A Rebellious Disciple Who Defied His Master! The Agreement Between Bai Yuan and Leng Yaozhu!

Leng Yaozhu's expression remained unchanged, but Bai Yuan noticed that her hand holding the teacup stopped moving, as if she was waiting for something to happen next.

"Moreover, this family is quite powerful. They not only possess the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, but also have multiple bloodline branches."

"The current patriarch Yuanen Zhentian, is rumored to have reached the Limit Douluo."

"He himself is also a key figure that Shrek Academy is trying to recruit!"

Bai Yuan paused, observing the changes in Leng Yaozhu's expression.

Leng Yaozhu, but her slightly fixed gaze revealed her seriousness.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell on the twilight outside the window, as if she were pondering something.

After a moment, she looked away, her voice becoming a bit calmer than before:

Are you sure this is true?

"I've checked," Bai Yuan said calmly.

"Yuanen Yehui, a core member of the Yuanen Family, is currently a second-year student at the Shrek Academy."

As far as I know, she is the granddaughter of the current clan chief.

His Martial Soul Titan Giant Ape and Fallen Angel, and he currently presents himself as a male at the academy.

Another member of their family Yuanen Tianshang.

A level 93 Titled Douluo is also seeking a teaching position at the Shrek Academy.

Leng Yaozhu tapped her fingers lightly twice on the table, lost in thought.

"The Yuanen Family has always lived in seclusion, but now they are actively sending their descendants into Shrek and even having core members seek teaching positions... This is no coincidence; they are orchestrating this."

She looked up at Bai Yuan.

"What do you want me to do by telling me all this?"

Bai Yuan met her gaze:

"I don't know which side the Yuanen Family will ultimately side with, but I do know one thing."

If they continue to associate with Shrek Academy, they will become an important pawn on Shrek's side should the Qiangu Family ever take action against the Leng Family in the future.

Rather than waiting for them to fully commit, it's better to extend an olive branch before they've made up their minds.

Leng Yaozhu remained silent for a moment, as if weighing the weight of these words, then put down her teacup:

"I've made a note of this. Let me know as soon as you have any new information."

Bai Yuan nodded:

"Clear."

Leng Yaozhu's gaze lingered on his face for a moment:

"Alright, let's eat first."

Bai Yuan didn't say anything more, but quietly followed behind her, walking towards the restaurant.

The twilight outside the window had completely fallen, and the lights of the Spirit Pagoda lit up one by one in the night.

Those forces hidden in the shadows, like the Yuanen Family, are gradually surfacing.

What he needs to do is to grasp every possible thread in his own hands before they all settle into place.

After a while, a Soul Guidance Dining Cart slowly drove into the room, filled with steaming Teng Teng dishes.

Each dish is carefully prepared using those precious ingredients.

Gu Yuena's gaze never left the moment the food cart appeared.

Before Leng Yaozhu could even say "please," she had already picked up her chopsticks.

Pick up a slice of Red Blood Fish and put it in your mouth.

The movements were so fluid, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

Leng Yaozhu watched Gu Yuena devour the food with a whirlwind.

The initial relief in his eyes gradually turned into surprise:

"Well... it's normal for children to have a larger appetite as they grow."

She saw that Gu Yuena had already started to finish the third dish.

The confidence in his voice had diminished.

"But isn't that a bit too much? Even the physically strong ones don't eat as much as her."

Bai Yuan sat beside her, his gaze falling on Gu Yuena's focused figure as she ate, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Na'er's love of food hasn't changed, and it's actually gotten worse lately.

He originally thought that Gu Yuena hadn't split into two people.

The peculiar characteristics of a competitive eater should have disappeared, but it turns out they just exist in a different form.

Leng Yaozhu refilled the wine glass:

"Come, come, the teacher is too busy and hasn't had much time."

Today is a belated celebration of your successful studies at Shrek.

She raised her glass, her amber eyes reflecting a soft light. "Come on, let's clink glasses."

Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena raised their glasses at the same time.

The wine glasses clinked gently in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.

After dinner

After Gu Yuena finished eating, she went back to rest.

Bai Yuan was left behind to have a heart-to-heart talk with Leng Yaozhu!

Inside the room, Leng Yaozhu's long dress inadvertently loosened and fell down, revealing a section of her ivory-white shoulders and neck.

Her long, bright red hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

A few strands of hair fell around her collarbone, making her look even more radiant than usual.

No wonder it's on the must-eat list for Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King!

Who wouldn't want to be a rebellious disciple who defies their master?

Then Leng Yaozhu noticed the blazing gaze and asked in surprise:

"What kind of look is that child giving me?"

"That's a bit strange!"

"Am I seeing things?"

She rubbed her eyes and found that his eyes had returned to their original state.

"I must have misread it. Why am I overthinking things?"

After a long pause, she spoke.

His voice lacked its usual sharp, commanding quality, instead carrying a rare hint of relaxation.

"Your teacher didn't expect you to grow up so quickly."

I remember when I first met you, you were just a little child, barely able to stand up straight.

"Now that they're so tall, they can stand on their own."

Her gaze fell on him.

"To be honest, at first I just thought you had good talent and wanted to train someone who could be useful."

I never imagined you'd end up like this.

Bai Yuan sat opposite her, his gaze fixed on the teacup in front of him.

He quickly weighed the weight of those words in his mind.

Leng Yaozhu rarely showed such emotions, and she would never proactively reveal her motives.

She's saying all this not to appeal to emotions, but to lay the groundwork for her next move.

He picked up his teacup. "The teacher taught well."

"If it weren't for my teacher, I might still be in the orphanage, never even having the chance to awaken my Martial Soul."

He wasn't lying, he just didn't say the second half of the sentence aloud.

He remembers those things and will give back at the appropriate time, but he won't be bound by them.

Leng Yaozhu stared at him, as if trying to find some flaw in his face.

After looking at it for a moment, she seemed to give up.

Lowering her eyes, the softness in her voice also faded:

"Alright, it's getting late."

"Go back and rest. You have to go back to Shrek the day after tomorrow."

Bai Yuan stood up and bowed slightly to her:

"Teacher, you should get some rest too."

He turned and walked towards the door. As he reached the door, Leng Yaozhu's voice came from behind him:

"Bai Yuan."

He stopped walking, but didn't turn around.

Be careful in Shrek.

She didn't say anything about being careful, but Bai Yuan knew what she meant.

The Qiangu Family, the Sea God Pavilion, and those forces lurking in the shadows.

She didn't tell him everything because she knew he knew.

Bai Yuan didn't turn around, but simply responded with a "Mm."

"Teacher, I will do it, I will get you to that position."

She smiled.

Leng Yaozhu did not answer immediately.

Her gaze fell upon him, as if she were reassessing the weight of this young man at this moment.

A moment later, the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards:

"So you knew what the teacher wanted to hear."

Bai Yuan smiled:

"My teacher has taught me for so long, if I can't even see this, then I would be letting my teacher down."

She gave a soft "hmm" and leaned back into the sofa.

After a while, her voice was even softer than before, carrying a hint of weariness and anticipation that she rarely showed in public:

"The teacher is looking forward to that day."

Bai Yuan stood at the door:

"Teacher, I won't keep you waiting too long."

He pushed open the door and went out.

The footsteps faded into the distance in the corridor.

Leng Yaozhu sat alone on the sofa, and after a long while, she gently closed her eyes.
