Mu En Casts a Wide Net to Bring the Fated Together; the Auspicious Beast Takes Human Form
Yan Shaozhe picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Mu En, are you feeling sorry for Lexuan?"
"Lexuan is a good girl in every way, it's just that she's a little unlucky in love." Mu En shook his head. "But then again, just because Bei Bei isn't suitable doesn't mean there aren't more suitable candidates."
Yan Shaozhe put down his teacup and looked at Mu En.
Mu En continued, "Dai Huabin."
Yan Shaozhe was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant. "You mean..."
"For this Soul Fighting Tournament, let Lexuan be the team leader."
Mu En's tone was calm.
"Firstly Lexuan is strong enough, and her status as the Grandmaster of the Inner Academy can keep Xiaotao in check. Secondly, let her get to know Dai Huabin."
Yan Shaozhe pondered for a moment:
"Mu En, Dai Huabin already has quite a few women around him. Zhu Lu and others, and that Xue Qingyao..."
"That's exactly why."
Mu En picked up his teacup.
"This kid has extremely high aspirations and great ambitions. The women he can keep around him must all be very capable."
Lexuan is top-notch in every aspect, whether it's cultivation, appearance, or personality. If even she can't catch Dai Huabin's eye, then I have nothing more to say."
Yan Shaozhe thought about it and felt it made sense.
Zhang Lexuan is one of the strongest female Soul Master among the current students of the Inner Academy. Her cultivation has already broken through to the Soul Douluo. From any perspective, she is worthy of Dai Huabin.
"And," Mu En added,
"There is no conflict of interest between Lexuan and Dai Huabin, unlike Xiaotao who needs him to suppress her Evil Fire, and unlike Ling Luochen who is after his Ultimate Ice."
If two people can develop feelings for each other, then those feelings are pure. Pure feelings are the strongest bond.
Yan Shaozhe understood Mu En's deeper meaning.
Mu En was always worried about one thing: the connection between Dai Huabin and Shrek Academy was too weak.
Interests can bind a person for a time, but not forever.
Only genuine emotion can make a genius willingly serve the academy.
"I understand." Yan Shaozhe stood up. "I'll go back and tell Lexuan."
"Don't say too much." Mu En waved his hand. "Just tell her to lead the team in the Soul Fighting Tournament. As for the rest, let the young people experience it for themselves."
Yan Shaozhe nodded and was about to leave.
Mu En added, "Oh, right, add Wu Ming and Han Ruoruo too. These two are also top talents in the Inner Academy. Let them become Lexuan's teaching assistants."
"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe understood as well; the teacher was preparing to cast a wide net.
However, this is quite good. As long as Dai Huabin can be won over, any price is acceptable. Even becoming the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master is not out of the question.
Mu En sat alone on a bamboo chair, gazing out the window towards Sea God Lake.
Dai Huabin's growth rate was too fast, so fast that it terrified him.
Such a genius, if not utilized by the academy, will inevitably become a huge variable in the future.
Star Dou Great Forest, Core Circle.
Di Tian stood on the ground, his body surrounded by swirling black mist. He stared at the blonde girl in front of him, his face so dark it could drip ink.
The girl had a slender figure, with long golden hair that cascaded down to her waist, the strands shimmering with a pale golden light. Her features were exquisite and aloof, her golden eyes clear and bright, and her skin was exceptionally fair. She was enveloped in a hazy golden glow, as if she were born with an aura.
If this face were in the human world, it would definitely be considered stunningly beautiful.
But Di Tian was in no mood to appreciate it at all.
Because this girl is his Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The Auspicious Beast holds a special position. Although she is not the strongest in combat, she carries the fortune of the entire Soul Beast Clan. Di Tian placed her in the Core Circle, with the Scarlet King personally guarding her, precisely to prevent any mishaps.
As it turned out, after he went into seclusion to cultivate for a period of time, the Auspicious Beast directly transformed into human form.
"Scarlet King."
Di Tian's voice was cold and emotionless, but Bi Ji and the Auspicious Beast both sensed the danger in his tone.
The Scarlet King stood below in human form, a robust, middle-aged man with red hair, but now he was hunching over.
"Beast... Beast God!"
"Is this how you take care of Auspicious Beast?"
The Scarlet King opened his mouth, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin. He couldn't very well say that the Auspicious Beast was too slippery and he couldn't keep an eye on her, could he?
"Speak." Di Tian's tone wasn't harsh, but the surrounding air suddenly seemed to sink.
The Scarlet King forced a smile and said, "It's because of that human."
"What human?"
"A kid named Dai Huabin," the Scarlet King swallowed, "He came to the Core Circle once before and roasted some meat for the Auspicious Beast..."
Di Tian's eyebrows twitched.
"It seems that such a person does exist."
"Yes, the Auspicious Beast and he formed Fate Connection." The Scarlet King's voice trailed off as he spoke. "After that, the Auspicious Beast kept insisting on transforming into human form, saying she wanted to find that human... I tried to stop her several times, but she..."
The Scarlet King didn't continue.
All the Soul Beast present knew the temperament of the Auspicious Beast. It looked docile, but when it got stubborn, not even nine oxen could pull it back.
Di Tian fell silent.
He certainly knew what the Fate Connection meant. The Fate Connection of Auspicious Beast was different from that of ordinary Soul Beast; it was an instinctive pull at the level of bloodline, which could not be artificially severed once it was formed.
In other words, the Auspicious Beast has chosen that human.
This greatly displeased Di Tian.
"Bi Ji." Di Tian turned his head.
A woman in a verdant gauze dress emerged from the forest, her steps light and graceful, her emerald wings slightly folded behind her. Bi Ji's face was gentle, and she nodded slightly to Di Tian.
"Beast God, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the Scarlet King."
Bi Ji's voice was gentle, and her pace was neither too fast nor too slow.
"The Ice Empress and Snow Empress of the Far North have already acknowledged the human named Dai Huabin and established Blood Pact with him. The Auspicious Beast have had contact with him several times and have never sensed any malice from him."
Di Tian frowned. "What happened in the Far North was their own choice, and has nothing to do with the Auspicious Beast."
That's one thing.
Bi Ji continued in a calm tone:
"But the Fate Connection of Auspicious Beast is ordained by Heaven, and no one can control it. Rather than forcibly obstructing it and escalating the conflict, it's better to go with the flow. Dai Huabin truly has no ill intentions towards my Soul Beast Clan."
Di Tian did not answer immediately.
The blonde girl beside him was tilting her head and looking at Di Tian with a hint of caution in her golden eyes.
"Uncle Di Tian, I just want to go out and see the world..."
The Auspicious Beast's voice was clear and melodious, with a soft, sweet quality unique to young girls, creating a stark contrast with her cold and stunningly beautiful face.
Di Tian glanced at her and gave a soft snort.
Bi Ji added from the side:
"Moreover, Dai Huabin has Ice Empress by his side, so at least there's not much to worry about in terms of safety after the Auspicious Beast goes."
Di Tian remained silent for a long time.
Indeed, if the Ice Empress were present, ordinary people couldn't harm the Auspicious Beast Auspicious Beast. However, the auspicious Auspicious Beast of the Soul Beast Clan, and neither the Ice Empress nor the Snow Empress would allow it to be harmed.
The birth of Auspicious Beast is not necessarily a bad thing.
But you still need insurance.
