The Advantage Is Mine! I Want Both the Divine Artifact and the Golden Dragon King! Departing for the Star Luo Empire!
Bai Yuan didn't stop walking; he just glanced at her sideways.
"So that's what they were waiting for!"
"They really don't play dirty tricks!"
"As expected of her!"
His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then moved away.
"Guess!"
"Perhaps I really am?"
He continued walking forward, Gu Yuena watched his retreating figure without asking any further questions.
I simply kept that unanswered question in my mind.
She quickened her pace to catch up with him, walking side by side in the morning light.
Hmph, just as I expected.
His lack of denial was the best confirmation.
He's pretending to be nonchalant on the surface, but inside he's probably panicking and trying to cover it up, right?
She glanced at him sideways; Bai Yuan's profile appeared calm, revealing no emotion.
She silently completed the rest of her plan in her mind:
When we get back, we need to assign tasks to Zi JI others, focusing on investigating the area around Dragon Valley and the traces of the Aeon.
She withdrew her gaze, her pace not slowing, but rather she slightly gathered her thoughts.
Clever as I am...
The revival of Soul Beast is just around the corner.
Sea God Pavilion.
Yun Ming stood at the window of the Sea God Pavilion.
His gaze shifted from the window to Ya Li.
Ya Li had just walked in from outside, holding a list in her hand.
"Come and take a look at the Star Luo Empire Exchange Program."
"How will the other candidates be chosen? Should we hold a selection competition?"
Yun Ming's gaze lingered on the list for a moment:
"Let's tentatively choose Gu Yue and Bai Yuan for now."
"Selection of others."
Ya Li nodded:
"Understood. I'll go arrange it."
She paused.
"However, we need to discuss this with Sister Yue to see how to handle this challenge."
"Okay, go ahead and do it."
Ya Li didn't say anything more and turned to walk out the door.
Meanwhile, Leng Yaozhu was sitting in her office.
She was silent for a moment, then picked up the Soul Guidance Communicator on the table and dialed a number:
"We need to prepare for things on the Star Luo Empire's side in advance."
"No matter what the situation is over there, he can't have something happen to him there."
"Use all of the Leng Family's connections to prepare for their arrival on the Star Luo Continent."
A crisp reply came from the other end of the communicator, without any further questions.
She put down the communicator and leaned back in her chair.
She didn't get up immediately, but just sat there quietly.
Recently, more and more geniuses have joined the Leng Family, all thanks to that child.
She knew perfectly well who these people were after.
It's not just the Leng Family's name, nor the Spirit Pagoda's signboard.
It's that figure who topped the Youth Genius Ranking at Shrek at the age of ten.
The younger generation of those families are finding their way into the Spirit Pagoda through him.
They placed their bets on someone they believed would fly very far.
But she also knew that many people were watching him.
She had to make sure his backing was solid, leaving no gaps or weaknesses.
Yun Ming's high regard for him is now plain to see.
Although Long Yeyue did not make a public statement, her silence itself was a signal.
She sat quietly for a moment:
"Don't think you can easily manipulate us either."
Let's see who's more clever.
Her voice was soft, carrying a certainty that didn't need to be heard.
At the same time.
When Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena arrived at the reception room.
The people from the Star Luo Empire were already waiting there.
Several figures in white uniforms stood out in the morning light, and people's gazes lingered on him for a moment.
Someone whispered:
"Is he the number one on the Genius Ranking?"
Bai Yuan did not respond and stood still in front of the reception desk.
Star Luo Teacher, who was at the head of the group, nodded slightly, as if to greet him, and extended her hand as if to shake his hand.
Bai Yuan didn't avoid it and naturally reached out to shake it.
The moment their hands touched, a faint aura emanated from the depths of the Core Flame.
It travels upstream along the point of contact, like an invisible thread.
He lightly touched the boundary of the other party's mental energy, then withdrew, as if nothing had happened.
Star Luo Teacher's expression did not change significantly.
But his hand clenched slightly as he withdrew it.
