The Deadliest Thing Is Letting Your Imagination Run Wild-Lin Ye Wants to Keep a Beauty Hidden Away

Flender had already reached an agreement with Zhao Wuji.

They simply weren't capable of training Lin Ye.

A peerless prodigy like him surely had a powerful background and had already received specialized training.

If they got involved, they might only hinder Lin Ye's growth.

So the best thing to do was leave him alone.

Let Lin Ye cultivate on his own!

As long as he belonged to Shrek, that was all that mattered.

When Lin Ye made a name for himself in the Soul Master World, Shrek Academy would become famous too.

That was enough!

Afternoon training continued.

But when Lin Ye arrived at the training grounds, Zhao Wuji pulled him aside.

"Lin Ye, after careful consideration, the dean and I have decided that you should cultivate on your own."

"Huh? Why?"

Lin Ye was stunned. They wanted him to cultivate by himself?

Good grief, Shrek Academy was really irresponsible!

This was too much.

"Ahem. We know you must come from some Soul Master force and be one of their key talents."

"You have your own way of cultivating, so it wouldn't be appropriate for us to interfere."

"So, you can cultivate on your own and move freely around the academy, as long as you don't disturb anyone else."

At that, Lin Ye's brow twitched several times.

Now he understood.

So Zhao Wuji and Flender had been letting their imaginations run wild.

They'd imagined him as a prodigy from some top Soul Master force, and that was why they didn't dare train him.

Imagination really was the deadliest thing!

So now he could just do as they said and cultivate by himself?

It didn't seem to make much difference.

Most of his level-ups came from checking in. Cultivating on his own yielded the least.

He'd be better off using that time to find more places to check in.

Now that he could move freely around the academy, that was actually pretty nice.

Wandering around whenever he had nothing to do seemed to fit his original plan perfectly.

He could just watch from the sidelines and quietly improve himself.

"If that's what you think, Teacher Zhao, then I'll cultivate on my own?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Wuji was very pleased. Lin Ye really was a prodigy from some top force.

It was a pity he didn't know what kind of Soul Master force could raise such an astonishing talent.

The Clear Sky Sect?

No, Lin Ye's Martial Soul was the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, completely different from the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer.

It wasn't one of the Martial Souls belonging to any other sect he knew, either.

So Lin Ye might come from some unknown but incredibly powerful Soul Master force!

Douluo Continent was enormous. It seemed only natural that powerful, unfamiliar forces existed.

"Teacher Zhao, then I'll go wander around Suotuo City?"

"Go ahead, but don't get into any trouble. Remember what happened to Mubai."

Zhao Wuji sighed, then reminded him.

If another student got caught in bed with someone and was taken away by Spirit Hall, things would get ugly.

The whole Shrek Academy would become a laughingstock.

"Got it."

Lin Ye waved and headed out.

[Honestly, I'm such a pure person. How could I go somewhere like a brothel?]

[And go looking for married women? I'm not going to be like Dai Mubai!]

[That guy keeps picking up lovers even after getting married.]

[Besides, with all these pretty girls around me, why would I need to go looking elsewhere?]

Lin Ye could only grumble to himself about Zhao Wuji's warning.

Dai Mubai couldn't keep his lust in check. Even after getting together with Zhu Zhuqing, he'd still go looking for other women.

They said the flowers outside the home smelled sweeter, and he seemed to live by that principle.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was waiting for training to start, clenched her fists.

That bastard Dai Mubai deserved another beating.

What a disgusting piece of trash!

Ning Rongrong turned to watch Lin Ye leave, a few thoughts bubbling up in her mind.

That guy's pretty clever. He knows I'm a beauty!

Her focus seemed a little off.

But knowing Lin Ye wasn't going to Suotuo City to chase women put her at ease.

[Buy a house, buy a house! I'm going to keep a beauty hidden away!]

[No, it's just to make things more convenient. The dorm walls are way too thin!]

Thinking back to last night.

It had been wonderful, but the dorm's soundproofing was terrible.

Once or twice would be fine, but if it went on for a long time, someone was bound to hear.

Just thinking about Tang San and the others hearing them made his skin crawl.

He had no doubt those guys would eavesdrop through the walls.

Hearing Lin Ye's thoughts, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance.

They couldn't believe this guy!

He actually wanted to keep a beauty hidden away?

No, he wanted to buy a house so they could do those indecent things.

"Should we go find Xiao Wu tonight?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes shifted. Lin Ye probably wouldn't be back that soon.

They could go see Xiao Wu before he returned.

After what he'd put them through last night, didn't they deserve to 'interrogate' him?

Oscar grew more and more envious when he saw that Lin Ye didn't have to train.

Did Ning Rongrong give him a lot of money? He's even going to Suotuo City for fun!

He was eaten up with envy.

He wanted a super-rich beauty to look after him, too.

Unfortunately, the academy's girls all seemed closer to Lin Ye.

He had no idea what kind of magic Lin Ye had that made so many beauties pay attention to him.

Lin Ye had no idea what Oscar was thinking. He was in a pretty good mood.

They said you acquired a taste for something after trying it, and it was true!

How could you know how wonderful it was before experiencing it for the first time?

After enjoying it, he really was looking forward to next time.

But for safety's sake, he needed to buy a house first.

Once he arrived in Suotuo City, he soon found a real estate agency.

He picked a home near the commercial street, which would make all kinds of things more convenient.

He paid in full!

One swipe of his gold card, and it was done!

He really did have quite a bit of money. His various ways of making a fortune over the years had left him rolling in wealth.

He'd also established a sizable Chamber of Commerce with branches all over Douluo Continent.

It might not be as wealthy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but it wasn't far behind.

Only Xiao Wu knew about all this!

After all, they'd been inseparable for six years. There was no need to hide something like establishing a Chamber of Commerce, and it would have been impossible to keep secret anyway.

With the house bought, all that remained was the furniture.

He didn't have to worry about decorating. It came with luxurious furnishings.

Back at Shrek Academy, afternoon training had ended. There was still about an hour until dinner.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing hurried straight to Xiao Wu's dorm.

"Xiao Wu, you were quite something last night, huh?"

Ning Rongrong flopped onto the bed.

"What? What do you mean, quite something?"

Xiao Wu's face turned red. She knew there was no way they hadn't found out about last night.

But being teased about it made her uncomfortable.

"Hehe! Lin Ye's thoughts were so frequent, how could we not know?"

"I never expected you to be so eager—and so cooperative!"

"Cooperative? Don't, don't say things like that."

Xiao Wu's face was as red as an apple.

She really had been very cooperative with Lin Ye last night. Maybe she'd wanted to leave the deepest impression on him.

So she'd put in extra effort.

"Hehe. You don't have to tell us, but at least tell us how you cultivated so fast. Did Lin Ye help you?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes shifted.

Lin Ye was a Soul Emperor, while Xiao Wu was already level forty-two.

And her Soul Ring Configuration was incredibly powerful. Ning Rongrong suspected Lin Ye had something to do with it.

She must have received his help.

Ning Rongrong was very interested in getting stronger now.
