Xiao Wu's Vigilance: Can't Let Others Pluck the Peach First!

"Oh, we went to eat dessert and visited an auction house. It was quite fun."

"Oh, I see. So that's how it is."

Flender suddenly realized, sighing inwardly to himself.

Lin Ye's life was going pretty well.

The Little Princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect had invited him out for dessert.

Wasn't this basically a direct path to marrying into her family?

It was the rhythm of becoming a man above men in a single step.

The others already knew Ning Rongrong's identity, and their gazes swept between the two of them with deep meaning.

Lin Ye's brow twitched. "Why are you looking at me? I don't sell myself!"

"Right, right, right. How could you call it selling yourself?"

"It's a matter of mutual affection; it's definitely not selling yourself!"

After being interrupted like this, the moods of Zhao Wuji and the others seemed to improve a little.

After all, he was the academy's strongest monster, so they were naturally very concerned about him.

Ning Rongrong was speechless. This guy still claimed he wasn't selling himself?

What was with the inner thoughts about marrying into a wealthy family and sponging off a rich woman?

Forget it, this guy's inner thoughts were sometimes erratic, making them hard to judge.

"Dean, what about the upcoming training plan?"

Lin Ye rolled his eyes. He was clearly very innocent, alright?

He had only just met Ning Rongrong, so how did the conversation turn to such things?

The people at Shrek were quite gossipy.

Speaking of this, Flender also turned serious.

"Regarding the academy's upcoming teaching tasks, that is also the topic for today's discussion. Hmm, let's go to the cafeteria to talk."

The group moved to the cafeteria, where Flender had already hired a few chefs who were now working busily.

Everyone, including Xiao Wu and the others, had been called over.

"The Dean wants to talk about future training tasks?"

Xiao Wu and the others were quite curious.

They had come to Shrek Academy specifically to improve themselves.

It wouldn't do to waste their time.

They were at the age where they could improve rapidly.

Once they were older, there would be no way to level up quickly.

Laying a solid foundation was especially important.

Everyone looked at Flender. After careful consideration, Flender said, "You are all relatively familiar with the current situation of the academy."

"We currently have eight students, but Dai Mubai has been sentenced to three years, so he won't be able to participate in training for the time being."

"Tang San is injured and needs some time to recover."

"And Ma Hongjun is also injured; I estimate his recovery will take a bit longer."

When he mentioned Ma Hongjun, he felt a bit strange inside.

He was his disciple, yet he was now severely injured.

More importantly, the injury was in that specific area.

It could be said that he was basically crippled; it would be difficult for him to be a normal man in the future.

This was a significant blow to him.

Although he was his own disciple, he knew that Ma Hongjun had been foolish.

He had gone out of his way to provoke Lin Ye and the others for no reason.

It was lucky he hadn't been killed.

"Although those few cannot participate in training for now, your cultivation cannot be neglected."

"Therefore, starting tomorrow, the academy will begin formal training for you."

"I hope each of you can persevere. Cultivation is boring and painful."

"Only those who persist can become men above men."

Flender spoke very seriously.

A soul master's cultivation was never a game, nor could it be treated as one.

If one did not know how to work hard, they would eventually be surpassed by others.

Even the best talent would be wasted.

"Understood!"

Lin Ye and the others nodded, starting formal training tomorrow.

No need to wait for Dai Mubai and the other three; overall, things were quite good.

It was just the addition of Oscar that made Xiao Wu and the others feel a bit strange.

Those with impure thoughts still needed to be taught a lesson!

Especially now, with his hidden glances, it made people very uncomfortable.

Although Ning Rongrong's first impression of Oscar wasn't that she was easy to get along with.

But upon seeing Ning Rongrong, he felt she was his destined woman, the one meant for him.

So Oscar truly found it hard to restrain himself now, constantly sneaking glances at Ning Rongrong.

When he learned that Ning Rongrong had gone to Soto City with Lin Ye today, he felt very dejected.

It was as if a gash had been torn open in his heart, causing immense pain.

'Starting formal training tomorrow, they won't have so much time together.'

Oscar comforted himself inwardly.

Ning Rongrong was the woman he had set his sights on, and he would absolutely not give up.

It was just that he didn't seem to have any advantages right now.

Besides his looks and talent being decent, in terms of status and position, he seemed a bit unworthy of Ning Rongrong.

After all, Ning Rongrong was the Little Princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, high and mighty.

How could he possibly win her over?

Oscar pondered this matter the entire time, to the point that he didn't pay attention to anything Flender said later.

"Just rest well today, and start cultivating tomorrow!"

Flender left after speaking.

He still had to find a way to bail Dai Mubai out.

After all, he was a student of the academy, and they couldn't abandon him.

Even if it cost tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins, it would be worth it.

As for Tang San and Ma Hongjun's injuries, they were being taken care of by specialists and wouldn't pose any major problems.

Once they recovered, they could join the training group.

There wasn't much time to be lost anyway.

Everyone emerged from the cafeteria. Xiao Wu linked her arm through Lin Ye's, asking with a giggle, "A Ye, was it fun going to Soto City with Rongrong today?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Lin Ye was confused, yet he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Why did he feel a bit guilty?

No, he was such a pure person, nothing had happened between him and Ning Rongrong, so why should he feel guilty?

Besides, Xiao Wu wasn't his wife, so why should he feel guilty?

Thinking this, he instantly perked up.

"It wasn't fun at all! The auction was too boring!"

"But I did buy some ores. When I have the chance, I'll go to the Blacksmith Shop in Soto City to forge some hidden weapons. That should be quite fun."

"Forge hidden weapons?"

Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, "How about I ask the Dean to set up a forging room for you in the academy?"

"Oh? That would be great."

Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

If he could forge hidden weapons in the academy, it seemed like it would save a lot of time.

It would save him from having to run to Soto City every day, which was quite a waste of time.

"It's just a small matter, you don't need to thank me too much."

[Mmm~ Rich women are truly amazing!]

[Glad I don't need to be kept!]

Their inner thoughts left the three girls speechless.

Could they not be so jumpy?

Xiao Wu knew very well that Lin Ye had considerable assets.

Over the years, he had secretly done many businesses, established some merchant guilds, and opened many shops.

Made a fortune!

Perhaps not as rich as the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, but definitely not far off.

I really don't understand why this stinky guy likes rich women so much.

However, a rich woman like Ning Rongrong is indeed very attractive!

Did A Ye and her have something happen between them in Soto City?

I'll have to keep a close eye on them from now on.

Absolutely cannot let anyone get there first!

As the one who's been with Lin Ye the longest, if someone else plucks the peach first, where would her Sister Xiao Wu's reputation go?