It felt like I'd been gently pricked by something.
"Ah--"
He let out a short, suppressed sound.
The student next to him immediately turned around:
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
The teacher waved her hand, her voice returning to normal.
"Nothing."
Bai Yuan then chimed in at the opportune moment:
"Perhaps he hasn't had enough rest."
He smiled, as if offering the other person a graceful way out.
Star Luo Teacher looked at him, her smile containing nothing superfluous.
He withdrew his hand, no longer probing, and simply stood there quietly.
He silently estimated in his mind:
He was two major ranks higher than the other, and should not have been intimidated by the aura of a junior.
But the sharp pain he had felt just moments before still lingered faintly on the edge of his senses.
And Shrek's teachers were there too.
He couldn't possibly use too much of his Soul Power here to trace the source of that aura.
He looked at Bai Yuan again:
This kid... he's gone way too far.
Fortunately, his student didn't fight him, otherwise his Dao heart would probably have shattered on the spot.
He cleared his throat and steered the conversation back on track:
"We at the Monster Academy certainly have quite a few worthy opponents."
Exchanges between strong individuals are beneficial to both sides.
"I wonder if you... would be interested in going over there to take a look?"
Bai Yuan did not hesitate:
"Okay, I'll go."
He was also silently rummaging through his Remembrance of the Monster Academy:
Long Yue, Dragon Mountain Dragon King of Martial Soul Mountain, titled "Mountain Dragon," nicknamed "Dragon Madman."
He's a formidable figure, considered one of the top in the Star Luo Empire.
And there's his teacher, En Ci, the Star Luo Empire National Preceptor, Martial Soul Holy Light Dragon.
He looked at Gu Yue beside him, following the timeline of the original work.
Tang Wulin should also be selected, but other Remembrance are somewhat hazy.
He snapped out of his thoughts and gave a slight bow to the teacher beside him:
"Teacher, I would like to request a few days of seclusion to adjust my state of mind."
The teacher nodded:
"Okay, go ahead."
Bai Yuan didn't linger and turned to walk out of the reception room.
Gu Yuena followed behind him, and the two walked out of the hall one after the other.
Behind me, I could hear Star Luo Teacher and his students talking in hushed tones, but I couldn't make out what they were saying.
A few days later.
Shrek Academy.
Bai Yuan stood in front of the assembled group, his gaze sweeping over the figures in front of him.
He saw Yue Zhengyu, Yuanen Yehui, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan Xu Lizhi.
Seven people stood in neat rows.
It really was them.
He recalled the names that Teacher Shen had circled on the list earlier, even though he hadn't fully decided on them at the time.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi.
As expected, they chose the future Shrek Seven Devils!
Before he could think it through, a voice rang in his ears:
"Big Brother Bai! I'm here!"
Tang Wulin stood in the middle of the group, waving vigorously at him.
Her smile shone brightly in the morning light, as if she were afraid he wouldn't see her.
Bai Yuan nodded to him, but before he could say anything.
Xie Xie's hushed voice came from beside them, tinged with a sense of helplessness:
"What are you doing, Tang Wulin?!" Tang
Wulin seemed to realize then that he had shouted a bit too loudly, and scratched his head.
But the smile on her face didn't disappear.
Gu Yuena stood beside Bai Yuan.
Her face was expressionless, her gaze fixed straight ahead, as she listened quietly to Teacher Shen explaining the itinerary.
But her gaze lingered on Tang Wulin for a fleeting moment.
He's here.
His aroma was even more delicious than when we last met.
Hehehehe!
I was just worried about not having a chance to make a move!
Here it is!
She subtly withdrew her gaze.
We just need to wait for the right opportunity.
Everything is mine now!
Divine artifacts and the Golden Dragon King!
She wants them all!
She silently planned her actions after arriving in the Star Luo Empire.
The formation won't stay this tight forever; there will always be gaps.
There will always be a moment when she can naturally get close to you.
"Everyone, prepare to board the Soul Guidance Bus."
"Let's head to Tianhai!"
