Future Training Arrangements, Gentle Senior Disciple Sister Zhang Lexuan (Please Vote, Please Follow)
Morning.
Shrek Academy was as quiet as ever, seeming utterly isolated from the world.
The Outer Court Students carried out their lessons for the day in an orderly fashion.
The Inner Court was different. There were usually training targets, so they did not need to attend classes every day. But when the end of the term came, failing to complete their training tasks would be very troublesome.
In serious cases, they might be sent to carry out Inspection Group missions.
Compared to the casualties of Soul Hunting, Inspection Group missions had an even higher mortality rate.
On Lake Heart Island, the other Inner Court Students began their day of cultivation.
Qian Chaoyun woke early and sat cross-legged beside the lake, meditating and cultivating as he absorbed the power of sunlight.
He had not slept very comfortably the previous night.
The original owner's bodily instincts told him that a Titled Douluo-level expert had come to examine his condition last night.
Early in the morning, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told him through the Sea of Consciousness about Yan Shaozhe's visit.
Qian Chaoyun had guessed that Yan Shaozhe would come calling.
After all, that man had a temperament much like his old esteemed teacher, the Grand Elder. Both were figures who straddled righteousness and evil.
He had encountered Shrek's two greatest figures at once.
Fortunately, being able to remove Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire gave him some leverage.
In his mind, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not help complaining, "This world is hard to get by in. Angel Soul Masters have few good places to go. I feel sorry for you."
Qian Chaoyun replied indifferently, "You can find a new host when the time comes."
However, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm completely panicked at those words and hurriedly refuted him.
They were one now. It might have been possible before it offered up its Spiritual Origin, but now that it had given its origin to Qian Chaoyun, how could it possibly seek out a new host?
Besides, it would never find such a suitable host again.
Qian Chaoyun did not care much about Tian Meng's worries.
This world was not that bad yet.
Just then.
Ma Xiaotao emerged from Sea God Pavilion, riding a blaze of fire.
Senior disciple sister Zhang Lexuan followed behind her.
Ma Xiaotao was delighted when she saw Qian Chaoyun.
After all, he was the only one willing to help her Suppress Evil Fire. No matter what, she had to take good care of him.
Ma Xiaotao stopped beside Qian Chaoyun and asked with a smile, "Little Brother, how was your rest? Shrek's cultivation environment is pretty good, isn't it?"
"It was quite good."
Qian Chaoyun replied with a smile, though inwardly he wanted to greet a certain person's family.
Yan Shaozhe's visit had kept him from getting a good night's rest.
Ma Xiaotao beamed. "That's good. Did you eat the compensation Senior Disciple Sister gave you yesterday? Big Sister isn't coveting your things. I'm just worried that after surviving alone in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long, your health might not be very good. Eating some Whale Rubber to nourish your body would be best."
Beside her, Zhang Lexuan shot Xiaotao a glare. "Xiaotao, you really are muddleheaded, just as reckless as Tang Ya. Little Brother's body has yet to be properly conditioned, so he cannot handle powerful tonics right now. Stop meddling."
After being scolded like that, Ma Xiaotao immediately fell silent. She clasped her small hands together, looking somewhat at a loss.
She was only concerned about this handsome Little Brother. What was wrong with that?
But considering the arrangements of the Resident Elders, Ma Xiaotao did not dare say more, afraid that Senior Disciple Sister would assign her extra training.
Seeing Ma Xiaotao's embarrassed expression, Qian Chaoyun inexplicably wanted to laugh.
But when he remembered that Ma Xiaotao had called him Elder Brother while saving his life yesterday, yet now called him Little Brother, he felt strangely unaccustomed to it.
At that moment, Zhang Lexuan bent down and looked at Qian Chaoyun as she spoke softly. "Senior Sister has something to tell you. You should be mentally prepared."
Qian Chaoyun nodded, wanting to hear Shrek's arrangements.
