Demon Plane? What the Heck Was That?
After leaving the teleportation array in Suotuo City, Zhu Zhuqing felt a flash of light before her eyes, and she found herself in an unfamiliar place.
She looked up and saw a magnificent and imposing building standing before her. This was the Star Luo City Branch of the Shrek Academy. She had heard of the academy's fame, which spread along with the embarrassing deeds of the First Prince Dai Weisi.
However, when Zhu Zhuqing returned here, her eyes were filled with complex emotions, and she couldn't help but feel a myriad of feelings.
After Zhu Zhuqing left the Star Luo Empire, she thought she would probably never return here in her life, but unexpectedly she came back.
At this moment, Dai Yun'er smiled and nodded to Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing seeing her. Compared to Zhu Zhuqing's mixed feelings, Dai Yun'er seemed to be in a very good mood, with a pleasant smile on her face.
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze fell on Dai Yun'er, who looked very happy, and she couldn't help but ask Dai Yun'er some questions out of curiosity.
"Sister Yun'er... do you know our new teacher?"
Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself that Dai Yun'er must know what kind of person the teacher is to be in such a good mood.
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Dai Yun'er couldn't help but smile, her eyes sparkling, and a faint smile curving her lips.
"Of course I know, I know it very well."
When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, she looked at Dai Yun'er with some surprise, and then she suddenly realized what was going on, a knowing glint in her eyes.
"Is Teacher Dai Tianling... a relative of Sister Yun'er?"
Dai Yun'er smiled and nodded, then explained quite readily.
That's my dad.
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback for a moment when she heard this, then a slight smile appeared on her lips as she said with a hint of teasing.
"So Sister Yun'er is a second-generation disciple of the academy."
When Dai Yun'er heard this, her smile widened even more. She patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder and spoke in a bossy manner.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll protect you."
"I will absolutely not let you suffer the slightest injustice!"
"My dad loves me the most, I'll ask him to give you extra tutoring later."
Returning to the Shrek Academy branch in the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yun'er felt as if she were back home, and her usual reserve seemed to have faded somewhat.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes dimmed slightly as she silently compared her father to Dai Yun'er's father.
Compared to the father Dai Yun'er described, her own father seemed much colder.
In the Duke of Nether's view, he and his daughters were perhaps nothing more than bargaining chips in political marriages.
Especially when she thought about the ugly face of the Star Luo Empire Emperor during the competition, Zhu Zhuqing felt nauseous.
Her childhood in the Duke of Nether Estate might have been a little better, but from the time she could remember, she had been burdened with the mission of assisting her fiancé in inheriting the throne.
And her fiancé is a rather cowardly guy, so her fate probably won't be much better.
As Zhu Zhuqing thought of this, her hands clenched tightly, her feelings becoming somewhat complicated.
Of course, everything has changed now. After spending this time at the Shrek Academy, she actually feels more at home there.
There you'll find not only kind teachers, but also very friendly classmates and friends.
Those warm memories helped her rediscover something she had lost.
"Zhu Zhuqing? What are you thinking about?"
Dai Yun'er's voice interrupted Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts.
Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and then a faint smile reappeared on her face.
"It's nothing, let's go."
Without thinking much, Dai Yun'er grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand and quickly walked into the academy.
The two walked through the corridor and soon arrived at a spacious training ground.
In the center of the training field stood a blond, middle-aged man. He was tall with a sharply defined face, and his presence exuded an air of quiet authority.
When Dai Yun'er saw the middle-aged man, she ran over to him with a smile, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry.
"Dad! I'm home!"
The middle-aged man was Dai Tianling. When he saw Dai Yun'er, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and then his gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly stepped forward and respectfully greeted them.
"Hello, Teacher Dai."
Dai Tianling nodded, then spoke directly to the two of them.
"Yes, everyone's here."
"Then, without further ado, let's begin the lesson immediately."
When Dai Yun'er heard this, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief, and then she asked a question.
"Dad... shall we start right away?"
"Don't you need to catch up with your dearest daughter? It's been months since you last saw her."
Dai Yun'er looked at Dai Tianling pitifully.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Dai Tianling almost softened, but she still spoke earnestly.
"Of course."
"Yun'er, haven't you realized the gap in skill in this competition? Sixteen of you against one person and you still lost, and it was a crushing defeat."
Dai Yun'er felt embarrassed after being spoken to like that by her father, but she didn't dare to refute him directly, so she could only mutter a retort in her heart.
If you were from the same era as me, you might not be a match for Tang Wulin.
Of course, she dared not voice these thoughts aloud, after all, her father was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, and if he knew what she was thinking, she would be in for a world of trouble.
Dai Tianling ignored Dai Yun'er's reluctant expression, turned around and walked towards the depths of the training ground, then said something.
"Follow me."
Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Yun'er exchanged a glance, then quickly followed.
The three crossed the training ground and arrived at a rather secluded place.
There was a small opening, just big enough for one person to pass through, but a chilling aura emanated from it, making people feel uneasy.
When Dai Yun'er saw the cave entrance, she couldn't help but frown, and a look of wariness appeared in her eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing also felt quite uncomfortable at this moment; the chilling aura made her skin crawl with goosebumps.
Dai Tianling stood in front of the cave entrance, her eyes fixed on the two of them, and then she slowly spoke.
"This is a passage to the Demon Plane."
When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, she was stunned. Demon Plane? What is that?
