Xuan Zi Wants to Slack Off Again, I Can Only Report Him

Yu Daoyun cleared his throat, a smirk playing on his lips, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Sister, I'll tell you a story from Journey to the West's Eighty-One Tribulations, Zhu Bajie Crashes the Heavenly Wedding."

"It's said that Tang Sanzang took on three disciples and a white dragon horse for his journey. His eldest disciple, Sun Wukong, was immensely powerful. His second disciple, Zhu Bajie, was gluttonous and lustful. His third disciple, Sha Wujing, was diligent and uncomplaining."

"Of these three disciples, Zhu Bajie was the most amusing. Every time their master was captured, he'd clamor about dividing their belongings and returning to Gao Family Village."

"One day, they arrived at Four Saints' Village. Four Bodhisattvas transformed into beautiful maidens, pretending to offer their daughters in marriage to Tang Sanzang. Tang Sanzang, seeking true scriptures, naturally refused."

"At this moment, the lustful Zhu Bajie stepped forward, offering to suffer for his master. He even proposed marrying all four of them. The Bodhisattvas saw an opportunity to play a trick on this pig-headed fellow."

"So, the Bodhisattvas played a game with Zhu Bajie, making him wear a blindfold in a room and play a game. Whoever he caught, that person would marry him."

Zhang Lexuan blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously, "Did Zhu Bajie catch anyone?"

"No."

Yu Daoyun smiled and continued, "The Bodhisattvas toyed with Zhu Bajie for a while before finally letting them leave."

Zhang Lexuan burst into goose cries of laughter and said, "These Bodhisattvas are truly wicked, picking on a lustful pig-headed fellow. If this pig-headed fellow wasn't lustful, he wouldn't have been tricked."

As she laughed, she suddenly fell silent.

Wasn't she also a pitiable person, no different from the tricked Zhu Bajie?

Her family had been wiped out. She came to Shrek and agreed to be Beibei's child bride, but now she was drifting further and further away from him.

Wasn't Beibei also toying with her?

At this moment, Yu Daoyun immediately leaned closer and asked, "Senior Sister, you seem troubled? Tell me about it, maybe I can help you."

"You can't help me. It's not that I'm troubled, I just remembered some unpleasant experiences," Zhang Lexuan shook her head, not intending to share her troubles with Yu Daoyun.

Yu Daoyun sighed and said, "Senior Sister, are you troubled by that promise?"

"You... How did you know?"

Zhang Lexuan's eyes widened, and she glanced around at the junior students, quickly pulling away, afraid of someone overhearing a secret.

Yu Daoyun explained, "Actually, I heard Mu En mention it. Mu En privately regretted it, and he felt very guilty that you made such a promise."

As he spoke these words, his own conscience ached.

Mu En had never said anything; he was just deceiving Zhang Lexuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she said softly, "This was my choice. It has nothing to do with Mu En."

She truly hadn't expected Mu En to remember this matter.

Yu Daoyun comforted her, "Senior Sister, don't make things difficult for yourself, don't sacrifice yourself for others. It's a ridiculous act. Your efforts won't be seen. We should be happy people."

Zhang Lexuan was stunned by his words and remained silent for a long time.

Her junior's words made a lot of sense, but she would still uphold the promise she made back then. Even if she remained unmarried for life, she would not break her word.

Yu Daoyun, standing beside her, sighed silently.

Poor Senior Sister.

The two didn't talk about Beibei anymore on their way, but Zhang Lexuan's impression of Yu Daoyun improved significantly. She thought her junior fellow student spoke with great insight.

Considering he was only eight years old, his words were profound and unusual.

Two days later, Shrek's Supervisory Team arrived at the Spirit Mountain Range in the Heaven Spirit Empire.

Upon landing, Xuan Zi instructed, "According to intelligence, these Evil Soul Masters are active near the Star Dou Great Forest and the Spirit Mountain Range. They use soul beasts to conceal their movements, seize mining opportunities, and slaughter innocent villagers and soul masters."