Then Zhang Lexuan said, "Starting today, you will begin cultivation classes with our Inner Court. When the new students enroll a year and a half from now, the Academy will arrange for you to join Freshman Class 5. Do you have any objections?"
Qian Chaoyun nodded. "No objections. That's great."
If he had been admitted directly into the Inner Court from the start, Qian Chaoyun would instead have suspected that Shrek was plotting something.
Following the rules was perfect.
Zhang Lexuan also breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that the child would not be able to accept this arrangement.
After all, Qian Chaoyun was a thirteen-year-old four-ring Soul Master. He had his pride.
But there was one more important matter Zhang Lexuan had to tell him. After pondering it for a moment, she said, "There is one more important thing. Starting today, Elder Xuan will temporarily be your nominal teacher and will not take part in your cultivation. Senior Sister and Elder Mu will serve as your teachers and instruct you."
"However, Elder Mu merely said so. He may not necessarily teach you, so you should be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing that, Qian Chaoyun's eyes widened.
There was not the slightest sadness in his eyes, only a sense of relief and even disbelief.
He asked, "Senior Sister, really?"
Zhang Lexuan thought Qian Chaoyun was dissatisfied with this outcome and nodded regretfully.
However, Qian Chaoyun wiped at his tears and said, "That's... such a shame. I'll have to trouble you in the future, Senior Sister."
That expression left Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan both dumbfounded.
For some reason, they seemed to see no sorrow in Qian Chaoyun's eyes over losing his Teacher, only the joy of liberation. Was that an illusion?
Sure enough, a child's world was beyond their understanding.
After explaining everything, Zhang Lexuan considered that Qian Chaoyun had gone hungry all night and took the Little Brother who had just joined the Academy to the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria for a meal.
The moment Qian Chaoyun heard they were going to eat, his stomach growled betrayingly, making Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao burst into laughter.
At the same time, the other Inner Court Students also finished their day of cultivation and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Most Inner Court Students had Five Rings cultivation and did not need to eat every day.
But the Inner Court's food was simply too delicious. On top of that, it was all nourishing food beneficial to Soul Masters, so even if the Inner Court Students did not feel like eating, they would not waste it.
Before long, the three arrived at the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria.
Dozens of exquisite tables were arranged neatly inside, and before they even entered, they could smell the fragrance of the food.
Zhang Lexuan went to the serving window, found the Inner Court nutritionist, and called softly, "Aunt Lin, prepare several Nutritional Meals for me. From now on, there'll be one more Little Brother eating here every day."
Nutritionist Aunt Lin saw Qian Chaoyun sitting by the dining table and prepared several Nutritional Meals for Zhang Lexuan.
Considering that the child might not have eaten for several days, Aunt Lin took special care of him.
Mainly because this new Little Brother looked very much like the son she had never met. Both were equally handsome and adorable.
Before long, Zhang Lexuan placed the food before Qian Chaoyun and said fondly, "Eat! You haven't eaten in several days, have you?"
"Mm."
Qian Chaoyun nodded, lowered his head, and began wolfing down the food.
By his reckoning, Qian Chaoyun had truly starved in the Star Dou Great Forest for nearly half a month. For a child of only thirteen, that was torture.
He was starving!!
Having been hungry for so long, Qian Chaoyun had forgotten what table manners were. Combined with how excellent the Inner Court's Nutritional Meals were, with nourishing delicacies at every meal, his hands simply could not stop moving.
Zhang Lexuan propped up her head and watched Qian Chaoyun eat with her beautiful eyes blinking. The gentle smile on her face seemed capable of soothing everything.
This Little Brother was truly hungry. Even his table manners had become unsightly.
But this Little Brother was truly handsome. Did all Soul Masters of the Angel race come with their own makeup technique?
Thinking that she would be responsible for Qian Chaoyun's cultivation lessons in the future, Zhang Lexuan felt indescribably happy.
No girl would refuse a talented and capable Little Brother, right?
