However, judging from the aura around the two of them, Jing Hongchen was more inclined to believe they were nobles from the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
After all, the Douluo Three Kingdoms still held the advantage when it came to martial soul cultivation.
And reaching a level of cultivation even he could not see through at such a young age was clearly not something the Sun Moon Empire could have fostered.
They were nobles, after all. Though Jing Hongchen was puzzled, he did not act discourteously.
After exchanging pleasantries, both sides took their seats, and Qian Renxue and Jing Hongchen began their negotiations.
Unable to understand a word of what the two were saying, Wu Xian decisively opened the Group Chat and started idling in the chat.
The moment he entered, he saw Ma Xiaotao's message.
It was late at night. Unable to cultivate due to the effects of her evil fire, Ma Xiaotao had washed up early, lay down on her bed, opened the Chat Group, and posted the grand plan for earning points that she had spent an entire afternoon racking her brains to come up with.
[Ma Xiaotao: Hey, what do you think? If I secretly interfere and keep Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er from sharing a dormitory, could I earn a huge amount of points?]
Wu Xian sucked in a sharp breath when he saw that. She really was trying to get herself killed.
[Wu Xian: I advise you to be kind. You've seen how much Tang San cares about Huo Yuhao, yet you still dare interfere with the two of them meeting. Do you really think Tang San's divine sense won't jump out of the Golden Ancient Tree and give you a hard slap? Or do you think your teacher, a level ninety-five Super Douluo, can stop Tang San? Spare your teacher. He's only a Super Douluo.]
Ma Xiaotao, who had been proud of the idea she had come up with, immediately pulled a long face when she saw Wu Xian's reply.
[Ma Xiaotao: Aaaah, then what am I supposed to do?] [Meng Hongchen: Deal with it cold.]
Ma Xiaotao was too upset to even think about bickering with Meng Hongchen, and she angrily spoke up.
[Ma Xiaotao: Damn Tang San, you dare block my path? You have earned yourself a death sentence.]
Quite a few people in the chat found that amusing.
[Meng Hongchen: How bold. You, a junior, dare insult your ancestor? What an utter reversal of heaven and earth.]
But for Ma Xiaotao, after seeing everything Tang San had done, she had completely lost her reverence for this ancestor.
No matter how glorious Tang San's past had been, it had brought Ma Xiaotao no benefits whatsoever.
With her talent, whether Shrek or Spirit Hall ruled this world, she would still be a favored genius.
Yet Tang San had not only brought her nothing, but had also blocked her path to becoming stronger.
If she could beat him, she would have punched Tang San no matter what.
Sensing Ma Xiaotao's distress, Wu Xian offered a few timely words of comfort.
[Wu Xian: Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Even if Tang San didn't care, you wouldn't have a chance anyway. Because Huo Yuhao has already fallen into my hands. Hehehe.]
Ma Xiaotao, who had been rolling around on her bed, shot upright.
[Ma Xiaotao: What the hell? What did you do to him?] [Wu Xian: Can't say, can't say.] [Ma Xiaotao: You bandit, that's going too far! You didn't even leave me any scraps!]
That was indeed a bit excessive. Wu Xian blushed for three seconds before quickly recovering.
He did not think he had done anything wrong at the time. After all, things had already reached that point. If he had let such a huge pile of points slip away, Wu Xian would not have been able to sleep at night.
Still, although he could not send Huo Yuhao back, he could point Ma Xiaotao toward another path.
[Wu Xian: How about this? I can tell you a way to earn a huge amount of points. Do you want to hear it?]
Ma Xiaotao instantly tossed Huo Yuhao to the back of her mind. Even if Huo Yuhao were standing right in front of her, she would not dare make any major changes.
Just as Wu Xian had said, even her teacher, a Super Douluo, would not be able to withstand a single slap from Tang San's divine sense.
Yan Shaozhe had treated her like his own daughter all these years. She was not about to get Yan Shaozhe killed.
Since Wu Xian was willing to show her a clear path, Ma Xiaotao was naturally delighted.
[Ma Xiaotao: Godfather, big brother, your little sister was foolish just now. Your little sister is kowtowing to you here.] [Meng Hongchen: Eww~ Ma Xiaotao, aren't you Shrek's favored genius? How can you have so little backbone?]
Ma Xiaotao curled her lip at Meng Hongchen's words.
Backbone? What was backbone worth? Was it more important than points and her cultivation?
Besides, this was the Group Chat. There were only a few people here, and they were separated by screens.
Even if they laughed at her, it would not hurt much. It was not as though anyone would come all the way to her just to mock her.
[Wu Xian: I can show you a clear path too, Dream.] [Meng Hongchen: Godfather above, please accept your daughter's bow.]
Wu Xian was somewhat taken aback by Meng Hongchen's instant reply, while Ma Xiaotao was even more disdainful.
[Ma Xiaotao: You're no better than me.]
Wu Xian stopped teasing them.
[Wu Xian: For Ma Xiaotao, the safest and simplest method is to reform Shrek. As long as you carry out a comprehensive reform of Shrek Academy, even if it has only a little substance, you can change many people's fates and earn points until your hands go numb. As for the direction of reform, you can follow Spirit Hall's example.] [Wu Xian: Of course, you can't make too big a move at the start. You can first deal with some of the less intelligent Shrek teachers, such as Zhou Yi. Her backing isn't very strong. Your teacher can definitely protect you. You can also appropriately change the teaching methods. Don't spend all day doing nothing but running, or running with weights.] [Wu Xian: As for Shrek Academy's admission rules, along with all the mess involving the interests of the senior elders, you'll have to wait until you become stronger before you can change those.]
There was no helping it. Because of her strength, Ma Xiaotao would most likely be unable to carry out a complete reform in one go.
But starting with the Shrek teachers would not pose any problem at all for Yan Shaozhe, who controlled the Shrek Martial Soul Department.
If, in the future, she could make Shrek like Spirit Hall, then simply sending students out to help commoners awaken their martial souls would provide a steady stream of points.
As Ma Xiaotao looked over Wu Xian's suggestions, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
She could accomplish some of the things Wu Xian had proposed.
Especially reforming the Shrek teachers. With her strength as a Soul Emperor, she could practically walk sideways among the outer academy's teachers.
Moreover, from what she knew, that teacher named Zhou Yi seemed to be a named supporting character in the story with a certain side plot.
If Ma Xiaotao could punish her to some degree, she would surely gain no small number of points.
As for Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo behind Zhou Yi, her teacher alone could easily suppress them.
More importantly, reforming Shrek would not disturb Tang San's divine consciousness within the Golden Ancient Tree. It could not have been better.
At that thought, she wished dawn would arrive immediately so she could go find her teacher, Yan Shaozhe.
She could already see her future self, having become a god, beckoning to her.
Wu Xian was also somewhat emotional. This was what it meant to have powerful backing.
With just the slightest release of influence, one could change many people's fates.
Even if the points gained from changing them were not much because they were not protagonists, once the numbers added up, it would still be an immeasurable source of income.
