The next day, the Inner Court training grounds' viewing stands were packed with elders and Inner Court students who had come to watch the excitement. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two figures standing quietly in confrontation at the center of the grounds, their curiosity thoroughly piqued.
"Teacher, what is this about?" Xian Lin'er turned to Mu En beside her, who was watching the scene below with a smile, and asked in confusion.
Honestly, Mu En's appearance alone had greatly surprised the elders. For a long time now, Mu En had always been known as a hunched old man.
Once everyone learned that Xiao Yi was responsible for all this, they praised him endlessly, compliments pouring forth one after another.
"That child Xiao Yi recently acquired a new soul skill and wanted to test it out in the training grounds, so he specifically dragged Shaozhe over to be his sparring partner." Mu En stroked his beard as he explained with a smile, his tone carrying unmistakable schadenfreude.
When he had learned yesterday about the absurd stunt Yan Shaozhe had pulled, he had nearly exploded with rage. The brat was simply outrageous.
Now, he could use Xiao Yi's soul skill test as an excuse to let Yan Shaozhe obediently take a beating and vent the anger in his heart.
Of course, there was no real grudge between the two. Their personalities simply clicked; Xiao Yi and Yan Shaozhe were two peas in a pod, kindred spirits who had hit it off at first sight.
At the highest point of the viewing stands, seven youths of distinctly different temperaments stood side by side. They were this generation's Shrek Seven Monsters, all watching the two people facing off below with curious expressions.
Wasn't that the junior who had been with Ma Xiaotao yesterday?
