Entering Eastsea Academy

The next day, Na'er was taken away.

Leng Yaozhu was already waiting in the living room. She clearly already knew that Na'er had been taken away, and seeing Cheng Duoyi's dejected appearance, her heart tightened instantly.

"Yi'er." Leng Yaozhu walked over, pulled him into her embrace, and said softly, "Don't be sad. Na'er is only leaving for a while; she will come back. Besides, she has found her family, so we should be happy for her."

Cheng Duoyi leaned into her arms and nodded. After a long silence, he finally looked up and said, "Godmother, I want to attend Eastsea Academy."

Leng Yaozhu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Eastsea Academy? If you want to attend school, Godmother can arrange for you to go to Shrek Academy."

Leng Yaozhu felt that going to an unheard-of place like Eastsea Academy was not as good as going to Shrek Academy. After all, Shrek Academy was the number one academy on the Douluo Continent and the holy land in the hearts of all soul masters; countless people would break their heads just to get in.

But Cheng Duoyi shook his head: "I won't go to Shrek. Ling'er is at Eastsea Academy, and I want to be with her. Besides, I don't want others to say that I got in because of your connections, Godmother. If it's possible in the future, I will pass the entrance exam to Shrek Academy myself."

Leng Yaozhu looked at his earnest eyes, stunned for a long time, before a gratified smile appeared on her face.

She reached out and gently stroked Cheng Duoyi's hair, her eyes slightly moist: "Good, good, my Yi'er has grown up. Godmother respects your decision."

She knew that Cheng Duoyi had been sickly since he was a child and had almost no friends by his side.

Tang Wuling was one of the few playmates he had, and he didn't want to be separated from her. Moreover, the fact that he could say such things meant he had truly grown up and developed his own thoughts and dignity, which was a good thing.

"However, your health is poor, and I am worried about you going alone," Leng Yaozhu said. "Let Xue'er go with you. I will arrange for her to take a position at Eastsea Academy so she can look after you."

Standing to the side, Leng Xue'er nodded: "Don't worry, Aunt, I will definitely take good care of Yi'er."

Cheng Duoyi smiled at Leng Yaozhu: "Thank you, Godmother."

Leng Yaozhu feigned anger: "Why are you being so polite with me? Hmph, if you do that again, Godmother will be angry!"

"Hehe, Yi'er won't dare to do it again," Cheng Duoyi laughed.

Three days later, Leng Xue'er brought Cheng Duoyi to Eastsea City.

Eastsea City was one of the largest cities on the east coast and the location of Eastsea Academy. Although Eastsea Academy could not compare to Shrek Academy, it was still quite famous in the east coast region and had cultivated many excellent soul masters.

Walking through the main gate of Eastsea Academy, the first thing that caught the eye was a wide main road, with tall, lush trees planted on both sides.

Teaching buildings, dormitories, and training grounds were scattered throughout the campus, and students in school uniforms could be seen everywhere, full of youthful vitality.

Leng Xue'er took Cheng Duoyi directly to the Academic Affairs Office.

As soon as she pushed the door open, a middle-aged man immediately greeted them, his face full of respectful smiles, even bowing slightly.

"Teacher Leng!"

"You have arrived! Your joining makes Eastsea Academy shine with brilliance!"

"If you have any needs, just command me at any time; I guarantee I will fulfill them."

This person was none other than Long Hengxu, the director of the Academic Affairs Office at Eastsea Academy.

He had received notice from Leng Yaozhu long ago.

At the time, he had thought it was a prank.

After all, who was Leng Yaozhu?

She was the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda!

It was only when she explained Cheng Duoyi's situation that he believed it.

He had also learned about Leng Xue'er's situation from Leng Yaozhu.

Seeing Leng Xue'er in person now, he dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

Leng Xue'er nodded faintly, her tone indifferent: "Director Long is too kind. I have come this time mainly to accompany my younger brother, Yi'er, to enroll."

As she spoke, she pushed Cheng Duoyi in front of her.

Only then did Long Hengxu notice the child beside Leng Xue'er.

