Future Cultivation Plans, Gentle Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan

Early morning.

Shrek Academy was as quiet as ever, as if isolated from the rest of the world.

Outer Court Students were proceeding with their daily classes in an orderly fashion.

The Inner Court was different. They usually had cultivation quotas and generally did not need to attend classes every day, but when the end of the term arrived, it would be very troublesome if they hadn't completed their cultivation tasks.

In more serious cases, they might have to carry out Inspection Group missions.

Compared to hunting soul beasts, the mortality rate of Inspection Group missions was even higher.

On Lake Heart Island, other Inner Court students began their day of cultivation.

Qian Chaoyun woke up very early, sitting cross-legged by the lake to meditate and cultivate, absorbing the power of the morning sun.

He hadn't slept very comfortably last night.

The physical reactions of the original owner told him that a powerhouse at the Titled Douluo level had come to examine his physical condition last night.

Early in the morning, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his Sea of Consciousness had informed him of Yan Shaozhe's arrival.

Qian Chaoyun had guessed that Yan Shaozhe would come to visit.

After all, that person's personality was similar to his Esteemed Teacher, the Grand Elder; both were figures who walked the line between good and evil.

He had encountered the two most prominent figures in Shrek.

Since he was able to purge Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, he could at least consider himself to have some bargaining chips.

In his mind, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help but complain: "This world is really hard to survive in. There aren't many good places for an Angel Soul Master to go. I feel sorry for you, brother."

Qian Chaoyun responded indifferently: "You can go find a New Host when the time comes."

However, upon hearing this, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm became completely anxious and hurriedly retorted.

They were now one entity. If it hadn't offered up its Spiritual Origin before, it might have been possible, but now that it had given its origin to Qian Chaoyun, there was no possibility of finding a New Host.

Moreover, it would never encounter such a suitable host again.

Facing Tian Meng's worries, Qian Chaoyun didn't care much.

The world wasn't that bad yet.

Just then.

Ma Xiaotao rode a trail of fire, emerging from the Sea God Pavilion.

Behind her was the Senior Disciple Sister, Zhang Lexuan.

Ma Xiaotao was very happy to see Qian Chaoyun.

After all, he was the only one willing to help her suppress her evil fire, so she felt she had to take good care of him no matter what.

Ma Xiaotao stopped beside Qian Chaoyun and asked with a smile, "How did you rest, Little Brother? Shrek's cultivation environment is pretty good, isn't it?"

"It's quite good."

Qian Chaoyun responded with a smile, though in his heart, he was busy greeting someone's family members.

Yan Shaozhe's arrival had kept him from getting a good night's sleep.

Ma Xiaotao beamed and said, "That's good. Did you eat the compensation that Senior Disciple Sister gave you yesterday? It's not that I'm coveting your things, but I'm worried that after you survived in the Star Dou Forest for so long, your body must be in poor condition. Eating some Whale Rubber to nourish your body is the best thing for you."

Beside them, Zhang Lexuan glared at Xiao Tao and said, "Xiao Tao, you really are muddled, just as reckless as Tang Ya. Little Brother hasn't adjusted his body yet and can't handle such potent supplements right now. Don't worry so much about it."

Scolded like that, Ma Xiaotao immediately quieted down, crossing her hands together, looking a bit at a loss.

She was just concerned about this handsome Little Brother; what was wrong with that?

However, considering the arrangements made by the Resident Elders, Ma Xiaotao didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that the Senior Disciple Sister would add extra training for her.

Qian Chaoyun looked at Ma Xiaotao's embarrassed expression and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

But thinking back to how Ma Xiaotao had called him "Elder Brother" when she saved him yesterday, only for it to change to "Little Brother" now, he felt inexplicably unaccustomed to it.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan leaned over, looked at Qian Chaoyun, and said softly, "Senior Disciple Sister needs to tell you about some circumstances, so you should prepare yourself mentally."

Qian Chaoyun nodded, wanting to hear what Shrek's arrangements were.

