Uninvited Guest!

"I... I need to think about it!"

Xiao Wu ultimately did not agree, yet Lin Fan began to smile.

In his past life, he had wooed many girls and knew that if a girl didn't give a direct refusal, it meant she had already agreed.

Besides, since Er Ming had already agreed to him, wouldn't it be easy to manipulate Xiao Wu?

"That... are Er Ming and Da Ming... doing alright?"

Xiao Wu asked hesitantly, her eyes filled with hope.

"Once you have made your decision, the next time we meet, I will naturally let you see Er Ming."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, then turned and left, leaving Xiao Wu alone to struggle with her thoughts.

Having manipulated Xiao Wu and subdued the Titan Giant Ape, Lin Fan was quite satisfied with his harvest. He returned to Suotuo City, went back to his shop, and lay lazily on his chair, waiting for customers to come and purchase Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

Although plans couldn't keep up with changes, and having a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as a lackey had caused his strength to leap forward, he still preferred this leisurely life.

Before long, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Gu Chen returned, followed by Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng, and the others.

Originally, Yu Tianheng's face had been full of smiles, but upon seeing Lin Fan, his smile immediately stiffened. Especially when he saw Dugu Yan rush to Lin Fan's side the moment she returned, playing around intimately, his eye sockets turned red instantly.

A fragile young man's heart had been shattered just like that!

It was fortunate that Yu Tianheng was not the type to act without thinking; otherwise, he surely would have jumped out to let Lin Fan slap his face.

"It's good that you are all safe."

Qin Ming suddenly sighed, "I don't know what happened in the Star Dou Forest, but a Hundred-Thousand-Year level Soul Beast suddenly appeared, triggering a beast tide that even alarmed Martial Soul Hall and the two great empires."

"When I first received the news, I was worried about your safety. Now that I see you are all safe and sound, I can finally rest easy."

Qin Ming knew that Lin Fan was already an Instructor at the academy, so he was naturally concerned for his safety.

"Hm? Are Martial Soul Hall and the two great empires joining forces to deal with that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

Lin Fan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He had been thinking about capturing the Sky Azure Bull Python once he could craft Super Balls next month. If Bibi Dong and the others found out about the Sky Azure Bull Python's existence and snatched it away, he would be quite displeased.

"Yes."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "I heard from the Instructors that they are all going personally to avoid a larger riot. I reckon a few Title Douluo-level powerhouses will be going as well!"

"..."

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt relieved. As long as Bibi Dong and the others didn't go right from the start, with the Sky Azure Bull Python's strength, it wouldn't be threatened by ordinary Title Douluo.

However, this also gave Lin Fan a sense of pressure.

Should he find a way to use a special ball to catch another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? That way, he would have a guarantee before going to the Star Dou Forest to negotiate with the Sky Azure Bull Python.

As long as the negotiation succeeded and the other party was willing, he could successfully subdue it even without a Super Ball!

"I must find time to go to the Sunset Forest! I hope that elder brother of mine will voluntarily tell me about the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well without me having to ask!"

With the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, plus his ability to help Soul Beasts advance, Lin Fan could strengthen the Titan Giant Ape to a cultivation level comparable to two hundred thousand or even three hundred thousand years.

By then, with the existence of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he might even be able to trick the Ice Empress and bring her under his command as well.

After all, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had long admired the Ice Empress; if he were to capture her, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would surely risk his life and give everything!

"Let's not talk about that. Since everyone is safe, let's start special training from tomorrow!"

Qin Ming said in a deep voice, "I want you all to head to the Suotuo City Soul Fighting Arena and achieve a winning streak!"

"Instructor Lin Fan, would you like to come and watch as well?"

"Ah?"

"Instructor?"

Hearing Qin Ming's words, several students were stunned. Even Dugu Yan showed a look of surprise, followed by a resentful expression.

Outside the academy, you are my grand-uncle, but inside the academy, you've become an Instructor. Is my status really that low?

"That works, I'll go take a look."

Lin Fan did not refuse. He knew that this group would definitely run into the Shrek Seven Devils. When that time came, he could just happen to hook Xiao Wu over right in front of Tang San and see what his reaction would be.

I wonder, would he be angry enough to challenge me on the spot?

Furthermore, he couldn't go to the Star Dou Forest for the time being as it was particularly chaotic. Lin Fan also needed to battle other Soul Masters to raise his level through the mechanism of gaining soul power from combat.

By then, whether he went to the Sunset Forest or any other gathering place for Soul Beasts, capturing the next Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would be safer and simpler.

"Good, then get some good rest tonight. I will come to call you tomorrow."

"Oh, right."

Qin Ming suddenly said, "Instructor Lin Fan, I would like to introduce you to some friends. I wonder if you would be willing to condescend to meet them?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately understood. These so-called friends were likely that group from Shrek Academy.

His eyes rolled, and Lin Fan did not refuse. As the saying goes, having wealth without returning home is like walking in the dark in fine clothes.

To put it bluntly, if you have strength and don't show it off, isn't that strength wasted?

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang could communicate with Bibi Dong. If Lin Fan wanted to get things from Martial Soul Hall later, he might need to use Yu Xiaogang as a stepping stone.

Putting aside everything else, Bibi Dong really was a hopeless romantic!

She loved Yu Xiaogang until the very end!

Although Lin Fan did not fear Bibi Dong, he would not refuse the opportunity to gain benefits from her through other means if possible.

He had always been a consequentialist, focusing only on the outcome rather than the process!

"Since you are a friend of Teacher Qin, I naturally will not refuse."

Lin Fan smiled slightly and agreed, which immediately made Qin Ming's face light up with joy.

If nothing else, this Qin Ming was truly a decent person; he possessed outstanding talent and was a man who valued loyalty and friendship. Lin Fan even considered taking him in as a subordinate.

With a subordinate like this, handing matters over to him would certainly be worry-free!

Perhaps he should find a way to become the Dean of Shrek Academy himself?

When the time came, watching Tang San clearly feel displeased while his elders and teachers all obeyed his own commands—that seemed like a unique kind of satisfaction!

He could even have him help out while he discussed the meaning of life with Xiao Wu!

Moreover, with him in charge, the Shrek Seven Devils would cease to exist.

It would inevitably become Lin Fan and his six accessories!

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Lin Clan in Starry Sky City, an uninvited guest had arrived.

A beautiful little girl, looking travel-worn and dusty, gazed up at the Lin Clan's plaque and burst into tears of excitement: "Lin Fan, I've finally found your home!"
