"Let this old man see if Jiang Xiu is as exceptionally talented as the rumors say, and whether he is stronger than Tiandang was in his youth..."

Yuanen Zhentian stood tall on the ground, his bright, earthy-yellow eyes flashing with a strange light as he gazed at the gates of the Shrek Academy.

He arrived in Shrek City the night before last, but he did not go directly to the Body Sect. Instead, he secretly learned some information about Jiang Xiu and did not listen to the Shrek Academy's one-sided story.

Everything revealed in these pieces of information demonstrates Jiang Xiu's extraordinary talent.

Today, he intends to meet this prodigy to see if he is as Li from the Sea God Pavilion described, and also to inquire about his granddaughter.

And to keep Jiang Xiu away from his granddaughter...

After all, the causal relationships within the Demon Plane are too complex for a teenager like Jiang Xiu to grasp.

Na'er and Gu Yue were also waiting in front of the Shrek Academy's gate.

"Na'er, did you use a power that doesn't belong to you?" Gu Yue seemed to see through Na'er's disguise and approached her step by step with a hint of sarcasm.

"No... nowhere." Na'er held her head high, but her beautiful eyes darted away slightly.

Suddenly, Na'er seemed to notice something, looking at Gu Yue's long, slender legs under her gorgeous black robe, which were actually covered by... black stockings!

"Gu Yue, you have ulterior motives!" Na'er pointed a finger, her fair cheeks puffing out slightly, a sense of crisis rising in her heart. She hadn't expected Gu Yue to act like this so soon after arriving!

Now they're not even trying to avoid her anymore! She wears these things with the lights off!

"Hmm." Gu Yue raised her head slightly, revealing a cold and beautiful smile, and looked at Na'er with a teasing expression.

She wanted to make Na'er understand that she couldn't Guardian anything.

As the saying goes, "On festive occasions, one feels especially close to silks." Before she arrived, she had already familiarized herself with information about the human world. Rumor has it that the black silks she wore were actually Critical Strike Stockings.

Although she didn't understand the specific meaning, she guessed it might be a powerful way to win over a guy...

She planned to outwit Jiang Xiu, who possessed the Golden Dragon King Origin and was favored by the Old Plane Spirit, and make him fall into depravity!

And today, the time she chose is precisely the annual Magpie Bridge Day.

"Foolish Na'er, are you ready to make way for me?" Gu Yue's red lips parted slightly as she secretly transmitted her voice.

Na'er's beautiful eyes flickered, and the corners of her lips curled up as she said, "Then how come you, clever Gu Yue, got a zero on the Shrek Academy's assessment?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's proud expression froze, and her cool and beautiful face flushed slightly. She had encountered an abnormal Sea God Pavilion Elder!

Immediately, Gu Yue gave a light snort, trying to change the subject, "I've already begun my journey into the Spirit Pagoda headquarters."

"Then why did you get a zero on the test, Gu Yue?" Na'er asked, looking bewildered.

"I will reach the top of the Spirit Pagoda before you."

"How come you got a zero on the test, Gu Yue?"

"..." Gu Yue gritted her teeth, her face darkening, as if she couldn't avoid this dark history. No matter what she said, Na'er's counterattack seemed flawless.

"No, after Di Tian captures Cai Yue'er, he must torture her severely! He must shock her with electric shocks!" Gu Yue made up her mind.

When Na'er saw that Gu Yue remained silent, a smile appeared on her lips.

Gu Yue's dark past will haunt her for the rest of her life!

Thinking of her plan, Na'er's beautiful eyes flashed as she looked at Gu Yue and said, "By the way, Gu Yue, you didn't complete the task of getting the inner core for me last time. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"

"The inner core has returned to Jiang Xiu's hands," Gu Yue said, pausing slightly.

"But you didn't do that," Na'er continued meaningfully.

Gu Yue frowned, but knowing she was in the wrong, she asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I must tame these Ferocious Beast!"

Na'er stared intently at Gu Yue and spoke solemnly, enunciating each word clearly.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's heart stirred, and a brilliant plan came to mind. If there were Ferocious Beast around Na'er, wouldn't it be easier for her to know Na'er's every move?

After a moment's consideration, Gu Yue said softly, "Only one Ferocious Beast can help you. Who do you want?"

"Let me think..." Na'er didn't ask for too much for the first time, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes, "Let's go with Xiong Jun, let him help me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes smiled even more, and she agreed without hesitation.

"Although Xiong Jun isn't very bright, he's absolutely loyal. That foolish Na'er actually planted a spy right next to her," Gu Yue thought to herself.

Seeing Gu Yue agree, Na'er's lips curled into a meaningful smile. She thought to herself, "Although Xiong Jun is loyal, compared to other cunning Ferocious Beast, he is reliable and hardworking. Giving him a tangible future makes him easier to win over!"

"Gu Yue / Na'er, this is the beginning of your downfall!"

"The struggle over half a body has always been like this!"

For a moment, Na'er and Gu Yue smiled in unison.

Just then, Jiang Xiu's tall figure walked out of the Shrek Academy.

