"Yes, Dean." Seeing Yan Shaozhe arrive, the teachers hurriedly bowed to him, then left. Yan Shaozhe commanded immense prestige at Shrek Academy, and his strength was formidable as well. Now that he was here, the teachers naturally no longer needed to worry about Bei Bei's and Xu Sanshi's injuries.
Yan Shaozhe first checked Bei Bei's and Xu Sanshi's conditions.
Fortunately, Bei Bei had only suffered minor injuries. Xu Sanshi's condition, however, was far from promising. His Martial Soul had been severely damaged, and his body had sustained serious injuries as well.
"Take them away for treatment," Yan Shaozhe called toward a spot nearby. An old man in worn clothes emerged and took Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei away.
"You three, come with me as well." Yan Shaozhe looked helplessly at Qian Ran. This fellow really knew how to stir up trouble.
Bei Bei had been beaten up by Qian Ran twice in succession lately. How miserable!
But that girl from the Inner Court probably would not be happy about this!
Even Yan Shaozhe was starting to get a headache!
Zhang Lexuan had not been angry the last time Qian Ran defeated Bei Bei. But how long had it been? Qian Ran had given Bei Bei another savage beating, knocking him unconscious outright this time. If that girl decided to act, even he would not know how to protect Qian Ran. Even he was unwilling to provoke her.
Still, no matter how he looked at it, Qian Ran and Tang Ya getting together was something that would leave everyone happy!
At least it could make Bei Bei give up his love for Tang Ya, allowing those other two to get together.
In any case, Yan Shaozhe supported Tang Ya and Qian Ran being together.
This could let Bei Bei turn his affections toward Zhang Lexuan.
To turn down such a beautiful and powerful child bride-Yan Shaozhe had no idea how Bei Bei's brain worked. He truly lived amid blessings without knowing how blessed he was.
Now that Bei Bei has given up, this should be the outcome Teacher wanted to see as well, Yan Shaozhe murmured inwardly. In fact, many people in the Sea God Pavilion were following and supporting Qian Ran and Tang Ya's romance.
That was because they would rather see Bei Bei with Zhang Lexuan. Mu En had raised Zhang Lexuan, and she had grown up in the Sea God Pavilion, dearly loved by its many elders. Because Bei Bei had let Zhang Lexuan down, some elders were even deeply dissatisfied with him. Mu En, too, wanted Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan to be together.
"Dean, I..." Tang Ya had met Yan Shaozhe before. Seeing him arrive, she felt somewhat guilty and uneasy. Whatever the case, she was the reason he had been disturbed this time.
"Rest assured. There's nothing wrong with you. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi caused this incident. You aren't an Evil Soul Master either, so you don't need to worry that we'll treat you as one. We aren't that hidebound." Yan Shaozhe smiled.
Tang Ya's talent was now so great that she could even be compared to Xiaotao.
Yan Shaozhe had never expected a Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass to unleash such powerful attacks. Tang Ya had truly given him quite a surprise.
As for Qian Ran, he had already grown accustomed to his extraordinary displays. Even if Qian Ran poked a hole through the heavens, Yan Shaozhe would not find it strange.
"Really, Dean?" Tang Ya jumped up excitedly.
She had thought that even the teachers would view her unfavorably.
After all, she had to admit that her Martial Soul, Dark Blue Silver Grass, did possess an extremely sinister nature. Its ability to grow stronger by devouring life alone was enough to make many people wary.
"Of course. Not just me-the other teachers won't treat you as an Evil Soul Master either. It's just that your circumstances really are rather unusual. Under normal circumstances, Soul Masters with Martial Souls this sinister are Evil Soul Masters."
"In fact, many Evil Soul Masters aren't born evil. Children who awaken Evil Martial Souls are innocent and carefree at first, too. But after awakening their Evil Martial Souls, their temperaments change drastically. Combined with the evil methods those Martial Souls use to increase their cultivation, this leads them straight down an evil path. That's why Evil Soul Masters have become rats crossing the street, with everyone crying out to beat them."
"At present, the continent's definition of an Evil Soul Master is somewhat vague as well. But I can say for certain that you aren't one now. As for whether you'll become one in the future, that will depend on that little boyfriend of yours." Yan Shaozhe looked at Qian Ran.
If something happened to Qian Ran, how much longer could Tang Ya's current condition remain stable?
This brat!
Even Yan Shaozhe felt that Qian Ran was blessed with romantic fortune. A great beauty like Tang Ya had practically tied her heart to him. In just this short time, he had noticed that her gaze had barely ever left Qian Ran.
Qian Ran would definitely not be a devoted man in the future. There was no telling how many more girls he would get involved with.
"Dean, Qian Ran won't leave me!" Tang Ya hugged Qian Ran's hand to her chest and spoke as she rested her head sweetly against his chest. With Qian Ran by her side, she felt very safe.
"He doesn't look like someone destined to die young, either. He should live a long time." Yan Shaozhe was in a fairly good mood and even started joking.
"By the way, with your talents, have either of you considered taking a master? Xiao Ya, if you're willing, I'd like to take you as my disciple," Yan Shaozhe said as they walked. As for Qian Ran, he did not think he could take him as a disciple. Most importantly, if he did, he feared he would have to keep following behind Qian Ran and wiping his backside.
Besides, many people had their sights set on Qian Ran now, including even elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Yan Shaozhe did not want to wade into those muddy waters.
Once the two forms of Qian Ran's Martial Soul were revealed, those fellows might very well come to blows over him.
"Dean, can I really?" Tang Ya stood there in a daze. Someone of Yan Shaozhe's stature had been utterly beyond her reach before. Yet now she could actually become his disciple?
Happiness had arrived so suddenly that Tang Ya could scarcely believe it.
"Your talent is already among the very best. Of course you can. But talent isn't the only reason I want to take you as my disciple. I need to monitor your physical condition closely in the future. Taking you as my disciple will also let me keep an eye on your Martial Soul at any time," Yan Shaozhe explained. Although Tang Ya was still fairly stable now, who knew whether she might suddenly go berserk in the future?
"Wow! Xiao Ya, hurry up and say yes to the dean!" Jiang Nannan was nearly dying of envy. Tang Ya had actually turned misfortune into a blessing and become Yan Shaozhe's disciple. She was soaring into the sky in a single leap! Once she became Senior Sister Xiaotao's junior sister, who would dare bully her? With Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper, who would dare bully one of her people?
Moreover, Yan Shaozhe was the dean of Shrek Academy! As his disciple, she could swagger around Shrek Academy unchallenged.
A Super Douluo!
How glorious was it to have a Super Douluo as a teacher?
Jiang Nannan was sincerely happy for Tang Ya. By taking Tang Ya as his disciple, Yan Shaozhe was also protecting her. No one would be able to slander Tang Ya as an Evil Soul Master again.
A month ago, Tang Ya had still been worrying about successfully graduating from Shrek Academy. A month later, she had become a top genius and taken Yan Shaozhe as her master. She had truly changed so much in this past month.
All of this had come with Qian Ran's appearance, hadn't it?
At that moment, Jiang Nannan also began to reassess Qian Ran.
As long as Qian Ran could help her grow stronger, paying a price was not out of the question. But right now, she was of no use at all, and she did not know what she could offer to move him.
