Gu Yue Na Calls Dad!

Half a month later.

At the newly completed Minghuo Academy.

Bai Mo and the others gathered here.

It is worth mentioning that Sect Master Ning decided to appoint Elder Wu, who was in Shrek City, as the dean of the Black Branch. She also sent people to bring the two little girls over, saying that they should also enter the academy to study.

The newly completed academy currently has only 6 students in the Red Branch.

They are Bai Mo, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, Gu Yue Na, Nan Qiuchiu, and Jiang Nannan.

Bai Mo did not intend to study at the academy; he was only putting his name down so he could show off during the Soul Master Competition in a few years.

The others also benefited from the academy's initial establishment and Bai Mo's friendship; otherwise, strictly speaking, no one except Gu Yue Na should have been able to enter the Red Branch.

Tingyun set the admission requirements for each branch as follows: Levels 1-3 enter the Yellow Branch, levels 4-5 enter the Purple Branch, levels 6-9 enter the Black Branch, and Innate Full Soul Power and above enter the Red Branch.

In fact, only Bai Mo and Little Black Tower could suppress the deans of each branch, so Little Black Tower was just a nominal dean and didn't manage anything; Tingyun handled all affairs.

Of course, Innate Soul Power was only the basic requirement for entering each branch; one still had to pass the corresponding colored trial tower to truly join or advance.

For example, to join the Black Branch, one needed level 6-9 Innate Soul Power and the ability to pass the purple trial tower of the corresponding level.

This meant passing the trial tower of the level before the corresponding color.

As for why it wasn't the trial tower of the corresponding color?

Miss Little Black Tower stated that within the same level, no one in this world could pass the Red Trial Tower.

Of course, the trial towers in the real world had just been built, but Miss Little Black Tower had not finished debugging them yet, so she could not store the data of the real trial towers separately in the real world, rather than in the Emperor Scepter, to prevent some curious little dragon from hacking Bai Mo through the internet.

Therefore, the recruitment of students would have to wait.

The content taught in each academy was similar; students in each branch needed to learn about Soul Beasts, Soul Tools, and Martial Souls. However, the higher the branch, the more in-depth the knowledge taught.

As for the enrollment date for Minghuo Academy, Tingyun scheduled it for three days later. By then, Miss Little Black Tower should have finished debugging.

During this period, spies from various forces had come to Shrek City. After all, although the hammer from half a month ago landed on Shrek Academy, it had also struck the hearts of various forces.

It was a good opportunity to recruit more outstanding students while the situation was brewing.

With the initial affairs of the academy handled, Tingyun could now focus on developing her merchant guild throughout the Douluo Continent.

As for what to do these few days? Naturally, it was to recruit teachers!

Starting from Soul Emperor, with no upper limit!

"Classmate Bai Mo, my aunt and uncle happened to come to Shrek City today. Can they teach here?"

Gu Yue Na's clear purple eyes stared intently at Bai Mo.

"Yes, let's have an interview first. Well, since they are elders of classmate Gu Yue Na, we'll use the private channel. You don't need to squeeze with other teachers who are here for interviews. We'll go directly to the dean's office."

Bai Mo led the way through the back door, followed by a group of young ladies towards the dean's office.

A moment later, the Snow Empress and the cold-faced Ice Empress also walked in, followed by a domineering man with black hair and golden eyes and a gentle woman with green hair and green eyes wearing a long dress.

"Hmph~ Bai Mo, I don't like this bad guy. The Red Branch doesn't want these two teachers!"

The Ice Empress said with a cold face, reporting the two of them to Bai Mo.

"I apologize. Perhaps Di Long had a small conflict with Dean Bing on the way. We can apologize."

The arrogant black-haired man remained silent, but the green-haired woman smoothed things over.

"May I ask about your origins and current cultivation levels?" Bai Mo did not respond but asked curiously instead.

Bi Ji saw that Di Tian was still being uncooperative and shook her head helplessly, then replied to Bai Mo.