Cheng Duoyi was wearing a small white shirt, his skin fair, and his large eyes were watery. He looked delicate and cute; if his white hair were any longer, one might mistake him for a girl.

It was rare to see a child with such an androgynous appearance.

"This must be student Cheng Duoyi, right? He is truly handsome," Long Hengxu immediately put on a kind smile. "Teacher Leng, rest assured, I will definitely arrange for him to be in the best class. Grade 1 Class 1 is our academy's elite class with the strongest faculty; let student Cheng Duoyi go to Class 1."

Cheng Duoyi asked: "Director Long, I would like to ask, which class are you planning to put the new student Tang Wuling in?"

Long Hengxu was stunned: "Tang Wuling?"

He had truly never heard of this name.

"Tang Wuling is my friend, and her martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

"I have done some research on the class distribution at Eastsea Academy, and such martial souls are usually assigned to Grade 1 Class 5, so I would like to go to Grade 1 Class 5."

The smile on Long Hengxu's face froze.

He scratched his head awkwardly and looked at Leng Xue'er.

Grade 1 Class 5 was a notoriously problematic class, generally filled with students who had mediocre talent and were mischievous. How could he put Leng Xue'er's precious younger brother in such a place?

Leng Xue'er, however, just nodded faintly: "Since little Yi'er wants to go to Class 5, then arrange for him to go to Class 5. It just so happens that I am applying to be the vice director of Grade 1 Class 5 to assist the head teacher, so I can look after him at any time."

"This..." Long Hengxu's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly: "No problem! Of course, no problem! With you serving as the vice director of Class 5, the class's performance will surely soar! The head teacher is still the original teacher, Wu Changkong; do you think that is acceptable?"

"Wu Changkong?" Leng Xue'er raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Teacher Wu Changkong is also an exceptionally outstanding soul master with formidable strength," Long Hengxu hurriedly added.

"Very well." Leng Xue'er did not ask any further questions.

Long Hengxu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly processed the paperwork. "All set. The formalities are complete. Student Cheng Duoyi's dormitory is Room 205 in the boys' dormitory building. Teacher Leng, here are the keys to your single faculty dormitory, as well as your and your brother's school uniforms."

"Good."

Leng Xue'er took her dormitory key, while Cheng Duoyi accepted the other key and the school uniforms.

Following this, Leng Xue'er took Cheng Duoyi by the hand and turned to leave the administrative office. Seeing that the matter was settled, Long Hengxu felt a weight lift from his heart.

He felt even more delighted than relieved.

"Principal, Her Excellency Leng Xue'er, cousin of the Spirit Pagoda's vice tower master, has completed her faculty registration and is now the vice homeroom teacher for Grade 1 Class 5."

"The situation is a bit complex; it happened like this..."

Leng Xue'er and Cheng Duoyi arrived at the foot of the boys' dormitory building just as Tang Wuling was stepping out of the girls' dormitory.

Tang Wuling was already wearing the Eastsea Academy Grade 1 uniform, her long black hair tied into a high ponytail. Upon seeing Cheng Duoyi, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother Yi'er!" Tang Wuling excitedly hugged Cheng Duoyi. "You really came to Eastsea Academy to study! This is wonderful; I thought you were lying to me!"

She thought shyly to herself, Brother Yi'er still smells so good. I wish I could hold onto him forever~

Hehe, with Na'er gone, does that mean I can have Brother Yi'er all to myself?

For a moment, Tang Wuling felt nothing but joy. She was happy that Na'er had left, as it meant she was now the person closest to Cheng Duoyi.

Held in Tang Wuling's embrace, the vitality within Cheng Duoyi stopped leaking and stabilized, though it did not recover. This was because the Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wuling was extremely thin, almost non-existent.

Had it been Na'er, the vitality within Cheng Duoyi would not only have stopped leaking but would have slowly begun to recover.

However, Cheng Duoyi was quite satisfied with the current situation.

Cheng Duoyi smiled and patted Tang Wuling's hair. "Why would I ever lie to you?"
