Ye Chen ultimately could not withstand the two girls' enthusiasm and headed toward the dormitory area.
Upon entering the dormitory area,
Ye Chen saw a kind, amiable old man lying on a recliner, squinting as he basked in the sun, looking very much at ease.
"Hello, Grandpa~"
Ning Tian and Wu Feng were polite girls. Whenever they saw Mu En, they would greet him.
"Mhm~"
Mu En nodded gently, a kindly smile on his face.
He did not have much time left to live. The reason he stayed here every day was because he loved watching the lively, vigorous children in the academy. It allowed him to feel youthful again, better suppress the deathly aura within him, and live a little longer...
However, Mu En's gaze soon fell upon Ye Chen. He recognized Ye Chen's identity at a glance, and his dim eyes brightened slightly.
Though he lay here every day, he knew everything happening within the academy. In particular, when Yan Shaozhe had taken a disciple, Yan Shaozhe had immediately given him Ye Chen's information.
Ye Chen's talent was simply terrifying, even surpassing his own. If he were properly nurtured, he might one day have the potential to inherit his position...
"Hello, Grandpa~"
Ye Chen also smiled and greeted Mu En. After all, this was a giant of Shrek Academy, so he certainly had to show him a friendly face.
"Mhm, what a good child."
Mu En nodded at Ye Chen as well, his eyes filled with indescribable admiration.
"Oh, right, Grandpa. It's okay for me to go to the girls' dormitory, isn't it?" Ye Chen seemed to recall something and asked, just to be safe.
Mu En:?
"What are you going to the girls' dormitory for?" Mu En was somewhat dumbfounded.
He felt that he had spoken too soon.
What kind of good child asked to go to the girls' dormitory the moment he arrived???
"It's like this, Grandpa. Ye Chen is our classmate. We invited him to our dormitory," Wu Feng hurriedly explained.
"No."
Mu En refused outright, saying sternly, "Boys are forbidden from entering the girls' dormitory. If discovered, they will be expelled."
"Grandpa, the student rules say that entering the girls' dormitory without permission warrants expulsion, but they don't say that inviting someone is forbidden. We invited Ye Chen to sit in our dormitory for a while. That doesn't violate the rules~" Ning Tian smiled sweetly, becoming rather mischievous at that moment.
As the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian was naturally exceptionally clever. She had long studied the student handbook inside and out, so exploiting a few loopholes was effortless for her.
"Uh..."
Mu En froze on the spot upon hearing that. Clearly, he was not as familiar with the student handbook as Ning Tian was.
Although the handbook was revised and trimmed every year, it was largely the same, with little difference from his era a hundred years ago.
Mu En thought to himself, Why hadn't I discovered this loophole back then...
He had lived for several hundred years and had never even been inside the girls' dormitory.
How was this brat Ye Chen so lucky?
Before Mu En could respond, Wu Feng had already impatiently grabbed Ye Chen and led him toward the girls' dormitory.
Both Wu Feng and Ning Tian had favorable impressions of Ye Chen. It was not entirely because of his looks and temperament, but also because of his strength.
In the world of Soul Masters, everyone admired the strong.
The more powerful a Soul Master was, the stronger this tendency became.
For super geniuses like Ning Tian and Wu Feng, they simply had no interest in boys weaker than themselves.
Especially Ning Tian. As the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she bore heavy responsibilities. Whether she wanted to or not, she would have to find an exceptionally powerful male Soul Master as her partner in the future.
More often than not, the partner she found would not be someone she loved.
But now, Ning Tian had a favorable impression of Ye Chen, and Ye Chen was powerful as well. He could be said to perfectly match the image of a partner in her heart. Naturally, she had to seize every opportunity to build a good relationship with him early on.
If feelings could develop between them, that would be even better.
Moreover, Ye Chen was already very strong. With the support of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he might one day become one of the continent's foremost experts and lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect back to its peak.
A short while later, Ye Chen was brought to Ning Tian and Wu Feng's room.
The moment he entered, Ye Chen caught a faint fragrance.
Once inside, Ye Chen found that the girls' dormitory was not as rundown as he had imagined. Instead, it was clean, orderly, and refreshing.
Of course, this was probably the result of their own later decorations, and most of those decorations had been handmade.
This world had neither online shopping nor Yiwu. Little items like these could basically only be made by hand. Boys were comparatively rough and naturally would not spend time on such things.
"The girls' dormitory really is nice. It's much better than the boys' dormitory," Ye Chen remarked.
"Of course. This is where we'll be living for several years, so we definitely can't be careless about it~"
Ning Tian smiled and guided Ye Chen to sit on the bed to the left.
Wu Feng cooperatively handed Ye Chen several bags of snacks and personally poured him a drink, clearly treating him as an honored guest.
"Ye Chen, your medical skills are so good. Do you know how to give massages?" Ning Tian moved closer to Ye Chen, blinking her bright eyes as she asked curiously.
"I don't know how to give massages." Ye Chen shrugged.
Ning Tian was immediately somewhat disappointed.
She had wanted Ye Chen to give her a massage and strengthen their relationship.
After physical contact, their relationship would naturally become closer.
"However, I do know acupuncture." Ye Chen smiled faintly.
His first martial soul was "Needle." Though it barely increased his combat strength, it provided excellent enhancement for acupuncture. His first Soul Skill was "Clone," which could split his "Needle" into countless copies, making it highly practical.
Ye Chen had naturally guessed Ning Tian's intentions. Since Ning Tian did not mind, he minded even less.
Though he could not claim to cure every illness, giving her a basic wellness treatment would be more than easy enough.
"Really~"
Ning Tian's eyes lit up. "I heard acupuncture can make people feel more energetic and even has beautifying effects. Ye Chen, is that true?"
"Of course it's true, though the effects aren't quite that exaggerated. But helping you relax won't be a problem."
Ye Chen smiled faintly and casually condensed a tiny silver needle. It was precisely his first martial soul.
"Ah, this is... a martial soul! Ye Chen, how do you have two martial souls?!" Ning Tian cried out in surprise.
Although the needle looked quite ordinary, she could still sense that it was indeed a martial soul!
Ye Chen... was actually a legendary wielder of Twin Martial Souls!
"This is my first martial soul. It was passed down from my father and is used for acupuncture." Ye Chen smiled but did not elaborate.
As for exposing his Twin Martial Souls, it was no big deal.
Not only was there no danger, but it could also elevate his standing in Ning Tian and Wu Feng's hearts.
After all, Twin Martial Souls combined with such talent...
Ye Chen felt that the way Ning Tian looked at him had instantly changed.