"This is my elder brother, Di Long. He is currently a Titled Douluo at level 95, with the Black Dragon as his Martial Soul. My name is Bi Ling. I am a Titled Douluo at level 93, with the Jade Swan, which can heal, as my Martial Soul."

Bai Mo looked strangely at Gu Yue Na, who was pretending to be serious beside him, and thought, You're not even pretending at all.

"What are your thoughts on the three subjects our academy will be teaching?"

"Replying to Young Master, Bi Ling and my brother have been training in the Star Dou Great Forest since we came of age, so we have some insights into Soul Beast knowledge."

"Oh~"

Bai Mo responded and began to consider where to assign these two.

Since Miss Silver Dragon King had made her move, it would be inappropriate to push these two away and let them cause trouble in secret. It would be better to keep them under his watch.

"In that case, it would be a waste of your talents for both of you to be teachers under the Red Branch. How about Bi Ling Senior becoming the head of the Logistics Department, responsible for the students' living and safety issues? As for Di Long Senior, you can be the head of the Sky Ladder Department. In the future, the academy will hold Sky Ladder competitions for students' practical combat exercises. This part will be handed over to Di Long Senior to be in charge, how about it?"

Bai Mo asked with a light smile.

The Ice Empress snorted proudly, knowing that Bai Mo had heard her complaint when she entered. The Snow Empress glared fiercely at the Ice Empress.

Di Long did not answer but looked directly at Gu Yue Na beside Bai Mo. Bi Ling, however, cautiously observed Bai Mo's expression.

Bai Mo frowned, feeling a little angry. Except for Bi Ji, no one else cared about me!

Damn it, I'll draw out something good later and make you two call me dad, Bai Mo thought.

"Uncle can decide for himself."

Gu Yue Na said softly.

"Very well, Bi Ling and I agree."

Di Tian nodded, his gaze then shifting back to Bai Mo, who had stopped smiling.

Bai Mo ignored Di Tian—everyone had a temper, after all—and simply turned his head to study the fair face of Gu Yue Na, who was pretending to be innocent.

"Fine, for the sake of you being Nana's relative, we'll leave it at that. Work hard, and you might just get a promotion in the future."

Only when Gu Yue Na's eyes began to dart away did Bai Mo turn back to address Di Tian. Furthermore, he used the name "Nana" instead of "Classmate Gu Yue Na."

Di Tian cast a deep look at the brat who had provoked him before being pulled away by Bi Ji to bid farewell to the group.

"Wuu wuu, Gu Yue Na, your elder is so rude! Just because Bai Mo is young, he didn't even take him seriously! That's too much!"

Wu Feng began to stand up for Bai Mo; see, even Wu Feng could tell!

Ning Tian shook her head and spoke softly to Gu Yue Na as well.

"Classmate Gu, Bai Mo may be young, but he is the successor chosen by the Wandering Celestial Lord. Your elder should show him proper respect."

"Eh, it's nothing. Titled Douluo all have their own quirks. We just need to seek common ground while reserving differences."

Bai Mo waved his hand magnanimously. Since Ning Tian and Wu Feng had already stood up for him, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be petty and badmouth the man.

Gu Yue Na's purple eyes welled up with moisture as she murmured, "I'm sorry, Classmate Bai. My uncle has been training in the Star Dou Forest for a long time and isn't good at interacting with people. I am truly sorry."

Gu Yue Na's tearful appearance immediately won over Wu Feng, and seeing this, Ning Tian said no more.

However, the Ice Empress, who perhaps sensed Gu Yue Na's true identity, curled her lip in disdain.

Seeing Gu Yue Na on the verge of tears, Bai Mo's mouth twitched. Before he could even speak, Gu Yue Na, under the disapproving glares of the others, threw her arms around him.

Feeling the dampness against his chest, Bai Mo gasped.

Buried against Bai Mo's chest, Gu Yue Na flashed a cunning smile and hooked her right pinky finger around his.