"Na'er, Gu Yue, you're both here so early?" Jiang Xiu had just stepped out of the courtyard when he saw the two stunningly beautiful women outside the academy, and then walked over to them.

And it's still far from the time they agreed upon.

"Senior Jiang Xiu, we first-year students get out of school a little earlier." Gu Yue ran her hand through her hair and smiled, her usually cool and aloof face now showing a touch of approachability like that of a junior.

"Gu Yue, you're such a contrast!" Na'er thought to herself, annoyed.

"Boss, you must be hungry, Zhou, let's go to the hotel." Na'er stepped to Jiang Xiu's side, as if asserting her dominance.

Gu Yue gave Na'er a rather beautiful glare, not wanting to say who was hungry.

Looking at Na'er standing beside him, isolating Gu Yue, Jiang Xiu chuckled slightly and said, "Let's go. Today is a welcome dinner for Gu Yue."

Just as the three were about to leave Spirit Ice Plaza, a tall old man walked towards them. He was none other than Yuanen Zhentian, who had been waiting for them.

"You must be Jiang Xiu. I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Do you have the time?" Yuanen Zhentian said loudly, looking at Jiang Xiu.

"Limit Douluo approaching the level of Quasi-God!" After sensing the aura emanating from Yuanen Zhentian, Na'er and Gu Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Human powerhouses of this level have already reached the pinnacle of the Soul Master World.

"May I ask who you are, senior?" Upon seeing the person before him, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at the other person's face, he had a feeling of familiarity mixed with strangeness.

Upon hearing Jiang Xiu's address, Yuanen Zhentian nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.

He's a gifted young man, yet he's neither arrogant nor impatient, and he knows how to be humble—he's a promising talent.

"Rest assured, I mean no harm," Yuanen Zhentian then waved his hand, "I am the current patriarch of the Yuanen Family, and also the grandfather of Yuanen Yehui. My name is... Yuanen Zhentian."

"Heaven Dou Douluo Yuanen Zhentian!" Jiang Xiu's expression suddenly froze as he looked at the person in front of him, a look of surprise on his face.

He wondered why the face looked so familiar. In his search for the Yuanen Family, he had seen a photo of Yuanen Zhentian when he was young a hundred years ago at his teacher Zhen Hua's place. Wasn't this the same Yuanen Zhentian? Only his face looked a little old and had a touch of vicissitude.

Because the Yuanen Family was very secluded, even Zhen Hua, who had extensive connections, only had photos of him when he was young, which is why he didn't recognize him immediately.

"That's not right, why did the Yuanen Family come out ahead of schedule?" Jiang Xiu's eyes were full of confusion.

But at the same time, a feeling of excitement welled up inside him. He was just worried about not being able to find the Yuanen Family, and now Yuanen Zhentian had actually taken the initiative to come to him!

He wondered who was so kind as to send Yuanen Zhentian to find him; if he knew, he would definitely thank them in person.

Upon learning Yuanen Zhentian's identity, he instantly understood that without someone notifying him, Yuanen Zhentian, who was living in seclusion in a remote corner, would never have known about him, much less come looking for him.

"I wonder what brings Senior Zhentian here?" Jiang Xiu asked, regaining his composure.

Yuanen Zhentian slowly said, "There are some things about Yuanen Yehui. I wonder if you have time, Jiang?"

Jiang Xiu did not answer immediately, but looked at Gu Yue, after all, it was Gu Yue who had invited him today.

"Since you've come looking for us, senior, there's no reason to ignore you. It's too noisy here, so why don't you come with us to the hotel up ahead to talk some more?" Gu Yue said generously.

Yuanen Zhentian thought for a moment and then agreed, "Alright, thank you very much, young friends."

Gu Yue smiled gently and calmly led the way, while Na'er followed closely beside Jiang Xiu, keeping a close eye on Yuanen Zhentian.

Soon, the four figures disappeared into the crowd.

Just after the four left, the space next to the Shrek Academy trembled slightly, and a figure dressed in black robes walked out from it.

"Hmph, everything is under my control!"

A smug glint flashed in Long Yeyue's eyes; this was exactly what she wanted to see.

By pitting the Yuanen Family against the Body Sect, they could test the Body Sect's true strength.

Even if it doesn't match up, it can still keep Jiang Xiu away from Yuanen Yehui, Yuanen Yehui, this genius, to remain at the Shrek Academy.

After all, who can solve the Demon Plane if they leave Shrek Academy?

Yuanen Zhentian wanted to protect his granddaughter, and regardless of his true feelings, he had to keep Yuanen Yehui at the Shrek Academy.

And Shrek Academy will have another "down-to-earth and hardworking" strong person.

"This time, I will slowly weaken the strength of your Body Sect until you are completely destroyed!"

Thinking of this, Long Yeyue's lips curled into a smile, her eyes filled with satisfaction for the future.

"Chen Xinjie's side must have started too... the War God Temple..." As if remembering something, Long Yeyue's lips curled up even more.

Although she wasn't a member of the War God Temple, she was able to get help from Chen Xinjie, and she was aware of Chen Xinjie's feelings for her. The War God Temple was just something she could talk about.

Although the Body Sect is thriving now, it has no one in the Federation...
