Outer Academy Cafeteria? It Was Master Ye

Elsewhere, in the Shrek Academy Outer Academy cafeteria.

Among a group of students in their teens, Bai Ran, a six-year-old child who had just awakened his martial soul, stood out noticeably.

As Bai Ran searched from one cafeteria window to another, he still could not find any sign of his uncle.

Bai Ran: Strange, wasn't Uncle working in the Shrek Academy cafeteria? Why couldn't he be found?

As noon classes ended, more and more Outer Academy students came to the cafeteria to buy food.

Before long, Bai Ran, this little boy whose every action seemed odd, caught the attention of some students, especially the female students.

"What a cute child, Beibei. Look how anxious he is, running around in circles. Let's go help him."

"Hey, Tang Ya, don't do anything reckless."

The speakers were none other than third-year students Tang Ya and Beibei, the current sect master of the Tang Sect and the Tang Sect's senior disciple, respectively.

Tang Ya was not a rash person. On the contrary, she was quite shrewd.

Any child who could appear here was surely the child of some Shrek Academy faculty member.

Even if she could not help, getting acquainted and making an impression would still be good. What if the child had some important figure behind him?

And even if not, doing a good deed would at least make her feel good.

"Little brother, did you run into some trouble?"

Just as Bai Ran was preparing to find the cafeteria manager and ask where his uncle was cooking.

A young girl suddenly appeared before him, looking around fourteen or fifteen years old.

Seeing this kind of older sister, Bai Ran immediately recalled how he had been surrounded by a group of older sisters two years ago.

"Tang Ya, could you not run so fast?"

Originally, Bai Ran had planned to run away immediately.

However, as a young man appeared beside the girl and Bai Ran heard the name he spoke.

Bai Ran immediately stopped in his tracks.

Tang Ya?

The current sect master of the Tang Sect?

Then the person beside Tang Ya was Beibei.

After all, the only men who could stay by Tang Ya's side without being disliked by her were Beibei and Huo Yuhao.

But judging by how close the two were, it could only be Beibei.

Thus, Bai Ran changed his mind and said, "Big sister, I can't find my uncle."

Given Tang Ya's years of experience living in the academy, finding someone should have been an easy task.

The Tang Sect might have declined, but it was still quite authoritative when it came to gathering information. Tang Ya was outwardly sociable and had made many friends, so she knew more or less about matters within the academy.

"Little brother, who is your uncle?"

Tang Ya was very happy to help children find their guardians, especially when the little brother was so cute. That was the important part, wasn't it?

"Ye Tian."

"Ye Tian?"

Upon hearing the name, Tang Ya began to ponder. Was there a teacher named Ye Tian in the Outer Academy?

However, Beibei, who stood beside Tang Ya, sharply contracted his pupils upon hearing that name.

"Little friend, is your uncle Master Ye Tian?"

"Mhm, mhm."

"Ye as in leaf, Tian as in sky?"

"Yes. Are there many cafeteria chefs in the academy named Ye Tian?"

Facing Beibei's questioning, Bai Ran was somewhat confused. But then again, Shrek Academy had so many people that there might really be quite a few with the same name.

A cafeteria chef?

Hearing the child's words, the corner of Beibei's mouth could not help twitching.

Master Ye was the chief person in charge of the Inner Academy cafeteria, as well as the highest-ranked food-type soul master in the academy.

The food supplements he personally made were extremely difficult even for Inner Academy students to reserve. Without some ability, there was no way to get them.

When Beibei had first entered the academy three years ago, he had been fortunate enough to eat one. The reason he had managed it was thanks to the woman he called "Sister."

Unfortunately, Beibei had only ever regarded her as a sister and had never had any other thoughts. After getting to know Tang Ya, he had almost completely lost contact with that woman.

Who would have thought that he would run into Master Ye's biological nephew here in the Outer Academy cafeteria?

As Master Ye's biological nephew, this little fellow could walk sideways through the Outer Academy, or even the Inner Academy.

Within the Inner Academy, especially among the female Inner Academy students whose Soul Power Level had not broken through level seventy, they looked forward every month to eating the food supplements Master Ye personally made.

If they learned that Master Ye had reduced the monthly supply of food supplements because his nephew had been bullied in the academy.

Master Ye would not even need to act personally. The furious big foodies alone would be enough to tear apart the bastards who bullied their little brother.

"Beibei, who is Master Ye?"

Tang Ya was utterly baffled. Though she knew the Outer Academy very well—if not everything, then close enough—once it involved the Inner Academy, the true Shrek Academy, she knew nothing at all.

"Master Ye is..."

Beibei leaned close to Tang Ya's ear and whispered to her.

"Really!"

Tang Ya immediately grew excited, looking at Bai Ran as though she had discovered some world-shaking treasure.

Tang Ya: This was practically a great treasure.
