Leng Yaozhu, I'm Here to Poach Your Disciple!

When Bai Yuan pushed the door open, Gu Yuena was curled up in bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket, with only her purple eyes showing as she stared at him.

Her long, silver hair was spread out on the pillow.

"The teacher gave us a few days off to rest. Where are you planning to go?"

Bai Yuan sat down on the chair by the bed, looking at her with a smile.

Gu Yuena pursed her lips, pulled the blanket up to cover half her face, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"What's it to you?"

Bai Yuan didn't respond.

Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, then her voice came from under the covers.

"Return to the Spirit Pagoda."

"Oh~"

Bai Yuan dragged out the melody.

"That means there was no plan."

Gu Yuena remained silent.

Bai Yuan leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, and seeing her stubborn expression, he already understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

The story of returning to the Spirit Pagoda was a ruse; the real reason was that Di Tian and the others hadn't fully recovered from their injuries.

The damage caused by Tang San's two Divine Sense cannot be recovered in a day or two. No matter how strong Bi Ji's healing ability is, it will still take time.

With Di Tian's Ferocious Beast not around, Gu Yuena was like a kite with a broken string in Skysea City, with no one to rely on and nowhere to go.

Returning to the Spirit Pagoda was merely an excuse she couldn't find a better one.

Bai Yuan sighed silently to himself.

Think of Di Tian; in the Douluo II Zhuan, he was truly treated like a favored son. With the Dragon God Claw in hand, he was invincible and single-handedly suppressed the entire continent.

But in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, the Dragon God Claw was nerfed to a pulp, going from "invincible in the current version" to "just another face in the crowd," with anyone able to exchange a few blows with it.

Each version has its own god-tier character, and each version nerfs the Di Tian.

Previously, it was said, "When Di Tian appears, who can rival him?"

Now, the question is, "Who is Di Tian?"

Oh, not very familiar with them!

He fell from his pedestal into the mud without even making a splash.

They just cut things like that without even putting a patch.

Adding to the burden of having a master like Gu Yuena, who is both intelligent and reckless, Di Tian is also exhausted.

The lord slapped his forehead and decided to lead the Ferocious Beast into battle;

If the lord is injured, he must serve him faithfully and attentively.

His lord was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to even breathe loudly.

The mighty Black Dragon King lives a life more tiring than a laborer.

Every day when I open my eyes, I think, "What is the Lord going to do today?" When I close my eyes, I think, "When will the Lord's wounds heal?"

Purely fueled by love, sustained only by her blind loyalty to the Dragon God.

It's true that money is hard to earn and life is hard to live.

Bai Yuan stood up and walked towards the door. Gu Yuena watched his back, wanting to say something, but opened her mouth and then closed it again.

Bai Yuan stopped at the door and left without turning around.

I'll take you somewhere tomorrow.

"Where?"

Bai Yuan smiled, opened the door, and went out.

Gu Yuena looked in the direction he disappeared, then sat up, clutching her blanket.

Her long silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her purple eyes shimmered slightly.

What mischievous idea is that scoundrel up to now?

Bai Yuan walked down the corridor with his hands in his pockets, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

He couldn't control what happened to Di Tian, but he could still manage what happened to Gu Yuena.

Instead of letting her stay cooped up in her room overthinking, I'd rather take her out for a walk to clear her head, and maybe see if I can get some benefits out of Skysea City.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity? After all, the Shrek group isn't short of money.

In the penthouse suite of the Heavenly Sea Hotel, Cai Yue'er walked from the window to the table, and then from the table back to the window.

The screen was filled with news reports and sarcastic remarks.

The Shrek myth is shattered.

"A crushing defeat with seven against three" "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was utterly crushed"...

Each one felt like a knife stabbing into her heart.

This defeat not only cost her the game, but also damaged her prestige within the academy.

Those teachers who were already dissatisfied with her now had even more to say;

Those elders who had hoped she would lead Shrek to regain its former glory were now even more disappointed.

Moreover, this was something Sister Yue had instructed me to do.

Long Yeyue entrusted the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition to her, which was a sign of his trust in her and an opportunity for her to make contributions during the reconstruction of Shrek.

Now, not only has she failed to achieve anything, she has also embarrassed Shrek Academy in front of the entire continent.

How is she supposed to explain this to her when she goes back?

Cai Yue'er stopped and stood by the window, looking at the Skysea City, lit up with thousands of lights, her heart in turmoil.

A moment later, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Got it!

She could secretly ask that boy named Bai Yuan if he was interested in Shrek.

What can he obtain from the Spirit Pagoda?

Although Leng Yaozhu provided him with resources, he was ultimately not a member of the Leng Family.

Given Leng Yaozhu's personality, she wouldn't actually hand over power to him.

What she offered was the true future.

If Bai Yuan agrees, she can not only save face, but also give Leng Yaozhu in the face.

Your disciple has chosen to join Shrek; what could better prove Shrek's appeal?

As for Leng Yaozhu, she might not necessarily refuse.

Partnering with Shrek would also be a good boost for the Leng Family behind her.

If you disagree...

Cai Yue'er narrowed her eyes; she would teach him a small lesson.

Cai Yue'er's lips curled up slightly.

I feel that I'm still as clever and quirky as ever.

She walked to the dressing table, tidied her appearance in front of the mirror, and headed towards the door.

The door closed softly behind her, and she took a deep breath.

Suppress those chaotic thoughts back into your heart.

She wasn't going to beg anyone; she was going to give him a chance, a chance to escape the quagmire of the Spirit Pagoda.

An opportunity opened its doors to him from the continent's premier academy.

She believed that no one would refuse such an opportunity.

Cai Yue'er stood on the street corner outside the Spirit Pagoda Outpost, looking up at the brightly lit building.

She suddenly stopped, her raised foot hovering in mid-air for a moment before she brought it back down.

That doesn't seem right.

What's with this swaggering in like that?

As the dean of Shrek Outer Court, sneaking into the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters—what kind of talk would that make?

She glanced around; the area around her was empty.

She didn't bring any attendants. She didn't tell anyone she was coming, and she didn't even ask a driver to take her.

Looking back now, it was indeed a bit hasty.

It seems Leng Yaozhu hasn't left yet.

The Sky Phoenix Douluo's Mecha is still parked on the dedicated helipad at Heavenly Sea Stadium.

If she went in now and bumped into Leng Yaozhu in the lobby, the scene would be unimaginable.

How did she explain it? That I came to visit?

Are you saying I came here as a tourist? Or are you saying I came to recruit your disciples?

Cai Yue'er bit her lip, took a few steps back, and hid in the shadows of the street corner.

I'll squat here for a while and wait until Leng Yaozhu leaves before going in. Anyway, that old woman won't stay overnight in Skysea City.

She waited until everyone left, then quietly went to find Bai Yuan.

He left without a trace after saying that.

Cai Yue'er leaned against the wall, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the gate of the Spirit Pagoda Outpost.

She stood in the shadows, waiting for the right moment.

Leng Yaozhu stood by the window; she had come out for some fresh air.

Unexpectedly, they sensed a familiar presence lingering outside the gate of the encampment.

That aura was elusive and secretive.

Leng Yaozhu looked at him for a while to make sure she hadn't mistaken him for someone else.

She silently walked down the stairs, through the lobby, and pushed open the door to the compound.

Cai Yue'er was leaning against the shadows at the street corner, staring blankly at the gate of the camp, unaware that someone was approaching.

What are you doing here, Cai Yue'er?
