Inside the Yue Family mansion.

Le Zhengyue sat on his bed, facing Jiang Nannan, whose face was filled with conflict.

"Do we really have to go to Shrek Academy early? It doesn't seem urgent. If we go, and run into old friends, maybe... maybe there will be problems."

Jiang Nannan looked at Le Zhengyue, her eyes pleading.

After three years together, Jiang Nannan no longer harbored any resistance towards Le Zhengyue, even accepting her role as his maid.

But the thought of seeing familiar friends again still made her hesitant.

After all, this was the most awkward period for her. Although Xu Sanshi was still alive, he had been imprisoned the entire time.

In such a situation, she didn't know how to explain things to others.

However, listening to Jiang Nannan, Le Zhengyue showed no particular expression.

"I've already received advance notice. The Youth Class at Shrek Academy... there's about a four or five-year age difference between you and me. I'm nine this year, and you're about fourteen. While you're a bit older, it's perfect for joining the Youth Class."

Le Zhengyue said casually.

The Yue Family was one of the major families, and they managed the entire Southern Legion. Obtaining information about Shrek Academy was not difficult.

After all, besides Le Zhengyu, other students from the Yue Family were also studying at Shrek Academy.

Thus, Le Zhengyue had acquired a lot of information.

For instance, Shrek Academy was holding an early Youth Class. This Youth Class wasn't convened by Yun Ming, but by Mu En.

Compared to Yun Ming, the true number one person in the world, Le Zhengyue actually feared Mu En the most.

Because if it came to cunning and slyness, that old man far surpassed Yun Ming.

Aside from the age difference, their personal slyness was incomparable.

Despite Mu En's appearance as a kind old man, his hidden thoughts were numerous, and his methods were far inferior to Yun Ming's.

Therefore, Le Zhengyue was extremely wary of this Old Mu.

This Youth Class plan was proposed by him, requiring all students between the ages of 10 and 15. This age range perfectly matched Huo Yuhao's generation.

It was clear that the old man had regained his memories, or rather, he definitely had some memories, which led him to decide to establish such a Youth Class to recruit talents early.

However, this time, it was directly aimed at the Second and Third Continents.

"Alright, Jiang Nannan, do as I say. At school, we won't know each other. Of course, I hope you won't forget your identity in private."

Le Zhengyue said, raising a finger to gently pinch the girl's cheek.

Feeling the boy's unbridled behavior, Jiang Nannan's eyes were filled with helplessness.

Compared to Xu Sanshi or other boys who always treated her with extreme respect, she had no dignity in front of Le Zhengyue.

Le Zhengyue almost completely suppressed her throughout, not giving her any right to choose.

But this also made Jiang Nannan very patient, or rather, she wasn't used to making her own choices.

When others made choices for her to execute, she surprisingly had no aversion to it.

Of course, she also understood that even if she felt some aversion, it would be useless, as Le Zhengyue wouldn't care.

After a brief discussion about the Youth Class, Jiang Nannan turned and left.

She would use special means to return to the Second Continent and then travel to Shrek Academy on the Third Continent under a different identity.

Le Zhengyue was confident about Jiang Nannan.

After three years of training, the young girl had become much more obedient, or rather, she had deeply understood the relationship between them, so Le Zhengyue was quite at ease about this.

His strength improvement over these three years wasn't significant, only increasing from over level 20 to level 37.

This rate of improvement was already quite good for others. After all, an increase of about 10 levels in three years was very strong, especially the progression from the second ring to the third ring.

But for Le Zhengyue, this was nothing.

Besides his Dragon God Martial Soul, his main focus was on his Human Emperor Banner Martial Soul.

After all, the Dragon God Martial Soul was too powerful and mysterious. This martial soul could be used as a trump card, so Le Zhengyue currently planned to focus on the Human Emperor Banner.

Therefore, during this period, besides searching everywhere for condemned criminals to utilize, he also upgraded his Bone Dragon Soul Spirit to ten thousand years.

That is to say, his martial soul was the Dragon God Martial Soul, possessing the physical enhancement of the Golden Dragon King or even more terrifying than the Golden Dragon King. Otherwise, having a ten-thousand-year soul spirit as his first one would be unimaginable to others.

But for Le Zhengyue, this was enough.

With his first ten-thousand-year soul ring, Le Zhengyue wouldn't need to worry about soul spirit upgrades for a while. Moreover, a ten-thousand-year soul spirit could significantly enhance his strength.

After sending Jiang Nannan away, Le Zhengyue sat on his bed, flipping through the letters in his hand.

These were letters from Eastsea City, detailing what Tang Wulin and the other two had been doing over the years and their various arrangements.

Although the three had met before, they hadn't attended the same school. It was only now that they decided to jointly apply to Eastsea Academy.

Looking at the mention of Eastsea Academy, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered slightly.

He also needed a pretext, or rather, an identity to join, and the best place to start wouldn't be anywhere else but through Tang Wulin.

Because of his relationship with Le Zhengyu, although Xu Xiaoyan most likely knew that Le Zhengyu didn't have a brother, she couldn't possibly know the entire situation of the Yue Family.

Even after she married Yue Zhengyu and he became the new head of the Yue Family, it was impossible for her to have a deep understanding of the situation regarding the family's collateral branches.

This, conversely, provided Le Zhengyue with an opportunity; he could easily disguise himself as a member of a collateral branch and go to meet his sister-in-law.

Especially after the footage of Yue Zhengyu harassing Jiang Nannan surfaced, once it was confirmed that Yue Zhengyu had been reborn—or at least possessed his memories—and still chose to harass Jiang Nannan or even seek out other women, what would Xu Xiaoyan think?

Le Zhengyue was already looking forward to it.

As for the return of his older brother, there was no expression on Le Zhengyue's face.

With Yue Zhengyu's departure over the past three years, his own influence throughout the Yue Family had begun to grow increasingly secure.

Although he could not yet influence the military affairs of the Southern Legion, within the Yue Family itself, his power had become ever more formidable.

His strength, in particular, had improved; a nine-year-old three-ring expert was no longer weak.

If such a three-ring expert possessed sufficient talent and was even highly regarded by the old master, his momentum within the entire family would only grow stronger.

That was exactly the position Le Zhengyue was in at this moment.

Although he did not openly admit to being the future young master of the family, many people already regarded him as such, and some collateral branches had begun to secretly invest in him.
