Fairy Boat Heavenly General

The reception hall of the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce.

Occupying the main seat directly facing the entrance was Bai Mo, his head drooping low, with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress seated to his left and right.

Below the main seat, Tingyun and Wu Qingyao sat on the right, while Nan Qiuchiu, Zhang Lexuan, Jiang Nannan, and the silver-haired girl sat on the left.

Zhang Lexuan had come to the reception hall with Jiang Nannan after hearing from her—who had just returned from the academy—that Shrek Academy had been smashed to pieces.

Nan Qiuchiu had heard that another unlucky soul wanted to join the Fairy Boat, so she had come to listen in as well.

"You say you want to join the Fairy Boat?"

Tingyun was the first to speak; after all, none of the three currently occupying the main seats were in a state to negotiate.

"Yes, my name is Gu Yue Na, and I am eight years old this year. I just saw the seniors of the Fairy Boat display their divine might, and my heart was filled with longing, which is why I wish to join the Fairy Boat."

Gu Yue Na's lively purple eyes revealed just the right amount of admiration.

Tingyun smiled, unable to help but mutter to herself that no one currently knew the incident at Shrek Academy was related to the Fairy Boat, nor did anyone in Shrek City know the name of the Fairy Boat.

"That is certainly possible, but the Fairy Boat values strength and merit. It is not very realistic for Miss Gu Yue Na to join immediately, so why not start as a member of the Chamber of Commerce..."

Before Tingyun could finish, Bai Mo let out a groan while clutching his forehead and began to speak.

"Wait... wait a moment. The Fairy Boat plans to establish a Minghuo Academy. According to the Jade General, Minghuo Academy is tentatively designated as a subordinate of the Chamber of Commerce. The outstanding students among them may join the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce, and the top-tier ones will have the opportunity to participate in the Fairy Boat's selection exams. Regardless of the path, it means becoming an outer disciple of the Fairy Boat, though disciples of the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce are not permitted to travel to the Fairy Boat."

Bai Mo forced himself to endure the boredom and emptiness as he spoke slowly; although he felt like something was wrong, he truly had no energy to think about it right now.

"Oh my~ that is truly wonderful. This humble one was worried about where to find excellent talent once the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce expanded across the continent. Since the Fairy Boat is willing to cultivate them on our behalf, this humble one can finally rest easy~"

"The academy will be divided into four branches based on talent, named Yellow, Purple, Black, and Red. Tingyun, you handle the arrangements for this. Nan Qiuchiu and Gu Yue Na will be the first and second students of Minghuo Academy. As for you, Zhang Lexuan, you likely cannot return to Shrek; if you are willing, you may become a teacher at Minghuo Academy. As for Jiang Nannan, since you are still at Shrek Academy, we shall leave it as it is for now."

"Forget it, Sister Lexuan, don't be a teacher. You and Sister Wu can go directly to be the Deans of the Yellow and Purple Branches. Let Aunt Ning arrange the Dean of the Black Branch, and have General Ice Jade serve as the Dean of the Red Branch. As for the Dean of the main academy, let Lady Little Black Tower take that role for now."

Bai Mo, beginning to recover his mood, overturned his previous thoughts on the spot to reserve a few more positions for those around him.

"Reporting to Young Master Bai! I want to join Minghuo Academy, I can withdraw from Shrek!"

Jiang Nannan, wearing two rabbit-ear hair accessories, raised her hand to report, demonstrating her loyalty!

"Tingyun, you handle the arrangements! Does student Gu Yue Na have any questions?"

Seeing that Bai Mo had finally thought of her, Gu Yue Na also said softly:

"I have no problems, but I have a few uncles and aunts who are Titled Douluo; can they also join the Fairy Boat?"

After speaking, she thoughtfully glanced at the two soul beasts beside Bai Mo.

You really are thinking about usurping the throne, aren't you! Bai Mo complained fiercely in his heart, and it was at this moment that he suddenly thought of something he had previously overlooked.

"Little Black Tower, Little Black Tower, calling Little Black Tower!"

"Present!"

"You said that masks can be seen through by god-level beings, right?"

"Oh? Have you encountered a god-level entity?"

Bai Mo did not reply; he already knew the answer, he just wanted to pester the Little Black Tower.

In other words, the identities of the three generals of the Fairy Boat were likely transparent to Gu Yue Na.

Bai Mo felt unlucky; he had just happened to run into the only existence on the Douluo Continent capable of seeing through the mask.

As for Ah Yin, she was busy struggling with the Golden Tree in the early stages and had no mind to pay attention to Bai Mo.

"It is possible, provided there are no issues with their identities and their merit is sufficient. Perhaps they could even hold positions such as Helm Master or Cauldron Master."

"Can they not be Generals?"

"There are no vacancies for now. The position of General is not determined solely by strength and merit; one must also pass the assessment of The Hunt. Of course, if one is appreciated by other Aeons or Celestial Lords, they could ascend directly."

Bai Mo continued to toss out settings, using bait to lure Gu Yue Na.

"Aeon? Celestial Lord?"

Gu Yue Na pondered. She had indeed heard that little fox woman mention that the Fairy Boat possessed gods. The essence of Bai Mo's previous strike was something rarely seen in all her years.

But it was hard to say if this child was deceiving the wise Silver Dragon King. His previous power clearly came from an item, but there was likely no issue with the fact that his power originated from another Divine Realm, Gu Yue Na thought silently.

"Ah, look at my brain, I forgot to mention: the status within the Fairy Boat is clearly defined. The first in rank are naturally the Aeons and Celestial Lords, followed by the Marshal, and then the Generals. Positions below the General, such as Helm Master or Diviner, can be attained through merit. As for my identity, you can understand it as the successor chosen by a wandering Celestial Lord."

Watching Gu Yue Na, who had all her questions written on her face as she pondered silently, Bai Mo pretended not to notice and spoke up.

Gu Yue Na also raised her head and looked deeply at Bai Mo.

"I have confidence in my uncle; he will certainly be able to pass the assessment of The Hunt."

Gu Yue Na said, feigning innocence, and even waved her small fist.

(Di Tian: Who? Me?)

Jiang Nannan was overjoyed; she truly had not expected that not only would her mother receive treatment, but she would also be able to join such a powerful force! Jiang Nannan decided that tomorrow—no, tonight!—she would go and withdraw from the academy!

Nan Qiuchiu, on the other hand, was calm. She had already been in despair after learning the identities of the Ice and Snow Emperors. She had originally come to see the new companion make a fool of herself; she hadn't expected that while she did see a fool, she herself would likely be unable to escape. Since that was the case, so be it!

"Good. Also, my mother, General Cold Snow, who is also a Heavenly General of the Fairy Boat, will serve as a guest elder in the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce for now. She only needs to act when necessary. Then, tell Sister Wu and Aunt Ning to find a Dean, and Tingyun can arrange the rest."

Bai Mo clutched his head, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Wu Qingyao recorded the entire meeting in a daze; she had no idea what was going on with those Fairy Boat bigwigs, but since she had it all on record, she would leave the headache to the Sect Master!

Seeing that Bai Mo and his two appendages had stopped speaking, Tingyun prepared to dismiss the meeting so she could discuss the academy's site, construction, and enrollment matters with others later.

Just then, a guard arrived at the door to report.

"Enter," Tingyun said indifferently.

"Reporting to the President, someone from Shrek Academy has arrived, saying they are here to offer you an apology!"