Then, Zhang Lexuan began to speak: "Starting from today, you will join our Inner Court to carry out cultivation courses. When the new school year starts in a year and a half, the academy will arrange for you to enter Freshman Class 5. Do you have any objections?"

Qian Chaoyun nodded and said, "No objections. That's great."

If he had been forced to join the Inner Court right from the start, Qian Chaoyun would have suspected that Shrek had some ulterior motives.

As long as everything followed the rules, it was perfect.

Zhang Lexuan also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the child might not be able to accept this treatment.

After all, Qian Chaoyun was a 13-year-old with Four Rings; he had his own pride.

However, there was one more thing Zhang Lexuan had to tell Qian Chaoyun. After mulling it over for a moment, she said, "There is one more important matter. From today on, Elder Xuan will be your nominal teacher for the time being. He will not participate in your actual cultivation; instead, Senior Disciple Sister and Elder Mu will be responsible for your lessons."

"However, Elder Mu only talks about it; he might not necessarily teach you himself. You should be mentally prepared for that."

Hearing this, Qian Chaoyun's eyes widened.

There was not a trace of sadness in his eyes, only a sense of relief, and even a hint of disbelief.

He asked, "Senior Sister, is that really true?"

Zhang Lexuan thought Qian Chaoyun was dissatisfied with the result, so she nodded with a look of regret.

However, Qian Chaoyun wiped away his tears and said, "That is... such a pity. I will have to trouble you from now on, Senior Sister."

This expression left Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan completely stunned.

For some reason, they didn't seem to see the sorrow of losing a teacher in Qian Chaoyun's eyes, but rather a joy of liberation. Was it just an illusion?

As expected, the world of children was not something they could understand.

After everything was settled, Zhang Lexuan considered that Qian Chaoyun had been hungry all night, so she took the little brother who had just joined the academy to the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria for a meal.

As soon as Qian Chaoyun heard they were going to eat, his stomach growled uncontrollably, making Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao burst into laughter.

At the same time, other Inner Courtyard students had finished their day's cultivation and were heading to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Most Inner Courtyard students were at the five-ring cultivation level and did not need to eat every day.

However, the food in the Inner Courtyard was simply too delicious, and since it was all filled with supplements beneficial to Spirit Masters, the students wouldn't let it go to waste even if they weren't hungry.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Lexuan and the others arrived at the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria.

Dozens of exquisite tables were arranged neatly, and the aroma of food could be smelled even before entering.

Zhang Lexuan walked to the service window, found the Inner Courtyard nutritionist, and said softly, "Aunt Lin, please prepare a few nutritional meals for me. From now on, there will be one more little brother coming to eat every day."

Nutritionist Aunt Lin saw Qian Chaoyun sitting at the dining table and then 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, this newcomer, the little brother, looked very much like her son whom she had never met—both were equally handsome and adorable.

Before long, Zhang Lexuan placed the food in front of Qian Chaoyun and said dotingly, "Eat up! You haven't eaten for several days, have you?"

"Mm."

Qian Chaoyun nodded, buried his head, and began to devour the food.

Counting the time, Qian Chaoyun had truly been starving in the Star Dou Great Forest for nearly half a month, which was torture for a thirteen-year-old child.

He was starving!!

Having been hungry for too long, Qian Chaoyun no longer cared about his table manners. Plus, the Inner Courtyard's nutritional meals were truly fantastic, filled with nourishing delicacies in every serving, so he couldn't stop his hands from moving.

Zhang Lexuan rested her chin on her hand, blinking her beautiful eyes as she watched Qian Chaoyun eat. The gentle smile on her face seemed capable of soothing everything.

This little brother was truly hungry; his table manners had become quite unsightly.

But this little brother was truly handsome. Did Spirit Masters of the Angel race come with their own built-in makeup?

Thinking about how she would be responsible for Qian Chaoyun's cultivation curriculum from now on, Zhang Lexuan felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

No girl would refuse a talented and impressive little brother, right?