"Our team will be divided into three squads to conduct a thorough search of the Spirit Mountain Range. Once any trace of Evil Soul Masters is found, notify the team members immediately."

The other members of the Supervisory Team began to divide into groups as instructed, preparing to carry out their mission.

Yu Daoyun, however, was speechless.

Whenever he asked Elder Xuan to do something, he was either drinking or sleeping, completely forgetting about it.

The Grand Elder had become too lax.

Yu Daoyun immediately asked, "Where are you going, Elder? You're a Super Douluo, and searching for Evil Soul Masters should be your specialty."

Xuan Zi chuckled, took a swig from his wine gourd, and said, "Of course, I'm going to protect your safety."

Yu Daoyun rolled his eyes.

As expected, he was the same as always, slacking off as soon as they arrived.

Elder Xuan was indeed unreliable.

He immediately said, "Elder Xuan, you are the one who should be carrying out the search mission. Your soul power is the highest, and you'll find the Evil Soul Masters quickly. We'll just handle the killing."

"With you leading the way, won't the Evil Soul Masters be caught with ease?"

His words struck a chord with the members of the Shrek Supervisory Team, who found them very reasonable.

With Elder Xuan leading, they would naturally find the Evil Soul Masters faster.

However, no one had ever asked Elder Xuan to undertake a mission before, so he had naturally become a lazy bodyguard.

Yet, Elder Xuan chuckled and said, "This is me tempering you, enhancing your reconnaissance abilities. Your safety is the most important thing."

Laziness is laziness, and there are so many excuses... Yu Daoyun coughed and said, "Then I can only tell Elder Mu the details of the mission after it's completed."

As soon as he said this, Xuan Zi, who was drinking, suddenly choked.

His expression also changed.

This was like a knife around his neck, ready to fall at any moment.

Helpless, Xuan Zi had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I'll go search first. You all stay here and wait for me. Notify me immediately if there's any situation."

After speaking, Xuan Zi put his gourd back into his Soul Tool and rushed into the dense Soul Beast forest, beginning his search for the Evil Soul Masters.

Zhang Lexuan and the others silently gave Yu Daoyun a thumbs-up.

After so many years, this was the first time they had seen someone manage to tame Xuan Zi and personally go on a mission.

As expected, it had to be Yu Daoyun.

If Xuan Zi could be the vanguard for every mission, carrying out tasks would be much easier, and the survival rate of inner court students would increase.

Yu Daoyun merely shook his head and smiled at this.

Xuan Zi was very powerful, with a strength of level ninety-eight. He could be used as a mascot to scare people when he had nothing else to do, but he was too lazy when it came to executing missions.

As long as Mu En was around, he wouldn't dare to sleep.

Afterward, the team began to put on their Soul Tool equipment, ready to face any special circumstances.

Not far away, Cai Mei'er took all of this in.

Cai Mei'er thought to herself, "As expected, Elder Mu's worries were not unfounded. Xuan Zi really tends to mess things up. Fortunately, this young fellow Yu Daoyun is smart enough."

This child was truly the future of Shrek.

If Elder Mu were no longer around, this child could keep Xuan Zi in check in the future.

About two hours later, Xuan Lao returned, dusty and disheveled, his messy hair full of dew. He took a big gulp of wine.

The students of the Shrek Supervisory Team immediately gathered around.

Zhang Lexuan asked, "Elder Xuan, is there any news?"

Xuan Lao chuckled and replied, "These Evil Soul Masters are well hidden, but I still found them. They are mining mineral resources three hundred meters underground, dozens of miles away."

After speaking, he put his hands on his hips, waiting for the students' praise.

However, to their surprise, the students of the Shrek Supervisory Team unanimously turned their gaze to Yu Daoyun, their eyes filled with admiration.

Awesome!

Truly awesome!

They had never undertaken such an easy mission before. It turned out that all their hardships stemmed from not knowing how to utilize resources.

If only Xuan Lao had set out earlier.
