Golden Tree's Request

As news of Mu En's impending death spread, many people who had been associated with the Shrek Academy returned.

Both Xuan Zi, who was forced to leave the academy by Mu En, and Qian Duoduo, who had rebuilt the new academy, returned to the Shrek Academy.

"Things are really changing rapidly!"

When Ning Que returned to the Shrek Academy and saw Shrek Academy completely different from the one he remembered, he could clearly sense the changes.

Although there are far fewer people in the academy now, there's a new vitality to it. If this pace continues, perhaps Mu En's reforms will actually succeed?

Unfortunately, Mu En didn't make it to the end.

"Ning boy, you're here!"

"I'll be waiting for you here at the Golden Tree!"

As Ning Que approached the vicinity of the academy, Mu En's familiar voice rang in his mind.

Ning Que could tell from Mu En's aged voice that he was truly nearing the end of his life.

Death is truly not far away.

After a moment's thought, Ning Que used spatial magic and instantly arrived at Mu En's location.

At this moment, only Bei Bei is with Mu En.

Bei Bei is now a Soul Douluo, and his Eighth Soul Ring is a hundred thousand years old.

Clearly, Mu En has been nurturing him a lot over the years, and if my guess is correct, Mu En's Dragon Core core has now fallen into Bei Bei's hands.

"Bei Bei, from now on, whenever you encounter trouble that you can't solve, go to your senior Ning Que."

"Learn more from him. If you can learn even two or three tenths of Ning Que, it will be enough for you to support the entire Shrek Academy."

"Profound Ancestor will no longer hinder your relationship with Xiao Ya. Regarding the establishment of the Tang Sect, you can fully support her in its creation, but you cannot join in. Shrek Academy will need your continued management in the future."

"As for your matter with Lexuan, let's just consider it a joke. Seeing that you've both found your life goals, Profound Ancestor is truly happy..."

Mu En kept talking to Bei Bei, Ning Que didn't go forward. Given the current situation, it was better for him to wait a while.

"Don't cry, you've grown up now."

"Go ahead, I'll have a talk with Ning Que."

Upon realizing that Ning Que had arrived, Mu En told Bei Bei to leave.

By this time, Bei Bei was already crying his eyes out. When he saw Ning Que, he still tried to force himself to greet him, Ning Que patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.

Ning Que then headed towards where Mu En was.

Upon seeing Ning Que arrive, Mu En instinctively tried to mobilize the limited amount of Soul Power within his body.

Ning Que knew that Mu En was about to say something important.

However, given Mu En's current condition, it's best to avoid using any force if possible.

Ning Que was genuinely afraid that he would suddenly die on the spot.

With a thought, nine-colored light flashed, directly sealing off the area where the two were located, while simultaneously channeling streams of life force into Mu En's body.

"Self-Created Soul Skill that combines auxiliary Martial Soul with spiritual power and spatial perception, forming a semi-domain suppression type."

"You little rascal, you really are a prodigy!"

Mu En marveled at the sight.

Even he couldn't create such Self-Created Soul Skill.

Although he valued Ning Que highly, he really didn't expect that Ning Que would have grown to this level in such a short time.

"Mu En, is there anything else I can do for you?"

Ning Que didn't mince words with Mu En and directly pointed out Mu En's thoughts.

Given Mu En's current condition, it's really hard to say how long he can hold on.

It's better to be direct with each other.

"Ning Que, I know this old man knows that our relationship has always been a transaction, and I have no right to ask you to do anything."

"But today, this old man will shamelessly ask you for two favors."

"First, please take good care of Bei Bei for me. If he encounters any trouble in the future, I hope you can lend a hand."

After saying this, Mu En turned his gaze to Ning Que, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Can!"

Ning Que did not refuse Mu En's request.

Putting everything else aside, as far as Bei Bei is concerned, his impression of him is still quite good.

Moreover, back in the academy, even when it went against her own identity and interests, Bei Bei insisted on standing with her sister and Jin Sheng, and afterwards she took care of them in every way in life.

For this reason alone, Ning Que would lend a hand if needed.

"Thank you!"

"As for the second request..."

Mu En opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything.

He knew that his second request was extremely rude.

Moreover, Ning Que would never agree to that.

Ning Que guessed what Mu En was thinking; he simply wanted him to help look after the Shrek Academy, but naturally, he wouldn't agree to such a thing.

"Kid, can you think of a way to prevent Mu En's soul from entering my body?"

Just then, the voice of the Golden Tree rang in Ning Que's mind.

"Senior, why is that?"

Although Ning Que didn't understand, he still communicated with Golden Tree immediately.

Golden Tree then explained the specific reasons to Ning Que.

Under normal circumstances, Golden Tree can support itself for many years.

However, because he helped Ning Que cultivate immortal Immortal Herb multiple times, and then used the power of the source to help Ye Guyi condense her Soul Ring, he consumed a lot of his power.

As he weakened, the formation within his body began to suppress him instead.

While it won't immediately put them at a disadvantage, it does break a critical point.

If Mu En's Soul Power were to enter the formation again, increasing its power, he would be in a very bad situation.

His original plan was to wait for Ye Guyi to return, and then have her risk entering the Golden Tree to wipe out those souls, thus relieving the pressure on him.

However, such an action could very well trigger the premonition of that deity in the Divine Realm.

When Ning Que arrived, he immediately thought that this little guy was full of clever ideas, and perhaps he had some kind of solution.

That's when they suggested a different approach.

"It doesn't seem like it's impossible."

After careful consideration, Ning Que decided to give it a try.

"Mu En, forget about me taking care of the Shrek Academy for you."

"However, I have a way for you to take care of the Shrek Academy in a different way, and even watch Bei Bei grow up."

"It all depends on whether you're willing or not?"

Ning Que looked at Mu En in front of him and threw him a temptation he couldn't refuse.

But Mu En did not reply immediately. Instead, he scrutinized Ning Que with his cloudy eyes, as if trying to see something clearly.
