind he liked.

Like Ma Xiaotao, they each had their own charms.

"Not bad. You've got good taste!"

Wang Dong nodded in satisfaction, reaching out to pat Li Changsheng on the shoulder. "As expected, there's a reason you became my roommate. Not only are your talent and intelligence impressive, but your taste is also absolutely unmatched."

"Are you complimenting me, or indirectly complimenting yourself?"

Li Changsheng was speechless. How had he never noticed before that this person was so shameless?
